"Over the years, I have become increasingly unable to control my rage for blood and murder, yet I dare not even kill the King of Qin. Because I... am also afraid of death."
"I'm afraid the Mother Gu is in his hands. If he dies, I will die too."
"I understand. I have long been a puppet in his hands. I didn't even know that this ruthless couple had exchanged their bastard for my princess."
"Later, I learned that I couldn't even leave the Nan'an Imperial City and the area within a hundred miles. Otherwise, the poisonous insects in my body would immediately burrow into my brain and cause me to die instantly."
"Now I hear that Zulia is dead, and the King of Qin and his son were also killed by you. You can be considered to have avenged Yue'er."
"It's a pity...I'm still alive."
"Rong Shi, this is my uncle's miserable life."
"Now I am still afraid of death... I am stupid and incompetent."
"It was I who completely destroyed the Great Chu."
"I am not worthy to be a king. I am not worthy to be your uncle, nor am I worthy to be Yue'er's brother."
"I should have died long ago."
"Just kill me."
After saying this, Zong Zheng Langri raised his head with a dead heart, waiting for Duan Rongshi to personally slit his throat and kill him.
However, after hearing what Zong Zheng Langri said, Duan Rongshi suddenly took a few steps back.
Then he turned around quickly and strode away.
Li Qingluo did not catch up immediately.
Instead, he stared at Emperor Chu and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
Zong Zheng Langri was no longer able to argue with her.
He simply said, "If I lie about even one word, I will never see the moon in the underworld after I die!"
Li Qingluo looked at him with an indescribable expression.
I thought to myself: You couldn’t see it in the first place!
I'm afraid my mother has already left the underworld and is living a truly carefree life.
But after knowing the inside story of how Zong Zheng Langri became what he is now, Li Qingluo felt quite complicated.
For a moment, I really didn't know how to kill again.
"So, Mother doesn't know what you did for her?"
Zong Zheng Langri shook his head.
"Why should she know?"
"This is what I, as her brother, should do for her."
"But I never thought that I would end up killing her!"
"I didn't dare to leave her in Da Chu at the beginning, because I realized that Da Chu was about to rot completely."
"But after hearing the tragic news, I still couldn't believe it. She left this world like this. From now on, we are separated by the Yin and Yang!"
"And I was so cowardly back then that I didn't even dare to declare war on Daliang to seek justice for Yue'er!"
"Even since then, I have started having nightmares every night."
"In that studio, all the portraits of Yue'er you saw were drawn every time I woke up from a nightmare."
"Only when I see her face can my heart calm down and I feel like I am still alive."
"I know I'm nothing."
"I developed such strong feelings for my own biological sister."
"But I don't know how to control it. Perhaps I was born a monster."
Li Qingluo shook his head.
It is a lament for the life of the Emperor of Chu.
"Then let me ask you, what about the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect you mentioned?"
"Why is there no such person by your side now?"
"Did you kill her?"
Zong Zheng glanced at Li Qingluo brightly.
"I am cruel and cold-blooded, but there are only a few people in this world who are sincere to me."
"Back then, she was considered one."
"Even if I have no humanity, I still covet that bit of sincerity. How could I kill her?"
"She said she would go find a way to relieve my pain and cure the poison. So, she left Da Chu."
"But once she left, there was no news of her and she never came back."
"I also sent people out to look for her, but they said she didn't return to Miaojiang that year, but went to the Western Regions."
"But no matter how hard we searched, there was no news of her."
Li Qingluo: "Maybe she was afraid you would kill her to silence her, so she took the opportunity to leave?"
Zong Zheng Langri gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't speak, you can just shut up!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Since the sword is in your hand, kill me for Rong Shi!"
"But before I die, I still want to know one thing, so I beg you... to ask Rong Shi for clarification."
Li Qing found Duan Rongshi by the dark river in the innermost area.
She walked over quickly and called softly, "Ashi?"
Duan Rongshi suddenly woke up.
Turning to look at Li Qingluo behind him, he said, "Luo'er, if Mother knew what he did for her back then, would she still hate him?"
