Chapter 293: Tired of Killing Yet?

Qin Yumei, hiding behind a tree, was initially full of excitement. But now, she was terrified.

Su Youyue did not act as Qin Yumei had anticipated—weak and helpless, pushed to the ground by Lu Song. Instead, she chased after Lu Song, threw out her hand with an eerie gesture, and effortlessly knocked him down.

"You... What do you want?" Only now did Lu Song feel fear. However, just as he tried to shout for help, two silver needles swiftly pierced his throat and face, leaving him able to make only gurgling sounds.

After subduing him, Su Youyue did not immediately proceed further. She stood up and looked into the distance.

Not far away was a small stream with a shallow layer of water and some small puddles.

She turned back expressionlessly and dragged the man toward the stream.

Qin Yumei, hiding at a distance, hesitated. Instinctively wanting to avoid danger and leave this place of trouble, her jealousy towards Su Youyue surged once again.

If she could catch Su Youyue in a compromising situation, perhaps she could force her to break off the engagement!

Thus, she stopped in her tracks and watched as the girl dragged the man to the water's edge and then, without hesitation, pressed his head into a puddle.

Although the man’s meridians were sealed, his will to survive made him struggle violently.

However, the girl’s eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred, pressing him down firmly.

Even when the man no longer moved, the hatred in her eyes did not diminish.

After a long while, she slowly rose, checked the man’s pulse, and then, seemingly fearless, retrieved her silver needles one by one from the corpse.

"This is too good for you; the water is clean."

She seemed somewhat regretful but also extremely pleased, quickly curling her lips into a smile.

Forgiveness?

How absurd! These people drowned her in her past life and schemed against her in this one, yet they still dared to ask for her forgiveness, hoping she would let bygones be bygones.

The phrase "let bygones be bygones" was too hypocritical; she disliked it. She was not magnanimous; she preferred to make them suffer and regret their actions.

Only by truly making these people feel pain and remorse would she find joy.

She had kept them alive merely waiting for the day they would regret their deeds.

The girl collected her silver needles and leisurely washed her hands in the stream. Her small, fair hands looked delicate and boneless, with clear droplets falling from her fingertips—a scene of exquisite beauty.

Yet Qin Yumei, hiding behind the tree, found it increasingly unsettling!

She never expected that Su Youyue would actually dare to kill!

With events unfolding this way, everything was completely out of her control. She trembled violently, her heart pounding in her throat, drenched in cold sweat.

Su Youyue was a madwoman!

She cursed inwardly, watching the girl walk back, nearly passing by her spot. She quickly moved her feet quietly.

But in the next moment, she accidentally stepped on a dry twig. At that instant, her heart froze, a chill racing up her spine to her skull.

The forest fell silent again, but the silence only intensified Qin Yumei’s trembling.

Until suddenly, the girl’s voice was right beside her: "I almost forgot about you."

Qin Yumei was about to scream, but the girl suddenly covered her mouth.

What did she mean? What did she mean by forgetting her?

Qin Yumei felt that Su Youyue was insane, and she herself was about to lose her mind.

She struggled fiercely to break free, wanting to shout for help. At this moment, her regret for provoking Su Youyue reached its peak. Just as she opened her mouth again, another hand covered it, and someone suddenly restrained her, preventing any movement.

Su Youyue, seeing Zhe Ying and another dark guard appear before her, realized belatedly that Xie Yuan had always sent someone to protect her.

She smiled. "Zhe Ying, lend me your sword."

The young man immediately drew his sword. "Madam, please."

Su Youyue took the sword and slowly approached Qin Yumei.

Qin Yumei shook her head in terror, seeming to beg for mercy.

Su Youyue stared straight at her, showing no hesitation. With a swift swing of the sword, blood splattered onto her hand.

Watching the woman slowly breathe her last, she returned the sword to Zhe Ying and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

She knew Zhe Ying would take care of everything here.

But the blood on her hands was too much, and one handkerchief could not clean it all.

Halfway through wiping, a wet handkerchief was suddenly offered from the side.

Thinking it was Zhe Ying, Su Youyue said, "Thank you."

But the person did not give her the handkerchief; instead, he directly helped her wipe her hands. Looking up in surprise, she saw that it was Xie Yuan.

He carefully wiped each of her fingers clean before letting go, asking nothing but instructing the guards, "Clean up."

"Yes!" Zhe Ying responded and led several others to quickly dispose of the two bodies.

In no time, the area was restored to its previous cleanliness.

Su Youyue lowered her gaze, her thoughts swirling. She had not yet figured out how to explain this.

Xie Yuan did not ask her anything: "Go back first. Your sister and Miss Xiao are looking for you everywhere."

Su Youyue nodded and followed the man, watching his broad shoulders. After the waves of joy subsided, she suddenly stepped forward and gently wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

"Xie Yuan, I killed someone."

Would he dislike her for this?

Up until now, Su Youyue had never considered whether Xie Yuan would like what she had done. Even in her previous life when she liked him, she never thought about it.

If someone had told her this before, she would have scoffed at the idea. Why should she change herself to please others?

She never realized that when one truly falls in love, even the most confident person can become insecure and uncertain.

Would he dislike her for this?

Would he find her troublesome?

Would he leave her?

The little madwoman had now turned into a pitiful bundle.

If Xie Yuan dared to leave her, she would do as she did in her previous life—take him by force and force him to be with her!

The man stopped walking, held her hands that were around his waist, and turned to face her, embracing her in return.

"Good kill."

He held her and stroked her head as if soothing a kitten.

"Are you tired from killing? If you are, rest for a while. If there's anyone else you want dead, tell me, and I'll do it for you."

Su Youyue, still in his embrace, widened her eyes.

She never expected Xie Yuan to react this way.

Is it really okay for him to be so supportive of her actions!

She wasn't someone who killed innocents; today's murder was merely for revenge.

But her wavering heart instantly settled, as if it too had been carefully embraced.

Her nose tingled, but she quickly held back the tears, her eyes reddening as she looked back in the direction they had come.

"No, I will kill them all myself."

She would personally kill all her enemies to avenge her past self!
