After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 2

ARC 0: WANT TO EAT YOU

The guests looked at one another, and every one of them thought today’s huge drama was a sight.

Although such incidents were aplenty in the entertainment circle, some even stranger than this, but seldom was there a case where someone personally rolled up their sleeves to tear people down in public.

Not to mention the fact that the protagonists were a singer, a film emperor, and a hot-search small flower¹.

Yan Ge's succinct words countered the bride's gleaming tears. She curled her lips in disdain, then turned to look at Lin Mingzhe. "Come here, let's have a good chat."

Lin Mingzhe had a tight grip on Song Qian's hand. His lower body trembled despite himself and didn't dare to look at Yan Ge.

When her words fell, he retreated until his body was pressed against the rose frame behind him. Trembling from head to toe, he asked: "Are—are you a person or a ghost..."

Yan Ge beamed at him. "Of course I’m a ghost, otherwise how could I be standing here!"

When Lin Mingzhe heard this, his complexion paled even more. He nearly fainted on the spot.

Yan Ge spoke on unhurriedly: "When you were with me, we signed a contract. I gave you money to embed Qilongzhu², but it wasn't for you to fool around with other girls."

This phrase, 'Qilongzhu’, was not particularly heavy, but after hearing it, everyone's sight immediately fell between Lin Mingzhe's legs.

It turned out to be Qi-long-zhu. The man was so cruel to himself.

"Although I have always regarded you as a house pet, I did have a little affection for you. If you said you didn't want to continue the contract, we could have parted ways with no hard feelings. Anyway, it’s not like Qilongzhu is unique and matchless."

Yan Ge glanced at Lin Mingzhe, and her countenance turned cold. "But it was not right for you to replace my antidepressants with sleeping pills. Even cats and dogs have a bit of childish admiration for their owners. You're not even as good as a beast... "

As she moved closer to Lin Mingzhe, the sweat on his frightened face was visible in everyone's camera. His trembling appearance made people think that he would shake himself into a pile of bones in the next moment.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me." In a moment of desperation, Lin Mingzhe pointed at Song Qian and yelled: "It was Song Qian. She's the one who bought the medicine. I only learned later on...Xiao Ge..."

He had just shouted 'Xiao Ge', those two words when he trembled from the cold and frosty eyes opposite him. He promptly ended that line of argument, but couldn't stop himself begging for mercy. "I was wrong. Please forgive me..."

Those viewers on the live broadcast platform could not calm down. The screen was flooded with everyone's pop-up windows.

Moreover, the number of people watching online increased from tens of thousands at the beginning to hundreds of thousands. It had now broken through one million and was still rapidly rising...

In the entertainment industry, such dirty catfights were commonplace. Everyone had heard the gossip and news. Still, this thrilling broadcast was hard to come by, and it mobilized nearly everyone to gather in crowds to watch.

When Song Qian perceived the cold eyes of Yan Ge, she resisted the urge to shudder with great difficulty and barely smiled as she said: “Miss Gu, I always thought you regarded Mingzhe as a pastime. I really like him, but I also admire you. If I had known you still cared about him so much, I would never marry him. Since you’ve said this, I—I promise I will never be involved with Mingzhe in the future. He and I will be one cut, two parts!"³

This remark was so straightforward, and when coupled with her pitiful palm-sized face, it could instantly suck in countless fans. But that was only if Ling Mingzhe hadn't just accused her.

Four words flooded the screen online in response to Song Qian: The Queen of Sluts!

Yan Ge suddenly smiled and cast a glance as she said: "Isn't it just a string of rubber seeds? If you like, you can take it to have fun. No need to be so reverently fearful⁴. They're not worth that much. Take anything here for example; what isn't more valuable than those balls? Have I ever cared about such things?”

Without waiting for Song Qian to open her mouth, Yan Ge continued: "But we still have to wrangle over how you changed my antidepressants with sleeping pills."

Song Qian would never push such matters onto herself. She immediately said: "Mingzhe's talking nonsense, he had too many drugs today. Gu Jiejie, don't listen to his drivel. I didn't, and I couldn't have been able to do such a thing."

Yan Ge liked Song Qian's ability to adapt to the situation. She grabbed Song Qian's chin and spoke with a tenderness. "Your nose prosthesis didn't assimilate properly. It's almost crooked, so take the time to maintain it. Still so young, and you've already been ruined like this."

Before Song Qian could speak up, Yan Ge suddenly released her and concentrated on a man clad in a black robe walking slowly towards the platform. Her expression turned vigilant.

The man's handsome figure was ramrod straight. His five facial features⁵ were highlighted with shadows, but those long and narrow eyes and eyebrows, as well as extremely thin lips, made his face appear somewhat effeminate.

Nevertheless, the momentum in his eyes was too excessive, and the aura around him seemed more powerful with each step he took. It was a kind of majestic force that could break through mountains and rivers. As such, no one would dare regard him as a shemale.

Yan Ge saw that he was drawer closer. The space around her had begun to distort. She was terrified at heart, but couldn't even run away. It was as if her body had been frozen in place.

Unable to flee, she could only resist the anger and curry favor with the man: "Dage, I have something to say. This isn't just the first or second time we've met. To this day we haven't yet had a good chat over tea."

If the previous Yan Ge was said to be a tigress, right now she was a mere kitten before this man.

The man's steps paused and seemed to be genuinely thinking about Yan Ge's suggestion.

Like a snake creeping up the stick⁶, Yan Ge spoke again in a rush: "Dage, the world is so large, our meeting must be destined. How about looking for a place to let loose and celebrate?"

The man's brows wrinkled but then immediately loosened. Yan Ge had seen this so many times. Finally, she heard him say: "Don't drink tea. Don't chat. Want to eat you."

I can’t seem to decide on how to romanize people’s names/nouns/appellations. Is 言歌 Yan Ge or Yan Ge? 大哥 Dage or DaGe or even Da Ge? No sè, man. Also, what do you think of having a superscript for personal pronouns instead of hiding the definition in a hovering text?
