Lu Shuang is a ruthless woman, but Xiao Zhan indulges her ruthlessness.
He said, "Yue Niang, Shuang'er is your elder sister; you need to take good care of her..."
He continued, "The pills we practiced a few days ago have been sent to your sister..."
He added, "Shuang'er has suffered a lot; you need to be accommodating to her..."
In his world, there has always been only Lu Shuang, not her Luan Yue. But how did she fall so deeply for him and stubbornly refuse to turn back?
When Lu Shuang broke her limbs, chopped off her hands and feet, gouged out her eyes, and destroyed her beauty, all she felt was hatred for Lu Shuang.
When the Three Souls and Seven Spirits met their end, unable to reincarnate and trapped in a dark cave for over two hundred years, her hatred still remained solely for Lu Shuang.
Xiao Zhan... what kind of situation have you put me in? How can you make so many demands of me so calmly?
Lu Shuang is pitiful, but what does that have to do with her? Wasn't she forced to live with snakes and insects at a young age, enduring the torment of countless bugs? Isn't it pitiful that she single-handedly supports Mingyue Bay? Isn't it pitiful that she has been deceived by her husband for decades while he kept other women, even bringing one into their home one day?
Xiao Zhan, are you so biased simply because... you don't love me?
So if you don't love me... why did you bring me out of Mingyue Bay in the first place? And why did you marry me?
"Why marry me? Xiao Zhan, to this day, I only seek one answer." A definitive conclusion.
Xiao Zhan looked at the ethereal soul before him, which seemed ready to vanish at any moment, feeling guilty and bitter: "Yue Niang... I am sorry."
I am sorry...
It turns out that the one you loved was never me...
"Is it because of her? For Lu Shuang, you can marry someone you don't love... Xiao Zhan, you are truly great!" The sorrow in her heart was desolate, painfully intense yet unable to be vented. The entire cave was eerie and dim.
Xiao Zhan's face remained the same, but his eyes were filled with guilt and helplessness.
"Back then, Shuang'er fell gravely ill, and the doctor said she wouldn't live past twenty. Hearing that Mingyue Bay had a way to grant immortality, I went there alone. Unexpectedly, I was injured and saved by you. After seeing that you were the priestess of Mingyue Bay, I changed my mind... Marrying you was just so I could give you a home... Yue Niang, I Xiao Zhan will never marry anyone else in this life..."
Such a reason! Everything was ultimately for her, Lu Shuang, but what role had Luan Yue played over these two hundred years?
A medium to help Lu Shuang prolong her life? Or that ridiculous lady of Cangjian Villa?
"You won't marry anyone else? ... Xiao Zhan, do you know you've ruined my life? You and Lu Shuang together have completely destroyed my life!!" She let out a hysterical laugh, her expression becoming even more ferocious.
"Have you been living comfortably for over two hundred years? Doesn't it feel great to live a long life?" She began to chant incantations frantically, her body undergoing changes. The most noticeable transformation was her Azure eyes; then all the scars on her body disappeared, and apart from becoming almost transparent, she had returned to her former appearance.
The only difference between Lu Shuang and Luan Yue was the bright red cinnabar mole beneath the corner of her right eye.
At this moment, that mole became exceptionally enchanting.
"Even if I can never be reborn, I Luan Yue will reclaim what you owe me!" She saw the fear and hatred in Lu Shuang's eyes, laughing seductively as she moved closer to her, touching her eyes, this time actually able to make contact.
Suddenly, she forcefully plunged her fingers into Lu Shuang's eye, instantly eliciting a scream and a spray of blood. Xiao Zhan stood nearby, unable to react in time.
By the time he regained his senses, he found himself unable to move.
Lu Shuang covered her eyes, glaring fiercely at Yue Niang: "Bitch! You vile woman!"
Yue Niang stepped forward and severed her meridians with delight on her face as she looked at Xiao Zhan: "Feeling heartbroken? Do you know she did this to me back then?"
The sharp nails suddenly dug in with force, tearing into Lu Shuang's face. She exclaimed, "This face has remained so tender after two hundred years, but why does it make me feel so uncomfortable?" Her nails had already pierced the flesh, hitting the bone, causing Lu Shuang to scream in agony.
Xiao Zhan stood by, unable to move, watching Lu Shuang roll on the ground. His pained gaze fell on Yue Niang. "After all, she is your sister. One should show mercy when possible."
"Show mercy? You two are the last people qualified to say that! Who do you think I owe my current situation to? It's all because of you!" She laughed savagely, gently severing Lu Shuang's hands. Looking at her furious single eye, she sneered, "I know you've spent over two hundred years studying witchcraft, thinking you've achieved something significant? Lu Shuang, let me tell you, what you know is just the surface!"
"Do you hate me? I hate you too! I truly despise both of you—one hypocritical and the other ruthless..." She left Lu Shuang with one eye and turned to face Xiao Zhan, her hand clawing at his chest. "Never oppose a power you don't understand because you have no idea how strong it really is!"
"This life of over two hundred years is what I, Yue Niang, have granted you. Now it's time for that mercy to be retracted..." She laughed recklessly as her sharp nails pierced through his clothing and into his chest. After hearing Lu Shuang's piercing scream, she looked at Xiao Zhan and slowly uttered a few words: "I regret saving you back then."
The light in Xiao Zhan's eyes instantly faded...
She slowly tightened her grip on the pulsating flesh, applying pressure little by little while scrutinizing the man before her, just as she had done in the past that made her infatuated.
"Stop!" Lu Shuang struggled desperately to rise and glared fiercely at them. "You can't kill him! You must not kill him!"
"What right do you have to order me?" Yue Niang's spirit became increasingly transparent, almost merging with the night as she looked expressionlessly in that direction.
Lu Shuang gritted her teeth, watching the bloodstains trailing down Xiao Zhan's gray robe. "I am your sister!"
"Sister?" At those words, Yue Niang loosened her grip but held onto the jade stone in Xiao Zhan's palm tightly, slowly drifting toward Lu Shuang. "So today you finally admit that you are my sister?"
"But how can a sister harm her own younger sister? That claim of yours is utterly ridiculous." She squinted at the woman below; such a beautiful face concealed a heart so cruel beneath its jade-like exterior.
"I will bear all the consequences myself; do not harm Xiao Zhan." Lu Shuang glanced at the man over there and said.
"It's too late..." Yue Niang held the jade stone that trapped her soul in her palm, its cold light flickering. At that moment, Lu Shuang realized what she intended to do and cried out in horror, "Have you gone mad?!"
"Crazy?" Yue Niang mocked herself, "What if I am? You all owe me; you don't think I truly won't hold it against you, do you?"
What you owe me, I will collect in full, even if it means my soul is shattered...
"…Yue Niang, stop. Let's go through reincarnation together." Xiao Zhan knelt in the cave, clutching his chest, his pale face looking at her.
"After drinking this Meng Po Soup, everything will vanish, right? Don't torment yourself anymore. I will repay what I owe you in the next life..."
"Shut up!" Yue Niang tightened her grip, a piece of jade shattering slightly. "Reincarnation? In the end, you're still considering that woman. What makes her better than me? You still think about how to protect her!"
Anger filled her chest, nearly burning her soul to ashes.
How could Lu Shuang compare to her?!
"Why should I?" Tears glimmered in the corners of her eyes. Why should she?
Xiao Zhan glanced at the despondent Lu Shuang lying on the ground, his voice hoarse: "…Because I love her."
Even though everything pressed down on her, it ultimately could not withstand your simple statement: because I love her.
Xiao Zhan... you are the cruelest man in this world, hurting others with such tender affection that it pierces to the bone.
You married her for that person, hurt her for that person, and now seek her for that person...
The jade shattered and fell from the air under Lu Shuang's horrified gaze.
Different people exert different forces; if it were she who crushed it, only Luan Yue would turn to dust. But now that Luan Yue is the one crushing the jade, what awaits them is only...
"Hmph!" A chilling presence from hell emerged as two figures, one black and one white, holding scythes stepped out of the darkness. They looked at the man and woman on the ground and coldly snorted, "It's been over two hundred years, and I've always been missing two souls. Finally found you!"
They stepped forward, using their scythes to extract the souls from their bodies, binding them with chains, their tone sinister: "Thinking you can escape your fate? Just wait for the eighteen layers of hell!"
Lu Shuang glanced at Luan Yue, who was still smiling at her in mid-air, and suddenly screamed, "There's another person over there! Why aren't you taking her away?"
White Impermanence stepped forward and slashed at her waist: "Still trying to drag others down with you? What a wicked woman!"
Black Wuchang coldly surveyed Xiao Zhan and Lu Shuang before finally looking at Luan Yue: "They're all about to lose their souls anyway. Why bother? Let's go."
Luan Yue was willing to risk losing her soul just to make them suffer?
Xiao Zhan felt a sharp pain in his heart upon hearing this. Did she truly hate him that much?
His gaze fell on the somewhat sorrowful soul over there; he watched as she gradually became transparent, until she finally disappeared...
"Let's go!" Black Wuchang pushed him from behind, causing him to stumble forward. Listening to Lu Shuang's continuous resentful words beside him, his heart felt bitter.
From Mingyue Bay to Cangjian Villa, he ultimately let that woman down. Even though she had countless virtues and loved him so deeply, he had taken advantage of that and ended up hurting her terribly...
"Oh foolish mortals..." Black Wuchang looked at him and uttered this phrase as the gates of the underworld opened...
