After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 6

The Tenth Life abruptly ended.

When she came to her senses, Jiang Lianyue was still in her own room, and it was deep into the night outside.

Standing by the window, she gazed blankly at the sky.

A thousand years of events were vivid in her mind, leaving her with only deep remorse and guilt.

Suddenly, she drew the long sword from the table, placing it against her neck and intending to end her own life!

Although she had no memory of it, she, like the other Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, had indeed tormented her Eldest Senior Brother for nearly a thousand years!

Such sin could only be cleansed with her own life!

But just as her delicate fingers twitched, a flash of light suddenly shot forth, knocking the sword from her hands.

“Alas!”

“Why go to such lengths? You are destined to be an empress. How can you devalue your own life because of someone else’s mistake?” Xiao Hongyi said.

“Do you think I want to take my life because Eldest Senior Brother saw my body?” with an expressionless face, Jiang Lianyue coldly retorted.

“Isn’t that the case?” Xiao Hongyi was taken aback.

“Heh…”

Jiang Lianyue let out a cold laugh, then suddenly stood up, roaring, “Not only do I deserve to die, but so do you! You call yourself a master but you don’t even understand your own disciple!”

“How dare you!”

Xiao Hongyi was furious.

She didn’t understand what this was all about, but she could feel that Jiang Lianyue had clearly lost all respect for her.

“Master, please leave. This place cannot accommodate two people who deserve to die.” Jiang Lianyue’s voice remained cold and indifferent.

Xiao Hongyi was stunned again. She wanted to leave immediately, but worried that Jiang Lianyue might do something rash, she sighed and said,

“I don’t know what difficulties you are facing, but suicide is just an escape. Your enemies will laugh, and your loved ones will cry.”

These words finally touched Jiang Lianyue.

In her mind, two voices emerged.

One was Jiang Chen’s dying wish for Lin Feng to ‘Spare Them’.

The other was the laughter of Lin Feng committing murder to prove his Dao.

She didn’t want to upset her Eldest Senior Brother.

Perhaps in this life, the Eldest Senior Brother would no longer care about their fate, but he certainly wouldn’t want to see her commit suicide.

She also didn’t want to make it easy for Lin Feng.

Through nine cycles of reincarnation, if Lin Feng killed the Eldest Senior Brother nine times, she would kill him a thousand times, ten thousand times!

Even if he was the Son of Destiny, she wanted to try!

Only by doing so could she truly wash away her sins!

With this thought, Jiang Lianyue got up and left.

“Where are you going?” Xiao Hongyi asked.

Jiang Lianyue paused, her expression as cold as frost, and replied indirectly, “You are better than me. Although we share the same fate, at least you truly cared for Eldest Senior Brother.”

With those words, she vanished from sight.

Xiao Hongyi was left completely dumbfounded.

After a while, she could only guess that perhaps her favoritism towards Jiang Chen had chilled Jiang Lianyue’s heart.

But what could she do?

After all, he was her eldest disciple, and unless he was completely hopeless, she really couldn’t bring herself to cripple his cultivation and expel him from the sect.

“Alas.”

With another sigh, Xiao Hongyi also left.

…….

On the mountainside of the Ninth Peak, amidst towering ancient trees, stood a wooden pavilion.

This was where Jiang Chen lived.

Originally, as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Ninth Peak, his residence was on the right side of the main hall, where the spiritual energy was most concentrated.

But Jiang Chen moved here on his own some time ago.

At the time, many speculated that Jiang Chen did this because he felt unworthy of being the Eldest Senior Brother and voluntarily demoted himself.

Now Jiang Lianyue understood.

The reason was that Jiang Chen wanted to distance himself from his junior brothers and sisters and live a quiet life alone.

The silver light of the bright moon sprinkled across the ground as Jiang Lianyue stood alone in front of the wooden house. She knew that Jiang Chen was still unconscious at that moment.

After nine lifetimes spanning a thousand years, she had come to understand most of the plot and knew that the failure of this time’s Core Formation would leave Jiang Chen bedridden for more than ten days.

“Screech—”

She pushed open the door to find the room dark, lit only by a few flickering lamps.

Deep inside the wooden house.

Jiang Chen was still dressed in black, lying on the bed in a spread-eagle position, his breath rising and falling slightly.

Jiang Lianyue’s nose tingled with a sudden sourness as she approached the bed.

It was her fault again that her Eldest Senior Brother was lying unconscious!

Although in this life, Jiang Chen had indeed committed the act of peeping, that was not an issue at all to the current Jiang Lianyue.

Nine cycles of reincarnation, a millennium of time.

Looking back, the one who had been kindest to her and whose initial affection remained unchanged for a thousand years was none other than the Eldest Senior Brother before her.

Perhaps to Jiang Chen, she was only a senior brother’s younger sister, but a thousand years of observation had etched the name Jiang Chen into her very marrow, unforgettable in life and death.

Jiang Lianyue knew she had no right to stay by Eldest Senior Brother’s side.

Because of her foolishness and ignorance, she repeatedly hurt Eldest Senior Brother’s heart.

But if Jiang Chen was willing, she was ready to give her all.

Bending down, Jiang Chen’s cheek was close to her.

Jiang Lianyue raised her hand to brush away a strand of black hair and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m sorry, Lianyue was wrong…”

After speaking, tears fell from her eyes, dropping onto Jiang Chen’s cheek.

Scenes from a thousand years surfaced once more, and the sound of sobbing continued unabated until the dawn’s first light and the rising sun.

Jiang Lianyue had thought that after crying for a thousand years, she had cried enough.

But now she realized.

She hadn’t cried enough at all.

Whenever she thought of the things Jiang Chen had suffered, her heart ached as if being cut by a knife, and she could hardly breathe.

She wrapped her hands around Jiang Chen’s right hand, pressing his palm to her cheek.

While feeling Jiang Chen’s warmth, Jiang Lianyue said again:

“Eldest Senior Brother, don’t leave Lianyue behind. Lianyue will atone for her sins. Lianyue won’t let anyone hurt you again!”

“If heaven does not accommodate you, I will wield my sword against it.”

“If earth does not accommodate you, I will swing my sword to split it.”

“Against all the immortals in the heavens and the great emperors in all directions, just one word from Senior Brother, and even if my soul perishes, I will slay immortals and destroy emperors for you!”

“All I ask is…”

“I am the villain… All of you should die…” Jiang Chen’s sleep-talking interrupted Jiang Lianyue’s murmurs.

Hearing this, Jiang Lianyue smiled and said, “Alright, Senior Brother has protected me for nine lifetimes. It’s my turn this time. Since Senior Brother wants to be the villain, then I will join Senior Brother, and we will kill them all…”

A thousand years of self-reproach, nine lifetimes of guilt.

At this moment, she had already been crushed by various negative emotions.

Had Xiao Hongyi not appeared in time, she might have already taken her own life with a sword.

Although indifferent in personality, the Jiang Lianyue of the past was never cruel or ruthless.

She probably didn’t even realize that she had actually gone mad and turned dark.
