Im Not Your Usual Villain - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: How Could You Bear It?

Translation by: Weebsread👹

Xu Qing seized Lin Feng by the arm and turned to leave.

Not a single soul in the sect hall dared to stop her.

After all, Xu Qing was Su He’s most cherished disciple.

No matter how grave her mistakes, Su He would always forgive her unconditionally—even going so far as to scold those who dared report her misdeeds.

Over time, Xu Qing had grown willful and domineering.

She rampaged through the sect unchecked; even the elders dared not provoke her lightly.

But just then, Su He—who had remained silent all this while—finally spoke. “Stop.”

His tone was calm, almost indifferent, yet both Xu Qing and Lin Feng froze in their tracks.

Lin Feng’s face, in particular, drained of all color.

A terrifying aura had locked onto him, so overwhelming he felt as insignificant as an ant before a towering mountain.

...

...

Cold sweat streamed down his back.

In that moment, Lin Feng tasted the chill of death. His face twisted with fear.

“Master!” Xu Qing’s voice trembled as well.

It was true—her master had always doted on her, always let her have her way.

But eloping—this was no trivial matter. Even she couldn't be sure Su He would forgive her so easily.

Yet as Xu Qing recalled all the times Su He had indulged her, her heart steadied.

No matter what, she told herself, in the end, Master would forgive her. He always did.

After all, she was his most beloved disciple.

“Qing’er, the sect has raised you for so many years, poured countless resources into your growth, and sacrificed who knows how many disciples to protect you along the way.”

Su He rose from his seat, walking toward Xu Qing at an unhurried pace. His tone was cold and detached as he spoke: “And this is how you repay us? You simply picked up some stray man from outside?”

“With one phrase—‘we’re in love’—you claim the sect stands in the way of your happiness. So now you want to sever all ties, abandon the master who raised you, and turn your back on the sect that gave you everything.”

“What a touching display of gratitude. What a filial, selfless disciple you are. Truly, I’m moved to tears.”

Listening to Su He’s biting sarcasm, Xu Qing’s face flushed red and white by turns—her cheeks burning with humiliation.

But then, anger flared in her eyes as she glared back at Su He.

Everything he said was true—so true she couldn't even find a retort.

Yet since childhood, her master had always doted on her without reservation—when had he ever spoken to her with such harshness?

Almost instinctively, she lashed out, her expression growing cold. “Master, if you keep talking like this, I really will ignore you for the rest of my life!”

This tactic had never failed her before.

Whenever she threw out this threat, Su He would immediately back down, putting on a smile to coax her.

But Xu Qing had no idea—the Su He standing before her was no longer the same man who had once doted on her so shamelessly.

Now, he was a transmigrator from another world.

Su He heard her words, but instead of coaxing her, he only felt a wave of disgust.

The old Su He had treated Xu Qing as a precious treasure.

But in the new Su He’s eyes, Xu Qing wasn’t even worth a pile of dung.

Watching her throw this childish tantrum, he could barely suppress the urge to retch.

Smack.

He slapped her, hard. Then, with a cold glance at Xu Qing, he said, “Utterly disgraceful.”

Xu Qing’s cheek swelled instantly.

She stared at Su He in shock and disbelief, eyes wide.

All around, the elders and disciples of the sect gaped in astonishment.

No one could believe it—Su He, who had always doted on Xu Qing as if she were the apple of his eye, had actually struck her himself.

“You dare lay a hand on Xu Qing!” Lin Feng exploded with fury, glaring at Su He as if ready to challenge him on the spot.

Su He merely glanced at Lin Feng, casual and indifferent.

In that instant, Lin Feng’s face turned deathly pale, his legs trembling. He didn’t dare utter another word.

Now that Su He had openly turned his anger on Xu Qing, the elders and disciples no longer feared reprisal. One by one, they seized the moment to voice their contempt, hurling scorn at Xu Qing.

“What an ungrateful traitor!”

“How could the sect have raised something like you?”

“Shameless woman—how dare you call yourself the Sect Master’s disciple?”

Xu Qing was stunned, clutching her burning cheek as tears welled in her beautiful eyes.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined her ever-indulgent master would strike her.

Nor could she have imagined that her fellow disciples—who once treated her like a rare treasure—would now spit such venom at her.

It was clear she had never once reflected on her own actions.

To her, the fault always lay with everyone else.

Wronged and resentful, Xu Qing shot Su He a look of pure hatred. “Master, this is the last time I’ll ever call you that!”

“From this day forth, there is no bond between us. We are strangers!”

With that, she grabbed Lin Feng’s hand and turned to leave.

“If you want to go, I can grant your wish.” Su He’s indifferent voice rang out once more.

Hearing this, Xu Qing’s heart leapt with joy. As she expected, her master was just putting on a stern front—deep down, he still cared for her.

But then she remembered the humiliation she’d just suffered. Puffing out her cheeks, she resolved not to forgive Su He so easily.

This time, she thought, she’d make him apologize a hundred times before she’d even consider coming back.

But—

“You may leave, but the Supreme Bone stays.”

As Su He spoke, a blade flashed through the air, embedding itself in the ground at Xu Qing’s feet.

Xu Qing and Lin Feng froze, stunned.

Su He looked at Xu Qing coldly, a chilling smile tugging at his lips.

The Supreme Bone—a peerless treasure, the rarest of all divine bones under heaven.

Whoever possessed a Supreme Bone could effortlessly become a prodigy of the martial path. Their cultivation would be smoother, their battle power far surpassing others of the same realm—sometimes by severalfold, even dozens of times.

Beyond that, the Supreme Bone granted mysterious innate abilities, the likes of which defied understanding.

Xu Qing, as it happened, possessed such a Supreme Bone.

But she hadn’t been born with it.

No—the Supreme Bone was the sacred relic of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, passed down through countless generations. It could be refined and fused into a person, creating a man-made martial genius.

And this Supreme Bone… there was only one in all of Tai Xuan Holy Land—indeed, in all of Eastern Wasteland.

The former Su He had cherished Xu Qing so much, he’d bestowed the Supreme Bone upon her himself.

In the original story, after Xu Qing betrayed the sect, the old Su He—blinded by love—let her leave with the Supreme Bone.

As a result, Xu Qing used its power again and again to help Lin Feng, allowing him to seize countless opportunities and escape from crisis after crisis.

In the end, it was thanks to the Supreme Bone that Lin Feng was able to kill Su He.

Now, there was no way Su He would let Xu Qing walk away with the Supreme Bone—he refused to let it become the weapon Lin Feng would use against him.

He even began to wonder: without the Supreme Bone, would Lin Feng ever have what it takes to threaten him?

Inside the sect hall, the elders and disciples all held their breath, excitement flickering in their eyes.

“That’s right! The Supreme Bone is the sacred inheritance of our Tai Xuan Holy Land! How could we possibly allow an outsider to take it away?”

“Xu Qing, did you really think the Sect Master would let you leave with the Supreme Bone? It was never yours to begin with.”

“The Supreme Bone is the most priceless treasure under heaven—its value is beyond measure!”

Once the Supreme Bone was reclaimed, it would become a masterless treasure once more.

That meant others in the sect would have a chance to compete for it.

Realizing this, the crowd’s excitement only grew.

“Wait!”

Lin Feng, growing desperate, forced himself to glare at Su He with feigned outrage. “Sect Master, Xu Qing is your personal disciple!”

“How could you be so heartless—how could you even consider taking her Supreme Bone?”

Before coming to Tai Xuan Holy Land, Lin Feng had planned everything out.

With Xu Qing and her Supreme Bone at his side, he’d be able to enter countless secret realms he’d never dared approach before.

If Xu Qing lost the Supreme Bone, all his plans would come to nothing.

How could he possibly let that happen?
