After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 207 Welcome Back to Minecraft

Chapter 207 Welcome Back to Minecraft

Seeing Song Zhaohe walk away so lonely and dejected, Baili Ce felt a pang of sadness.

What he couldn't understand was not only her view of Wang Qingyan, but also her almost bottomless attitude towards achieving her goals.

But he never uttered a single critical word from beginning to end.

Such character is far inferior to Wang Qingyan's...

"Don't you think he's so much better than me?" A wave of hostility swept over him.

!!!

Bai Li Ce felt as if struck by lightning, and instinctively reached for the knife tucked at his waist, "Come..."

"..." Wang Qingyan teleported over instantly, and in a blur, he snatched her knife and stabbed her in the dantian with a finger.

Completely drained of his strength, Baili Ce was thrown to the ground. He looked at himself in disbelief, then at the overwhelming pressure emanating from Wang Qingyan in horror. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Wang Qingyan then leaned down and stared at her, his fangs bared like a venomous snake. "Go ahead and shout, why don't you? They haven't gone far anyway."

Trembling, Baili Ce looked up, his lips pale, unable to speak, "..."

He casually tossed the knife aside, straightened up, and looked at her pathetic state with a blank expression. "You weren't like this when you stabbed me."

"..." Bai Li Ce had already imagined hundreds of inhumane and brutal ways to die.

After a long while, she asked, her eyes red and trembling, "You...you...what...what are you?"

It's amazing that nothing happened!

what?

He crouched down to look her in the eye, and seeing her sobbing and unable to utter a coherent sentence, Wang Qingyan couldn't help but reach out to wipe away her tears...

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Seeing her tremble with fear and cover her head, she then withdrew her hands and put them behind her back.

"You said you've never regretted marrying me, and you don't think I'm a stain on your reputation, so why do you need to care what I am?"

"..." Bai Li Ce cried even more suppressedly.

Damn it, that's not what she meant at all! At least she grasped the key point when she was eavesdropping!

I picked her up from the ground and said, "Let's go home."

Bai Li Ce hesitated for a moment... but failed, and was even asked, "Aren't you going to hug me?"

"..." So she could only cover her mouth with one hand, deliberately crying very softly, and wrap her arms around his neck with the other.

Hold me tighter.

She hugged him tightly with both hands, leaning against his shoulder and sobbing uncontrollably.

On the tree-lined mountain path, Wang Qingyan's voice rose slightly, sounding quite pleased, "I won't kill him this time, after all, you did a good job~"

But where Baili Ce couldn't see, his gaze remained wicked and sinister...

......

By the time the patrol team found Wang Qingyan's disguise as an old woman in the alley, he had already left Qucheng.

After a thorough investigation, everyone discovered that Baili Ce had gone missing.

When Song Zhaohe returned to the scene after receiving the news, he heard from the patrol team that they hadn't caught anyone and there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. He then realized who had taken Baili Ce away.

The thought of how he had hesitated back then but didn't turn back because he didn't want her to look down on him made Song Zhaohe want to slap himself twice.

If he had looked back then, even just for a glance, or been more careful, or more generous in waiting for her to walk with him, perhaps she wouldn't have...

"Sigh..." Li Yuanzheng, who arrived later, saw that Song Zhaohe's face had turned pale with self-blame, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and comfort him, "It's not your fault."

“…” Turning his head and seeing Li Yuanzheng, Song Zhaohe cheered up again.

Indeed, now is not the time to be sad.

Undeterred, Song Zhaohe looked around and began to carefully search the ground inch by inch...

"Brother Song, what's this?"

"The young lady is exceptionally intelligent; she will surely leave us clues."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzheng thought it made perfect sense. "Yes! Let's all search together!"

......

"Found it!" Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone found a knotted thread.

However, before Li Yuanzheng and Song Zhaohe could speak, someone said, "It's just a loose thread on a piece of clothing, what can it mean?"

Song Zhaohe was startled, then glanced around and keenly noticed that several people in the crowd had the same strange expression as the man who was speaking, but pretended to be calm.

Then he glanced at Li Yuanzheng with a cryptic look.

Smart people don't need to say so much.

Li Yuanzheng quickly chimed in, "You brat! I told you to find clues, why are you looking for loose threads! Keep going, everyone!"

"Oh..." The guy who found the loose thread scratched his head sheepishly and continued to examine it closely.

"Search carefully, everyone..."

"We must find the clues left by Miss Baili."

As Li Yuanzheng spoke, he retreated back to Song Zhaohe's side.

While everyone was distracted, Song Zhaohe immediately took the token from behind Li Yuanzheng and made an excuse to leave.

There has been a long-standing tradition of using numbers to predict good or bad fortune.

The thread left by Baili Ce was tied with two knots. The number two is an ominous number, indicating that the foundation is unstable and the structure is about to collapse. If any action is taken, it will inevitably be in vain.

She must be reminding them not to rush into pursuing her.

So, the first thing he had to do was to gather strength.

"Lord Song, what brings you here?" Outside the Qucheng army camp, soldiers stopped Song Zhaohe as soon as they saw him.

Song Zhaohe brandished his token and said, "Take me to see your general immediately."

Mobilize troops as quickly as possible to block all exits within a hundred miles of Qucheng, and send people to take shortcuts to inform Shucheng and Jicheng to set up ambushes at checkpoints along the way.

He immediately wrote a proclamation to appease the people in the city and ensured the safety of food and water supplies. Song Zhaohe accomplished all of this in a smooth and efficient manner.

"Brother Song, today I, Li Yuanzheng, am truly impressed by you." In the county government office late at night, Li Yuanzheng sincerely gave a thumbs up.

"Stop talking about me, tell me how your investigation is going?"

After quickly writing the official document, sealing it, and having it sent out, Song Zhaohe couldn't wait to call right now. "This letter is for the fifth leader of Jicheng. Be quick!"

"Look how anxious you are," Li Yuanzheng said, taking out more than a dozen silver notes, land deeds, and a small knife.

“The people have been arrested. The first one was someone who started working for Wang Qingyan a year ago.”

"This small knife that Miss Baili often used was also hidden by this person. The others are under investigation."

After examining the evidence, Song Zhaohe's anger intensified. "Hmph, five thousand taels, he's quite generous."

"Ahem..." Li Yuanzheng simply bypassed the question and did not comment.

He then reminded him, "Wang Qingyan is cunning and may not return to Lincheng. Mobilizing troops is a major matter. I have already sent people to His Majesty's side, and I'm afraid we should also inform the cities heading to the border."

"The rest of the matters can be decided by Lord Li. However, whether Wang Qingyan returns or not, Lincheng will still be attacked."

......

Hugging himself and huddled in a corner of the carriage, Baili Ce buried his head in his knees like a quail, not wanting to look at Wang Qingyan even once more.

"If you're tired of crying, drink some water."

"..."

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

After a while, Baili Ce took the kettle from his hand.

One sip... and it's sweet?

"It's rose nectar."

Bai Lize tightened the water bottle and placed it aside, quietly looking out through the rising and falling carriage curtain...

A moment later, she silently rested her head on her lap, filled with despair and helplessness. "Just kill me already, I'm afraid of the pain. Be quick about it."

This is a "cut the rope" game. The person hanging on the edge of a cliff can do nothing but watch the rope break bit by bit.

Knowing you're going to die, and not knowing when the rope will break, amidst endless fear, having to listen to the hissing sound of the rope snapping and feel your body falling in throes, is truly agonizing.

"When did I ever say I was going to kill you?"

Bai Li Ce looked up, "I..."

"Isn't it just a normal couple having a disagreement? I'm not dead."

After saying that, he added, "If you're still angry, you can always stab me a few more times."

"..." It's over.

Bai Li Ce's heart was completely broken.

If he had just stabbed her to death or given her a good beating, that would have been fine.

But if he doesn't want to kill her, or even scold her... it only means that the real revenge has just begun.

Bai Li Ce trembled violently, his face drained of color. "Then where do you want to take me?"

This is not the road to Lincheng.

"You don't have to know."

In other words, from now on, it's possible that no one will ever be able to find her again.

What happened to the injuries on my body?

"I only gave you a little bit of nascent life force."

"When?"

"After you are on the verge of death."

The image of him grabbing him tightly that day and saying he wanted to start over flashed through Bai Lize's mind.

It turns out he wasn't joking.

"But don't worry, this will only restore you to your original state; it won't hurt, after all..."

He pulled her into his arms, pried her hands off, and threw the porcelain bottle she was clutching tightly out of the carriage. "I love you so much I'm crazy, I can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest grievance."

Staring blankly at him, there was no light left in Baili Ce's eyes.

But the emotions subsided in this most extreme way. "You plan to lock me up for the rest of my life?"

Wang Qingyan's eyes were filled with affection, but he didn't take it seriously. "It's about being together for a lifetime."

"......" She wanted to die, but having exhausted all her options, she could only obediently let Wang Qingyan hold her.

"I know you're tired, get some sleep."

As soon as she finished speaking, Baili Ce's eyelids began to droop. By the time she realized there was something wrong with the water she had just drunk, her brain had already uncontrollably gone into hibernation.

He gently kissed her forehead, then carefully held her as she slept. Wang Qingyan whispered something in her ear, like a devil's murmur—

Welcome back to my world.
