"Oh dear, the stab missed!" Ziye exclaimed in surprise, then laughed after a moment, "Oh, no, it didn't miss. I forgot, you don't have a heart."
Upon hearing this, I felt like I was about to choke on my own blood. I was so incredibly stupid.
"Why? Why?"
At midnight, I raised my hand and pulled the sword back, and blood gushed out of my chest like a spring.
Ziye took two steps back, shook his clothes, and said, "You almost got my clothes dirty."
Ziye held the slender sword again, gesturing as if choosing where to stab next.
Ziye gestured and chuckled, saying, "With you here, how can Lady Feiyan feel at ease being your servant?"
I suddenly realized, so that's how it is.
If I disappear, will Fei Yan be me forever?
I was so stupid, so stupid.
If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would never trust someone so easily again.
The next sword strike at midnight aimed straight for my brow. I instinctively closed my eyes, and suddenly heard a sound like steel breaking. The pain I had imagined did not come.
What happened? I opened my eyes and saw that Ziye, who had been so arrogant in front of me just moments before, was now lying stiffly on the ground, his brow blackened, and his icy blue longsword broken in two and scattered on the ground.
This is?
I looked up abruptly and gasped. The person in front of me was even more shocked than when I first learned that Fei Yan was going to kill me.
The man in the air was dressed in black, with skin as white as snow, and jet-black hair that fluttered in the wind. His brows were furious, and he glared at me angrily. His thin, scarlet lips were tightly pursed, and his narrow eyes were filled with overwhelming rage.
My body began to tremble uncontrollably, even more so than when Ziye was about to kill me.
I knew I was finished; Liu Lieyu would never let me go.
Liu Lieyu's dark eyes were fixed on me, and he approached me step by step with a furious rage that seemed capable of destroying the world.
My palms were sweaty and my back was covered in cold sweat. It was like going from one tiger's den to another. I just wondered when Liu Lieyu would find out.
Liu Lieyu walked up to me and squatted down. He grabbed my chin with one hand, his two fingers as hard as cast iron, making it difficult to break free. He held my chin firmly, causing me excruciating pain.
Liu Lieyu's slender eyes scrutinized me, and his lips parted slightly, "You'd rather abandon your own heart than stay by my side?"
I bit my lip, not knowing how to argue. The situation was already beyond repair, and besides, You was dead. I had no attachment to this world left.
I lowered my eyes and remained silent. If Liu Lieyu hates me and wants to kill me, then let him kill me. Maybe I can still catch up with You.
"Hmm?" Liu Lieyu snorted softly, increasing the pressure on his hand. I could almost hear the cracking of my jawbone. "Weren't you quite talkative before? Why are you so quiet now?"
I kept my eyes closed and didn't look at Liu Lieyu or say anything. Liu Lieyu seemed to get angry and slapped me across the face. I was knocked to the ground and my head was buzzing.
Before I could react, Liu Lieyu grabbed my hair, pulled me up from the ground, and made me face her. My face burned with pain, and my scalp was being pulled so hard it hurt terribly.
"Say something!" Liu Lieyu roared. "Didn't you promise me you'd leave me? Huh? Have you forgotten what you said?"
I forced my eyes open and calmly looked at the furious Liu Lieyu. "I was lying to you. Just kill me."
Liu Lieyu was taken aback. He released his grip on my hair, then grabbed my neck again, his eyes red as he stared at me intently. "You think I wouldn't dare?"
I lowered my eyes, and I could feel Liu Lieyu's hands, which were gripping my neck, trembling uncontrollably.
Liu Lieyu's red eyes and bulging veins on his forehead made you think he was about to send you to your death, but his hand kept gripping my neck without tightening.
Liu Lieyu's arms around my neck tightened, his eyes reddened, and he actually cried, "Why, why?"
I desperately wanted to tell Liu Lieyu that because I am no longer the original Nv Xin, I will not love you. However, Liu Lieyu's grip tightened, pressing firmly against my throat, preventing me from speaking.
I can breathe less and less air. I close my eyes and have no desire to struggle. Maybe I'm going to die soon. You, wait for me.
Liu Lieyu's hand, which was gripping my neck, suddenly loosened. My body went limp and I collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. I looked at Liu Lieyu in disbelief. Could it be that Liu Lieyu couldn't bring himself to kill me even after all this?
Liu Lieyu looked at me coldly, the tears in the corners of his eyes had all disappeared, and only his slightly red eyes proved that he had indeed been crying.
What is it about Youyuan that makes you so obsessed with him?
I ignored Liu Lieyu. Now that things have been exposed, I don't want to keep playing along with him.
"What? Now you're too lazy to even put on an act for me?"
When did you find out about all this?
Liu Lieyu swept me into his arms and stroked my hair gently. "I knew from the beginning, Nvxin. I gave you a chance, and I even took you to see your parents. It seems you don't care about them at all."
My eyes flashed. So, taking me to see the two elderly people was a threat?
“Nu Xin, I’ve given you countless chances. I’ve given you whatever you want. You like freedom, and I can give you freedom. But why, why? What do I lack compared to You Yuan?” Liu Lieyu stroked my hair, rambling on and on. “It shouldn’t be like this. How could you like him? You should love me forever.”
"Why can't I like You? Why do I have to love you forever?!" I couldn't help but want to retort to Liu Lieyu.
When Liu Lieyu saw me speaking, he stopped holding my hair and instead turned my face to look at him. "Do you think I'm dirty?" Liu Lieyu's fair face smiled in a somewhat eerie way. "Your clean Youyuan isn't clean anymore."
Youdu is dead. Has Liu Lieyu gone mad?
Liu Lieyu's lips curled up, his eyebrows curved, and his eyes were strange. "You Yuan is a man of integrity, but his brothers are all involved in wine, women, money, and power."
"What are you going to say?" I had a bad feeling.
Liu Lieyu simply smiled, "I bestowed upon Youyuan 100 beautiful women, and guess what?"
I pinched my palm with my fingers and stared blankly at Liu Lieyu.
Liu Lieyu thought I was upset and burst into laughter.
"When did you bestow this upon me?" I suddenly asked.
"Just before I arrived, during our grand ceremony."
My hope seemed to have been rekindled. Could it be that You didn't actually die?
"Is You still in the palace?" I grabbed Liu Lieyu's clothes and hurriedly asked.
Seeing that I suddenly perked up, Liu Lieyu inexplicably went berserk again. He gripped my wrist tightly, a cold smile on his face. "Why do you get so energetic when you mention Youyuan? You were just looking half-dead a moment ago."
