Chapter 1930: Jealousy Can Make One Lose Their Mind

The villagers secretly praised Shi Youxuan for her intelligence, saying that only she was worthy of a man like Yano.

On what grounds?

It was clear that her good friend Yafei was the smartest person, yet after Shi Youxuan arrived, she became the smartest one?

Who does Shi Youxuan think she is?

A foreigner who ran here from who knows where, snatching away the things she and her best friend were most proud of and valued the most, one after another.

Jealousy, back then, didn't just make Yafei lose her mind; Yafang was also someone whose brain was clouded by jealousy!

She was jealous of Shi Youxuan and had hated her for decades.

Shi Youxuan did not know what Yafang was thinking, so she asked calmly, "Yafang, can you tell me why you have such great hostility toward me?"

"Because you are beautiful, because you are smart! Because a woman like you, who popped out of nowhere, actually snatched away our best Yano. On what grounds?"

Shi Youxuan:...

On what grounds?

She replied: "On the grounds that Yano was my man to begin with. He is the best, but he is mine. He was mine before, he is mine now, he will be mine in the future, and he always has been!"

Yafang said viciously: "Our gods are all fair and would never give all the benefits to one person, but on what grounds do you have everything?"

"This is the reason why I hate you. Do you understand now?"

Shi Youxuan smiled and said: "Oh, so that's how it is. I understand; you are just jealous."

Yafang:...

She would not admit that she was jealous, but the facts were just that; even if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't refute it.

Shi Youxuan continued: "Fine, even if you hate me and want to take revenge on me, I can understand that. But why did you bring Pirates back? This is the place that gave birth to you and raised you. You can hate me, but did the people here provoke you too?"

Yafang was speechless for a moment.

But she quickly found a reason for her actions: "They all speak in your favor. Clearly, I am the one from here; on what grounds do they turn their backs on me? I just want to take revenge on them because they are biased!"

She looked at Shi Youxuan's still-lovely appearance and youthful face, her teeth aching with hatred: "It's so unfair! It's all because you, this enchantress, used sorcery on them. Otherwise, why would you never grow old? You will go to hell after you die..."

Yafang's resentment was too deep; she cursed Shi Youxuan incessantly, getting more fluent the more she cursed, and simply couldn't stop.

Shi Youxuan was a kind person, but she was not someone to be bullied.

If things were discussed reasonably, anything would be fine.

But being unreasonable and cursing?

She was not without methods.

She had someone tie Yafang up again and stuffed a rag into her mouth, and finally, her ears were at peace.

Unable to speak, Yafang glared at her fiercely.

It was finally Shi Youxuan's home turf.

She glared back quite smugly: "Glaring at me? Is that the only ability you have left now? Just glaring at someone isn't impressive. If you have the guts, bite me, or curse at me..."

Shi Youxuan did not know that her current appearance was exactly like Yueyue.

She was like a child who hadn't grown up, especially infuriating, yet there was not a hint of awkwardness, and it wasn't pretentious at all.

Yafang's mind was lost to anger and jealousy; she struggled desperately, wanting to break free from the restraints of the Rope and even more so to spit out the rag in her mouth.

She wanted to rush in front of Shi Youxuan, tear her to pieces, and devour her alive.

But she couldn't do any of it and could only glare in vain!

Shi Youxuan would not let this opportunity pass, outputting words that could infuriate someone to death without mercy: "Tsk tsk, I originally thought you targeted me because of jealousy, but looking at it now, that's really not it."

"You are just a mad dog. You don't care who is close or dear; you bite whoever you catch. Something like you should be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks..."

"It is truly Yafei's misfortune to have known you. It's a pity she treated you as a good sister. If she has a spirit in heaven and knows you would bring people back to attack this place, she would never let you off!"

When Shi Youxuan said other things, Yafang just glared at her angrily.

But when Shi Youxuan mentioned Yafei, she became exceptionally agitated, struggling even more desperately to break free from her restraints, making "woo-woo" sounds in her throat as if she wanted to argue with her, feeling that what she said was wrong.

Shi Youxuan said to the guard again: "Remove the rag from her mouth."

"What if she curses you again?"

"It's fine, she can't out-curse me."

Guard:...

Thus, he removed the rag from Yafang's mouth.

Regaining the freedom to speak, Yafang immediately cursed loudly: "Shi Youxuan, you vicious woman, you will definitely go to hell, you will die a horrible death..."

Shi Youxuan: "Rest assured, a woman like you hasn't gone to hell yet, so how could I go? I will live well, and even if you die of jealousy, it will be useless."

Yafang blurted out: "How did you know I have always been jealous of you?"

"That's right, I am jealous of you! If you hadn't come here back then, I would have been the prettiest girl here, but after you came, I wasn't anymore. They were all whispering about you behind your back, and even the young men who had a crush on me at the time said you were better looking than me..."

"From that moment on, you were my enemy. Whenever I thought of you, my teeth would ache with hatred. I wanted to personally ruin your face and ruin your happy family... On what grounds? On what grounds do you have everything you want, while I am inferior to you in everything?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She didn't know that she had just said it casually, but she had inadvertently guessed the truth.

She asked Yafang: "Before you came back this time, did you know I was here?"

Yafang's blood was already boiling; she didn't think at all and blurted out: "I didn't know. I came back to take revenge on the people here. They all spoke well of you, and for your sake, they even drove me out. I hate them."

"If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have brought just these few people. I would have brought all the most heinous Pirates from the sea and let you all, every single one of you, die without a burial place, hahahahaha..."

This woman was already deranged; she was blinded by jealousy and hatred, and there was no reason to be found.

Litian did not know when he had started standing behind his mother; he had heard all of Yafang's crazy words.

He said coldly: "Hopeless."

According to the rules here, traitors must receive the most severe punishment.

Yafang was hung back up on the high wooden pole to be dried into a human jerky, as a warning to others.

However, Shi Youxuan felt it was too cruel; she still wanted to plead for Yafang, wanting her to have a quick end rather than dying in such agony.

She was the woman of the "God," and after hearing her opinion, Yaqing had people take the dying Yafang down again, letting her perform hard labor in the village and sparing her life.

The person who took her down was someone who had secretly loved her in his early years—Yagang.

"Why show me leniency? Is it because you remember that we grew up together that you let me go?" Yafang knew the rules here; she had thought she would definitely be tortured to death, but the result was that she was let off lightly, which left her very puzzled.
