“The female medical cultivator turned into an old woman overnight. This young girl suffered such a disaster, the reason behind it turned out to be—”

Shen Wanqing clicked in and took a look.

[Sorry, I accidentally mistook the female medical cultivator for her grandmother.]

“The sword cultivator’s courtship failed, he even hid in the bed and cried out like a lamb. But he didn’t expect that the sound transmission spell had been pasted on his body and his master could hear it all clearly?”

Shen Wanqing clicked in and took a look.

[Thank you for your concern, the sword cultivator and his master are together now, they are very happy.]

Sure enough, no matter what world she was in, these kinds of clickbait headlines would always exist. Plus, all the titles sounded very explosive, but after clicking on the content, they rendered her speechless.

Until she saw ––

When he was asleep, his brows would still be furrowed, and his face would look extremely pale. But she didn’t know why, at this moment, all his hostility vanished. He simply laid beside her quietly, as if he was inexplicably vulnerable.

Shen Wanqing looked away and quietly opened the post.

The page slowly expanded.

She read with relish for a while.

The content was very ordinary. First, it very vividly described the powerfulness and ferocity of the Demon Lord, and then it described the horrible and tragic scene at the time.

The writing style was smooth and there was a very strong sense of immersion while reading.

Until Shen Wanqing saw—

“Seeing that the Demon Lord was about to slaughter the human realm, I knew that I could no longer turn a blind eye to all of this. Even though I could not bear to do it, I had to stand up for righteousness. I knew that this was my mission, it was for the people, even if it meant killing my lover with my own hands.”

…?

What lover?

*This can’t be what I’m thinking of, right?*

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath and almost fainted.

She read the following content with trepidation and nervousness.

“In the bloody scene, I stood in front of him. His eyes were bloodshot red and his jet black hair fluttered. He pointed a sword towards my throat, however, I did not retreat at all.

At that moment, I suddenly reminisced about our past, when he was still a youth, when we laid on the grass together without worries…”

“What are you reading?”

Xie Wuyan opened his eyes, stood up, raised his hand and held onto the spiritual cultivation book that was in Shen Wanqing’s hand. Before she could react, he took it from her easily.

Shen Wanqing’s pupils trembled, and she hurriedly tried to grab it back, but was pushed away by Xie Wuyan who pressed onto her forehead. She could only struggle needlessly like a cat trying to pounce.

Xie Wuyan snorted lightly, “I knew it.”

Shen Wanqing swallowed hard, lowered her head silently, and quietly observed Xie Wuyan’s expression from the corner of her eye from time to time.

… It seems that Xie Wuyan had not yet discovered that he was reading a love story with him as the main character.

“Him and I embraced under the moonlight, we only had each other in our eyes?”

Xie Wuyan slowly opened his mouth and read the words on the book. It seemed like he had not yet come to realize the seriousness of the matter yet.

Shen Wanqing: “…It’s like this, I think Big Brother Xie, you should not continue reading it, or you will regret it.”

Xie Wuyan glanced at her icily.

Shen Wanqing’s heart skipped a beat.

It’s over, the Xie Wuyan who didn’t like to be threatened was now provoked.

The enraged Xie Wuyan laid down at a comfortable angle, and recited each word even more clearly: “He reached out his hand to gently lift the hair near my cheek and held my face.”

“Looking back now, I just wish that this moment would stay forever.”

“And now, the two of us are eternal enemies. He’s a heinous demon, a demon that must be brought to an end by my own hands. He looked at me for a long time, then put down his sword, turned around, and said to me, ‘You can leave’.”

“I took out the Solitary Light Sword with tears in my eyes…”

Finally.

Xie Wuyan, who had been reciting leisurely, realized that something was wrong. He silently glanced at the content below.

[I took the Solitary Light Sword that he personally forged for me and sealed him. ]

[From now on, the two of us will meet our ends on completely different paths.]

Shen Wanqing’s heart was in ashes, and she regretted that she didn’t take a look at the Invisibility Spell first when she got the spiritual book.

She lowered her head and didn’t even dare to look up into Xie Wuyan’s eyes.

After a long time, she heard a low sneer.

It gave her goosebumps.

“What do you think?” Xie Wuyan asked slowly and methodically.

Shen Wanqing was speechless.

She pondered for a long time before she said with difficulty: “I think it’s fine…love is free.”

Xie Wuyan let out a low laugh, threw the spiritual cultivation book aside, raised his hand and clasped the back of Shen Wanqing’s head, forcing her to look up at him: “Do you believe it?”

Shen Wanqing immediately reacted: “I don’t believe it! Who is the one making up all these baseless rumors, I am filled with righteous indignation!”

Xie Wuyan was obviously not surprised with her running her mouth like a trainwreck.

He let go of her, pressed in the direction of the spiritual cultivation book, flipped the pages, and stopped precisely on the pages of “Love and Hatred”.

Immediately afterward, the paper ignited into blue flames in an instant, burning the pages completely.

When Shen Wanqing went to look again, the post had disappeared without a trace.

…is this the legendary ‘deleting posts’?

After doing all this, Xie Wuyan laid back down again but did not close his eyes, just stretched out his hand to twist Shen Wanqing’s hair, playing with it in his hands. He then asked lightly: “Do you know how the Solitary Light Sword was forged in the beginning?”

“How was it forged?”

“The human bones created the hilt of the sword, and flesh and blood were condensed into the blade of the sword.” Xie Wuyan snorted lightly, “Only those who live in the lies fabricated by the Heavenly Dao Palace will believe that this is a sword that can bring salvation.”

Shen Wanqing was a smart person.

Although Xie Wuyan didn’t make it clear, just based on these few sentences alone, she could guess whose flesh and blood the Solitary Light Sword was forged from.

She didn’t say anything, just obediently covered Xie Wuyan with the quilt again, and pressed the edges down for him very considerately to cover him tightly.

Xie Wuyan was silent for a while, then looked at her: “Do you have anything else to ask me?”

In fact, Shen Wanqing really had nothing to ask about Xie Wuyan.

She did not care about the origins of the Solitary Light Sword at all, she just wanted to complete her task well, and if the conditions permitted, she would find a method that meant Xie Wuyan would not have to be sealed.

If the conditions did not allow her to be a little traitor, she would help Xie Wuyan sneak away.

The rest she didn’t care much about.

But Xie Wuyan asked herself this so out of the blue, it made her feel like it would be a pity if she didn’t ask anything.

So Shen Wanqing thought deeply and asked, “So you really haven’t dated for hundreds of years?”

She thought about it for a while and was worried that Xie Wuyan didn’t understand this uncommon word ‘date’, and explained patiently: “Just like Brother Ji and Sister Feng who are in love. I still don’t believe that someone would be all alone for hundreds of years.”

Xie Wuyan: “Get out.”

So Shen Wanqing, who was pushed out of the room, stood at the door, letting the wind blow while hugging the pillow and falling into contemplation.

Men’s words are not to be trusted! He was clearly the one who told me to ask, how could he get angry with me from shame?

[Villainess system:

Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the hidden mission [Xie Wuyan’s past]

Reward Xie Wuyan’s memory recall +1, and the defense kit +1. Tip, the kit needs to be opened when there is a life-and-death situation to defend against a one-off attack. ]

Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment by the unexpected task reward notification.

Immediately, she unbelievably started to be touched. She didn’t expect that this system would be willing to give rewards. It was so touching.

But after thinking about it for a while, this broken kit could only be opened when there was a life-and-death situation. So if she wanted to use this reward, she had to put her life in danger?

Shen Wanqing felt that this was like tricking a child.

This may be what you call workplace bullying.

But what was “Xie Wuyan’s memory recall”?

Shen Wanqing pondered for a while, and finally chose to use it.

As soon as it was chosen, the surroundings turned into a vast black color.

This feeling was very familiar, it was just like the feeling of being able to see other people’s memories when she touched other people’s souls using the Blood Burning Technique.

After a long time, the black color gradually dissipated.

The surroundings were a barren land, there was yellow sand and dirt churning in the wind.

Finally, the wind stopped.

Xie Wuyan was lying not too far away.

Even Shen Wanqing, who was very good at adapting, froze involuntarily when she saw Xie Wuyan, and almost didn’t dare to identify him.

Because his appearance was more like a skeleton with some flesh and blood sticking to it than that of a human being. His whole body was burned to such an extent that it didn’t look like he was a living person at all.

There were bursts of roars around. The sky suddenly darkened, and the black airflow gathered into a vortex, surging beside Xie Wuyan.

Several underworldly demons came out of the vortex and gathered around Xie Wuyan.

However, not to save him.

But to eat his flesh and blood.

This scene was bloody and disgusting.

Even Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but cover her chest to curb the nauseating desire.

It was obviously a very horrifying scene, but for some reason, Shen Wanqing suddenly felt an unprecedented sorrow.

No one had ever given Xie Wuyan a choice.

He was forced to this extent; forced by others.

Shen Wanqing knew that if her mother hadn’t used her life to take her away more than ten years ago, she would have ended up like this.

Suddenly, Xie Wuyan opened his eyes.

In an instant, the blood that was flowing on the ground and the skeleton-like body ignited a blazing fire, covering the sky.

Even if it was just a memory recall, Shen Wanqing could still feel that powerful force.

She knew what it was.

The Blood Burning Technique.

It was not unexpected that Xie Wuyan also possessed this ability.

But ever since then, Xie Wuyan never used this power again.

The scene changed slowly, overlapping and interlacing like a time transition in a movie.

Shen Wanqing didn’t know how much time had passed.

But she saw with her own eyes how Xie Wuyan lived through the hundred years of his life.

A person with such high cultivation like Xie Wuyan did not need to sleep, nor would he feel tired.

As such, his day would be much longer than that of the average person.

He had a big palace.

He would always be alone in his palace.

He would often idly nestle in his seat, casually making the lights flicker on and off.

From start to finish, he was alone.

Occasionally at night, he would stand on the back of Xuanniao and fly around aimlessly. Sometimes, he would throw a stone out of boredom to hit the shoulders of passers-by and listen to them curse.

Shen Wanqing finally knew why she was full of joy when she flew with her sword the day before yesterday, but Xie Wuyan was lacking in enthusiasm.

Because he had seen those sorts of night sceneries too many times, even the most beautiful of sceneries would become worn out.

Perhaps, it was not the case that Xie Wuyan did not have the power to resist the seal a hundred years ago.

It’s just that at that time, it really didn’t matter to him whether he lived or died.

The black fog in front of her gradually dissipated.

Just like waking up from a big dream, Shen Wanqing looked at her hands, still in a trance.

Xie Wuyan leaned against the door lazily and yawned: “What? Are you still going to keep standing here?”

Shen Wanqing stared at him very seriously.

Xie Wuyan: “?”

How come he could see some maternal love from her eyes?

The next second, Shen Wanqing, who was overflowing with maternal love, stretched out her hand with a whimper, hugged onto Xie Wuyan’s arm, and said sincerely, “You have been through so much hardship!”

Xie Wuyan: “…Is your brain broken from the cold?”
