The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness - Chapter 222
147, The Weeping Serpent (End) Thanks to avatarroy for the Emperor of Flames
The ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread, and Anna suddenly realized that she was indeed lying in Mu En’s arms, even able to feel each other’s breaths.
Unconsciously, Anna squirmed a bit, but found that Mu En had no intention of letting go, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
“Junior.”
“Mm?”
“Did you save me?”
Confused memories flowed into Anna’s mind, and she finally gained some understanding of her current situation.
The moon and the cultists had disappeared, leaving only herself and her junior in this area.
Could it be that her junior chased away the moon? When did he become so capable?
“I can only say… I helped a little bit.”
Mu En scratched his cheek, speaking a bit shyly:
“With my strength, I can only deal with the cultists and act as bait; I’m still far from being able to confront the evil god directly.”
“Bait?” Anna keenly caught onto this word, frowning as she said:
“That sounds dangerous.”
“Well, it’s nothing much, just a little trick, nothing too dangerous.”
Mu En smiled, “As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.”
Anna’s cheeks flushed even more.
In the space shrouded by dark mist, it was exceptionally quiet; Anna could even hear Mu En’s heartbeat and breathing.
Hmm, a bit hurried.
Is he nervous too?
Anna’s heart tightened.
But at a time like this, in such an atmosphere, it should be the moment for that kind of thing.
Anna quietly turned her head to look around, discovering that under the cover of the dark moon mist, this area had become an absolutely sealed space.
No one would come to disturb them.
Anna couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Now there wasn’t even a reason to take a breather.
But… it didn’t actually feel unpleasant.
Anna’s breathing suddenly grew heavy, slowly… she lifted her head.
Mu En’s body also trembled slightly, instinctively lowering his head.
Clearly, it wasn’t their first time doing this, but perhaps because of the atmosphere, or for other reasons, both of them were still a bit nervous.
They drew closer and closer.
Anna raised her eyes, carefully staring into Mu En’s eyes.
Those淡蓝的眼眸, like lakes, always brought her tranquility.
Even now, gazing into those mirror-like eyes, looking at the reflection of herself in the mirror, she felt that cold heart, frozen by the silent moon, begin to…
Hmm?
The reflection of… herself?
At this moment, Anna’s breath suddenly caught.
As if she had seen something terrifying, her expression instantly turned to one of panic.
And Mu En was still getting closer.
“Don’t come over!”
Anna suddenly pushed Mu En away, springing up from his embrace with an incredible force.
“Senior?”
Mu En, caught off guard by the push, rubbed his chest in pain, looking over with a confused expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“You… I…”
Anna stared at Mu En, a hint of bewilderment flashing across her face.
She slowly lowered her head, looking at… herself, something she had not noticed since waking up, as she had been drawn to the junior.
She tore open her long sleeve, revealing her arm.
On her arm, dark scales covered every inch of skin, opening and closing with her breath, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
As her gaze continued downward, crossing over the towering cliffs and vast plains, beneath that purple dress was not the kind of black silk thighs that would make any man dry-mouthed, but… a writhing snake tail.
A monstrous… snake tail.
“I…”
Anna’s delicate body began to tremble involuntarily. With a wave of her hand, a small spell formed in her palm, drawing moisture from the air to construct a smooth mirror surface.
She took several deep breaths, horror and panic swirling in her mind, and after a long time finally gathered the courage to look up at the mirror.
In the mirror, she was no longer that stunningly beautiful girl, vibrant as a peach blossom; the dark scales extended from her neck all the way up, covering half of her cheek.
And those eyes, once described by Mu En as gems soaked in clear water, were now cold snake eyes.
Still unchanged in the slightest.
Utterly grotesque.
“So that’s it…”
Looking at herself in the mirror, Anna couldn’t help but feel a wave of disorientation.
She remembered something, crushing the mirror with a grip, bending down, whispering in pain.
“That wasn’t a dream…”
“That wasn’t a dream.”
“That wasn’t a dream!”
“I… am still a monster…”
“A monster that will still hurt people!”
“I…”
“Senior!”
Mu En suddenly shouted, interrupting Anna’s murmurs.
He looked at the pained girl before him with a heart full of sorrow, extending his hand and softly saying:
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Senior. The moon is almost dead; it won’t exert any more mental influence on you.
So, it’s all right now. You are no longer a monster.”
“Mental influence… So, the physical aspect, is it temporarily unchangeable?”
Anna looked at her hands and forced a bitter smile.
But then, disregarding Mu En’s outstretched hand, she suddenly stepped back and pulled out a wide black robe, enveloping her body within it.
“Junior, no… don’t look.”
“I don’t mind.”
“No, please, don’t look at me…”
Anna shook her head, hiding her face in the large hood.
“Only you… only you, Junior… I don’t want you to see me like this.”
“I’ve said it, I don’t mind…”
“Enough! Stop lying to me!”
Anna, rarely losing control of her emotions, shouted:
“Junior, I know you care about my feelings, but please stop deceiving me. I understand better than anyone else; who in this world wouldn’t care about me being a monster?”
That dream.
That dream was real.
Or rather, it was the reality of the future.
She would be a monster, despised by all, feared by all.
Even if she did nothing wrong, she would never truly deserve to bask in the light.
As for why Mu En was absent in the dream…
Perhaps it was her subconscious not wanting this junior, who had unknowingly occupied a significant part of her heart, to see her in this ugly, grotesque form.
She wished for her image in his memory to forever be that of the enchanting senior.
“So, Junior… don’t look at me, and… forget me.”
Anna concealed herself in the robe that hid everything and quickly turned to leave.
She needed to escape from here.
She needed to escape from the junior, escape from everyone.
Just like in a dream, a person, alone, heads to a place where no one can find them.
Like this.
Then no one would feel afraid.
Then no one would feel troubled.
Then no one would feel pain.
Everyone could be happy.
Like this.
That would be good.
“Senior!!”
But at that moment, a roar interrupted her lonely thoughts.
A sudden wind rose behind her.
Anna instinctively turned around.
Mu En’s face was twisted with rage as he flew towards her.
His speed was fast.
Anna raised her hand, powerful magic gathering at her fingertips.
“Junior, don’t come over!”
But Mu En wouldn’t listen, still, step by step, firmly walking towards her.
The magic at her fingertips transformed into intense light and heat, a small explosive spell rapidly taking shape, aimed at Mu En’s forehead. If he took one more step forward, his entire head would be blown off.
But Mu En showed no hesitation, continuing forward.
“Why…”
Anna trembled, dispersing the magic.
“Junior, why…”
“This question should be mine to ask, right!”
Mu En grabbed Anna’s wrist and forcefully threw her to the ground.
On the smooth bluestone slab, Mu En looked down into Anna’s eyes, angrily saying:
“Senior, why are you always like this!
It was the same before, the same in the dream, and now too…
Why do you always think of running away first?”
“I’m not running away, I just… don’t want to hurt…”
“Who have you hurt?!”
Mu En roared,
“Tyke Rod? That count’s son? Senior, are you still trying to deceive me at a time like this? I’ve already looked into it thoroughly; you haven’t harmed anyone at all!
Besides, how could someone like you, who can’t bear to ignore a stray cat on the street, possibly hurt others?
The Silent Moon is on the verge of collapse; you won’t be influenced by it. Who else could you possibly harm? Me?!
If you want to hurt someone, then do it now! My magic is almost depleted; I’m no match for you!”
“But I…”
“Foolish woman, shut up and listen to me!”
Mu En interrupted Anna, his eyes blazing like fire:
“Senior, I’m really angry, truly angry!
Whether in that illusory dream or in reality, every time you become like this, you always think of running away first, always thinking of not hurting others.
You are always so gentle, and I love your gentleness.
But to be honest, I hate it, I really hate it!
You hurt yourself for the sake of that gentleness!
Senior, can’t you think a little about yourself?
Can’t you be a bit greedier?
From noble mtl dot com
What good is it to only play pranks? Have a worse attitude towards this damned world, towards this damned fate!
You have the right to be greedier! You have the right to pursue everything you desire!”
“But in this state…”
“What’s wrong with this state? You are not a monster at all!”
“No, I am. I am a monster, and you know it, junior.”
Anna looked at Mu En with a sorrowful gaze, softly saying:
“In this world, no one will accept a snake person covered in scales with a serpent’s tail. No one.”
“…So what if that’s the case? I won’t care about that. I won’t care about your appearance, as long as you are still you, Senior. I am the duke’s son; I can help you!”
“You’re lying.”
Anna murmured.
“I’ve said it before, no one will not care about a monster.”
“…”
Mu En suddenly fell silent, no longer shouting.
But Anna noticed his eyes gradually turning red, filled with bloodshot veins.
Like a… beast.
“Is that so? It seems convincing you, this stubborn foolish woman, is impossible.
Then I will prove it with actions.”
“Actions?”
Anna looked bewildered.
Mu En suddenly released her hands, then… began to tear at her black robe.
“What?”
Anna froze for a moment, instinctively wanting to stop Mu En’s actions.
But at this moment, Mu En was like a beast, his movements rough and terrifying, his expression fierce and frightening.
“Aren’t you the monster?”
“Don’t you always want to hide?”
“I want to see just how terrifying you are!”
Mu En completely disregarded Anna’s struggles, frantically tearing at her black robe, one rip after another.
The movements were brutal, like a fierce assault on a sturdy, tightly shut city gate.
Accompanied by the continuous sound of fabric tearing, soon, the robe that concealed her form, even that purple dress that once enchanted Mu En, was all turned into swirling fragments.
Anna was left completely exposed, laid bare before Mu En’s eyes.
In Mu En’s gaze, Anna’s body was covered in tiny black scales, even including those two large round ones. Her waist was still slender, but below her waist was a long, thick serpent tail, twisting violently with Anna’s struggles.
As Mu En tore at the clothing, his fingers inadvertently brushed against her delicate body, but what he felt was not the softness one would expect from a girl, but a cold hardness.
Just as Anna had said, at this moment, she possessed very little that was human, resembling more a terrifying monster.
Yet Mu En’s gaze swept over her carefully, disdainfully saying:
“This? I thought you were supposed to be terrifying.”
“Junior!”
Anna bit her silver teeth, somewhat angrily protecting her important parts, and shouted:
“What exactly do you want to do?”
She was somewhat angry.
Somewhat afraid.
And even more confused.
But perhaps she didn’t even notice herself, that despite being subjected to such an excessive act by Mu En, the emotion in her heart was anything but disgust.
“What do I want to do? Didn’t I just say it? I want to prove something to you.”
Mu En smiled, reaching out again to grasp Anna’s wrist.
He forcefully pinned her hands down onto her twisting serpent tail, aggressively prying open her last line of defense.
“Even if everyone in this world thinks you are a monster.”
“Even if everyone in this world hates you.”
“Even if everyone in this world wants to kill you.”
“But, Senior.”
Mu En lowered his head, seriously gazing into those eyes that were not beautiful at this moment, filled with a girl’s stubbornness and determination, and said firmly:
“I will never think you are a monster, I will never hate you, I will always be willing to give everything to protect you!”
As he finished speaking, in the moment Anna was stunned, the boy kissed her forcefully.
Their lips met.
Mu En pried open Anna’s silver teeth, capturing that delicate little snake.
A reckless entanglement, a reckless .
Even when his tongue was cut by the fangs in the girl’s unfamiliar mouth, the boy greedily exchanged saliva, tasting the metallic flavor of blood.
At this moment, Mu En held Anna tightly, as if he wanted to permanently blend her into his own body.
……
A long time later.
Their lips parted.
A thin, lascivious thread connected them.
Anna’s cheeks flushed slightly, still a bit dazed.
“Why?” she asked.
“Because… didn’t you once say, Senior?”
Mu En panted heavily, answering earnestly:
“I am a complete pervert.”
“Pervert?”
Anna was taken aback; amidst her chaotic thoughts, she remembered how she had teased her junior like this.
But what did that have to do with now?
“Of course it does.”
As if seeing through Anna’s thoughts, Mu En answered word by word:
“Because I am a pervert.
So.
Even if you really turned into a snake, Senior. I still…”
—
“Let me show you my excitement!”
Anna’s delicate body trembled.
As if struck by a bolt of lightning.
She stood there, stunned.
And in Anna’s wide, astonished eyes, Mu En kissed her again.
With even more intensity.
In the kiss.
Anna stared blankly at the face of the boy before her.
So fervent, so sincere, so… unbreakable.
Like a meteor falling from the sky, it recklessly crashed into her heart, which she thought was impenetrably strong.
In an instant, the defenses she had maintained for twenty years… crumbled to dust.
Thus, after layers of self-imposed isolation, her fragile heart finally revealed itself, completely enveloped by this boy who had descended from the heavens, wrapped in endless light and warmth.
So warm.
Warm enough to bring tears.
“Junior.”
Suddenly, Mu En felt an irresistible force surge from Anna’s hands.
Before he could react, he felt the world spin, and the next moment, he was pinned beneath the girl.
No way.
Even at a time like this, he couldn’t escape being on the bottom?
Mu En twitched his lips, then raised his eyes to look at the girl.
Anna’s chest rose and fell, breathing heavily, her expression a mix of confusion and desire as she gazed at Mu En, whispering:
“Junior, I won’t care what happens next.”
“…Bring it on.”
Mu En smiled helplessly, giving up the struggle.
“Please don’t pity this delicate flower.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a thick, long serpent tail swung, wrapping around Mu En tightly.
Anna embraced Mu En’s solid arm, slowly leaning down.
At some point, the clothes on Mu En transformed into scattered butterflies.
The two kissed, caressed, and intertwined.
Then, at the moment when the thunder struck and ignited the earth, the girl’s body trembled, letting out a moan that was both pained and beautiful.
—
And at this moment.
In the satisfaction that fills both heart and body, in the intoxication wrapped in endless warmth and love, the corners of the girl’s eyes finally shed crystalline tears.
“Senior…”
At this moment, Anna heard Mu En’s exclamation.
With a shy and puzzled blink, Anna opened her eyes and slowly lowered her head, following Mu En’s astonished gaze.
What she saw was not her own ugly body, but a smooth, fair, and flawless young figure, like mutton fat jade, evoking imagination and perfection.
Even that long, thick snake tail had somehow transformed into a long leg that tightly wrapped around Mu En’s waist.
This is…
The snake transformation disease, cured?
“I see… so this is what the so-called tears of true love are like?”
Looking at the tear dropping from Anna’s eye, Mu En understood everything in that instant.
The so-called tears of true love.
Not his tears, nor anyone else’s tears.
But the tears of the senior herself, filled with warmth and affection.
So simple, so… natural.
But this was the truth deliberately concealed by the Silent Moon; anyone who intended to cure the snake transformation disease would, under its deliberate guidance, fall into a dead end, ultimately turning into complete despair, to amuse the malevolent deity.
Yet perhaps the Silent Moon never expected that someone like Mu En, this “strong man,” would appear in this world.
At this point, he actually didn’t care whether the snake transformation disease could be cured; as long as the Silent Moon died, the senior would still be the senior, and that… would be enough.
As for the snake transformation… just as he said earlier…
Wasn’t it still exciting? What was there to worry about?
By accident.
But in the end, it was inadvertently overcoming the so-called… “fate.”
…
“Junior.”
“Mm?”
“Can I be a little greedier?”
After understanding everything, in the even more blush-inducing entanglement, the girl’s face flushed, her forehead resting against Mu En’s chest, softly asking.
“Of course.”
Mu En gently caressed her smooth figure and smiled:
“I will give everything for my dear senior at any time.”
“Then…”
Anna brushed aside her disheveled hair, casually wrapping her arms around Mu En’s neck, her voice soft and sweet:
“Love me.”
“Harder…”
“Mm~ I want more…”
