After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 135: This Is Not Xianxia

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family felt as if his dignity had been swept to the ground.

“B-Bastard… You bastard! Sob, sob, sob!”

After being released by Ah Yue, the young girl seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She sat on the ground and wiped the glistening tears from the corner of her mouth, complaining with teary eyes.

Her cheeks were stained with tears, and her luxurious clothes were wrinkled and stained with dust.

She looked very different from the original arrogant little princess who could throw money at people at will. She looked pitiful and very embarrassed.

On the other side, the hidden guards were not useless. Although they could not defeat a sword Xiu expert like Li Jiutong, they were very good at controlling people.

Pills, formations, and props that limited cultivation were all used on him, and a master of the Synthesis stage was dragged away.

It was almost midnight, and it was as if the disturbance that had happened in the City of Ten Thousand Swords had not happened at all.

“Sigh…”

Liu Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart as if he had just lost his life. He put Evil Heart of Killing back into its scabbard and kept the sword in the array in his sleeve.

It was too difficult for him to judge who was right and who was wrong in the current situation.

Could one simply judge a relationship based on right and wrong?

If he could, there would not be a saying that ‘it’s difficult for an honest official to resolve family affairs.’

When it came to matters of the heart, he could only use his feelings to judge, and the scales were undoubtedly biased towards Duan Lanruo. However, when Ye Cike moved closer to the blade, he could not help but be moved.

It would be a lie to say that he did not like a character that he had personally conquered.

It was just that this kind of like and true love were very different.

When he thought about how she was doing this because of him, he could not help but soften his heart, and the conflict between the two feelings in his heart intensified.

For these girls, the beautiful stories that had really happened and the real emotions that existed were just beautiful paintings and attractive plots to Liu Yuan.

“What are you waiting for? Go and coax her.”

Liu Yuan was in a daze when he was suddenly elbowed by Duan Lanruo.

He turned around and see the City Lord’s gentle gaze. “You can’t let her go, and she’s done so much for you. Are you going to hang her out and wait for her tears to dry?”

The gentle scolding and a little resentment were almost like worrying about his own child’s emotional problems, making Liu Yuan feel a strange feeling in his heart.

As expected, she was hovering between the two roles of a mother and a wife. Liu Yuan filled in the missing kinship and love that Duan Lian had been missing all year round.

In the past, there had been no such signs when he was conquering her. However, ever since the favorability bar was locked, the change in their attitude seemed to be getting more and more obvious.

Liu Yuan suspected that it was not locked before was probably because Duan Lanruo had unknowingly changed her role to that of a ‘mother’.

The premise of being able to replace was that the two had never had a relationship that went beyond the rules, but it was replaced by Ah Yue.

This way, she would not be jealous and would not be so magnanimous.

Liu Yuan’s pondering silence was taken as hesitation by Duan Lanruo.

The City Lord revealed a helpless smile. “Didn’t I want to help you win them over from the beginning? Now you’re the one who spoke up for me instead… Alright, just go ahead and talk to her, get her to be obedient. That’s good enough for me.”

From a conquering strategy point of view, it was undoubtedly a huge failure for Liu Yuan to break Ye Cike’s heart because he had already locked Duan Lanruo’s favorability. However, from an emotional point of view, Liu Yuan felt that he had done nothing wrong.

However, Ye Cike’s favorability did not drop.

Just as Liu Yuan, who was a little confused, walked forward…

Aa Yue once again disappeared into the darkness. Before she left, she guiltily sent a message, “The wound on Young Mistress’s neck is fine, but I was a little slow in putting away the knife, and the skin was scraped a little. If you want to punish me, I have no objections.”

“…”

Even though he had confirmed that she was fine, Liu Yuan still subconsciously glanced at Ye Cike’s slender neck.

A few drops of blood rolled down, leaving a shocking mark on her skin.

Surprisingly, it had not healed yet.

This was not Xianxia.

Ah Yue paused. “I’ve just checked. Young Mistress Ye’s inner breath is slightly chaotic, but her spiritual power is abundant. It’s circulating in her body in a defensive posture.”

The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. So you were not trying to stop her from biting her tongue, but you were taking the opportunity to check on her physical condition.

Thinking about it, in the Xianxia world, biting one’s tongue to commit suicide was the fastest way to commit suicide.

However, this defensive posture was very spiritual, and the slight disorder of her inner breath was also super subtle.

In other words, didn’t that mean that the noble and proud Young Mistress Ye had already taken defensive measures before he bumped into the knife?

Although Liu Yuan was worried about Ye Cike, he could not help but twitch his mouth.

In his impression, Ye Cike’s character was not that extreme. Even though it was only right for her to be angry, Liu Yuan did not expect her to be so unyielding.

According to the background information of the character… She had been entrusted with high hopes by the elders of the Xuanyin family all year round, and all her daily life and cultivation arrangements had already been planned out, just like many of the top students now.

However, compared to the modern world, the internet, and the different environment, Ye Cike had lived in the Xuanyin family, which was isolated from the outside world, since she was a child.

In the Xuanyin family, she was like the hope of the family, a rare pearl that had been polished to shine in all directions.

She was submissive and helpless towards the inner circle of the aristocratic families, but she was arrogant and proud towards the outside world.

But at the same time, she was actually quite indecisive.

To her, Liu Yuan was a variable that had completely broken her daily routine. Because the Xuanyang Pearl had fused with him, Ye Cike was destined to be with him.

Ye Cike, who had never come into contact with a man before, had placed all his girlish heart on him.

Unlike other characters, Ye Cike was actually a self-contained player. In the past, she would pull up her sleeves and say, ‘Will you always be with me?’ After receiving a positive reply, she would turn around and say, ‘I won’t be sad even if you leave’ or even ‘Don’t leave’ in her sleep.

It was quite interesting to poke at such a tsundere young lady once in a while.

However, since she had already spoken to Shen Sifan, she should know that the number of women Liu Yuan had connections with had already reached more than one hand. It was a little awkward to go from a squirrel to a hedgehog.

Ye Cike was still sobbing. When he saw Liu Yuan walking over, he squatted down and reached out his hand. He snorted and turned his head.

Xiu’er’s heart ached. Her Young Mistress had never been wronged like this.

She did not care that she had been thrown aside by Ah Yue just now, she ran over and hurriedly tried to help the Young Mistress up, reaching out to pat away the dust. “Young Mistress, the ground is cold, your body is cold.”

Ye Cike shook off Xiu’er’s hand and wiped the tears on her face. She looked depressed and said angrily, “I’m fine!”

The girl stood up with a straight face, but before she could stand up, her vision turned black, and her vision suddenly began to spin.

Shit, my emotions fluctuated too much. I miscalculated!

“Xiu’er…”

The girl did not finish her words. Before she passed out, she was still thinking, ‘Xiu-er, don’t you catch me.’
