Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 85: Sibling Reunion

To Qin Li, the identity she took pride in was not being the eldest daughter of the Qin family but being Qin Xian’s sister.

In her heart, Qin Xian was the most perfect man in the world. He was handsome, far surpassing any so-called celebrities, with features and physique that seemed as if they were sculpted from a painting.

His strength was unmatched, universally recognized as the number one genius in the human world.

His depth of character and scheming was remarkable; while the children of other noble families plotted over trivial matters and indulged in celebrity flings, Qin Xian was already making decisions for the Qin family, acting as one of the empire’s behind-the-scenes strategists.

Though Qin Li herself was outstanding, her close relationship with Qin Xian, the ability to stand beside him, was purely due to her status as his sister. In the imperial capital, countless noblewomen envied Qin Li to an extreme degree.

Now, however, Ye Xuan was telling her that she wasn’t Qin Xian’s sister, but his. Naturally, this made Qin Li furious. Anyone who dared to drive a wedge between her and her brother deserved death!

Qin Li immediately activated her Deathbringer Angel state and charged at Ye Xuan. Though she had leveled up to 23 after completing the instance, there was still a significant gap between her and Ye Xuan.

However, her profession as a Deathbringer Angel allowed her a chance to trigger instant death effects, a threat even Ye Xuan, having ascended to Dragon God, did not dare confront head-on.

Ye Xuan twisted and maneuvered with agility akin to a dragon, evading Qin Li’s attacks. He quickly tried to explain, “I’m telling the truth, sister! Your name isn’t Qin Li—it’s Ye Li!”

“We are both descendants of the Ye family. If you don’t believe me, did you have a dream during your awakening? Did you see a long serpent?”

Hearing this, Qin Li’s expression shifted slightly, and her attack slowed down. Indeed, she had dreamed of a long serpent during her awakening, but she had only ever told her brother Qin Xian about it. How did Ye Xuan know?

Seeing her hesitation, Ye Xuan quickly added, “Do you also have a birthmark shaped like a long serpent on your lower leg? I have one too!”

Saying this, he lifted his pant leg, revealing a serpent-shaped birthmark identical to her own. For a moment, Qin Li was stunned. Could it be that this Ye Xuan truly was her biological brother?

Seeing her stop her attack, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face as he looked at her with excitement. “Our Ye family is one of the Twelve Primal Families, blessed by the Palace of Serpents!”

“The Ye family…?” A look of confusion appeared on Qin Li’s face.

Ye Xuan felt a deep sadness seeing the puzzlement in her expression. After the Ye family was annihilated, the empire had gradually erased all traces of its existence. Most of the Ye family’s legacy had been wiped out.

In less than twenty years, the once-prestigious Ye family was almost forgotten by the world, to the point that even Qin Li, a descendant of the Ye family, barely knew of it.

“Sister, we share the blood of the Ye family. Our father was Ye Buqiu, the head of the family. Back then… the Ye family was exterminated!”

Ye Xuan’s face darkened as he slowly recounted the Ye family’s tragic fall. “When our family was destroyed, I barely managed to escape, and you were adopted by the Qin family.”

“I’ve spent years trying to find you, but never had the opportunity. This time, I entered the Broken Heaven instance specifically to rescue you. And now, I’ve finally succeeded!”

His heart was filled with overwhelming emotion, even to the point of tears, as he silently thought, “Father, Mother, I’ve finally found my sister. From now on, I’ll never be separated from her again!”

However, unlike Ye Xuan’s excitement, Qin Li appeared… far more composed, even cold. Her face was expressionless, and she remained silent.

So… this was her true background.

In truth, Qin Li had known from a young age that she wasn’t Qin Xian’s biological sister but rather an adopted child of the Qin family. She had simply never pursued the matter because Qin Xian had told her that all she needed to know was that she was his sister.

For years, she lived carefree by Qin Xian’s side, following her brother without a care, living a simple life. In her world, Qin Xian was everything to her.

But now, Ye Xuan had suddenly appeared and told her she was a daughter of the Ye family—a family with an unending vendetta against the Qin family.

Not only was Qin Xian no longer her brother, but he was also her enemy. She was supposed to join Ye Xuan in seeking revenge against the Qin family, to kill Qin Xian!

In truth, Qin Li didn’t feel any hatred. Instead, she was filled with fear. She had no affection for Ye Xuan or this so-called Ye family. All she cared about was Qin Xian!

She was terrified that if the truth came to light, Qin Xian… would no longer treat her as his sister. Would her brother, Qin Xian, push her away or, even worse, refuse to acknowledge her anymore?

This was what frightened her the most.

Ye Xuan looked at her and couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to embrace her, to ease his longing for his sister. When he had seen Qin Li and Qin Xian embracing at the entrance of the instance, he had been filled with jealousy and envy.

But now, they had finally reunited as siblings. His heart was brimming with excitement, and he longed to touch her face, to inhale her scent.

However, Ye Xuan quickly noticed that there was no trace of happiness or excitement on Qin Li’s face. Instead, her expression was dark and somber.

A hint of confusion and bewilderment flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. This was completely different from what he had imagined!

In his vision, after revealing the truth, Qin Li would have been filled with joy, and the two siblings would embrace each other, shedding tears of happiness.

They would become each other’s sole support in this world, joining forces to kill Qin Xian, rally the former allies of the Ye family, and seek revenge on the Qin family, ultimately restoring the Ye family’s legacy.

But now…

From the very beginning, Qin Li’s reaction seemed completely off.

On her face, not a hint of joy or excitement could be seen; instead, it was full of darkness. Ye Xuan even thought he saw a trace of… disdain for him in her eyes.
