Baili Yuechan's ordinary dress had long since lost its former noble princess demeanor under Dongfang Yifei's ravaging.
"What? Still thinking about Bei Ming Haotian? You and Wu Gu Zi have become homeless dogs. It must be hard to bear not being able to go home! I haven't settled the score with you two for plotting to kill Yan'er behind my back. However, it was because of your actions that Baili Jun Ao had the opportunity to reap the benefits and became the emperor of the Qihe Dynasty in just four months. It's clear that he had been preparing in secret for many years, and he even issued a warrant for your arrest throughout the world. It seems that you and Wu Gu Zi are not as powerful as people say."
Dongfang Yifei sneered, each word filled with cruelty. The pain of losing Nangong Ziyan had almost driven him to madness, and even Wuguzi and Ximen Qingtian were completely suppressed by him.
"Dongfang Yifei, just kill me! Are you happy to torture me like this every day?"
Baili Yuechan glared at Dongfang Yifei with hatred. The only wrong path she had ever taken in her life was meeting this bastard, Dongfang Yifei.
"It wouldn't be fun if you died. If you died, who would I play with to make me suffer the pain of losing Yan'er? Only by tormenting you every day and seeing you in such a miserable state can I feel any relief. You shouldn't have forgotten what I told you before. Didn't I tell you that you could play around as you pleased, but you couldn't hurt Yan'er? But you actually let Yan'er be poisoned by the love potion and fall off a cliff, her life hanging in the balance. Tell me, isn't it too easy for you to die like this?"
Dongfang Yifei was extremely excited. Now, his murderous aura was even stronger than before, making people only dare to look at him from afar and not dare to approach him.
"Dongfang Yifei, you're not human! How dare you treat me like this? I'm a woman too, with the right to pursue my own happiness. Even though you torment me every day, I don't regret the brief moments of happiness I shared with Beiming Haotian. But what about you? You're even more pitiful than me. Nangong Ziyan didn't give you any chance to even think about her. I don't know why you all love that stupid, ugly girl, but I know that as long as she's around, I feel like I can't breathe. Now that she's dead, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Why didn't I kill her? Only when Nangong Ziyan is dead can I breathe freely and live comfortably."
Baili Yuechan's words were full of sarcasm and mockery. The more pain Dongfang Yifei was in, the happier she became. The physical pain could not compare to the joy in her heart.
"Shut up! Where is Yan'er ugly? You're just jealous of Yan'er's freshness and liveliness! Yan'er has a cheerful and kind personality. Behind her warm and lovely expression, there is always a mysterious and unforgettable quality. How can you compare to her? You think you have an amazing beauty, but in my heart, you are so vulgar that I find you boring. I can't even feel a little bit of pity for you. And you're still pretending to be high and mighty here. Baili Yuechan, let me tell you, I will slowly torture you to death. I will make you know what it means to wish you were dead."
Dongfang Yifei shoved Baili Yuechan to the ground, got up and left in a huff.
"Waaah...!" Baili Yuechan lowered her head in anguish. How could she, Baili Yuechan, the most noble princess of the Qihe Dynasty, have become like this? Isn't it said that behind every successful man, there is a woman who guides him? But she, Baili Yuechan, is truly a failure, completely under Dongfang Yifei's thumb.
Day after day, year after year, everything changes, but the longing in people's hearts grows deeper and deeper. Some sigh to the moon, while others shed tears in the wind. Some yearn with longing eyes, while others have had their original colors washed away by the years. Though separated by vast distances, their hearts remain united...
Five years later, in Youdu City of the Netherworld Continent, the streets were bustling with people. The sounds of buying and selling, bargaining, and laughter proclaimed the prosperity and tranquility of the place.
At a restaurant called Guiyun Pavilion, it was lunchtime and the restaurant was packed. There was a constant stream of noise and calls for food to be served.
"Hey! Have you heard? In three days, the Demon Lord and the City Lord of the East will have a showdown in the Drunken Flute Forest! Should we go and watch...?"
"Are you out of your mind? With their cultivation level, they could kill us with the flick of a finger. I haven't even married and had children yet. I don't want to go to the underworld so soon."
A voice of discontent, tinged with fear.
"Hey! You're such a coward. With the Demon Lord here, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, hasn't Dongfang Yifei been fighting against our Demon Lord all these years? It's been five years, and he hasn't accomplished anything significant. Even the Qihe Dynasty has submitted to the Netherworld Continent. With just the Eastern Continent, the Western Sea Continent, and a few insignificant islands that he's subdued, how can they be a match for the Demon Lord? Ah! This is a competition that only happens once every few lifetimes. If you don't go see it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
The man who had just spoken offered another piece of advice.
Sitting next to them and at the table were three people, one adult and two children.
A woman dressed in white, with pale pink floral patterns embroidered on her wide robe, sat quietly with her face covered by a mask. She simply sat there, her fresh and charming appearance making her seem like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, occasionally eating her food with elegance.
On her left and right sat two adorable children, about four or five years old. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be twins, a boy and a girl, who had clearly heard what was being said at the next table.
The masked woman trembled involuntarily when she heard the names Demon Lord and Dongfang Yifei.
The little boy next to her glanced at her quickly, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.
