How To Survive as a Villain

Chapter 189: You Were Capable Of Domestic Violence, So Why Aren’t You Capable Of Opening The Door?

After they found the forbidden area, Xiao YuAn stood in place for a long time, unable to speak.

The forbidden area was located on the hillside where the Altar of Heaven used to be. This place was renovated into a small house with a courtyard surrounded by a fence, where mulberry and hemp were planted. There was also a small pond, and inside the pond, the leaves of the lotus plants had withered due to the cold winter. In the summer, it must make a beautiful scene of endless blue, with a small fish shaking its head and tail under the floating leaves.

That small house was exactly the same as the one where Xiao YuAn lived in Taoyuan Village.

Tian Xiang whispered: “For fear of disturbing the peace of this place, His Majesty only arranged the Imperial Bodyguards to patrol nearby, but they aren’t allowed to be here.”

Xiao YuAn expressed a hollow sound, but when he felt that his voice was choking up a bit, he hurriedly lowered his head to calm his heart. Then he went forward and pushed open the door of the house. Tian Xiang hastily pulled him back: “Xiao Jun Wang! No one can enter here except for His Majesty! We’d better not go inside. Let’s just take a look from outside. If His Majesty finds out, we’ll be sentenced to death!”

Xiao YuAn patted Tian Xiang’s hand to appease her: “It’s alright, Tian Xiang, trust me. If you don’t want to go in, just wait for me outside. I’ll go in and have a look.”

Tian Xiang didn’t stop Xiao YuAn this time, simply watched him push open the door and walk into the small room. The only thing she could do was twist her sleeves with worry, as she stood outside.

The furnishings inside the house were, indeed, exactly the same as the wing room inside the mansion where Xiao YuAn lived in Taoyuan Village. The only difference was that there was a tomb in the center of the room. In front of the tomb were offerings, copper coins, paper money and a small incense burner. There were three incense sticks placed in the small incense burner, and the smell was so clear, that it seemed like a dream. When Xiao YuAn approached the tomb, he saw a jade flute hanging on the tombstone, the same one he had gifted Yan HeQing. When he looked at the tombstone, unexpectedly, Xiao YuAn and Yan HeQing’s names were engraved on it!

It was as if someone had heavily punched Xiao YuAn in the chest, making his heart feel stuffy and sour. Xiao YuAn’s eyes were red as he squatted down in front of the tombstone, carefully tracing Yan HeQing’s name with his finger over and over again, whispering: “I’m sorry, I made you wait again…..”

It took Xiao YuAn a long time to stabilize his emotions. As he stood up, he couldn’t help but mutter: “How does this count? This burial can’t be considered as my own, right?”

Xiao YuAn muttered for a while, until his eyes locked on the jade flute hanging on the tombstone. The red tassel of the jade flute had long turned into a dark red, showing how old it was. After Xiao YuAn reached out for the jade flute, he gently rubbed it with his fingertips with a touch of nostalgia.

The jade flute was the only relic in the room, after all, it was the only thing he had left behind for Yan HeQing. The scene of Yan HeQing teaching him how to play it suddenly flashed through his mind, making Xiao YuAn feel slightly moved as he put the jade flute on his lips.

Suddenly, a loud angry roar came from behind him: “Put that down immediately!!”

Xiao YuAn was so frightened that he involuntarily trembled. Without being able to hold it steady, the jade flute slipped from his hand and heavily hit the ground!

With a clear and crisp sound, the jade flute smashed against the ground, breaking in half and miserably rolling on the ground several times.

For a moment, the whole world seemed submerged in silence.

Yan HeQing’s eyes overflowed with disbelief at first, as he stared blankly at the two broken pieces of the jade flute on the ground. As he staggered forward to pick it up, he frantically tried to put the jade flute back together. However, it didn’t matter how many times he tried, the moment the two pieces were connected, they could only pitifully break again.

Yan HeQing’s hands were slightly trembling.

He had once searched all over the land under the vast sky, but he couldn’t find any news of that man. He didn’t know what brought that person to his side, but he also didn’t know what took him away. Yan HeQing blamed himself day after day, asking himself; ‘Why was I unable to protect Xiao YuAn that time?‘ Questioning himself every night; ‘Why did Xiao YuAn commit suicide in the first place?‘

He was tormented day and night, and yet, he couldn’t get an answer.

Even now, the things that he left behind were so easily destroyed. Yan HeQing couldn’t even protect a jade flute. He couldn’t even protect this thing properly!!

Xiao YuAn was stiff, but he reacted extremely fast. He stepped forward and squatted in front of Yan HeQing, who was still trying to put together the jade flute, and held his wrist. Then, he spoke quickly and clearly: “Yan HeQing, look at me, I’m-….”

However, before he could finish what he wanted to say, Yan HeQing suddenly raised his bloodshot eyes, grabbed Xiao YuAn’s throat, and heavily slammed him against the wall.
