Chapter 7 - The Male Lead

Su Ye threw the red outer robe onto his body and quickly backed away, like a bird startled by a gunshot. "It seems like you're much better now. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving."

Su Ye briefly glanced back at her stunningly gorgeous patient. Right now, she was acting as if she had just met the devil himself—she was trying her best to keep her distance, and was going to leave right after she had her say.

Suddenly, the man spoke softly behind her, "My savior."

At those words, Su Ye instantly froze, afraid to move, as if she her legs would be hacked off if she did.

Su Qing—the sole protagonist and male lead of Evil Emperor.

Despite her book being male-oriented, it ended up winning more female fans than male fans… and it was all because of Su Qing!

His mother was the most alluring matriarch of the serpent race, while his father was once a reigning shaman. Their union led to the birth of Su Qing, a man with unparalleled prodigious talent and stunning beauty.

Unfortunately, when he had been born, his mother had hated him while his father was disgusted by his very existence. As the serpent race despised his half-shaman heritage, his serpentine tail was dismembered, and he had been banished when he was seven. That was not all either—the elder shaman bound him with a vengeful curse, and he was neither able to live nor die.

At eleven, he had been unwittingly drawn to the human realm, and was almost corrupted because of his stunning looks that could give others a heart attack. However, his fortune took a turn at fifteen, when he saved an emperor and was appointed a Duke with a different last name.

Ten years had passed since then, but Su Ye knew that he would unite the seven races in another eight years, and rule over the continent of Olden. Conquering cities with devious schemes and ruthless methods, every step he took would be a storm of blood that left mountains of corpses in his wake.

In other words, the male lead Su Ye wrote used his mesmerizing good looks to create the most harrowing of hells.

Given what he had gone through during his childhood, did things like inner beauty or ethics even matter? All he had was a black, corrupted heart, hidden beneath his devilishly good looks.

Nobody was ever left alive in the massacres he instigated before uniting all the seven races. Be that as it may, his citizens worshipped him, for they felt that only the strongest leader could bring them to new heights.

Su Ye was certainly unwilling to encounter such a person and wanted to leave, but did not dare to do so. After all, no one knew Su Qing better than she did.

Savior? Such a mystifying thing only existed if he said so. That status would immediately disappear if she provoked him. When that happened, did he even need a reason to cut down someone who was not his savior?

Certainly not.

As all those thoughts played on Su Ye's mind, Su Qing approached her. He reached out to tug her sleeve again, his long hand caressing her clothes gently. His foxlike eyes narrowed, and he came closer, immediately picking up on her sweet scent again.

Ah, how fragrant…

His lips curved into an teasing smile. "Do you not intend to tell me your name, savior?"

Su Ye kept her back to him, forcing herself to hold her breath. "I-It's not important. It's late now… I-I should be getting home." The more she spoke, the more she stammered.

Su Qing raised a brow. Since he was so close to her, he could clearly tell how her behavior had changed. Just now, she could not even tear her eyes away from him, so why was she acting like she could not wait to escape now?

His smile broadened, and he tugged at her sleeve more firmly. "Oh, is that so?" The red spider lily mark at the corner of his eye became even more enchanting as he smiled.

After a while, Su Ye drily answered, "Yeah."

Even so, Su Qing held on to her sleeve and stepped forward to Su Ye's side, closing the distance between them.

He was so much taller than she was—she did not even reach his chin!
