Blame the Villain – Chapter 181

Villainous Undercover (20)

Song Xuyi woke up seven days later.

She found herself back in the Medical Valley, awakening while soaking in a giant medicinal pool, surrounded by the bitter scent of herbs, her body aching with every movement as if it had fallen apart.

Recalling what happened before she lost consciousness, Song Xuyi felt utterly nauseated and couldn’t help but scoop up the medicinal liquid to scrub her body.

She was not from ancient times and didn’t have such strong notions of chastity, nor would she become depressed or depraved because of this: Throughout history, the ones who should be despised for such incidents have always been the disgusting perpetrators, not the innocent victims. Song Xuyi would not despise herself for this, let alone give up on herself.

However, if Song Xuyi’s personality could be described as laid-back before, after this ordeal, for the first time, she utterly loathed someone, wishing she could grind Lu Dun’s bones to dust and scatter them to the wind.

Shortly after Song Xuyi made a sound, there was a slight movement at the door, and Valley Master Song pushed the door open and walked in.

“This time you were truly in grave danger, with one foot already stepping into the gates of hell. We used almost every trick in the book to save you…” Valley Master Song sighed, her gaze falling on Song Xuyi: “Especially your senior sister, she was nearly frightened to death, staying up day and night to perform acupuncture on you. I’ve never seen that child so angry and anxious before! During this time, she has already crushed ten cups. If she keeps crushing them, all the cups in my Medical Valley will soon be gone…”

“Senior sister has always been good to me.” Song Xuyi lowered her head, but felt somewhat confused: Song Xuyi understood Fu Xiyu’s anxiety, after all, Fu Xiyu had always been caring towards her, but Song Xuyi couldn’t imagine Fu Xiyu crushing cups—in Song Xuyi’s impression, Fu Xiyu had always been calm and composed, and Song Xuyi didn’t think Fu Xiyu would lose control to the point of crushing cups…

“She has been keeping watch here for too long. I used some medicine yesterday, and she finally fell asleep with great difficulty.” Valley Master Song crouched down, checked Song Xuyi’s pulse, and sighed in relief: “You don’t need to worry, just rest and recuperate well.”

Song Xuyi nodded, and after Valley Master Song turned around, she took the bath towel handed to her, wrapped herself up, and then slowly walked out of the medicinal pool…

Before she hadn’t moved, she didn’t feel it, but now as she moved, Song Xuyi felt as if her entire body was like a porcelain doll that had been shattered and then forcibly pieced back together, every part of her body ached…

For the next two days, Song Xuyi lay in bed recuperating.

Over these years, she had built good relationships with people in the Medical Valley, and many came to see her. However, strangely, Fu Xiyu seemed to have not visited at all during these two days.

At first, Song Xuyi didn’t pay much attention to it, but after two days, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled—

This was really too unusual!

Given Fu Xiyu’s concern for her, she should have come to see her long ago!

Unless… something had happened to her that Song Xuyi didn’t know about…

Song Xuyi immediately felt worried.

However, no matter how much she inquired with Valley Master Song, Valley Master Song always evaded the question, saying that nothing was wrong with Fu Xiyu. The more Valley Master Song said this, the more worried Song Xuyi became. She could only muster her spirits and try her best to recover as quickly as possible, so that she could find out about Fu Xiyu’s situation as soon as possible.

Only the system knew: every night, after Song Xuyi had fallen into deep sleep, Fu Xiyu would appear at her bedside, gazing at Song Xuyi with an inscrutable expression…

At these times, the system was extremely nervous and fearful—because the villain’s expression while looking at Song Xuyi showed undisguised possessiveness in her eyes, exactly the same as the looks of infatuation that villains in previous worlds had when they were obsessed with Xuyi!

What made the system even more anxious was—the villain had shed the disguise on her face, and started to restore her original appearance of unparalleled beauty!

The system could almost predict Xuyi’s reaction when she saw this beautiful villain…

Fortunately, Xuyi seemed to have been too physically exhausted recently and hadn’t contacted the system… So the system kept everything a little secret.

However, the system didn’t expect that two days later, when Song Xuyi finally got rid of the pain in her body and received Valley Master Song’s approval to get out of bed, Song Xuyi almost immediately ran into Fu Xiyu’s room:

When Song Xuyi pushed open the door, Fu Xiyu was taking a bath.

In the misty steam, the first thing Song Xuyi saw was a back covered in scars. The skin on the woman’s back was extremely smooth and white, and those scars didn’t detract from her beauty, but instead gave her whole being a mysterious allure.

The woman’s beautifully shaped shoulder blades trailed downwards, winding into the steam, with undulating, towering peaks in front… At a glance, it was incredibly provocative to the imagination.

Song Xuyi caught a fleeting glimpse and quickly closed her eyes, but couldn’t help blushing: She never thought that senior sister, who usually dressed so conservatively, had such good skin…

“Senior sister, I was just worried that something had happened to you, so I came to check on you. I’m glad you’re alright, I’ll leave now.”

Song Xuyi didn’t know why, but she felt the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. She laughed nervously and turned around, about to push the door open and leave, when Fu Xiyu’s voice, as cold as frost, came from behind—

“I do have a problem.”

“I’ve been seduced and abandoned—”

?!

Song Xuyi couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

No wonder Fu Xiyu hadn’t come to see her during this time, it turns out she was suffering from heartbreak…

“Senior sister, don’t worry, that person doesn’t deserve you,” Song, although extremely curious about who had caused Fu Xiyu’s heartbreak, after all, Fu Xiyu rarely approached others proactively except for herself, but Xuyi figured now was not the time to consider this. The most important thing at the moment was to persuade Fu Xiyu not to be heartbroken.

Song Xuyi didn’t have much experience in comforting people, so she could only speak dryly: “Senior sister, that person seduced and abandoned you, it’s their loss—”

“Senior sister is skilled, knows how to conduct herself properly with others, is considerate and meticulous, and has a sense of righteousness,” Song Xuyi thought about Fu Xiyu’s various merits. If at first she only wanted to comfort Fu Xiyu, as she thought more about it, she truly became angry: “That person must be blind to seduce and abandon you! Senior sister, you will surely find someone more pleasing to your heart in the future—”

“She’s not blind, I was the one who hid some things from her first,” came the faint sound of water from behind, Fu Xiyu seemed to have stepped out of the bathtub. She slowly approached behind Song Xuyi and spoke softly, her voice sounding extremely serious: “In this lifetime, I will never have anyone more pleasing to my heart!”

At this point, she was still trying to defend that scumbag who seduced and abandoned her?

Song Xuyi felt exasperated, and couldn’t help but turn her head towards Fu Xiyu, intending to continue persuading her: “There are thousands upon thousands of men in the world, why should we hang ourselves on a crooked tree—”

However, Song Xuyi’s words were all swallowed back before she could finish—she saw a face: this face was more alluring than spring flowers, flawlessly beautiful. Song Xuyi had spent two thrilling nights with the owner of this face, and now the owner of this face was looking at her with an angry expression…

…

In a flash of inspiration, Song Xuyi suddenly understood: At that time, the system had not told her that the person that night was Lu Dun, it was she who had misunderstood the system’s meaning. Feeling nauseated and with negative thoughts, she hadn’t contacted the system to clarify these past two days…

So… the person who had a second spring encounter with her was actually Fu Xiyu?

Indeed, Lu Dun with his air of supreme arrogance would never have treated her so gently and tenderly…

After understanding everything, Song Xuyi felt as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart. She stared blankly at Fu Xiyu’s stunningly beautiful face. Unlike her previous resentment, now Song Xuyi’s heart was filled only with shame. Heat rushed to her face with a “whoosh”, and she instinctively wanted to flee out the door, but Fu Xiyu behind her moved even faster, stepping past Song Xuyi and pressing against the door panel—

“Song Xuyi,” when Song Xuyi looked back again, Fu Xiyu’s eyes were already brimming with tears. Those beautiful eyes were full of anger, yet even while angry, Fu Xiyu still shone as brilliantly as the most dazzling pearl—

“You said before, if I did something wrong, I could act coquettishly with you and it would be fine! I shouldn’t have concealed my true appearance from you—”

Song Xuyi wanted to refute.

Her posture of pinning her against the wall looked incredibly domineering, how could this be considered acting coquettishly?

However, with the fresh scent of the woman’s recent bath lingering in her nostrils, looking at the face of the woman so close to her, beautiful enough to make all things pale in comparison, Song Xuyi’s words of refutation got stuck in her throat and she couldn’t utter them. Her legs involuntarily began to weaken—

Song Xuyi inwardly cursed her own lack of backbone, while outwardly biting her lip and lowering her head, yet she couldn’t help but speak in a low voice: “I, let me go, I don’t blame you anymore…”

However, she didn’t expect that as soon as her words fell, the next moment Fu Xiyu would cling to her, embracing her waist—

“Since I’ve already apologized for my concealment, shouldn’t Xuyi also take responsibility for the mistake you’ve committed?”

Facing Song Xuyi’s stunned and confused gaze, Fu Xiyu sneered, leaning close to Song Xuyi’s ear—

“Some people comfort me one night saying they cherish me the most, yet the next day they’re on the brink of death for a man, is this what you call cherishing?”

Heaven knows how Fu Xiyu spent that time when Song Xuyi was unconscious.

She almost killed Li Jin, who had objectively implicated Xuyi…

It was also during these few days that Fu Xiyu fully understood her own feelings—she had developed a terrifying possessiveness towards Xuyi! If Xuyi hadn’t pulled through, she would have followed her into hell, searching high and low, she would cling to Xuyi forever; and if Xuyi survived, if she despised her bloodline, she still had this face that might captivate Xuyi’s heart, while she was still beautiful, she could always bewitch Xuyi…

No matter what, she would never let go of Xuyi again!

…

Song Xuyi lowered her head.

She actually felt Fu Xiyu’s nervousness. Although her words spoke of settling accounts with Song Xuyi, Fu Xiyu’s arms were unconsciously trembling. Song Xuyi understood even more that if she refused, Fu Xiyu actually wouldn’t force her…

But… this Fu Xiyu who dared to express her affection, radiant and no longer suppressing her emotions, was the appearance of Fu Xiyu that Song Xuyi had longed for for a long time…

“Alright.”

Song Xuyi’s face turned red with embarrassment as she heard herself softly say—

“It was I who acted improperly towards Senior Sister out of lust. I’m willing to take responsibility…”

Three years later, no one expected that Lu Dun would be killed by Qian He.

During these three years, under the pursuit of the imperial court and righteous sects, Lu Dun had been hiding like a stray dog, and was finally fatally wounded by Fu Xiyu with not many days left to live.

No one expected that before his death he would go to find Second Senior Brother Qian He, and Qian He was even more surprised that he would actually kill Lu Dun…

Only Fu Xiyu knew the reason: Qian He was the disciple who resembled Mo Wen the most to Lu Dun.

In this life, Song Xuyi and Fu Xiyu eventually inherited the Medical Valley. The two performed righteous deeds, took in and treated countless patients, lived together until their hair turned gray, and were buried together in the hundred-year-old cemetery of Medical Valley…

In the hundred years of Medical Valley, the only one not buried in the Medical Valley cemetery was Valley Master Song. At her strong insistence, she died in front of Yu Rudie’s grave and was buried together with Yu Rudie…

LP: Ngl, this ending sucks! It feels like a cliffhanger…
