Nightmare gnashed his teeth and said, "Back then, I accidentally entered your territory and ended up in your dream. When you found out, you kicked me out and scolded me harshly. You deserve to die for insulting me like this!"
Qiongqi was bewildered when he heard this. He raised his hand to touch his chin, and after carefully recalling for a while, he nodded and said, "It seems to be the case, but... the situation is not what you imagined."
"Ha!" Qiongqi sneered and said mockingly: "You are still quibbling even now! What else can it be but this!"
"I will always remember the humiliation you inflicted on me! From that day on, I vowed to trample all of you, the bunch of scornful people, under my feet! I will be the overlord of this world!"
Wen Wan nodded thoughtfully and continued, "It just so happens that you found a technique that can absorb mana, so you pretended to be loyal and lurked beside Qiongqi, hoping to drain him dry. This way, he would die, and you could gain immense power."
"But... you also know that there's still the Qilin surviving in the world of the Auspicious Beasts. If you drain Qiongqi dry and then overthrow the human world, he will definitely come out to stop you. Moreover, his strength is on par with Qiongqi's. You have no chance of winning against him."
"That's why you gave up on this idea and continued to lurk around Qiongqi, trying to find an opportunity to instigate the two of them, letting them fight first, and then you would come out and reap the benefits."
"My guess should be correct, right?" Wen Wan said, raising her eyebrows at him.
"You're not stupid." Meng Ye didn't expect her to guess so accurately. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After making a casual comment, she continued, "That's right."
"They didn't actually meet very often, so I never had the chance to take action. It wasn't until he entered the human world and fell in love with a human woman that I finally had the chance to take action."
"You don't know how easy these people are to fool." He sneered and sighed, "Liang Yan's father has an incurable terminal illness and won't live much longer."
"I pretended to be a wandering Taoist priest and told him a few fortunes. After he completely believed me, I told him that his future son-in-law was actually a Qiongqi, and that a Qiongqi's heart could cure his illness."
"He immediately became happy and ordered Liang Yan to take out Qiongqi's heart on their wedding night when he was off guard to treat his illness, but... Liang Yan refused."
"She insisted that life and death are determined by fate, and that one shouldn't resort to devious means to prolong life. She would rather die than harm the one she loved, so her father locked her up."
When Qiongqi heard this, his eyes turned bloodshot, flashing with uncontrollable anger, and his teeth were chattering.
Nightmare was not afraid of this at all. He was going to die today anyway, so it would be nice to give his enemies some trouble before he died!
"After she was locked up, her parents and brothers took turns trying to persuade her, but she remained unmoved. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, I had no choice but to enter her dreams and seduce her."
"But her determination is stronger than that of an ordinary person. She dreamed about it for several days but didn't take the bait. I had no choice but to kill her and then get into her body to carry out the plan—"
"You fucking bastard!" Qiongqi yelled and interrupted him before he could finish listening. He gathered magic power in his right hand and raised his hand to hit him.
Wen Wan quickly stepped forward to stop him and said soothingly, "Calm down. He is definitely going to die, but not now. At least the truth should be made known to the world."
Qiongqi's clenched fist trembled a few times, but finally he let it go.
He lowered his head so deeply that his expression could not be seen, but the ground below him suddenly became wet.
He is crying.
This was Wenwan’s first reaction.
It is said that "men don't shed tears easily", but it seems that this is only true when they are not heartbroken. Even the toughest men will cry when they are really sad.
When she "died", her brother Zhou also cried and went crazy.
Fortunately, she was not really dead and everyone is fine.
But... the most innocent person in this matter from beginning to end was that girl who was neither humble nor talkative, gentle but principled. Her time was forever stuck on that day.
Even she couldn't help but feel a little sad, let alone Qiongqi, the person involved.
Qiongqi was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. He was so close to happiness, why... why did it turn out like this?
Anger swirled within him, like a boiler suddenly exploding under excessive pressure, instantly shattering his rationality. He raised his hand and slammed Nightmare, shouting, "How dare you... How dare you do such a thing!"
He acted too quickly this time. Before Wen Wan could react, Nightmare was already howling. However, your life was not in danger. You must have remembered the previous instructions.
After letting out a scream, Nightmare laughed wantonly for a long time, unrepentantly shifting the blame and saying, "Why wouldn't I dare? Why am I the only one to blame for her death? If you hadn't approached her, how could I have killed her?"
"And... didn't you realize it wasn't her who ripped your heart out? You've even been cruel to her for thousands of years. If it weren't for Wen Wan and the others, you'd still be kept in the dark. Do you call that loving her?"
"I——" Qiongqi subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little hatred, hating the injustice of heaven and the fate that played tricks on him.
At the beginning... he saw through the secret and rescued Liang Yan, but in the end he became another disaster for Liang Yan.
God, never let anyone go! What is supposed to happen will always happen!
Nightmare was right. Liang Yan’s tragic ending was closely related to him, and he also had a great responsibility!
Why...why hadn't he discovered it sooner? Why hadn't he recognized the person?
He hated his lover, slaughtered all the people in Qingshi City, fought with his best friend, and treated his enemy as his good subordinate. What on earth did he do?
He was deeply trapped in self-blame and couldn't get out of it no matter how hard he tried.
At this moment, Wen Wan suddenly spoke up and cursed Meng Yan, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. When people are too mean, they are invincible. You are truly the meanest bitch I have ever seen in this world."
"It's clearly your own fault, yet you're so quick to pass the buck! If there's a 'non-stick pan award' at the end of the year, it'll go to you! You've really mastered the victim-blaming theory! I don't know how someone as shameless as you could exist in the world!"
Nightmare was completely stunned by his words and couldn't say anything to refute for a long time.
Wen Wan sneered upon seeing this and continued arguing with him.
