"Xia Ming, you had given up on her that year so everything that you're enduring now is the consequences of your own actions!" Xiao Zixie curled his lips and smiled evilly. He then turned his eerie purple eyes towards Xia Chuxue as loathing and disgust filled his gaze, "Furthermore, you had wanted to snatch me away and give me to this woman? I, Zixie, will not be contracted to just anybody! From generation to generation, she is the only master I've ever recognized. As long as her soul was not destroyed, I will forever await her existence. If she was annihilated, both the Ancient Divine Pagoda and I will disappear from this world!"
His tender and youthful voice echoed throughout the halls like a heavy weight and slammed into the hearts of every single person.
Xia Linyu's expression was filled with delight, it was more than enough for him to know that his sister has such a loyal companion in this life.
"So, you're the true Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda." Lu Chen closed his eyes in agony. His handsome face was twisted with remorse yet he did not display even the slightest glimmer of guilt.
His regret was not because he had killed Xia Ruoyun but because he had lost such a powerful support!
If he had married her that year, Xia Ruoyun's Ancient Divine Pagoda would then have belonged to him! Furthermore, this mainland would have become his for the taking! However, he had easily bought into the Xia family's lies and killed the true master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda by mistake. Furthermore, he had helped an imposter!
Lu Chen's heart was gripped with pain.
"Yun'er," He opened his eyes and stared in agony at the woman's lucid and elegant features. He spoke in a voice which dripped with remorse and shame, "I had been deceived that year. That was why I had turned into this. I know that you hate me but it's also because you have felt love so it has led to your hatred! I hope that you will give me a chance to love you and take care of you. I, Lu Chen, can swear to you that I will never let you down!"
Yes, in Lu Chen's point of view, Gu Ruoyun was still in love with him. Otherwise, why would she have held such a strong hatred towards him?
A smile appeared on Gu Ruoyun's face, making her already delicate and pretty features even more compelling. However, her dark, black eyes were filled with mockery. She stared at Lu Chen with a smile which did not reach her eyes.
When he saw the smile on that woman's face, Lu Chen assumed that he still had a chance. His heart leaped with joy and his eyes beheld Gu Ruoyun as if she was enveloped in the gentle warmth of sunlight.
"Yun'er, I knew you still love me. Since that's the case, let us select an auspicious day and get married."
Xia Chuxue, who was standing next to Lu Chen, felt a cold laugh originating from the recesses of her heart as she stared at the shameless look on that man's face. This man is so utterly pragmatic, she thought. Just a while ago, he had been making a solemn vow to me but not long after, he would turn around and throw flattery towards another woman.
"Lu Chen," The smile on Gu Ruoyun's face deepened. She raised her gaze at the man standing in front of her as she said, "I do hate you. I hate you so much that I dearly wish I could hack you into pieces, make mincemeat out of you, then go to the forest and feed you to the dogs! Of course, this kind of hatred is completely unrelated to any form of love but comes from everything that you've done to Yu'er! I can never put up with anyone who has hurt the people I that love! So, even in my dreams, I always see myself returning to get my revenge."
Lu Chen's face drained of color. He staggered back as he shook his head and stared at Gu Ruoyun with disbelief.
"No, I don't believe it. You still love me, I'm sure of it! Yun'er, I've promised you that I would treat you very well in the future. What more do you want? Furthermore, I can also swear that from now on, I will not lay a finger on any other woman but you!" At this point, Lu Chen softened his tone of voice and spoke gently, "I know that I cannot be compared to that silver-haired man by your side but have you ever considered that an outstanding and powerful man like him would certainly attract many women in the future? Knowing your pride, can you tolerate a man with three wives and four concubines? Only I, Lu Chen, can devote my heart and soul entirely to you. Yun'er, if you choose him, you will regret it!"
