Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 5 - Revenge

Chapter 5 : Revenge

Throughout the day, Ye Xuan became certain that Yu Ling’er absolutely wanted to kill him. Even though Taihua was a righteous immortal sect where killing was forbidden, if an immortal wanted to kill, it wouldn’t be difficult. Yu Ling’er would surely find an opportunity to kill him completely, leaving no trace behind.

To her, as a reborn heroine, he was the great demon who killed her parents and lover. Moreover, he had no way to seek help or explain himself to Yu Ling’er. Could he tell them he wasn’t really the villain, just a transmigrator? If he did, Yu Ling’er would probably be even more determined to kill him, thinking he was a reborn person too.

Ye Xuan spent the entire day thinking of ways to escape Yu Ling’er’s assassination, but nothing seemed feasible. He had transmigrated into a villain trapped in a dead end. Without any other options, he could only wait for death unless he could suddenly achieve spiritual awakening and rapidly advance in cultivation levels.

But recalling the simple technique taught to him by his senior brother, his mind buzzed with confusion. He didn’t understand anything about Dao, Immortality, spiritual Qi, the nine Aperture, or Destiny stars.

The next morning, as dawn broke, someone knocked on Ye Xuan’s door. “Junior brother, are you still asleep? Get up, today you have to cultivate with me.” Yu Ling’er was outside knocking on his door.

According to the rules of Taihua Sect, new disciples were led in cultivation by their senior brothers and sisters to prevent accidents. Yu Ling’er had volunteered to guide Ye Xuan’s cultivation. If it were before her rebirth, her interest in guiding the new junior brother would have been due to curiosity. But now, her goal was evident—to kill Ye Xuan.

To Ye Xuan, facing Yu Ling’er was like facing an evil spirit knocking on the door. Letting Yu Ling’er take him to cultivate would surely lead to his death. He absolutely could not go out; even if he starved to death inside, he couldn’t go out.

“Junior brother, if you don’t come out, I’m going to barge in,” Yu Ling’er said impatiently, her tone turning colder.

Just as Ye Xuan thought of pretending to be ill, a flash of spiritual light passed, and the door opened automatically. Yu Ling’er entered with a cold face, looking at Ye Xuan with a disdainful expression unbefitting her age, but she put on an innocent facade, “Little junior brother, it’s so late and you’re still not up. The sun is already high in the sky… get dressed quickly, or I’ll have to drag you to cultivate, okay?”

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s demeanor, Ye Xuan felt a chill down his spine. “Oh well, oh well…” He thought, “What’s the point of living? If I can’t cultivate as an immortal, I still face life, old age, sickness, and death. Death it is then.”

And so, knowing full well that Yu Ling’er was intent on killing him, Ye Xuan still got dressed in his new sect robe and left his room. As soon as he stepped out, a bone-chilling wind hit him. He hadn’t noticed the cold yesterday, but it was bitterly cold today.

Taihua Mountain was not a place for ordinary people. His room had a warming array, but the outside didn’t. Perhaps Master Qingyan had cast a cold-resisting spell on him yesterday. Although Qingyan didn’t pay much attention to him, he wasn’t a mean person.

Watching Ye Xuan shiver from just stepping outside, Yu Ling’er smirked triumphantly, yet pretended to be lively, jumping in front of Ye Xuan and saying, “Oh dear, junior brother, are you afraid of the cold? Don’t tell me you didn’t manage to cultivate anything last night? You’re so useless…”

She deliberately mocked him, knowing about Ye Xuan’s lack of a spiritual root. Before her rebirth, Yu Ling’er never flaunted her spiritual root in front of Ye Xuan, nor did she ever call him useless. But now, Yu Ling’er felt a surge of satisfaction in taking revenge on this scoundrel.

Seeing the pretentious innocence of Yu Ling’er as she spouted hurtful words, Ye Xuan wished he could tear her mouth apart. “Damn it, if I survive, I won’t let this brat off the hook—” He glared hatefully at Yu Ling’er.

Yu Ling’er felt strange seeing Ye Xuan’s hateful gaze. “Why does he look at me so differently than before? Could it be that he doesn’t like me after my rebirth?” She wondered. She initially intended to let Ye Xuan experience the same despair as in her previous life. To make him experience such despair, she had to make him like her first. But he didn’t seem to like her.

“That’s strange… It’s as if he has become a different person.” She then decided to let go of her intention to make him like her, finding the idea disgusting. “I might as well kill him quickly to avoid complications. Last life, this demon relied on his lack of a spiritual root to forcibly cultivate demonic powers, harming my parents, killing my brothers, and also killing Brother Qin.”

Thinking this way, Yu Ling’er said, “What are you looking at? Just because the sect master forced you into my father’s care, don’t think you have a chance to succeed in cultivation. Let me tell you, you’ll never succeed. Haha, a worthless person without a spiritual root.”

If it were to someone else, Yu Ling’er would never say something so harsh. However, looking at Ye Xuan, she felt too kind to him. She killed him without knowing what he had done to her. His death was so easy, and she didn’t let him suffer the pain of losing everything.

In the end, it was still because she was too kind and didn’t want to do anything too extreme… Doing such things would only torment her. After all, she wasn’t a ruthless demon like him.

“…”

Sure enough, Ye Xuan guessed right. At this moment, he completely accepted his fate. The person before him was indeed Yu Ling’er after her supposed rebirth, or rather, someone who believed she had been reborn.

Yu Ling’er’s character was clearly depicted in the novel; she would never speak so harshly to someone without reason. Based on the novel’s content, even if he became Yu Ling’er’s enemy, she would still want to tear him into pieces. He just hoped she wouldn’t make his death too painful. With that thought, Ye Xuan didn’t speak, just quietly watched Yu Ling’er.

However, seeing Ye Xuan’s indifferent expression, Yu Ling’er felt a bit uneasy. She had an inexplicable feeling that she might be doing something wrong. She then shook her head to dismiss the thought.

“Maybe it’s because Ye Xuan doesn’t know anything yet, so I feel he’s a bit innocent.” But she reminded herself that she was fortunate to have “reborn,” and he hadn’t had the chance to do those things yet. She couldn’t attribute her luck to others not having the chance to do bad things. No matter what, her parents, brothers, and all the important people in her life were killed by this scoundrel. So, he must die—!!!

Yu Ling’er firmed her resolve. Without saying more, she used a spell to bind Ye Xuan, rendering him immobile and unable to speak.
