"Hey, Li Muge." Shi Qianxuan originally thought that Li Muge's interest in the Demon Lord was just a passing fancy and not enough to pose a threat.
I never expected that Li Muge would value the Demon Lord so much. So what about him?
Back then, when Li Muge told him that she wanted to separate from him and have some peace and quiet, the arrogance of the Sword Venerable Clan made Shi Qianxuan unwilling to bow his head.
Unexpectedly, after nearly several hundred years of silence, Li Muge never contacted him again, and in the blink of an eye, she married Yun Qi, that good-for-nothing.
In order to retain his position as Demon Lord, he actually went so far as to marry a woman.
Li Muge dodged and, just as Yun Qi opened his mouth to sing another verse for her, promptly covered his mouth and cast a silencing spell.
"Alright, Demon Lord, stop going on and on. There are outsiders here. Can you please stop singing?"
I don't know what kind of epilepsy Yun Qi has been having these past few days.
If she's unhappy, she won't even speak properly anymore. If you try to argue with her, she'll naturally take it on without hesitation.
Who knew that Yun Qi would suddenly burst out with what he wanted to say, leaving Li Muge humiliated and wishing Yun Qi would fight her.
At least it resolves things efficiently.
"Ah, ah, Li..." Yun Qi's pupils constricted. Li Muge threatened fiercely, "Demon Lord, if you sing again, don't blame me for being disrespectful."
"Come, Demon Lord, I'm going to take you to see what's wrong with you today."
Li Muge suddenly grabbed Yun Qi's hand and turned to leave in the rain.
In the drizzling rain, Li Muge wore a red fitted gauze dress, while Yun Qi wore a light blue robe, which made him look even more like a celestial being, elegant and refined.
"Li Muge..." Shi Qianxuan called out to Li Muge, but Li Muge stubbornly led Yun Qi away.
She never looked back at him again.
In that instant, Shi Qianxuan felt as if he had lost something important.
___
The deceased You Zhengqing followed Fu Shanyue, watching her walk into a familiar courtyard, looking lost and distraught.
Fu Shanyue walked to the main hall, picked up a memorial tablet, knelt on the ground, and stuffed the paper money and ingots into the burning iron basin little by little.
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Wet Nurse, and all the uncles and aunts of the Fu family, today, Shan Yue has avenged you."
Fu Shanyue couldn't hold back her tears.
"But Mother, I should be happy that I've avenged you. That fat pig, the Fifth Prince, is dead, and I personally killed You Zhengqing, avenging you all. But, but..."
Fu Shanyue threw the paper money into the burning iron basin one by one: "Mother, but I sadly discovered that in this world, he is the only one who truly loves me."
“I killed him, but no one in the world cares about me. But I can’t not take revenge. Just thinking about how you all died at his hands makes me want to stay.”
"Lying in his arms, I felt like killing him."
You Zhengqing's ghost followed Fu Shanyue, listening to her recount those past events.
Overwhelmed with regret, he knelt on the ground and couldn't help but slap himself hard across the face.
It wasn't that he regretted killing the Fu family; his life was already stained with blood.
In his pursuit of fame and fortune, countless people have died at his hands.
But he hated…
She hated herself for ruining Fu Shanyue's wonderful life, causing her to suffer all kinds of bullying and end up in a brothel.
"Fu Shanyue, I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't know I would hurt you."
Ghosts don't shed tears.
If there were any, all that would be left is tears of blood.
Looking at the once bustling mansion, now resembling a haunted house, Fu Shanyue felt a surge of unease.
“Mother, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I fell in love with the enemy who killed our whole family. You Zhengqing may have a hundred faults, but he truly protected me at all costs.”
Fu Shanyue shed tears.
She knelt on the ground, kowtowing until her head bled. She hated You Zhengqing, but she hated herself even more. How could she fall in love with her enemy?
"Fu Shanyue, I'm sorry, but I'm the one who's wrong, not you." You Zhengqing wanted to stroke Fu Shanyue's face but stopped.
He thought that as long as he was there, he would definitely protect Fu Shanyue from harm, but...
When she was Fu Shanyue, he personally killed her entire family.
She is Yan Yue Shi.
He failed to protect her, resulting in her losing five fingers on her left hand.
It turns out that, after all the twists and turns, he was the one who was guilty.
Fu Shanyue looked back longingly at the dilapidated old Fu family house, where she held her most cherished childhood memories.
She has her beloved family members.
It also contains the nightmare she can never forget in her life.
Since no one in this world cares about her anymore, perhaps death is a relief for her.
"Mother, Father, wait for Yueyue, Yueyue will come to find you soon."
Fu Shanyue pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and her hair cascaded down.
The thunder above the old house grew louder and louder, and dark clouds covered the sky.
You Zhengqing seemed to understand Fu Shanyue's intention. He tried to snatch the hairpin from Fu Shanyue's hand, but his entire body passed right through Fu Shanyue's body.
"Fu Shanyue, you dare to die! You can't die! This is not your fault!" You Zhengqing roared almost frantically.
Fu Shanyue held the pointed end of the hairpin against her heart, the image in her mind being her first meeting with You Zhengqing in the brothel.
She had been in the brothel for five years and had seen all sorts of customers. They would sometimes get lustful towards her, put on clothes, and ridiculously act like upright gentlemen.
They despise and belittle them.
But You Zhengqing was different. Although he had chosen her, he saved her when she was being beaten by a customer.
In a brothel, no relationship is ever truly pure.
You Zhengqing took a liking to her not simply out of pity, but because he felt she had the means to bring him value.
She schemed and plotted to stay by You Zhengqing's side and slowly, gradually, win his heart.
The day that You Zhengqing falls in love with her will be the day he dies.
But…
Fu Shanyue's tears fell one by one, her heart aching so much she couldn't breathe. Why? Why did this happen?
Why is it that even though she has gotten her revenge, she should be happy, but why is her heart aching so badly?
Fu Shanyue gripped the hairpin tightly, raised it high, and her eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"No, you can't." You Zhengqing tried to stop him, but he was just a ghost and couldn't touch Fu Shanyue at all.
You Zhengqing fell to the ground in a sorry state, blood flowing from his chest, his face covered in blood, making him look extremely gruesome.
"Father, mother, brothers and sisters, wait for me, I'm coming to be with you. I only hope that when I reach the Yellow Springs or in the next life, I will never meet You Zhengqing again."
Fu Shanyue made up her mind, and when You Zhengqing heard Fu Shanyue's words, a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
Fu Shanyue truly hated her so much that she didn't want to see him again, even in the afterlife.
You Zhengqing felt like a fool, both pathetic and laughable. Falling in love could indeed lead to utter ruin.
