After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 64

Lucky?

Li Si felt an unprecedented humiliation!

Driven by anger and pain, his facial features began to contort, and he trembled with rage.

“Hm? You seem to disagree with what I said?” Jiang Chen’s voice sounded.

Hearing this, Li Si shuddered again.

A wise man can bend and stretch, and he certainly didn’t want to lose his life here, so he gritted his teeth and said,

“I agree very much!”

“But your expression says otherwise,” Jiang Chen added.

Helpless, Li Si had to suppress his anger and endure the severe pain, barely managing to squeeze out a smile.

After speaking, he turned to look at the other disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower, who had already turned pale with fright, and asked, “Why? Aren’t you going to avenge him?”

The disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower shook their heads in unison.

When Jiang Chen suddenly made his move, they had thought of it. But they dismissed the idea when they saw the superior-grade spiritual sword.

That was a superior-grade spiritual sword!

One strike could wipe them all out!

“What about you? Aren’t you going to capture me?”

Jiang Chen then looked at the several cultivators who had arrived just moments ago.

These cultivators were uniformly dressed and clearly kept by the owner of Lingshan Town to maintain order.

“Let’s go!”

Without any hesitation, the leading cultivator immediately retreated.

As this scene unfolded, the onlookers didn’t dare to stay any longer and scattered in a rush.

Jiang Chen looked bored and squatted down again, his gaze fixed on Li Si.

“What… what else do you want to do?” Li Si’s voice trembled.

“Nothing much, just realizing…”

Jiang Chen paused, then seriously said, “I actually prefer that unruly look you had before. Remember to bring it back the next time we meet.”

Li Si nearly fainted from anger.

Without wasting any more time, Jiang Chen turned and left.

Qingning didn’t immediately follow but instead squatted down beside Li Si and then offered him a pill.

“What is this?” Li Si was startled as he looked at the pill in front of him.

“A fourth-grade Qi and Blood Pill for you. Eat it quickly and don’t die on me,” Qingning replied.

Li Si was so touched!

He had long heard that Qingning was as beautiful as she was kind, and it was indeed true!

If it weren’t for the fact that this was not the time to be moved, he might even cry!

Li Si reached out with his remaining hand to take the pill while trembling.

But in an instant, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen looking back and was scared into retracting his hand!

He had just made a casual conversation with Qingning and had his hand chopped off.

If he really accepted Qingning’s kindness now, who knew what Jiang Chen would do to him?

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die like this,” Qingning said earnestly.

The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman!

Li Si’s nose tingled.

Glancing at Jiang Chen again and seeing that he had walked away, Li Si quickly took the pill and looked up,

“Sister Qingning, take care! Don’t let that Jiang Chen take advantage of you, he’s not a hu…”

Li Si wanted to curse Jiang Chen for not being human.

But as the words reached his lips, he couldn’t continue.

Because he saw…

Qingning was smiling.

Her smile was like a blooming white lotus, pure and lovely, utterly bewitching!

The problem was, at this moment, his appearance was a mess, and blood was still ‘sizzling’ from where his hand had been severed.

Who could still smile at such a sight?

This woman… something was off!

Li Si instantly felt goosebumps all over with a deep-seated fear creeping into his bones.

Qingning didn’t pay him any more attention and left to catch up with Jiang Chen.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, and smiled sweetly, “Isn’t my Eldest Senior Brother kind? It’s just that he’s too soft-hearted.”

Hearing this, Li Si felt a chill run through his body…

……

Several hours later, on the spiritual boat outside Lingshan Town.

Jiang Chen was lying comfortably while Qingning was hopping back and forth on the deck.

Her expression was extremely excited, like someone who was riding a spiritual boat for the first time.

Glancing at her, Jiang Chen popped a spiritual fruit into his mouth.

He was being too hasty. He felt he had been far too rash!

How could he assume that Qingning was going mad just because of her unusual behavior?

Was it not just that she was smiling more and had become closer to him, her Eldest Senior Brother?

At most, these changes could be considered abnormal, but they were far from madness!

Although this part of the story wasn’t written in the original work and he didn’t know what was going on, hadn’t there been many instances where the plot deviated from the original?

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. After all, madness usually involved brutality, bloodlust, and something drastic.

Even if it wasn’t self-harm like Lin Mubai, one wouldn’t expect a mad person to save others.

Considering how Qingning had just given Li Si some medicinal pills, she still seemed kind-hearted. This meant that the likelihood of her being mad was very low.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen rubbed his temples and sighed deeply.

He felt that he had been overly influenced by Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai, which made him see madness in everyone.

As these thoughts passed through his mind, night had fallen.

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to rest, Qingning suddenly ran over with her eyes shining and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, it’s quiet at night, let’s do something exciting?”

“Exciting?”

Jiang Chen perked up. “How exciting? Is it the kind of thing that’s very thrilling but also a bit tiring and likely to make you sweat?”

“Wow, Eldest Senior Brother is so smart!” Qingning clapped her hands.

“…”

Jiang Chen hesitated.

If Qingning complained to Xiao Hongyi afterward, wouldn’t he be kicked out of the Jiuyan Sect early in a matter of seconds?

Besides, Lin Feng hadn’t even joined the sect yet, and he hadn’t started making enemies.

Moreover…

Having lived through nine cycles of reincarnation, he had always seen Qingning as a younger sister, which made it really difficult for him to proceed.

He was torn inside.

Seeing that Jiang Chen hadn’t responded, Qingning grabbed his hand and started dragging him out of the spiritual boat.

This moment completely baffled Jiang Chen.

Weren’t they supposed to go inside the cabin?

In a confused state, he was dragged out of the spiritual boat by Qingning, and after much effort, they bypassed Lingshan Town and arrived at an open area.

“This will do.”

After looking around, Qingning nodded in satisfaction.

“This?!” Jiang Chen couldn’t believe it.

“Yes, this place is good. No one will discover us for a short time.”

“But…”

“There are no buts. We’re already here, Eldest Senior Brother, you’re not going to back out, are you?”

“Give me a moment to think.”

“Don’t think too much, we’re short on time.”

“…Sigh, Qingning, you’ve learned some bad things.”

“Have I?”

After blinking innocently, Qingning gently touched the spiritual ring on her finger and then tossed an item to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at the spiritual shovel in his hands, his face full of question marks.

“Senior Brother, you start digging. I’ll be right back. Don’t worry, I have the Soul-Ensnaring Bell bestowed by our master. It’ll be very quick!”

After leaving these words, Qingning ran towards Lingshan Town.

Not long after she left, Jiang Chen looked at the spiritual shovel in his hands and then at the soil beneath him and instantly made a connection!

“…”

Only half an hour later, Qingning returned humming a tune, and in her seemingly delicate right hand, she was dragging a person!

Jiang Chen took a closer look and recognized the person as the Ancient Pill Tower disciple whose palm he had severed during the day.

At this moment, Li Si was battered and bruised, with a vacant look in his eyes and his aura in disarray.

Jiang Chen knew at a glance that this was clearly the effect of the Soul-Ensnaring Bell, which had caused him to lose his mind and destroy his cultivation!

Not being particularly talented and not very strong in combat, Qingning was given the Soul-Ensnaring Bell by Xiao Hongyi because she was worried about encountering danger outside.

Although the bell was of high quality, it was a mental attack, and ordinary Core Formation cultivators without spiritual consciousness would find it difficult to resist.

“Senior Brother, haven’t you started digging yet? No worries, Qingning will dig. You just watch,” Qingning said, still smiling after her arrival.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded, watching as she dug a hole, kicked Li Si into it, and then began to fill the hole with one shovel after another.

During this, she seemed to be in a very good mood, humming a tune while occasionally telling Jiang Chen some interesting stories and laughing happily on her own.

After a few moments, a new grave was erected.

Jiang Chen was completely numb. At this moment, he was certain, absolutely certain!

His Third Junior Sister, the universally acknowledged ‘beautiful and kind-hearted’ Qingning of the Ninth Peak and the entire Jiuyan Sect was definitely mad!

And her level of madness might even surpass that of Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai!

“Qingning, why bury him? Wouldn’t it be easier to just kill him?” the puzzled Jiang Chen asked after coming to his senses.

“How could that be?”

Qingning patted her handiwork and smiled sweetly, “Letting them die alone and slowly in the dark, powerless to struggle, and savoring the feeling of despair, that’s the best punishment for them!”

“…”

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched, and alarm bells rang in his head.
