Blame the Villain – Chapter 159

Villainous Malevolent Ghost (13)

Did Bai Yu do something?

After Song Xuyi finished speaking, she froze for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly revealed her difficult-to-speak thoughts in front of Bai Yu. Besides feeling shy, she also felt a bit confused and subconsciously looked toward Bai Yu—

Bai Yu seemed to sense the confusion in Song Xuyi’s eyes and bit her lower lip, her eyes showing obvious guilt: “Xuyi, your earlier appearance seemed to suggest you had some unmentionable secret. I… I was worried you had difficulties but were unwilling to tell me, so I used a method to make you speak the truth—”

“I just now remembered that your time and space is not the same as mine. My actions were indeed a bit presumptuous. I know I was wrong and won’t do it again next time.”

Song Xuyi also froze for a moment.

She initially just found such things a bit strange, her mind somewhat chaotic, yet she didn’t expect Bai Yu to directly admit the mistake, and her attitude in admitting the mistake was extremely proper. A dignified great metaphysics master behaving so humbly in front of her, Song Xuyi didn’t even have time to get angry, as her anger was snuffed out in the cradle.

Song Xuyi involuntarily recalled the scene she saw in her dream of Bai Yu interacting with her younger brother. At that time, her brother had secretly eaten preserved fruit and was unwilling to admit it. Bai Yu patted his head, and then her brother suddenly confessed to stealing and eating the preserved fruit, his face turning bright red with shame.

Bai Yu, being young yet holding a high position, must have some scheming means to command respect. Perhaps Bai Yu also regarded herself as her junior, which led to her subconscious actions.

Thinking this way, Song Xuyi forgave Bai Yu’s behavior but did not forget to emphasize the importance of privacy with a stern face, telling Bai Yu: “This time, let it go, but Bai Yu, you must never use such means in modern times again! After all, some things are others’ privacy, and excessively probing into others’ privacy is not right…”

Bai Yu, as always, obediently and politely blinked her eyes, sincerely agreeing with a full face of earnestness.

Song Xuyi felt that Bai Yu truly recognized her mistake, so she let the matter go and continued packing her things. Bai Yu stood beside her, seemingly thoughtful as she looked at those books. After a while, she squatted down and quietly helped Song Xuyi organize.

On the surface, Bai Yu appeared calm, yet only Bai Yu knew that her inner feelings were not as composed as she appeared.

Happiness, joy, excitement…

It had been a long time since Bai Yu felt this kind of excitement. The last time she experienced such complex joy was in the distant past when she first killed an evil spirit.

As she grew older, it seemed that the threshold for happiness became higher and higher, and the shackles binding Bai Yu also increased: everyone worshiped her, calling her a genius. Everyone hoped that Bai Yu would protect them. She didn’t dare to stop, fulfilling her duties, and even forgot that she herself was also a person, who needed gentleness and care.

Things she didn’t dare to hope for in life, she hadn’t expected that after death someone would be willing to give them to her.

Bai Yu’s lips couldn’t help but curl up into a smile.

She told herself that she shouldn’t smile at a time like this, but she couldn’t resist the upward curve of her lips as she looked toward Song Xuyi—

All her suspicion and mania were smoothed over, replaced by the ever-deepening possessiveness of a vengeful ghost lingering in her heart:

Bai Yu couldn’t help but recall the movie she saw on Song Xuyi’s tablet. The scene that initially made Bai Yu feel shy now, when remembered, made her blood boil. She really… wanted so much to hold Xuyi in her arms and physically show her just how much she truly loves her…

“What is it?”

Bai Yu’s gaze was too present, and Song Xuyi couldn’t help but lift her head, only to see Bai Yu’s slightly upturned lips.

She… indeed was mocking her!

Probably all the heavenly masters in the world together couldn’t compare to even one of her fingers, yet she still dared to overestimate herself and say she wanted to protect her—

Song Xuyi couldn’t help but blush, letting out a dry cough: “I also know that this idea of mine is somewhat laughable, and I know even more that at my current stage I can’t help you with anything, so I only dare to think about it in my heart, but I really want to learn metaphysics—”

Beyond Song Xuyi’s expectations, even though Bai Yu was still smiling, she seriously denied Song Xuyi’s words: “It’s not laughable!”

“Xuyi, I am very grateful.” She raised her eyes, looking into Song Xuyi’s clear eyes: “You are serious and persistent in what you do, with a heart that is clear and purely good; you are a good candidate for learning metaphysics.”

Song Xuyi didn’t expect to hear such an evaluation and was surprised, blushing with some joy in her heart: after all, this was affirmation from a figure at the level of an ancestral grandmother…

“And Xuyi, you don’t need to wait until later; you can help me now,” Bai Yu lowered her eyes, holding Song Xuyi’s wrist, and looked at the curse stone on Song Xuyi’s hand: “Very few people know that in a symbiotic relationship, the living are respected. As the relationship between the two deepens, the bond between them will grow stronger and stronger. As long as you are injured, I will also feel pain; if you die, I will soon join you in the underworld…”

“So, Xuyi, protecting yourself well is the greatest help you can give me.”

“Then, wouldn’t it mean that when my lifespan ends, you will also go to the underworld?” Song Xuyi noticed another crucial point, not expecting this ‘symbiosis’ relationship to have such a bond: clearly, as a guardian deity, Bai Yu could still exist in the world for millions of years. Not to mention that after completing her task, she might leave this world. Even if she lived to a hundred years old, only a few decades would remain for Bai Yu, which seemed somewhat unfair to Bai Yu.

“Is there a way to remove this kind of symbiosis?” Song Xuyi’s heart was extremely anxious, and she couldn’t help but ask out loud.

“…There is.” Seeing Song Xuyi’s anxious expression, Bai Yu’s eyes filled with deeper joy, as she enjoyed the happiness of being looked at by Xuyi with complete devotion. After pausing for a while, she slowly spoke to clarify: “Xuyi, actually, as a guardian deity living in this world, it is not a kind of mercy for me…”

When Bai Yu first stayed by Song Xuyi’s side, she originally intended to use the symbiosis to heal her injuries and then remove it later. But after discovering her affection for Xuyi, Bai Yu suddenly felt that symbiosis was an extremely wonderful contract: what could be more beautiful than living and dying together with the one you love?

Bai Yu really understood Song Xuyi well. After she spoke this way, Song Xuyi was silent for a moment and indeed did not persuade her to remove the symbiosis.

“As for your learning of spellcraft,” Bai Yu’s eyes held a dark, flowing hue, and she suddenly thought of something, squinting her eyes meaningfully: “After all, I am idle with nothing to do, so I wonder if Xuyi would be willing to learn from me?”

In the following days, after everything was settled, Song Xuyi began her cohabitation life with Bai Yu in the apartment.

Song Xuyi still had classes to attend at school, needed to start preparing her graduation thesis, and also needed to learn metaphysics and prepare for interviews, making her life extremely busy.

However, it is worth mentioning that since she became Bai Yu’s apprentice, Song Xuyi’s progress in metaphysics advanced rapidly. After only a few days of practice, she felt her overall constitution had improved significantly, and even under high academic pressure, she rarely felt tired, and her memory had also improved considerably.

During these days, Bai Yu was also very understanding and tactful. Except for when she was teaching Song Xuyi metaphysics, she would quietly sit on the nearby sofa playing on her phone while Song Xuyi studied other things. Once, when Song Xuyi walked by, she glimpsed Bai Yu seemingly watching emotional-type video lectures. Although she was very curious about what Bai Yu was watching, she adhered to the principle of respecting privacy and did not investigate further.

Moreover, Song Xuyi actually, in these past few days, somewhat dared not to have too much contact with Bai Yu.

While Bai Yu was teaching Song Xuyi metaphysics, the two inevitably had some physical contact. Song Xuyi didn’t know what was happening to her; at first, it was okay, but probably because she had been dreaming about kissing Bai Yu these nights, in the past couple of days, whenever Bai Yu touched Song Xuyi’s skin, she felt her whole body tingling and numb, her legs weak, and these symptoms became more and more frequent.

With this secret in her heart, Song Xuyi doubled her investment in her studies. She couldn’t be cold to Bai Yu either; Bai Yu needed Song Xuyi’s help to get familiar with modern society, and their interaction was very tacit: Bai Yu’s registered social software had only Song Xuyi as a friend; once Song Xuyi returned from class, the door would always open from the inside before she took out her key; when Song Xuyi finished studying, the bathtub would be filled with hot water…

Bai Yu’s various considerate and dependent behaviors gave Song Xuyi a trance-like sense of mission: Bai Yu’s world only had her, and if she were cold to Bai Yu, then Bai Yu’s world would lose its center.

Days passed like this for nearly a month.

Bai Yu was once an immortal master revered by thousands, and her heart certainly holds great sentiments. She shouldn’t be confined to this residence because of herself.

Thinking this way, Song Xuyi began to indirectly inquire if there were other methods to allow a guardian deity to leave the host family. However, whether it was due to a guilty conscience or something else, on the second night after she started inquiring about methods, the content of Song Xuyi’s dreams changed:

At first, Song Xuyi still dreamt of kissing Bai Yu, but this time Bai Yu appeared particularly resentful and even couldn’t help but bite Song Xuyi’s lip—

Song Xuyi let out a low cry in her sleep and immediately fell into a strange dream:

With the sound of gongs and drums clamoring, Song Xuyi found herself sitting in a big red bridal sedan chair, arriving at the Bai family she had seen in her dreams before.

The Bai family was decorated with lanterns and streamers, holding many banquet tables outside, as if a wedding was taking place.

Amidst the noisy guests, Song Xuyi, in a trance, found herself at the ceremonial hall.

In the ceremonial hall, inexplicably, there was only Bai Yu’s mother, with her father’s seat vacant, but that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Song Xuyi discovered that the person getting married was Bai Yu.

Song Xuyi had always known that Bai Yu was exceedingly beautiful. She was accustomed to seeing Bai Yu in her sacred appearance wearing white clothes, but now, Bai Yu in red clothes was a different kind of beauty: the red-clothed Bai Yu was flamboyant and enchanting, incredibly captivating.

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

Someone behind gave Song Xuyi a push, breaking her daze: “Immortal Master Bai Yu is getting married. Why don’t you go over to congratulate?”

Congratulate?

Song Xuyi’s heart trembled, and she later realized and reacted: is this dream about Bai Yu getting married?

Song Xuyi then noticed a person in red clothes standing beside Bai Yu, but she couldn’t clearly see that person’s face.

Realizing it was Bai Yu getting married, even though knowing it was a dream, Song Xuyi’s heart still felt an indescribable discomfort.

Bai Yu will eventually have someone she likes; such a good person like her shouldn’t grow old alone.

Perhaps, having this dream was my subconscious reminding me not to sink any deeper.

Thinking this way, Song Xuyi decided to make a break in the dream, endured the discomfort in her heart, took two steps forward, and forced a smile: “Bai Yu, congratulations on your marriage.”

However, on the wedding day, Bai Yu did not look happy. She looked coldly at Song Xuyi, her eyes seemed to burn with flames, as if trying hard to suppress anger, and her words sounded somewhat sarcastic: “Xuyi, are you so happy to see me getting married?”

“You are so good, you finally found someone you like, someone who can accompany you for life, I naturally feel happy.” In close contact with Bai Yu, Song Xuyi felt even sadder, yet she continued to keep a smile on her face, pretending to be joyful as she looked at Bai Yu.

Song Xuyi thought she had maintained her dignity in the dream, but Bai Yu looked even more unhappy, her lips tightly pressed into a line, and Song Xuyi even felt that Bai Yu’s eyes seemed about to shoot out fire.

Song Xuyi inexplicably felt somewhat guilty and unconsciously shrank back a bit.

Bai Yu pursed her lips, her eyes slightly narrowed, while another red-clothed person with an unclear face, who had been silent beside her, suddenly spoke: “Song Xuyi, how do you really view Bai Yu? You have been in contact with her day and night, haven’t you felt moved at all?”

It is probably the subconscious wanting Bai Yu to like women, so the unclear-faced person had a female voice, which sounded very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before…

Sure enough, it came!

But Song Xuyi did not delve into why she found this voice familiar; her heart had long been prepared: since this is a dream that will sever her covetous thoughts towards Bai Yu, she will naturally face challenges from Bai Yu’s other half.

But Song Xuyi was prepared.

She took a deep breath and lowered her head: “Immortal Master Bai Yu’s metaphysical skills are superb and her elegance unmatched. I admire her immensely. Indeed, I once had covetous thoughts towards the Immortal Master, but I know she is beyond my reach. Henceforth, I will wholeheartedly regard the Immortal Master as an elder and treat her with the respect due to an ancestor—”

“I swear…” Song Xuyi hadn’t finished saying the words ‘I swear’ when the surrounding perspective suddenly changed, and Bai Yu suddenly leaned down and blocked her mouth…

“This is your wedding!” Song Xuyi was greatly shocked: how could Bai Yu do such a thing in front of the bride?

Even though it was a dream, Song Xuyi still desperately struggled to push Bai Yu away, even going so far as to bite Bai Yu’s lip, yet she found the surrounding guests all watching her with teasing expressions: “Haha, the bride is shy!”

Bride?

Song Xuyi’s eyes widened as she realized she was now in the bride’s position. In a trance, she remembered why that voice felt familiar just now—it was clearly her own voice!

What is this dream about?

Has my covetousness towards Bai Yu really grown this deep?

Song Xuyi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Bai Yu, only to see Bai Yu looking at her with a gloomy face, an expression of both anger and annoyance—

Song Xuyi shrank a bit, as the guilty feeling grew stronger, and just as she was planning to strive to come out of this strange dream, suddenly everything in front of her began to turn into an illusion—

“F*ck with that ancestor grandmother!”

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

In a trance, Song Xuyi seemed to hear a low curse, and then once again fell into that familiar, shameful dream of being harshly kissed by Bai Yu—

Song Xuyi felt hot and flustered, her toes curled up, and she no longer had time to think about that strange dream she just had—

That must really have been a dream.

Otherwise, how could she hear the noble, proud, and self-disciplined Bai Yu utter such a vulgar curse?


The author has something to say:

Dabai (●—●): It’s too difficult for me!

She told me not to peek into her privacy, so I could only create a dream to ask her. She said it herself, so it doesn’t count as peeking into her privacy…

But, this ancestor grandmother thing… I really can’t bear it anymore!

Wah, crying from anger~
