Chapter 493 Separate and torment the couple!

Upon hearing the sound, Duan Rongshi immediately stopped his sword dance.

He turned around and stood there firmly, his tall figure fixed on the spot, his sword behind his back with one hand, letting her look him over.

Li Qingluo walked forward with an incredulous expression: "Ashi, is it really you?"

"How did you end up like this?"

"My God, what have you done to yourself?"

Although the face before her was still handsome, she simply couldn't get used to it compared to the stunning beauty that Li Qingluo had already etched into her heart.

How will she eat, sleep, and... embrace this complete stranger in the future?

Li Qinglu tiptoed, and when Duan Rongshi bent down slightly and brought his face closer, she quickly cupped his face and looked at it from all angles.

There wasn't a trace left.

"How exactly did they do that?"

"Is it a human skin mask from the Qin Mausoleum? Did you prepare this all along?"

"etc!"

"We used that monk's skin at Ningyuan Temple last time, so we can't have it prepared in advance, can we?"

"Did Qin Ling also come to Great Chu?"

Duan Rongshi: "He's afraid you'll kill him, so he doesn't dare show up."

"He just hangs out with the Free and Unfettered Sect all day long."

Therefore, the entire Xiaoyao Sect has now come to the Great Chu.

Li Qingluo was not surprised.

After Duan Rongshi, who was faking his death to reveal his true identity as Prince Su, was left with only the Xiaoyao Sect in the martial arts world.

Although we don't know exactly what his plan is, he will definitely return to the border after he has dealt with the affairs of the Great Chu.

Thinking of what Qin Ling and Li Yunchu had done to her, Li Qingluo smiled coldly: "He at least knows not to show his face in front of me."

Duan Rongshi: "Luo'er, I didn't kill him and his wife because they were still useful to me."

"And I will not discard him after he has served his purpose. Unless he does something disloyal to me again."

"But if you're unhappy, I can stop using him."

Li Qingluo: "So what do you plan to do? Will you let me do whatever I want with him?"

"Or perhaps, I must kill them?"

Duan Rongshi: "Okay."

"You decide on this matter."

Li Qingluo pursed her lips.

"Wouldn't that put you in an unjust and immoral position?"

Duan Rongshi stared into her eyes and said, "I was never a kind person to begin with, so I don't feel any pain or itch from having more infamy."

"I just want Luo'er to be free and unrestrained from now on, and for the two of us to no longer have misunderstandings and estrangement like before."

"I will no longer do things that Luo'er doesn't want or agree with."

"Compared to everything else, Luo'er, who will accompany me for the rest of my life, is the most important thing in the world."

Faced with his sudden, candid revelation, Li Qingluo's heart was deeply moved.

Before he completely fainted, the two of them did have a deep rift over the handling of the Zheng siblings, Zongzheng Wuheng, and others.

Later, before they could even finish their conversation, she had to leave for Miao territory because the Pei family had made a promise to the Wuyue Sect and she was in a coma.

Before she lost consciousness, she felt deeply disappointed and conflicted because of this incident.

She has regressed.

She also planned to end things there, go her separate ways, and never see him again.

However, to Li Qingluo's utter surprise, he would actually give up everything for her.

After years of planning, he finally managed to seize control of the imperial palace, Emperor Yan, and the entire Liang Dynasty.

He was only one step away from avenging his mother, and even from years of planning.

Whose life or death, or even their position, was probably determined by his word at that time.

But he resolutely gave up everything for her and personally sent her to Miao territory.

In order to find her, they searched high and low, even to the ends of the earth, for her lost soul, and eventually found her past life.

Human hearts are made of flesh.

After Li Qingluo woke up and remembered everything, she let go of those obsessions in her heart.

Therefore, at this moment, she also believed in his sincerity.

"Never mind."

“Let’s enslave him for a few years without paying him a monthly wage. Once he’s no longer useful, we can release him back to reunite with Li Yunchu.”

"Anyway, Li Yunchu can't run back from the frontier now, and she won't have a good life there, given how harsh and cold it is."

"Let's separate the couple and torment them; that will be their retribution and their fate!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, deliberately speaking with a malicious expression.

Speaking of Li Yunchu, although she is not a good person, she has a good husband who is not only devoted to her, but also deeply in love with her.

Moreover, the second and third wives abandoned her as their younger sister for their own interests, but when the second and third wives were in trouble, she still tried to find ways to get them out of trouble.

In this respect, she has done right by her family.

After hearing that Li Kechuan and his two companions had been burned to death in a cowshed on their way to exile, the second and third branches of the family, along with Li Chaojing and his group, were all rushed to the frontier.

Li Yunchu was also sent there by Duan Rongshi.

Qinling was left behind to work.

The couple were thus completely separated, and Qin Ling dared not speak out against his anger.

Who told him and Li Yunchu to commit an unforgivable mistake against Li Qingluo? If he didn't have the ability to disguise himself, he certainly wouldn't be alive today.

However, according to the story of the Ten Chapters, after Li Yunchu was sent to live with her two older brothers, her life was not very good.

The second and third families were sent to the place of exile precisely to share joys and sorrows.

Although the whole family was reunited, they had to abandon their relatively stable and wealthy life in Jinling. The money they spent on the journey to the frontier was more than the combined wealth of both families now.

Not only are they struggling financially now, but then Li Yunchu suddenly passed away.

They already had reservations about being targeted by the main branch of the family because of Li Yunchu's involvement, and yet Li Yunchu still dared to shamelessly show up.

Each additional person means an extra penny spent each day.

Therefore, Li Yunchu, having lost Qin Ling's protection, is now having a very difficult time living under the roof of her two older brothers.

Li Qinglu thought to herself: Then let them torment each other as a family.

Seeing her huffy and puffy appearance, Duan Rongshi was both amused and exasperated. He bent down and carefully pulled her into his arms.

"Luo'er, I was wrong before."

"We'll take things slowly from here on out."

Li Qinglu responded to his hug with a smile, saying, "Okay."

However, the two still did not consummate their marriage that night.

Li Qing angrily pounded the bed.

"What are you practicing your sword for in the middle of the night?"

"Duan Rongshi, are you really going to abandon me?"

"What exactly are you planning now?"

She even began to doubt herself.

Could it be that I can only be his confidante, and can never be his wife?

Is Li Qingluo's beauty truly worthless in his eyes?

Seeing that she was even looking distressed, Duan Rongshi quickly explained, "Luo'er, if nothing unexpected happens, shouldn't your period start tonight?"

Li Qingluo: ?

After careful calculation, she realized it really might happen tonight.

Her gestation period is always very accurate and rarely goes wrong.

She had completely forgotten about it tonight.

What surprised Li Qingluo even more was: "You, when did you remember such a trivial thing as my life?"
