CHAPTER 264: CHAPTER 259: HEROINE AND DEMONESS

Ling Batian really couldn’t understand why he had ended up in such a state. Hadn’t he received the protagonist’s script?

Now his body was broken, his eyes were blind, he had nothing left! All those women who used to fawn over him disappeared without a trace once he was imprisoned; they were all fake, and to think he used to like them so much!

They were all a bunch of cheap women!

"Let me out, let me out!" Ling Batian struggled violently.

"Be quiet." The prison guard pressed him down impatiently, "You’re disabled and still not compliant, get back in there."

The cellmate in the same ward couldn’t help but smirk at the sight, the employer had said, the more miserable this man was, the more money they’d receive. Don’t blame them for not being polite in the days to come.

Years later, when Ye Qiu learned of Ling Batian’s release, he had already been tortured into an inhuman form in prison, his eyes were blind, his left foot and right hand were disabled, and when he was released, not a single person came to pick him up. One could imagine what the ultimate outcome would be for someone penniless and disabled like him.

Ye Qiu had not a shred of sympathy for him; after all, when Ling Batian was in power in his previous life, he didn’t spare Ye Qiu’s family, not at all. His stepfather, due to business bankruptcy and heavy debts, couldn’t withstand the pressure from the high-interest loans and leapt from the thirtieth floor, and Ye Qiu, the unproductive rich second generation, was manipulated by Ling Batian into that kind of pleasure house, miserably scraping by for a lifetime.

"You little rascal, all you know is to go out and have fun, not even bothering to take care of the family business." As soon as Ye Shengyuan came home, he saw his prodigal son lying on the ground playing games, and anger surged to the top of his head.

"Ay, Dad, be gentle." Ye Qiu winced in pain, "You’re going to rip off my ear, besides, didn’t I train a few chefs? Why do I still need to be involved?"

Hearing this irresponsible remark, Ye Shengyuan became even more enraged: "Training a few chefs means you can play around? What about the other businesses?"

"Aren’t you handling the business? I don’t understand it."

"I’m already at this age, how long can I manage it? If you don’t understand, can’t you learn?" Ye Shengyuan glared at his son with wide eyes, other people’s sons were actively fighting for their inheritance, but his own son was not in a hurry and had no interest in this regard.

"I’m lazy, I won’t learn," Ye Qiu said confidently, "My dream is to be a carefree rich second generation."

"Then you go for a matchmaking arrangement and at least produce an heir for me; if you do that, I won’t bother you anymore." Such conversations had taken place countless times, and Ye Shengyuan had lost hope of his son taking over; if his son wasn’t up to it, perhaps his grandson could. He hoped to work a few more years until his grandson came of age.

"No matchmaking, I’m fine on my own." Ye Qiu quickly soothed his father as he saw him getting angry again, "But the grandson is already on the way, so you don’t have to worry."

Ye Shengyuan clearly didn’t believe it: "You don’t have a girlfriend, where would I have a grandson from? You little rascal, at least put some thought into your lies."

"I didn’t lie to you; I arranged for a surrogate pregnancy three months ago. In seven more months, your grandson will be born."

"Are you serious?" Ye Shengyuan’s attitude toward his son’s marriage and his son taking over the family business had long been without hope, but now hearing that his grandson was to be born in seven months was a tremendous delight.

With this hope in mind, Ye Shengyuan really stopped nagging Ye Qiu. He understood his son and also blamed himself; after the child’s mother passed away, he had been too busy with business to properly educate him, raising him into the idle, extravagant prodigal son he was now.

However, since his son didn’t take drugs, didn’t gamble, and didn’t fool around with women, he was already contented enough. What’s the harm in playing games and loving to travel? No issue, he could afford it. Even after he was gone, he still had his grandson to take care of this ignorant father!

Ye Qiu naturally died of old age in this life; dying without any suffering, he passed away peacefully.

On the day he left, his son Ye Bo cried his heart out. Although Ye Qiu had not achieved much in this life, he was extremely affectionate towards his own son, always hands-on in care, which made Ye Bo very dependent on him. Even Ye Bo’s children later on adored Ye Qiu, the grandfather who was cheerful, dashing, and an excellent cook.

"Yes."

"Ye Qiu, come out here!" Ye Qiu found himself hiding in a dark little box, and a robust male voice came from outside, sounding angry. Ye Qiu was even more afraid to come out.

"Brother Tian, Qiuqiu is still young, don’t pressure her," said a beautiful woman who walked in, speaking gently.

Nobody knew that the Poisonous Lady, who caused the martial arts world to tremble in fear, was a gentle and virtuous little wife at home.

"Xian Mei, weren’t you and I identifying medicines at four or five years old? This girl is already ten years old and still so playful? If she doesn’t learn, who will we entrust Medicine Valley to in the future?" Ye Chongtian sighed with a headache, not sure whom this child took after.

"We can accept a few more disciples, can’t we? Aren’t we capable of protecting her? Besides, when Qiuqiu eventually gets married off to Chongjian Manor, there will be plenty of people to protect her. We’ve worked hard all our lives; let the child have some ease. Remember the hardships we endured as children? Do you have the heart to put her through that?" Ye Lingxian advised.

It was precisely because he couldn’t bear it that he let the child play until the age of ten without understanding anything. Ye Chongtian sighed. Well, with their protection, it’s good for the child to lead a carefree life.

The couple, who were also martial siblings, walked cuddling out of the boudoir, and only then did Ye Qiu hiding in the box breathe a sigh of relief, recalling the plot in her mind.

In this life, Ye Qiu was the sole successor of Medicine Valley, the only daughter of the Medicine King Ye Chongtian and the Poisonous Lady Ye Lingxian. From childhood, she was engaged to Yin Shaochen, the successor of the martial arts’ foremost sect Chongjian Manor, and was set to marry him upon coming of age.

Ye Qiu had cherished her capable and handsome fiancé from a young age, but ultimately she was betrayed by Yin Shaochen, who fell in love with the Demoness Leng Zhao Yue from the Demon Sect.

And because Ye Qiu was Yin Shaochen’s fiancée, Leng Zhao Yue saw her as a thorn in her side, attempting to assassinate her time and again.

Ye Qiu was mischievous from a young age and had not inherited her parents’ skills. Eventually, after running out of the poison she carried, she fell victim to the Demon Sect’s poison and died an untimely death.

In an attempt to avenge her, her parents engaged in an endless battle with the Demon Sect, which, however, managed to obtain the passage to Medicine Valley from Yin Shaochen, resulting in Medicine Valley being reduced to ashes overnight.
