She was an ordinary mortal, with no magic power and no cultivation.
On the day she put on her wedding dress, he plunged a knife into her chest.
She was forced to become his puppet and p...
the truth
After that, Aohen ignored Cangze and waited for Muhe to fully wake up before making any plans. Moreover, the war between the Qingyi clan and the demon realm had become increasingly intense recently. If they were to fight against the ghost realm now, the demon realm would likely be in turmoil.
Wang Xiaoxia drugged Muhe the first time she met Cui Heng in his room, so she has been in a daze ever since. Overuse of hallucinogenic drugs can make people feel disoriented, and the image of Wang Xiaoxia and Cui Heng entwined in Muhe's dreams has been tormenting her, causing her great pain.
Aohen has yet to dissolve the marriage between Muhe and Cangze. Although Cangze is not often in the demon realm, he is still the son-in-law of the demon realm, so his status has not been affected. This has forced Wang Xiaoxia to stop Muhe's medicine. Since Aohen can't bring himself to solve the problem, let Muhe solve it herself!
As Wang Xiaoxia's belly grew larger day by day, the Bad Guy finally realized that she might really be pregnant. He sat in a chair in the room, his face grim, his gaze fixed on her slightly protruding belly, and asked in a low voice:
"Whose child is this?"
Wang Xiaoxia had not shared a room with Aohun these past few days, so the child must not be Aohun's. The Bad Guy had a guess in his mind, but he did not want that guess to be true.
"Cui Heng's," Wang Xiaoxia said truthfully.
She lowered her head and gently stroked her lower abdomen. Now the little one could occasionally move inside. Although the movement was slight, she could feel it, and the feeling was very wonderful.
The villain was so angry that his face turned green. He thought about how he had waited for her for so long and gone to so much trouble, and yet she was pregnant!
"You love him?" the Bad Guy asked with a sullen face, his tone carrying a hint of jealousy and resentment.
"I love him," Wang Xiaoxia said bluntly. She looked up at the Bad Guys and said firmly:
"I love him more than anyone else."
The scoundrel was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. She was already pregnant; what could he do?
“But he is a man of Wu Huan,” the Bad Guy reminded him, raising his eyes with a hint of heartache in them. She and Cui Heng would not have a good ending.
"I know, I just couldn't control myself," Wang Xiaoxia said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
She looked out the window, paused, then, remembering her situation, her face darkened, and she said:
"Sichen, if one day I die..."
"You can't die," the villain interrupted abruptly.
Wang Xiaoxia ignored him and continued speaking to himself:
“I should have died long ago. I’m already lucky to have lived so many more years. I consider this child a blessing from heaven. If I die, Sichen, can you take care of this child for me?”
After Wang Xiaoxia finished speaking, he looked at the Bad Guys, but the Bad Guys remained silent.
“I have no one else to rely on. Wang Yue will be leaving in two years, and you will be all I have left,” Wang Xiaoxia said again.
Her eyes were pleading, and the villain finally sighed as he looked at her.
"Xiaoxia, you know I love you," the Bad Guy confessed for the first time.
Wang Xiaoxia was taken aback. She had never imagined that the Bad Guys had such feelings for her. She only knew that the Bad Guys treated her differently from others, and she thought it was because of her mother. She thought that he had always loved her mother.
Seeing her bewildered expression, the villain could only sigh helplessly again; it was too late to say anything now.
"Little one, you must live no matter what. I will treat this child as mine," he said solemnly.
Wang Xiaoxia smiled with relief. She had always trusted the Bad Guy as much as she trusted her own mother, so she felt at ease entrusting her child to him.
Mu He woke up one morning, and coincidentally, neither Cang Ze nor Ao Hen were by her side. The whole house was quiet except for Wang Xiaoxia sitting in her room watching her. She opened her eyes, suddenly raised her head, glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoxia, and cursed, "Witch!"
She tried to shout, but her body felt weak and powerless, and her head, which she had just raised, slammed back down.
Wang Xiaoxia, however, sat calmly in front of her and only said:
"You're awake. Do you remember what you saw?"
"Witch! You seduced my brother!" Mu He cursed viciously.
Wang Xiaoxia, however, remained unfazed and continued speaking:
"Do you know whose child is in my womb? It is not your incompetent father's, but Cui Heng's, your beloved elder brother."
"You shameless couple!"
Mu He cursed and reached out to hit him in anger, but Wang Xiaoxia struck her old wound with a backhand, causing her to vomit blood again.
"Don't waste your energy. The Qingyi tribe is causing trouble on the border. Your father, Cui Heng, and Cang Ze are all in the previous dynasty discussing matters. Now it's just you and me here, and you are no match for me," Wang Xiao said calmly.
But Muhe wouldn't listen to her.
"Witch! Wait until I tell my father! He will tear you to pieces!" Mu He said through gritted teeth, her chest heaving violently with anger, her voice slightly breathless.
"Do you think your father still trusts you?" Wang Xiaoxia asked coldly.
Suddenly, Muhe fell silent. Recently, her father had been bewitched by this witch and wouldn't listen to anyone!
Wang Xiaoxia looked at Mu He with a contemptuous smile and then said:
"Do you know why you've been unable to conceive after being married to Cangze for so long? It's because he's afraid of the power of your demon race, so he's been secretly drugging you. You don't know this and just think it's your own problem, so you've been seeking out doctors everywhere. But, aren't the doctors you've found also his people?"
Muhe's eyes widened when she heard this. She had never imagined that the man her brother had found for her, the man who always said he loved her, would treat her like this.
"No, my brother said that Cangze is the only person I can entrust with anything besides him," Muhe said in disbelief.
She raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoxia, saying:
"It must be you, you vixen, who stirred things up! Once I recover, I'll make you wish you were never born!"
Wang Xiaoxia remained calm, and then spoke slowly and softly:
"It was not I who discovered this, but your father. However, for the sake of the peace of the demon race, your father has decided not to tell you about it."
"You're talking nonsense!" Mu He roared, but her chest jolted violently as she slapped herself, drawing blood again.
How could her father treat her like this? He was the father who had always doted on her since she was little!
"Then do you know why your real brother died?" Wang Xiaoxia asked again.
Mu He suddenly realized what she was about to say, and covered her head in anguish, only saying, "Don't say it!"
“A hundred years ago, the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan joined forces to search for the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Your brother found it. Cang Ze, in order to seize the position of Ghost King, stirred up trouble between the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan. So he sent Cui Heng to kill your brother and take his place. Think about it, who brought the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to the Demon Realm back then? And who wanted to use the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as a dowry for you to take to the Ghost Realm?” Wang Xiaoxia whispered in Mu He’s ear.
Each word was like a knife piercing Mu He's heart. No matter how she tried to block the sound, it still entered her ears unharmed. Over the years, she had suspected that Cui Heng was not her real brother, because he was too handsome. Her father could not have given birth to someone so handsome.
"Stop talking," Mu He's voice began to sound almost pleading; she didn't want to listen anymore.
“Cui Heng is not your brother, but the demon beast Bai Ze, and Cang Ze has known him for a long time,” Wang Xiaoxia continued, looking into Mu He’s eyes, knowing that Mu He would believe her.
Muhe must have seen those green eyes.
Muhe closed her eyes and covered her ears, shaking her head vigorously, as if not listening would make it all seem unreal. But those green eyes became clearer and clearer in her mind.
Wang Xiaoxia stood up, gently stroking her lower abdomen. She was beginning to resemble a mother, her waist unconsciously arching forward. She slowly turned around in the room and said:
"What does it feel like to fall in love with the person who killed your loved ones? Muhe, you should be ashamed of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she swaggered out of the room, leaving Muhe inside screaming hysterically. The incense by the bed was still burning, and it would turn into a nightmare and crawl into Muhe's dreams.
By the time Aohen and Cui Heng finished discussing the war, Mu He had already gotten up and left the room. She headed alone toward the Two Realms Cliff, where the wind was still icy cold, but she seemed oblivious to it as she staggered forward, blood still flowing from her chest. She left this bloodstain; if Cui Heng really was the demon beast Bai Ze, they would definitely find her by following the bloodstain.
When Aohen heard that Muhe had woken up, he rushed to her room to see her, but the room was empty and there was no one there. There were bloodstains dripping on the bed and the floor. Aohen immediately felt that something was wrong and hurriedly led Cangze and Cui Heng to follow the bloodstains.
The Demon King's Palace was not close to the Two Realms Cliff. Under Cui Heng's intentional or unintentional guidance, they finally arrived at the Two Realms Cliff, where Mu He stood waiting at the edge.
A year ago, Wang Xiaoxia was also waiting for Cui Heng at this very edge of the cliff. Now that it's Mu He, Cui Heng isn't as nervous.
"He'er! What are you doing! Come back quickly!" Aohen shouted anxiously when he saw Muhe from afar, fearing that Muhe might jump down again in a moment of despair.
He has already lost a son, he can't afford to lose a daughter too!
Mu He stood with her back to the Two Realms Cliff, watching them. The wind howled behind her as if eager to pull her in. She stood there looking at Cang Ze and Cui Heng. Compared to her anger towards Wang Xiaoxia, she hated Cang Ze, who had deceived her, and Cui Heng, who had killed her brother, even more. Yet, she had hopelessly fallen in love with her enemy! Tears streamed down her face, and the blood on her chest had already stained half of her clothes.
"Father, do you know that Cangze used abortion pills on me?" Muhe asked.
"You, you actually knew..." Aohen murmured, striding towards Muhe.
Seeing Aohen's expression, Muhe suddenly laughed. So her father really knew. So her father really abandoned her like a bargaining chip! Brother! Mother! I have let you down! Muhe smiled bitterly, turned around, and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.
