I became a fool who is married to a villain: chapter 16

Chapter 16 On the other hand, Feng Ji was also taken aback by Ye Yuehui's words. "Yuehui, what did you say?" Feng Ji thought she must have misheard. Ye Yuehui smiled slightly, exuding an unparalleled magnificence. "Since you have feelings for me, how about I marry you?" Feng Ji: "..." Feng Ji looked at him with a complicated expression before finally replying with determination, "I'm sorry." "Don't you have feelings for me? Wouldn't it be good if I married you?" "No." Feng Ji shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Yuehui, you're already married and there's no possibility for us anymore." Hearing this, Yuehui responded nonchalantly, "It's just a marriage. If Feng doesn't like it, I'll go to the Sansheng Stone and erase this marriage. All it will cost me is ten thousand years of cultivation." Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she almost agreed. Fortunately, she still had some sense left. She shook her head and said calmly, "Yuehui, you know I'm the only direct female fairy of the Phoenix clan, and my marriage was destined long ago. "The queens of the heavenly clan are all direct descendants of the Phoenix clan. I'm destined to marry the future Emperor of Heaven, who is now Crown Prince Ye Yueyao." If she gave up marrying the crown prince, she would lose her noble status as a direct descendant of the Phoenix clan. As a direct descendant of the Phoenix Clan, she could only marry the most noble god in the world. "So, Ah Feng is unwilling to marry me?" Ye Yuehui lowered his eyes slightly, making it difficult to see his emotions. "I..." Feng Ji looked confused. She had a hunch that if she expressed her unwillingness today, her relationship with Ye Yuehui would be irreparably damaged. Feng Ji took a deep breath, tears streaming down her face. "Ah Hui, you know that's not what I meant." Ye Yuehui didn't intend to let her go. He took a step closer, his voice gentle yet intimidating. "Then what does Ah Feng mean?" "Yue... Yuehui?" Feng Ji stared at Ye Yuehui as he approached, fear gradually filling her eyes. She found him increasingly terrifying. Ye Yuehui suddenly stopped and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Since Fairy Fengji is afraid of me, don't provoke me again in the future." Ye Yuehui leaned in close to Feng Ji and whispered in her ear, "You can't afford to provoke me." Hua Zuiyue, hiding in the shadows, couldn't hear what Ye Yuehui said, but she saw Feng Ji take two steps back, her face pale and ashen. Hua Zuiyue: "???" What kind of terrifying words did her mad husband say to scare the female protagonist like this? [Host, stop watching and take action. If you don't do something soon, it will be too late.] The system's sudden appearance startled Hua Zuiyue. "Can you give me a warning next time you speak? Do you know how frightening that is?" Hua Zuiyue exaggeratedly patted her chest to calm her frightened heart. [Beep... beep... The system signal is weak, so the system will go offline temporarily.] Hua Zuiyue: "..." Hua Zuiyue grumbled a bit, then rolled up her sleeves and got ready to take action. Over there, Ye Yuehui had already stepped away some distance, his gentle and warm demeanor returning to his face. "Since Fairy Fengji has nothing more to discuss, I will return to Yuehui palace first," Ye Yuehui said, turning to leave. Feng Ji was stunned and felt a wave of panic. Ignoring Ye Yuehui's earlier coldness, she called out, "Yuehui, wait!" She didn't want to lose Ye Yuehui. She had mustered the courage to see him today, hoping to win him back. Whether he spoke harshly or made sarcastic remarks, she felt she deserved it. After all, it was her deception that caused him to lose his divine core. Determined, Feng Ji caught up to him. "Yuehui, do we really have to be so distant? I know you hate me for what happened. I just ask that you don't ignore me. Can we return to how things were?" Ye Yuehui paused but remained unmoved. Hua Zuiyue, watching from the shadows, sighed in frustration. She thought,  Brother, can't you show a little more anger? This heroine clearly seems like a manipulative and self-serving person. She doesn’t want to marry him but expects him to treat her the same as before. If he hadn’t been betrayed by her, he might still be a talented second-generation god. Instead, he has grown into the twisted person he is now.   On the other side,   Feng Ji felt a little amused when she saw Ye Yuehui pause, and joy flashed in her eyes.   "I know that you are not as ruthless and unjust to me as you show. Just now you deliberately scared me like that, just to make me retreat, right?"   Feng Ji continued, "I admit that I was really scared just now, but no matter what you become, you will always be the same person I knew back then -"   "Boom...ah..."   "Plop!"      Before Feng Ji finished speaking, an afterimage passed before her eyes. She was kicked neatly into the Ye Tai Lake. After a moment, the water splashed and she screamed. The incident happened suddenly. Before Feng Ji could react, she found herself plunged into the lake. Hua Zuiyue calmly retracted her foot, looking at her work with satisfaction. Then she turned around and met Ye Yuehui's astonished gaze. Hua Zuiyue: "..." Uh-oh! Now she's in trouble! Pointing at Feng Ji, Hua Zuiyue preemptively said, "Husband, she bullied you." Ye Yuehui: "..." His expression returning to normal, Ye Yuehui eyed the woman who had suddenly appeared on Ye Tai Platform, narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Your Highness, can you explain why you are here?" Hua Zuiyue: "..." She blinked, struggling to find a suitable excuse. Before she could respond, Feng Ji emerged from the lake, dripping wet and furious. "And what exactly do you mean by this?" Feng Ji's voice was cold, her upbringing preventing her from outright yelling at Hua Zuiyue. Hua Zuiyue: "..." Under Feng Ji's icy stare, Hua Zuiyue shrank back, but then she found her courage and quietly retorted, "You bullied my husband." Feng Ji: "???" The word "Husband" made Feng Ji's skin crawl. In a quick, quiet voice, Hua Zuiyue added, "If you make him unhappy, I'll make you unhappy." Feng Ji: "..." What an idiot! Without wasting any time, Feng Ji's eyes hardened, and she cast a spell to drag Hua Zuiyue into the water. Seeing the situation escalating, Hua Zuiyue quickly hid behind Ye Yuehui and grabbed his sleeve. "Husband, she wants to hit me." Ye Yuehui: "..." "Let go!" "Won't let go!" Hua Zuiyue clung to his sleeve, mumbling, "She makes my husband unhappy. She's a bad woman. Husband, please punish her!" Ye Yuehui: "..." Feng Ji: "..." Ye Yuehui felt a headache forming and couldn't help but scold, "Shut up!" "Okay." Ye Yuehui: "..." Furious, Feng Ji cast a spell, but Ye Yuehui easily neutralized it. Eyes brimming with tears, Feng Ji stared at Ye Yuehui. "Yuehui, you actually... help her?" Her gaze was full of disapproval, as if looking at a heartless traitor. Hua Zuiyue peeked out from Ye Yuehui's sleeve and said confidently, "He's my husband. If he doesn't help me, should he help you?" "Shut up!" Feng Ji shouted, biting her lip as tears streamed down her face. Hua Zuiyue: "..." She hadn't said much. Why was Feng Ji still crying? "Well, don't cry," Hua Zuiyue sighed, then cautiously poked her head out. Her big, confused eyes shone with the light of the moon. "If you feel wronged, you can hit me once." She came out, appearing as a 'kind' little demon. Ye Yuehui: "..." Feng Ji: "..." Feng Ji, infuriated by Hua Zuiyue's action, summoned her divine weapon. Hua Zuiyue: "!!!" Panicking, Hua Zuiyue hid behind Ye Yuehui again. Ye Yuehui, unsure of what she was thinking, blocked the weapon with his hand. "Fairy Feng Ji, as a direct descendant of the Feng clan, why bother arguing with a fool?" Hua Zuiyue, the "fool": "..." I don't really want to be a fool. Feng Ji's face shifted from disbelief to hurt. "Yuehui, you have changed," she murmured to herself. The darkness in Ye Yuehui's eyes disappeared, but his smile didn’t reach them. "Since Fairy Feng Ji is fine, we will leave now."   (End of this chapter)
