"Your Majesty chose to be on her side from that time on, and I naturally saw Your Majesty's feelings for her. But I really didn't expect that she would be able to survive such a powerful attack from a beast soul!"
Situ Xue suddenly burst out laughing, "Since Your Majesty has accurately predicted that Mo Shisheng was a scheme of mine, then Your Majesty should accept the facts. She has now been burned to ashes and has no place to be buried, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiao slowly raised his eyes to look at her, the light in his eyes suddenly becoming deep. He slowly stood up from his seat and walked step by step towards the bedside.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Why do you look so pale? Could it be that you were angered by what I said?"
Situ Xue was constantly testing the limits of her own power. As Nan Xiao walked towards her, a faint smile appeared on her pale face, but her eyes held a hint of mockery. "Even if Your Majesty is angry, it won't help. In fact, the fire started yesterday afternoon, but I kept the news from you, so Your Majesty only found out today."
Nanxiao walked extremely slowly, yet each step felt like stepping on the tip of death's blade.
"Your Majesty, please do not deceive yourself. My side hall was burned beyond recognition. Not to mention a person, even a living person, was burned to ashes in the fire long ago, Your Majesty."
Situ Xue became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally burst into laughter twice, "Since Your Majesty says that Mo Shisheng is Shangguan Yan, my wish of so many years can finally be... uh..."
Before Situ Xue could utter these words, her throat was choked, making it extremely difficult for her to speak.
Nan Xiao used tremendous force, as if he wanted Situ Xue to die here.
"Your Majesty... even if... I were to die... here... Mo Shisheng would not live on!"
Upon hearing this, just as Nan Xiao was about to increase the pressure on his hand, a clear, slightly childish voice came from outside the palace door, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Suddenly, Nan Xiao loosened his grip a little, and Situ Xue's face turned deathly pale after recognizing the owner of the voice, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Situ Xue recalled the fear she felt when she waited outside Yunwu Ridge for a whole day only to see Mo Shisheng walk out unharmed—a memory she could never erase.
...
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
This is exactly what Mo Shisheng said when he came out of Cloud Mist Ridge...
The difference was that her voice, which had been languid and soft before, now carried a natural arrogance and domineering air as it came from behind. Everyone present was startled and turned to look at the newcomer.
The person she thought was going to die in Cloud Mist Ridge was now standing alive and well before her. Her face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Mo Shisheng, her lips trembling slightly, "You...you..."
"You get so excited just seeing me?"
Mo Shisheng slowly walked towards Situ Xue, a faint smile playing on her soft, crimson lips, but her eyes were icy cold. "If I heard correctly, you wanted me to be eaten alive in Cloud Mist Ridge, leaving not even a bone fragment? Are you disappointed that I've appeared here now?"
"You're still alive?" Situ Xue's eyes widened, a flash of malice crossing her gaze. "Shangguan Yan, your wretched life is really long, isn't it? You still haven't died?"
