112: Chapter 112 The scales tip, Chu Feng's mentality explodes!

That tiny movement...

Caused Chu Feng's heart to sink abruptly.

That movement of you taking half a step back...

Are you serious! (Hahaha, start singing...)

"What could I possibly do to her?"

Qin Yu folded his arms across his chest, his tone indifferent.

"As for you."

He glanced at Chu Feng's filthy hands.

"Didn't This Divine Son say that your aura is detrimental to her recovery?"

"The Killing Intent and irritability on your body will disperse the Life Qi that has finally begun to condense within her."

"Do you want all of her treatment from the past few days to go to waste?"

Blatant moral kidnapping.

Though it was a bit cliché...

Against someone as single-minded as Chu Feng...

It worked best.

"I... I'm just worried about Xiao Wei!"

Chu Feng was left speechless by the rebuttal, his face flushing red.

"I haven't seen her for several days; I just want to talk to her!"

"Worried?"

Qin Yu let out a cold laugh and shook his head.

"That's not called being worried."

"It's called being selfish!"

"To satisfy your own pathetic desire to visit, you disregard your sister's life and death."

"Chu Feng, oh Chu Feng, you really are so stupid it's heartbreaking."

Qin Yu's voice wasn't loud, yet every word pierced the heart.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Chu Feng was enraged; he could handle being called stupid...

But he couldn't handle being told he didn't love his sister!

"Qin Yu! Don't think that just because you saved Xiao Wei, you can boss me around!"

"You keep her locked here in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion and won't let me see her—what exactly are your intentions?"

Boom!

The blood and Qi of the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body surged uncontrollably.

The flowers and plants in the garden were instantly flattened in all directions by this wave of Qi.

"Brother! What are you doing!"

Just a moment before Chu Feng was about to strike...

A crisp scolding caused him to freeze instantly on the spot.

It was Chu Youwei.

She stepped out from behind Qin Yu, her small face filled with disappointment and anger.

"Don't you see how much effort Brother Qin Yu has spent on my illness?"

"My improvement these past few days is all thanks to his hard work day and night!"

"And you? If you're not going to help, fine, but you come here shouting and screaming—are you trying to kill me?"

Chu Youwei's voice wasn't loud.

But to Chu Feng's ears...

It was no different from a divine thunderbolt from the nine heavens striking the crown of his head.

He stared blankly at Chu Youwei.

He looked at that small face that used to only show dependence and trust toward him.

At this moment, it was filled with reproach toward him.

And the one she was defending...

Was the man they had once regarded as a blood enemy!

"Xiao Wei, I... I didn't mean it like that."

Chu Feng panicked and tried to explain.

"Enough!"

Chu Youwei interrupted him, her tone firm.

"Brother, you've disappointed me too much."

"Stop making such a scene, alright?"

She turned toward Qin Yu, her face instantly becoming apologetic and gentle again.

"Brother Qin Yu, I'm sorry!

My brother is just too impulsive; please don't lower yourself to his level."

With these words, the scales had completely tipped.

What a 'Brother Qin Yu'.

What a 'him'!

The distinction between who was close and who was distant was clear at a glance.

Chu Feng stood there as if struck by lightning.

He felt his world collapsing bit by bit.

The girl who had followed behind him since childhood...

Calling him 'Brother' in her soft, sweet voice...

It seemed...

She had been stolen away.

He watched his sister gaze at Qin Yu with a face full of heartache.

He watched the two of them standing side by side.

One handsome and extraordinary.

One charming and lovely.

They were actually so...

Harmonious!

Instead, it made him look like a redundant, ugly intruder.

"It's no matter."

Qin Yu gave Chu Youwei a gentle smile, displaying a magnanimous demeanor.

Afterward.

He turned his head to look at the soul-shattered Chu Feng, his eyes containing nothing but pity.

"Let's go."

He naturally took Chu Youwei's hand and walked toward the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered; you shouldn't be out in the wind for too long."

"I... okay."

As Qin Yu held her hand, Chu Youwei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't resist in the slightest.

She didn't even dare to look back.

She didn't dare to look at her brother's despairing face.

Under the setting sun.

The silhouettes of the two drifted further and further away.

Leaving Chu Feng alone, standing solitary in the ruined garden.

The wind blew, swirling a few fallen leaves.

It appeared incredibly bleak.

"Why..."

Chu Feng collapsed to his knees, his hands digging painfully into the soil.

"Why did it turn out like this..."

For the first time, the conviction in his heart wavered.

Revenge.

This obsession that had supported him for so many years...

In the face of his own sister's betrayal...

Seemed so ridiculous and hollow.

On the distant pavilion.

Qin Yu held the still somewhat bewildered young girl in his arms, the corner of his mouth curling upward.

The fun of boiling a frog in lukewarm water...

Lay in watching that frog, after giving up its struggle...

Be cooked step by step.

Chu Feng was the first one.

Chu Youwei was the second one.

Neither could escape.

...

Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

Qin Yu held Chu Youwei's hand and escorted her back to that warm Cloud-Silk Soft Couch.

The young girl's cheeks still bore a trace of a blush.

Half was from shyness, and half was from the unease of having just scolded her brother.

"Brother Qin Yu, was I... too mean to him?"

Chu Youwei asked in a small voice, her eyes darting away.

"Mean?"

Qin Yu smiled.

He reached out and used the pad of his finger to gently wipe away a small tear stain from the corner of the girl's eye.

The movement was gentle, yet carried an undeniable intimacy.

"That's not called being mean; it's called distinguishing right from wrong."

He sat back down on the edge of the bed, looking into Chu Youwei's eyes, his voice becoming earnest and well-meaning.

"Youwei, your brother possesses the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body; his Heart-Nature is naturally prone to being swayed by power, becoming paranoid and easily angered."

"What happened today is a wake-up call."

"If he is allowed to continue like this, sooner or later he will stray onto the wrong path and cause a great disaster."

Qin Yu sighed, looking as if he were worrying himself sick over Chu Feng.

"I scolded him because I hope he can wake up."

"And as his only relative, you should pull him back when he is confused, rather than indulge him."

These words were spoken with logic and evidence, also carrying the concern of an elder.

Chu Youwei nodded repeatedly as she listened, and the last bit of guilt toward her brother in her heart vanished into thin air.

That's right.

Brother Qin Yu is right.

Brother is too impulsive.

I must help him fix these bad habits!

"Alright, it's getting late."

"Tonight is the critical period of the treatment; the cold poison will strike back even more fiercely."

Qin Yu stood up and began preparing the golden needles.

"But it is also the final night."

Hearing this, Chu Youwei's heart inexplicably tightened.

The final night?

Does that mean...

That in the future, Brother Qin Yu...

Will no longer accompany me like this?

For some reason...

The thought of this made her heart feel empty.

...

The night grew deeper.

Inside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, the candlelight flickered.

Qin Yu concentrated intently on applying the golden needles.

Compared to previous days, today's treatment process was exceptionally long.

On the bed, Chu Youwei could no longer feel the slightest pain.

There was only a comfort like being a frog boiled in lukewarm water, making her drowsy.

The seed of the Love Poison had already taken root in the deepest part of her heart.
