CHAPTER 579: 0341 INTENTIONALLY BULLYING PEOPLE, DOES IT COUNT AS A VILLAIN (TWO IN ONE)_2

Is it bullying?

Or is it to make oneself less attractive?

Miss Yun is, after all, a clever woman.

——

Xu Chang’an walked to the front of the carriage and picked up the thing that suddenly darted out from the roadside and was constrained to the ground by him.

It was a small snake, looking ferocious, writhing fiercely in Xu Chang’an’s hand, as if it wanted to bite him.

But it was obviously a fake hostility; Xu Chang’an didn’t exert any force, and it retracted its fangs before it even got to bite.

"So, it really is Demon Qi." Xu Chang’an frowned.

Xu Chang’an silently observed the small snake in his hand closely.

This wasn’t a Snake Demon; it had merely been tainted by Demon Qi.

"Immortal Master..."

A Qingyi-dressed woman holding an umbrella stumbled over towards him.

"Immortal Master... show mercy..." The Qingyi woman hurried over, visibly anxious.

The heavy rain obscured her vision, but her ability to recognize it as an Immortal Sect aside from having excellent eyesight was due to Xu Chang’an being somewhat conspicuous, with a transparent Barrier enveloping the carriage, visible upon nearing.

Hearing the woman’s voice, Xu Chang’an looked up at the woman in front of him.

She appeared anxious, with barely suppressed fear, and most importantly, Xu Chang’an sensed a slight incongruity in her aura.

Although her eyes appeared black due to a blinding technique, Xu Chang’an easily discerned their true color.

Generally, women wouldn’t have light green eyes, right?

Before Xu Chang’an could speak, the Qingyi woman exclaimed in surprise, "Xu... Young Master Xu?"

After realizing the Immortal Sect before her was Xu Chang’an, her entire body trembled, releasing her burdens and took a long sigh of relief as the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated.

The Qingyi woman bowed repeatedly, apologizing, "Young Master, I’m sorry for the trouble, it’s my fault for not keeping it in check."

"Um... um?" Xu Chang’an blinked rapidly, "You know me?"

"I’m just a singing actor at the Flower Moon Building," the Qingyi woman carefully explained, "As soon as I opened the door, it darted out... are you alright."

"I’m fine." Xu Chang’an looked at the Qingyi woman with an odd expression, "This Cyan Snake is your pet?"

"Yes." The Qingyi woman gave a brief explanation.

Within a few words, Xu Chang’an understood the whole story.

Snakes naturally like water, so encountering such a rare rainstorm, it couldn’t control its instincts.

The reason she lived so far out as a Flower Moon Building girl was because the girls there all kept Li Huas. If she lived there with a snake... it wouldn’t be long before the snake pet would fall prey to the cats.

"Y-young Master..." The Qingyi woman lowered her head uncomfortably, feeling Xu Chang’an’s gaze on her eyes.

Her sisters all believed her eyes to be black, but she knew such a thing couldn’t be hidden from an Immortal Sect.

"Oh, it’s fine, just be careful." Xu Chang’an handed the Cyan Snake over.

"Young Master Xu, I’m so sorry, I’m sorry..." The Qingyi woman took the small snake and continued to apologize.

The Cyan Snake stuck out its tongue towards Xu Chang’an before slithering down the Qingyi woman’s clothing to her ankle, coiling around like a green anklet, motionless.

Xu Chang’an found it intriguing.

The snake didn’t retaliate even while being held.

A young woman raising a snake and taming it to be so docile was quite fascinating.

Of course, the faint trace of Demon Qi on her was more interesting.

A Half-Demon... perhaps.

Xu Chang’an shook his head, ready to get back in the carriage and leave when he noticed the Qingyi woman following him.

"Young Master, are you heading to the Unfastened Boat?" The Qingyi woman softly asked, "Did Ms. Zhu invite you?"

"Yes." Xu Chang’an turned back, surprised, "How did the young lady know about this?"

The Qingyi woman’s face turned red, and she fidgeted with her clothes, "I...I was going out to the Unfastened Boat too... which is why the little fellow slipped out, causing you trouble."

As the woman continued, Xu Chang’an understood.

It all started when the Qingyi woman received an order from Zhu Pingniang saying there was an evening banquet and she was to perform to enhance the atmosphere.

She hadn’t expected to meet Xu Chang’an this way.

The Qingyi woman’s eyes suddenly brightened, she said, "Young Master, you’re so esteemed, how can you drive the carriage yourself... let me do it."

This would be the least she could offer as a compensation.

"That’s unnecessary, especially in such heavy rain..."

Xu Chang’an instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the Qingyi woman’s pleading expression, "Young Master, I’ve worked as a coachman before, and although my eyes don’t serve much use, they see clearly."

"..." Xu Chang’an pretended not to understand, yet he didn’t refuse and handed over the short whip.

"Miss, trouble you."

The Qingyi woman sat at the front of the carriage, staring uneasily at the transparent rain barrier overhead, "It’s me who has taken advantage."

In such heavy rain, if she were alone, she’d get drenched to the bone.

Watching the Cyan Snake crawl back onto the girl’s wrist, Xu Chang’an shook his head, entered the carriage, and said to Miss Yun, who seemed calm.

"Miss, in short... now there’s someone to drive the carriage."

"Mm." Yun Qian thought it was a good thing since Xu Chang’an could stay in the carriage with her.

"So, what happened?" She inquired.

Xu Chang’an narrated everything to Yun Qian, then quietly remarked, "That young lady is actually a Half-Demon, but considering Senior Zhu’s temperament, it’s not surprising."

"Oh." Yun Qian nodded.

Speaking, Xu Chang’an’s expression felt somewhat awkward.

This Qingyi young lady’s Half-Demon identity was very apparent.

"Miss, did you know? Snakes are notably nearsighted, yet that girl had excellent eyesight, it’s said... these kinds of things indeed can’t be understood logically."

"Mm." Yun Qian acknowledged.

"Moreover, the girl’s eyes are a light green, possibly due to Ms. Zhu applying a simple blinding technique, but... I can see through Senior’s blinding technique. Whether Senior cared or didn’t... why wasn’t an effective Spell employed?" Xu Chang’an was puzzled.

Logically speaking, if even he could see through it, what was the point of the blinding technique?

To hide her Half-Demon nature among ordinary girls?

But any Immortal Sect member would recognize it.

He couldn’t quite comprehend it.

Yun Qian, however, said, "Blinding technique? That thing doesn’t work on you."

Her husband’s eyes weren’t to be deceived by anyone.

He was more likely to deceive others.

"I’m merely an Immortal Sect member, not an Immortal." Xu Chang’an was quite helpless over Miss Yun’s blind trust. Just as he was about to say more, he noticed Yun Qian staring directly at him.

The gaze of Miss Yun was clear and pure, but Xu Chang’an felt her eyes were dark and profound, making him feel guilty.

"Miss, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is this everything you wanted to tell me?" Yun Qian inquired.

"..."

Xu Chang’an was silent for a while, then turned his head, "I don’t understand."

Pretending to play dumb.

Yun Qian asked, "You said earlier that it was just the snake that darted out that made the carriage sway."

"Yes..." Xu Chang’an wanted to nod but changed his reply at the end, "If Miss believes it so, then it is so."

"But I don’t think so." Yun Qian shook her head, then smiled.

Because she knew that even in such trivial matters, Xu Chang’an wouldn’t lie to her, it made her quite happy.

"Alright then..." Xu Chang’an looked at the smile on Yun Qian’s face and finally conceded.

He reached out to tidy Yun Qian’s somewhat disheveled clothing, helplessly saying, "I admit, I could have caught that small snake completely, no need to swerve, let alone fishtail."

The real reason he made such a big move was deliberate.

To put it plainly, he bullied people on purpose.

"Miss, how did you know I was intentionally bullying?" Xu Chang’an was very curious.

"Because it didn’t hurt that much." Yun Qian pointed to her forehead.

Earlier, the Spiritual Power her husband provided acted as a buffer, so even after rolling once, she didn’t feel anything.

It was utterly painless, simply soiling her clothes,

Clearly, it was premeditated to make her fall.

"Is it that you don’t like the way I dress?" Yun Qian asked.
