Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Ye Chen’s Complete Corruption, Jiang Yun’er on the Brink of Death

Watching the unconscious Ye Chen, Gu Yunqi’s gaze softened with pity. She had thought herself harsh, but her junior sister, Jiang Yun’er, had outdone her, castrating Ye Chen outright.

“Junior sister, you’re truly ruthless,” Gu Yunqi said with a charming smile, slightly teasing.

“Hmph, he got what he deserved!” Jiang Yun’er huffed indignantly. “Daring to treat me like this, castrating him was letting him off easy. If it weren’t for the fact we are from the same sect, I would have killed him already!”

“Have you vented enough? I need to take him,” Gu Yunqi said, looking at Ye Chen. She still had to find her sister’s whereabouts and wasn’t ready to let Ye Chen go.

Jiang Yun’er nodded, said her farewells, and left. Gu Yunqi then instructed her bodyguards to carry Ye Chen, bloodied and limp like a dead dog, to the car before leaving.

Jiang Che watched Jiang Yun’er leave, gasping at her ruthlessness. Ye Chen, barely alive, probably didn’t even want to live now, especially after becoming a eunuch.

“Let’s go home. No need to monitor Ye Chen anymore,” he instructed his bodyguards, then settled back for a rest.

At the Gu residence, the bodyguards dumped the lifeless Ye Chen onto the floor. “Is this the one who kidnapped Yunxi?” Gu Zhengde asked, looking at Ye Chen and then at Gu Yunqi.

“Yes, it’s him,” Gu Yunqi confirmed.

“Bring some cold water, wake him up,” Gu Zhengde ordered. Soon, a servant splashed cold water onto Ye Chen.

Ye Chen slowly came to, gasping at the pain all over his body. Realizing his condition, he was dumbfounded. “Why…” he muttered hoarsely, his voice now lacking its masculine edge. Had he, Ye Chen, become the last eunuch of the Jiuzhou Kingdom?

Ye Chen couldn’t understand why Jiang Yun’er would do this to him, especially after their recent deal. A fierce anger rose in him, more intense than ever before. He hated Jiang Yun’er, wishing he could kill her right then.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped him, growing visibly stronger. “Why…why has God done this to me?” he struggled to his feet, his tattered clothes contrasted by the powerful aura he now emitted, his eyes bloodshot, his face twisted in fury.

Gu Yunqi watched, her brow furrowed. Something seemed off, and the situation was taking an unexpected turn.

Ye Chen’s chaotic energy stabilized suddenly, and he seemed to have broken through to the mid-stage of the Innate level in his rage.

Gu Yunqi was astounded. Just a minute ago, Ye Chen was nearly dead, and now he had made a breakthrough?

Without saying anything, Ye Chen turned and left.

“Stop him…” Gu Zhengde began, but Gu Yunqi stopped him.

“Don’t provoke him; he’s fallen into demonic cultivation,” she said, remembering her master’s teachings about martial artists potentially falling into demonic states under extreme anger. Clearly, Ye Chen was in such a state.

After Ye Chen left the Gu residence, Gu Zhengde asked, “What about Yunxi?”

“Leave it to me, Dad. I’ll bring Yunxi back safe and sound,” Gu Yunqi reassured him, then called Jiang Yun’er. “Ye Chen has fallen into demonic cultivation. He might come after you, be careful.”

She also called Shen Qingqiu, as he was the only one who could handle Ye Chen in this state.

“Ding, Ye Chen has blackened, completely losing the protagonist’s aura.”

At Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che was about to sleep when the system’s prompt suddenly rang in his mind, leaving him somewhat puzzled, but then the system fell silent.

“He’s been forced into blackening, isn’t there a villain value reward?” Jiang Che asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

“Ye Chen’s descent into darkness was not caused by the host, so there is no villain value reward,” the system explained.

Jiang Che pondered over this. He could understand Ye Chen’s transformation. After arriving in Linjiang City, everything went wrong for him. He found the person who destroyed his family but lacked the strength for revenge.

His respected senior sisters one by one left him, and finally, Jiang Yun’er turned him into a eunuch. Such circumstances would likely drive anyone to darkness.

“Since he’s blackened, it’s time for him to die…” With Ye Chen losing his protagonist’s aura and no longer useful for harvesting villain value, Jiang Che felt there was no point in keeping him around.

“Young Master, you…” Ah Qing asked in confusion, watching Jiang Che suddenly fall into thought.

“I need to step out for a bit; I’ll play games with you when I return.” Jiang Che kissed Ah Qing on the forehead, dressed, and left the room, leaving Ah Qing alone in bed, looking at his departing figure with a wistful gaze.

“Young Master is such a bad guy~”

At 1 AM, Ye Chen arrived at the gates of the Jiang family. “Jiang Yun’er, come out and die!” His voice, filled with rage, echoed endlessly in the quiet night, sounding especially piercing.

Jiang Yun’er, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake by the roar. She got up in a fury, ready to confront the intruder.

“Ye Chen?” Seeing the man standing at the gate, bruised, tattered, and emitting a sinister aura, Jiang Yun’er hesitated.

She remembered Gu Yunqi’s phone call an hour ago, mentioning Ye Chen’s transformation. She had thought it was a joke, considering Ye Chen’s state at that time.

“Jiang Yun’er, die!” Once he confirmed it was Jiang Yun’er, Ye Chen’s face twisted into a maniacal grin, and he rushed towards her. His speed was ghostly fast, reaching her in an instant and fiercely punching her abdomen.

Jiang Yun’er paled and quickly gathered her strength to resist Ye Chen’s attack. However, she had underestimated the power of the darkened Ye Chen and was not a match for him.

She retreated several steps before steadying herself, blood seeping from her mouth.

Ye Chen didn’t give her a chance to recover, concentrating his internal energy into his palm and striking again. Jiang Yun’er was sent flying into the living room, crashing into a sofa.

“Daughter…” Jiang Yun’er’s parents, who had also awakened, couldn’t help her, so they stayed in the living room. Now, seeing her thrown back, they rushed to her side.

“Daughter… are you hurt?” Jiang Yun’er’s mother asked, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll shoot!” Jiang Yun’er’s father pulled out a gun and warned Ye Chen as he approached.

“What are you bodyguards waiting for?” He turned to the petrified bodyguards, scolding them for their inaction.

“Get moving, or pack up and leave tomorrow!” The bodyguards, jolted by the scolding, hesitated before one charged at Ye Chen.

As expected, Ye Chen easily overpowered them, knocking them out in quick succession.

“You… don’t come any closer…” Jiang Yun’er’s father trembled, his forehead beading with sweat.

“Shoot if you dare…” Ye Chen sneered and slapped him away. Jiang Yun’er’s father was sent flying into a corner of the living room, knocked out before he could speak.

Ye Chen then turned his malevolent gaze back to Jiang Yun’er. “You venomous woman, I had no feud with you, yet you treated me so cruelly! Now, die!” His sinister laugh filled the air as he directed a sword energy towards Jiang Yun’er’s neck.

Jiang Yun’er, despairing, closed her eyes, expecting the end. However, after waiting, she felt no pain and opened her eyes in confusion.
