After Transmigrating Into the Book, I Raised the Sickly Side Male Character to Be the Yandere - Chapter 97
Chapter 97: Nian Nian Returns Again
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Temple of the God was suffocatingly oppressive.
“Go…” A low growl escaped from Yin Buqi’s throat, hoarse and broken, as if scorched by fierce flames.
“Go… leave… it’s better this way… just leave… stay far away from this calamity of a man like me…”
The surrounding attendants were all prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.
With a slight upward glance, they could see Yin Buqi’s terrifyingly pale feet.
He paced back and forth inside the hall with a hint of madness, his bare feet treading on the jade-white floor.
The paleness of his skin was stark, with faint blue veins visible beneath the surface.
The hem of his black robe, embroidered with gold thread, trailed behind him.
For some inexplicable reason, just the sight of those feet made the guards feel a shuddering sense of dread.
They quickly pressed their heads even lower.
“I personally pushed her away,” Yin Buqi muttered, and the atmosphere in the hall grew even heavier.
“But I am not happy about it.”
Just as the attendants were trembling, fearing that he might kill someone on a whim, Yin Buqi suddenly squatted in a corner.
He began to sob softly.
“My Nian Nian… is gone. I sent her away with my own hands.”
“I didn’t want to…”
He didn’t want to.
He knew his love was terrifying—filled with possessiveness, obsession, madness, and sickness.
He longed to lock Nian Nian in a room where sunlight could never reach.
He wanted nothing more than to entangle himself with her endlessly.
He wanted to possess her over and over, to hear her coy protests and her cries, until she vowed that her heart, like his, would never belong to anyone else.
He had once thought, even if she feared him as the bringer of misfortune and wanted to flee, he would destroy her without hesitation and bind her to his side.
But in truth, his love was restrained and subdued because he couldn’t bear to let her die.
If only he weren’t Nether Evil Resentment Seed.
He just wanted to love her properly, like any ordinary man.
“Young Master, bad news!”
A death guard rushed in but immediately sensed the oppressive tension in the room, a danger honed by years of survival on the edge of life and death.
Several people lay on the floor, yet the master himself was crouched in the corner, looking like a defeated victim.
The scene was bewildering.
The death guard tried signaling with his eyes to the dozen other guards, seeking an explanation.
The other guards: Don’t dare to speak.
With no choice, the death guard braced himself and reported urgently, “Young Master, Xiao Qi, who was secretly protecting Miss Jiang, has sent a report. The Black Abyss Flood Dragon has broken its seal, and Miss Jiang was attacked while leaving Qingqiu…”
Before he could finish speaking, a figure swept past him.
To be precise, it was a shadow.
It moved so quickly that afterimages lingered. In the blink of an eye, the figure had vanished.
The death guard watched Yin Buqi’s disappearing silhouette and twitched his lips.
This… is this The legendary handsome man like the wind? ? ?

To leave Qingqiu, one must fly across a stretch of black waters on a sword.
But unexpectedly, the calm surface of the water suddenly surged with towering waves, and dark smoke and clouds pressed down heavily.
Jiang Niannian exclaimed in shock, “What’s going on?”
Teng Jiao responded, “Rumor has it that a Black Abyss Flood Dragon is sealed within Qingqiu’s territory. The seal is extremely strong, and without the Qingqiu Goddess’s token, it’s impossible to break. Don’t worry and keep going.”
Before the words were finished, Jiang Niannian formed a hand seal and continued flying forward on her sword.
But a massive black creature suddenly burst out of the water.
It was snake-like, its body covered in black scales.
Its eyes glowed a blood-red, surrounded by demonic energy.
Baring sharp teeth, it lunged at her.
Jiang Niannian snapped, “Didn’t you say the seal was solid as a rock?!”
Teng Jiao: Activating Pretend-to-be-Dead Mode!
Jiang Niannian silently cursed multiple times and, without hesitation, shouted, “WTF!”
The jade sword at her waist unsheathed and slashed heavily into the creature’s body.
Blood splattered, drenching her.
The blade sank fully into the demon, but it seemed impervious to pain. It roared, its red eyes glowing like lanterns, and opened its mouth wide to swallow her.
Jiang Niannian flipped mid-air to dodge but plummeted downward.
She quickly summoned her jade sword again, blocking the creature’s sharp teeth.
The immense force sent a numbing shock through her arms.
She gritted her teeth.
“Teng Jiao! Didn’t they say to aim for a snake’s weak spot? Why doesn’t it work?!”
“Damn it, that’s for regular snakes! This is the Black Abyss Flood Dragon! How could it be the same? Are you insane?!”
Teng Jiao yelled, then froze.
“Wait, being around you too long has made me curse! No, this won’t do.”
“Hey! Don’t say that—it even sounds like me!”
Jiang Niannian retorted before snapping back to the situation.
“Now’s not the time! If you don’t think of something, I’m going to be dragon food!”
“The Black Abyss Flood Dragon is incredibly powerful. With your current Nascent Soul-stage cultivation, it’s impossible to kill it.”
At that moment, another sword suddenly shot out.
Frost gathered on its edge as it pierced the dragon, eliciting a piercing screech and forcing it to retreat several meters, giving Jiang Niannian a moment to catch her breath.
Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Niannian asked, “Xiao Qi? Why are you here?”
Xiao Qi didn’t reply, simply raising her sword.
The sharp blade gleamed as she attacked the flood dragon relentlessly.
After several rounds, she began to struggle.
The dragon’s rough scales tore into her skin, and its claws raked across her back.
As the dragon’s teeth loomed closer, a vine suddenly wrapped around Xiao Qi’s waist like a living serpent, pulling her away.
The dragon roared, its jagged white teeth dripping with foul, viscous fluid.
Enraged, it charged straight at Jiang Niannian.
Caught off guard!
Xiao Qi shouted in alarm, “Miss Jiang!”
“Boom!”
A massive wave surged as a figure dressed in black descended swiftly from above.
In one fluid motion, he pierced the flood dragon’s head with his sword.
Blood sprayed, drenching his robe, and dripped steadily from its hem.
The dragon let out a final, anguished wail before falling into the water.
Yin Buqi didn’t hesitate.
He quickly formed a sealing array, completing it in moments and restoring the waters to calm.
“Nian Nian, don’t be afraid…” His voice carried a mix of anger, guilt, and tenderness.
“I’m late.”
Behind him, his fox tails lashed wildly.
The red mark on his forehead glowed with eerie brilliance, and his pale skin made him look unhinged.
Before Jiang Niannian could respond, the fox tails coiled around her waist, wrapping her tightly.
In a flash, they both disappeared, leaving behind a bewildered, vine-bound Xiao Qi.
