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

Chapter 5

Jiang Lianyue wanted to tell herself.

All of this was an illusion. The Eldest Senior Brother in her memory wasn’t this affectionate nor this pitiable.

But as the scenes continued to shift, she found herself irresistibly drawn in.

It seemed to be her life and also Jiang Chen’s life.

Jiang Lianyue just watched quietly, no longer screaming nor no longer indignant.

All she could do was to cry with Jiang Chen when he was in pain, sit by his side when he was in despair, and furiously berate those who misunderstood him as heartless and ungrateful!

This included herself.

One day, a youth with an ordinary appearance but destined for great fortune named Lin Feng joined the Jiuyan Sect.

He was not as handsome as Jiang Chen, yet he managed to attract everyone’s attention.

He did many bad things, yet it seemed as if the heavens looked after him, turning his misdeeds into blessings.

For instance, Jiang Chen went through great hardships to find a white jade cold bed for her.

This bed was mystical. Sleeping on it could completely suppress the cold poison in one’s body and even transform the poison into power over the years.

However, when he brought out this bed, he was mocked by Lin Feng. This was because the cold poison in Jiang Lianyue’s body had just been resolved by Lin Feng using a precious treasure, which had an even better effect. And this treasure was the accompanying Cold Jade of the Cold Bed.

Both were originally located together. The cold bed was there when Jiang Chen found them, but the cold jade was hidden. Lin Feng followed and the cold jade revealed itself to him.

It’s unreasonable, but that’s what destiny is! Lin Feng’s following from the beginning was with the intention of reaping the benefits! Such situations are common.

Although always mocked and faced down by Lin Feng, Jiang Chen never gave up and continued steadfastly. To others, this might seem like the behavior of a sore loser, but Jiang Lianyue is very clear that this is not the case.

Because Jiang Chen was like this not only with her but also with other Junior Brothers, Junior Sisters, and fellow sect members. Jiang Chen, her Eldest Senior Brother, had always just wanted to take care of his Junior Brothers and Sisters.

But all of this, under the influence of Lin Feng and various coincidences, was labeled as ‘sycophantic’, ‘jealous’, ‘lusting after beauty’, ‘villain’, and other such tags.

How unfair is heaven?

The most ironic thing was that Jiang Lianyue, who understood everything and despised Lin Feng, saw her own self in the vision getting closer and closer to him.

More than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. By this time, Jiang Chen was abandoned by everyone, and his reputation was in ruins.

Not only was he expelled from the Jiuyan Sect, but even the Jiang family was destroyed.

Alone with his sword, he sought a duel with Lin Feng, determined to fight to the death.

He knew he was no match for Lin Feng, but he still went resolutely.

Everyone witnessed that battle.

Jiang Chen was going crazy with anger! With every sword strike, he carried a heart full of resentment! And with every strike, he was filled with despair!

Before dying, he looked at Lin Feng, his voice filled with sorrow: “Spare them…”

Jiang Chen pleaded, but not for himself. Who exactly were the “them” he referred to?

Jiang Lianyue did not understand.

It wasn’t until a hundred years after Jiang Chen’s death that Lin Feng still couldn’t ascend to immortality.

As he raised his butcher’s knife toward her, she finally understood…

It turned out that Lin Feng cultivated the Heartless Blade.

One must be heartless to ascend, and he must kill a woman to prove his dao!

Jiang Lianyue finally laughed after watching herself being killed by Lin Feng’s blade in the scene with a look of horror and shock.

She laughed out loud for the first time in over a hundred years.

“Haha, serves me right! That’s a good death!”

Having observed the images for a century, she had wanted more than once to kill herself! Because she truly deserved to die!

The space twisted, and darkness engulfed everything around.

“Is it over?”

Jiang Lianyue murmured and let out a long sigh.

She still didn’t understand what these scenes meant, but she really didn’t want to watch them any longer.

She couldn’t bear to see her Eldest Senior Brother suffer for her anymore, nor did she want to see that detestable version of herself.

But things didn’t go as she wished.

A ray of light appeared, growing increasingly dazzling, like the scorching sun. It instantly dispelled the darkness.

What came into view was still the Jiuyan Sect.

Golden lines emerged, converging once again to form three large characters:

【Second Life】

“No, let me go! I don’t want to watch anymore! What are you trying to tell me?!”

Jiang Lianyue covered her head while shaking it frantically.

For a hundred years, she stood by as an observer, feeling pain for Jiang Chen and blaming herself for her own foolishness.

For a hundred years, these negative emotions tormented her incessantly with no outlet for release.

Another hundred years, and she feared she would go mad!

【You experienced a little over a hundred years in one life, while he has endured nearly a thousand years across nine lives】

This sentence appeared directly in Jiang Lianyue’s mind.

“A hundred years? A thousand years? One life, nine lives?”

Jiang Lianyue suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

She thought of something, yet couldn’t believe it!

“I need to find Eldest Senior Brother!”

This time, she actively sought out where Jiang Chen was without waiting for the scene to change.

After much effort, she finally found him at the back mountain of Jiuyan Sect, wearing white robes, his smile still the same.

“Learn from the past. Today is the day Junior Sister Lianyue joins the sect and her cold poison will flare up in half a month. This time, I must go ahead of time to avoid running into her bathing again. That feeling of watching them die in the dark… not again.”

Leaning against an ancient tree, Jiang Chen murmured to himself.

“!!!”

Hearing this, Jiang Lianyue nearly collapsed.

She finally understood.

This was not an illusion but reality!

Her Eldest Senior Brother had endured the torment of a thousand years over nine lives and misunderstandings, all to protect his Junior Brother and Junior Sister, to save her life!

Just as she had thought.

The scene changed again, and another hundred years unfolded.

In this life, Jiang Chen learned from the lessons of the past life, trying to change the fate of everyone by going earlier to reduce misunderstandings and other issues.

But…

After a hundred years, the situation remained the same.

A single ‘Spare them’ made Jiang Lianyue burst into tears again!

【Third life】

【Fourth Life】

【Fifth Life】

【Sixth…】

All the way to the Ninth Life!

During this time, Jiang Chen grew accustomed to being misunderstood, no longer bothering to argue when questioned.

He grew used to others’ disdain, merely smiling indifferently when faced with their scornful glares.

He grew used to his own fate, and even if he failed again, he would only show a bitter expression.

But there was one thing that never changed.

At the moment of his death, despite being covered in wounds and filled with resentment and anger, he would still say…

“Spare them…”

【Tenth Life】

It was still the Jiuyan Sect, still in the back mountains.

Jiang Lianyue found Jiang Chen.

After nearly a thousand years, she didn’t know how many times she had cried and how many times she had broken down.

“Eldest Senior Brother, let me die! Let us die! Please, we don’t deserve this, we really don’t!”

Kneeling before Jiang Chen, Jiang Lianyue had cried herself into a tearful mess.

She had enough.

Enough of this sky (heaven), enough of this earth! Enough of this world! This world was full of malice towards her Eldest Senior Brother!

Why?! Why should her Eldest Senior Brother suffer all this hardship while that despicable Lin Feng could roam freely between heaven and earth?

Could all this be because Lin Feng was the Son of Destiny? The protagonist of this world?!! The most hateful was herself.

Even if Lin Feng was protected by fortune, even if he was the Son of Destiny! It was true that the one who hurt Jiang Chen the most was her! She was blind!

“…I’m tired.”

The low murmur of Jiang Chen stopped Jiang Lianyue’s crying abruptly.

Jiang Lianyue slowly lifted her head, only to see her Eldest Senior Brother smiling madly.

“Let them die! Since everyone thinks I’m the villain, then I’ll just be one! After all, it’s Heaven’s Will!”

Only then did she realize.

Jiang Chen, who had always been dressed in white, had now donned black clothes.
