A Smile From the Villain [BL]

ASV Chapter 40: Let Loose a Breath

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

Human life ah, it could actually be so lonesome and quiet like snowfall.

Qin Kaiyi, dressed in a white coat and holding a liquor bottle made of gourd, sat on a tall ancient tree. Was it strong grief showing in his eyes that made him survey the distance? That atmosphere of a prick acting pretentious really made people not dare to look straight at the scene.

"Alas, why is this world so lonely," Qin Kaiyi exclaimed with a long sigh.

"... you are really getting more and more bored." Upon hearing Qin Kaiyi's words, blue veins burst out on Yan Gu's forehead: "I say Qin Shi, the pit in your head is really getting bigger and bigger. The things Qing Xuzi said to you just now, you didn't give a reaction?"

"Give what reaction?" Qin Kaiyi looked half dead. Although he knew that the existence of the system defied the heavens, he didn't imagine that the system could actually change the thoughts of the people around him. Under normal circumstances, since he had suffered such serious injuries in the secret realm and Qing Xuzi so deeply cared for him, the task of finding spiritual grass for medicine would never fall on his lap. But when Qing Xuzi, with a serious face, told him that he had to find that spiritual grass, he finally understood what the wheels of history meant.

If you don't follow history, you will be squished to death by its wheels.

"You're not going to go out just like this?" Yan Gu's expression seemed like he himself would be angry and regretful if he didn't make Qin Kaiyi do something about his situation. "You have to rise up, rise up you know? With your current circumstances if you go out to find that tens of thousands of years old Sky South Bamboo something, it's just looking for death!!! "

"I'm not going to die." Qin Kaiyi paused and said: "I... don't I still have you."

"..." Yan Gu was speechless for a while. After a while, his voice was hoarse: "Qin Shi, I can't be trusted. Your shizu also had me, but in the end..."

"Dead?" Qin Kaiyi took another sip of wine.

Yan Gu's silence told Qin Kaiyi his answer.

"... He, what kind of person was he?" Qin Kaiyi suddenly became interested in this person who Yan Gu always spoke of and missed. In the novel, he did not spend too much pen and ink to describe Xue Xian, so he was not clear about what happened between Yan Gu and Xue Xian.

"Him ah, he was also a moron." Yan Gu smiled: "He was exactly like you. In order to protect what he wanted to protect... he could end up not wanting anything else, he could give up caring for anything else."

What a vague description. Qin Kaiyi lost the patience needed to get to the heart of the matter. He hung the wine pot on his waist and was about to jump off the tree, when he suddenly heard a small voice from a short distance.

"You must be careful this time when you go out." Liu Ling'er's voice was still soft. The teenage girl was wearing a pink coat and her face was full of worries. "Shixiong will not harm you... You... also shouldn't worry too much. "

Qin Kaiyi looked closely and found that the person standing opposite Liu Ling'er and conversing with her was actually Shen Feixiao. Without knowing why, the moment Qin Kaiyi saw this scene, a coolness suddenly rushed forth in his heart. He would not forget that one of the items on the program was Liu Ling'er betrayal of him in the future.

"Got it, shimei." Without experiencing further abuse and having practiced the Mountain Cloud Notes, Shen Feixiao seemed more mature despite being so young... If one were to use Qin Kaiyi's words to describe him, it would be–wang ba. (T/N: Used often in web novels. When outstanding men see him they'll become his little brothers, when haughty women see him they'll be subdued by his heroic spirit. Wang ba also has mocking overtones).
