Chapter 543: Yin Qingcheng’s Monologue

Yin Qingcheng forced a sorrowful smile.

“When I was young, I was a disciple of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace. Due to my exceptional talent and dedication to cultivation, the sect intended for me to become the Saintess, which made me train even harder.”

“The cultivation methods of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace are different from standard practices. At the moment of merging with the Dao, everyone has to follow the Ultimate Emotion Dao, but when reaching the Imperishable Realm, a choice must be made between the Ultimate Emotion Dao or the Forgetful Emotion Dao; this is a crucial tribulation point of the Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra.”

“Back then, I was exceptionally gifted and looked down on my peers; there was no one I cared for, so I chose to practice the Forgetful Emotion Dao.”

“I once thought my life was solely about pursuing the Dao, but unexpectedly, one day, I met my husband.”

Yin Qingcheng gazed at Lu Ye with eyes so gentle they could melt anyone.

“That day, under the peach tree of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace, I was practicing my swordsmanship. You appeared out of nowhere, and at that moment, I was so absorbed that when I glimpsed your face, I assumed you were a lecher, and I struck at you in anger.”

“But I never expected your strength to be so far beyond that of your peers. When I heard you were invited by the sect, I felt a mix of defiance and curiosity.”

“Later, I learned your name and your story, filling me with disdain because I despised frivolous people. In this world, it should be one man and one woman; if two hearts can’t fully give themselves to each other, what kind of love is that?”

“I originally thought I would never see you again, but unexpectedly, I was hunted by the Demon Clan and you saved me.”

“I remember how you held my waist, drawing your sword as demons fell before us; in your arms, I caught a glimpse of your profile.”

“At that moment, I regretted practicing the Forgetful Emotion Dao instead of the Ultimate Emotion Dao.”

“But the path is set; I cannot change it.”

“Later on, we experienced so much together.”

“I truly love you more than anything, even though I can’t stand that you have so many women. I can’t tolerate your kindness towards them being the same as yours to me; yet, I endure.”

“I thought if I loved you enough, you would love me the most. I poured out all my efforts to love you, even if it meant dying for you.”

“But you still don’t love me more than them. In your eyes, we are all equal; clearly, I gave you my deepest affection while those women include Shangguan Huanling, a waste who has turned her emotional path into nothing.”

“Yue Hongling has her heart set on that ridiculous Feng Wuxie.”

“Bai Qiulan is hypocritical, constantly imposing guilt upon you.”

“Jiang Die is ambitious, simply using you to grow stronger.”

“The Vermilion Bird can’t discern right from wrong and trusts you not at all.”

“An Li has her own agenda, nurturing a treacherous wolf.”

“Chu Ling doesn’t grasp what’s good or bad, always causing trouble.”

“None of these women are even normal; what right do they have to win your love?”

“I am the one who loves you wholeheartedly; why should they be deemed worthy of sharing your love with me?”

“To me, they are all undeserving!”

“But I really love you. Even knowing they don’t deserve it, I understand that once I expose them, you still won’t be able to let go. You will bear all the pain yourself.”

“I have been enduring!”

“Yet every time I see their foolishness, every time I witness their harm towards you, my patience weakens. I can’t fathom how these women have received a love I yearn for while behaving like this.”

“I can’t imagine how deep of a hell my husband is in.”

“Your strength keeps growing, yet I can sense your heart suffering deeply, already riddled with wounds.”

“In the end, I couldn’t hold back anymore.”

“So, I must eradicate the creatures that hurt your heart, consume your flesh, and drink your blood. I have only one chance. That is when you cross the tribulation to become a Saint.”

“I can’t imagine if you truly become a Saint, those filthy people will be forever by your side; how much you would suffer. Seeing your pain, I would fall into an even deeper agony.”

“So, I devised a plan: to make us all betray you. I didn’t want to betray you, but I had to set an example for them to believe.”

“Thus, I used the Aroma of Achievement in Dao.”

“The Aroma of Achievement in Dao won’t harm you; it will only draw everyone watching your tribulation towards you.”

“Husband, do you know? I told them this Aroma could shatter your Guarding the Great Dao, and they stupidly thought it was a brutal move.”

“Hahaha…”

“Little did they know, when your Guarding the Great Dao shatters, every single one of them will die!”

“And husband, do you know? The one truly worth your protection has long since perished in battle. After all we’ve endured, those grateful to you are all dead.”

“Those who remain, who call themselves your friends, are all just stabbing you in the heart under your protection.”

“They deserve to be slaughtered by you!”

“Husband, cutting off rotten flesh requires a swift knife; though it pains for a moment, it is a lasting relief.”

“But I know, I was wrong.”

“I was wrong, husband. I shouldn’t have been so jealous, yet it was out of love that I didn’t want to share your love with others. I want all of your love for myself.”

“I was wrong, husband. Betrayal is betrayal, no matter if it’s for your sake; it’s still betrayal.”

“I was wrong. When you asked me whether I was cultivating the Forgetful Emotion Dao or the Ultimate Emotion Dao, I lied to you because I feared losing you.”

“Whether it’s the Forgetful or the Ultimate, I have poured all my strength into loving you.”

“Husband, how could you forget me!”

Yin Qingcheng cried out in anguish.

She truly felt an unbearable pain.

Everything she’d done, asking her heart, was for Lu Ye’s good, and now she realized she was wrong.

Even for Lu Ye’s sake, she shouldn’t have betrayed or concealed the truth.

Shen Xitang listened to Yin Qingcheng’s entire monologue, her expression turning grave.

Not good!

Another powerful enemy.

Everything that happened in the last life and this life, through Yin Qingcheng’s words, turned into a favorable narrative for her.

In her words, Yin Qingcheng was truly the one who loved Lu Ye most, without comparison.

The love from the entire world combined couldn’t surpass the love Yin Qingcheng had for Lu Ye.

Lu Ye furrowed his brow.
