Yu Xiyan took a few steps back, and after a long while shook her head and explained, "No, Shen Zhao, let me explain, it's not what you think. Actually, that night I..."
What she really wanted to say was that she wasn't drunk at all that night. She knew the person standing opposite her was Shen Zhao, and she genuinely wanted to be with him and completely forget Lin Feng.
But the emperor's arrogance and unusual behavior and words caused her to hurt the man she had relied on for twenty years once again.
Why is this happening?
"Heh..." Shen Zhao sneered, "The facts are right in front of you, what are you still trying to argue about?"
"Enough, Yu Xiyan. I don't want to bring up the past anymore. Now that we've been reborn, let's each live our own lives well, and preferably have no further connection with each other!"
Yu Xiyan's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks as she looked up and asked, "You really don't like me anymore, Shen Zhao?"
"How much more do you want me to like you?" Shen Zhao retorted. "My wife torments her husband time and time again for another man."
She even called out another man's name when she wanted to sleep with him, and she remained chaste for that man for over a decade. How can you still have the nerve to ask such a stupid question?
Yu Xiyan kept shaking her head: "Chen Zhao, it's not like that, can you let me explain?"
That night I did mistake you for Lin Feng, but if I really didn't care about you, why would I have gone to Po Jun Mansion to look for you?
That night, I actually woke up the moment you pushed me onto the bed. I knew it was you.
I had planned to give myself to you, to become a real husband and wife, but in the end you didn't touch me.
"You came to find me only because Lin Feng betrayed you! Don't try to fool me with such a ridiculous reason."
I'm not stupid, and I'm not a replacement for trash like Lin Feng. He's utterly disgusting.
"No, you are not a substitute for anyone, really, I have never thought of it that way!"
"Stop lying to yourself, okay?" Shen Zhao said, enunciating each word clearly. "The things you've done to hurt me go far beyond these. If I were to list them all out..."
I'm afraid we could talk for three days and three nights and still not finish, so can we please stop having so many entanglements in this life? I'm really scared of you anymore. Can't we just let each other go?
I've already done as you said, that we'll never be together again, and I've actively distanced myself from you. What more do you want? Do you want to drive me to my death again before you're satisfied?
"Shen Zhao, can you love me boldly just one more time? No one can stop us in this life. Lin Feng is already disgraced. We can definitely be happy..."
"You think our problems are only because of Lin Feng's appearance? Then how did you treat me before Lin Feng appeared?"
Since he was going to talk about it, Shen Zhao decided to explain everything clearly at once, otherwise he would definitely go crazy from holding it in.
"I have asked myself if I have done anything to wrong you or the Yintian Dynasty."
I've tried so hard to be a good husband, really, I've really tried my best.
"I heard you were exhausted from handling state affairs, so I secretly planted a jade-green begonia tree for you."
I wanted to surprise you on your wedding day; it will help calm your mind and enhance your understanding of the Dao.
"You said you like the black robe made of water spirit silk as casual wear, as it can improve your cultivation progress."
I personally went to the aquatic tribe in the southern borderlands, risking being poisoned and having my body explode without batting an eye, and successfully found you the Water Spirit Silkworm. I then asked the Weaver Girl to make a black robe for you and personally delivered it to you.”
"You said that the combat skills you've learned are too simplistic and unable to cope with future changes in combat situations."
So, risking being devoured by three thousand demonic beasts, I ventured alone into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, clearing a path through the deep valleys to retrieve the ten-thousand-year-old legacy of the Sword Sect, which I now offer to you.
"You said that the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land and other sects disrespected you. I did not hesitate to lead my army to destroy the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land, even at the cost of becoming an enemy of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty."
"you say……"
With each and every incident vivid in her mind, Yu Xiyan finally realized the extent of the price and suffering Shen Zhao had endured for her, far more than she had imagined.
"In short, whatever you ask for, I, Shen Zhao, will never utter a single word of refusal, regardless of whether I have the ability or not."
I would do everything I could to satisfy you. So, I ask you, no matter where I am, wouldn't I be considered a qualified husband?
After all, a husband should do everything in his power to get what his wife wants, that's only natural, right?
"So I ask myself, I haven't done anything to wrong you, and I've never expected anything in return from you."
But no matter what, you shouldn't use my things while treating me like a monster, right?
"But do you remember what you said to Lin Feng?"
If it weren't for this good-for-nothing showing off by bringing over a recording stone,
I never knew I was so pathetic and laughable in your eyes!
"You told Lin Feng that you felt as dirty as a prostitute in a brothel,
Every time you accept something from me, it feels like you're trying to please a ticket customer—it's disgusting.
Every time I meet your demands, it only makes you hate yourself more.
You hate your own incompetence, and you hate the smug look on my face when I gave so much.
I loathe myself for being so despicable, for disgracing the royal family!
"So this is how you see me? It's ridiculous that this is what you asked for, and I risked my life to get it for you, yet it's my fault?"
How can you accept my efforts so easily while doing so much to waste them?
Yu Xiyan, ask yourself honestly, is what you're doing fair to me?
"I know that you never liked me from the beginning, and I know that this marriage was not what you wanted."
