Chapter 7: Sigh, It’s So Hard Being a Good Person!

“You’re lying…”

Xiao Yueluo stared fixedly at Bai Yue.

Her eyes, which had been as dull as dead ashes, now blazed with searing fury and hatred.

The corners of her eyes had split from extreme rage, seeping traces of blood.

“How could Qingyan possibly sign something like that?!

It must have been you!

You forced her, you demoness!!!”

“Forced her?”

Bai Yue barely suppressed the surging spiritual energy within her, looking down at Xiao Yueluo, who was bristling like an enraged little beast.

She let out a cold laugh: “Xiao Yueluo, do you think too highly of yourself?

Right now, you’re nothing but a cripple who can’t even gather a wisp of spiritual energy.

If she hadn’t knelt outside my door like a dog for three days and three nights, bashing her head bloody to beg me, do you think this lady would have any interest in your pathetic life?”

“Shut up!!!”

Xiao Yueluo let out a piercing, heart-rending scream.

She suddenly produced a pair of scissors from beneath her clothes and, like a madwoman, charged recklessly at Bai Yue.

“Yueluo!

No—!”

Su Qingyan, who had been kneeling on the ground like a dead woman, finally broke.

She lunged forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Xiao Yueluo’s legs.

“Let go of me!

Qingyan, let me go!

I’ll kill this demoness!!!”

Xiao Yueluo struggled fiercely, thrashing about wildly.

In her frantic flailing, the scissors slashed a deep, bloody gash across Su Qingyan’s arm.

But Su Qingyan seemed to feel no pain at all.

She only held on tighter, tears pouring like a broken dam, streaming down her pale cheeks.

“It’s useless, Yueluo, it’s useless…”

Su Qingyan’s voice was filled with endless despair and pleading, shaking her head frantically: “Please, don’t throw your life away.

I’m begging you.

As long as you live, I’ll do anything…”

“Why?!

Why are you so foolish?!”

Xiao Yueluo’s scissors clattered to the ground.

She collapsed in despair among the rubble, pulling Su Qingyan into a fierce embrace.

The two young women wept together amidst the wreckage.

Watching this tear-jerking scene of “sisterly devotion,” Bai Yue maintained a frosty expression on the surface, the corners of her mouth twisted into the standard contemptuous smirk of a villainess.

But inside, she was sobbing her heart out while biting a little handkerchief.

「Wuwuwu… so moving!

This damn beautiful love!

Willing to give up everything for each other!

System, you’re truly heartless!

Forcing me to tear apart such a perfect couple!」

[Warning: Host, please correct your attitude.

You are currently a malicious female villain.

If you continue to display excessive sympathy and cause the character to break, the system will deem the mission a failure.]

The system’s voice was cold and devoid of any human warmth.

「Nag, nag, nag.

Mind your own business!

This lady is acting here, don’t I need to get into character?」

Bai Yue rolled her eyes mentally.

She took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the surging spiritual energy within her body.

She couldn’t afford to stay any longer.

Xiao Yueluo’s emotions were already at a breaking point.

If she provoked her any further, who knew if the Heaven’s Chosen Maiden might spontaneously awaken and prematurely activate that so-called ancient divine bloodline?

“Enough.”

Bai Yue spoke coldly, cutting off their sobbing.

“I don’t have time to watch you two perform a tearful parting scene.”

She swept her wide flowing sleeves in a grand gesture.

Hum—!

A delicate jade boat, no larger than a palm, flew out from her sleeve.

It expanded as it caught the wind, rapidly transforming into a ten-zhang-long, ornately carved spiritual energy vessel that floated steadily in mid-air above the City Lord’s mansion’s main hall.

The flying boat glowed with a soft white light, array runes shimmering across its surface—clearly a top-tier flying treasure of incalculable value.

“Su Qingyan, bring your precious childhood friend and get on the flying boat.”

Bai Yue gave the cold order without turning around, her tone brooking no argument.

Su Qingyan trembled all over, forcing down the humiliation and grief in her heart as she climbed to her feet.

She dared not defy the master-servant contract.

Carefully, she reached out to help Xiao Yueluo: “Yueluo… let’s go.”

Xiao Yueluo bit her lower lip so hard that bright red blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her crimson wedding gown in a stark, jarring sight.

She didn’t refuse Su Qingyan’s assistance.

But just as she turned to leave, she looked back, her gaze cutting like a blade across the Xiao family elders playing dead in the corner, and Wang Batian kneeling and trembling on the ground.

“I will remember today’s humiliation.”

Her voice was as light as a breeze, yet carried a bone-chilling coldness: “If I ever set foot on the path of immortality again, I will make you all—repay it a hundredfold!”

Caught in that icy stare, the Grand Elder shuddered violently, soiled himself, rolled his eyes back, and passed out on the spot.

Only after Su Qingyan had helped Xiao Yueluo onto the flying boat did Bai Yue slowly walk out of the main hall.

Just before stepping onto the vessel, she paused, looking down at Wang Batian, who was kowtowing frantically, as if granted a reprieve.

“Lord Wang.”

“Y-Yes, Senior!

What are your instructions?!”

Wang Batian scrambled forward on his hands and knees.

“Since the Xiao family has already given the girl to you, then the Xiao family no longer needs to exist.”

Bai Yue spoke the cruelest words in the most indifferent tone.

“This…” Wang Batian paused for a moment, then a glint of wild joy and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

“This junior understands!

Rest assured, Immortal!”

Killing with a borrowed blade.

For a family like the Xiao family, who had betrayed their own and sold their daughter for profit, Bai Yue the Pure Love Warrior felt nothing but contempt.

Clearing out these disgusting early-game mobs for the Heaven’s Chosen Maiden was always part of her plan.

For scum, there must be scum to grind them down.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Yue tapped her toes lightly, her red-clad figure drifting gracefully onto the flying boat’s deck.

With a flash of dazzling spiritual light, the boat shot into the sky, kicking up a gust of wind.

It streaked across the clouds like a shooting star, disappearing into the sea of clouds above Qinghe City in an instant.

Leaving behind only a wrecked City Lord’s mansion and a coming storm of bloodshed about to sweep through Qinghe City.

Aboard the flying boat, the clouds churned all around.

The fierce gale was blocked by the protective array surrounding the vessel.

The deck was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Xiao Yueluo and Su Qingyan huddled together in a corner of the deck, clinging to each other.

Xiao Yueluo was still in a state of extreme weakness and fury, glaring fixedly at the figure ahead.

Su Qingyan, like a startled fawn, remained on high alert, wary of the master who might strike at any moment.

Bai Yue stood with her hands clasped behind her back, facing the wind.

Her expression was cold as frost, exuding an air of immortal elegance and unassailable mastery.

But inside, she was already frantically scratching her head, racking her brain.

「The rescue went smoothly, and I’ve maxed out the early-game hate meter… but how the hell do I navigate the next minefield?

I can’t actually treat them like dogs, can I?

I need to find a way to throw these poor kids a bone without breaking character or triggering the system’s alarms…

Sigh, it’s so hard being a good person!」
