"So you already knew. The torment of being poisoned by the love potion must have been unbearable! Being thrown off a cliff by Haotian must have felt like a living hell! But none of those pains can compare to the pain of you destroying me."
Baili Yuechan roared, her emotions somewhat out of control, her eyes brimming with smugness.
"Baili Yuechan, you are truly despicable. You know perfectly well that Haotian has no feelings for you at all, so why do you still dare to dream of having him?"
Nangong Ziyan remained calm. Although it was too late to say anything now, she was holding back her anger, and she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't speak it out.
"Nangong Ziyan, if it weren't for you, with my status, position, and beauty, Haotian wouldn't have looked down on me. The main problem is that beast Dongfang Yifei. When he turned his love for you into hatred, he vented all that hatred on me, making me, a princess of a nation, unable to return home and unable to love the one I love. Nangong Ziyan, it's all your fault, all your fault. You brought me this undeserved disaster, turning me, who was once invincible, into a pitiful creature living under someone else's roof."
Baili Yuechan rebuked Nangong Ziyan repeatedly, seemingly wanting to throw herself at her without a care in the world.
"Bai Li Yuechan, there is no doubt that all of this is your own fault."
Even though Baili Yuechan sees her as a thorn in her side, it's all her own fault. Throughout the whole affair, she didn't drag her into it for no reason. On the contrary, she brought it all upon herself.
The words "you brought it upon yourself" made Baili Yuechan freeze. Yes! If she hadn't gone to find Dongfang Yifei and provoked him, she wouldn't be in this predicament. If she hadn't fallen in love with Beiming Haotian, she wouldn't have been caught in a stalemate with Baili Jun'ao, allowing him to reap the benefits. She wouldn't have lost her noble princess status. But even so, all of this happened because of Nangong Ziyan. Without her, none of this would have happened.
"Nangong Ziyan, stop trying to deny it. Dongfang Yifei vented all his anger on me, ravaging me until I was neither human nor ghost. I once swore that I would not be human if I did not kill you."
Baili Yuechan was nearly driven mad, having long lost her former arrogance. She glared at Nangong Ziyan with fury, wishing she could tear her to pieces instantly.
"Baili Yuechan, do you think you can be as invincible as before? This time, I won't let you succeed. Do you think I'm still the same Nangong Ziyan as before?"
Nangong Ziyan glared angrily at Baili Yuechan. Having survived a great calamity and returned, she would not allow such villains to plot against her again. Furthermore, she would not let Yifei, who wanted to seize power, succeed.
"That's right! I forgot. It's been five years. Your cultivation has improved quite a bit. But with your current level of cultivation, you think you can fight me? Nangong Ziyan, aren't you being too arrogant?"
Baili Yuechan sneered. If she could kill her once, she could kill her a second time.
"Baili Yuechan, don't get too cocky. You had one chance to kill me, Nangong Ziyan, and I, Nangong Ziyan, will give you a second chance."
Nangong Ziyan's naturally cold and imposing aura made Baili Yuechan pause slightly, her eyes widening in surprise as she stared at Nangong Ziyan. Did she also possess this innate advantage? How rare indeed.
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."
Baili Yuechan smiled coldly. Hearing the commotion outside, she stopped arguing with Nangong Ziyan and turned to leave.
Before they even reached the door, they encountered Dongfang Yifei, who exuded a menacing aura.
Dongfang Yifei frowned when he saw Baili Yuechan and angrily rebuked her, "Did you come here so early in the morning to cause trouble for Yan'er?"
"Lord of the City, are you blind? If I were here to cause trouble, would Nangong Ziyan be standing there unharmed?"
Baili Yuechan, who was in a fit of anger, retorted angrily, since she was going to die either way, why should she lower herself?
"Get out!" The angry word "get out" revealed his impatience.
Baili Yuechan flicked her wide sleeves, turned around and gave Nangong Ziyan a strange smile before turning and leaving.
Nangong Ziyan looked up at Dongfang Yifei, whom she hadn't seen for five years. He was still dressed in black, but his handsome face was now arrogant and haughty, perhaps because his supreme status gave him a majestic aura.
"Yan'er, are you alright?"
When facing Nangong Ziyan, Dongfang Yifei had a smile on his face, spoke gently, and his tone was full of concern.
"Yifei, Ziyan is alright, but Ziyan doesn't understand why Yifei brought her here?"
Nangong Ziyan walked to the stool and sat down without making a sound.
"Yan'er, do you know that when I heard that you were still alive, I couldn't help but want to see you again? You were frightened last night. I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare food for you. Please sit down and wait for a while."
Dongfang Yifei sat down opposite her, his deep eyes fixed on her beautiful face.
"Yan'er, it's been five years. You've not only become more beautiful, but you've also changed a lot."
Dongfang Yifei praised her without reservation, his eyes following her.
“Yifei, people change. Take you for example. You used to be frivolous and pretentious, but now you seem to be a real man.”
That's definitely the first impression he gives women.
"For Yan'er to say these words, it truly makes all the suffering worthwhile. I just want to prove to Yan'er that everything Bei Ming Haotian can give her, I, Dongfang Yifei, can also give her. Yan'er, please never leave me again, okay?"
Dongfang Yifei looked at her with deep affection. This time, he would not let her get hurt again. He would love her for the rest of his life, carrying the guilt from his past life.
