The Villain Loves Me Very Much

TL: Moonlit

Yin Shao held Bai Yu in his arms, looking at him crying so bitterly. Surprisingly, Bai Yu’s struggling hands slowly came to a halt.

It was as if he could sense the sadness in Yin Shao’s heart.

Even the mouth that was biting his shoulder loosened.

Bai Yu turned his head and looked at Yin Shao, blinking his eyes, motionless for a moment.

He didn’t understand why this person was crying like this.

At this moment, Bai Yu had no consciousness. Whatever he did, it was all relying on his animal instincts.

When Yin Shao originally carried him into the water, he was terrified due to the shock.

However, at this moment, he inexplicably became docile.

Not only did he stop biting Yin Shao, but he also rubbed his head against Yin Shao’s body.

His eyes were wet, as if telling him, “Don’t be sad anymore…”

Yin Shao looked at Bai Yu in pain, gently stroking his soft hair as tears streamed down his face.

The hot tears fell onto Bai Yu’s body…

Blending with the warm spring water.

Silent…

The pain in his heart felt like a thousand knives, causing his body to convulse.

Everything here used to be the little moments they shared together.

Back then, they laughed so happily…

Those unforgettable memories seemed particularly vivid at this moment.

Bai Yu’s cries, Bai Yu’s laughter, Bai Yu’s adorable and soft appearance when he was happy…

All of it felt like it was just yesterday.

These were things that should have been experienced recently…

But why were they terrifying enough to make him feel like he was breaking down?

Yin Shao held Bai Yu tightly, so tightly…

He really wanted to hold onto this person…

Even though he was already in his embrace…

He could feel the warmth of Bai Yu’s body, the breath he exhaled, and even see every pore on his skin.

But he couldn’t feel his heart!

No matter how much he deceived himself.

However…

The person he deeply loved was already gone.

He had completely disappeared after being wounded all over by him…

No matter how many years he accompanied him in the future, it would be useless.

He could never make up for his mistakes.

“Bai Yu…”

Yin Shao clenched his teeth, completely immersed in a painful sadness.

He thought that this must be heaven punishing him harshly.

Punishing him for not being able to see his own heart.

So it took away Bai Yu’s heart…

“Bai Yu, come back… please? Don’t leave me!”

Yin Shao howled in pain.

However, no matter how much he howled, it had already lost all meaning.

The person he loved had completely vanished…

—

Late at night.

Yin Shao lay in bed, holding Bai Yu.

The turbulence they experienced today left Bai Yu extremely exhausted.

He curled up obediently and fell asleep in Yin Shao’s embrace.

The way Bai Yu slept looked the same as before.

As if when he opened his eyes, he would still be the Bai Yu from before.

He would speak, smile, and even play melodies for him.

Back then, Bai Yu always liked to sleep while holding onto Yin Shao.

At first, Yin Shao didn’t allow it, but later Bai Yu insisted, and it gradually became a habit.

Actually, when they were together, Bai Yu always put in more effort.

Back then, no matter how cold Yin Shao was towards him, Bai Yu always looked at him warmly, as if nothing had happened…

Yin Shao stared at Bai Yu with his eyes open, even though he was extremely exhausted, he couldn’t fall asleep…

His mouth gently approached Bai Yu’s lips and kissed them softly.

He loved him.

He deeply loved him.

But he had lost him…

However, at that moment, Bai Yu, who was still in a deep sleep, seemed startled. His body trembled for a moment, and he made a few sobbing sounds.

He opened his eyes, his face filled with fear…

“Bai Yu, are you okay?”

Yin Shao was startled and quickly reached out to hold Bai Yu.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Yin Shao tried his best to comfort Bai Yu.

He wanted to tell him that he was here, that there was no need to be afraid.

However, his words were completely useless to Bai Yu.

Because Bai Yu’s fear at the moment came from Yin Shao himself.

Bai Yu kept trying to break free from Yin Shao’s embrace.

His hands scratched haphazardly at Yin Shao’s body.

His nails were sharp and caused Yin Shao pain.

Yin Shao grabbed Bai Yu’s hand, trying to hold him in his arms.

But Bai Yu waved his hand, and his sharp nails left several long scratches on Yin Shao’s face.

The red bloodstains stood out on Yin Shao’s face, and fresh blood instantly oozed out.

Bai Yu even kicked Yin Shao hard on his body.

Yin Shao groaned in pain and immediately released his grip on Bai Yu’s hand, which he held tightly before.

But as he let go, Bai Yu rolled directly under the bed.

A loud thud echoed abruptly.

Bai Yu fell heavily, his eyes reddening from the pain, and his mouth opened, revealing an expression about to cry.

Yin Shao was startled.

Ignoring his own pain, he quickly bent down, wanting to lift Bai Yu back up.

Just at that moment…

A “drip-drip” sound echoed seemingly out of thin air.

It was as if something had fallen from Yin Shao’s body.

Bai Yu followed the sound and saw a transparent bead rolling on the ground, spinning for a while before coming to a stop.

Bai Yu’s eyes, which were once dim, suddenly brightened.

The bead emitted a familiar aura, filling Bai Yu with a sense of closeness.

He ran over and grabbed the bead, refusing to let go. The brightness in his eyes grew stronger.

Yin Shao looked at this scene, his whole body stunned, only to realize that the bead Bai Yu held was his own inner core.

Before Yin Shao could react, Bai Yu swallowed the inner core in one gulp.

A white light instantly radiated from Bai Yu’s body.

Yin Shao widened his eyes, his heart pounding rapidly.

How could he be so foolish?

It was because Bai Yu lost his inner core that he lost all his consciousness.

And now, he swallowed the inner core.

Could it be…

However, this inner core had already lost all its spiritual energy. According to reason, this inner core was no different from an ordinary stone.

Would it be useful for Bai Yu to consume this inner core?

His heartbeat grew faster and faster.

Yin Shao cautiously approached Bai Yu but saw Bai Yu clutching his lower abdomen in pain.

The look in his eyes was no longer vacant and dull but filled with discomfort.

“Bai Yu… What’s wrong with you?”

Yin Shao’s heart filled with anxiety, and he quickly embraced Bai Yu.

“Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?”

The inner core had been handled by his master, and Yin Shao didn’t dare to let Bai Yu consume it.

But he didn’t expect such an unexpected turn of events.

However, in the next moment, he heard Bai Yu’s voice, unusually weak, echoing in his ear.

“You jerk… I hate you…”

Yin Shao was completely stunned, and in that instant, his mind went blank.

His heart was pounding so hard as if it was about to leap out of his body.

After a while, he finally realized what had happened.

That was Bai Yu talking to him…

It was Bai Yu’s voice!

It really was Bai Yu!

“Bai Yu…”

“Bai Yu!”

“You’ve come back, haven’t you?”

Yin Shao suddenly became incoherent to the extreme.

His face carried a smile, and tears of joy streamed down his cheeks.

He couldn’t believe that Bai Yu had returned. He was on the verge of going insane.

“Bai Yu…”

“Bai Yu…”

Yin Shao tightly embraced Bai Yu, continuously calling his name.

He was both crying and laughing.

His emotions were incredibly intense.

“Yes, I’m a jerk! I’m the biggest jerk in the world. Please don’t leave me again. Bai Yu… I love you…”

Yin Shao kept saying such words.

He truly realized how terribly he had erred.

He would never leave Bai Yu again, never…

However, Yin Shao hadn’t had the chance to say all of this.

The light on Bai Yu disappeared.

Everything returned to how it was before.

Bai Yu’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

He tilted his head and looked at Yin Shao, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred, and he started struggling intensely again.

He used both his hands and feet, his mouth never stopped.

Yin Shao stared blankly at him.

He felt that what he had heard just now was like his own illusion.

Could it be that he missed Bai Yu so much that he had these delusions?

No…

That wasn’t right.

He couldn’t have misheard.

It truly was Bai Yu!

—

An extremely sharp sword pierced through Chi Xun’s chest, emitting a scorching light.

Yin Shao’s gaze was incredibly cold.

“Tell me how to restore Bai Yu’s consciousness.”

Chi Xun looked at him with a frustrated expression. Yin Shao, that damn guy, had immobilized him with a binding talisman for an entire day.

He had struggled with all his might to break free from the talisman’s restraint.

He didn’t expect Yin Shao to rush in again and stick another binding talisman on him.

Chi Xun felt utterly helpless.

“I have no way. If I had a solution, I would have restored his consciousness long before you arrived. It’s impossible to wait until the day you came.”

Yin Shao’s complexion was already unsightly, and upon hearing Chi Xun’s words, it was as if he had been immersed in ice.

“Bai Yu spoke to me yesterday after consuming his inner core,” Yin Shao paused, “But after saying a few words, he returned to his current state.”

“Do you have his inner core?”

Chi Xun’s expression slightly changed, “Release me, and I’ll check on him.”

Yin Shao forcefully tore off the binding talisman attached to Chi Xun’s head and brought Bai Yu in front of him.

He saw Chi Xun placing his hand on Bai Yu’s lower abdomen, and white light overflowed from his palm.

Chi Xun’s complexion turned somewhat grim, “The inner core has returned, but it’s a useless core without any spiritual energy. It’s completely useless. Even if you feed it to him, it won’t work.”

Yin Shao glared fiercely at him.

“So, I’m asking you, what method is there?”

“There is a method, but you definitely won’t be willing.”

Chi Xun’s words were filled with irony.

“Have you heard that the Huayang Sect guards an immortal herb? It can replenish the missing spiritual energy of a demon.”

Chi Xun didn’t say everything, but Yin Shao already understood his meaning.

It was asking him to make a choice between his sect and Bai Yu.

A demon catcher not catching demons but betraying his sect for a demon, even using the precious treasure of the sect to save this demon.

This would make him the shame of the entire demon catcher world.

It would also make his master thoroughly disappointed in him.

Yin Shao had always been his master’s pride, the respected senior brother in the sect.

But for Bai Yu, he was willing to sacrifice everything.

He introspected deeply. Was he truly willing?

Yin Shao frowned, then turned his head to look at Bai Yu, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He held Bai Yu’s hand and took determined steps forward.

“Let’s go.”

“Where are you going, Yin Shao?” Chi Xun’s voice came from behind Yin Shao.

“What do you think?”

A gentle smile curved Yin Shao’s lips.

In this world, was there anything more important than Bai Yu?

He had never known the answer before.

That’s why he committed such a terrifying mistake.

But he wouldn’t do it again…

He gently rubbed Bai Yu’s soft hair with his hand and replied:

“Of course, we’re going back to the sect to get the immortal herb.”
