Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 353 The Day I Voluntarily Confessed

Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao casually: "You killed her while you were trapped in the illusion."

"How is this possible?" Jiu Xiao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "I've been conscious the whole time, okay? I haven't killed anyone from beginning to end, okay? You could say I was lost in an illusion, mistaking her for my female dragon..."

Jiuxiao was halfway through his sentence when he glanced again at Liu Xueying lying on the ground. He couldn't help but gag, "Impossible, and I could never mistake her for a female dragon, anyway..."

"Anyway, I haven't killed anyone, nor have I done anything to her."

After Jiu Xiao finished speaking to himself, he didn't hear Ye Qing'an's response. A corner of his heart collapsed a little. After a moment of silence, he seemed to remember something and quickly turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "Did I really kill her?"

"Could it be that the roast duck and roast chicken I tore up earlier were actually eaten by Liu Xueying?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Liu Xueying is a person. It's unlikely that I would eat such a grown person like a roast chicken or duck, right?"

Jiu Xiao muttered to himself for a while, then glanced at Liu Xueying again. Liu Xueying's appearance with blood flowing from her seven orifices was truly frightening. Jiu Xiao glanced at her and quickly looked away: "Now that she's dead, what should we do?"

Jiu Xiao was in a bad mood: "If I had known she was so easy to kill, I should have killed her long ago..."

"So easy to die?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. "If it were that easy to die, you wouldn't have fallen into her illusion."

"Killing her is easy; the difficult part is resolving the various problems she leaves behind after her death."

Jiuxiao then remembered this incident and fell silent: "So what should we do now?"

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "Go and fetch Lan Qing."

"Lan Qing?" A look of confusion flashed across Jiu Xiao's face, but he quickly realized, "Lan Qing, isn't she the madam of that brothel? What do you want with her?"

"Just go find it when I tell you to, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Jiuxiao was reprimanded and left with his head down.

Only Ye Qing'an remained in the courtyard. With a flick of his long whip, the other end of the whip wrapped around Liu Xueying's corpse, and then he carried her body straight into the woodshed next door.

"Kill to silence witnesses and destroy the evidence."

A sound rang out in the quiet night. Ye Qing'an squinted and turned around, only to see Yi Moxu standing on the roof behind her, wearing a black robe that fluttered in the night wind.

"What are you here for?"

Yi Moxu raised his hand and leaped down from the roof, landing in front of Ye Qing'an: "The things you told me before, after I went back, the more I thought about them, the more something seemed wrong. The more I thought about them, the more it felt like a deathbed entrustment. I felt that something must have happened."

"But you have a kind of illusion that allows you to go wherever you want at any time. I didn't know where you would go, so I had people keep an eye on all the places you might go. Eventually, we found your trail here."

Yi Moxu glanced in the direction of the woodshed: "Ye Qinghao just left, and you've already dealt with Liu Xueying. Isn't that a bit... too hasty?"

Ye Qing'an did not refute, but pursed her lips: "I didn't mean to be in such a hurry. Last night, Jiu Xiao came to Liu Xueying's place to do something for me, but he couldn't go back. I just wanted to come and see what happened, but I ended up directly entering the illusion woven by Liu Xueying."

Upon hearing this, Yi Moxu sensed something was amiss. Those with higher-level Xuanling techniques could also weave illusions, but the illusions they created all had very obvious entrances and exits. Without entering through the entrance, one could not see the scenes within the illusion.

Only a special race can create an illusion that draws people in unconsciously without them realizing it.

"Is Liu Xueying Nightshade?"

Ye Qing'an smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Yes, Liu Xueying is Ye Mei. You didn't expect that, did you? I didn't expect it either."

“At first, I didn’t realize it at all. Because I was originally coming to this courtyard, and when I arrived, I saw Liu Xueying and her maid, Li Mama.”

"Everything I saw was exactly the same as in reality, so I didn't realize that I had fallen into an illusion. It wasn't until I saw that Granny Li had no shadow that I began to have some doubts. After that, I saw Jiuxiao's original form, which also had no shadow."

"It's likely that when Liu Xueying was weaving the illusion, she didn't realize it was nighttime and noticed such a tiny detail: in the illusion, apart from her, no one else had a shadow. So I deduced that, apart from her, the others were not human."

"The only thing that fits these characteristics is the illusion of the Night Demon."

Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, his brows furrowed. After a long while, he finally spoke: "It is said that the Night Demon's Illusion is both the ultimate paradise and the ultimate suffering place in the world. Very few people who fall into the Night Demon's Illusion are able to leave that illusion."

"You have already escaped the illusion of the Night Demon twice. You are indeed very impressive."

Ye Qing'an looked up. There were stars and a crescent moon in the sky. "Night Enchantress's illusion is not difficult to break. As long as you are determined, there is nothing you cannot break. Find the weaver of the illusion and kill her."

"So, you killed Liu Xueying?"

"Yes."

Yi Moxu nodded: "What happens after you kill him? What are your plans to do next?"

"There's no need for Your Highness to worry about that. Rest assured, since Liu Xueying's illusion didn't kill me, I'm no longer in any danger."

Yi Moxu clicked his tongue softly, but he understood in his heart that it was indeed as Ye Qing'an had said.

She discovered Liu Xueying's secret and killed Liu Xueying directly at her hands. Since that's the case, there's no danger now.

However, Ye Qing'an's demeanor clearly indicated that he was ready to kick her out.

Could it be that Ye Qing'an has some secret that he doesn't know?

Yi Moxu chuckled: "Fine, since you won't let me stay here, I'll leave. I'm just curious how many secrets you still have that I don't know."

"However, I'm not in a hurry. I can wait. I'll wait until the day you take the initiative to explain everything to me."

After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, waiting for the day she would take the initiative to confess to him.

She did hope that such a day would come.

As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, he noticed a summoning circle appear before him.

Is it Jiuxiao summoning her?

Ye Qing'an hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the summoning array.
