Chapter 14: The Female Protagonist Killed the Male Protagonist’s Parents, and the Male Protagonist Killed the Female Protagonist:
As soon as Father Xiao finished speaking, he prepared to kneel.
But Xiao Fan suddenly shouted, “Dad, don’t kneel to this b*****d! He just wants to humiliate you by making you kneel. He’s torturing you!”
Father Xiao’s face turned red with anger. “Shut up! If you had focused on your studies and stayed out of trouble, how could this have happened?”
Xiao’s mother, her voice heavy with disappointment, added, “Xiao Fan, how could you turn out like this? Interfering in someone else’s relationship, barging into an engagement ceremony to cause trouble—what were you thinking?”
Xiao Ruyi, who had been silent, now glared at her brother.
Xiao Fan had always been her role model, someone she admired. So, she never imagined that beneath his upright and respectable facade lay such disgraceful behavior. In her heart, his once-bright image collapsed completely.
But there was no time to dwell on ruined impressions. The reality before them was grim—if they didn’t handle the situation carefully, their lives were at stake. Xiao Ruyi glanced nervously at the lifeless bodies of the Liu and Yan families and shuddered.
Xiao Fan, seeing no way to defend himself, finally muttered in pain, “Don’t ask anymore… don’t ask.” Even now, he clung to the hope of appearing like a good son in his parents’ eyes.
Qin Yan watched the family with cold indifference.
While they were focused on each other, he quietly turned to Liu Xinyao, his gaze icy. “I’ll give you a chance to live,” he said. “Kill Xiao Fan’s parents, or you die.”
Liu Xinyao trembled under his wolf-like stare but felt a flicker of hope. She had thought her death was certain, yet here was a slim chance to survive. It was like seeing a beam of light in the darkest night, and she couldn’t help but grasp at it.
She turned toward Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, her eyes fierce.
Slowly, she began walking toward them.
Qin Yan smirked, curious to see what the male protagonist would do if the heroine killed his parents. As Liu Xinyao neared Xiao Fan’s family, Xiao Fan noticed her approach.
Remembering Qin Yan’s earlier command, a chill swept through his body.
“Liu Xinyao!” he roared. “Stay away from my parents, or I’ll kill you!”
The Xiao family turned to Liu Xinyao, their expressions conflicted. They didn’t know how to face her.
Liu Xinyao suddenly burst into tears. “Uncle, Aunt, you have to stand up for me! Everything I’ve become—it’s all Xiao Fan’s fault! My boyfriend is gone, my family is gone… I have nothing left!”
Her pitiful cries softened the hearts of Father Xiao and Mother Xiao. They stepped forward, wanting to console her, but their kindness was met with betrayal. Liu Xinyao lunged forward, grabbed a knife from a nearby Qin family warrior, and stabbed it into Father Xiao’s chest.
The long blade pierced through his heart, emerging from his back, its tip dripping red.
Father Xiao’s eyes widened in shock. “You… you…” he gasped, his voice weak.
Liu Xinyao’s face twisted with madness. Her hair was disheveled, her expression feral. “Xiao Fan destroyed my life! Why should your family live?”
Xiao’s mother screamed in horror. “Old Xiao! Old Xiao!”
“No!” Xiao Fan bellowed, his voice filled with anguish. Rage surged within him, unleashing a sudden burst of energy. He staggered to his feet, charging toward Liu Xinyao like a wild beast. But before he could take more than a few steps, an invisible force struck his legs, sending him crashing to the ground.
This gave Liu Xinyao enough time to pull the knife from Father Xiao’s body and turn it on Xiao’s mother. “Die! All of you, die!” she shrieked, stabbing Mother Xiao in the chest.
Mother Xiao, an ordinary woman, stood no chance against Liu Xinyao, who had years of martial training. She looked down at the blade protruding from her chest, then up at Liu Xinyao’s monstrous face. Her lips quivered. “Please… spare my daughter…”
Her plea only drew Liu Xinyao’s attention to Xiao Ruyi, who was frozen with terror. Xiao Ruyi collapsed to the ground, trembling. “No… don’t come near me! Don’t!”
Liu Xinyao yanked the knife free and advanced slowly, her voice dripping with malice. “Little sister, do you know what your brother has done?”
Xiao Ruyi nodded, then shook her head frantically. “I… I just found out. I didn’t know before!”
Liu Xinyao let out a chilling laugh. “Your brother is a hypocrite, a liar, and a fool. He deserves to die. And so do you.”
She raised the knife high, ready to strike. But before she could bring it down, Xiao Fan roared, “Liu Xinyao, you deserve to die!”
The sound of steel slicing through flesh echoed as Xiao Fan drove a blade into Liu Xinyao’s back. The knife pierced through her chest, the tip dripping with blood.
Xiao Ruyi screamed at the sight, her mind overwhelmed.
She fainted, unable to endure the horror.
Qin Yan watched the scene unfold, his expression amused. He almost applauded.
The male protagonist’s beloved had killed his parents, and the male protagonist had killed her in turn. “What a masterpiece,” Qin Yan thought, giving himself a mental thumbs-up as the orchestrator of this tragedy.
Xiao Fan, now emotionally shattered, coughed up blood. His spirit was broken, his body weakened, but his hatred burned fiercely. He turned to Qin Yan, his voice hoarse with rage. “Qin Yan… I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you!”
Staggering, he lifted his knife and limped toward Qin Yan.
Before he could get close, a Qin family warrior kicked his leg, snapping it.
Xiao Fan fell again, but his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Qin Yan, seething with hatred.
Qin Yan glanced at him with disdain before shifting his attention to Gao Wei. “Xiao Fan, your beloved teacher Gao Wei is next,” he announced coldly. “I want you to watch everyone who cared for you die before your eyes.”
Turning to Qin Zhan, Qin Yan gave his order. “Second Uncle, finish him.”
Qin Zhan grinned. “I’ve been waiting for this,” he said, drawing his sword and approaching Gao Wei.
Gao Wei, though gravely injured, stood up with an unnerving calm. “Wait,” he said. “I have something to say.”
Qin Yan snorted. “If it’s your last words, I’m not interested. Second Uncle, kill him.”
Qin Zhan raised his sword and swung. But before the blade could connect, Gao Wei’s body began to swell unnaturally. A strange smile spread across his face.
Qin Zhan’s eyes widened. “He’s going to blow himself up! Everyone, get back!” he shouted.
