Imprisoned by Forced Love! The Yandere Disciple Tied My Hands and Told Me to Be Good - Chapter 12

The rain of blood did not extinguish the fire. Instead, it fanned the embers of the black flames. Within a mere moment, the fire had incinerated the entire mountain, leaving it barren of grass and devoid of life.

Mu Chenyuan, witnessing this scene, remained relatively unfazed. After all, he was the Demon Venerable and the male lead; it was only natural for his combat power to be high. However, he noticed Jiu Li beside him was shaking like a leaf.

“Why are you so timid?” Mu Chenyuan had felt something was off with Jiu Li since earlier. Even a natural coward shouldn’t be terrified to this extent.

“It’s not that…” Jiu Li explained tremulously. “You probably don’t know how terrifying the Venerable is when his demonic energy erupts…” Before he could finish, Jiu Li crouched down with his hands over his head, looking like a criminal being apprehended. He held his head and muttered incessantly, “Don’t kill me… don’t kill me…”

Mu Chenyuan couldn’t help but frown. Was Yue Qi really that bloodthirsty?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the System popped up to give him a definitive answer: That’s right. Don’t let his role as the male lead fool you; he’s more of a villain than the actual villains. After all, he was severely abused as a child, so his personality was already twisted. He finally found someone who offered him redemption, only to have you lie to him as well. Add to that the fact that he lost his heart, and he’s now as dark as it gets.

“But I feel like… he’s okay? I don’t see him as being that dark.” At the very least, over the past two days, Mu Chenyuan felt Yue Qi had treated him decently aside from being… well, you know.

If you don’t believe it, Host, then just keep watching.

Mu Chenyuan had no choice but to continue watching. On the storm-swept mountain peak, Yue Qi had been ten feet away from Yu Jinyao just a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, he teleported directly in front of him. He raised a sharp skeletal claw and viciously seized Yu Jinyao by the throat. His black fingernails, sharp as blades, sank directly into the other man’s flesh. Countless winding trails of blood flowed down Yue Qi’s fingers.

Yu Jinyao was strangled to the point of near-suffocation. Even after mobilizing all his demonic power, he could not break free from Yue Qi’s one-handed grip.

Is this the massive gap between the Body Integration stage and the Tribulation Transcendence stage?

Despite being separated by three entire realms of cultivation, he was suppressed by a single hand until he couldn’t move! Yu Jinyao could feel Yue Qi’s killing intent, and he had long heard of Yue Qi’s reputation for being bloodthirsty. Driven by a fierce will to survive, he immediately offered a strategy for self-preservation: “Venerable, wait… I have… something that can make you…”

Yu Jinyao had practiced the Hehe Art for years; naturally, he possessed every type of medicinal pill in the world.

Hearing this, Yue Qi still showed no intention of letting go. “I have those medicines as well.” Though he had them, Yue Qi had never thought of using them except for the Fuchun Pill, and that was only to soothe the other’s pain.

Even after being flatly rejected, Yu Jinyao pulled a small jade bottle from his chest and handed it over. He told Yue Qi via telepathy: “This medicine of mine is different from yours. It can… let you recover your sensations in that regard. I know that since you lost your heart, your physical desires have become quite dull, including…”

Yue Qi silently took the bottle, and the strength with which he was choking Yu Jinyao finally loosened slightly. It was true that he felt far less than he used to. In the past, simply seeing his Master from a distance would make him ache with longing. Yet last night, he was able to restrain himself the entire night. While he claimed he wanted to wait for his Master to adjust and that was indeed one of the reasons the bigger reason was that he lacked that raw impulse.

Of course, forcing the issue was an option, but if he forced it, his Master would be unwilling, and he wouldn’t feel good either.

Having taken the medicine, Yue Qi tossed Yu Jinyao carelessly into the air. His other hand, the one not holding the bottle, suddenly summoned a beam of black light that flew toward Yu Jinyao. With a “squelch,” the black light brutally severed one of Yu Jinyao’s arms!

Instantly, blood sprayed everywhere. The severed stump was a mangled mess of flesh a gruesome sight. Yu Jinyao was powerless to resist; a piercing scream escaped his lips, echoing through the air. He and his severed arm fell straight down into the bottomless abyss.

Yue Qi vanished from the spot instantly. With his departure, the red rain stopped abruptly. The sky cleared, and the dark clouds dispersed. However, the scorched and barren mountain peak could never be restored.

Mu Chenyuan, having witnessed the scene, finally believed the System’s words. He couldn’t help but complain: “Just because the guy called me a scumbag, he cuts off his arm? And the original owner was a scumbag, anyway.”

[I told you, the male lead’s personality is extremely violent. Aside from you, he treats everyone else with this attitude.]

Mu Chenyuan had to lament once again—Yanderes were truly terrifying! If this were the real world, he would definitely put such a person on his blacklist! Not just him; probably no one could accept a boyfriend like that.

Mu Chenyuan then asked the System: “You saw it too just now, right? Yu Jinyao gave him a bottle of something it seemed to be medicine? It couldn’t be that kind of medicine, could it?”

Yup. The System admitted it bluntly. [It’s that kind of medicine, but it’s not for you to take.

“Not for me?”

This medicine is to increase the ‘Gong’ (Top) body’s physical desire. Didn’t you gouge out the male lead’s heart? Because of that, his sensations in that area vanished. Otherwise, do you think he could have restrained himself until now without touching you? With this medicine, it can help him recover to his peak state. Not only will it let you feel good, but he’ll feel good too.

Mu Chenyuan finally saw the truth. This wasn’t a love rival! This was clearly a medicine-delivery tool!

He felt a surge of rage: “He’s been handsy every single day even when he has no sensation! If he gets his feelings back, will I even survive?! Won’t I be **** by him twenty-four hours a day?!”

The System used its tired old excuse to comfort him: [Host, fifty million yuan. Just bear with it a bit longer.

Mu Chenyuan looked like he had lost the will to live. It truly fit the saying—”Life gave me the middle finger, and I sat on it with a smile.” For the sake of the money, he would endure! As long as he could go back, he would still be a straight man!

To make him feel better, the System added: [Actually, Yu Jinyao’s appearance isn’t entirely a negative. He can help you complete your next task.

“Is that so? How?”

I can’t spoil that. When the time comes, you’ll naturally know.

Still keeping secrets! You’re just taking advantage of the fact that I haven’t read the book.

Yue Qi had not forgotten for a moment that his Master wanted to eat barbecue. However, most of the animals in the mountains had been tainted by his demonic energy and died. Not only were they dead, but even their carcasses had been burned to nothingness by his black flames. Even the plants hadn’t been spared.

His Master’s passing comment about wanting barbecue had truly become a self-fulfilling curse. Left with no choice, Yue Qi had to go to Crescent City at the foot of the mountain to buy some. But after scouring a dozen streets, he couldn’t find any that were already roasted.

Originally, he had intended to get raw meat and roast it himself so his Master could eat something made by his own hands. However, it was already late; he feared his Master wouldn’t be able to wait if he started roasting now. Furthermore, he had no sense of taste; if the flavor didn’t suit his Master’s palate, it would only make him unhappy again. In the end, he bought some raw meat to bring back and grill.

On the way back, he took out the medicine Yu Jinyao had given him and poured a pill into his hand. Examining the pill closely, Yue Qi felt suspicious. He cracked it open with a fingernail, and a tiny black insect was hidden inside.

It was a Gu. Specifically, a Companion Gu. In other words, the medicine had to be swallowed along with the Gu insect for it to take effect.

Seeing this, Yue Qi did not get angry. Instead, a slight smile played at the corners of his mouth. He poured out a second pill and swallowed it without hesitation. He knew exactly what Yu Jinyao was planning.

But it didn’t matter. Even if he were to be gnawed by Gu insects, he wanted to taste in the truest sense the flavor of possession.
