The Villain Loves Me Very Much

TL: Moonlit

Seeing the past between the Master and the snake demon, Yin Shao was even more alarmed by everything between himself and Bai Yu.

Master has already transcended.

But the snake demon sits in the forbidden place day after day, waiting for someone who will never appear…

The oppressive pain is unbearable to witness.

Yin Shao still remembers the day before Master’s suicide when he used his sword to break the shackles on the snake demon and let him leave.

The snake demon left without any hesitation or reluctance.

It was because of this that Master felt so desperate.

Yin Shao had often wondered…

If the snake demon hadn’t left that day but chose to stay.

In that case, would Master have taken his own life?

Just like Yin Shao did at the time.

If he hadn’t left so heartlessly, Bai Yu would not have ended up like this.

Just the thought of everything that happened after he left made Yin Shao filled with unease.

Perhaps this is divine mercy.

The snake demon couldn’t wait for Master, but Yin Shao still had a chance to make amends…

Yin Shao lay on the bed, looking at Bai Yu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms at the moment.

His heart ached.

He extended his hand to hold Bai Yu tighter.

Master’s matter had settled, and now the most important thing was to help Bai Yu recover to his former self.

At the thought of this, Yin Shao felt both impatient and fearful.

Because he knew all too well the extent of the harm he had caused Bai Yu…

He didn’t know if, after Bai Yu woke up, he would hate him and want to leave.

The pain he caused Bai Yu was too deep.

How could he repay such a bone-deep pain?

So for the remaining days, he would stay by Bai Yu’s side and cherish every day with him.

A gentle kiss landed softly on Bai Yu’s lips.

Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person in front of him with a bewildered expression, not understanding why he was being looked at with such sorrowful eyes.

Then Bai Yu felt a surge of immensely powerful spiritual energy accompanied by a pill flowing into his mouth from Yin Shao’s lips.

Perhaps the spiritual energy was too strong, and given Bai Yu’s current condition, he couldn’t bear it all at once.

His pupils dilated suddenly, and his whole being felt scattered, even his breath became rapid.

“Ah…”

In pain, he grabbed Yin Shao’s hand and tears welled up in his eyes.

That indescribable agony filled his mind.

Sorrow mixed with a hint of despair.

Bai Yu clenched his teeth tightly and held onto Yin Shao’s clothes firmly.

Because of the overwhelming spiritual energy, he suddenly passed out.

—

Bai Yu had a very long dream.

In his dream, he waited helplessly by a small house, day after day, for someone who never came.

His body inexplicably turned into a rabbit…

His mind became increasingly muddled.

Sometimes, a cat demon would come running over to keep him company. They would exchange a few words here and there.

The cat demon said it was too dangerous there, with wolf packs passing by at any moment, ready to skin him and eat his flesh. The cat demon said they would take him away.

But he never considered leaving.

After so many days together, Bai Yu never doubted that Yin Shao had no feelings for him.

He was afraid that if he left, Yin Shao would change his mind and wouldn’t be able to find him…

So he made a bet with himself there.

If Yin Shao could return before he completely lost his sanity.

He would treat it as if nothing had happened, forgive him, and be with him again.

If Yin Shao never returned.

Then he would let the wolf pack devour him and leave permanently.

His consciousness grew increasingly blurred.

Bai Yu always forced himself to keep his eyes open, waiting for someone.

He truly yearned for that person to suddenly appear in front of him and hold him in their arms.

Unfortunately, day after day, he waited, feeling his sanity slipping away bit by bit…

That feeling of leaving this world at any moment was truly like that of a patient with a terminal illness.

It made it almost unbearable to breathe.

In the last moment before his consciousness was stripped away, his only thought was that he had lost…

Lost completely!

Countless tears streamed from Bai Yu’s eyes.

He curled up in pain.

Even in his dreams, he fiercely bit his own finger, trying not to make a sound while crying.

That feeling was truly suffocating pain.

He didn’t wait for Yin Shao…

He didn’t wait for anything.

Bai Yu had thought that after losing his sanity, he would be carried away by the wolves. He seemed to have seen wolves biting him.

Although Bai Yu’s mind was already unclear at that time.

He felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

He thought, how good…

He could finally leave.

He hoped the wolves would quickly bite his throat and tear his flesh apart.

He had never wished so deeply for his own death.

But after waking up again, Bai Yu realized that he hadn’t returned to the main plane. He was still on this plane.

Bai Yu opened his eyes, looking dazedly at everything in front of him.

A small, fuzzy voice instantly echoed in his ears.

[Ding, target character’s favorability +20, current favorability 100%]

[Ding, target character’s favorability +20, current favorability 120%]

[Ding, target character’s favorability +20, current favorability 140%]

[Ding, target character’s favorability +20, current favorability 160%]

[Congratulations, host, mission completed!]

Bai Yu covered his head with his hand, feeling a splitting headache.

He didn’t know why he was still here.

He didn’t know why he suddenly completed the mission as soon as he woke up…

He didn’t even know what had happened exactly.

There were fragments of memories scattered in his mind.

He hadn’t sorted them out yet when he heard the small, fuzzy voice continue to sound.

[Host, do you choose to leave now or choose to stay in this world?]

Bai Yu furrowed his brows.

A sense of unease filled his heart.

His instinct was to choose to leave.

After all, this world had brought him too much pain.

When his last trace of sanity was stripped away, he had thought that he should leave.

He didn’t want to think about it anymore.

He didn’t want to care about that damn brute anymore.

After all, the mission was already completed, and he could leave now.

But when Xiao Mihu asked this question, Bai Yu furrowed his brows and didn’t answer immediately.

He was thinking that he hadn’t figured out what had exactly happened yet.

He didn’t want to leave any regrets for himself.

Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to wait until he understood everything before leaving…

Raising his footsteps, Bai Yu stepped away from the room.

At that moment, Yin Shao was in the kitchen, brewing medicine for Bai Yu. Bai Yu’s body was weak and needed proper nourishment.

He had no idea that Bai Yu had already left…

—

In the forbidden place, beneath the lush trees, sat a snake demon with a deathly pale complexion.

He sat there with closed eyes, curling up into a ball.

His heart was already as silent as death.

He had never realized before that the twenty years they spent together had deeply penetrated into his marrow.

Now that it was suddenly gone, this indescribable emptiness and painful loneliness tormented him to the point where he had lost the courage to go on living.

However, at that moment, the door to the forbidden place creaked open.

Chi Yin reflexively raised his head, his heart pounding.

He wanted to see the person he longed for.

But the one who appeared before him was not Wu Ya but a young man.

Chi Yin’s gaze immediately dimmed for a moment.

That indescribable disappointment cast a layer of lifelessness upon him.

Bai Yu looked up at the snake demon in front of him, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had never seen such a despairing expression on anyone’s face before.

That kind of expression seemed unfitting for a living being.

That indescribable despair infected him as well.

[Host, actually, even when you were not around, the antagonist suffered just as much.]

Xiao Mihu cautiously sounded in Bai Yu’s ear.

Bai Yu furrowed his brows.

He only saw the snake demon curling up his body.

Muttering continuously, “I was wrong, can you come back?”

He hugged his knees, crying so hard that he couldn’t make a sound.

That sense of grief made Bai Yu’s heart ache too.

Just after Bai Yu woke up, his memories were still fragmented. Now those memories slowly pieced together.

What had happened after he lost his sanity was recorded by his current body.

At this moment, it was gradually reaching his mind.

Xiao Mihu hadn’t lied to him.

Yin Shao’s pain was no less than that of the person in front of him.

He saw the memory of Yin Shao wailing and in pain, seeing him cry uncontrollably…

He also saw how he longed for Bai Yu’s return…

In fact, when Bai Yu woke up, his initial reaction was to leave this place.

But looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly realized how unbearable the pain of losing a loved one could be.

If he were to leave without a care.

Would Yin Shao feel the same?

He had already caused him so much pain for so long.

Did he want to make him suffer like this for the rest of his life?

Bai Yu slowly walked up to the snake demon and softly said:

“The person you love, if they knew how much you are suffering, they would definitely forgive you.”

Chi Yin shook his head in anguish.

“But he won’t know. He’s gone…”

“If he’s gone, go find him and tell him.”

“It’s useless. He’s dead…”

Chi Yin didn’t want to say the word “dead.”

That word brought such a deep pain, piercing his heart and corroding his bones.

But he had waited here for so long.

And he had never waited for that person. He knew…

Wu Ya, he would never return.

Bai Yu approached Chi Yin and slowly sat beside him.

His eyes slightly lowered, Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he was here to collect fragments of the antagonist’s soul.

Although he couldn’t remember exactly what had happened between him and the antagonist.

However, based on the dreams he had, it was evident that they must have had a tumultuous relationship.

He wondered if he had also experienced such pain and hardship when the antagonist perished.

Bai Yu glanced at the snake demon and slowly said:

“When a person dies, their soul still exists, right? There should be a next life…”

Bai Yu’s words were like a thunderclap, jolting the person in the dream awake.

Chi Yin stood up from the ground in an instant. Even his eyes brightened.

“Yes, yes! There’s still a soul!”

He rushed out suddenly, as if he had realized something. He came back and bowed to Bai Yu, “Thank you.”

Watching Chi Yin leave again.

Bai Yu sat there, motionless.

The gentle breeze scattered his hair and gradually blew away the trace of confusion in his eyes…

He knew what he should do now.

—

When Yin Shao returned to the room with the medicine, Bai Yu was nowhere to be found.

The bowl of medicine in his hand dropped to the ground in an instant.

With a loud “thud,” the scalding liquid splashed everywhere.

The bowl containing the medicine shattered into pieces.

“Bai Yu…”

Trembling, Yin Shao called Bai Yu’s name.

His heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife, the pain making him unable to stand.

Actually, Yin Shao had thought that Bai Yu would choose to leave after waking up.

But when this reality unfolded before him so clearly, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t accept it at all.

“Bai Yu, Bai Yu!”

Yin Shao desperately searched for Bai Yu, calling his name incessantly.

Around the house, in the hall, in the backyard…

He searched everywhere.

But if someone was determined to leave.

Perhaps he would never find them, no matter what.

Bai Yu was also a supernatural being.

Although his powers were weak, he still possessed them.

If he wanted to leave, he could do it unnoticed.

He could make it so that no one could ever find him in this lifetime.

Yin Shao felt despair and squatted down, clutching his head tightly with his hands.

His eyes were filled with regret.

In fact, he should have known that Bai Yu would hate him to the core.

How could he still be willing to stay by his side?

But he had been deceiving himself.

Wishfully thinking about compensating Bai Yu.

But he never wanted to consider whether Bai Yu needed his compensation.

Whether he would choose to leave or not.

At this moment, Bai Yu disappeared…

He left.

He must really hate himself!

Yin Shao stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard.

Was he never going to see that person again from now on?

His eyes turned bloodshot.

He was filled with indescribable pain.

He clenched his teeth tightly.

His fingers gripped his hair forcefully.

His mind was filled with excruciating pain.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a slow sound of footsteps.

A pair of familiar feet appeared before him.

His heart pounded “thump, thump.”

Yin Shao lifted his head abruptly.

He saw the young man standing before him.

There was a hint of paleness on his face, mixed with a tinge of turmoil and determination.

Yin Shao almost felt like he was in a dream.

He swallowed hard, stood up abruptly, and tightly embraced Bai Yu.

“Bai Yu, you’re back.”

Then he heard Bai Yu’s voice, slightly hoarse.

He said, “Yin Shao, I’m hungry. I want to eat sugar-coated haws…”

—

Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Yin Shao’s heart ached.

He could never forget the time when he went to Bai Yu’s home to find him, but instead of finding Bai Yu, he could only see the three strings of sugar-coated haws lying on the ground.

For a long time, the sugar-coated haws were like a nightmare, existing in Yin Shao’s heart.

They were clearly such delicious and tempting food.

But Yin Shao was afraid to face them.

Not to mention eating such food.

Even hearing those three words made him feel fearful.

Because whenever he saw the sugar-coated haws, it reminded him of the despaired expression Bai Yu had shown when he tried to take his elixir in the end.

Those three strings of sugar-coated haws were the gift he bought for Bai Yu.

But because of him, Bai Yu never got to eat those sugar-coated haws and was transformed back to his original form.

However, now that he heard Bai Yu mention the sugar-coated haws, aside from feeling heartache for Bai Yu, there was also remorse in his heart.

That suffocating feeling, which made it difficult to breathe, was gone.

Because his Bai Yu had come back…

The person who haunted his dreams had returned…

Yin Shao had thought that he would spend the rest of his days in despair and regret…

Wandering endlessly in unbearable suffering and pain.

But…

Bai Yu never left him in the end.

Instead, he returned to his side.

“Bai Yu, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Yin Shao tightly embraced Bai Yu, wishing he could merge him into his own flesh and blood.

“Bai Yu, I love you, I’m sorry. I love you…”

Those words that he used to be so stingy to say, Yin Shao was now saying them continuously.

He wanted to shout it out loud to Bai Yu.

He wanted Bai Yu to see his heart.

“I’m sorry. I really love you. I like you.”

Yin Shao’s words became incoherent.

He had never felt such a strong liking in his heart before.

He used to not know how to love someone.

But now he knows…

This is how it feels to love someone.

It means wanting to be with him forever.

“Mm.”

Bai Yu gently curled up his lips and rested his head on Yin Shaoduan’s shoulder.

Being able to be together is enough…

—

On a lush and verdant tree, Bai Yu leisurely sat, swinging his feet. He had a stalk of dogtail grass in his mouth.

The sunlight generously bathed his body, casting a golden glow on him.

He leaned against the tree, half-closed his eyes, and curled up his lips slightly.

It was rare to have such comfortable weather, being able to sit here early in the morning was the most pleasant thing.

A gentle breeze brushed past, carrying a hint of coolness but also bringing boundless vitality.

The peach tree he was sitting on was in full bloom.

At this moment, the scene of countless peach blossoms blooming was unbelievably beautiful.

Bai Yu enjoyed this feeling.

These days, he especially liked sitting here and admiring the beautiful scenery.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw Yin Shaoduan rushing out of the house in a hurry.

He ran while shouting, “Bai Yu!”

His voice trembled with fear.

Bai Yu immediately stood up from the tree trunk, then pushed off with his hand and jumped down from the tree.

“Having a nightmare again?”

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, before he could even lift his foot, Yin Shao hurriedly ran over and tightly embraced him.

His strength was so great that he nearly knocked Bai Yu down.

“Thank goodness you’re still here.”

Yin Shao gasped for breath, his whole body clearly terrified.

Bai Yu frowned slightly, showing a touch of helplessness on his face.

Since he regained his consciousness, Yin Shao had been having nightmares every few days.

And every time, he dreamt of Bai Yu disappearing.

If Yin Shao woke up and didn’t see him, he would be like this.

As if he had been greatly frightened.

“It’s okay, I’m here.”

Bai Yu gently patted Yin Shao’s back with his hand.

He never thought that this cold and ruthless demon hunter would become so fragile.

“Yin Shao, when I woke up, I just came out to catch my breath. Look, the peach blossoms are so beautiful!”

Bai Yu pointed with his finger at the peach blossoms behind him, diverting the topic.

This tree was in full bloom, and the pink petals gently fell, like colorful radiance from the sky…

Looking at this beautiful scene, even his mood became relaxed.

Yin Shao hugged him from behind.

Feeling the person in his embrace.

The intense panic in his heart gradually eased.

“Don’t run around like that anymore. I’ll be frantic if I can’t find you.”

Yin Shao said as he held Bai Yu tightly, embracing him even tighter.

Bai Yu helplessly curled up his lips.

This feeling of being needed by another person was quite good.

He leaned his head on Yin Shao’s shoulder and gently nodded.

Yin Shao then kissed Bai Yu’s cheek.

Bai Yu’s whole body leaned softly against him, and at this moment, being kissed by him, he couldn’t help but respond.

As if receiving encouragement from Bai Yu, Yin Shao turned him around, pressing him against the peach tree behind and impatiently kissing him.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, passionately entangled.

Bai Yu’s mouth was sweet, even his saliva carried an enticing taste.

This kiss made Yin Shao’s whole being intoxicated.

He tightly embraced Bai Yu, passionately kissing him. His tongue had long been sweeping through every corner of his mouth.

He almost wanted to merge himself with this person.

Their breath became even more rapid.

The ambiguous sounds reverberated.

However, at this moment, a black smoke emerged around them.

Then came a coughing sound.

A mark in the shape of a well appeared on Yin Shao’s head.

He almost wished he could stick a binding talisman on the head of the person who had arrived.

Yin Shao’s face became gloomy.

How could that wretched person help that snake demon! He was almost about to explode with anger.

After sending away Chi Xun, Yin Shao’s expression remained unpleasant.

He was still sulking.

Not only did Bai Yu prevent him from dealing with Chi Xun, but he also chatted with him for quite a while.

Yin Shao felt wronged, and he locked himself in the room.

When Bai Yu entered the room from outside and closed the door, he saw Yin Shao’s expressionless face and knew that this guy was feeling sour again.

Bai Yu found it somewhat amusing and hugged Yin Shao from behind.

“What’s wrong?”

Yin Shao coldly snorted, “I’m angry, jealous. If you don’t come over, I might just dissolve into sourness here.”

Bai Yu could only helplessly look at his childish behavior.

He kissed Yin Shao on the side of his face, trying to comfort him, “Is this enough? Are you still angry?”

Yin Shao pursed his lips.

“No, not enough.”

“How about this?”

Bai Yu walked in front of him, tilted his head, and looked at him, then kissed Yin Shao’s mouth.

“Is this enough?”

“No, it’s this number.” Yin Shao said while extending his hand toward Bai Yu, gesturing a number.

“Ten times, alright.”

Bai Yu blinked at Yin Shao and kissed him again, “So it’s still lacking…” Nine times.

However, before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu was directly pressed onto the bed by Yin Shao.

His mouth was forcefully sealed again.

…

Bai Yu lay completely limp on the bed.

In the time span of half an incense stick, he felt his brain was blank.

It had been so long since he had experienced such passion that he almost didn’t know who he was anymore.

His entire body was exhausted and unable to move.

The antagonist had too much energy. If there were another round, he felt he would die in bed.

While gasping for breath, Bai Yu complained in a low voice.

“I thought we agreed on ten kisses… Why did you…”

“Who said it was ten kisses?”

Yin Shao, wearing a cunning expression, winked at Bai Yu, then lowered his head to kiss his lips.

“The number I gestured earlier was to tell you that we’re going to do it ten times tonight!”
