After saying that, he turned to leave, but then he heard Zuan's voice behind him: "Wait, you let me go, but I haven't let you go yet. Give me back my wife!"

He knew that if Mi Li left like this, Chu Chuyan's remaining consciousness would soon be completely erased, and then she would truly be dead.

Mi Li turned around, a fierce look appearing between her brows: "Don't test my patience!"

Back then, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were harsh. As the empress, who was second only to the emperor, although she was not as cruel as Ying Zheng, she had long been accustomed to treating life as worthless. Even her trusted confidants who had followed her for many years and made great contributions would not hesitate to kill her if they angered her.

You know, Zu'an had "offended" her so much before, and under normal circumstances, even being slowly sliced ​​to death wouldn't have satisfied her hatred. Now, she was impressed by his strength and spared his life, but who knew he would be so ungrateful!

Qiao Xueying, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said, "Azu, you have done your best. If Miss Chu knew all this, she would definitely be very gratified. Don't insist anymore, it's pointless."

She knew how big the gap in strength between the two sides was. It was already a miracle that Zuan had stood up countless times, but people will eventually die. Moreover, he couldn't do anything to Mi Li, so what was the point of continuing?

Zuan shook his head and said, word by word, "That's my wife. We just consummated our marriage. How can I just stand by and watch her die like this, without knowing why?"

"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish." Mi Li felt a surge of irritation. Born into royalty, and with her past with Ying Zheng, she had never believed in love. But this scene before her seemed to shake her long-held beliefs. Why could other women obtain what she couldn't so easily?

Since that's the case, then let's destroy it ourselves.

She appeared before Zu An almost instantly. Zu An hurriedly drew his sword, but his injuries were so severe that even with the Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing constantly repairing him, he could only barely stand up. Wielding a sword was now a luxury.

With a flick of her finger, Mi Li sent Tai'a, which had been in her hand, flying more than ten feet away and embedding itself deeply in the ground.

Then her hand gripped his neck, her long nails digging slightly into his skin, the blood seeping out staining her slender white fingers a bewitching red.

She said coldly, "I don't understand why you've never died. Maybe you have some special skills, maybe you're from a special race, but even undead creatures have their weak points on their heads."

"I've been holding back just now. Although I knew this, I didn't try to get to the bottom of it. But you're going to refuse a polite offer and have to suffer the consequences. Don't blame me for that."

"I refuse to believe you'll survive if I take your head off!"

Zuan was also curious about this. If the other party really tried to twist his head off, would the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" still work?

If possible, how would it work to reconnect his severed head to his body?

But what if the other person smashes my head into pieces like a watermelon? Can I still come back to life?

Upon realizing this, Zu An's expression immediately turned ugly.

Noticing the momentary weakness in his eyes, Mi Li sneered and was about to twist his head off completely when she suddenly froze and her hand stopped instantly.

"Azu, kill me now!"

The ruthlessness and arrogance in Mi Li's eyes had vanished, replaced by Chu Chuyan's refined and elegant temperament, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zuan was overjoyed: "Wife, you've recovered?"

"I've only temporarily regained control of my body. I can't hold on much longer. Kill me!" Chu Chuyan said quickly. She had always been a proud person, and how could she allow her body to be taken over by another woman?

The thought of that woman using her body with who knows what kind of man in the future sent chills down her spine. She would rather die than see that happen.

Zu An hesitated. Although he was seriously injured, Chu Chuyan had completely let down her guard at this moment. He could kill her, but how could he bring himself to do it?

If he could truly accept her death, then what was the point of his persistence for so long?

"Hurry up~" Chu Chuyan's eyes were filled with anxiety and pleading.

Zuan's expression was uncertain. Rationally, he knew what the best choice was, but how could he remain rational in this situation?

In that moment of hesitation, the woman opposite her regained Mi Li's unique aura: "You lowly woman, how dare you defy me!"

"In my eyes, you are just a despicable woman!" Chu Chuyan's eyes regained their clarity.

Watching the two people's eyes shift and change, the same person with the same face, yet speaking in completely different tones, the feeling was extremely eerie.

Zuan knew he could no longer hesitate, so he reached out and took the Tai'a sword in his hand, placing the tip against Chu Chuyan's heart. With just a gentle push, he could kill her.

Seemingly knowing that he was reluctant to do it, Chu Chuyan gritted her teeth, raised her left hand, grasped the sword tip, and thrust it towards her heart.

Today I went to several hospitals again. First, I finally got yesterday's CT scan results after 24 hours, then waited in line for over an hour for a follow-up appointment. The doctor looked at me for half a minute and immediately ordered a colonoscopy. Because the hospital was so crowded, the earliest appointment was next Tuesday, and the colonoscopy itself was a hassle. Reluctantly, I had to go to another hospital, register, get medication, and finally get an appointment for tomorrow through connections. Tonight I also need to find accommodation for my parents near the hospital so they don't have to travel so far. I just got back and wrote this chapter; I really hope you can understand. I'll make up for the missed chapters later.
