The moment Ming Sitao saw Chi Yi, he was completely dumbfounded.
Chi Yi!
Wasn't she dead?
Even if he were to transform into a vengeful ghost, he could still use "ghost wall" to keep him outside the Ming family's ancestral home...
But now, how come she was able to enter and leave the Ming family home unharmed, and even went directly into the armory!
It's...it's Ming Sijin!
He knew the armory's codes.
He knew about the deal between the Ming family and Cupid.
It was Chi Yi who was found by Ming Sijin.
Ming Sijin deliberately tried to ruin him!!!
Ming Sitao grew angrier the more he thought about it, grinding his teeth so hard he wanted to tear Sijin to pieces right now.
However, the divine power that he had painstakingly acquired had already been stolen by Ming Sijin.
With his current human body, he is completely unable to resist.
Left with no other choice, Ming Sitao could only make a request to Chi Yi.
He looked up, forced out two tears, and pitifully gazed at the girl in the wedding dress, a lie flowing effortlessly from his lips.
"Yiyi, you've misunderstood! I love you. I didn't put the heart in; it was... Tao Yiting who forced me. You know, Tao Yiting has the scepter of Cupid, and I had no choice..."
"Yiyi, I really miss you. After all, we've been friends for over ten years, how could I possibly..."
"Yes, more than ten years."
Chi Yi's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes, falling silently like beads from a broken string: "More than ten years! Ming Sitao, you've been lying to me all this time!"
“You were just a child bride chosen to meet the needs of your family; you had no feelings for me.”
"Later, you thought I loved you so deeply, so you continued to lie to me, wanting to sacrifice my heart."
"And then, for the sake of Cupid's scepter, you will not hesitate to abandon me and be with Tao Yiting!"
Ming Sitao felt guilty, but he still had to continue coaxing her: "How could that be? Yiyi, I love you..."
"Love me? Then tell me, who are Lin Yuling, Han Qianqian, and Zhao Mingfei? Why are their hearts, like mine, displayed in the 'Sacrifice for Love' showcase?!"
Lin Yuling is the daughter of Boss Lin.
Upon hearing this, Boss Lin's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed towards the display case without regard for anything else.
Seeing that heart labeled with Lin Yuling's name, I felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.
That was his daughter whom he had raised for nineteen years, and she was his only source of emotional support after his wife passed away!
How could it have ended like this...?
Overwhelmed by the blow, Mr. Lin, whose hair was now completely white, knelt on the ground and wept uncontrollably.
The voice was mournful, and the more you listened, the more heartbroken you became.
Seeing this, the others rushed to the display case in front of the statue, frantically searching for their child's heart.
Soon, cries of grief mixed with curses erupted: "My poor child! Ming Sitao deserves to be torn apart by knives and boiled in oil, he deserves to die a thousand deaths!!"
"Ming Sitao! We trusted you and treated you like royalty, even though we were paying you money. If I had known this would happen, I would have rather been bitten to death by the monsters of the Misty Forest than set foot in your Ming family!"
Some even flew into a rage, grabbing a magically imbued steel knife from a display case and charging at Ming Sitao like a madman: "I'm going to take Ming Sitao's heart's blood to save my child!!!"
One person took the lead, and immediately more than twenty people followed.
Seeing this, Ming Sitao, who had just been clamoring to break free from Sijin, suddenly quieted down.
He cowered behind Si Jin, pleading humbly.
"Ming Sijin, don't let go! You absolutely mustn't let go! If I fall into their hands, I'm dead!"
"I see."
The kind-hearted deity Peach Blossom's eyes flickered slightly, and she actually began to think seriously.
Ming Sitao felt a glimmer of hope and continued to make empty promises: "Sijin, Jinjin, you protect me, and after I'm safe, I'll take you to become an angel... Ahh!"
But before he could finish speaking, Si Jin ruthlessly pushed him into the enraged crowd.
In his utter terror, Ming Sitao heard Si Jin's insincere apology.
"I'm sorry, I meant to pull it back, but I pushed it in the wrong direction."
Do you...believe it?
