Boom!
A terrifying aura surged through the heavens and the earth, a sky-reaching sword energy transformed into a beam of light, a light that aimed to eradicate all evil in the world, descending madly.
“Puff!”
As the terrifying sword light fell, Shangguan Xi'er hurriedly activated her Diamond Bracelet. Boom! The Diamond Bracelet shot out a blinding light, flying from a distance, instantly blocking her in front.
Under the slashing of the mysterious rusty sword, the Diamond Bracelet trembled violently, as if it could be cleaved away at any moment. Shangguan Xi'er widened her angry eyes and roared, “No, Qin Chen, I was wrong, I know I was wrong.” She fell to the ground with a bang, painfully repenting, “Qin Chen, have you forgotten how we loved each other? Have you forgotten how many storms we’ve weathered, how many days and nights we were tender and entwined? I don’t believe your heart has no place for me. You still love me, don’t you?”
“It was Feng Shaoyu who forced me… He drugged my tea to obtain me, and out of desperation, I had to submit to him. In truth, I have only ever loved you, really. In this lifetime, the only man I’ve ever had feelings for is you.” Shangguan Xi'er anxiously cried out, restoring her once pure appearance, tears streaming down her face, her stunning visage looked at Qin Chen pleadingly, her pitiful eyes reminiscent of when the Shangguan family was destroyed, and she had cried to find him.
This scene touched Qin Chen’s heart.
His thoughts instantly returned to three hundred years ago, everything like smoke and clouds, like a dream.
“Heh, you love me?”
Qin Chen smiled, laughing up to the sky, yet tears welled in the corners of his eyes.
Such a woman, how could she still dare to claim love for herself? “Qin Chen…” Shangguan Xi'er said in pain, “Give me a chance, a chance to change my ways. You must still love me, right? Back then we were so loving, how could it change so suddenly? If you don’t believe me, don’t you still believe in yourself? You are the Broken Dust Martial Emperor, a figure at the pinnacle of the continent. If I had no feelings for you, would I have stayed by your side for so long without you noticing?”
Shangguan Xi'er was filled with regret, she was repenting. In fact, she truly regretted it in her heart. Qin Chen's heart trembled, tears in his eyes. Yes, this was the point he least understood, he was the Broken Dust Martial Emperor. Although he was focused on researching alchemy and bloodlines, he was not blind to people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen through Mo Yuanbai among the many disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Back then, he and Shangguan Xi'er were so loving, why did it all change overnight? Even now, he couldn't understand how deep a woman's scheming could be.
He looked at Shangguan Xi'er, this woman who had once accompanied him but cruelly killed him for profit. How could a woman be so heartless? Did she have no feelings at all?
“Chen, you still love me, don’t you? During our journey to the Divine Forbidden Land, you were gravely injured, and I accompanied and cared for you for three days and nights. Have you forgotten?” Shangguan Xi'er cried.
Qin Chen was shocked.
Back then, he had ventured into the Divine Forbidden Land to find a way to resolve his bloodline issues, but was severely injured there. It was Shangguan Xi'er who took care of him, accompanying him day and night.
He still remembered that scene clearly, Shangguan Xi'er’s heartache for him, tears reddening her eyes.
But in the blink of an eye, she had changed, colluding with Feng Shaoyu to betray him. How could a woman's heart change so quickly? Qin Chen still couldn't figure it out.
In the Qiankun Transformation Jade Dish.
You Qianxue and the others remained silent.
The hearts of the three were pain-ridden. They didn't care about Qin Chen's past, but hearing these scenes still filled them with sorrow. They were not jealous, but rather filled with regret, wondering why it wasn't them who accompanied Qin Chen back then.
