Transmigration: The Breathtaking Villain is Forced into Love by the Blackened Protagonist chapter 104

Chapter 104: Obsession

Because of Lou Yunxiao’s words, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Ning Ke’s cold, empty eyes for the first time.

Now that Lou Yunxiao’s Mo energy and spiritual energy were in balance, his current self was his true self.

He had worn a mask for too long, making him truly believe his only purpose in this life was for revenge and for exterminating the Mo.

Only now, facing the person he truly loved, did he realize that he also had selfish desires.

The desire to have him, to possess him—more and more crazed and obsessive thoughts were growing within his heart.

He finally couldn’t suppress them any longer.

Instead, his true face was revealed.

“…” Ning Ke suppressed the turmoil in his heart and pushed the sachets back toward Lou Yunxiao.

“I will not accept these sachets. If you do not wish to give them to others, keep them for yourself, or throw them away and burn them—it has nothing to do with me.”

“As for you saying you won’t let go, it sounds quite laughable to me.”

“Once we leave this Demon Realm, where I wish to go is my own freedom. You have no right to interfere.”

But Lou Yunxiao did not take the sachets.

When Ning Ke pushed them over, he simply let go.

The sachets all fell to the ground.

Ning Ke was slightly stunned, only to hear Lou Yunxiao say, “The sachets have already been given to you. If you want them, take them. If you don’t, then as you said, you can throw them away or burn them.”

He took half a step back to widen the distance, and without glancing at the sachets scattered across the ground, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

“Also, when I said I won’t let go, it means wherever you go, I will follow. Even if you intend to leave, you won’t be able to shake me off.”

Ning Ke frowned. He hadn’t expected Lou Yunxiao to be this persistent.

After a confession is rejected, shouldn’t there be a clean break?

Why was it ineffective with Lou Yunxiao?

“Your great vengeance is not yet paid. How can you follow me?”

As if expecting Ning Ke to say this, Lou Yunxiao countered:

“The Liuyun Sect was destroyed by Mo. Exterminating Mo is my revenge. And you are well-versed in Mo-Sealing Talismans and the Tiandao Array, and you reinforced the seal in the underground palace with your clone’s death—such resolve shows your hatred for the Mo is no shallower than mine.”

“Therefore, since we share a common enemy, traveling with you allows us to exterminate Mo together. In that case, why can’t I follow you?”

“?”

Ning Ke was caught in his logic.

For a moment, he couldn’t think of what to say to refute Lou Yunxiao.

After all…

His enemy truly was the Mo.

However, once he finished this third stage of the mission, he would end the time regression. At that time, even if Lou Yunxiao had heaven-defying abilities, he would not be able to find A-Ke or Ming Xin again.

With this thought, his mindset settled, and he only muttered one phrase: “Pestering and unreasonable.”

Then he turned and walked away.

Lou Yunxiao watched Ning Ke leave, then looked at the sachets on the ground stained with dirt, pursing his lips.

—It turned out he truly did not value the things he gave him.

He wasn’t even willing to give them a second glance.

Now, he finally knew A-Ke’s true nature.

Doing as he pleased, unrestrained and carefree, saying whatever he wanted, and doing whatever he wanted.

He could be laughing and playing with him one moment and pushing him away heartlessly the next.

Like a bird flying freely, without any constraints.

If he could just be more open-minded, he would be willing to stand in place and watch the bird fly away.

But he ultimately… could not be open-minded!

Desire surged in Lou Yunxiao’s eyes, and with a snap, he broke a hanging branch.

Mo energy welled up, corroding the branch into ashes that slid from his fingertips.

At this moment, he deeply understood that compared to a kind person who releases a bird, he probably wanted more to be a cage that holds the bird, or a chain that shackles its legs—binding each other, a lifelong restraint.

He would make it so that bird could never even dream of leaving his side.

…

In the middle of the night, Ning Ke, who should have long since left the forest, appeared at the spot where they had been during the day. He bent down and picked up the sachets from the ground.

Some of the sachets were embroidered with exquisite patterns, and others were embroidered with words Lou Yunxiao wanted to say to him.

—A-Ke, the purple osmanthus in the courtyard has bloomed. I’m waiting for you to wake up and drink with me.

—A-Ke, Xiaoxiao told me to bury you today. I refused. I don’t believe you’re dead; you must just be sleeping.

—A-Ke, I am helping you find your home, but I have no clues.

—When you wake up, tell me where your home is. Let me accompany you to find it, okay?

—A-Ke, I really miss you.

Ning Ke gripped those sachets tight, hiding the words in his palm before storing them in his storage ring, not daring to look at them again.

“Since you threw them away, why did you come back to pick them up?”

Wu Gou’s voice rang out from the distance.

Ning Ke’s body stiffened.

He said “none of your business” and turned to walk back.

But as he passed Wu Gou, he heard the little monk say, “If Benefactor Lou asks you in a moment where you went, how should I answer?”

Ning Ke stopped and frowned at Wu Gou. “Don’t meddle in other people’s business.”

“And what if I insist on meddling?”

Wu Gou rubbed his prayer beads, his eyes clear and bright, as if seeing right through Ning Ke.

“Will you kill me?”

“…”

Seeing Ning Ke silent for a long time, the corners of Wu Gou’s straight lips finally curled up.

He knew he had bet correctly again.

These past few days, Lou Yunxiao wasn’t the only one feeling lost.

Wu Gou was the same.

Ning Ke’s various behaviors filled him with worry.

And the aura of a death wish surrounding Ning Ke’s karma was growing stronger and stronger.

He didn’t know what kind of pressure Ning Ke was carrying, but at the very least, he wanted to step into Ning Ke’s heart again.

Even if he could only share a little of Ning Ke’s burden, it was better than watching him reject everyone and struggle alone.

So, now that he had caught an opportunity, he absolutely could not let Ning Ke go.

“It seems you cannot bring yourself to strike me,” Wu Gou continued. “In that case, these sachets have become a leverage I hold against you.”

Ning Ke narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent surging around him. “You dare to blackmail me?”

Wu Gou’s eyes curved in a smile, yet his expression was very serious as he replied.

“Yes, I dare.”

Thump—

Wu Gou’s back broke a tree trunk, and his neck was slashed by Ning Ke’s Yao claws, leaving it drenched in blood.

And Ning Ke just held him by the throat, lifting him up.

He tightened his grip.

The murderous intent in his eyes not only didn’t fade but grew even more intense.

Wu Gou’s heart trembled slightly.

He felt that Ning Ke really wanted to kill him this time.

And Ning Ke’s current aura was also very different from before.

He had become sharp, cold, and possessed a dominance that seemed to hold everything in the palm of his hand.

He was no longer the Ning Ke who spoke to him kindly, but the high-and-mighty Yao Lord with supreme strength.

Yet… he didn’t hate it.

Not only was Wu Gou not afraid, he even smiled more brightly.

Because he was clear that no matter what, Ning Ke’s essence had not changed.

He believed in that.

Placing both hands on Ning Ke’s hand that was choking him, Wu Gou said with a smile, “If you want to kill… just kill. Dying at your hand… is no loss…”

“But if you spare me… I will… continue to blackmail you… until you are willing to… listen to me talk…”
