I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 125 (1): 125 ― What the Hell; Touched By His Words!

In her previous life, Gu Changge murdered her in cold blood on their wedding night just because there was a chance she might reveal his greatest secret — the scene still appeared fresh in her mind — yet today, not only did Gu Changge reveal his greatest secret to her on his own initiative, he even said that he couldn’t bring himself to kill her?

To be honest, this somewhat confused Yue Mingkong and her grip on the sword inside her sleeve loosened.

She couldn’t tell whether Gu Changge was telling the truth or not, but it was an undeniable fact that she couldn’t sense any killing intent from him.

So…the fearsome appearance he put on just now was only to scare her?

Yue Mingkong gritted her teeth when she came at this realization and couldn’t understand what to feel at the moment.

She was both sour and touched at the same time.

She couldn’t understand why Gu Changge chose not to kill her, and wondered if he was planning to control her mind using the Taboo Inheritance?

After all, such a possibility existed and he might plant some seal inside her mind when she relaxed.

But…she felt that she might be thinking too much into the matter. Compared to her previous life, the Gu Changge in this life seemed to have changed by a lot.

Although he was still an evil, ruthless, and indifferent monster, he did seem to treat the people around him with great kindness.

Yue Mingkong’s mind was in a mess.

“It wasn’t like I could have hidden the matter of the Taboo Inheritance from you since you could have guessed it anyway, so don’t pretend to not know something you already know about in front of me in the future.”

Gu Changge couldn’t help but laugh at her when he watched Yue Mingkong freeze with a face full of disbelief, and went a few steps towards her and took her in his embrace.

Yue Mingkong’s body stiffened for a moment, but she soon relaxed and calmed down.

She lay in her embrace without a word and felt like she needed to sort out her thoughts.

Gu Changge watched her dazed expression and thought that she looked somewhat interesting.

Just a moment ago, Yue Mingkong was seething and ready to duke it out with him, yet in the very next moment…

This amused Gu Changge.

Had he desired to murder her, he would have already done it and wouldn’t have waited until today.

Anyway, Yue Mingkong was a regressor, so she probably already knew about his greatest secret that was the Taboo Inheritance — it was just that she didn’t expose it for some reason.

It was probably because she didn’t want to see a day where the entire world would hunt him down.

How could Gu Changge not feel her love and care from her actions?

As for how he framed Ye Ling? Although Yue Mingkong didn’t experience the entire thing herself, she had probably already guessed how he did it.

It was nothing more than murdering Bai Lie using the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art], and then picking the right moment to reveal his corpse and putting the blame on Ye Ling’s head.

In this way, she coudn’t pretend to not know Gu Changge’s greatest secret even if she wanted to.

Gu Changge merely revealed his secret of his own accord and added some pretty words that could help him make Yue Mingkong put down some of her defenses against him.

If he didn’t do it, then Yue Mingkong would spend her days in fear, keeping herself on high alert every moment of the day…to be honest, Gu Changge didn’t feel well seeing her like that.

Of course, he understood that it wouldn’t be so simple to resolve the pain and hatred Yue Mingkong experienced in her previous life.

Well, every meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and every plan had to be executed one step at a time, so Gu Changge wasn’t in a hurry.

What’s more? Yue Mingkong still held some suspicions towards him and didn’t believe every word that came out of his mouth.

In addition, Gu Changge also wanted to know just what kind of previous life did Yue Mingkong experience?

After all, the one who killed her wasn’t him but the body dominated by the Devil Heart.

Was there an anomaly in the world that let her capture some fragments of memory from her future self, or was she someone who somehow traveled through the river of time and got to witness the future…

Anything was possible.

The Heavenly Daddy protected the Favored Children of Heaven, after all, while all he received from the Heavenly Daddy was its malice!

However, all of these were merely Gu Changge’s speculations.

It was also possible that Yue Mingkong really experienced such a life and then returned back in time to live in this timeline.

The Dao of Time was a supreme and incomprehensible Dao.

Even Immortals found it difficult to travel through the river of time as and when they pleased, as there was a mystical fog shrouding everything. The future kept changing all the time, so getting a glimpse of it was already hard enough, so not much had to be said when it came to traveling to and from the future.

Alas! This made it hard for Gu Changge to understand some things.

“Aren’t you afraid I will expose your secret if you don’t kill me?”

Finally, Yue Mingkong gently broke free from Gu Changge’s embrace and stood around a meter away from him and intently stared at him with her cold-yet-gorgeous eyes.

“I am afraid, yes— how can I not be afraid? But there’s nothing I can do if you do decide to expose my secret. If that happens then I will have no choice but to admit my misfortune and blame myself for marrying a wife like you…”

Gu Changge said with a sigh.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid of Yue Mingkong exposing his secret since she wouldn’t have waited until now if she really wanted to expose his secret.

What’s more? Gu Changge had countless means to deal with the matter even if she did expose him.

Right now, his top priority was to make Yue Mingkong relax her vigilance towards him since it won’t be easy for him to do certain things in the future if he didn’t do that.

Yue Mingkong gave out a light snort when she heard his words, and said with slight dissatisfaction, “We aren’t married yet, so who are you calling your wife?”

She knew that Gu Changge was merely spewing pretty words; since he dared to say so, then it was a fact that he wasn’t afraid of her exposing his secret.

With Gu Changge’s shrewdness and thoughtfulness, there was no way that he would leave any flaws in his plans and overlook something.

Still, hearing his words did bring her some joy.

“Well, you will be my wife in the future anyway,” Gu Changge replied to her with a casual smile and added, “You are mine, and everything about you is also mine, so do you think I care about these trifles?”

“Gu Changge…”

Yue Mingkong frowned as she never expected Gu Changge to utter something so shameless and disgusting right at her face, but she couldn’t find any words to refute his claim.

Still, her eyes did brighten.

Although she knew that Gu Changge was spewing pretty words to fool her and decrease her vigilance, she couldn’t bring herself to dislike listening to him from the bottom of her heart.

Although nine of ten of his sentences were likely to be false, there was still a chance for one of them to be the truth, no?

Right then, a System Prompt sounded in Gu Changge’s mind.

[Ding! There’s a shift in the attitude of the Favored Daughter of Heaven, Yue Mingkong. You receive 800 points of Fortune Value and 4000 Destiny Points!]
