He carefully placed the person on the bed, seeing her wanting to speak but unable to, a surge of suppression churned in his heart.
Xiao Jinghuai stroked her face, looked at her, but asked the woman who was sitting on the ground in a ss, "I suddenly thought of another way to save you, directly take to see the Holy Emperor, it’s ti to make an end."
Su Ting sneered, her face showing blue veins from enduring pain, "You think... the Holy Emperor is soone you can et as you wish? You don’t have that qualification. Get that out of your head, I won’t take you to see him, even if you kill , I won’t!"
"As long as he’s around for a day, you two can’t be together eternally, just thinking about it makes one happy, ugh..."
Before she could fully enjoy the mont, Su Ting felt the pain throughout her body was so intense it was as though her liver and gall had split, wishing she could end it herself.
Xiao Jinghuai caressed the face of the person on the bed, yet asked Su Ting, "Does it hurt a lot? There’s a saying that says better to live rags than die well. What’s good about staying in this Taohuawu, the world outside is colorful and vibrant. As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can grant you freedom. You’re still young, it’s not worth burying yourself in such a decaying place."
"Don’t make it sound so good, how good can the world outside be?" Su Ting retorted coldly, "Without money, you’re nothing, trampled by others. But here, with the Holy Emperor’s protection, you have nothing to fear, you can enjoy the worship of countless people."
Xiao Jinghuai gazed intently, "What’s the difference between that and a puppet? Even if you’re below one but above thousands here, you’re still a puppet in soone’s hand. Out in the world, you can be reborn, gain real... dignity."
Dignity!
This is sothing those in Taohuawu don’t have, or very rarely.
Because the system here doesn’t require it, nor do they need it.
But over ti, they find dignity is like opium.
Having it once, you desire more, more tis—
Su Ting always thought she had strong willpower, yet now she felt like an old opium addict, trembling as she asked, "Is the outside really that good?"
Xiao Jinghuai knew she was wavering but didn’t rush, "That depends on how you understand it, at least... better than this."
Su Ting was the child of a death row prisoner in Taohuawu, but she was luckier than others for not having to sell her body, instead becoming a servant.
The world outside was not only unfamiliar to her, it also ant another way of life.
Another way of life?
"Ha, don’t think you can persuade , I won’t fall for it." Su Ting gasped, "I’ll just watch you, watch you separated by life and death, that’s the real pleasure, truly reborn—"
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t expect this woman to be so obsessed to a certain degree, he snorted coldly, directly lifted Song Song from the bed, walked to her front, "Truly foolish beyond asure, then you stay here and wait for death!"
Seeing him leave with soone, Su Ting imdiately got agitated, trying to force herself up from the ground, but couldn’t move, exerting any force made her whole body tighten in pain, "...You, don’t go, don’t leave, you’re my man, you’re my man."
Xiao Jinghuai looked down at the person in his arms, one eyebrow slightly raised, "I guess your great-grandfather has no normal people under his command, they’re all lunatics, right?"
Song Song thought: Is this to bla her?
Great-grandfather was originally a body where gods and demons coexist, being both righteous and evil, how could his subordinates be any good?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but connect herself, Feng Yichen, Bai Jiayin, and Lan Yuzhe who was taken away by Mu Zanting—
What do they count for?
Could it be they have also been influenced by so mysterious forces and changed?
It’s just that they themselves haven’t realized it yet.
