Chapter 178 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

When it came to the Soul Devouring Pill, Chu Chu's anger seemed to subside as if she had been doused with cold water. Glancing at He Yunxiao and the "bad woman" standing beside him, Chu Chu's tone became less confrontational. Moreover, He Yunxiao had indeed previously mentioned finding a way to solve the problem of the Soul Devouring Pill. "So what if she can help you with the Soul Devouring Pill? I can protect your life as well." Seeing Chu Chu's calmer demeanor, He Yunxiao knew there was a chance for a breakthrough. As long as the usual domineering Chu Chu was willing to compromise, the biggest obstacle would be overcome. Ignoring the tension between the two female leads, He Yunxiao felt that the current situation wasn't bad at all. After all, he had Nanzhu's wife on one side, and Chu Chu on the other, both of them preoccupied with their conflict and paying no attention to him. It was truly satisfying! "Cough. Chu Chu, Qingrou, can we find a quiet place to talk, please?" Neither of the two female leads responded. After triggering Chu Chu's passive-aggressive nature, Meng Qingrou, though still in He Yunxiao's arms, was no longer as clingy. Chu Chu, on the other hand, maintained her frosty and domineering demeanor from beginning to end. What to do? Continuing to argue in the street wasn't an option. He Yunxiao, holding Chu Chu's hand, couldn't let go of this advantage. He lightly scratched Chu Chu's palm, causing her to frown and glare at him. "Chu Chu, there's a pavilion in the lake within Marquis Wuqing's mansion. Shall we go there to talk?" "I'm not going." Let's try someone else. "Qingrou... Shall we sit down and talk?" Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao, then at Chu Chu. "Qingrou will listen to big brother." He Yunxiao tentatively asked again, "Chu Chu?" Chu Chu looked at Meng Qingrou in He Yunxiao's embrace, her expression frosty, and coldly snorted, "I said I'm not going." He Yunxiao roughly understood. He let go of Nanzhu's wife and used his left hand to hold her hand. At the same time, he squeezed Chu Chu's hand. "Let's go." Chu Chu remained in place. He Yunxiao took a small step forward while holding Nanzhu's wife, and then made a strong pull on Chu Chu's hand. After a couple of pulls and lightly tickling her palm, He Yunxiao finally managed to move Chu Chu, albeit reluctantly, to Marquis Wuqing's mansion. ... Marquis Wuqing's mansion, a small pavilion in the lake. He Yunxiao didn't dare to hold onto the two young ladies and swagger into the mansion. It was merely scratching an itch. For the sake of secrecy, he had to sneak inside using lightness skills to avoid the mansion's servants. Arriving at the lakeside, He Yunxiao had Ma De quickly stay outside to intercept any visitors before daring to sit with the two female leads inside the pavilion. Even in this secluded place where they could talk, the two female leads showed no sign of compromise. Apart from being willing to let their hands be held, there was nothing else to celebrate. It was Chu Chu who spoke first. "He Yunxiao, as long as you promise me to cut ties with this woman from now on, I will no longer hold your past against you." He Yunxiao: "Chu..." Meng Qingrou, without showing any weakness, said, "Brother needs Qingrou's antidote. Qingrou and brother cannot be apart for even a day." He Yunxiao: "Qing..." Chu Chu said, "He doesn't need your antidote." Meng Qingrou said, "The toxicity of the Soul Devouring Pill in brother's body, although weak, could be life-threatening and cannot be taken lightly." "I will help him detoxify." "How will you do that?" "I will find longevity herbs." "A stop-gap measure." "I will use internal energy to detoxify." "Internal energy detoxification cannot eradicate the poison." "You...don't worry about these things. I will take care of He Yunxiao's matter." Meng Qingrou keenly remarked, "Chu Chu, you can't detoxify the Soul Devouring Pill, can you?" Upon being provoked by Meng Qingrou, Chu Chu immediately responded dominantly, "So what? He Yunxiao is mine. Even if he dies, I won't give him to you." Naturally, He Yunxiao didn't want to die. Upon hearing Chu Chu's words, he tried to interject, "Chu Chu..." Chu Chu immediately glared at him. "Shut up." Infuriated by Chu Chu's reprimand, He Yunxiao increased the strength of his grip on Chu Chu's hand, seeking a slight revenge. This action, however, elicited another warning glare from Chu Chu. Facing Chu Chu's dominance, Meng Qingrou showed no signs of backing down. She directly countered, "Who are you, Chu Chu, to make decisions for my brother? He is the patient, and I am his doctor. Only a doctor can intervene in a patient's treatment." Seeing Nanzhu's wife being assertive, He Yunxiao had to once again squeeze Nanzhu's wife's hand to soothe her anger. He Yunxiao understood that despite changing the location to a pavilion, the argument continued. The two female leads refused to compromise and showed no intention of doing so. If left to the female leads, they would want it all. Nanzhu's wife wanted to be with him, while Chu Chu's hand was needed for cultivation. With the dispute continued independently by the female leads, a resolution was not in sight. Chu Chu wanted Nanzhu to leave, but Nanzhu couldn't leave. He Yunxiao could only come up with a compromise, maintaining the current situation while making it acceptable to both parties. At this point, He Yunxiao once again deeply understood the truth of "becoming strong." The only way to maintain harmony among the female leads was to become strong enough. Only by being strong enough could he have enough resources to mediate the conflicts between the female leads and truly get "what he wants"! He Yunxiao wished he could deal with vouchers right now. If he had enough money, before strolling around with Nanzhu, he would just buy the street, chase away unrelated people, and then Nanzhu wouldn't be in trouble, which would lead to a confrontation between Chu Chu and Nanzhu. He Yunxiao came up with a plan. "Let me say one thing first." "Stop talking." "Brother, don't speak." He Yunxiao's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but speak the honest truth. "As a party involved, do I not have any say?" Chu Chu coldly snorted, "Hmph, if you could take care of yourself, would it be this troublesome for me?" Meng Qingrou complained, "It's all because brother made friends carelessly." He Yunxiao let go of both hands, stood up, and slammed the table, assuming the air of a master of the house, and said, "Listen to me first." He then looked at Chu Chu and said, "Chu Chu, I need Qingrou to solve the Soul Devouring Pill for me. I can't be without her." Then, he looked at Nanzhu's wife and said, "Qingrou, Chu Chu is my friend and also my boss." Meng Qingrou fell silent, and Chu Chu frowned. "He Yunxiao, what are you trying to say?" "You are both my wings." "What do you mean?" "It means that Qingrou must not leave, and Chu Chu can't leave either." Chu Chu said, "He Yunxiao, I won't let you touch other women." Meng Qingrou added, "Brother, Qingrou doesn't want you to have anything to do with Chu Chu." Seeing the argument about to start again, He Yunxiao hurriedly tried to stop them. "Wait, wait, wait, let me speak first. I have a way." Tl. Soothsayer.io
