I Fell In Love With My White Moonlight's Arch-Enemy | 我爱上了白月光的死对头 [BL]

Chapter 5

After Lord Zezhou promised me that we would talk about it later, after waiting for a whole year, the talk did not come. Instead, he raised me like a pretty house pet, completely without the slightest use.

However, he would give me several pills to consume every day, saying that it was used to stabilize the soul.

The pills were unpalatable, tasting extremely bitter and were even unusually large. I gritted my teeth and swallowed it one by one but would always end up choking in tears.

Day after day, I consumed the pills, but I didn't feel like it did anything. Instead, my belly would often swell and my head would occasionally feel uncomfortable.

But I didn't dare stop eating them, I was afraid Immortal Lord Zezhou would discard me, afraid he would think I was a burden.

***

Immortal Lord Zezhou treated me really well. One time, he came across Lu Yan bullying me and reprimanded him, even punishing him to sweep the library.

After a few days, while he was out, Lu Yan brought a group of people to take revenge on me, forcing me to drink the dirty water in the pond and stepping on me, pointing at my nose and spitting out verbal abuse.

My face was half submerged in the water, half being stomped by Lu Yan. Dirty water seeped into my eyes, making me feel stinging pain.

But I didn't cry. In that instant, for some reason, I suddenly recalled Xie Lin.

He was afraid that I wouldn't eat my fill at Qing Xu Sect and told Immortal Lord Zezhou I needed to eat four-five meals a day.

I was now able to eat until I was full but I was still being bullied. It hurt trying to bear the beating everyday. Sometimes I was in so much pain I couldn't breathe, coughing out blood directly.

I blinked my wet eyes and thought to myself, why did Xie Lin's bullying feel comparably gentler?

***

Lu Yan bent down and pinched my chin, threatening me not to tell Immortal Lord Zezhou, otherwise, he was going to throw me into the snake pit behind the mountain.

I naturally wouldn't tell Lord Zezhou, I was worried he would think I was being too meddlesome and provoke his vexation in the end.

But I couldn't understand. Why did Lu Yan, who came from a distinguished background, harbor such sinister and malicious thoughts? Was it because Immortal Lord Zezhou made an exception and brought me to the Qing Xu Sect?

***

Actually, I felt a bit regretful. There was nothing that was bad about the demon world. Xie Lin loved to scare me but I didn't fear him at all. His second highness's temper was also good, it was just that Xun Xi was a bit scary. However, as long as I don't approach his second highness, he wouldn't pay me any heed at all.

Yet, Immortal Lord Zezhou called them villains, harboring penchants for crime, caring only about their greed and completely without the slightest morals.

I reminisced the days I spent in the demon world and silently drew a conclusion in my heart. It turned out that villains could also live happily, I actually felt a bit jealous.

But deep in my soul also hid an evil person's figure.

***

After Immortal Lord Zezhou came back, he held my wrist like usual and inspected the state of my soul. He then furrowed his brows and asked what happened to me in the past few days.

I wanted to conceal the matter but when I raised my head and came face to face with his anxious eyes, my heart warmed and the contents of everything spilled out of my mouth.
