"Hahahaha!" Dugu Feng's deep, dark eyes flashed with admiration, as if Yi Guang's answer was extremely brilliant to him.
He laughed so loudly that he couldn't help but cough, his face turning bright red, and he almost fainted from holding it in.
Yiguang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his forehead. "Did I make something funny?"
"Good, that's funny!" This was the funniest joke I'd ever heard, Dugu Feng replied. Unfortunately, he had a hard time speaking and couldn't utter a complete sentence, so he could only express his meaning with the most concise words.
Yiguang lowered his head and smiled again.
Dugu Feng's gaze lingered on her face with infatuation. It was that smile, that smile so similar to that of that woman, that drove him mad.
There was a time when he too had been so obsessed with longing for such a smile, but alas, it never came. All he ever received was that woman's contempt and indifference. Even when he stumbled at her feet, she would still walk past him as if nothing had happened.
He knew from a young age that he was not welcome by that woman, even if the woman who took care of him whipped him severely, she could still turn a blind eye.
That's truly amazing!
Dugu Feng closed her eyes, not daring to recall the past.
Yi Guang said softly, "You really aren't afraid of death!"
The voice was full of praise, as if commending a child for being brave.
Dugu Feng felt a moment of joy and pride, as if being praised by her was a great honor.
To die?
He was not afraid!
The first person he killed was the woman who cared for him; he pierced her heart with a knife.
Instead of scolding him, his father said he had the demeanor of an emperor.
However, he was not happy at that time because of the woman's gaze.
He didn't miss the look of disgust in the woman's cold eyes.
That gaze gave him nightmares.
He wanted to ask, if you don't love me, why did you bring me into this world?
However, he stopped asking later, because he learned that it was not her wish to give birth to him, but his father's wish.
Later, he became a murderer and a tormentor. The breakdown of others brought him unexpected joy and satisfaction. Most importantly, he was overjoyed to see her eyes fluctuate with emotion because of his actions.
It turns out she wasn't a block of wood; she had emotions too.
Later, she died.
The emperor buried her in silence, patted her on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, the throne will surely be yours."
He felt no joy at all; in fact, he was furious. "Are you even a man to go to such lengths for a woman who doesn't love you at all?"
Soon, he learned why his father was called "Father Emperor".
His father showed no grief whatsoever; instead, he took in many more concubines.
He then realized that the woman's death was also a relief for his father.
The Emperor wasted too much of his time on a woman who didn't love him.
From then on, he often dreamed of that woman, but she no longer had any influence on him.
He killed one woman after another, and had become accustomed to her contempt and disgust in his dreams.
After that, she never appeared in his dreams again, and he could finally sleep peacefully.
Until he met Yiguang.
The woman then resurrected in his dreams, each time with that faint smile, as if she had already accepted him as a demon.
Dugu Feng snapped out of her reverie, calmly looked at Yi Guang, and smiled, "I'm not afraid!"
I've been looking forward to death for a long time!
