Xu Xiaoyue stared at everything in front of her, her eyes totally red. Suddenly, she charged over, grabbed a nearby chair, then flung it towards Yang Qian! Then, she picked up the clothes on the ground and covered Ye Ming’s body with them, her voice choked with emotion as she said, “Let’s go!”

Ye Ming’s entire face was dreadfully pale, his lips quivering, “Xiaoyue…”

Why… why did his little sister have to see this scene…

Xu Xiaoyue looked at Ye Ming with red eyes, as she held onto his wrist, tears glistening in her eyes, “Ge, let’s leave this place!” xwy1lk

Yang Qian leaned aside and dodged the chair Xu Xiaoyue had chucked his way, his expression sinking at once, and he spoke up in a cold voice, “Who gave you guys permission to leave?”

His subordinate standing at the doorway finally regained his senses, and trembled with fright. He dashed over, grabbed Xu Xiaoyue, then said to Yang Qian, “Sorry, I’m sorry, Boss. She said she made an appointment with you… that’s why I…”

He looked at Xu Xiaoyue with a gleam of sinister resentment in his eyes. This woman actually dared to make a fool out of him, and dared to make a move against the boss. Later, he absolutely had to make her understand what a fate worse than death was really like! What world did she think she was in right now? Did she really think that they wouldn’t dare to touch her?

Ye Ming dropped to the ground. He was wrapped in a coat that just barely concealed his body, but his straight, slender, and long legs were still exposed outside, covered in the traces from their earlier affair. The chain clattered as he fell, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.

He paused for about a second, then crawled towards Yang Qian, and pleaded, “I’m sorry, Xiaoyue didn’t mean to, don’t blame her, I’m begging you…”

Xu Xiaoyue had been restrained by that man, and was desperately struggling. Seeing Ye Ming kneeling on the ground for her and pleading with Yang Qian, her eyes filled with unparalleled fury and agony, and she shouted loudly, “Don’t beg him! You mustn’t beg him! Ge, don’t worry about me!”

She didn’t want her big brother to pay such a high price on her behalf… she didn’t want this…

Ye Ming turned back, and looked at Xu Xiaoyue’s tearstained face, a look of sorrow appearing in his eyes. It’d still been discovered in the end… cT6dbt

He knew that in this base, Xu Xiaoyue was probably going to catch wind of it sooner or later, but he kept on lying to himself, thinking that he would just fool her for as long as he could, that he would just hide it from her for as long as he could… as long as Xu Xiaoyue didn’t see their relationship with her own eyes, as long as he didn’t expose any signs, he’d still be able to hide it from her for just a while longer.

Yang Qian looked down at Ye Ming, then took a look at Xu Xiaoyue, looking into Xu Xiaoyue’s eyes that were full of resentment. Suddenly, the corners of his lips lifted and he chuckled. iQTC 4

“So, you still found out,” Yang Qian said indifferently, not seeming especially angry or surprised. He only calmly watched Xu Xiaoyue as though she was an ant that wouldn’t be able to shake him in the slightest, even if she fought tooth and nail.

Xu Xiaoyue thought of the words Ye Ming had said when he was lying to her before, and thought of how Yang Qian had put on a show. While she still hadn’t known anything, how many grievances and humiliating things had her big brother suffered through in exchange for her current freedom? And she hadn’t known a single thing…

Instead, she’d been complacently rejoicing over her own luck. Ridiculous… where was there any luck.

Xu Xiaoyue looked at Yang Qian resentfully, the rims of her eyes red, and interrogated, “Why are you doing this? How has gege let you down, he trusted you so much… is this how you’re going to treat him? I was wrong about you!” xAaXw9

Yang Qian seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke, and his profound gaze fell upon Ye Ming, an upward quirk at the corner of his lips, “How he’s let me down? Why don’t you go ahead and ask him that question?”

Ye Ming’s gaze was sorrowful. What was the point of talking about these things right now?

He slowly turned his head. His eyes seemed to have a deep helplessness towards this world in them, and he said to Xu Xiaoyue in a low voice, “I’m the one who let him down, just leave it.” He shook his head at Xu Xiaoyue, motioning for her to not go against Yang Qian anymore.

Xu Xiaoyue looked at Ye Ming’s helpless and mournful appearance, not believing for a second that Ye Ming would let Yang Qian down. He clearly still cared a lot about Yang Qian! And she already knew before the apocalypse just how much her big brother liked Yang Qian! Yang Qian must have been the one who’d coerced her brother and hurt him, so now her brother didn’t dare to tell the truth. oYcf6e

She knew that the apocalypse had changed many people, but she hadn’t imagined that even Yang Qian would change. They clearly had such a good relationship before, they clearly used to be like family before…

Xu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, then said, “I don’t believe it!”

Ye Ming saw Xu Xiaoyue’s stubborn appearance, then took a look at Yang Qian’s increasingly cold gaze. He incessantly worried on the inside as he held onto Yang Qian’s arm and anxiously pleaded, “Don’t mind her, just let her go, okay, it’s all my fault, it’s enough for you to retaliate against me… she, she doesn’t mean it, don’t, don’t quarrel with her.”

Yang Qian actually wasn’t planning to do anything to Xu Xiaoyue at all, like a lion disdainful of a sheep baring its teeth at him. And this matter with Xu Xiayue breaking in, clearly hurt Ye Ming much more… from the very start, he’d never cared whether or not this lie would be exposed. Acting along with Ye Ming before was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. MapBob

Besides, Xu Xiaoyue was an important tool for him to suppress Ye Ming with.

But at this moment, watching Ye Ming lower himself to such a state to beg him on Xu Xiaoyue’s behalf, an unsurpassable envy suddenly arose in his heart.

Yang Qian couldn’t help but think back to two years ago.

Two years ago, he was also this weak and small, and had recklessly rushed in front of Huo Yi, all in order to save his most beloved person… vf1o8V

He was so desperate and powerless at that time, almost like Xu Xiaoyue at this moment. In order to protect him, Ye Ming had also rushed out bravely, and stood in front of Huo Yi to shield him.

At that moment, he’d felt as though even if they’d died together just like that, he wouldn’t have any regrets.

Yang Qian closed his eyes. At that time, he’d thought that their love was just that sincere and touching. But no matter how touching the feelings, they still couldn’t overcome reality after all… today, he was standing here, replacing Huo Yi’s position back then, while he’d also become someone just like Huo Yi.

So, Ye Ming was right. The current person he was right now was no different from Huo Yi. But, what of it, only the people who discarded their bottom lines could survive in this world. 1x3Kl9

Kindness and virtue were nothing more than burdens.

The corner of Yang Qian’s lips was raised in a self-mocking arc, and he yanked the chain to drag Ye Ming into his arms, and hugged him as he chuckled into his ear, “Truly touching, but I just so happen to like it when you’re like this.”

Although Yang Qian was saying these kinds of words, Ye Ming saw that his eyes were frosty without the slightest bit of warmth, and felt cold all over.

Yang Qian kissed Ye Ming on the lips right in front of Xu Xiaoyue, imprisoning him in his arms. He treated Ye Ming like one of his pets, frivolously and wantonly kissing him until he was panting with tears in his eyes, before he lifted his chin, looked into his eyes, then teasingly said, “It’s not that I can’t let her go. But this time, what are you willing to pay for her?” iWfdN

Xu Xiaoyue was randomly kicking about, and yelled angrily, “Let go of my brother, you bastard! Beast!”

Ye Ming didn’t dare to look at Xu Xiaoyue. He knew that he looked extremely depraved and unsightly right now. He was afraid that if he looked at Xu Xiaoyue, he wouldn’t be able to hold on anymore and would just give up. He leaned into Yang Qian’s embrace, his voice hoarse and wooden, “Anything is okay.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“What a good brother.” Yang Qian looked at him meaningfully. After a pause, he raised an eyebrow and began to laugh, before he said with a contemptuous tone, “But I’ve suddenly remembered that you’re my slave to begin with, and your life is already mine, so what do you even have left to exchange? It can’t be that you want to sell yourself a second time, right? Do you think you’re that valuable?”

A look of despair surfaced in Ye Ming’s eyes. Was Yang Qian making fun of him just now, then? hUDcg2

Xu Xiaoyue watched all of this helplessly, anger filling her chest as she gnashed her teeth with hatred. She looked at Ye Ming sorrowfully, “Ge, I don’t need you to pay anything for me. Don’t listen to him! He’s lying to you!”

Yang Qian looked down at Ye Ming’s look of despair and panic, then looked back at the furious Xu Xiaoyue, and suddenly gave a light chuckle, “So noisy.”

That subordinate asked very cautiously, “Then shall I take her away?”

Yang Qian nodded, then said casually, “Drive her out ba, but don’t act on your own. Understand?” B4QJwo

That subordinate froze for a bit, thinking how Yang Qian was unexpectedly not planning to do anything despite such an affront. He only wanted to kick this woman out, and that was it? He couldn’t have gotten himself mixed up in the love-hate affairs between Boss Yang and his slave’s family, ba?

Although Boss Yang seemed to disdain this woman, he obviously wasn’t permitting others to lay a hand on her either. This was Ye Ming’s biological younger sister after all. He hadn’t imagined that the boss really did treat this slave differently… the subordinate immediately put away any ideas he shouldn’t have. This woman wasn’t someone he could touch.

“Yes, I’ll get her out of here right now!” The subordinate immediately tugged Xu Xiaoyue out the door, then attentively shut the door again for Yang Qian.

Xu Xiaoyue scolded him as she struggled, but unfortunately, it was of no use at all. She could only helplessly watch as that door was closed again right in front of her. The last scene she saw was her brother being tossed onto the bed by Yang Qian… 94JVSm

Tears rolled down Xu Xiaoyue’s face, and she struggled the entire way, before she was finally thrown outside the gates of the villa. As soon as she was free, she attempted to rush back in again, but she was mercilessly stopped. The guard coldly warned her, “Scram.”

Xu Xiaoyue looked at the gates that were tightly shut, her eyes bulging from extreme rage. Just inside, her own big brother was currently suffering from that kind of humiliation and torment, while she was powerless to do anything…

So what if she knew the truth? Wasn’t she still unable to do a single thing?

She couldn’t do a single thing. vx3Ec1


The translator has something to say:

YQ: i remember when XXF shielded me in front of Huo Yi
Readers: I remember Ye Ming screaming bloody murder for his experience points!!!!!!!!
Grunt A who was there this entire time, sipping on the hottest tea in the apocalypse: (・ε・` )

  1. I am as calm as the rain

    All for what Ye Ming justice

    YOU KNOW WHAT I GIVE UP

    WHERE IS HUO YIII..DID HE..DID HE GET LOST AND BECOMING A WONDERER..

    MY HEART CAN’T GO ON…I NEED THE GONG ABUSED…

    YANG QIAN HAS GONE TOO FAR.TOO FAR I TELL YA… *throwing both hands into the air * Just he wait for his own rebutation to come

    Btw thank you for the update!!!

    Hope u have a nice years and days to come

  2. AHHHH!!!! This is SOOO annoying!!! It could all be easily solved if they just talked!! This is why communication is key!!! Though I suppose most of the problem came from Yang Qian’s brain hole. Also the inability to think in the other person’s position. I mean just because he wanted both of them to die, doesn’t mean that Ye Ming (Not Cheap Ming our Protag) also wanted that.

    • honestly i also dont find it much romantic when someone’s like “yay, i’d be happy if we could die together”… like okay? glad you’re happy that the person you love is gonna die but since you’re also theoretically gonna die then whatevs? how does that logic work. only cute when there’s literally no other choice and they choose to accompany you in a dramatic xianxia novel, not you being like ahhh!!! huo yi!!!! take my fist!

  3. HUO YI AH! I THOUGHT YOU’RE MAKING YOUR GRAND APPEARANCE IN THIS CHAPTER. HUO YI HOW MUCH I WAIT FOR YOU. I NEVER WAITED FOR ANYONE THIS DESPERATELY BEFORE!

    Thanks for the chapter <3

    • ahem, in the words of the esteemed author-dada’s note at the very end of this chapter~

      the author has something to say: sorry! finally made it to writing about the assistant’s arrival

      thanks for reading!! <3

      P.S. this one’s a long one at 9k characters so it’s another 3-parter rip srry guys a certain assistant will indeed be making an appearance though, fret not ฅ•ω•ฅ

  4. Yeah… I also don’t get that part about being happy to die together… I would want my partner to live at least! Now if we are surrounded by a zombie horde with absolutely no rescue in sight and they were steps away from us, I might be ok with dying together with them, but who says they are “happy to die together”?

    • ^^^ exactly! in this case it’s just him getting mad bc Huo Yi said some stuff so he’s trying to brawl with an ability-user as a non-ability user… the sentiment is nice but in this case even if he’d lost that didn’t necessarily mean his beloved Xu Xiaofei had to die with him? clearly Huo Yi wanted to keep him around… i mean, arguably that’s a life worse than death but there could’ve been a chance for him to run away… tsk tsk

  5. Before: ai…this slag shou deserve since he do this and that…

    Now: come on…abuse the gong ah

    • so much this lol… haven’t been so excited for someone to see the repercussions of them jumping to conclusions. cant believe Ye Ming-gege genuinely tried to save him before he left and just yelled a bunch of stuff so he’d stop being so hell-bent on saving him… compared to the treatment some of the other MLs in other worlds got this was basically 5 star treatment LOL

  6. Comment- Sup, anyone here watched Over The Moon already? How about singing this:

    Long ago, an ancient story.

    Beautiful and kind Ye Ming,

    And a handsome man named Huo Yi,

    Both made Yang Qian crazy.

    And the lovel-less Xu Xiaoyue,

    Became the little helping tool,

    Now Ye Ming the slave is cemented,

    With Yang Qian bathing in Love and War.

    LOONNGGGIINNNGGG, HOOOOPPPIINNNGG,

    FOR OUR DEAR HUO YI-!!!

    Ye Ming waits for him,

    For the Scummm – Abbuuussseeee—!!!!!

    (End)

  7. Really he saved you twice

    You abuse him like he owe you 10 lifes

    I need Ye Ming to get an ability and leave him for good for a while .
