Systemless Villain

Chapter 127 Shattered Hearts

"I'm sorry, Qin Chen," Li Yue'er said.

"What are you doing, Li Yue'er? Long Tian kidnapped you. How can you return to him?" Qin Chen asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Long Tian's grin deepened as he wrapped his arm around Li Yue'er, pulling her closer to him.

"You see, Qin Chen, Li Yue'er has made her choice. She chose me over you," he said, his tone dripping with mockery.

Qin Chen's eyes widened with anger. "That's impossible! What trick did you use on her? You must have hypnotized her!" he shouted in rage.

Li Yue'er quickly responded, "No, Qin Chen, I wasn't hypnotized by Long Tian. I... I feel safe with him, and I hope you can move on from me. There are plenty of other girls who are better suited for you."

Hearing this, Qin Chen became even more incredulous, utterly shocked. His body went limp, his heart feeling as if it were pierced by hundreds of swords.

"How, how could that be possible? I saw that day when you were kidnapped by Long Tian, and I came to rescue you. Now, I'm doing the same, but you... How can you feel safe with the person who kidnapped you?" he asked in desperation.

Li Yue'er didn't answer; instead, she hugged Long Tian.

Qin Chen felt an immense heartache seeing this. Li Yue'er, his childhood friend, the one he had loved since childhood, was hugging another man.

In the following moment, his eyes widened in disbelief as Long Tian kissed Li Yue'er right before him.

The pain in his heart intensified, the shattered fragments of his emotions cutting through him like sharp shards of glass.

Fueled by heartbreak, an intense fury coursed through Qin Chen, igniting a blazing anger that radiated from his very being. "I will kill you, Long Tian!!!" he screamed, charging at Long Tian with unbridled rage.

Li Yue'er swiftly broke free from Long Tian's kiss, raising her hand in a swift motion to create a barrier of darkness, thwarting Qin Chen's assault.

Qin Chen tried to attack, but the darkness was too dense and strong.

"Please, Qin Chen, go. I don't want to hurt you; I am stronger than I used to be," she said, her voice carrying a mix of firmness and melancholy.

"Why... Why are you protecting him, Li Yue'er? Didn't you yourself say that we would get married when we were little?" Qin Chen said, his voice cracking with emotional turmoil.

"That's... It was just childish words, Qin Chen, from a time when we didn't understand anything. Please listen to me and leave from here," Li Yue'er said, her words weighted with the burden of the past and the weight of her present choices.

"I won't leave unless it's with you, Li Yue'er. Please, Long Tian is not a good man, why would you choose him?" Qin Chen said, his voice desperate, filled with heartache.

"Don't force my hand, Qin Chen!" Li Yue'er shouted, manipulating the darkness and enveloping his body, rendering him immobile.

Qin Chen felt a surge of heartache, his face displaying a mix of deep frustration, sadness, and anger.

"I... I can't believe this, Li Yue'er. How could you betray me?" he questioned, his voice filled with disbelief.

"We were never in any relationship, Qin Chen," Li Yue'er stated matter-of-factly.

"No! None of this can be true!" Qin Chen bellowed, his golden aura breaking free from the darkness that bound him.

In an instant, Long Tian moved swiftly, materializing in front of Qin Chen and delivering a thunderous strike.

Bang!

The punch, charged with lightning, sent Qin Chen flying, crashing into a tree that shattered upon impact.

Qin Chen lay on the ground, lightning marks seared across his body. Long Tian, with his lightning-fast speed, swiftly approached, gripping a sword.

"I will put an end to this," he declared coldly.

His sword lunged toward Qin Chen. But just before it could strike, Qin Chen abruptly vanished, causing the sword to hit the ground instead.

Long Tian stepped back, frustration evident as his veins pulsed visibly on his face.

The reason Qin Chen had disappeared was the same as how he had almost killed him on the first day of his reincarnation. It was all because of a teleportation disc that allowed Qin Chen to move to a different location when faced with death.

"That thing! I must obtain it!" Long Tian vowed.

He turned around, only to be suddenly embraced by Li Yue'er.

His frustration gradually dissipated as he gently stroked Li Yue'er's back.

"Please, don't make me a bargaining chip again, Long Tian. I don't want to leave you," Li Yue'er pleaded, her voice tinged with sadness and fear.

Long Tian smiled softly, "Forgive me, Li Yue'er. I promise I won't do it again," he reassured.

Li Yue'er didn't reply; instead, she hugged Long Tian even tighter in response.

--------------

As the night progressed, inside the villa, in the tranquil room, Long Tian gently pressed Li Yue'er against the wall.

They both kissed passionately. Li Yue'er had no regrets; in fact, she hugged Long Tian's eagerly.

They didn't wait any longer and started undressing each other.

Li Yue'er's beautiful body was clearly exposed, and Long Tian pressed her onto the bed, taking immediate action.

Passionate moans filled the room, the cold air outside adding to the warmth of their bodies meeting each other.

----------------

Meanwhile, inside the dark cave...

Bang!

A large rock shattered under the impact of a blow.

"Bastaaaard!" Qin Chen roared, his endless anger echoing through his cries.

His hands clenched the cave walls, causing them to crumble.

His breaths were erratic, displaying his frustration and rage on this night.

Li Yue'er, the woman he loved the most, fell into Long Tian's arms, the man he despised the most.

His heart was completely torn apart, a pain even worse than torture.

"Long Tian! Long Tian! Long Tian!" He shouted, walking madly while uttering that name.

At this moment, Shen Yulan emerged from the jade, crossing her arms as she observed the tantrum Qin Chen was having.

"This is what you get, Qin Chen. I tried to warn you that no good would come from dealing with Long Tian," she said.

Qin Chen lay on the ground, his expression vacant even as he heard Shen Yulan's words. Now, it was all too late; not only had he lost the Heartblade, but he had also lost Li Yue'er, the woman he loved.

If only he could turn back time, he would never have gone to that villa.
