I became a fool who is married to a villain: chapter 15

Chapter 15 Ye Yuehui didn't respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his eyes and glanced at Hua Zuiyue. Hua Zuiyue: "???" Does he want her to join them? Surely he doesn’t have such peculiar tastes, right? Or perhaps he wants her opinion? Hua Zuiyue looked up slightly, tugged on Ye Yuehui's sleeve, blinked her big, clear eyes, and said generously, "Since my husband knows this beautiful fairy, you can talk to her. I will wait here for your return, husband." Ye Yuehui: "..." Ye Yuehui's eyes narrowed. Is this little fool trying to take charge of his affairs? He coldly shook off Hua Zuiyue's hand. Hua Zuiyue: "..." If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you so mad? Hua Zuiyue was speechless and pursed her lips. Feng Ji's eyes darkened. "Is it inconvenient for Your Highness? If it is, forget it." Feng Ji forced a smile, "It's not that important." "It's convenient, there's no inconvenience." Ye Yuehui's expression softened, and there was a light in his eyes, unlike his usual cold glare. The dog man must be secretly happy inside. Hua Zuiyue observed Ye Yuehui closely, noting his change in demeanor. This man acts completely differently around his sweetheart.  Tsk tsk, what a double standard! Ye Yuehui turned to Hua Zuiyue, his gentle expression unchanged. "Madam, do you know the way back?" What? Is he worried she'll get in the way and wants to send her back alone? Hua Zuiyue pondered this, wondering if Ye Yuehui would strangle her if she said she didn't. "Do you?" Ye Yuehui's tone grew slightly impatient. Hua Zuiyue: "!!!" Hua Zuiyue's body trembled, and she quickly responded, "Yes, I know it. Husband, please go and do your work. I memorized the route when we came, and I know how to get back." "That's good." Ye Yuehui squinted and patted her head with satisfaction. "You go back first, I'll be back later." Hua Zuiyue nodded obediently, "Okay." Their brief exchange made Feng Ji, standing nearby, feel uncomfortable. Ye Yuehui, the young man who used to cling to her, who always gave her his treasures he got as gifts, and who always put her first—how could he be so gentle to this fool in front of her? He used to hug her arm happily and call her Feng without hesitation. When gods bullied her, he would stand up and fight them off. "Feng Ji?" Ye Yuehui's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Feng Ji smiled bitterly. After all, Ye Yuehui was now married to a notorious fool from the demon clan. Without his divine core, Ye Yuehui was no longer the envied son of heaven. He no longer called her Feng with familiarity, but addressed her as Feng Ji in a distant manner. Feng Ji looked at Ye Yuehui tenderly, then glanced away casually. "Let's go," she said calmly. Ye Yuehui's eyes darkened. "Yeah." Hua Zuiyue who was ignored the entire time: "..." What? Not even a goodbye before leaving? Discriminating against people with disabilities is wrong! Hua Zuiyue shook her head and sighed, watching Ye Yuehui and Feng Ji leave. She then slowly walked towards Yuehui Palace. Soon, the voice of the Huahua System echoed in her mind. [Ding! The villain's mission requires the host to go to the Ye Tai platform and push the heroine into the water to ensure the plot develops smoothly. (Plot description: Feng Ji invites Ye Yuehui to reminisce about the past, and the host, on a whim, pushes the heroine into the water.)] Hua Zuiyue: "!!!" Is there something wrong with this system? On a whim? What whim! "Huahua, tell me honestly, is the heroine provoking you somehow? These missions seem to target her specifically." [Host, you need to understand your identity. Your identity is that of a female villain. Isn’t it your inherent responsibility and obligation to fight with the heroine?] Hua Zuiyue: "..." No, no, no, the real female villain is gone. I’m a fake! Hua Zuiyue felt a bit timid. "She is heaven's daughter. You always encourage me to cause trouble, but you don't give me any safety guarantees. I'm afraid I'll be strangled to death by the perverted male lead." [Don't be afraid, move forward bravely. We are your solid backing...Bah...the system signal is weak, the system will go offline now.] Hua Zuiyue: "..." [By the way, system tasks must be completed, or you will face the electric thunder whip god’s punishment package!] Hua Zuiyue: "..." No, are you using coercion now? Hua Zuiyue turned around, cursing under her breath, and walked towards Yue Tai platform with a determined stride. As Ye Yuehui and Feng Ji walked to Ye Tai platform, silence hung between them.  In the past, Ye Yuehui would always try to cheer Feng Ji up, even if she didn't speak much. But something had changed, and neither of them knew when it had started. With her eyes lowered, Feng Ji walked steadily until they reached the Ye tai platform, where she finally paused. "Yuehui," she said, turning to meet Ye Yuehui's gaze. He was just as striking as ever. His eyebrows were like willows, and his body stood tall like a jade tree. His black eyes sparkled like crescent moons when he smiled and like cold stars when he was serious. He could still make hearts flutter with a single glance. "Yuehui, do you still blame me?" Feng Ji asked. She had deceived him once, leading him into a formation that forced him to extract his divine core. She knew she was at fault. "I don't blame you," Ye Yuehui replied, his expression unreadable. "No, you must blame me," Feng Ji insisted, a bitter smile crossing her face. "We grew up together. I know you too well. If you didn’t blame me, why are you so distant?" She raised her hand to hug him like before, but hesitated and let it fall. Ye Yuehui smiled softly. "Do you want to hug me, Feng?" The sound of his gentle voice using her name made her heart tremble. "Can I?" she asked, her voice shaking. Ye Yuehui seemed different to her now, yet familiar. "Of course," he said gently. "If Feng wants to hug me, she can. Didn’t you always hug me when we were kids?" Without another word, Feng Ji wrapped her arms around Ye Yuehui, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart. For a moment, the boy in her arms seemed like the same one from her childhood. But how could it be? A young man who had endured such injustice, who had turned into someone vengeful, couldn’t simply revert back to his former self. This had to be a façade. Yet, Feng Ji felt a glimmer of hope. She released Ye Yuehui, her heart light with relief. "Yuehui, I'm just glad you don't blame me." Ye Yuehui's lips curled into a smile. "As long as Ah Feng is happy, that’s all that matters." Feng Ji was indeed happy. She led him to the edge of Ye Tai Pond, pointing to a pool where flowers were in full bloom. "Yuehui, look. We planted these flowers together when we were children. I never thought they would bloom so beautifully. I remember when there was nothing here but water."   She deceived Ye Yuehui back then, and knowing that she was wrong, she went into seclusion to practice.   She thought she would be in seclusion for a long time, until news came from the Heavenly Clan that the second prince was getting married… Ye Yuehui looked at her expression, and a smile slowly curled at the corner of his lips. His eyes burned with intensity. "Ah Feng treats me so well. Do you like me?" His direct question caught Feng Ji off guard, and she blushed at his handsome, flawless face. "Why do you ask that, Yuehui?" Ye Yuehui's expression darkened. "Ah Feng isn't affectionate towards me. It seems I was rude and presumptuous." His face returned to its usual calm as he stepped back a few steps. "In that case, Fairy Feng Ji, please keep your distance from me. We're older now, and I'm also married. Things aren't the same as they used to be." Feng Ji was stunned. "Yuehui, you..." Ye Yuehui smiled warmly. "Fairy Feng Ji, please address me as Your Highness." Feng Ji was speechless, her mouth opening and closing without knowing what to say. His attitude had completely blindsided her. After a long pause, she found her voice. "Yuehui, do you still blame me?" Ye Yuehui's expression remained unchanged, his tone calm. "I've never blamed you for anything." Feng Ji smiled bitterly. "You're right. It's my fault." Tears began to fall as she remembered the days spent with Ye Yuehui. "Yuehui, it's not that I don't have feelings for you. It's just that... I tricked you into joining the battle and made you lose your Divine core. Damn it, what right do I have?" Her tears made her look all the more heartbreaking. Hidden in the shadows, Hua Zuiyue watched, not daring to get closer. As a demon god, she could easily observe the Ye Tai platform. Hua Zuiyue wondered if that pervert would strangle her if he discovered her spying. She rubbed her ears, keenly observing the scene, ready to push the heroine into the water at the right moment. Alas, being the villain's female partner was frustrating. On the other side, Ye Yuehui watched Feng Ji cry, a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He reached out and gently wiped away her tears, his tone soft and beguiling. "Since you have feelings for me, how about I marry you?" What? Hua Zuiyue's ears perked up. Did that dog of a man just propose to the heroine? This was outrageous! He had just married her and was already planning to expand his harem? Hua Zuiyue's eyes widened, her anger surging. What a scumbag.   (End of chapter)
