Chapter 653: I Apologize to You

Meeting An Li this time was completely different from before.

When the Dark Clan was wiped out, An Li didn’t die—not because Lu Ye couldn’t kill her, but because he truly couldn’t.

What kind of person was An Li?

Everything she painstakingly arranged couldn’t possibly be merely to welcome the arrival of the Dark Origin God.

Everything she did was only for herself.

So she must have left herself an escape route.

And now, although her plans were challenging, they had reached their end.

Unfortunately, it still ended in failure.

Even the Dark Origin God perished in the relentless onslaught, and now An Li had no means left.

She was left with just this thin, frail soul.

This soul was intentionally left by Lu Ye.

If it weren’t for him deliberately holding back, that last punch would have definitely shattered her True Spirit.

An Li was watching Lu Ye too.

How to describe the look in her eyes? It’s honestly hard to put into words; it was too complex.

But the predominant emotion was probably despair.

Her gaze was vacant.

Today, An Li truly experienced the extremes of joy and sorrow.

The joy was that she had defeated Lu Ye face-to-face; the sorrow was that Lu Ye had let her win on purpose.

“Husband…”

Lu Ye’s eyes were cold as ice.

“This is it; don’t let me down!”

An Li’s soul quivered slightly.

All her pleas for mercy got stuck in her throat.

An Li actually wanted to ask if her husband could forgive her this time, because no matter how extreme her actions had been in the past life, Lu Ye would always forgive her.

But at the moment Lu Ye’s icy voice echoed, An Li was yanked back into reality.

The Lu Ye before her was no longer the husband of her past life.

“Lu Ye! In the end, the victor and the vanquished have nothing more to say.” An Li took a deep breath and raised her head proudly.

Though she had faced many failures, reaching this point meant she had no regrets in death!

“Whether my soul shatters completely or merges into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, I bear no grievances!”

Lu Ye nodded with a smile.

Now that’s more like it!

That’s An Li!

Don’t lose face at the end!

So Lu Ye extended his palm, conjuring a puff of white mist.

It was the Primordial Morning Mist!

An Li, ready to face death gallantly, froze in her tracks.

“Lu Ye, killing people is just a bump in the road. Do you want to torture me? Torturing your Dao Companion like this—are you even a man?”

An Li’s voice shot up, panic bubbling over.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime honor; you should feel proud!”

Speaking of which, it is indeed just a bump in the road.

When Lu Ye killed Chu Ling, Jiang Die, Vermilion Bird, and Bai Qiulan, he never had any thoughts of torture.

Because, for him, torture held no meaning. After all, once they entered the Emperor’s Banner, all torment was gently soothed, making it meaningless.

But dealing with An Li was different.

Among these eight women, he had truly missed An Li for a long time.

If only he didn’t have insomnia; he would surely be sleepless by now.

The other women who were poisoned were at least partially coerced.

You could say they were foolish, but they were not Lu Ye’s mortal enemies.

But An Li was different.

She was the mastermind. Although her betrayal had some cause rooted in the traps Lu Ye laid, he owed no debt to Chu Ling, Bai Qiulan, or Yue Hongling, but he owed no such debt to An Li.

He saved her from the Dark Clan.

Ever since then, An Li hadn’t suffered any hardships; instead, she thrived alongside Lu Ye.

She wanted for nothing, and even when throwing tantrums, Lu Ye tolerated her, possibly due to her troubled background.

Lu Ye had nothing to feel guilty about regarding An Li.

But An Li sparked this betrayal.

An Li was the perpetrator, the root cause, Lu Ye’s true enemy—the grudge of blocking the Dao, the grudge of betrayal, the grudge of killing!

The Primordial Morning Mist was just the first kind.

A strand of Chaos Yin Power blossomed.

A thread of Heavenly Zombie Poison.

A wisp of Aroma of Achievement in Dao.

A glimmer of True Meaning of Annihilation.

A petal of Slaughter Lotus.

A wave of Reincarnation Obsession.

Seven kinds, all appeared before An Li.

Except for the Dark Beginning Insect Seal which was completely erased, Lu Ye held onto a bit of the other poisons.

With this, An Li could thoroughly enjoy everything Lu Ye once experienced.

In truth, this little bit of poison was nothing to An Li; it was like the Reincarnation Obsession—just a wisp. What kind of impact could that have?

Normally, it wouldn’t cause any impact at all.

But you must know there’s something that can pair with it.

That’s the Primordial Morning Mist.

The function of the Primordial Morning Mist is to amplify a person’s pain exponentially.

This lingering Reincarnation Obsession could allow An Li to endure boundless suffering intertwined with obsession, far worse than what Lu Ye had suffered.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

This is how Lu Ye shows his best affection for An Li.

As for what regrets she may have on her deathbed? An Li had no regrets; she wouldn’t admit she was wrong; she would only think she lost.

But that’s just fine.

You play, you pay.

Since she lost, she must bear the price of losing!

“No, Husband, you can’t do this to me, you can’t do this to me!”

“You put me into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; I’m willing to enter it to repent. You can’t torture me like this! You can’t!”

These eight poisons, apart from the Reincarnation Obsession, were all carefully selected by An Li and Yin Qingcheng. No one knew better than her how terrifying these poisons were.

So now these poisons appeared before An Li.

She was truly terrified.

Lu Ye, however, ignored An Li’s pleas for mercy, fully aware that if he lost and begged for mercy from her, An Li would definitely not forgive him.

What he was doing now was merely returning her method of treatment back to her.

This way, both sides could finally be even.

In an instant, An Li’s soul was frozen by the Soul-Breaking Chaos Yin Power.

A variety of poisons surged into the Chaos Yin Power.

An Li let out a piercing scream.

“No, no, no! No!”

“Husband, Lu Ye!”

“I was wrong; I apologize to you!”

“I apologize! I’m sorry! I was wrong!”

The resilient An Li chose to apologize.

Lu Ye sighed helplessly.

“I will not forgive!”

The Primordial Morning Mist suddenly shot toward An Li.

When the Primordial Morning Mist completely enveloped her soul, An Li let out the most anguished scream.

The pain begins!
