50. Helpless Lin Qingtan

-

Lin Qingtan wiped the tears from her cheeks, nodding firmly. Her eyes were still misty with tears.

Ding! Lin Qingtan feels sorrow. Emotion points +100.

Chen Xuan smirked maliciously. "Alright, I'll give you a chance."

"A chance?" Lin Qingtan looked puzzled, still not fully aware of the danger.

Chen Xuan warned her, "Remember, this is your only chance. If you waste it, I'll send them to the afterlife."

"What do you want me to do?" Lin Qingtan asked.

With a serious expression, Chen Xuan replied, "Well, since you're here, of course, I want you to…"

"No! No way!" Lin Qingtan shook her head furiously.

She had once vowed to keep herself only for Brother Lin Dong, even if he didn't feel the same way about her.

She would rather die than give herself to someone else.

Chen Xuan didn't care and replied coldly, "If that's your choice, then Lin Xiao and the others won't need to keep on living."

As he spoke, an arrow of Yuan energy materialized and pointed directly at Lin Xiao and his wife.

Seeing this, Lin Qingtan's face changed drastically, and she quickly stopped him, "No! Please don't hurt them. I'll… I'll do whatever else you want."

Ding! Lin Qingtan feels fear. Emotion points +500.

"Lin Qingtan, do you think this is a market where you can bargain with me?" Chen Xuan sneered.

If not for his unfinished plans, Lin Qingtan and her family would already be dead.

Lin Xiao and his wife exchanged glances. Lin Xiao shouted, "Qingtan, get away from here and don't worry about us!"

Liu Yan also urged, "Qingtan, tell Lin Dong not to seek revenge unless he's truly powerful!"

"Father, Mother!" Lin Qingtan wept bitterly at their words.

Chen Xuan sneered, "Do you really think you can escape without my permission?"

"Wait!" Just as he was about to take action, Lin Qingtan shouted.

"Speak!" Chen Xuan said.

"I… I'll do as you say," she replied, as if resigning herself to her fate.

But Chen Xuan didn't withdraw the arrow and simply grinned, "Then strip."

"Now? Here?" Lin Qingtan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ding! Lin Qingtan feels shocked. Emotion points +200.

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Of course."

"No! Not here!" Lin Qingtan shook her head, horrified at the thought of her parents seeing her like that.

She could only imagine their pain, and she'd never be able to face them again.

"Oh well, then I'll just have to kill them, and then I'll kill Lin Dong too," he replied indifferently.

Lin Qingtan immediately clung to his leg, begging, "No, please don't…"

Chen Xuan looked down at her and said coldly, "Lin Qingtan, my patience is wearing thin."

"Fine… just please don't hurt them. I'll do whatever you want." She spoke as tears streamed down her face, making her look as fragile as a wounded bird.

Ding! Lin Qingtan feels despair. Emotion points +500.

Chen Xuan didn't expect to collect so many emotion points from her and suddenly had an even bolder idea.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Need me to help?" he demanded impatiently.

Sobbing, Lin Qingtan turned to look at her parents, biting her lip.

A few moments later, she closed her tearful eyes, and her light blue dress slipped off her shoulders, exposing her delicate form to the forest.

"Qingtan!" Lin Xiao screamed, his voice full of anguish.

Liu Yan fainted on the spot.

"Father, Mother, forgive me… I have no choice. In the next life, I'll repay you for all your care and love."

She had resolved that after this, she would take her own life to end the misery.

But Chen Xuan wasn't done. He approached her, lifted her chin, and pushed a pill into her mouth, making sure she swallowed it.

He then did the same for Lin Xiao and Liu Yan, forcing them to take the same pill right in front of Lin Qingtan.

Ding! Lin Qingtan feels terrified. Emotion points +200.

Lin Qingtan gasped, "What did you… make us take?"

She tried desperately to induce vomiting but only gagged. The pill would not come out.

Chen Xuan simply said, "It's called the Twin Heart Parasite. You can't get rid of it."

"The Twin Heart Parasite?" she murmured, unfamiliar with the term.

"Yes." Chen Xuan nodded, pointing at her parents. "If you kill yourself, they'll die instantly. And if they die, Lin Dong will die as well."

"You…!" Lin Qingtan was enraged.

Chen Xuan cut her off, "Don't worry. As long as you live well, they'll be safe."

The parasite was something he had purchased in the system store with emotion points. He then looked at her coldly, "Now, do it yourself."

After a moment of hesitation, she complied, as he unleashed his full cruelty.

"Qingtan! No! Stop!" Lin Xiao screamed in agony.

"Why don't you come after me instead, you coward!" he shouted as Chen Xuan continued without mercy, a cold smile on his face.

Ever since he was betrayed, ever since no one defended him, he never aspired to be a hero. He only wanted revenge.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Lin Xiao cried in rage, spitting blood in his fury.

"Father…" Lin Qingtan whispered, covering her mouth.

"Ah!" Lin Xiao roared in helpless fury, preparing to end his own life.

But Chen Xuan reminded him of the parasite, leaving Lin Xiao no choice but to knock himself unconscious.

Watching them faint, Lin Qingtan wept silently, covering her mouth to avoid making any sound. Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable.
