After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 271

As Lin Feng was being tied up by a group of lunatics, Jiang Chen arrived at a glacier that had been cleaved in two accompanied by Jiang Lianyue and Zhang Hu.

This glacier had been split by Jiang Chen’s ancient Way of the Sword, and even now, one could still feel the rich sword intent contained on the smooth surface of the cut.

Looking at his own handiwork, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He clearly remembered that beneath this glacier lay a bottomless ice cave. And it was deep within this cave that the Blood-Tempering Ganoderma and Cold Jade Ice Bed, which could cure Jiang Lianyue’s cold poison, were located!

Due to the glacier being split, the group quickly found the target ice cave.

Compared to other ice caves, this one was not only large and deep but also echoed with the howls of various demonic beasts.

“Judging by the richness of this ice cave, the heaven-sent treasures you need to suppress your cold poison should be inside,” Jiang Chen casually remarked.

“Mhm,” Jiang Lianyue nodded.

“The natural formations of the Mysterious Ice Realm only suppress foreign beings. The demonic beasts that have always lived here are not affected,” Jiang Chen said, standing with his hands behind his back in front of the ice cave.

“Mhm,” Jiang Lianyue nodded again.

She knew more than that, She knew that there were hundreds of demonic beasts inside this ice cave, one of which was even a Demon King.

Every time Jiang Chen entered this ice cave in the nine cycles of reincarnations, his cultivation level never exceeded the Heavenly Origin realm.

The reason he could enter smoothly and bring out the Cold Jade Ice Bed was that he used many of the Jiang family’s trump cards.

Even so, Jiang Chen had been chased by that Demon King in a most pitiful state, nearly losing his life several times, which was extremely dangerous.

Yet, every time Jiang Chen took out the Cold Jade Ice Bed, what he received was not gratitude but indifference.

But Jiang Chen persisted relentlessly.

Even knowing that Lin Feng would follow behind to reap the benefits.

Even knowing that compared to the Cold Jade Ice Bed, Lin Feng would bring out an even better Blood-Tempering Ganoderma, Jiang Chen still strived to bring out the Cold Jade Ice Bed!

The reason was that Jiang Chen didn’t dare to gamble.

Jiang Chen was worried that if he didn’t take the Cold Jade Ice Bed, Lin Feng wouldn’t enter the ice cave to get the Blood-Tempering Ganoderma.

This could lead to his Fifth Junior Sister dying from the outbreak of her cold poison!

Thinking of these things, Jiang Lianyue’s beautiful eyes dimmed, and her sense of guilt intensified.

In this life, Jiang Chen wanted to be the villain.

She had thought that Jiang Chen would no longer come here for her. But at this moment, the two of them stood together in front of the ice cave.

“Eldest Senior Brother, thank you.”

“Thank me for what?” Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

“You’re not expecting me to enter the ice cave, fight a bunch of demons, and find the treasures that can cure your cold poison, are you?”

Jiang Lianyue didn’t respond but simply smiled faintly.

Her smile was somewhat pale and extremely resolute. She didn’t expect Jiang Chen to help her, nor did she want him to help.

After all, she owed Jiang Chen too much over the nine reincarnations, and in this life, she didn’t want her Eldest Senior Brother to do anything dangerous for her. Ř𝘼ꞐÒＢƐš

So, she decided to go in alone.

“…You’ll die,” Jiang Chen said after seeing her intention.

“I know,” Jiang Lianyue nodded.

“Right now, I’m only suppressing the cold poison with my cultivation. I can’t fight at all.”

“Then why go?” Jiang Chen asked again.

“If you beg me or act pitiful, maybe I’ll take pity and help you this once,” he added.

“If that would put Eldest Senior Brother in danger, then Lianyue would rather die,” Jiang Lianyue cleverly replied.

“…Sigh.” Jiang Chen fell silent upon hearing this and then let out a long sigh.

He felt helpless.

If this life’s Jiang Lianyue was as cold and indifferent as in the previous nine lives, he wouldn’t care about her life or death.

But clearly, this life’s Jiang Lianyue valued him more than her own life.

This indeed made it hard for him to be ruthless.

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

Unaware of Jiang Chen’s thoughts, Jiang Lianyue looked up at the sky and suddenly said, “Eldest Senior Brother, do you remember? When I first joined the Jiuyan Sect, it was you who took me to see our master?”

“Mhm,” Jiang Chen responded softly.

It was the same in the previous nine lives as well as this one.

Every time, Jiang Lianyue would stand quietly at the gate of the Jiuyan Sect, her face cold, her aura icy, but he could see the unease in her eyes.

Jiang Chen had always known that Jiang Lianyue’s cold demeanor was partly due to her cultivation technique and partly due to her upbringing.

She was born into an ordinary family with exceptional talent.

From a young age, whether it was adults or peers, anyone who came into contact with her had some ulterior motive.

She couldn’t feel sincerity, so she closed off her heart and refused to express her emotions.

That’s why she rejected him so directly when Jiang Chen said he would ‘take care of her’ during their apprenticeship.

That’s also why she showed more disgust after witnessing Jiang Chen’s misdeeds with her own eyes and hearing about them everywhere than the other junior brothers and sisters.

And for the same reason, she became the heroine most affected by this fate.

“What was your first impression of me, Eldest Senior Brother?” Jiang Lianyue asked again.

“…Well, quite pretty,” Jiang Chen said after a moment’s thought, choosing to tell the truth.

“Do you know what my first impression of you was, Eldest Senior Brother?” Jiang Lianyue asked again.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Even with the cycles of nine reincarnations, he could never guess what was really on Jiang Lianyue’s frosty face.

“Disgust,” Jiang Lianyue said, her smile fading as she closed her eyes.

“A strong disgust, for no known reason, it even gave me goosebumps.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned.

The result was not unexpected to him, as he was aware that it must have been influenced by his villainous aura. But having it said outright was still annoying.

“But…” Jiang Lianyue suddenly changed her tone and continued.

“When you smile at me, I can’t help but want to smile too.”

“When you walked with me on the Ninth Peak path with your back to me, I felt an unprecedented sense of peace.”

“When you said you would take care of me as the Eldest Senior Brother to this Junior Sister, although I verbally refused, I couldn’t suppress the anticipation in my heart.”

As she spoke, she reached the entrance of the ice cave.

She turned back to look at Jiang Chen, her cheeks streaked with tears.

She knew very well.

If she entered this ice cave, there was a high probability she wouldn’t survive.

Some words can only be said at this moment.

Thus, she finally mustered the courage to say:

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m sorry…”

“Sorry?” Jiang Chen’s frown deepened.

“What are you sorry for?”

Jiang Lianyue hesitated, wanting to say more.

At this moment, she struggled with the urge to reveal everything.

But she restrained herself.

Wiping away her tears, she regained her smile and said, “I’m sorry for not seeing the righteous and kind heart beneath your wicked appearance before.”

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

Just as Jiang Lianyue was about to step into the ice cave, Jiang Chen, who had been silent for a long time, finally moved towards the cave.

“If you die, there will be no one to serve as my maid.”

Seeing Jiang Lianyue’s stunned expression, Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lianyue covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears.
