Chapter 111: The Shattered Defense

Sh-Shen Xitang?

Ex-ex-wife!

Yue Hongling was still taken aback by the beauty of the woman in front of her, but as she recalled Shen Xitang’s words, a blazing flame shot up from her heart.

However, she didn’t explode.

She was holding it in!

Even though this unknown flame was making her eyes red.

“You know me?” Yue Hongling raised an eyebrow.

“Of course I do! If you hadn’t broken up with my brother, I’d have to call you ‘sister’—but it seems that’s not necessary anymore.”

“Why not?”

Yue Hongling’s eyes reddened even more.

Shen Xitang seemed completely oblivious, beaming a simple, joyful smile.

“Because you betrayed my brother and love; for someone as sentimental as him, the deeper the betrayal, the greater the hurt. He definitely won’t forgive you!”

“And just think about it: if you betrayed my brother and he loved you deeply, the hurt just becomes unbearable, making forgiveness impossible.”

“If he forgives you, it means your betrayal didn’t hurt him that badly, which means he never truly loved you.”

“So, now, with these two paths before you, how will you choose?”

At these words, Yue Hongling’s face turned pale.

Her body seemed out of control as she staggered back three steps; the fire had reached her head, leaving her feeling stiff and dazed.

Two paths, how to choose?

Forgiveness meant he didn’t love her.

Love meant no forgiveness.

“Oh, by the way, choosing to forgive means you don’t care about being a dog’s mistress or whether Lu Ye loves you; you only like the resources Lu Ye brings you.”

“I’m not like that!”

Yue Hongling roared.

Shen Xitang remained unfazed, smiling lightly.

“I believe you aren’t; you’re too beautiful, with such a great figure—there’s no way you could just be a white-eyed wolf.”

Yue Hongling forced herself to calm down.

At this moment, in Yue Hongling’s heart, her dislike for this inexplicably appearing Shen Xitang completely surpassed that for Shangguan Huanling, and not just by a little.

“Who are you? How do you know all this?”

In Yue Hongling’s memory, there was definitely no one named Shen Xitang.

Such a beautiful person would have shocked the world—she couldn’t possibly go unnoticed.

The cultivation world is a peculiar place; beauty abounds, and what woman doesn’t desire to be beautiful?

And when a woman possesses a way to enhance her beauty without side effects, one can only imagine how madly she’ll pursue it.

Yet, no matter how beautifully you transform yourself—that beauty is yours alone; beauty is subjective.

But now, this Shen Xitang seemed to embody all beauty. From the moment Yue Hongling laid eyes on her, she was certain that this was the most beautiful existence in the world, akin to the supreme flower of the Dao.

Someone like her, she had never heard of in her previous life—how could that be?

“I’m just an ordinary person, currently in love with my brother, and he’s told me everything,” Shen Xitang said with a smile.

“Including?”

“Including the last life, and how you betrayed him!”

Yue Hongling once again exploded with rage.

The word ‘betrayal’ made her extremely uncomfortable, but what angered her the most was that Lu Ye had actually mentioned the reincarnation.

When Shangguan Huanling spoke of reincarnation, she understood it, because Shangguan Huanling was foolish.

But Lu Ye—such a smart person—also mentioned it.

That only meant one thing.

This woman was someone Lu Ye chose to believe in, even after experiencing eight betrayals.

No!

No!

No!

Yue Hongling could not accept it.

If Lu Ye ever shut his heart completely against love, she could accept that—she could continue fighting for him.

Because if Lu Ye shut his heart, it would be because he couldn’t forget them.

But if a new woman appeared, and Lu Ye was willing to enter a new romance, what would that mean?

It meant Lu Ye was trying to escape their eightfold embrace, willing to believe in love again, ready to completely forget them.

How could this be!

Yue Hongling’s eyes turned blood-red, bursting with intense murderous intent.

She would rather die than let her senior brother forget her.

She would rather die than let him fall for someone else.

“You die!”

Yue Hongling shouted in fury, her fists forming the Mountain Crash Seal, infused with terrifying power, aimed to shatter Shen Xitang into pieces.

Shen Xitang’s lips curled slightly; congratulations, she was the first to launch an attack against her.

The last person to attack her was the Heavenly Dao—didn’t quite count as human.

Shen Xitang gently raised her hand, delicate and beautiful, and lightly met the Mountain Crash Seal.

Lu Ye instantly opened his eyes; even with the System’s concealed aura, he could feel the killing intent.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a colorful figure retreating toward him.

This aura is…

The Heavenly Dao?

No!

It’s…

The System!

Without much thought, Lu Ye caught the girl in front of him.

His intention was to support her, but unexpectedly, she forcefully dove into his embrace.

Wow, this ex-wife is really something; can’t even handle her!

“I’m going to kill you!”

Yue Hongling was completely insane, her figure like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward Shen Xitang, executing the Sky-Rending Seal.

This could be considered the strongest killing move available at Yue Hongling’s current level.

She truly hated Shen Xitang to the core.

Lu Ye’s eyes glinted with killing intent.

Just do it!

He raised his hand, his fist clenched, ready to use Celestial Lord Fist to take down Yue Hongling; it wouldn’t be a disgrace!

Unexpectedly, Shen Xitang grabbed Lu Ye’s arm.

“Brother, it’s all my sister’s fault; don’t blame her, don’t kill her.”

Lu Ye????

Upon hearing the System’s words, Lu Ye’s goosebumps rose on his entire body.

Celestial Lord Fist unfurled, and Lu Ye struck out with a palm.

“Boom!”

Yue Hongling vomited blood and flew backward.

“Lu Ye!”

Yue Hongling lay in the courtyard, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her eyes were filled with despair.

Lu Ye looked at her coldly, still holding Shen Xitang in his arms.

At that moment, Yue Hongling felt that Lu Ye was more distant than ever, distancing to a point that was untouchable and unseeable.

“Senior Brother…”

Yue Hongling’s voice turned pleading.

“Don’t treat me like this; you can’t do this to me.”

Lu Ye suddenly revealed a smile; he couldn’t deny that seeing Yue Hongling like this gave him a twisted sense of pleasure.

What have I done to you?

When I crossed tribulation, with eight Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gus, infused with eight types of poisons.

Primordial Morning Mist—hahaha, this kind of thing is only used to torment those you despise; you can surely use it on him.

Just live! Live well!

Live the most painful life.

“Three breaths, or die!”

Three!

Two!

Yue Hongling got up; she needed to find her Master to reason with her brother; she had to find her Master.

One!

Yue Hongling stumbled awkwardly into the distance.

Master, what to do?

What to do?
