Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 428 Ruanruan: I distinguish clearly between gratitude and grudges, and I never forgive!

Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Ruanruan: I distinguish clearly between gratitude and grudges, and I never forgive!

A layer of coldness veiled Qin Ruan’s delicate face as she stared intensely at Lin Hao, peering through his skin to the specter of Han Kexin within.

Han Kexin shivered under her gaze and took a step back: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Qin Ruan’s deep eyes unblinkingly stayed on her: "Han Kexin, what are you hiding? Come out now!"

"No I won’t!"

Lin Hao retreated two steps, eyeing Qin Ruan warily.

A mischievous smile tugged at the corner of Qin Ruan’s lips, her eyes as dark as ink glanced at Lin Hao: "Han Kexin, don’t push me or I won’t hold back. You will suffer if I have to use force."

Lin Hao’s hands clenched tightly into fists, his posture resembling that of a ... meek woman.

Such a delicate mannerism was completely out of place with his manly form. It was profoundly disturbing.

Han Kexin knew very well that she stood no chance against Qin Ruan. If things escalated into a fight, she would surely lose.

As Qin Ruan headed towards her, she glanced left, desperation sparkling in her eyes.

Qin Ruan followed her gaze, and a Underworld Envoy could be seen standing nearby.

Upon Qin Ruan’s gaze, the envoy bowed slightly.

In return, Qin Ruan nodded lightly at him.

However, as Qin Ruan shifted her gaze away from him, her pupils contracted abruptly.

She noticed a faint trace of bloodstain amidst the thick aura of the underworld emanating from the envoy.

Underworld Envoys, in general, are pale due to spending most of their time commuting between the Underworld, Puppet Hell, and similar places. Even the notable black and white envoys of the seventh and eighth ranks too bear a similar complexion.

However, the complexion of this particular envoy was almost transparent, and a faint demonic aura surrounded his soul.

Maintaining a calm expression, Qin Ruan gestured the envoy to come forward: "You, come over here."

After a moment of hesitation, the Underworld Envoy glided towards the spot where Lin Hao and Qin Ruan were standing.

Once again, he bowed to Qin Ruan: "Miss Qin."

In the Underworld, the name of Qin Ruan was renowned among the Underworld Envoys.

Upon closer examination, Qin Ruan noticed that the envoy was severely injured: "You are hurt."

The envoy responded perfunctorily, void of any emotions: "It’s nothing serious. I will recover after some rest."

Qin Ruan lowered her eyes and casually asked: "Where did you get that demonic aura from?"

The envoy responded in a mechanical tone, just as before: "I got hurt by an Evil Path escapee from the Underworld and was infected by a bit of demonic Qi."

Qin Ruan frowned, deep in thought: "You were injured by a Puppet?"

The envoy hung his head in shame, sounding dejected: "Miss Qin, you might not be aware, that Evil Path practitioner has made rapid progress in a short time. I encountered him in the outside search. At that time, he was entangled in a battle with a female puppet. I got hurt while fighting him."

Qin Ruan gave a slight nod, thoroughly inspecting the Underworld Envoy once again. Finding nothing amiss, she finally relaxed a little.

She then turned to look at Han Kexin, who was inside Lin Hao’s body: "Has you been with Grandmaster Wu all the time?"

Lin Hao quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, Grandmaster Wu hasn’t been well recently. My mom and I have been avoiding him because we are afraid he might hurt us.

Even today he summoned us. But who would have known... he devoured my mom at once and then tried to eat me. I managed to escape only because of this Underworld Envoy."

When Han Kexin called the Underworld Envoy ’big brother’ in Lin Hao’s body, the words that came out of her mouth were so flattering that it gave everyone goosebumps.

Lin Hao originally had a rough-hewn, handsomely unruly face with expressive brows.

With her calling him ’big brother,’ it felt enough to drive the Underworld Envoy standing next to Qin Ruan away.

The expressionless envoy coldly addressed Han Kexin: "There’s no need for you to address me like that. If the authorities heard about it, my position would undoubtedly be jeopardized."

Even the Envoys have their bottom lines. They are prohibited from falling in love with Puppets to prevent misuse of power for personal gain.

Han Kexin intended to win over the Underworld Envoy. However, he kept a respectful distance from her.

Her face went through several changes, stomping angrily using Lin Hao’s legs. Her actions were that of a petulant girl.

Qin Ruan could no longer tolerate it: "Han Kexin, get out of Lin Hao’s body now!"

She was afraid she might never be able to look at Lin Hao’s face again in the future.

"I won’t!" Han Kexin’s response came in a flirtatiously soft tone,

No wonder she has such an appealing voice. And this voice has the power to make any man feel like she had neatly scratched his heart.

With a smirk on her face, Qin Ruan didn’t bother to argue and materialized a golden whip from her Nether Power.

At the sight of the golden whip, Han Kexin’s face changed drastically, and she quickly left Lin Hao’s body within a blink of an eye.

The sudden departure left Lin Hao’s body to teeter and fall back.

Qin Ruan dissipated the golden whip, she stepped forward to support Lin Hao, allowed him to slide to the ground, still supported by the wall.

"Madam!"

Upon seeing this, Huo Chuan who was not far away yelled anxiously and quickly rushed over, fearful that something had happened. His hands were already reaching for the gun tucked in his waist.

Watching him rush over, loading his gun with a crisp sound that echoed through the hallway, Qin Ruan was silent.

In mere seconds Huo Chuan was by her side.

Standing in front of Qin Ruan, his icy-cold gaze intently set upon the paralysed Lin Hao leaning against the wall.

His eyes reflected a cold light, devoid of any emotion as his defensive position didn’t relax even a bit.

Huo Chuan was so fast that Qin Ruan didn’t even have time to explain.

Standing behind Huo Chuan, all she could see was his tense muscular back.

Rushed out in haste, Huo Chuan only wore a tank top.

Qin Ruan pursed her lips, reached out and patted his back, her voice was gentle, "Don’t get so worked up, nothing happened."

Huo Chuan didn’t turn his head, sharply looking around, he asked softly, "Madam, what happened to Lin Hao?"

"He got Puppet Possessed, and passed out for a while."

Huo Chuan understood instantly when the word ’Puppet’ was mentioned.

He protected Qin Ruan, his defensive attack stance dissipated, he stood straight and faced Qin Ruan.

"I thought someone was attacking secretly."

"You’re too nervous."

Huo Chuan didn’t deny, his tense mood markedly relaxed.

He took out the clip from the gun in his hand, then pulled back the breech.

The bullet that was already in the chamber, just that, was taken out.

Pointing at Lin Hao who was paralyzed on the ground, Qin Ruan said to Huo Chuan, "I can handle this, you carry Lin Hao into the room."

Huo Chuan concerned, asked, "Will Madam be okay alone?"

Qin Ruan raised her eyebrow, "If something happened, you wouldn’t be able to help."

Qin Ruan was joking, but Huo Chuan was serious.

His expression was solemn, his tone serious, "Should I inform the Third Master?"

Qin Ruan waved her hand, "No need, it’s all trivial matters, you take Lin Hao back to the room."

Huo Chuan nodded, walked over to Lin Hao, shouldered him and left.

After the two went into the room, the gentle expression on Qin Ruan’s face condensed, her surprised gaze fixedly staring at Han Kexin’s face.

Han Kexin’s face was like a dried tree bark, with even more wrinkles than an old man’s face.

Looking closely, there were even traces of blood in the wrinkles on her face.

Qin Ruan gloatingly said, "Did someone wreck your face?"

Han Kexin covered her face with her hand, glaring at Qin Ruan, furious, "It’s all because of you!"

Qin Ruan responded with a sarcastic expression, "I don’t recall ever having wrecked your face, don’t pin everything on me."

Han Kexin’s hatred was apparent in her eyes, "It wasn’t you, my mother and I wouldn’t have died. Had we not died, we wouldn’t have been used by Immortal Wu. Do you know how my face was ruined? It was damaged by the Evil Puppet of Hell, all of this is because of you!"

"Oh——" Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly drooping, she lazily yawned.

She crossed her arms in front of her body, glanced towards the Underworld Envoy on the side, and asked with a puzzled look, "Did you bring her here? Just to have her dump this load of rubbish on me?"

The Underworld Envoy’s face wasn’t looking too good either, he respectfully said to Qin Ruan, "This female puppet insisted on seeing you, she’s been giving me headaches. I’m sorry to have disturbed you, Miss Qin, I’ll take her away now."

Qin Ruan quickly motioned with her hand, "Hurry up then, just looking at her annoys me."

"Wait!" Han Kexin hurriedly called out.

Qin Ruan slightly raised her eyelids, "What else do you want to say?"

"I... I was wrong."

"..." Qin Ruan blinked her eyes, incredulously at Han Kexin.

She doubted whether there was something wrong with her ears. Han Kexin actually apologized to her, this is truly the sun rising in the west.

Qin Ruan, lifting her hand used her little finger to gingerly clean her ears, she with a face of curiosity asked, "What did you say?"

Han Kexin said embarrassedly, "I said I was wrong, I owe you an apology, I shouldn’t have hurt you!"

Qin Ruan turned towards the Underworld Envoy for confirmation, "Are you sure the puppet you brought is Han Kexin herself?"

The Underworld Envoy nodded, assuring, "Genuine."

Emotionally unstable, Han Kexin angrily said, "Qin Ruan, know your limit, I’ve said I was wrong!"

Qin Ruan laughed, "Is this how you apologize?"

This was her first time seeing an apology delivered with such an imposing attitude.

Han Kexin took a deep breath, her voice steady, "I am really sorry."

"Hmm——" Qin Ruan responded nonchalantly.

Han Kexin’s dark eyes stared directly at Qin Ruan, without blinking at all.

Qin Ruan raised her eyebrow, "I know, is there anything else?"

Han Kexin stuttered, "You need to forgive me."

Qin Ruan scoffed and motioned to the Underworld Envoy with her chin, "Explain, what’s going on?"

Courtesy when not due, suggests a hidden motive!

She didn’t believe Han Kexin would have a change of heart, and apologize without any gain in it for her.

The Underworld Envoy slowly said, "The Seventh and Eighth Masters once told her, only if she received your forgiveness, then she wouldn’t be sent into the rebirth-cycle of the beast-path."

"So it is..."

Qin Ruan laughed, her face blossomed into a brilliant smile, enchantingly beautiful.

Her red lips slightly opened, the eager-looking Han Kexin heard only three cold words: "I won’t forgive."

Her already unsightly face contorted even more, "You..."

"What, you take me for a good person? I’m not a saint, nor am I that magnanimous! I am clear on grudge and gratitude. I’m cold-blooded and carry grudges!"

Qin Ruan’s deep eyes were frosted, her gaze was coldly fixed on Han Kexin, "I will never forgive the people who have hurt me, no matter who they are, I will never forgive!"

Han Kexin couldn’t accept it, she didn’t want to get into the Beast Path Reincarnation, she wanted to remain human.

She glared angrily at Qin Ruan, "Why are you so cold and heartless? You’re alive and well, you haven’t lost anything, right?"

Had she not mentioned it, it would’ve been fine, but as soon as she did, the cold light in Qin Ruan’s eyes turned into a blade and stabbed towards Han Kexin.
