Imprisoned by Forced Love! The Yandere Disciple Tied My Hands and Told Me to Be Good - Chapter 25

Previously, Mu Chenyuan felt that what Yue Qi felt wasn’t love. At this moment, however, he was wavering in an incredibly bizarre way.

As for what love actually was, he didn’t understand it either. No one had ever given him love, and no one had ever told him what true love looked like. The only time he remembered being loved was five years ago in a torrential downpour, when he was saved by his “July.” That was the only time he felt that there was a being in this world who cared about him.

Holding Yue Qi’s body, Mu Chenyuan descended vertically to the ground. By the time they landed, the rain had lessened considerably. Without the obstruction of the heavy rain, Mu Chenyuan finally saw that Yue Qi’s face was also covered in cracks. His entire body looked like a mirror about to shatter; perhaps in the next moment, it would completely fall apart.

Yue Qi quickly captured Mu Chenyuan’s worried and pained expression, and he actually began to smile through the cracks.

“So, Master truly does care for me.”

“I…”

Mu Chenyuan wanted to deny it, but the words wouldn’t come out. His thoughts were intercepted by Yue Qi.

“Do you know why I don’t hate you?”

“When I first fell into the demonic path, I would often faint from the pain of the demonic energy tearing my body apart. But in my daze, I felt someone holding me, telling me they were sorry with such heartbreak…”

“I always fantasized that the person was Master…”

“Perhaps it really was just my fantasy… but even so, I will never let Master leave me again…”

What could Mu Chenyuan say? Facing such an extreme yandere, he had nothing to say.

【Host, your mission you haven’t forgotten it, have you?】

The system’s voice popped up in his head again. To be honest, from the moment he obtained his natal sword, Mu Chenyuan hadn’t thought about the mission once. Fortunately, the most reliable parts of this “god-tier” system were its reminder and explanation functions—especially the reminder function!

Mu Chenyuan realized instantly that his mission was about to fail. Because Yue Qi hadn’t died; he had caught up.

However, that wasn’t necessarily the case. Yue Qi currently showed massive damage to both his body and soul. Even if his cultivation was much higher than his own, perhaps if he took advantage of the moment while he was off-guard and gave him a full-strength strike with the sword…

But Mu Chenyuan quickly dismissed this plan in his heart.

The system, however, urged him: 【Don’t go soft-hearted now, Host! Besides this method, there is no other way to complete this mission.】

【The male protagonist will recover his body and soul very soon. Once he has recovered, you will have absolutely no chance.】

【Do you think he will let you take Wei Lingyu away? Or do you think he will proactively release him?】

【Are you really going to watch this mission fail? That will lead to the failure of all your subsequent missions; you’ll never be able to go back, you won’t get your prize money, and you’ll end up dying under the male protagonist!】

The system continued its earnest persuasion, but Mu Chenyuan remained hesitant. And that hesitation indeed led directly to him losing his final opportunity.

Just as the system said, the cracks on Yue Qi’s body began to heal. It seemed he had already repaired his soul. As for those physical cracks, after the soul was repaired, it took less than five seconds for his body to return to its original state!

Once recovered, the first thing Yue Qi did was grab Mu Chenyuan’s wrist and look at him with a smile. “Master didn’t run just now, and you didn’t attack me either. You truly care for me, don’t you?”

“I originally intended to punish Master’s behavior of running away, but I’ve thought about it—I can’t always punish you… I’ll reward Master this time. Therefore, I won’t seal your spiritual veins.”

“As for the natal sword…”

“Master’s sword was once broken for my sake. I spent a hundred years finding and reassembling the shards of the sword and hid it in Crescent Moon City, intending to return it to Master in a while.”

“But since Master found it early, you might as well keep it.”

“However, the Soul-Tethering Chain…”

Before Yue Qi finished speaking, Mu Chenyuan saw the silver chain reappear on his wrist.

“You—”

“I said I would not let Master leave me again. Even if you don’t love me, I will lock you by my side by force!”

Mu Chenyuan suddenly felt like “The Farmer and the Snake.” He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted!! Why did he fall for this again because of that damn softness!

Fortunately, Yue Qi hadn’t sealed his spiritual veins this time. He used his maximum spiritual power to jolt the chain, trying to shatter it. But he found the Soul-Tethering Chain remained completely indifferent, without a single scratch.

“Master, don’t waste your strength.”

Seeing through Mu Chenyuan’s intent, Yue Qi said leisurely, “A lock fastened to the soul cannot be broken unless there is something capable of devouring the soul.”

His wicked, fox-like eyes were filled with triumph. And the more triumphant Yue Qi was, the more Mu Chenyuan regretted his hesitation and soft-heartedness from moments ago.

But who could blame him? He just couldn’t control this major character flaw of his. He clearly knew what kind of person Yue Qi was, and he clearly knew that being soft-hearted would lead to bad consequences…

Fine. He wasn’t a child anymore. If he made a wrong choice, he had to bear the corresponding price.

Mu Chenyuan suddenly gave a liberated smile. “Yue Qi, can I make a deal with you?”

“A deal?” Yue Qi narrowed his eyes. “How does Master want to trade?”

“Release Wei Lingyu. He is my Martial Nephew, after all.”

“In exchange, I will voluntarily give myself to you once…”

“Really?” Yue Qi didn’t care at all about what the conditions were. “Now?”

“I said I want you to release Wei Lingyu. Didn’t you hear…”

“If you want him released, then he’s released. What’s so hard about that?”

“But didn’t he… don’t you hate him?”

“I do. But no hatred is more important than obtaining Master.”

“I can give up everything for Master.”

As expected, this is what a top-tier love-brain is like.

Mu Chenyuan was afraid that Yue Qi would go back on his word after getting what he wanted, so he added a condition: “Release him first, then I will give it to you.”

“Mhm, okay.”

Yue Qi agreed decisively. He sent a voice transmission to Jiu Li: “Go to Chunyu Establishment, release Wei Lingyu, and send him out of Crescent Moon City.”

He deliberately let Mu Chenyuan hear the voice transmission. But even so, Mu Chenyuan didn’t trust Yue Qi. He intended to wait for the system to give the prompt that the mission was complete before fulfilling his promise.

However, he completely underestimated Yue Qi’s impatience.

After sending the transmission, Yue Qi couldn’t wait any longer. He grabbed Mu Chenyuan’s hand and pulled him into a dark thicket of trees. Although the rain around them had lessened, it hadn’t stopped. Yue Qi propped up a waterproof barrier and pinned Mu Chenyuan against the thickest, tallest tree.

Though he was hurried, he wasn’t in a rush to strip Mu Chenyuan’s clothes. He simply propped one hand against the tree trunk while the other tenderly cradled Mu Chenyuan’s cheek.

He tilted his head and leaned down. With a scorching, predatory intensity, he pressed his lips into a kiss.
