Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Rift
Lu Yichen had no idea what Zhong Niangyao was thinking, but he had no doubt in her words. So, when Zhong Niangyao asked him to retract the strand of Evil Qi from Wei Ruo’s body, he didn’t ask any questions and simply did as told.
Wei Ruo hadn’t even had ti to react when she felt sothing burrowing out of her body. The thing didn’t rely leave her body; wherever it went, it continually destroyed her insides, and the Divine Power within her was incessantly corroded.
The pain she felt this ti was many tis more excruciating than any bout of Evil Qi she had previously experienced; in comparison, those incidents seed like re tickling.
Unable to control herself, Wei Ruo collapsed to the ground, rolling around and screaming in agony, her cries echoing across the heavens.
Those present couldn’t help feeling their hair stand on end at the scene. Just how imnse was the pain that led to such a display? Even those accustod to spectacles were left shivering at this mont.
The only ones who remained calm were Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao.
Lu Yichen took matters into his own hands. He could have directly extracted the Evil Qi.
However, whenever he thought of his and Yaoyao’s past estrangent, the many years of separation, all due to this deceitful and selfish woman before him, even the usually composed Yichen could lose control of his emotions. During the extraction process, he directed the Evil Qi to continuously ravage Wei Ruo’s body, siphoning the Divine Power from her.
He didn’t yet know how Zhong Niangyao planned to deal with Wei Ruo, so he wouldn’t kill her, but he certainly wouldn’t make it easy for her.
Zhong Niangyao glanced at Lu Yichen beside her and instantly understood what he was thinking. Nevertheless, she said nothing.
The reason she wanted the strand of Evil Qi extracted was rely because it belonged to Lu Yichen and it felt odd to leave it within Wei Ruo. Additionally, she experienced an uncomfortable sensation.
Before dealing with Wei Ruo, it was essential for Lu Yichen to reclaim the Evil Qi. She wasn’t concerned about the process; only the result mattered to her.
Of course, it had to be said, the thod Lu Yichen used suited her quite well.
Ti passed, and a wisp of black mist slowly erged from Wei Ruo’s body. Like it had found its ho, it flew straight toward Lu Yichen. In its path, the mist was struck by a beam of white light. There was no apparent effect, as it continued on in its original form after the light passed.
Lu Yichen turned his head, looking at Zhong Niangyao with so confusion.
Because that beam of white light had been cast by Zhong Niangyao.
“Disinfecting.” In a succinct reply, Zhong Niangyao sumd up her intention.
Hearing this, Lu Yichen shook his head with a smile, the tenderness in his eyes unmistakable.
This scene deeply stung the fallen Wei Ruo. Devoid of any strength, the remaining pain made it impossible for her to stand, leaving her to lie on the ground like a puddle of mud. She could feel the Divine Power within her fading to almost nothing.
She didn’t know what fate awaited her next, but seeing the Emperor still treating Yaohui with such tenderness, she couldn’t control the raging fury in her heart. Those poison-laced eyes were fixed firmly on Zhong Niangyao.
If looks could kill, she would have already flayed Yaohui a thousand tis over in her mind.
Soon, Zhong Niangyao felt the spiteful and venomous gaze on her. She looked toward Wei Ruo, her lips curving into a faint smile, “How is it? Do you hate ?”
“Yaohui!” Wei Ruo uttered the na through clenched teeth, “Don’t be so smug. I won’t let you off. I will never let you off.”
By the end, her eyes were as red as blood, the hatred seemingly on the verge of manifesting into sothing tangible.
Faced with such a Wei Ruo, Zhong Niangyao remained unhurried. With a slight smile, she stepped leisurely toward Wei Ruo, looking down at her, disheveled and defeated, “How do you plan on not letting off? Wei Ruo, it seems you still haven’t grasped the reality of your situation!”
“Now, it is I who am unwilling to let you off, not the other way around. Why don’t you guess how I plan to punish you?”
Having said this, the smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face grew even brighter. However, that smile was filled with pure malice. Anyone with clear eyes could see that she harbored ill intentions at this mont.
Initially brimming with hatred, Wei Ruo, upon seeing Zhong Niangyao’s malicious gaze, felt an ill-premonition rising from the depths of her heart, but she still tried to steady her voice, “Yaohui, what do you want to do?”
In fact, not just Wei Ruo, but everyone present was curious how Yaohui intended to deal with Wei Ruo. No, ‘deal with’ wasn’t quite the right term—’punish’ would be more appropriate.
“What I want to do, you should know very well, shouldn’t you?” Zhong Niangyao continued, “Wei Ruo, back then, you sowed discord and even laid traps, causing my Divine Soul to scatter. After I reincarnated, you incited others in the Mortal World to trouble . Now, in order to suppress the Evil Qi within you, you’ve captured many Little Immortals, siphoning their immortal energy.”
“Each and every one of these vile deeds is enough to disperse your Divine Soul forever, never to transcend.”
“Then kill .”
Wei Ruo, having slightly recovered, still appeared frail but forced herself to stand up, refusing to look so pitiable, “Yes, I did it all, but what of it? Even if you kill now, does that erase what happened in the past? Can you forget it?”
“I don’t believe there isn’t any residue in your heart from those years. Even if you’re together now, can the barriers in your hearts truly all disappear?”
“Yaohui, to be able to leave an estrangent between you two, even if just a little bit, I think it’s worth it.”
Seeing Wei Ruo’s frenzied state, the others couldn’t help but feel that she had truly gone mad.
Lu Yichen stepped forward, taking hold of Zhong Niangyao’s hand. Seeing that Zhong Niangyao had no intention of resisting, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Niangyao, of course, also noticed Lu Yichen’s concern. She smiled helplessly and gave Lu Yichen a steadfast look.
Finally, with Zhong Niangyao’s response, Lu Yichen truly let go of his worries.
