The soft sword danced in the air, and Gu Chuzhi's painful howls echoed from inside the room. He rolled around on the ground, writhing in agony.
Yi Chenli was like a demon from hell, a vengeful spirit. He didn't kill Gu Chuzhi with a single sword strike, but instead scraped off pieces of Gu Chuzhi's flesh, tearing him to pieces.
Every piece of flesh scraped off is a way for Yi Chenli to make Gu Chuzhi atone for the sins and misdeeds he has committed over the years.
Gu Chuzhi will now experience, little by little, all the pain he once inflicted on others.
This is a kind of suffering worse than death.
In the end, Gu Chuzhi was in so much pain that he almost suffocated several times, but he was unable to resist. Each time he fainted, he would regain consciousness and endure the next round of torment.
Knowing he had no hope, Gu Chuzhi suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha. Yi Chenli, do you think you've won me? Do you think you've won An Yuan'er's love? Let me tell you, she only pities you, she doesn't really like you. From beginning to end, you're still a pathetic wretch that nobody cares about. What's the difference between you and me?"
Yi Chenli's cold expression finally showed a slight change. When An Yuan'er was mentioned, the only soft spot in Yi Chenli's heart, he couldn't help but care.
“Yuan’er has always only felt disgust for you. You’re a loser, what right do you have to talk so arrogantly and compare yourself to me? Yuan’er and I grew up together and went through all sorts of hardships together. What do you know?” Yi Chenli kept emphasizing, telling himself and Gu Chuzhi that Yuan’er had only ever loved him.
But for someone who has never had family love since childhood and has suffered neglect and ridicule because of his leg ailment, Yi Chenli's unease and emptiness are much greater than he imagined.
No one had ever loved him before. Yuan'er was the only one, the warm sun that healed his lonely heart. Yi Chenli would not allow that warm sun to have any flaws or be shattered.
Yi Chenli doesn't love this cold world. The people here are selfish, hypocritical, and indifferent, and it's full of lies... But because of An Yuan'er, Yi Chenli is unwilling to dwell on the many hardships he suffered in the past, and he is willing to try to love this world.
"Yuan'er only loves me, only me." A ruthless glint flashed in Yi Chenli's eyes as he chopped off Gu Chuzhi's arm as punishment.
"If you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't hesitate to make your death even more painful." Yi Chenli exuded a chilling aura, his eyes filled with a deathly darkness.
Having reached this point, Gu Chuzhi felt neither pain nor fear. His eyes bulged, veins stood out, and he was covered in blood. He couldn't have An Yuan'er, and even in death, he would never allow An Yuan'er and Yi Chenli to be happy.
He was pathetically smug; Yi Chenli really did care. Otherwise, why would he be so agitated?
He revealed a sinister smile: "How could I not know what kind of person Yuan'er was? In our past life, she and I were husband and wife who shared the same bed every day, were inseparable, and were deeply in love. Meanwhile, you were just a lonely and irritable tyrant who suffered the scorn of the world."
"Yuan'er and I were just misunderstandings as husband and wife, which is why she's avoiding me in this life. As for Yuan'er approaching you, it's simply because she knows you can protect the An family and wants some protection from you. So her intentions were impure from the beginning, and only you foolishly thought that she loved you."
“She and I are husband and wife, while you have always been an outsider.”
