Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Miss Ji Your Illness is Quite Severe

“I need you to do a favor…” Ye Chen sighed deeply, speaking in a very humble tone. If Jiang Yun’er was unwilling to help him, he truly didn’t know what to do next.

Alone, he couldn’t possibly stand against the entire Jiang family. Even with Jiang Yun’er, it might not be much, but it’s better than nothing.

“What favor?” Jiang Yun’er asked, frowning. She hadn’t forgotten that Lin Xiyue had received benefits from Ye Chen to climb up, only to be duped by him in the end.

“Help deal with soone…”

“Who do you want to deal with?”

“The young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Che.”

“You want to deal with senior sister’s fiancé?” Jiang Yun’er’s face showed a strange expression. Was this guy now hating out of love?

“That’s right.” Ye Chen admitted straightforwardly. There was no need to hide anything at this point.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell senior sister about this?” Jiang Yun’er’s tone changed, sounding sowhat threatening.

“If you must do so, sister, I can’t help it.” Ye Chen gave a bitter smile. He had anticipated Jiang Yun’er might say this, but he really had no other option.

“I can help you, but what’s in it for ?” Jiang Yun’er’s eyes twinkled mischievously as she asked Ye Chen over the phone.

She wasn’t used to helping others for free! And Jiang Che had once dared to call her a primary school student! She hadn’t forgotten that slight.

“I have a Heavenly Fragrance Jade

Dew Pill here, I can give it to you.” After a mont of silence, Ye Chen reluctantly said, feeling a bit pained.

“Deal!” Jiang Yun’er quickly agreed, fearing Ye Chen might change his mind. The Tianxiang Yulu Pill was a precious item, and she couldn’t believe their master actually gave one to Ye Chen!

“Our master actually gave you such a precious thing, and we haven’t even seen it.” Jiang Yun’er complained a bit, showing how biased their master was towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gave an awkward smile without explaining much.

“Alright, let’s et and talk in detail.”

“Co to the et Coffee Shop opposite Jingsheng Garden in Linjiang City.” Jiang Yun’er said and then hung up the phone.

Ye Chen quickly got ready and took a cab straight to the coffee shop Jiang Yun’er ntioned.

…

At the et Coffee Shop, Ye Chen ordered a coffee and quietly waited for Jiang Yun’er’s arrival. About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yun’er, dressed in Lolita fashion with her legs wrapped in white stockings, appeared in Ye Chen’s view.

“Sister, it’s been a few years, and you haven’t changed a bit…” Ye Chen joked, looking at Jiang Yun’er, who looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen.

Ye Chen shouldn’t have ntioned it. The mont he did, Jiang Yun’er’s smile instantly froze. She hated it when people comnted on her looking young!

“Hand over the pill, then tell how I can help you!” Jiang Yun’er sat opposite Ye Chen, not giving him any friendly looks.

Ye Chen awkwardly touched his nose, realizing he had misspoken. Their relationship wasn’t good to begin with, and he knew her character. If he had angered her with his comnt, she definitely wouldn’t help him now.

Ye Chen took out the porcelain bottle containing the Tianxiang Yulu Pill and handed it to Jiang Yun’er. Once she confird it was the Tianxiang Yulu Pill, her face lit up with a smile again.

“Tell , how can I help you?”

“I need you to help find so dicinal herbs in the market.”

“What herbs?”

Jiang Yun’er asked, puzzled. She knew her junior brother was not only skilled in dicine but also in alchemy.

“Rhodiola, saffron, silkworm grass…” Ye Chen listed several rare dicinal herbs.

As he nad each one, Jiang Yun’er’s expression grew more and more intrigued. By the end, her face was full of astonishnt.

“You want to concoct the Seven Mortal Pill?”

“That’s right, I want to concoct the Seven Mortal Pill.”

Ye Chen firmly nodded. The Qi Can Dan was a forbidden pill of their sect, not to be concocted unless in a life-or-death situation.

The pill could skyrocket one’s cultivation in a short ti but would also cause irreversible damage to the body. Once the effect of the Qi Can Dan wore off, the user would likely perish, and even if they survived, they would be crippled for life.

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“You could think of other ways…” Jiang Yun’er advised earnestly. Despite their ordinary relationship, she didn’t want him to end up dead or crippled.

“I’ve made up my mind, sister, don’t try to persuade .” Ye Chen sighed deeply, closing his eyes. If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn’t resort to such a desperate asure. But he had no other option. Without the Qi Can Dan, he couldn’t contend against the entire Jiang family.

Was he supposed to hide in the deep mountains for ten years and then co back for revenge? Ye Chen couldn’t wait that long.

Every night, he would see Jiang Che’s mocking smile in his dreams. Knowing the person behind his family’s annihilation was still living carefreely was infuriating him to no end.

The reason he asked Jiang Yun’er to purchase these herbs was that he had no connections to obtain them. These rare herbs usually circulated only in high society, rarely leaking out.

“Alright, then. I’ll look into it for you. Wait for my ssage.” Jiang Yun’er glanced at Ye Chen, not saying anything more, and left with light steps.

She had said her piece; whether Ye Chen listened was his business. If soone is hell-bent on self-destruction, no one can persuade them otherwise.

“Jiang Che, wait for ! This ti, I will kill you!”

…

At Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che sat in the living room sipping hot tea, with Ah Qing obediently standing behind him, massaging his shoulders.

“Ye Chen t with Jiang Yun’er?” he asked in surprise upon hearing Ah Long’s report.

In the original story, the relationship between Ye Chen and Jiang Yun’er wasn’t very good, and Jiang Yun’er only appeared in the middle of the story.

It seed that they had reached so agreent, and it was probably aid at him! After all, Ye Chen’s primary target must be himself now.

“There’s another piece of news. After returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Yun’er announced she’s buying a large quantity of precious dicinal herbs like Rhodiola, Saffron, and Silkworm Grass. Not sure what she’s up to,” Ah Long said, puzzled.

“What did you say?” Jiang Che’s expression turned peculiar. “Jiang Yun’er is buying Saffron, Rhodiola, and Silkworm Grass?”

Realizing what Ye Chen was planning, Jiang Che’s face twisted in a grimace. It looked like Ye Chen was preparing to concoct Qi Can Dan, planning a mutual destruction!

“That’s right,” Ah Long nodded, still confused by Jiang Che’s reaction.

“Alright, I got it. You can leave now. Keep an eye on Ye Chen,” Jiang Che instructed.

“Yes,” Ah Long agreed and left.

Jiang Che looked at the skill ‘God-level Disguise Technique’ in his system, smirking coldly. It seed he hadn’t made Ye Chen suffer enough; the guy still had the nerve to bounce back. Ti for a new appetizer then! But first, he had a patient waiting for him upstairs.

Upstairs, in Jiang Che’s bedroom, Ji nglan watched him approach with terror. “Don’t co any closer…” she said, her voice trembling. She knew Jiang Che’s arrival ant nothing good, likely to boast his diocre dical skills again.

“It seems your condition hasn’t improved,” Jiang Che sighed, interpreting Ji nglan’s fear as a symptom of Androphobia.

It looked like the treatnt effects these past few days weren’t ideal. He felt the need to increase the frequency of her treatnts.

“Please… let go…” Ji nglan pleaded, her face full of dread. She deeply regretted her impulsive attempt to assassinate Jiang Che, only to fail and face his brutal treatnts daily.

“I could let you go…” Jiang Che suggested with a playful smile. “Just call ‘Dad’, and I’ll let you go.”

He knew Ji nglan was the type to forget lessons quickly. If he truly let her go now, she might co back to assassinate him again tomorrow. If she were to leave, he wanted her completely subdued.

“In your dreams!” Ji nglan bit back, enraged at his shalessness.

“Sigh, Miss Ji, your illness is quite severe,” Jiang Che said, shaking his head, then walked towards her.

“Jiang Che! I swear I’ll kill you!”
