Chapter 135 So be it, it's none of our business
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past twenty days, the gates of Huachao remained tightly shut, and the entire camellia forest was completely silent except for the sounds of digging for planting trees and the occasional footsteps coming from the small courtyards within the forest.
Of course, this is just an appearance.
Inside the soundproof enclosure, Yan Xi tossed Mo Ran out the door for the nth time, irritably tugging at her hair. Watching Mo Ran land lightly and still manage a smile, she felt this person was practically screaming "I can't believe it!"
trouble!
In her eyes, Mo Ran was a complete nuisance.
Damn it, it's just a change of bloodline, how come the personality has changed too?
Seeing Mo Ran still trying to approach, Yan Xi felt annoyed and even thought, "What does she like about me? Can't I just change it?"
But then I thought again...
It's better to destroy others than to make things difficult for yourself.
Since she can't solve this problem... let's just get rid of the person who caused it!
Thinking this, Yan Xi's gaze swept over Mo Ran, finally settling on Mo Ran's two legs. Her eyes gradually sharpened as she seriously considered the possibility of breaking Mo Ran's legs and then packing her up and taking her away.
Since you can't bring yourself to hurt that face, surely you can at least cover it up and break its legs?
Yan Xi stroked her chin, a gentle smile appearing on her lips—the gentlest smile she'd shown in the past twenty days.
Mo Ran frowned and stopped in his tracks, sensing that things were not so simple.
She slowly backed away, taking several steps, until she was sure there was enough distance between them for her to run away immediately. Then she stopped and said firmly, "I'm not leaving."
Yan Xi crossed her arms, looked up, and squinted as she thought.
Mo Ran stared at her warily.
For a moment, both of them fell silent, but undercurrents were swirling beneath the surface.
Suddenly, as if she had figured something out, Yan Xi smiled, and her gaze towards Mo Ran calmed down, like a bottomless ancient well, her expression full of nonchalance.
"Forget it, whether you stay or leave is none of my business. What does it matter to me whether you live or die?"
"Since you're staying, then show your worth...go and bring someone back for me."
Mo Ran was taken aback, somewhat bewildered by her sudden change.
"Don't want to go? Then I'll find someone else." Seeing that she didn't move, Yan Xi turned to leave.
Mo Ran hurriedly agreed, "I'll go! Who are you picking up?"
Yan Xi turned around again and looked at her with a smile, "Go to Lingxi Pavilion and bring Princess Meng out of the seal."
She paused, then tilted her head. "You can do it all by yourself, right?"
Mo Ran nodded, and then Yan Xi smiled and gestured for him to enter, saying with a beaming smile, "Looking forward to your good news."
Mo Ran nodded again and walked away, feeling dizzy.
Watching her slender back, Yan Xi's smile gradually faded, and she turned and went back to the reception room.
Two children in green peeked out from behind the door, then closed it and followed Yan Xi with small, quick steps.
The soft couch that Yan Xi used to sit on was burned to the ground by Yan Xi twenty days ago. Now, in its place is a silver throne that looks like a dragon chair.
Yan Xi sat on the throne with her eyes closed, one hand supporting her head and the other resting on the armrest, her delicate pink fingertips gently tapping on the armrest.
The windows in the reception room were tightly closed, and the room was dark and cold, casting a shadow over Yan Xi's face.
Yin Yuan's voice echoed in his mind, "Have you figured it out?"
Yan Xi slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Yin Yuan's smiling face on the electronic screen, and then closed her eyes again.
For the past twenty days, she and Yinyuan had been on video calls without disconnecting, but apart from the occasional live stream of minor conflicts and clashes between Wang Mo and others and Chen Sisi and others, the two of them were almost doing their own things and didn't exchange a single word.
"I wasted almost a month of my time on someone I've only known for two months. I've done more than enough for her," Yan Xi said calmly.
“That’s right,” Yin Yuan said with a smile, casually tossing a coin. “She’s such a good tool, I’d feel like I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t take advantage of her.”
"So you just kept her there?"
Yin Yuan sat on the sofa in the system space, propping his head up with his hand, smiling innocently, but what he said was not so true: "Yeah, if she leaves, where are we going to find such a useful and obedient knife as her?"
Yan Xi sighed softly, "This is the first time someone has liked me for so long."
"Reluctant?"
Yan Xi touched her temples. "A little."
Yinyuan stroked his chin. "Then I'll try my best to keep her from dying."
"Forget it, no need to worry about her anymore." Yan Xi opened her eyes, her gaze cold. "Kind words can't persuade this damned ghost. These twenty days can be considered my return gift for her affection."
She looked into Yin Yuan's eyes and said seriously, "Let him die, it has nothing to do with us."
"Anyway, it was just a knife given to me by those old geezers. I let it go, but they don't appreciate it. What can we do?"
Looking into her cold eyes, Yin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yan Xi suddenly clicked her tongue again, "What a pity."
Yinyuan didn't see any regret on her face, so he smiled again and said, "She's just a pawn, nothing to regret."
"Mm," Yan Xi replied. "We don't think there's anything we haven't done yet, right?"
Yinyuan opened a memo, his slender fingers tracing over the lines of text, and finally shook his head. "That's all. Thirty days left. Just wait."
"Mm." Yan Xi smiled, her coldness completely hidden, and when she looked up again, all that remained was a smile.
"The show is about to begin!"
……
During those twenty days, Yan Xi quietly accomplished a great deal.
These things were scattered and fragmented, like mud splattered from a stick, with no discernible pattern.
Three days ago, she met with Shi Xi and the others again and told them that she planned to seal herself in thirty days, so that no matter how reckless they were, it would have no effect on her.
Looking at their expressions, Yan Xi simply smiled and said that while they naturally had feelings, they did not want to be destroyed or disappear because of human beings' reckless behavior.
She said that she was getting more wounds every moment, and she was tired and didn't want to continue like this.
Having seen off the main force that was going to destroy the world, Yan Xi then welcomed the creator god of this world, also known as "Heavenly Dao" or world consciousness.
The weak god angrily questioned Yan Xi about why she wanted to destroy the world, but Yan Xi grabbed him by the neck and threw him out. Then he received a new world that Yan Xi casually tossed to him.
So anger turned into flattery, and the god thanked him repeatedly and retreated in a sorry state. But halfway there, Yin Yuan erased all his memories and kicked him into the underworld, where he had his divinity and soul destroyed.
Yan Xi just watched coldly, the smile on her lips never fading.
If this god had not been swayed by external things, they might have spared his life. But he changed too quickly, making the two of them doubt that he would not betray them for personal gain. So his only fate was death.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
Yan Xi had always known that neither she nor Yin Yuan were good people.
They've conspired together to do evil; that's all there is to it.
When faced with profit, they are capable of anything.
Especially since this matter concerns her life.
Her life, her plans, were more important than anything else.
She wanted to live!
------
To clarify, Yan Xi's public persona has not been compromised.
Some people may think that Yan Xi's change of feelings towards Mo Ran was too fast, but for her, it was something she had thought about for a long time.
From initially simply using her to changing her plans for her, Yan Xi had already fulfilled her obligations as a friend. However, her patience with Mo Ran was slowly worn down over the course of twenty days, so Yan Xi instantly severed all the emotions she had invested in Mo Ran.
The author doesn't feel this breaks the character's established persona. The author has never said that Yan Xi is a good person. She can manipulate people like Shi Xi, whom she has known for countless millennia, and she can also manipulate Mo Ran...
