"Shen Li, he’s not dead..."
"He’s the Emperor Yiyuan Ji Jiuli..."
"He deceived me, everything was fake..."
"He even tricked me into giving away the Earth Core, I was too foolish, too naive to believe him..."
Shen Tang threw herself into Xue Yinzhou’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Listening to her broken-hearted cries, Xue Yinzhou could guess seventy or eighty percent of the reasons.
His mysterious purple phoenix eyes flashed a hint of icy killing intent, pulling the female tightly into his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, whispering, "Let’s go back first and talk."
The female in his arms was too tired to cry anymore, and quietly leaned against his embrace.
Xue Yinzhou couldn’t know what she was thinking, most likely her mind was blank, unwilling to think about anything.
But he knew she needed him.
Xue Yinzhou gently brushed her hair, holding her steadily as he walked back to their residence.
On the way back, the system softly asked, [Host, would you like to drink the Forgetfulness Water?]
Shen Tang closed her eyes.
This time, she did not refuse.
At the moment she drank the Forgetfulness Water, a hot tear slid down her cheek. Subsequently, an inexplicable force extracted all feelings about Shen Li from her heart.
Love and hate vanished, as calm as water.
Upon returning to their residence, Xue Yinzhou noticed Shen Tang’s emotions were stabilizing, but worried she was pretending, "Tangtang, are you okay?"
Shen Tang wiped away the traces of tears, smiling, "I’m fine now."
Xue Yinzhou frowned more tenderly as he watched her, "If you want to cry, cry out loud, there’s nothing shameful about it."
In his childhood, when he was sad or in pain, he would hide in a corner and cry for a while. After crying, he would feel much more relaxed.
Shen Tang gave a serene smile, "I’m really okay now. I’ve thought about it on the way; he tricked me into giving away the core, that’s the reality, no matter how sad I am, it can’t change anything." She shrugged, "A loss teaches a lesson, life’s not always smooth sailing, right?"
Xue Yinzhou looked at her skeptically, "...Really seen through things?"
Shen Tang suddenly hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him downwards, and tipped her head up to kiss his cool lips, "Hmm~ Still feels a bit sad..." Her voice was tinged with a coquettish tone, "Would you comfort me?"
Xue Yinzhou’s purple snake eyes abruptly contracted, his hand on her waist unconsciously tightened, and his breathing became heavy.
He understood that she needed a night of indulgence to vent her emotions.
In the middle of the night, the two were entangled in brief yet passionate moments.
After comforting her, Shen Tang fell into a deep sleep.
Xue Yinzhou watched her beautiful yet somewhat haggard sleeping face, his slender fingers gently stroking her slightly furrowed brows, with an expression full of tender compassion.
He dressed and walked to the door.
The gentleness in his eyes vanished, replaced by an icy killing intent!
That damned fox... dared to hurt her like this!
Xue Yinzhou waved his hand, and thick Black Fog instantly enveloped the entire room.
His figure gradually merged into the night, disappearing without a trace.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.
Qiu Yang was sent out temporarily by Ji Jiuli for a task yesterday afternoon, halfway he heard the news of Your Majesty’s assault last night, and he panicked immediately. He rushed back to the Imperial Palace, pacing anxiously outside the halls.
The unknown female he met yesterday kept unsettling him, despite her plain appearance, something felt off.
What made him more anxious was the secret he attempted, the assassination of the Night Glow Monarch was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment!
He thought the elite assassin he sent would easily deal with a female, but by now, he hadn’t received any report, likely failing.
