At this moment, Qi Yu didn't know how to answer. He had never wanted to cover up his feelings with lies when facing Li Xiaoxiao, but the truth was so cruel.
"Yes or no?"
The woman's voice broke down again, but it was suffocating. Qi Yu remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind.
"That time, it was my fault."
He had to face the reality that, ever since his memories returned prematurely, these heavy facts had been weighing him down like a heavy blow, making it hard for him to breathe.
There was no way to deny it; those were the facts. So he tried everything to prove that even if he had made this mistake, he truly loved her, but reality was not what he expected.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I will spend my whole life making up for it. I was too impulsive back then." Qi Yu looked at Li Xiaoxiao, his tone full of pleading.
"Hahaha, what touching emotions, but unfortunately I won't let you have your way."
Zhang Sheng burst into wild laughter. Although he didn't know what had happened between the two, the whole "kill or not kill" thing sounded really interesting.
"Li Xiaoxiao, go kill Qi Yu." After laughing, Zhang Sheng directly commanded Li Xiaoxiao with his finger. At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao's body seemed to be controlled by something, and she gripped the Grim Reaper's Scythe tightly.
"Get away from me, all of you!" Li Xiaoxiao shouted, completely unaware of what was controlling her body.
Although she was filled with hatred for Qi Yu, she had no choice but to let him leave first. She did not want to be ordered to kill her loved ones.
She is not a murderous demon, she is not a devil.
Qi Yu also discovered that Zhang Sheng was actually manipulating silver threads, which were binding Li Xiaoxiao's soul.
This is the long-lost art of puppetry. It is said that the puppeteer had framed too many people on the mainland and was wicked, so the entire puppet family was wiped out. Now, however, a puppeteer has appeared. Everything is self-evident.
Zhang Sheng had been plotting this for a long time, so Qi Yu had no choice but to find a way to kill Zhang Sheng, the instigator.
But Zhang Sheng was holding Li Xiaoxiao hostage.
Qi Yu was caught in a dilemma; he couldn't bear to hurt Li Xiaoxiao.
Qi Yu had no choice but to rush forward. He had to cut the puppet strings binding Li Xiaoxiao and free his wife.
Zhang Sheng became increasingly arrogant. With a wave of his hand, Li Xiaoxiao launched a direct attack on Qi Yu. That huge scythe was the Grim Reaper who could dominate everything.
The sickle swung, and Qi Yu struggled to meet it, but every strike hit Qi Yu's body, and every time the sickle slashed through Qi Yu's clothes and flesh.
"Yes, yes, come closer and let me see how you killed Qi Yu. You should be a ruthless person. You are the ruler of the world, hahahaha."
Zhang Sheng laughed maniacally, manipulating Li Xiaoxiao to get close again. But at the critical moment, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly turned the direction of the scythe, and the long scythe pierced straight into Zhang Sheng's heart. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, and the golden core that had emerged from Zhang Sheng's heart shattered. All the vengeful spirits covering the Grim Reaper's scythe rushed towards Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng froze, staring at everything in disbelief. The wonderful future he had envisioned was about to come true, so why was it just a little bit short?
"Why?"
"Because you are not worthy to control me. Your so-called world does not exist. Human hearts are inherently greedy. No matter what kind of world it is, it cannot stop scrambling for resources and cannot build a so-called paradise."
Li Xiaoxiao tried hard to suppress her emotions. She knew that there was no such thing as a perfect world. People had to compete, and it never stopped.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng's tears flowed down his face. He had been wrong all along, all his efforts had been misdirected. He just wanted to build a world where only he, his mother, and the neighbors lived in harmony, a world without any injustice.
Upon closer reflection, this idea was far too naive. Everything he had worked so hard for had vanished; he was simply a lonely man, destined to die alone.
Zhang Sheng swallowed hard, but ultimately couldn't hold on and closed his eyes.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao also looked dejected. This was only part of the truth. The truth was so cruel. How should she face the rest?
"My lady, I'm sorry, I'll explain some things to you later." The obstacle in front of her disappeared, and Li Xiaoxiao still stood blankly on the head of the Sacred Jade Serpent Beast, holding her large scythe.
The whole figure looked incredibly desolate; their relationship had become entangled with many unnecessary loves and hates, as well as unstable factors.
"Qi Yu, don't come near me again." Li Xiaoxiao said this lightly, her eyes red, stubbornly refusing to appear so pathetic.
"My wife, why do you say such things? Whatever you want, I will do my best to satisfy you." Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to hear those words at all; they were practically a curse.
She suffers, she can't let go, and who could have predicted that in the next instant, her husband would become a madman who would kill her?
At first, she didn't understand and thought Li Xiaoxiao was a character in the book. Now she knows that she is the witch Li Xiaoxiao in the later stages of the story.
When Li Xiaoxiao, who was being controlled, was discovered, there was no longer any sign of her being controlled.
That person turned out to be her own, and given that her intelligence wasn't particularly high, she could only judge simple right and wrong, and she really couldn't judge matters of the heart.
"Qi Yu, let me go. Please stop bothering me. I don't want to be deceived by you."
Li Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in her chest. In this vast swampy secret realm, a huge magic array had appeared, and countless long-accumulated vengeful spirits and terrifying demonic energy rushed towards Li Xiaoxiao.
