I never expected it would be for this reason.

Yin Wu laughed hoarsely, "An Xiuqi... are you sick? When Miss was young, if you had shown even the slightest concern, Mr. Nie wouldn't have dared to touch a single hair on her head. Wasn't everything permitted by you?"

"Enough with the talk, go to hell." As soon as the words fell, the purple light shattered Yin Wu.

Julie Pelosi sat in the snow, trembling, until the gaze shifted away and she realized she had been holding her breath and almost suffocated.

Perhaps touched by Yin Wu's last words, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at the ice coffin and said, "Get up quickly. You've been occupying her body for too long. If she comes out, she'll start cursing again."

Lan Yun calmly sat up, staring into those heterochromatic eyes, and asked, "Is Nie Kongsang your child with Jian Yao?"

"Pfft," An Xiuqi burst out laughing: "Are you out of your mind? Do I look a lot like her father?"

“I don’t know. You’re a monster. I first saw you more than 20 years ago when I was with Nie Qu. You looked to be in your early twenties. Many years later, you still look the same.”

“Sometimes I wonder if your age has far exceeded the limits of human beings. Nie Jingxing and Nie Kongsang are not my children. I only have one son, Ayan, and a daughter that I abandoned with my own hands.”

“But sometimes I get confused and feel like Nie Jingxing is my son. I know it’s Nie Qu who’s messing up my memories, but that doesn’t matter. I just need to stay by his side.”

"Look, I've developed immortality. I can almost stay young like you. If this body doesn't work, I can still use Jian Yao's body."

"Doesn't Nie Qu like her? Then I'll be Jian Yao from now on. I'll treat Nie Kongsang well. We'll be connected by blood and become true family. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me transfer!"

An Xiuqi scoffed: "Sorry, physical decay is decay, and the brainwave transfer thing was just something I said offhand."

Lan Yun's excited expression froze: "What did you say?"

"Do I need to repeat to you how you tormented Nie Kongsang? I've been thinking about how to make your love-struck brain suffer, and finally I had an idea."

"It seems like it would be good to fill you with hope and then plunge you into utter despair. Your brainwaves can't be shifted at all. Long-term use will grant you immortality. Your body may look fine on the surface, but it's already rotten inside."

"After you die, your flesh will rot, your bones will stink, and the beautiful figure you preserved for Nie Qu will be completely destroyed..."

Before the words could finish provoking her, Lan Yun went mad, jumping off the ice coffin and shouting angrily, "How dare you? How dare you?"

In her emotional state, her movements became violent, and a piece of flesh fell from Lan Yun's body. Lan Yun frantically tried to pick it up and press it back onto herself, but other pieces fell off as well.

An Xiuqi thoughtfully used light to create a mirror-like surface in front of Lan Yun, and then took out his phone to start screen recording: "Nie Qu isn't here, I need to record this for him. Ah, you can continue, we won't delay each other."

Lan Yun went mad, roaring and screaming wildly, unable to look directly at the mirror.

Yu Wei closed her eyes. Although she had never considered Lan Yun as her mother, she still didn't want to see this scene.

Lan Ye's brows furrowed, and he stepped forward, ready to kill Lan Yun. Even if she had done many wrong things, she was still his own sister. If she was going to die, so be it. But to torture her like this... he couldn't accept it.

As for whether taking action will anger this mysterious man named An Xiuqi, we'll have to wait and see.

Just as the bone wire probe was being probed, Lin Changli struck first, severing Lan Yun's head with a water jet.

"Enough. Stop using Sangsang's name to do things. You're not helping her get revenge; you're trying to balance your own conscience. You haven't protected Sangsang in the slightest, yet she has given you something you can hardly repay."

"So you can't stand it and desperately want to get something back, but not everything that's lost can be recovered. Sangsang doesn't have many memories of you, she didn't before and she won't in the future."

"All you can do is disappear silently, don't add to her burden, just be the An Xiuqi she can watch you die, and get out of her body."

An Xiuqi stood there with his eyes lowered, his phone fell to the ground, and he closed his eyes and fell backward.

Lin Changli quickly reached out and covered Kong Sang's eyes, giving Si Yu a look.

Jane Yao in the ice coffin had long since died, so apart from them and Julie Pello, there was no one left alive.

Si Yu began to set fire to the bodies to destroy the evidence, but there were too many corpses, so it would take a while.

Kong Sang regained consciousness and found herself in a familiar embrace, but what was the meaning of covering her eyes?

"Lin Changli, where are we? What's that smell... barbecue?"

"Hehe, Sangsang, you can't eat this meat. We fought with the other side, and there are too many corpses. Let Siyu clean it up. Don't look, it's an eyesore."

"A fight broke out. Was anyone injured?"

“We are all fine, but they were all wiped out. Yin Wu, Lan Yun, Nie Xi, Jian Yao... they are all dead.”

Kong Sang remained silent for a while, then nestled obediently in Lin Changli's arms, saying nothing more.

[Ai-Tong...are you there?]

There was silence; no one responded.

After tidying everything up, the group began to retreat. Lin Changli carried Kongsang the whole way until they were out of the snow before letting her open her eyes.

Nie Kongsang didn't see a single trace of that filth from beginning to end.

As a woman, Julie Perrot was envious of everything she saw. Nie Kongsang was very happy; no matter how much misfortune she experienced, meeting Lin Changli made her worthy of envy.

“I’m envious… How about trying it with me?” Lan Ye asked as she approached.

Julie Pelo looked at her strangely and said, "I'm on President Nie's side, standing against your Lan family. Have you also become love-struck?"

"If you're not a romantic at heart, you might be able to infiltrate our ranks. Of course, you can also fall in love while you're at it."

Julie Pelosi sneered, "Get lost, you bastard." He's so blatant about using her; he's really asking for it.

It's difficult to go in and make a trip, and it's not easy to come out either. MicroTrans lost a lot of manpower, but they all came back safe and sound.

The team needed to wrap up and rest, so Kongsang changed his clothes and sat alone outside the tent, lost in thought.

A person sat down next to him, and Kong Sang said without even moving his head, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. It's just that a few members of the Nie family died, and I feel a little... empty. I can't say I'm happy, nor can I say I'm sad."

It's like a heart filled with rotten pustules suddenly having a gap opened up; it feels a bit strange.

Lin Changli gently stroked Kong Sang's head and said teasingly, "That's not empty, it's a healed piece. I wonder if Miss would be so kind as to let me reserve it first?"

Kong Sang chuckled: "You think you can just leave like that? What do you have to offer as a reservation ticket?"

Blue eyes reappeared, and Lin Changli leaned down and licked her lips: "Sangsang, of course the pre-ordered tickets were made, you forgot... Tell them so I can have some fun."

Kong Sang's eyes gradually filled with terror: "No, I didn't say that."

Lin Changli took out his phone and played a loop: "Lin Changli... don't be like this. I acted impulsively just now. Let's go back and... okay? I can't take it anymore."

"But I still feel terrible."

"I'll let you have your fun when we get back, okay? Stop messing around, everyone's waiting."

"Have fun...Are you sure, Sangsang?"

"Yes, yes, let go of me."
