The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 75, The Whisper of the God of Love (Part Fifteen)

“Ah, it’s over.”

Mu En held the head of Ailuka, who had lost all her divinity, lowering his head, his eyes devoid of life as he murmured.

Like a salted fish, as if he had lost all hope for life.

Having gained power from a seemingly impressive evil god, now he was being targeted by another old scheming evil god.

It even remembered his name, full name and all!

—

At the mere mention of that name, I feel an itch in my teeth, wishing I could grab a kitchen knife and storm from People’s Street to Central Avenue just to temporarily vent the resentment in my heart.

Is there still a way to live like this? I’m waiting online, it’s quite urgent.

“Young Master!”

Just as Mu En was questioning his life, An suddenly rushed over, disregarding everything, and hugged him tightly.

The soft touch enveloped him, and Mu En could even feel An’s delicate body trembling slightly.

A lingering fear.

She almost lost sight of the Young Master forever.

Even though she had resolved to always maintain the elegance of a perfect maid, in moments like this…

It’s okay to be a little weak, right?

“Alright, alright, this isn’t the time for such things.”

Mu En patted An’s shoulder, “You have something more important to do.”

“More important?”

An looked bewildered.

What could possibly be more important than hugging the Young Master?

“Look at this…”

Mu En gestured for An to sit up properly, then showed her what he was holding.

Eluka’s head.

On that lovely, delicate face, all the previous distortions and grimaces had vanished.

It looked as if she were peacefully asleep.

But at that moment, Eluka’s fine eyelashes suddenly fluttered.

“Could it be…?” An couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

“That’s right, Eluka is still alive.”

Mu En nodded.

The will of the evil god cannot descend upon a lifeless object.

So even if only a head remains, the power of the evil god has inadvertently sustained her life.

However, this unexpected gift from the heavens cannot last too long.

So.

“Let’s make the most of our time.”

Mu En said softly.

—

“Ah, Master.”

Ailuka opened her eyes and looked at An, who was close by.

“Is everything… over?”

“Mm, it’s all over,” An replied.

However, after that brief response, An found herself at a loss for words as she gazed at Ailuka.

Suddenly, it struck her that they had never really had a proper conversation.

So, after a moment of silence, An awkwardly asked, “So… um, Ailuka, are you okay? How do you feel?”

“I feel… a bit of pain in my body.”

Ailuka seemed to stare into the void as she softly said, “Especially my chest, it hurts so much.”

“…”

An looked at Ailuka, who was left with only her head, and suddenly found herself at a loss for words again.

They fell into silence once more.

Just when Mu’en could no longer bear to watch and was anxiously about to remind An of the time, Ailuka suddenly said, “I’m sorry, Master, I lied to you.”

“Lied to me? What do you mean?”

“Actually, I was tainted by the evil god, and it has nothing to do with you, Master. At that time, I deceived you just because I didn’t want you to leave me.”

“…”

An took a heavy breath.

Then she smiled, “It’s okay, I don’t mind. After all, my reasons for saving you aren’t solely because of that.”

“Master…”

Tears slid down the corners of Ailuka’s eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

In her gaze, there was finally a hint of spirit.

“Actually, I’ve had a certain connection with the divine… with that evil god for quite a long time, trading the flesh and blood of beasts for some trivial help.”

“After all, Ade is too exceptional. If I didn’t use some means, I could never keep up with him.”

“And during this time, the evil god didn’t show any signs of abnormality.”

“Until that day, after talking with you, Master, I mustered the courage to confess to Ade.”

“Confession…”

An said softly, “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked you about the outcome yet.

So… it was a failure, right?”

After all, things had turned out this way.

“No, it was a success.”

Ailuka’s lips curled into a sweet smile: “I succeeded, Master.”

“Succeeded? Then why?”

“Because that night, Ade said he liked me too.”

“But… he said he couldn’t be with me.”

“Why?”

An was puzzled.

“How can two people who have mutual feelings not be together?”

“Because…”

Ailuka said softly:

“Tia is pregnant with his child.”

“…”

An’s breath caught.

“Ade said he has actually liked me for a long, long time, but he never dared to confess.

Then, during one of those nights of drinking away his sorrows, he ended up in a messy relationship with Tia, who came to comfort him, and naturally, Tia got pregnant with his child.

It’s such a cliché story, isn’t it? But that’s how it happened.

Ade is a responsible good man, so he won’t abandon Tia.

Naturally, he can’t accept my confession anymore.”

Ailuka’s expression was sad.

Compared to something unattainable, what could have been easily obtained slipped away from her fingertips.

This regret only deepened the darkness within her.

“… Did you not have any doubts?”

An couldn’t help but ask.

After all, the probability of getting pregnant on the first try is very low; it’s hard not to imagine it was intentional.

“I did have doubts.”

Ailuka replied:

“So I made a wish to that evil god; I wanted to know if Tia was really pregnant.”

“And so, when I woke up, I was covered in blood, having cut open Tia’s belly.”

“…Is that how it was?”

An recalled the girl whose belly had been ripped open.

“And the result was…”

“False.”

Ailuka began to sob softly:

“The so-called pregnancy was all a lie, just a scheme by Tia to monopolize Ade.

She used a bit of disguise magic to deceive Ade, making him believe it was true.

But no matter how powerful the disguise magic is, it cannot conceal the truth.

There was no child in her womb.”

“Master, the so-called love is so fragile, fragile enough that a single lie can easily tear apart two people who were meant to love each other.”

“I exposed the lie, but there was no turning back.”

“Because Ade saw.”

“He saw… me, with my own hands, cut open Tia’s belly.”

“How could Ade possibly be with a cruel woman like me? He even thought I was being controlled by the evil god, wanting to subdue me.”

……

……

“So, I made a second wish.”

“I want Ade to accept my love.”

Since then, everything became irretrievable.

……

……

“Master, I regret it so much.”

At the end of this conversation, which was almost a one-sided confession, Ailuka looked into An’s eyes, revealing a tragic smile for the first time.

“If only I could have met you sooner, Master.”

“If only I could have mustered the courage to confess to Ade earlier.”

“Perhaps then, this tragic ending could have been changed.”

“Unfortunately, there are no ‘ifs.'”

……

“Then, be happy, Master.”

“Prove to me that love can bring beautiful things.”
