Chapter 283 Yun Piaomiao's Death
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
She stood safely on the sword, facing the wind, the breeze blowing through her clothes, like a fairy descending to earth.
Xiao Ze's eyes dimmed, he calmed himself down and spoke slowly.
"Yun Piaomiao was framed by the fifth master of the Li family and was imprisoned in the dungeon and tortured for several days. Finally, she used her magic to absorb the blood of Shui Furong and Madam Li, and was able to escape. Now that the Li family has fallen into her hands again, she ordered the Li family to use any means necessary to massacre the Yunling An family."
"What?"
An Ran widened her eyes in disbelief.
"How cruel is Yun Piaomiao? He even didn't let his own mother and grandmother go."
"Yes, she is a crazy witch." Xiao Ze said in a low voice. His voice was filled with endless pain and regret.
An Ran suddenly looked at Xiao Ze with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
"You're willing to give up everything for her, aren't you? Although these things are unbelievable, you must be able to accept them."
Her tone was cold and sharp, like a sword piercing the heart.
"An Ran, do you have to mock me like this?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Xiao Ze's eyes, but more of it was heartache. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"When she was still Mantuo, she gave me a drug called Love Fragrance. People who take this drug will fall in love with the person who gave it. Anran, I just want to say that I didn't want to betray you back then."
An Ran's eyes widened, as if she had heard a fairy tale. She couldn't believe that all this was true, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
The person she once loved deeply was actually plotted against, which led to the breakdown of their relationship. But now, Xiao Ze told her that all this was not his intention.
Anran looked at Xiao Ze silently, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Master Xiao, maybe I can't blame you in the past. But now that I've come back to this world, Yun Piaomiao didn't drug you again, but you still chose her, so you can't say it wasn't your intention."
"An Ran, I..."
Xiao Ze hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to An Ran.
"If it's wrong, it's wrong. It can't be undone. I can listen to your explanation and understand your helplessness at the time, but that doesn't mean I can calmly accept the pain inflicted on me."
An Ran looked indifferent. Many things, once missed, there is no turning back. Not everyone will stand there and wait.
Xiao Ze gritted his teeth tightly, with a bloody smell between his lips and teeth. He understood everything, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I should go now. Thank you for informing me of Yun Piaomiao's whereabouts."
Anran nodded slightly and turned to leave.
“Of course.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. An Ran turned around and saw Tang Shixun rushing towards her.
"Brother Tang."
Anran couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows curved into crescents, filled with joy.
"Why did you come back so soon?"
"I was afraid you would worry, so I rushed back after finding out everything."
Tang Shixun stopped beside An Ran, stood side by side with her, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
He rubbed An Ran's hair with a smile, then turned to look at Xiao Ze. His smile disappeared instantly and an unhappy expression appeared on his face.
"Master Xiao, the day you rescued Yun Piaomiao, you stood on the opposite side of Ranran. When the damage has been done, no amount of guilt will help."
"Forget it, Brother Tang, let's go back!"
An Ran pulled Tang Shixun and no longer looked at Ze.
"Okay, let's go home."
An Ran's words "Let's go back" instantly cheered up Tang Shixun. Neither of them spoke to Xiao Ze anymore and went to Yunling together.
Xiao Ze stood there in a daze, looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, feeling extremely sad.
The good times of the past are gone forever, and An Ran, who had a gleam in her eyes and sweetly called him Brother Xiao, no longer belongs to him.
Time passed minute by minute, night fell, and the moonlight shone on Xiao Ze, reflecting his lonely figure.
He stood there quietly like a sculpture, motionless. The night wind blew, bringing a slight chill, but Xiao Ze was completely unaware of it.
His thoughts had long drifted far away, recalling every moment he spent with An Ran. Those beautiful moments have now become an indelible pain in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ze moved his body slightly. He slowly raised his head and stared in the direction of Yunling.
That piece of land witnessed his and Anran's past and carried their shared memories.
He sighed deeply, then turned and left, his steps heavy and slow.
Xiao Ze walked farther and farther away, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Yun Piaomiao was leaning on the luxurious bed with drunken eyes, holding a wine glass in her hand, with the wine in the glass rippling slightly.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, and her hair was scattered messily on the pillow, revealing a lazy and charming atmosphere.
She looked at the person who appeared in the room with a dazed look, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Brother Xiao, you're back?"
The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground, and the wine in the glass spilled all over the floor. She got up from the bed, held Xiao Ze's hand tightly, and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Xiao, you are finally back. I knew you would not be able to let me go."
Yun Piaomiao cried with joy. Only after Xiao Ze left did she realize how important Xiao Ze was in her heart.
"Don't ever leave me again, okay? Let's stay in the demon clan together and share the glory and wealth together."
Yun Piaomiao hugged Xiao Ze tightly, tears constantly flowing from her eyes and dripping onto Xiao Ze's shoulders.
Xiao Ze let Yun Piaomiao hold him. He didn't say anything and didn't react. He just stood there quietly like a sculpture.
Yun Piaomiao raised her head and looked at Xiao Ze with tearful eyes, her eyes full of love and attachment.
"Xiao Ze, I love you... No matter what happens, I will always love you. As long as you don't leave me, I'm willing to do anything."
Xiao Ze remained silent, but the indifference in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of tenderness.
He sighed softly, stretched out his hand to hold Yun Piaomiao in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, I promise you."
Yun Piaomiao cried with joy and hugged Xiao Ze tightly, feeling his warm embrace.
However, at this moment, Xiao Ze suddenly pushed her away with force, and a cold light flashed in his hand, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand.
In a flash, a hint of determination flashed in Xiao Ze's eyes. He raised his sword, pointed the tip of the sword at Yun Piaomiao's chest, and stabbed it without hesitation.
Yun Piaomiao, who had no time to react, looked at Xiao Ze in disbelief, his eyes full of despair and sadness.
Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to say something, but no sound came out. Her body slowly fell to the ground, blood staining the ground red.
Xiao Ze looked at Yun Piaomiao's body silently, feeling mixed emotions.
