I am the Ultimate Villain, So What If I Kill a Protagonist

223: Chapter 223 Singing is alrightUpon hearing the moving lyrics blooming from Chu Yuan’s mouth, Master Bai Mudan felt a deep resonance, as if she and the man before her were lovers who had once shared a romance, and a sense of sweetness melted into her heart.

”You and I, tangled and dancing, flying across the mortal world, following each other forever. When the autumn wind ends and the autumn leaves pile up, having you by my side to wither together is a life without regrets.”

Master Bai Mudan kept her eyes tightly closed, struggling to recall the artistic conception brought by this song.

Her entire heart had long since become turbulent because of this song from Chu Yuan, and her inner feelings were uncontrollable, beginning to thump wildly.

Master Bai Mudan looked like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen, but in reality, she was already in her thirties.

If she were a normal woman at this age, let alone dating, her children would likely already be in middle or high school.

Unfortunately, Master Bai Mudan was destined not to be an ordinary woman. Although she had lived for over thirty years, the vast majority of that time had been spent in a mercenary career, struggling for survival and constantly hovering on the edge of life and death.

This was also why, after finding such a promising talent in Ye Yun, she had poured all her efforts into passing on all her skills to him, and had even handed over the position of the Master of the Nether Palace to Ye Yun.

It was precisely because Master Bai Mudan had struggled for so long that she was tired; she just wanted to let go and search for the things she truly sought.

At this moment, Master Bai Mudan was like a piece of transparent white paper, until this very moment. Because of Chu Yuan’s methods, that piece of white paper was already filled with the things Chu Yuan needed.

Chu Yuan just held Master Bai Mudan quietly, embracing her while singing, causing Master Bai Mudan to thoroughly experience the awakening of first love.

The corners of Chu Yuan’s mouth moved, exhaling a trace of hot air that blew directly into Master Bai Mudan’s ear.

She had already been completely stripped bare by Chu Yuan. Even in front of him, Master Bai Mudan had been able to maintain a forced composure.

Yet at this moment, her entire body was trembling slightly, unable to control herself.

Just as Chu Yuan had said earlier, his rendition of ”Two Butterflies” caused an impact on Master Bai Mudan’s heart that was truly immeasurable, far stronger than the effect of watching a movie.

”It seems this man isn’t as useless as I imagined; he still has some uses.”

Master Bai Mudan leaned quietly against the man’s shoulder, gazing at that unfamiliar face.

It seemed that only a moment ago, she had been shouting to kill him, wanting to destroy this man who disgusted her.

The more Master Bai Mudan looked at Chu Yuan, the more pleasing he seemed; it appeared the other party wasn’t quite as detestable as she thought.

Master Bai Mudan leaned quietly on the man’s shoulder, looking at the guy who, just a second ago, she had wanted to kill—the guy she had found so disgusting.

At least for now, she suddenly realized that Chu Yuan wasn’t so detestable that she wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces.

Regardless of how much talent Chu Yuan had, just his singing ability alone was quite likable. He really sang that well.

His handsome features and deep eyes revealed a hint of cleverness.

Although he was a hoodlum, he wasn’t a completely useless one.

It had to be said that this hoodlum looked quite good; he was somewhat handsome, and could be considered a dashing young man.

Master Bai Mudan glanced sideways, looking Chu Yuan up and down. That face was truly memorable.

Her various dissatisfactions with Chu Yuan vanished into thin air at this moment.

For some reason, Master Bai Mudan felt like a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law; as she looked at that resilient face again, she liked him more and more.

”Boss, I wonder how my rendition of ’Two Butterflies’ was just now? I hope it helped alleviate some of your pain.”

”If you aren’t satisfied, I can sing a different one for you.”

Chu Yuan had finished singing the entire song ”Two Butterflies,” and while asking Master Bai Mudan, he reached out and gently stroked her hair, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

It seemed he hoped his efforts would be rewarded.

One must know that in the era of Chu Yuan’s past life, when ”Two Butterflies” had just become popular, its influence was terrifyingly vast.

It could be said without hesitation that this song had influenced one, or even two generations.

For those women, this song was also a tremendous impact on their hearts.

Especially the line, ”You and I, tangled and dancing, flying across the mortal world, following each other forever. When the autumn wind rises and the autumn leaves pile up, having you by my side to wither together is a life without regrets.”

Such a declaration and vow of eternal love was not something an average girl could resist.

Although Master Bai Mudan possessed terrifying strength, was ruthless in her actions, and was a figure who struck fear into the hearts of others.

Regardless, she was still a woman—a woman who had never experienced the torment of love.

Using his skills comparable to a prince of love songs, combined with a melancholic singing style and a devilishly charming voice, moving this woman before him was not a problem.

”Hmm, not bad. Your singing was… acceptable.”

Master Bai Mudan, who had been lost in thought, immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Chu Yuan’s question.

She glanced lightly at the man, who was hoping to receive some reward, or even a few words of praise, from her.

In reality, from Master Bai Mudan’s perspective, Chu Yuan’s singing was far more than just ”not bad.”

That voice from just a moment ago was simply the sound of nature; had the circumstances allowed, she would have even wanted to jump up and applaud for Chu Yuan.

However, given Master Bai Mudan’s habitually arrogant personality, she naturally couldn’t lower herself to praise a hoodlum like Chu Yuan in such a way. She had no choice but to be insincere and reluctantly offer a word of encouragement.

”Not bad,” ”acceptable”?

Hearing such perfunctory words, Chu Yuan rolled his eyes fiercely at Master Bai Mudan.

He didn’t know if this woman was truly capable of appreciating his songs.

With such a heavenly sound, even if she didn’t applaud, she should at least give a positive response.

Yet all he received were a few perfunctory remarks.

Master Bai Mudan had no idea what Chu Yuan was thinking or what his current inner psychological state was.

Remembering that she still had important business to attend to, she looked at Chu Yuan and began to instruct him.

”You sang well just now. Continue singing that song again.”

”When you reach the second half of the song, I will use my internal energy to seal off the muscles and blood vessels throughout my body. You must pay close attention to the changes in my wounds and, before large-scale bleeding occurs, find the right moment to extract all the bullets from my body.”

”If you delay, I will truly be done for here this time.”
