Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 156: Chapter 118: Seeing Cen Yueyue Again【4K】_2

"Don’t get distracted, hold him down, and if it really doesn’t work out, knock him out!"

"Cousin sister, I... I mean, somebody else came in."

"You’re afraid of nothing at Qi Refinement, ignore him and keep pressing down."

The woman simply gave orders with a cold face, the candlelight still radiated residual warmth, illuminating the entire temple.

"Oh."

A very honest young man still nodded his head, chose to ignore Jiang Feng who barged in, and continued to forcefully hold down the old man’s hands and feet.

"..."

Cen Yueyue was right, but this was the first time Mr. Jiang felt he was being wildly humiliated. Am I that trash?

Another gulp was poured down.

Visibly, the old man’s violent movements began to slow down, but his strength remained quite frightening, causing Cen Zhuangzhuang to sweat profusely. This was the consequence of the brain losing its restriction.

Normally, the body would limit the strength to within the range it can endure for self-protection, but this phenomenon could be broken in certain extreme environments, such as facing a crisis, where people would usually erupt with several times the strength and physical ability.

Under the control of the Gu Worm, ordinary people could unleash strength several times beyond their own physique, but Cen Zhuangzhuang was not incapable of overpowering it; with his ability, he could simply slap this old thing to death.

The problem is he wasn’t here to kill people, he was here to save them.

He was genuinely afraid that if he applied too much force, he would directly break this old fellow’s bones.

"Ugh—"

Without any warning, the old man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Luckily, Cen Yueyue quickly dodged, as the blood spewed onto the ground, nearly causing Jiang Feng to jump on the spot!

"Enchantress! You dare commit violence, take my sword..."

"Wait, Brother Jiang, we are, we’re saving someone, don’t do anything, really, I, I, I never lie!"

Stammering speech in the language of the Central Plains finally came in handy at this moment.

With palm thunder pinched in his left hand behind his back, and a longsword in his right, the young man’s expression showed a moment of hesitation, because he noticed the old man’s vomited blood was not fresh red or dark red, but pink—this was the strange Gu Poison.

It seemed that this pair of siblings was trying to force the Gu Poison out of the villagers’ bodies.

But the young man’s longsword was not lowered; instead, he was filled with vigilance.

"Put him down first!"

"Heh."

She let out a disdainful laugh and couldn’t be bothered to spare Jiang Feng a glance.

For a moment, the young man felt a bit awkward. He knew it was probably because he had offended this woman before, but wasn’t this holding a grudge a bit too much? Could you show me some respect?

"If you don’t let him go now, I’ll treat you as the murderer! Don’t force me to take action! Even I am afraid when I get angry!"

This sentence seemed to have some effect.

Finally, Cen Yueyue turned her head around.

The very classic Southern Border outfit had been completely taken off, replaced by a plain and simple dress, with three magic treasure hairpins firmly holding the black hair on top of her head, red lips and white teeth, with a little rouge applied.

She was dressed just like a Central Plains woman.

Just looking at her appearance, anyone would find it hard to believe this was the little princess from the Southern Border; compared to her previous outfit, she had a different charm. However, this pretty girl simply stood up slowly.

"Yes, I am the murderer."

She admitted it frankly.

And then what?

Me, just at Qi Refinement, threatening someone at the Core Formation Stage, with a Foundation Establishment Peak enforcer at my side, what could I do to them?

Just seeing the pink Gu Worm spit out by the patient, he knew this was definitely a treatment, and much more effective than his own high-temperature roasting method, at least it wouldn’t truly hurt someone.

Moreover...

Even if these siblings were really murderers, Jiang had no choice but to run away.

"I think that you are probably not, there must be a misunderstanding."

Mr. Jiang’s adaptability had once again been put to the test.

"No, I’ve been causing chaos in Fengzhou for the past few months, burning, killing, and looting, sparing no one. After all, I’m such a scoundrel, aren’t I."

Admitting to his crimes with an indifferent face, but beneath that nonchalance lay mockery and a barely perceptible bitterness.

Why is it that every time he does a good deed, this kid happens to witness it and also misunderstand it?

The last two words made Jiang Feng involuntarily step backwards, his head drenched in sweat, just as a cold wind outside the temple happened to pass, causing the already dim candlelight to flicker, nearly extinguishing.

"If you don’t catch me and bring me to justice, there won’t be a single survivor in this temple."

The venomous woman let out a cold laugh!

Although every time he encountered Cen Yueyue, it happened to be when she was administering medicine to others, it seemed there was always some misunderstanding. He isn’t stupid; he stole a glance at the barefoot doctor lying on the ground nearby and noticed that he had vomited a few pink Gu Worms as well.

But... he still had to go through the motions.

"Can’t you show me some respect, and at least offer up a couple of excuses?"

The young man holding the longsword asked weakly.

"I can’t. I did it!"

Flicking her hair, she didn’t even glance at Jiang Feng, and noticing that the doctor started vomiting again, she took the initiative to step forward, pulling out a dark talisman paper from her Qiankun Bag, poured some water into a bowl, and then crushed the talisman paper, scattering it into the bowl.

She gave her cousin a nod, and the seemingly honest and simple boy immediately stepped forward to restrain the barefoot doctor, preventing him from moving. Afterward, the malicious Southern Border woman followed suit, squatting down and prying open the man’s mouth.

It was also at this time that he noticed the man’s eyes still had a tinge of scarlet, indicating that the Gu Worms had not been completely expelled from his body.

"Young Master Jiang, no, Brother Jiang, it’s only been a few days, but I see your cultivation has improved and you’ve learned some trickery, no wonder you’re so confident. However, this time why didn’t Yu Ying send someone to protect you when you left home?"

While treating the patient, she spoke in a sarcastic tone, causing Mr. Jiang to alternate between shades of red and white.

Since he confirmed she was actually saving someone, Jiang Feng swiftly ran out of the dilapidated temple to get Lao Yang down from where he was hanging on a branch and retrieved the bundle of belongings. This bundle contained the lifeblood of the people of Yi Village.

After forcing a few more vomits to ensure the Gu Worms were mostly expelled, Cen Yueyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curling into a faint smile, subtly revealing that she’s indeed a kind-hearted girl.

But upon turning around, she saw Jiang Feng carrying a big and small package walking in.

"You... you really are despicable."

Staring dumbfounded at the bundle thrown on the ground, she could guess what was inside; not to mention acquiring such ill-gotten wealth, she had even encountered a few sneaking back to pry open doors these past few days and had intervened to teach them a lesson.

But she never imagined Jiang Feng, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would exhibit such behavior.

"What are you thinking about? It all belongs to the villagers. Otherwise, when these old men and women wake up, they would definitely come looking through these things themselves, believe it or not?"

Rolling her eyes.

Jiang Feng and Cen Yueyue seem to clash every time they meet, but the young man still put down Lao Yang and the packages. The young girl was sensible enough not to argue while treating the patients and came forward to place her hand on Lao Yang’s head.

But...

"Hmm? He has no Gu Worms in his body, but judging by the wound, he seems to have been bitten by a patient. You’re quite clever, but this could easily have been fatal."

Although she still remembered the description of "scoundrel," she wouldn’t skimp on her praise if the other party had done well.

Judging by the charred marks around the wound, it seemed that Jiang Feng had used flames to force the wound to heal, driving the heat of the flames into the patient’s body to burn all the Gu Worms to death.

However, this method was too brutal, and it was lucky that Lao Yang was a Darts Master who had practiced martial arts since he was young; otherwise, had it been someone else, they probably would’ve lost their life after such rough treatment.

"I had no choice, I was fighting that monster and suddenly it started screaming, then it came at me as if it had gone mad."

Upon hearing this, the girl was stunned for a moment; she had also heard the howling from the distant village but had rushed to save people and did not go there, looking rather unpleasant. This made Jiang Feng even more certain of his thoughts.

Hence, Jiang Feng spoke up.

"Miss Cen, Yu Ying has mentioned you and your family to me, and I’m inclined to believe in your character, but please answer me honestly, do you have anything to do with these Gu Worms."

He stared straight into the girl’s eyes.

She could tell that the young man was serious in his questioning, and if she didn’t provide a satisfactory answer, they might really turn on each other.

Cen Yueyue wasn’t afraid of a fight, but she had inherited her father’s temperament, and she was indeed in the wrong on this matter, so she just spit out one word.

"Yes."
