I’ve Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 390

If his older brother really did oppose him—— Xu Zirong narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not sure what he would do if that really happened.

Fortunately, in the past few times, his brother had not shown any fear or other negative emotions towards him. Instead, he often revealed a tender expression. It seemed that… it was his brother’s responsibility for making him like that.

Xu Zirong enjoyed seeing affection and understanding in his brother’s eyes. Whenever he exposed his own cruel side and saw those two expressions on his brother’s face, he felt a thrilling pleasure.

This time—— he hoped that his brother would show those expressions again and let him have his way. However, it currently seemed that…

Xu Zirong anxiously looked at Xu Ziyan, who was staring at him expressionlessly. The affection and understanding he had expected were nowhere to be found.

Xu Ziyan silently reached his finger out and pointed to the woods that had been stained red with flesh and blood. His gaze was sharp as he stared at Xu Zirong.

Xu Zirong’s eyes gradually dimmed, and a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes. Had he finally—— reached his limit?

Was his brother no longer willing to tolerate his cruel self?

Blood gradually covered his eyes, and it seemed like his reason was also slipping away from him. He was used to the warmth of his brother’s presence and could not bear the thought of his brother leaving him at all.

Otherwise——

In that instant, numerous ideas of suitable places to imprison his brother flashed through Xu Zirong’s mind. However, before he could choose the most suitable one, Xu Ziyan slapped him on the back of the head.

“You…you’re really frustrating me!” Xu Ziyan showed a look of frustration.

Xu Zirong remained dumbfounded, seemingly not fully grasping the sudden change of events.

“What on earth were you thinking?” Xu Ziyan furiously poked Xu Zirong’s forehead with his finger, “Do you know that he’s a nascent soul cultivator?! That was a nascent soul cultivator from the sea snake clan! Do you have any idea how much the inner core of nascent soul cultivators can be sold for? How much the materials he had on him can be sold for? I understand that you were in bloodthirsty state, so it’s forgivable that you can’t leave a corpse, but do you really have to grind his inner core to pieces? Do you have a grudge against spiritual stones or something? Don’t you know how much spiritual stones our demon-slaying army have to consume? Such imprudence!”

Xu Ziyan looked at the forest with a touch of regret, then glared at Xu Zirong angrily.

“Why are you just standing there? Have I said anything wrong?” Noticing that Xu Zirong seemed lost in thought, Xu Ziyun could not help but explode in fury.

All the gloomy thoughts Xu Zirong had in his mind were instantly dispelled by Xu Ziyan’s outburst, and he looked at his brother bitterly, “TAT, I was wrong.”

Xu Ziyan let out a frustrated sigh, then lifted his spirits up, “Hurry up, let’s go check on Tianle. Maybe we can fetch that sea snake’s inner core!”

Xu Zirong: QAQ, I suddenly feel that I’m not as important as spiritual stones, how heartbroken…

Having been scolded by his brother for being an imprudent, Xu Zirong felt completely defeated. He followed behind his brother, drooping his head, looking dispirited.

On the other hand, Xu Ziyan, who walked ahead, appeared unusually energetic.

Speaking of which, ever since that mad lad developed his intermittent madness, Xu Ziyan had been extremely tolerant and indulgent towards his younger brother in every possible way. Most of the time, he had shown boundless doting. However, just now, he suddenly realized that even indulgence had its limits. He took one step back, yet Xu Zirong took one step forward.

On non-principle matters, Xu Ziyan did not mind taking a step back for Xu Zirong, but he did not want Xu Zirong to always test his limits endlessly.

Yes, due to the experiences from their past lives, Xu Zirong was a person who lacked a sense of security and always had the urge to lock him up in a dark room. However, Xu Ziyan was a grown man with his own thoughts and principles, so it was impossible for him to yield to Xu Zirong’s whims forever.

If Xu Zirong continued being like that, sooner or later, he would truly cross his limits. By then, the relationship between the two would be difficult to handle.

He liked Zirong and cherished their relationship. Any relationship required efforts from both sides. Unilateral concessions would not satisfy Xu Zirong’s possessiveness. It would only make him greedier. Therefore, appropriate refusals were necessary.

He had also realized that under certain circumstances, Xu Zirong was a bit of a masochist. If Xu Ziyan was slightly more assertive, Xu Zirong would become docile. Only through such continuous compromise and mutual understanding could their relationship be maintained in the long run.

Just like that, Xu Ziyan strode forward with his head held high, looking calm.

On the contrary, Xu Zirong, who usually liked to be naughty and acted like a spoiled child, now appeared anxious and followed behind his brother like an obedient little wife, looking exceptionally meek.

Feeling the slightly anxious thoughts conveyed by Zirong, Xu Ziyan’s lips curved up in a certain way. It seemed that a certain level of assertiveness was indeed necessary.

With Xu Zirong leading the way, the duo quickly found Tianle’s location.

As an escape master, Tianle really had no pressure when dealing with Flower Tail.

Especially his mouth, which was as toxic as Flower Tail’s signature move. When Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong arrived, Tianle was running fast in the front, firing off words effortlessly, while Flower Tail was chasing behind, twitching the corners of his mouth. His expression seemed to indicate that he was about to foam at the mouth in the next second due to anger…

Xu Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then lit a candle for Flower Tail.

Tianle’s sharp tongue was no joke. Hadn’t he already infuriated the nascent soul snow demon to death… Although it was also due to the snow demon’s own characteristics, it showed just how sharp Tianle’s tongue could be.

“Hahahahaha… Where was I just now? Oh right, I was talking about how you’re so devoted in pursuing that female cultivator from the East Sea that you took the initiative to cut off one little pp. In fact, you don’t actually have go such lengths, because having two pp also confirms a very promising future!” Tianle leaped forward and dodged an attack by Flower Tail, then he continued his verbal attacks.

Xu Ziyan almost burst into laughter. That Tianle was truly ruthless, even bringing up the fact that the snake clan had two pp…

“I… I’ll fight you till the end!” Flower Tail was so furious that he lost his mind. His face turned pale, and his two vertical pupils became blood-red. He even ignited his own spiritual power, bursting forth and almost catching up to Tianle.

“Ah! My fellow Xu, come save me!” Tianle screamed strangely and swiftly rushed over, throwing himself at Xu Ziyan’s thigh.

Xu Ziyan: …

Xu Zirong: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Damn it, this guy must be tired of staying alive! How dare he hug my brother’s thigh!!! I’ll kill him, I must kill him! But I can’t… QAQ, Brother just lost his temper. If I kill him now, will Brother get even angrier?

“You all must die!” Flower Tail roared madly, instantly transforming into a giant python with a length of several tens of feet. With a flick of his thick snake tail, he immediately cleared away a large area of trees.

Xu Zirong’s eyes sharpened. Damn you! If this guy wasn’t chasing so desperately, how would Tianle have the guts to throw himself into my brother’s arms?

It’s all your fault! If you don’t die, who will?

Xu Zirong decisively redirected his anger. Currently, Tianle still had the ‘teammate’ label on him, making it inconvenient to attack him for now. However, nobody cared about that snake. They were both his enemies anyway, so killing one less enemy was no big deal!

Therefore, Xu Zirong took action. His entire body’s spiritual power surged, and a rich crimson light enveloped him.

Even the tearful Tianle, who was still hugging Xu Ziyan’s thigh and crying beside him, was shocked. He could not help but take the time to peek through his fingers in amazement: My goodness, how many people has this guy killed? How can he have such a strong murderous aura?

Inadvertently locking eyes with Xu Zirong, he could not help shuddering.

Silently retracting his hands that were hugging Xu Ziyan’s thigh, Tianle looked grievingly at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Forget it, it’s wiser to read the situation. Although it’s amusing to see a change my great friend’s face, for the sake of my own life, I shouldn’t provoke him any further.

Xu Zirong’s blood surged, turning his whole body turned into a sea of blood, which soon engulfed Flower Tail’s massive snake body.

Not to be outdone, Flower Tail emitted a burst of green mist all over his body. The wisps of green mist were extremely toxic, so any plants that it touched would turn black and wither to death in an instant.

The green mist and the sea of blood clashed, constantly making the sizzling sound of corrosion. At first glance, it seemed that both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do harm to the other. However, Xu Zirong knew that victory was bound to be his!

The reason was very simple ╮(╯▽╰)╭. His brother, also lover, was watching from the sidelines. If he could not beat him, wouldn’t his brother step in to help?

Xu Zirong was quite used to one-on-one fights turning into group fights. Back then, the demon-slaying army was used to outnumbering their enemies under his brother’s leadership, so three to five cultivators attacking a single demon was just an everyday occurrence.

Xu Zirong’s sea of blood wrapped around most of Flower Tail’s snake body, leaving only a few areas seemingly not completely enveloped. However, a careful observer would notice that all the uncovered areas were precisely Flower Tail’s vital acupoints, such as the *Qichong and Qihai.

*T/N: To simplify, “Qichong/CV1” and “Qihai/CV6” are located below belly button. CV1 is below CV6.

Xu Ziyan did not disappoint Xu Zirong. He never did and never would in the future.

They both had a natural connection due to Mr. Blood Contract. No matter what kind of thoughts Xu Zirong had, as long as he did not deliberately conceal it, they could be fully conveyed to Xu Ziyan.

Xu Ziyan rolled his eyes helplessly when Xu Zirong took the opportunity to try pleasing him. When his lover went through a dark phase, he could still be firm and resolute, but when it came to acting like a spoiled child, he really had no solution to it.

“Brother, Brother, come help me pweasee…”

Mr. Blood Contract was very persistent in conveying Xu Zirong’s words that were filled with strong coquettishness.

Xu Ziyan knew very well that with Xu Zirong’s strength, he could easily deal with Flower Tail. However, seeing the opponent’s adorable coquettish behavior, his heart shamefully softened.

The divine thunder arrows were aimed at Flower Tail’s heart, while Little Eight’s eight arrows also aimed at some other places that were not covered by the blood mist.

In fact, Xu Ziyan’s Purple Night Divine Thunder was naturally capable of destroying evil and was the perfect counter to Xu Zirong’s Blood Sea Heart Sutra. However, due to some strange reason when both of them formed their golden cores, their spiritual powers fused so thoroughly that even if Little Greenie went strolling in Xu Zirong’s inner core twice, there would be no harm done.

That was why Xu Ziyan dared to shoot arrows at Xu Zirong so fearlessly. In his blood sea state, Xu Zirong could resist most physical damage, and Little Greenie’s attribute of destroying evil could not affect him at all, which naturally avoided any accidental injuries.
