Chapter 42: The Villain Senior Brother Is About to Turn Dark, the Psychotic Junior Brother Pretends to Be Blind [42]

Just as Bai Yan's gaze landed somewhere, he didn't have time to consider the implications.

The next moment, everything went dark.

It was Ye Beiyu covering his eyes, yet whispering in his ear,

"Senior Brother, why do you keep staring at that place of mine? Want to give it another go?"

There was a hint of laughter in Ye Beiyu's voice. Bai Yan was already out of it, and upon hearing his question, he answered without thinking,

"I just wanted to know if you've still got it in you."

Ye Beiyu was momentarily at a loss for words. He clicked his tongue, half annoyed, half amused, and let go of the hand covering Bai Yan's eyes.

His vision cleared, though for Bai Yan, that wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Especially when he saw the sour look on Ye Beiyu's face.

Bai Yan instinctively edged away.

The bell on the chain jingled with the movement.

He'd probably said something wrong...

Ye Beiyu grabbed his wrist, his gaze dark and unreadable. He seemed to be holding himself back, speaking in a low voice:

"Senior Brother, I don't want to actually end up hurting you. You can't just say stuff like that in the future."

If these past few days hadn't been so rough on him, and he wasn't worried about Bai Yan's body...

Ye Beiyu thought to himself, his gaze growing more and more suggestive.

He trailed off, but Bai Yan got the message.

Bai Yan looked away, ignoring Ye Beiyu. Ye Beiyu sat there a moment longer before getting up and cutting through the silence,

"Get some rest, Senior Brother. As for the demon realm's business, I'll take care of it for you."

As Ye Beiyu spoke, he yanked Bai Yan to his side, brooking no argument, and pressed a kiss to his lips.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he warned, "Senior Brother, don't even think about trying to run. Otherwise... I've got plenty of ways to make sure these legs of yours never leave that bed again."

Ye Beiyu ran his fingertips along Bai Yan's calf, wild and obsessed,

"Senior Brother's legs are so beautiful, they deserve some proper appreciation..."

Bai Yan didn't answer, just watched him spiral before calling 717 back and asking:

[717, do you think he's trying to break my legs?]

[Are you sure this guy's the male lead? I swear he's crazier than me, and I'm the villain.]

He'd played plenty of villains and met plenty of male leads.

Good and bad, but he'd never run into anyone like Ye Beiyu.

The things Ye Beiyu was doing, his weird attitude, his unhinged obsession.

It almost made him forget who the real villain in this world was supposed to be.

The moment he logged on and saw that scene, 717 burst into a fit of coughing.

[Cough, cough...]

Oh my god! Was he allowed to see this? Was he allowed to hear this?!

717 had figured his matchmaking mission was doomed from the start.

After all, he'd seen how Bai Yan treated Ye Beiyu.

Besides, he didn't want to force his host.

Bai Yan had made it clear he couldn't stand Ye Beiyu, and he hadn't brought up the mission on his own initiative.

If he accidentally pissed off this Big Shot and got himself scrapped, that'd be bad.

But against all odds, they'd actually ended up together. The journey might've been rough, but that didn't matter.

717 looked at the light screen in front of him, where the hidden mission line had reached 100%, and he was grinning so wide his eyes nearly vanished.

As for Bai Yan's whole "the male lead's character is falling apart" crisis, in his view, it wasn't a problem at all!

The male lead had already gotten together with the villain—if his character were still normal, that would be the real surprise!

But even now, he didn't dare tell Bai Yan about the hidden mission line.

Ye Beiyu liked Bai Yan, but judging by Bai Yan's attitude, he didn't seem to like Ye Beiyu that much. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Beiyu was the male lead, he might have already made a move.

If he found out there was also this hidden mission line, he might take his anger out on him.

The more 717 thought about it, the more he felt that this mission line had to be kept tightly under wraps!

But with that came a wave of guilt. Even though this situation wasn't caused by him, and he had even given up on this mission line already.

Watching Ye Beiyu leave, Bai Yan was still fiddling with the slender chain.

717 gritted his teeth and spoke up: [Big Shot, now that the demon realm's barrier has been broken, although it's a bit different from the final outcome, you have indeed been imprisoned here by the male lead, which barely counts as completing the mission.]

[If you want, I can take you out of this world right now.]

Even if this meant the mission rating wouldn't reach full marks, and the points he'd get would be halved.

But he really couldn't bear to watch Bai Yan suffer here, staying with someone he didn't like.

Bai Yan paused in his movements. "Who said I'm leaving?"

The villain mission was indeed mostly complete, and the current situation was completely different from what he had originally planned.

But so what?

At least he had gotten what he wanted.

And right now, it still wasn't enough. He wanted more.

Bai Yan lowered his eyes slightly, his long lashes casting shadows over the obscure light in his gaze.

A faint smile curved at the corners of his lips as he released the chain wrapped around his fingers and spoke softly:

"Besides, it's not even time for me to leave yet, is it? If I left early, wouldn't you lose half your points?"

[Wuwu...]

717's eyes welled up with tears as he gazed at Bai Yan with a pitiful look, a bitter ache in his chest. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into loud sobs.

[Wuwu-wah—!]

[Big Shot, you're the best! I can't believe you're still thinking about our mission even now. I was wrong to doubt you before!]

Tears streamed down his face like a broken string of beads. 717 wiped his tears and spoke between sniffles,

[It's fine... sob... I don't care about the points... but, but you can't be treated unfairly! That male lead, he's a total jerk, sob...]

Bai Yan went quiet, feeling complicated inside.

Why hadn't he noticed before that the system he'd bound with was such a crybaby?

A system bawling like that...

Before, he would've been disgusted, but now he just got a headache.

It was way too loud...

Just as Bai Yan was about to cut him off, 717 spoke up again:

[But Big Shot, how did you know I'd lose half my points if we left early?]

717 blinked, recalling he'd never told Bai Yan about that.

So how did Bai Yan know that?

Bai Yan paused. How else would he know?

Of course, it was from his old system, who was always chattering in his ear.

That little guy wanted to perfect every mission to rack up more points.

So anything about points was on his mind 24/7, and Bai Yan couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

Bai Yan pulled himself together and said seriously:

"When I first bound with you, I read your system manual. It was in section 7, page 134."

717 was taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully and said,

[Oh, so that's how it is...]

[Big Shot, you're amazing, remembering it so clearly.]

Bai Yan didn't want to continue this topic.

He just reassured 717 a few more times, telling him to relax, and that when the mission time was up, he would naturally leave.

717 figured Bai Yan was staying just to protect his points, putting up with someone he hated just to finish the mission.

717's guilt deepened. He nodded heavily, staring at Bai Yan with sparkling eyes, and vowed:

[Big Shot, don't worry! I'll go keep an eye on that Ye Beiyu right now! If he makes any move, I'll tell you immediately!]
