After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 77

ARC 2: THE FILM EMPEROR FROM HUMBLE ORIGINS (33)

This was the first time Ji Zai had ever seen Yan Ge smoke to relieve her sorrow. As it munched on melon seeds, it observed Yan Ge with excited eyes that could hardly cover up the gloating.

Seeing how her eyes fell on that indescribable part of Qi Yuan, its heart shook and immediately asked her: "You're not yet satisfied?"

After the first cigarette was finished, Yan Ge held another in her mouth and spoke to Ji Zai through her divine consciousness: "Didn't you say the system blocked indescribable images? You're actually watching people's movements so closely, aren't you afraid your eyes will grow corns?"

Before Ji Zai could respond, she said, as if to herself: "Oh, I overlooked something, you were already a corn. Growing a few more won't make a difference¹."

Ji Zai immediately jumped to its feet in anger: "I've told you I'm not a chicken! You're a stupid blockhead. How many times did I tell you the sibling route wouldn't work? Look where you are right now. If it didn't feel good, then just say so. Why are you taking it out on me? Believe it or not, Laozi will eat you."

"Do you have that ability?"

Ji Zai: "I don't have the ability, but I also haven't been eaten several times by a beast..."

Come on, let's hurt each other!

Yan Ge interrupted it: "Don’t be a long-winded chicken. Tell me, did you watch us do those things? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Ji Zai stuck out its head and cried: "You're not ashamed, so why should Laozi be ashamed?"

Yan Ge said nothing.

Her reaction wasn't normal at all. Ji Zai held up its neck for a long time as it waited for a retort but could only resentfully pull back in the end. Pretending to be casual, it asked: "What are you planning on doing now?"

"Cut his thing off." Yan Ge's voice was cold: "Shave his head bald, shave all his hair, then lock him up in the house and force him to call me big sister every day until he properly recognizes his identity as my little brother. Only then will I let him out."

A woman's heart is the most poisonous!!

Her eerie tone terrified Ji Zai. Its entire body trembled when it spoke up hesitantly: "The host lives in a society ruled by the law. You'll be breaking the law by doing this. The host is a law-abiding citizen. Your extreme approach will cause the system mission task to fail and you won't get any rewards."

How could Yan Ge not know this? She was only venting.

She was so depressed that she didn't even want to care about Ji Zai. After closing off her divine consciousness, she drew in another hard mouthful of smoke. Her brows were furrowed as she stared at the neon-colored lights outside the window.

The box of cigarettes was gone in a flash. She got up to leave and paid no attention to the slumbering Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was lying on his side as his gaze followed Yan Ge's back. He had never seen her smoke before, nor had he ever seen such a desolate profile.

Was it that hard to be with him?

He couldn't understand. He just couldn't understand what this woman was insisting on.

He saw that she was about to leave and always had the illusion that she would never return if she opened that door. As a result, he immediately jumped off the bed and ran over to hug her.

"Jie... Jie." He lowered his head and rubbed his face against her shoulder. There was a tone of pleading in his hushed whisper: "Jie, I really, really like you. Please give me a chance to take care of you. I swear, I will never ever betray you. I will never be like Wang Xiuming. Jie, can you think it over for me? I really won't betray you."

Yan Ge who was on the way to grab a knife from the kitchen: "..."
