AMDTVBA Chapter 21 After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 21

ARC 1: THE EMPEROR SCHEMES TO GRAB A MAN’S WIFE (18)

Emperor Yuan heard people discuss the leader of the bandits’ fondness for men and how he was going to confer favor1 on a captured scholar tonight. Although he was also ‘captured’, he wanted to see what kind of existence the infamous bandits’ stronghold was in person.

He felt pity for the scholar and therefor thought to kill his way into the leader's bedroom to rescue him.

He did not expect the so-called leader to be Yan Ge. It was no wonder they talked about the bandit leader’s love for men. Yan Ge was a woman and that was the end of the homosexual matter.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan’s heart burned with anger. He had guessed her numerous identities and thought she was a chivalrous swordsman from the Jianghu that robbed the rich to help the poor. He never imagined she would be a mountain bandit leader, and a notorious one at that.

Emperor Yuan’s former good impression of Yan Ge vanished immediately. He even had an urge to dismember the woman into thousands of pieces to vent his hatred.

Yan Ge was stunned as she listened to Emperor Yuan's loathing and infuriated voice. It would seem she became an unscrupulous mountain leader with indiscriminating tastes?

Anyway, it was wasn't time to reveal her identity.

Since Emperor Yuan was here, the imperial secret guards must also be around. She had to find a way to lure him away.

Should the Ming Army and Imperial Secret Guards encounter one another and shoulder their respective duties, they were going to fight to the death. Furthermore, if Emperor Yuan knew that the Ming Army was buying food in private, he might misunderstand and think they were going to rebel.

Yan Ge’s idea changed in the time between a bolt of lightning and a spark of fire2. She reached out to pull him: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Thinking that she was about to attack him, Emperor Yuan swung the dagger in his hand. Yan Ge did not dodge and her arm was slashed.

The hot blood that splashed across Emperor Yuan's face instantly extinguished his anger. In its stead, a nameless flame arose. Why didn't she dodge? As he pressed down on Yan Ge's arm, his question changed into: "Why do you want to be a mountain bandit leader here?”

Yan Ge covered the wound with her other hand: "Your Majesty, this can’t be the dagger I gifted you, can it? How cruel of you to use it to harm me.”

Emperor Yuan heard her words and flung the dagger to the ground without hesitation: "If you properly admit your guilt, Zhen will spare your life!"

His words just fell when Yan Ge suddenly pushed him away and a leaped out of the window.

How could Emperor Yuan allow her to leave like this? He immediately chased her with an angry huff.

Yan Ge led him to the back of the mountain.

The strategic terrain had traps. At first, she thought she could get rid of him here and reunite with her own people, but while the emperor lived a pampered life, his martial arts was not weak. He pursued Yan Ge closely and nearly intercepted her several times.

This was not going to work.

The wound on Yan Ge’s arm was bleeding profusely and wasting more time was detrimental to her.

She was irritated, but as she listened to Ji Zai screeching in her mind about an upcoming trap, she pretended not to know and tripped herself.

Emperor Yuan saw something was wrong and flew forward to pull her, but he flung himself too hard and she was heavier than he thought. After grabbing Yan Ge’s wrist, he fell into the trap along with her.

Emperor Yuan wanted to pull her into his arms, but right before they landed, Yan Ge flipped them over and became the sacrificial victim.

The pit was very deep. Fortunately, there were no spikes at the bottom. The two people can be said to have recovered their lives.

However, Yan Ge's condition was somewhat serious.


  1. Confer favor (临幸—lín xìng)this term normally refers to when an emperor sleeps with a concubine↩︎
  2. Bolt of lightning, spark of fire (电光火石—diànguāng huǒshí)a saying that basically means an extremely fleeting moment↩︎
