Chapter 785 Her Obsession
The monsters on both sides moved at the same time.
The scene fell into chaos again.
And because of Cheng Huang's joining, the imperial guards and secret guards nearby didn't even have a chance to intervene.
In the chaos between the two sides, Quan Xian, who had been sitting on the ground, seemed to have just come back to his senses from his disbelief. He raised his head and looked in a daze at Helian Tuo who was watching the fight on the side.
"Is what she just said true?"
Helian Tuo didn't react at first, but when he understood what she meant, he felt that Quan Xian was even more inexplicable than Bai Qianqian's previous attack.
Is this the time to say that?
Although Jiang Yan said that Quan Xian and Bai Qianqian were actually the same person, after learning that she was Quan Xian and not the original Bai Qianqian, Helian Tuo felt less guilty towards her and just said casually,
"There are many things you don't know in the palace. I'll tell you in detail later."
How could Quanxian not hear the perfunctory tone in those words?
She suddenly smiled.
"Will we have a chance to talk about this in detail after tonight?"
Not to mention that he colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and broke into the forbidden palace at night, no matter which crime he was charged with, Helian Yue would never let him live.
Helian Tuo has no chance.
Everyone thought so, but Helian Tuo refused to accept this fact.
"You think I'm going to lose?"
"You've already lost." Quanxian's voice was calm, hoarse and like a whisper, "I've lost too."
Helian Tuo was already angry tonight, and now hearing her say this, he felt even more angry.
Quan Xian seemed to no longer care about his answer.
"A-Tuo, do you know that mermaids only love one person in their lifetime? I love you, even if you are just his substitute. But as long as you can make my dream come true, I am willing to sacrifice my entire soul. But why do I still get nothing in the end?"
Quanxian's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his face was haggard and wolfish, without any trace of his former radiance.
The beauty that belongs to mermaids is gone in her, and only the sadness in her eyes makes people shudder inexplicably.
Helian Tuo actually didn't know the so-called origin between him and her. He just pieced together a simple truth based on her past words and what Jiang Lian told him.
Although it was unbelievable, he subconsciously believed it.
At this time, she clearly pointed out that she was just a substitute. Helian Tuo felt that he should be angry.
But for some reason, he suddenly couldn't get angry.
Perhaps the sadness in Quanxian's eyes was too intense, which made him unable to help but feel a little bit of pity.
Is it wrong to love someone?
He also loves someone.
You can't do that.
In this regard, he and she could even be said to be in the same boat.
For some reason, he didn't want to pursue those things anymore.
"Don't say anything more." Helian Tuo said, "Although I no longer love you, tonight, I will do my best to take you away."
After leaving, they went their separate ways.
This was also his last responsibility towards Bai Qianqian.
If it were before, Quan would have been touched by his rescue, but now, she no longer had any expectations.
She had been abandoned long ago.
But she was unwilling to believe it.
Even if Zhu Yan had not been there, if he had obtained the throne one day, he would never have thought of giving the position of empress to her.
The Atuo in front of him may be a replacement, but he looks like that person.
And she had no place in his heart a long time ago.
In that case, why leave?
In a world without Atuo by her side, it no longer mattered whether she lived or not.
Quanxian slowly sat up straight with a sad smile on his face.
Before today, she had never thought that she would be brought to this state by a mere human.
Her voice was destroyed, her feet were crippled, and she lost all the pride of the mermaid race.
And now, her love is gone.
In the end, there is only one thing left.
Quan first raised his head and slowly looked at Si Linglong who was nervously watching the battle on the other side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
"A-Tuo, do I have something to tell you?"
Her voice was very slow, but it still penetrated Helian Tuo's ears clearly in this chaotic night.
Helian Tuo turned his head to look at her again, but saw Quan Xian on the ground with a black dagger in his hand.
She looked up at him, smiling with gentle malice.
"I can control everyone's life because you all have an obsession with me. Resentment can be dissipated, but obsession cannot. Among these obsessions, only the obsession in Si Linglong is the only one connected to me. Do you know what that means?"
Helian Tuo looked at Quan Xian and inexplicably felt a bad premonition in his heart.
But in the dark night, she was sitting on the cold bluestone road, smiling at him.
"It means that if I die, Si Linglong will die too."
What she couldn't get in her whole life, Si Linglong didn't deserve.
Helian Tuo's pupils suddenly dilated, and before he could make any move, Quan Xian had already stabbed the black short blade into his heart without hesitation.
At the same time, Si Linglong, who was originally standing on the other side, felt a sudden sharp pain in her heart. The next second, she fell backwards without any warning.
