Chapter 67 -67: Surrounded by Several Vicious Male Leads

As the opening time of the secret realm arrived, the cultivators entered in turn.

Nan Sheng followed closely behind Xiao Chen, but her gaze often fixed on Yan Changsheng’s retreating figure.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Yan Changsheng had been staring intently at Shen Qinghe. Had he, after their separation, reignited his old affection for Shen Qinghe?

This man had clearly said he would love her for a lifetime, so how could he change his mind just like that?

What baffled her the most was that in front of men who never resisted her, like Dongfang Wuya, she was unable to display her charm, let alone when she appeared yesterday, she was no longer as stunning as before.

The gaze of many male cultivators fell on Shen Qinghe, which was different from the scene she had imagined.

She always felt that it shouldn’t be like this. No matter where she went, she should be the focus of the crowd, the object of all men’s admiration.

Now, Shen Qinghe had stolen her limelight.

What was most unbelievable was that Dongfang Wuya followed beside Shen Qinghe, Yan Changsheng stood behind Shen Qinghe staring at her, and even Xiao Chen beside her occasionally looked towards Shen Qinghe’s figure.

It seemed that overnight, Shen Qinghe had taken her place as the belle of the ball, with the gaze of all the distinguished sons lingering on Shen Qinghe.

Upon careful consideration, Nan Sheng felt a surge of panic deep within her.

She could not allow this to happen. Once they entered the Red Moon Secret Realm, she had to find a way to kill Shen Qinghe and remove the threat once and for all.

Shen Qinghe always felt several gazes following her, and she thought it was because of Dongfang Wuya, so she didn’t take it to heart. However, one gaze made her particularly uncomfortable; she suddenly turned around and locked eyes with Nan Sheng’s cold gaze that hadn’t been withdrawn in time.

She casually looked away, wondering if she had somehow provoked the female protagonist again. The look in Nan Sheng’s eyes just now was clearly murderous.

Could it be because of Dongfang Wuya beside her? After all, Dongfang Wuya, being the male protagonist of the book, should belong to the female protagonist, so it wouldn’t be strange for the female protagonist to hold a grudge against her.

This trip into the Red Moon Secret Realm was unpredictable, and for all she knew, Nan Sheng might be planning to kill her there. The murderous intent in Nan Sheng’s eyes was unmistakable earlier.

Dongfang Wuya noticed Shen Qinghe glancing at him from time to time and asked softly, “Are you scared?”

Shen Qinghe revered life and death but was no longer as intimidated by the protagonist as before, “Not scared.”

Yet, Dongfang Wuya felt that Shen Qinghe was pretending to be brave. After all, she was still young, in her twenties, and it was her first time venturing out for trials, with a pitifully low cultivation base.

He should be gentler and more soothing towards such a young girl.

He then took her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”

Shen Qinghe’s expression became a bit stiff as she looked down at her hand tightly grasped by Dongfang Wuya.

He was just short of interlocking fingers with her, leaving her a bit overwhelmed.

This, wasn’t this too intimate?

She tried to break free from the warm grasp of the man, but he held on even tighter, “Don’t move.”

Shen Qinghe felt like crying but had no tears; this level of intimacy was frankly too much. Dongfang Wuya and she were not daoist companions, so what was this holding hands all about?

Previously, he had only held her wrist, but now he was holding her hand?

Not only did Shen Qinghe herself find it absurd, Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen also found the scene quite an eyesore.

In Yan Changsheng’s view, Qinghe was young and naive, unaware of the treacherousness of the human heart. Dongfang Wuya, however, was different; although he appeared to be a gentleman on the surface, he was subtly taking liberties with Qinghe each time.

Qinghe, however, still trusted Dongfang Wuya unconditionally, foolishly so.

“Mr. Wuya, please let go of Qinghe. If you wish for a female cultivator, there are many who would willingly give themselves to you, but Qinghe is not just any woman. Isn’t it disrespectful to treat her so frivolously?” Yan Changsheng stepped forward, speaking with righteous indignation.

In his heart, Dongfang Wuya thought he was the one at a disadvantage.

Shen Qinghe could not hide her affection for him, and it was because she was timid that he gave her a sense of security, allowing her the chance to take liberties with him.

Dongfang Wuya ignored Yan Changsheng and directly asked Shen Qinghe, “Do you think I am taking liberties with you?”

Shen Qinghe knew Dongfang Wuya had good intentions when he held her hand, as he had never treated her like a woman. With that being the case, how could he be intentionally taking liberties with her?

Besides, she couldn’t allow Dongfang Wuya to lose face to Yan Changsheng.

“Of course not!” Shen Qinghe replied with certainty.

Although she also felt that Dongfang Wuya holding her hand was inappropriate, she could not say so publicly and embarrass him.

Dongfang Wuya was very pleased with Shen Qinghe’s answer. To provoke Yan Changsheng, he deliberately raised their clasped hands and played with Shen Qinghe’s slender fingers like green onions, his eyes filled with disdainful provocation.

Shen Qinghe: …

Yan Changsheng with a dark face: …

Xiao Chen with a grim face: …

Nan Sheng felt uncomfortable when she noticed Xiao Chen staring intensely at Dongfang Wuya and Shen Qinghe’s tightly clasped hands, as if he wanted to burn a hole through them.

If she had been doubting herself before, the current situation made her tremble with fear.

Xiao Chen indeed had thoughts about Shen Qinghe; the way he looked at her was the way a man looks at a woman.

After all, she was Xiao Chen’s fiancée, how could he treat her like this?

She couldn’t imagine the ridicule she would face in the Sky Pole Sect if one day Xiao Chen discovered Shen Qinghe was the only one for him and abandoned her.

Shen Zhiyao, who had been secretly following behind the group of protagonists, also saw this absurd scene and wondered to herself, what on earth was going on?

Qinghe, the expendable character, was surrounded by several vicious male leads. Could she end up being flayed and dismembered by the protagonists? And why was Dongfang Wuya, the most troublesome male lead, playing with her sister’s fingers?

Are Qinghe’s fingers toys? Are fingers things to be played with?

If it weren’t for Qinghe repeatedly telling her that Dongfang Wuya treated her as a junior, she would suspect that Dongfang Wuya was indeed interested in Qinghe’s body.

Poor Qinghe, insulted by the male lead and unable to utter a word—how pitiful.

Shu Xiu gently tugged at Shen Zhiyao’s sleeve: “Am I seeing things? Mr. Wuya is holding Qinghe’s hand and even playing with it from time to time. Could their relationship be what I am thinking it is?”

Shen Zhiyao looked to the sky, speechless. She too wanted to know what was going on, didn’t she?

Qinghe was her most beloved sister, and here she was, her hand played with by Dongfang Wuya, the wicked male lead—and not in a way that implied he would take responsibility. She was tempted to step forward and pull Qinghe to her side.

“Zhiyao, I’m talking to you. Is Mr. Wuya involved with Qinghe or not?” Shu Xiu said with a sigh, “If that were true, it would be great. It would show Second Senior Brother that even without him, Qinghe has found a better, more outstanding man.”

Shen Zhiyao snorted: “You’re thinking too much, Mr. Wuya and Qinghe don’t have anything to do with each other!”

Not to mention more than that!!
