--- Chapter 196 ---

"Xiao Yan, I Hate You!"

The choking and hateful voice of Gu Xun'er sounds like music in Baek Ain's ears.

And the following notifications sound even more beautiful.

[Ding! You have finished the 'Heroine, Open your eyes!' quest]

[Objective: Destroy Xiao Yan's image in Gu Xun'er's heart! (1/1)]

[Rewardarding 3x Bodhisattva's Hearts, 15x Bodhisattva's Seeds, Perk: Protagonist Halo's Nullification(Upgradeable)]

'Hahaha, fuck you!' Baek Ain smiled wickedly inside.

Even though Baek Ain actually hasn't done much to create a rift between Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er, he knew everything would change after their first conflict.

Yup, you heard that right. Baek Ain's first conflict with Xiao Yan in Wu Tan City is when the Beast Tamer and his horde attack. He rescued the city, but this dumb protagonist blamed him instead.

That immature impulse of Xiao Yan unknowingly sows a seed of doubt in Gu Xun'er's heart!

As Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er join the Jia Nan Academy, the seed slowly develops into a beautiful betrayal of trust by spreading his arms to other girls and ladies.

After making a fool of himself in Jia Nan's ceremony and letting the Fallen Heart Flame run away, Xiao Yan ran away from his mistake and left Gu Xun'er behind.

The abandonment was too much for a lonely Heroine like Gu Xun'er. Still, her heart stayed firm as she trusted Xiao Yan.

To make matters even worse, Xiao Yan attacked Gu Clan's members after they won the Miraculous Soul-Healing Medicine in an auction and placed Gu Xun'er at a breaking point.

Gu Xun'er was lonely and frustrated. She felt she wasn't as loved as before anymore.

Fortunately, a mysterious, kind-hearted teacher appeared and filled the gap in her lonely heart. Gu Xun'er started to compare her teacher and Xiao Yan, feeling the former superior, though she still had some attachment to the latter.

Then, Gu Xun'er experienced a harsh truth in the Unfinished Samara of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. She faced a reality where the young man she knew didn't care about her.

He was only there for her connection and wealth(resource).

And finally, Gu Xun'er realized Xiao Yan wasn't as kind as he used to be.

...

"Xun'er, I..." Xiao Yan was stunned. He looked at the pale Gu Xun'er, seeing her mouth bleed from biting her lips.

Her reddening eyes ran with tears.

"Please, listen to me first."

"I-!"

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Baek Ain suddenly appeared and covered Gu Xun'er from this snotty protagonist.

"Stop right there." Baek Ain calmly said.

Xiao Yan frowned, "This is between me and Xun'er."

"Well, what a coincidence. Xun'er is my precious disciple, and you made her cry." Baek Ain lowered his eyes.

"What makes you think you deserve to make my disciple sad?" His voice dripped with coldness.

Xiao Yan shuddered as he felt his whole body reacting to Baek Ain's cold words. He suddenly summoned a shield and warily looked at Baek Ain.

Baek Ain chuckled, "A mere Half-Saint Artifact, yet you dare to use it to defend your fragile life."

"You're looking down on me too much."

BAM! Crack!

A flickering lightning appears out of nowhere.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, a white spear penetrated Xiao Yan's shield and reached his chest.

"Die, you imbecile..." Baek Ain could feel resistance from Xiao Yan's black robe. There shouldn't be any armor behind that robe, which makes Baek Ain connect the dots to the Protagonist Halo.

Unfortunately for Xiao Yan, Baek Ain has Protagonist Halo's Nullification.

[Protagonist Halo's Nullification was activated!]

Cough!

Xiao Yan watched a white spear stabbing his chest and destroying his beating heart. He coughed a mouthful of blood, breathing unevenly due to excessive horror and disbelief.

"H-How..." He gritted his teeth.

"I-If I have to die, then I will bring you along with me!" Out of nowhere, Xiao Yan's body emitted three-colored rays.

Yeah, this is definitely something only a protagonist could do. Anyone would have died at this point.

[Ding! Three Heavenly Flames detected]

'Oh?' Baek Ain was surprised.

"Xiao Yan, NOOOO!" Yao Chan and the Mysterious Female Ghost rushed toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan didn't care anymore as he grinned at Baek Ain. "Let's go to hell together."

"Pfft, too bad I don't want to. Go to hell yourself." Baek Ain raised his spear and yanked Xiao Yan toward his companions.

Yao Chen and the Mysterious Female Ghost wanted to stop the explosion, but it was too late. Xiao Yan really wanted to bring Baek Ain down with him.

BAM!

Xiao Yan crashed into Yao Chen and the Mysterious Female Ghost.

A three-colored lotus made of fire suddenly manifested and illuminated the surrounding area.

"Everyone, get down!" Baek Ain warned everyone, covering Gu Xun'er with his body.

Gu Xun'er's eyes widened, "T-Teacher..."

"It's okay." Baek Ain rubbed her head.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

A wide-ranged explosion appeared atop Pill Tower, shaking the whole building and the surrounding area. As expected from the dying protagonist, pulling random shit like this.

Xiao Yan should have died if he was a 'normal' person, but Baek Ain knew he wouldn't die this easily.

COUGH! COUGH!

Yao Chen and the Mysterious Female Ghost were in a bad condition. They are the closest to Xiao Yan, receiving more damage than others.

Yao Chen is barely holding up. He held Xiao Yan and quickly tried to save his soul despite having a burnt body.

The same goes for the Mysterious Female Ghost.

Even if the Mysterious Female Ghost is Dou Saint Expert, she would still get injured from that surprise explosion. Her hood was 'naturally' destroyed, making Luo Bingbing from afar squint her eyes.

Beneath the destroyed hood was the face of a pale-looking woman. She looks like a beautiful corpse with some dark cracks under her soulless green eyes.

'That woman is...' Luo Bingbing thought about something. She glanced at Baek Ain and sighed because she shouldn't be too worried, considering her husband's strength.

Meanwhile, Baek Ain thoughtfully planned his next step. He stared at Yao Chen and smirked inside.

Since Yao Chen was this healthy, Xiao Yan should have used the stolen Medicinal Pill Baek Ain refined back then. Xiao Yan didn't know Baek Ain put some 'special' things into the Medicinal Pill.

Of course, Xiao Yan was too desperate to notice microscopic matters.

"How is his condition?" The Mysterious Female Ghost asked Yao Chen.

Yao Chan grimaced, "Bad, very bad. His body is no different than waste now."

"I can only save his soul, which is also heavily injured."

The Mysterious Female Ghost becomes feral when hearing Yao Chen's answer. She abruptly twisted her neck and glared at Baek Ain with a hateful gaze, "I Will Kill You!"

Baek Ain pushed Gu Xun'er behind him and casually raised Roc's Spine. A lightning arc appeared and stretched across the air, rippling with thunderous might.

The Mysterious Female Ghost pounced on Baek Ain without care, using her ethereal body to defend against Baek Ain's attack. Too bad for her, Baek Ain's lightning wasn't ordinary lightning.

BOOM!

She was blown away and screamed in pain as if the blazing sun burned her soul.

Baek Ain walked to the Mysterious Female Ghost with a white spear in his left hand and murmured, "The Irregularity. It's time to finish one of my main quests."

"I will kill you right here, right now..." He released his overbearing killing intent.
