Chapter 248: The Yandere Demon Lord 2

In order to prevent the villain from speaking recklessly and ruining her carefully maintained image as a gentle immortal master, the original owner never allowed Lin Tongyin to leave Yunhua Peak.

Whenever visitors came to see her, she would either hide him inside the house and forbid him from appearing, or deliberately blame every mess and mistake on him before pretending to discipline him with heartbroken concern.

And in this way, the hatred Lin Tongyin felt toward her grew deeper and deeper.

…

Half a year later, a Changyun Sect disciple accidentally stumbled upon a hidden secret realm inside a valley.

Because the realm was filled with vicious demonic beasts, a large number of disposable “bait” would be needed to explore it safely.

Seeing an opportunity to get rid of Lin Tongyin once and for all—and eliminate the possibility of her true nature being exposed—the original owner personally threw him into the secret realm.

She had believed Lin Tongyin would undoubtedly die there.

But instead—

The villain encountered a heaven-defying opportunity and rose like a dragon ascending to the skies.

From that point onward, his cultivation advanced at terrifying speed.

And after eventually regaining his true power, the first thing he did…

Was seek revenge on the original owner.

He dug out her heart.

Cut off her nose.

Beat every bone in her body into powder until she collapsed into a puddle of mangled flesh.

Yet even then, he deliberately kept her alive with precious medicinal pills, making death impossible.

Life worse than death—

That was exactly what she experienced.

…

Just imagining the consequences of offending the villain made Tang Wan shudder instinctively.

At that moment, Little Cutie’s voice sounded again.

“Host, the mission has been issued! Your task is to successfully”attack” the villain, Lin Tongyin, and prevent him from leading the demon army to massacre the thirty-six human cities!”

Hearing this, Tang Wan curled her lips unhappily.

Because she knew perfectly well why Lin Tongyin had later slaughtered those thirty-six cities.

Back when he was being tortured by the original owner, only the heroine, Su Muyan, had ever shown him kindness once while he was half-dead.

As a result, the villain fell in love with her.

Later, after Su Muyan was disfigured by a princess who was also in love with the male lead, the princess arrogantly declared that only the destruction of Su Muyan’s nation would satisfy her hatred.

And to vent his anger on behalf of the heroine—

Lin Tongyin directly led the demon army to flatten the entire kingdom.

The nation was annihilated overnight.

But that event also became one of the major reasons the righteous path later united to besiege him again.

…

Still, none of that mattered right now.

The most important issue was—

How exactly was she supposed to raise the favorability of a little disciple whose affection toward her sat at negative one hundred?

Tang Wan had absolutely no doubt that if the favorability system didn’t have a minimum limit, Lin Tongyin’s hatred toward her could probably pierce straight through the earth’s core.

She really wanted to cry.

…

After silently shedding a tear of sympathy for herself, Tang Wan lowered her gaze toward Lin Tongyin.

At this point, he was only around ten years old.

When he had first entered the Changyun Sect, although he’d been thin, at least he had still looked healthy.

But now…

Not only had he lost one eye, his entire body was covered in whip scars left by the original owner.

He was treated no differently than a servant.

What was even more shameless was that the original owner actually described all this abuse as “training.”

Thinking about the gigantic mess left behind for her, Tang Wan couldn’t help sighing internally.

Then she said lightly to Lin Tongyin:

“You may leave.”

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin visibly paused, clearly surprised.

After all, these past few days, she had constantly ordered him around without allowing him even a moment of rest.

But fearing Tang Wan might suddenly change her mind, he quickly lowered his head and replied:

“Yes, Master.”

Then he turned around expressionlessly, preparing—as usual—to kneel and crawl his way out.

Because that, too, had been one of the original owner’s rules.

Seeing this, Tang Wan’s eyelids twitched violently.

“Stand up and walk out,” she said immediately.

The moment those words fell, Lin Tongyin’s remaining eye narrowed slightly.

But in the end, he only replied coldly:

“Yes, Master.”

Then he slowly rose to his feet and staggered out of the room on unsteady legs.

…

After Lin Tongyin finally left, Tang Wan let out a long breath of relief before collapsing weakly onto the couch.
