In the distance, a beast horde was stampeding.
But at this moment, the people had no time to worry about it. They focused all their attention and gazes on the center of the arena.
After all, beast hordes could happen many times.
But such a spectacular drama was a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
"You don't... don't understand?"
Su Qingyun's beautiful eyes trembled, her large eyes filled with confusion. In her mind, the next scene should have been Senior Brother Su being deeply moved by her solitary courage, leading to a happy ending where he wins the beauty, and she and her Eldest Senior Brother finally become a couple.
What was this situation now?
It was completely different from what she had expected.
She stared blankly at Su Xiao's cold eyes and spoke with a trembling voice:
"Eldest Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"
"I said, I don't understand."
Su Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he repeated himself.
"I don't understand why you like me, nor do I understand this bullshit reason for you liking me, what do you mean you know I'm actually very gentle."
"But Senior Brother Su, you..."
Su Qingyun wanted to say something, but Su Xiao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt her.
He continued talking to himself, acting as if there was no one else around.
"I don't understand."
"Everything I have done in my life has borne evil fruit. Even if I haven't bullied men and oppressed women, my actions are still those of a villain. I am normally wretched and lustful, peeping at others bathing, insulting my fellow disciples, and disrupting the disciple acceptance ceremony like a complete idiot."
"I have never done a single good deed in my life."
"Even I don't like myself, so what do you like about me?" He just quietly stared into Su Qingyun's eyes.
Did he just... out himself?
The entire audience was shocked, looking at each other in dismay.
Even Ye Shu was a bit surprised.
To think that Su Xiao would suddenly say such things. Poor child, he really was pushed too hard by the system.
"But I know that isn't the real you!" Su Qingyun shouted anxiously. "You didn't want to do any of this. You didn't want to do those things at all."
"Heh..."
Seeing that Su Qingyun was still obstinately clinging to her delusions, Su Xiao said indifferently:
"Then let me ask you."
"The things I just mentioned, did I do them or not?"
"You... you did," Su Qingyun said with difficulty.
"Are those things good or bad?"
"They are... bad..."
"But!" Su Qingyun still wanted to retort. Her small face flushed red, sweating profusely from anxiety. "Senior Brother Su, those aren't things you truly wanted to do. Just like when you peeped at others bathing, I know you didn't have any lustful intentions! You bullied your fellow disciples, but in your heart, you didn't feel any joy at all!"
"Senior Brother Su, you were just forced to!"
"In truth, you are a good person with upright morals!"
"Wrong!"
Su Xiao stared at her, his tone carrying a rare seriousness. "That actually makes it truly terrifying!"
"Wh-what?"
Su Qingyun froze, unable to react for a moment.
"If I were just purely evil, that would be one thing. But doing those evil deeds for profit, for my own personal gain, is obviously much more terrifying and wicked."
"Because in my eyes, good and evil can make way for profit. As for whether I felt joy or harbored lustful thoughts when doing those things,"
"That isn't important."
"Because to the people who were hurt, the result is exactly the same. The pain brought upon others doesn't disappear just because I didn't appreciate or enjoy the process, nor does it vanish just because I felt conflicted while doing it."
"Therefore, a version of me like that is actually even more evil!"
"Worse than a true villain."
"Because I knowingly broke the rules and knowingly committed evil!"
"You think I have no control over myself, so that makes me pure and innocent, erasing all my crimes? Then if I had slaughtered a city or exterminated a clan, would you still make excuses for me?"
"The principle of 'do not commit an evil deed simply because it is small'."
"Do you really not understand it?"
"You say you like me? Then you are truly pathetic to the core."
Su Xiao spoke word by word, each syllable striking at the heart. Every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and every word was the absolute truth.
He didn't say these things because he had suddenly discovered his conscience.
It was because the female lead was such an idiot that he couldn't see any possibility of completing his mission.
After this speech, the entire arena was dead silent.
Even though Su Xiao had completely outed himself and abandoned any saintly status.
Ironically, however.
The majority of the people present actually looked at him in a new light because of these remarks.
"Damn, those are some philosophical words."
"Brothers, my brain is frying just listening to this. Can someone explain it to me?"
"I just became a fan, brothers."
Even Ye Shu had to admit that this speech was extremely similar to his own philosophy on how to conduct oneself in the world.
"To think he has the same type of personality as me?"
"Haji-Xiao, I acknowledge you."
Equally shocked was the System.
Wait, why wasn't this host playing by the rules?
He just outed himself like that?
No, he must be stopped!
[Warning! Please maintain your villain persona, Host, or a one-million-volt electric shock reward will be activated.]
"Screw your persona!"
Su Xiao cursed, aggressively raising a middle finger to the void. "You're just a trash system, you aren't worth a damn! The female leads are all subhuman garbage, to hell with following your plot!"
"You know what? I quit!"
"???"
The System was completely dumbfounded.
Did it hear that right? The host was rebelling against the System?
But then they saw Su Xiao suddenly raise his right hand and declare loudly, "I forfeit this tournament."
The audience was in an uproar.
"Senior Brother Su..." Su Qingyun's eyes turned red, her voice choking up as tears instantly filled her eyes. "But... but..."
Seeing that even this hadn't scolded Su Qingyun awake.
Su Xiao finally smiled in relief.
It made sense. If she could like an idiot like him, how normal could this female lead possibly be?
After stripping off the System's constraints.
He had never felt so refreshed and clear-headed before.
"Su Qingyun, I've said my piece."
Su Xiao said indifferently, "I don't need anyone's salvation, nor do I need anyone's affection, because such affection is cheap and laughable."
"Now, hurry up and withdraw this beast horde before you cause a massive disaster."
Su Qingyun shook her head, her eyes blurry with tears, her voice choked with sobs.
"I can't do it. I can't."
"I could only trigger the beast horde. Just like a rolling snowball, once the beast horde begins, those magical beasts will no longer listen to my commands."
Just as her voice fell.
Boom—
A fist the size of a sandbag suddenly slammed into Su Qingyun's delicate face, sending her entire body flying backward. She rolled on the ground a few times, one hand behind her back, her fate unknown.
The entire audience was in an uproar once again.
They saw Ye Shu with a foxtail grass in his mouth, spitting on the ground. "What the hell are you babbling about?"
"Now, it's time for the protagonist to take the stage."
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride. Lin Xuan's eyes light up, eager to pledge his loyalty on the spot, but instead, her kiss transfers a glass of drugged wine into his mouth, causing him to pass out... 【Male Protagonist with Single Female Lead】【Yandere Tycoon】【Action-Packed】【True vs. Fake Heir】
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
