What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You - Chapter 74

—Having just swallowed her snack, Meng Qingrou was about to explain something.

“Young Master Xiao, I..”

“Is the snacks good?” He Yunxiao interrupted.

Meng Qingrou nodded honestly, “Delicious.”

“Have another piece.”

“Hm.”

He Yunxiao picked a piece among several kinds of snacks and then threw it into her mouth with a swift movement of lightning.

With something in her mouth, Meng Qingrou was once again unable to speak. Her hand was being pulled by He Yunxiao, so she could only sit quietly next to him, her small mouth moving around as she chewed the pastry quietly and gracefully.

In fact, when someone is beautiful, everything she does is pleasing to the eye.

He Yunxiao did nothing, thought nothing, but stayed by Meng Qingrou’s side, watching her eat, and kept looking, never tired of looking.

In He Yunxiao’s eyes, Meng Qingrou was the kind of girl who was very spiritual, innocent, kind, cute, silly, believed in everything that had been said to her, and stimulated one’s desire to protect her.

He Yunxiao decided to find an opportunity to confess to her that he was He Yunxiao.

I couldn’t help but confess.

“Xiao Yun had said bad things about her sister, Meng Qingqian, and if the antidote girl didn’t keep her word and told Meng Qingqian, then Xiao Yun would have no chance with Meng Qingqian’s sister.

Moreover, even if the identity of “Xiao Yun” is perfect, am I going to watch Nanzhu’s wife take on her sister and the Queen Mother for me?

Without saying that this is a bloody drama, who would want the lovely wife Nazhu’s suffering?

The Queen-Mother may be better off, but Meng Qingqian is not a good woman.

At every turn, she sentences people to demotion and exile. She even ordered that the trial of the assassins be abandoned and that they be decapitated. How could Nanzhu deal with such a ruthless “empress”?

Why not just tell her that I am He Yunxiao and let her go through the process of marrying into the Marquis’ family and be done with it?

All is well and that ends well.

As He Yunxiao was thinking, Nanzhu’s mouth gradually stopped moving.

He Yunxiao looked at her and smiled, “Finished eating again? Come, open your mouth.”

Meng Qingrou wanted to say something, but was again gagged by the delicious snacks inside her mouth. She was only forced to enjoy the rare delicacy, her small mouth moving around once again.

One person ate, one person watched.

The night was quiet, and so was the time.

After eating this time, Meng Qingrou used her right hand, which was not held, to hold in front of her mouth.

“Young Master Xiao! I have something to say!”

He Yunxiao helplessly put down the snack and said, “Speak.”

Meng Qingrou asked cautiously, “Did Young Master Xiao take the Soul Devouring Pill?”

He Yunxiao feigned surprise and said, “Why are you so clever, Miss? It’s like a heavenly maiden descending from the earth!”

Meng Qingrou blushed at his comment, “You asked for the Soul Devouring Pill the first time you saw me. Moreover, this wound healed so quickly with just blood, there is only one possibility, and that is the Soul Devouring Pill.”

He Yunxiao commented, “Great talent, girl!”

With a soft hum, Meng Qingrou’s tone was no longer as cheerful as before, and she said quietly, “It is written in medical books that most people who have taken the Soul Devouring Pill will live less than a year. The few who are physically strong can live for a few more months, or at most a year or so. Young Master clearly doesn’t have long to live, but you’re still not serious.”

“How am I not serious?” He Yunxiao said innocently.

Meng Qingrou pouted discontentedly, “You have to ask the doctor of your own accord to consult, why are you not taking this seriously?”

He Yunxiao immediately retorted, “Miss Nanzhu was not honest when I was consulting the ‘doctor’ either, she even hit him.”

Meng Qingrou blushed again and hurriedly explained, “I, I was, unrelated men and women shouldn’t be intimate!”

He Yunxiao said, “I am unrelated.”

Meng Qingrou lowered her head and said in a soft tone, “Nanzhu can’t say anything to you. But Nanzhu does not want to lie to you. Although Nanzhu is confident in her medical skills, medicine is slow, but poison is fast. Moreover, the Soul Devouring Pill is the top of the world’s strange pills, a great poison and a great tonic …… How long has Young Master been taking this pill?”

He Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, “Not many days.”

Meng Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief.

“A few days is fine. If it hasn’t been a few days, Nanzhu is fifty percent sure of solving this elixir.”

“Fifty percent?”

He Yunxiao thought that he had Sister Jiang’s “Poison Resistance Boost” and was far more resistant to the Soul Devouring Pill than normal people. Fifty percent certainty was for ordinary people, but for himself, fifty percent was basically equivalent to eighty percent.

With 80% certainty, He Yunxiao put his mind at ease. Even though she was not a discipline of any famous master, so 80% certainty was definitely enough.

Besides, I still have the “Hundred Compulsions Heart Protecting Pill” from the antidote girl.

Although he was doubly sure, he could not help but tease Nanzhu’s wife.

“Fifty percent? Fifty percent is too little. Nanzhu, I’m going to die, so I won’t drag you down. You can marry someone else.”

When Meng Qingrou saw He Yunxiao say this, she immediately said anxiously, “Aiya, don’t be discouraged. I haven’t finished my sentence yet. Fifty percent is the result of taking only one prescription. If you continue to come here every day, and I take your pulse every day and adjust your prescription every day, there is an 80% chance that the poison will be resolved!”

He Yunxiao looked at Nanzhu with this look and was happy as hell.

He then observed Nanzhu’s favourability level towards him, which had come to 88.

It was done.

There was no escape for his wife.

How could such a high favourability rating go down?

How could the Flying Dragon’s face lose like that?

He Yunxiao moved closer to Nanzhu’s wife and pressed his ear to her, “You can’t let go of me that much, huh?”

Meng Qingrou’s face flushed red, but her mouth pretended to be polite and said, “Young Master saved Nanzhu, and Nanzhu will also save Young Master Xiao.”

“Actually, I ..”

He Yunxiao was about to confess when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming fast and quick, from far and near, getting faster and faster.

He Yunxiao was at the eighth level of cultivation, and at this stage, a martial artist’s five senses were already much stronger than those of normal people, so what Meng Qingruo could not hear, he could hear clearly. He was especially sensitive to the sounds of footsteps and breathing, which were used to determine the location of others.

However, although his sense of hearing is much stronger, it is far from being able to hear the four directions. The Linxuan Palace was quiet and deserted, and it was nighttime, so He Yunxiao could hear farther away.

But even if it was farther away, it wasn’t too far.

Across the door, it was only twenty to thirty meters.

The sound of footsteps was already very close, almost as if they would be pushing the door in the next moment.

The princess had a reputation to uphold, and if someone found out that she was secretly meeting a man, it would be a complete game over. She was originally enough to marry into a Marquis, and if her reputation was ruined, even the average official family, would not want her.

After many experiences, He Yunxiao had already reached the “master” level in the field of “hiding”.

He was extremely fast!

Almost instantly, he grabbed Nanzhu’s wife by the waist and then, with a flash of lightness, landed behind a curtain in the room.

This kind of curtain is very common in palaces, and is often found in the whole room, near the side of the bed. It was usually used to separate the ‘small living room’ in the bedroom, which was used for entertaining guests, from the ‘bedroom’ with the bed, which was used for sleeping.

With this curtain, the concubines and princesses had triple security when they slept.

The first level was the outermost door. The second level was the curtain, and the third level was the curtain for the beds.

The first layer of doors was accessible to ordinary men. Behind the second layer of curtains, only servants and Imperial Doctors could enter in an emergency. As for the third layer, only the Royal Family could enter.

He Yunxiao was currently hiding in an area where only servants and Imperial Doctors could enter.

He was hiding behind a curtain and was even holding Meng Qingrou’s hand.

“Young Master Xiao, Xing’er is here, let go of your hand!”

He Yunxiao held Meng Qingrou’s small hand tightly, not letting go of it for half a second. This made her only stick to the edge of the draped curtain to cover her hand that was being held by someone else.

“No, I can’t let go now that we are healing your wounds.”

Meng Qingrou said anxiously, “You! What should we do now?”

He Yunxiao thought to himself, ‘Nanzhu’s wife is really still too innocent. At the beginning, both Sister Du and Chu Xiaoxiao did not need to be taught. They were self-taught.’

He said, “Just stand here, find any excuse and send that person away.”

Over there, Xing’er pushed in the door.

Meng Qingrou wasn’t even half good.

“Xing Xing, Xing’er, I’m fine, are you alright?”

Xing’er:?

She felt that the Princess was a bit strange today, so she simply approached with concern, “Princess, you ……”

Xing’er’s footsteps suddenly froze as she noticed that behind the curtain, there was actually half a foot!

Looking at the style of the shoe, it was obviously a man’s shoe.

With a stiff face, she looked up at her favorite Princess Meng Qingruo.
