The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 296 - 294: Don’t Push Me Away, You Can’t Hate Me

Chapter 296: Chapter 294: Don’t Push Me Away, You Can’t Hate Me

Bai Qi had originally targeted Qin Zhao, intending to lure her into slaughtering the Bo People. However, he hadn’t expected Qin Zhao to be more formidable than himself, so he shifted his focus to Chu Yan.

Moreover, after observing for several days, Bai Qi found that Chu Yan’s darker side was terrifying. Luring him into a killing spree was easier than seducing Qin Zhao.

Thus, he trapped Qin Zhao and lured Chu Yan back to the village.

"I didn’t expect you to break free from my illusion technique. Since that’s the case, leave your life behind!"

Bai Qi crafted a vast illusion, turning the human-skinned puppets into the most important people in their lives, leading them to indulge in the illusion.

In the illusion Chu Yan fell into, Qin Zhao was dressed in ancient clothes, her ink-black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, her eyes seductively gazing at him, tinged with a hint of shimmering watery light.

Such a version of Qin Zhao could make him lose his soul in an instant.

"Zhaozhao."

And the surrounding scene was no longer a forest but an ancient and classical room.

As he approached, the Qin Zhao in the room stepped back in fear, "You... don’t come closer." Her eyes filled with struggle and a plea for mercy.

This vision of her always appeared in his dreams.

Chu Yan never understood why Qin Zhao always appeared like this in his dreams. Every time he tried to do something, he would awaken from the dream.

His gaze darkened, and he continued walking toward Qin Zhao.

"Don’t hide from me," Chu Yan frowned and held her hand that was pushing him away.

Seeing disgust in Qin Zhao’s eyes hurt him deeply, almost driving him mad.

Why should she dislike him?

No! She couldn’t dislike him!

"Qin Zhao, don’t push me away."

He cornered her against the wall like a madman, longing to lean down and kiss her. In the moment he was immersed in the illusion, a sinister red light flashed in the eyes of the woman in his arms.

Her fingers turned into claws, aimed at his heart.

"Chu Yan! Why are you nibbling on a tree?!"

A voice like thunder rang in his ears.

It was Qin Zhao’s voice!

Chu Yan instantly snapped out of it, his eyes darkly seizing the woman’s lethal claws.

"Human-skinned puppet?"

He let out a soft laugh, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, "Very good, such an impressive illusion technique."

The environment before him vanished, and a bizarre puppet doll appeared in front of him.

The moment he opened his eyes, the puppet doll turned into ashes. A crimson fierceness flashed in his eyes, his body enveloped in an extremely low and dangerous pressure, and a strange, terrifying power brewed within him.

Until, he turned his gaze and saw the real Qin Zhao.

The power within him suddenly retracted.

Chu Yan hesitantly stared at Qin Zhao and after a long while, he stepped forward and embraced her. He touched her chest briefly, feeling her heartbeat, before he finally relaxed.

He was truly scared of being deceived.

Qin Zhao felt his actions and instantly darkened her expression, "Asshole! What are you doing?!"

She pushed Chu Yan away and kicked him hard.

Just now, Qin Zhao had arrived in time, killing Bai Qi and the other puppet dolls. Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Qiu had both broken free from the illusion, but Chu Yan was still lost in it.

She had yelled out, and Chu Yan finally woke up.

Now that he’s awake, why the hell was he touching her chest! Didn’t he know there were other people around!

The suddenly assaulted Chu Yan felt wronged, "I just wanted to make sure it was you."

Qin Zhao snorted, "You can’t even recognize me, how useless can you be?"

"But it really looked like you."

Actually, it was the look in Qin Zhao’s eyes when he disdained him that he couldn’t stand.

Before he had known beauty, he could endure endless darkness. But once he had experienced it, he couldn’t tolerate losing that beauty and warmth.

"What did you encounter in the illusion?"

He said with a pathetic tone, "You dislike me and won’t let me touch."

"So you pressed against the human-skinned puppet and tried to kiss it?"

"I didn’t even get to kiss!"

Although he hadn’t kissed, Chu Yan still felt a shiver of disgust.

"It’s all resolved now, let’s head down the mountain."

By this time, it had already turned completely dark.

Qin Zhao had just destroyed Bai Qi’s true bones and his Nascent Soul, so it was easy to deal with this residual soul. Meanwhile, the body’s owner, Bai Qi, had fallen into a coma.

Shangguan Jing carried Bai Qi down the mountain and then took him back to Bai Fen’s house. When Bai Qi woke up, he had no idea what had happened in the past few days.

The next day, Qin Zhao went to see the Clan Leader.

She brought over the High Priest’s soul, and the High Priest informed the Clan Leader of everything and stated that Qin Zhao had resolved the issue with the Evil Spirit.

In the future, the members of the Bo People no longer had to be restricted and could go out to develop.

To express their gratitude, the Bo People, as the High Priest had said, handed over a copy of the Sheepskin Scroll to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao couldn’t understand the writing on it, but the Clan Leader had someone translate it into Chinese characters.

It contained Cultivation Techniques and some Spells, but they were of no use to Qin Zhao, who was at the Golden Core Stage, so she gave it to Shangguan Nephew.

As for the tomb that the geological team mentioned, it was Bai Qi’s tomb.

Qin Zhao had taken Shangguan Jing and others there again, retrieved quite a few items from inside, but handed them all over to the Bo People as they originally belonged to their clan.

As for the archaeological team’s trip, they had obtained a lot of historical data about the Bo People.

Although most of the historical data couldn’t be made public, it was of great significance to the archaeological field.

After staying for another two or three days, Qin Zhao and the archaeological team finally left.

The archaeological team prepared to return to Imperial City. Qin Zhao originally planned to go elsewhere to have fun, but after receiving a call from Qin Yu, saying Qin Wan had fallen and fractured her bone, both decided to return to Imperial City.

After arriving back in Imperial City, they didn’t go home but went straight to the hospital.

"Why are you back?"

Seeing the young couple return, Qin Wan looked displeasedly at Qin Yu, "Didn’t I ask you not to tell them? They were out on their honeymoon, why bother them?"

"What about you? Someone needs to be here to take care of you."

"We have a caretaker."

"When Qin Siyu comes, the caretaker is of no use."

Initially, Qin Yu hadn’t planned on telling Qin Zhao, wanting them to enjoy their time outside. But after Qin Wan was hospitalized, Qin Siyu had come a few times to cause trouble.

Once, Qin Yu wasn’t there.

The two had some unclear disagreement and started arguing. Qin Siyu pushed Qin Wan, causing her leg injury to worsen.

"First tell me, what were you and elder brother arguing about? I’ve already managed a way to transfer Qin Kejing to a psychiatric hospital; she won’t be sentenced. What more does he want?"

Qin Yu figured that Qin Siyu would come to cause trouble, probably because of Qin Kejing’s situation. Last time Qin Kejing had killed someone, Qin Zhao said it was because she was possessed, but the courts wouldn’t believe that.

If it weren’t for Qin Kejing’s mental issues, and Qin Yu hadn’t helped her discreetly, she would have likely received a death sentence.

"It’s about Qin Kejing."

Qin Wan sighed, "They only have one daughter. Even if she isn’t sentenced to death, staying in a psychiatric hospital, once it gets out, doesn’t sound good."

"So what? What does he want?"

Seeing them mention Qin Siyu, Qin Zhao couldn’t hide her displeasure.

"Never mind, Zhaozhao, don’t ask anymore. No matter what, your aunt won’t let them hurt you."
