Chapter 465: Chapter 0465: If You’re Well, Spare Tire Till Old
Ye Xunhuan’s facial muscles twisted even more violently, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His expression was one of extreme pain, as if he was struggling against something.
In fact, at this moment, he was indeed struggling internally.
Ever since Ye Xunhuan’s master and brothers died tragically before his eyes, his body had developed a problem. If Ye Xunhuan engaged in activities beyond his usual physical tolerance, or if he killed too many people and got stimulated by the sight of blood, the malign energy in his heart would erupt completely, causing the central nervous system of his brain to go out of control!
This condition is known in psychology as post-traumatic stress disorder!
Those with such psychological trauma can live a life of brooding melancholy at best, or at worst, they may spend their days indulging in alcohol, narcotics, and other narcotics, eventually even showing suicidal tendencies.
Even more severe cases may find it impossible to adapt to a mundane post-war life and, soon after leaving the battlefield, could end up injuring others or committing homicide and be thrown into prison due to their violent behavior.
This kind of psychological trauma is incurable to this day.
But Ye Xunhuan knew in his heart that the symptoms he was suffering from were even more terrifying and horrifying than post-traumatic stress disorder!
Ye Xunhuan called his condition "mad demon"!
The mad demon Ye Xunhuan was invincible!
At the same time, when he fell into this state of madness, he would bring immense destructive power. His heart only contained an urge to kill and destroy.
It could be said that if Ye Xunhuan were to fall into madness, there would undoubtedly be rivers of blood.
It was precisely because he had been in such a mad demon state that Ye Xunhuan had annihilated Ying Mei.
No one could stop him!
Liu Qingcheng was very clear about Ye Xunhuan’s condition. She also knew that Ye Xunhuan needed to vent, both physically and emotionally. Otherwise, he would become a complete devil.
Once, Liu Qingcheng tried to knock Ye Xunhuan unconscious to calm him down, but she found that unless you knocked him out cold with a blow to make him fall into a coma, he would fall into an even more terrifying state!
And even if you did knock Ye Xunhuan unconscious, the next time he lashed out, it would be harder to control. Moreover, if you did knock him unconscious, he would fall into a deep coma, sometimes lasting two or three days!
During these two to three days, there must be someone by his side. Otherwise, if anyone wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, it would be effortless.
That’s why Liu Qingcheng had never seriously considered knocking Ye Xunhuan unconscious until now. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to but rather that she was worried, scared!
Moreover, since Ye Xunhuan came back to the city and married Qiu Ruoxi, his condition had never relapsed until now, which was completely the first time.
After he killed the last of Tengu’s men, Ye Xunhuan had started to lose himself and became the marshal who terrified the criminal underworld!
However, he relied on his terrifying willpower to suppress the malignancy in his heart, preventing it from erupting immediately.
But now he was close to exploding!
Just a little more stimulation, and Ye Xunhuan would become the marshal who left countless people in terror!
...
This was not the first time that Ye Xunhuan had experienced such a situation, and with each outburst, he became a little more dangerous and might fall into hell from which he could never escape!
Liu Qingcheng looked at Ye Xunhuan with a pained expression, gently stroking the scars on his body with her fair, jade-like fingers.
He was still so young; why did he have to turn into this?
Was this the price a powerful being had to pay?
Liu Qingcheng didn’t know, but she didn’t want Ye Xunhuan to be like this.
As time passed silently, Liu Qingcheng didn’t wake Ye Xunhuan but allowed him to lie on her.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xunhuan slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Liu Qingcheng beneath him, he immediately understood everything.
"Qingcheng, you..."
"You’re alright, that’s good," Liu Qingcheng said, looking at Ye Xunhuan with a tender face.
At that moment, there wasn’t the slightest hint of the Empress’s assertiveness in Liu Qingcheng. She was just a normal woman looking at the man she loved, her face filled with tenderness.
Hearing Liu Qingcheng’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s face was filled with an indescribable bitterness.
The first time he had been intimate with Liu Qingcheng was under such circumstances, back when he had overthrown Ying Mei. Nearly every time he was close to Liu Qingcheng, it was when Ye Xunhuan was not in his right mind.
It was as if Liu Qingcheng was nothing more than an outlet for Ye Xunhuan, bearing what she should not have to, yet she had never complained, never said anything.
She endured everything silently on her own.
Now that the situation had repeated itself, Ye Xunhuan felt an intense sense of guilt and unease.
"Qingcheng, don’t do this in the future!"
Liu Qingcheng smiled sweetly, "It’s okay. Don’t feel pressured; this is all voluntary on my part. Besides, Longzu Puti doesn’t know yet. If she did, she might feel like killing someone!"
Liu Qingcheng looked at Ye Xunhuan half-jokingly.
Ye Xunhuan opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Longzu Puti’s voice came through again, "Alright, you better go back now. Qiu Ruoxi is waiting for you!"
"I..."
"I’m fine, don’t worry. Have you forgotten? I am the Empress!"
With Liu Qingcheng’s urging, Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly and left.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan walked away, a profound bitterness surfaced on Liu Qingcheng’s lips, "Xunhuan, as long as you are well, I’m content to be the backup until the end!"
