The sudden questioning shattered the atmosphere that Xiang Wan and the beauty had painstakingly created.
The beauty's face turned pale instantly, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
The greatest tragedy in the world is to love someone deeply but always be misunderstood, and to be unable to explain yourself despite having the means to do so.
In those days of passionate intimacy, even though Yan Ze was initially unwilling, when faced with a sincere and ardent heart, no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, her body always reacted in unexpected ways.
He only had one heart, which was forcibly squeezed in by Mingyan and filled to the brim.
Whether it's out of male pride or practical considerations, the one who bears the burden is destined to think much more than the other.
Mingyan only knew how to take, but never considered what would happen to him.
Having already made up his mind to sever all ties, his heart was now pierced by Mingyan's words, leaving it riddled with holes.
For the sake of the Celestial Clan, the Emperor sacrificed his mother; now, he must even give up his heart.
If he could, he would wish he were just an ordinary person, at least able to live as he pleased.
"Demon Lord, you flatter me."
The beauty lowered her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no emotion left; in her eyes was a pool of stagnant water that could not be dissolved.
Such a beauty seems to have lost her only radiance, making one feel extremely sorry for her.
Continuing to talk would only hurt each other and wouldn't do anything good for their relationship, so Xiang Wan started to kick people out.
"Mingyan, is everything alright in the Demon Realm? My beauty is tired and needs to rest. Would you mind calling a few maids? Oh, no need. Please leave now. We have something to discuss."
The beauty acquiesced, and Mingyan, finding the situation uninteresting, flicked his sleeve and disappeared.
The only advantage of this world is that you can disappear anytime, anywhere without having to go through the hassle of running around.
Xiang Wan led the beauty around the area, then brewed a pot of tea and sat in the pavilion to admire the night sky of the Demon Realm.
Even during the day, the sky in the Demon Realm is gray and gloomy, making people feel very depressed.
At night, countless stars twinkle in the sky, and shooting stars occasionally fall, creating a very poetic scene.
"My beauty, I used to see you gazing at the night sky all night long. Look, the night sky in the demon realm is much more beautiful than that in the mortal world."
The beautiful woman looked up at the sky, her profile a stunning sight, an unbelievable beauty.
"Little Fox, is there anyone you particularly hate?"
"Um?"
"That kind of hatred, the kind that makes you want to grind their bones to dust and eat their flesh alive."
"...No, I have never eaten raw meat since I was born, and I don't know how to hate."
She transmigrated into this world as a fox that hadn't been weaned. She hadn't experienced great joy or sorrow, nor had she experienced life or death separations, so how could she have such intense hatred?
If we're talking about love or liking, there is someone else besides a beautiful woman, or rather, the soul of a beautiful woman.
But she couldn't say those words.
The beauty probably doesn't want to hear it.
"Back then, he insisted on his own way, making my world revolve solely around him. I never knew what hatred was, but that time, I hated him so much that my soul ached."
He had nightmares every night, in which he was torn to pieces.
The beauty spoke casually, but Xiang Wan could sense the helplessness and hatred in her heart at that moment.
What kind of torment could drive such intense hatred in a woman of such a tranquil disposition?
"I thought that as long as he hated me, he would let go."
You would never imagine that when hatred reaches its extreme, it has seeped into your very bones, making it impossible to forget.
He tormented me while simultaneously trying his best to be good to me, leaving me in both pain and conflict.
One day, when I dreamed of him not being torn to pieces, but that he was dead, I suddenly felt hopeless. At that moment, I knew that I couldn't escape.
I watched helplessly as I fell into the web of love he had woven. Struggle, resistance, despair, and regret tormented me again and again, and pain was everywhere.
I couldn't forgive myself for that, so I chose suicide.
Xiang Wan was shocked. Just how domineering was Ming Yan? It had completely transformed the aloof and beautiful woman into someone who was no longer herself.
Xiang Wan couldn't understand the feelings involved; she could only feel sorry for such a beautiful woman.
"I thought that once I left the mortal world, I would never have any further contact with him."
But he didn't want to let go, and he kept appearing in front of me, reminding me of what he had done to me.
Every time he appears, the inner turmoil in my heart deepens.
When he stopped pestering her, her entanglement turned into longing.
Ha, how ridiculous!
Even I didn't expect that every time I see an injured animal, I would instinctively rush to help it, just like I had done so many times before.
The beauty gave a bitter smile, drank the tea in her cup in one gulp, then poured herself another cup, watching the steam rise, evaporate, and finally cool completely.
"He thought I didn't care. Ha, how could I not care?"
Every time I save a life, I feel like he's still by my side.
But I can't bring myself to say these words, and I don't know where to begin.
He has his responsibilities, and I have my obligations.
We are destined to be apart. Forcing it will only lead to a tragic fate, bringing disaster to all living beings. Why bother?
It was the first time Xiang Wan had heard a beautiful woman pour out her heart to her like this, and even though the person she was talking to wasn't her, her heart still pounded.
Looking at the beautiful woman, she doesn't seem like the type to fall in love passionately, but once she does, it's a love that runs deep and is unforgettable.
