Please, Expel Me! I Need to Activate My Villain System! - Chapter 16:

Chapter 16: I’m a Villain, Why the Hell Am I Touched?!

“As expected!” Qin Fan sneered coldly, his gaze sharp as lightning as he stared at Ye Chen. “Senior Brother, you calculated everything from the start. You knew I’d participate in the trial and deliberately smeared beast-attracting herb on my storage pouch!”

“But you didn’t expect Second Senior Sister would stay by my side the entire time, did you?”

“That whole act of yours just now—wasn’t it all to lure her away, so the beasts could kill me while she wasn’t looking?”

“What a nice move—killing with a borrowed knife!”

“Enough!” Ye Chen’s face twisted, killing intent erupting from his eyes. “Qin Fan! How dare you slander your Senior Brother!”

Clang! Xia Qingyue’s sword suddenly shot from its sheath, the tip aimed straight at Ye Chen. “Senior Brother, that’s enough. I’m truly disappointed in you.”

[Ding! Xia Qingyue’s affection reset to 0]
[Luck Points -500]

Ye Chen looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned pale on the spot.

Everything he had carefully built up over the years in front of Xia Qingyue collapsed in an instant.

“Junior Sister… Let me explain…” Ye Chen tried to keep calm, suddenly switching to a tragic tone. “Since you don’t believe me, then even if I must sacrifice my life today, I will slay these three beasts to protect you!”

He stepped forward as if to rush out, but his eyes kept glancing at Xia Qingyue, waiting for her reaction.

Xia Qingyue sighed softly and turned her blade. “No need. Senior Brother, you should leave. I already said I’d protect Junior Brother Fan.”

[Ding! Xia Qingyue’s affection -50 (Extremely disappointed)]

Ye Chen froze.

How could this be?

For the sake of Qin Fan, Xia Qingyue was willing to risk her life?

That damn trash Qin Fan!

That piece of shit must die!

I have everything, but I’ve never lacked women liking me!

With that thought, a sinister glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

He sneered inwardly. “Foolish woman. Since you want to die, you can go to hell with that trash!”

“Take care, Junior Brother and Junior Sister. I do still have tasks to complete,” he said aloud, then quickly turned and ran.

Beside him, Qin Fan stood frozen in place.

He had really been touched by Xia Qingyue.

He never imagined that the usually cold and distant Second Senior Sister would go this far to protect him.

Is Xia Qingyue actually dumb? Or pretending?

Three Gale Wolves, eyes bloodshot, lunged at them. The beast-attracting herb’s scent made them drool madly.

Xia Qingyue could have easily abandoned him and retreated unharmed.

But instead, she stayed in front of him, shielding him completely, not retreating a single step.

“Second Senior Sister…” his throat tightened. “Maybe… you should go first?”

Xia Qingyue didn’t reply. She held her sword horizontally, the snow-white blade reflecting her slightly flushed, yet beautiful face.

Qin Fan had to admit—she looked breathtaking right now.

“Junior Brother Fan, step back! Give me the storage pouch!” she said, still in that cold tone, yet it stirred something in him.

She’s not dumb.

She’s really… protecting me.

In that moment, Qin Fan suddenly felt that even if it was just for Xia Qingyue, he had to become the ultimate villain—to save her from fire and blood.

Because he knew—if he gave up now, Ye Chen had a hundred ways to win her back.

After all, he was the Child of Destiny!

Whoosh! With a flick of her finger, a small golden talisman sword shot out.

“Slash!”

The sword light gleamed like snow, vanishing in a blink.

Howl! Three ferocious wolf heads flew off at once, blood spraying everywhere.

Qin Fan’s eyes widened.

The terrifying Gale Wolves were now just headless corpses.

Xia Qingyue… was that powerful?

She did it in one move?!

“S-Senior Sister…” he swallowed hard, voice trembling.

Xia Qingyue suddenly staggered, her face going pale. “Quick… take out the treasure… throw away the storage pouch…”

Only then did Qin Fan notice the golden talisman sword between her fingers—a legendary talisman treasure!

“You… you’re only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and you forced yourself to use a talisman treasure?!”

Xia Qingyue’s breathing was unstable. “It’s fine… let’s just leave quickly…”

As dusk fell, Qin Fan said nothing more. He scooped her into his arms and sprinted away.

In the night wind, he felt her body tremble lightly in his arms. Her soft black hair brushed against his face, carrying a faint fragrance.

This woman… he really hated her and loved her all at once.

“Senior Sister,” his voice was hoarse, “I’ll remember this kindness for the rest of my life.”

A slight blush appeared on Xia Qingyue’s pale face. “S-Stop talking… just watch the road…”

…

Qin Fan carried Xia Qingyue into a hidden mountain cave.

Carefully, he laid her down on a dry bed of grass.

Moonlight shone through a crack, illuminating her pale and stunningly beautiful face.

“Senior Sister, your injuries—” he had just started speaking when his body suddenly trembled.

[Ding! Xia Qingyue’s current affection: 100]

“What the f*ck?!”

Qin Fan couldn’t help cursing out loud.

Affection at 100?

She’s basically ready to jump him, right?

There’s definitely something wrong with this woman’s brain!

The proud daughter of heaven from Falling Cloud Sect risking her life for a Qi Refining Realm trash like him?

This makes no damn sense!

And he was just moments ago crying over it like an idiot!

I’m a villain, damn it! Touched my ass!

Qin Fan instantly snapped out of it.

…

Three days later, the Azure Nether Secret Realm was about to close.

Ye Chen walked out with a dark expression.

Without Xia Qingyue’s help, he’d only found a few ordinary spirit herbs.

The opportunity he had spent months preparing for… completely wasted.

Meanwhile, in the mountain cave…

Qin Fan was pulling at his hair in frustration. “Senior Sister! I’m begging you, I really want to be expelled from the sect! Help me out!”

“No.” Xia Qingyue had already recovered, but her tone remained firm. “As long as I’m here, no one can kick you out.”

Qin Fan nearly spat blood.

This woman’s brain wasn’t just broken—it was shattered!

He, a dignified villain, was actually being protected by a righteous fairy maiden?

…

After returning to Falling Cloud Sect, Qin Fan completely gave up.

At the Jade Spring Peak’s martial practice ground, Qin Fan lay lazily under an old tree, chewing on a spirit herb.

Ever since learning Xia Qingyue’s stance, he’d lost all hope.

Thankfully, he had plenty of time now.

With Xia Qingyue’s protection and Immortal Yu Quan’s wariness, life was smooth.

He either napped in the Scripture Pavilion or messed around in the Alchemy Hall.

Sometimes, he even openly disrupted the Senior Sisters’ morning cultivation.

Inside the Alchemy Hall—

“Qin Fan! You made me blow up the furnace again!”

With a loud shout, the alchemy elder of Jade Spring Peak stormed over, furious. “This time I’ll report to the Peak Master and have you expelled!”

Qin Fan’s eyes lit up. “Please do! Go all out! Best if that old man kicks me out today!”

But by afternoon, Xia Qingyue came out of the Jade Spring Peak hall with a frosty expression.

It was said she personally declared that she would cover for Qin Fan and even paid out a large amount of spirit herbs, leaving Elder Ge speechless.

Elder Ge’s beard quivered. “Junior Sister Xia, why would you protect this wretch…”

Xia Qingyue smiled gently. “Elder Ge, my junior brother may be naughty, but I believe he’ll change.”

“This woman is insane, right?!” Qin Fan scratched his head in frustration. Xia Qingyue, how am I supposed to live like this?

“I just want to be expelled! And I can’t even offend an alchemist enough to get kicked out?!”

Worse yet—the sect’s Dao Debate Conference was approaching.

And this slacker… was arranged to attend alongside Ye Chen.

Obviously Xia Qingyue’s doing.

She was more dedicated to Qin Fan’s cultivation than a parent doing their child’s homework.

“She wants me to go debate with Ye Chen? I can’t even recite the preface of the ‘Jade Spring Manual’!”

Xia Qingyue quietly handed him a jade slip. “Junior Brother Fan, Second Senior Sister has already prepared everything for you.”

Qin Fan opened it—

‘Jade Spring Manual Cultivation Notes – Personally Written by Xia Qingyue’

On the first page, her elegant handwriting was accompanied by several playful little sword drawings—clearly added to help him focus.

Qin Fan gave a helpless smile.

Alright, fine!

If that bastard Ye Chen wants to show off at the Dao Debate Conference again—

Then this time, I’ll teach him a real lesson!
