I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 209 The ever-increasing negative emotions

The man watched indifferently as the woman got up, then fell down again. There was no trace of the infatuation he had once claimed to have felt for her; instead, his sarcasm was even more pronounced.

"Your fiancé would rather have a prostitute than you; it seems you're really holding a grudge."

"What do you know!" The woman gritted her teeth fiercely, even though the pain felt like her internal organs were being torn apart. She stubbornly endured the pain and got up again, cursing:

"You stinking man! As the young lady of the Peach Blossom Sect, I have as many as I want. Is your love worth anything? Aren't you all just a bunch of cheap sluts who fawn over any woman who flaunts her looks!"

"Just because I am a woman and he is a man, even though I am no less capable than him, the elders all favor him to succeed my father as the sect leader."

"Why? Why can't I be the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect!"

"I originally intended to trick him into my possession, then cripple him, at which point the Peach Blossom Sect would be mine for the taking! Who knew he would actually do this!"

The woman's chest heaved violently; even after so many years, the memory still infuriated her.

"He actually gave up the position of sect leader to retire from the martial world with a slut who has been with a thousand men and ridden by ten thousand."

"How dare he insult me ​​like that? I'll make him pay for this humiliation!"

As the woman was cursing, she suddenly remembered something and burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, he wouldn't even give up the position of Peach Blossom Sect leader. The slut he treated like a treasure still willingly slept with you. This kind of slut who gets weak in the knees when she sees a man committing a crime and being hunted down by the entire martial arts world, immediately abandons her husband and children and latches onto other men. I bet she'll be filled with regret when she dies!"

"Ha, I will make all those who betrayed me go to hell to repent!"

The man watched silently as the woman vented her anger, waiting for her to finish her tirade. His face darkened. He thought of the upright and honest man he had wronged throughout his life, who, on her deathbed, was still willing to forgive him and give her the chance to live to his senior brother. His expression was complex as he slowly spoke:

"Senior Brother did not give up his position as sect leader for Chu Lian'er."

"what?"

"Senior Brother has always known that you want the position of sect leader. He feels very sorry for breaking off the engagement without cause and damaging your reputation. Even though all the elders think that you are too radical, ruthless and unfit for great things, he still tries his best to protect you and wants the elders to give you a chance."

"You know perfectly well that it would be the best outcome for you if your senior brother withdrew from the selection of sect leader. Yet, for your own selfish grudges, you falsely accused your senior brother of colluding with the Demonic Sect, disregarding the interests of the entire sect. This is the real reason why you can only become Elder Qiu and not Sect Leader Qiu."

"Do you think I'll regret saying that? Even if he truly cares for me, so what? He dares to betray me, and he'll have to bear my wrath. Since the elders look down on me, why should I consider their interests? I'd rather betray the world than let anyone betray me!"

The woman raised her head arrogantly, as haughty and conceited as ever.

The man gave a self-deprecating smirk. He knew all along what kind of woman she was; no matter how many years passed, she would never change.

She has killed countless people, and she would never look back.

Instead, they'll complain that the other person isn't cooperating enough, that they've been played to death by her, and that she can't just move the burial site herself. They'll think she's just trying to pollute her eyes and cause her trouble.

But why does a sense of disappointment still linger in his heart?

Just as the man remained silent, the woman suddenly lunged forward, her palms as red as blood.

The plum blossom imprinted itself, leaving a red mark on the palm; the plum blossom palm, surging with immense internal energy, aimed straight for the man's heart!

"You traitor! Why can't you always listen to me? Why did you betray me? Why can't you be my servant for life? Just a little bit more... just a little bit more..."

A curse accompanied by a sharp whistling sound arrived in an instant. The man had no way to dodge and was about to die under the palm.

The palm strike stopped halfway through its flight.

Fei Xi didn't see how the man made his move; with lightning speed, the blade pierced straight through the woman's heart.

Blood trickled down the sharp blade, staining the woman's palm even more crimson.

The woman remained in a forward-leaning position until her death, making hoarse sounds in her throat. After staggering a couple of steps, she fell into the man's arms.

"Why...why...?" Her beautiful face showed no fear of impending death, but rather resentment and grievance that seeped into her eyes, wetting the strands of hair on her cheeks.

"You want to ask why I have the antidote for the Disabling Powder, right?"

"Do you really think I would let you live like this for so many years just because of a promise? You should think about how many people have been eyeing that ship you stole."

"No... almost..."

Large tears streamed down the soft contours of her face and fell onto the man's clothes...

With these last words, the woman breathed her last in the man's arms, her heart filled with resentment.

What's missing?

Men don't want to ask, nor do they want to know, why women end up crying.

……

"How long are you going to hide on the sidelines and watch?"

"Lord Cui, you can pretend I'm not here."

Fei Xi touched her nose and crawled out from behind the pile of rocks.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stand up, but her legs were still too weak to get up.

And the situation is too awkward right now.

Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know. Now that she's heard so much, will Cui Chou kill her to silence her?!

Yes, the man and woman who just had a fight that escalated to the point of mutual destruction were Qiu Shuying and Cui Chou.

She learned some details about their love-hate relationship from Cui Chou in her previous life, by chance.

This time, I listened to a live version.

An age-old truth: Knowing too much can really kill you...

"What's with that look? Do you think I'm going to kill you to silence you?"

"What are you saying, Lord Cui? You killed my maid, and I won't hold it against you." Fei Xi pretended to be stupid.

Under the other person's speechless gaze, she adopted a professional demeanor and forcefully changed the subject:

"This place is very strange. It amplifies people's negative emotions and makes them lose control and do some irrational things. Lord Cui, there's no time to lose. Come and help me up. I'll try to find a way to leave here."

"You think I shouldn't have killed her?" Cui Chou raised an eyebrow, clearly understanding that the little girl was giving him a way out while simultaneously calling him brainless.

"Lord Cui's martial arts are unparalleled, and his reputation for slaughtering across the land is known throughout the world. Who you want to kill is not something a weak woman like me can stop."

"I was just thinking that the fact that the ship could remain unscathed under the nose of the Spirit Hall for so many years must mean that there is someone with even greater power behind it than Elder Qiu. And the fact that Elder Qiu could control all the ship's wealth under their control must mean that he possesses their most important secret."

"These matters haven't been clarified yet, and Elder Qiu has already died. These secrets she held may very well be buried with her, which is such a pity."

Fei Xi sighed as she spoke, then secretly whispered in a voice so the other person could hear, raising her hand to her lips as if telling someone a secret, and muttered a complaint:

"Alas, poor Elder Qiu was thinking about someone's betrayal before she died, but that person ruthlessly destroyed her. Tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs."

"Betrayal? This 'good sister' of hers emptied her life savings vault. That's what betrayal is. You should be glad she died before she found out, otherwise, you'd be waiting for your most cherished sect to be slaughtered!"

As Cui Chou spoke, his gaze turned cold, and he let out a series of sneers:

"Now that Qiu Shuying is dead, isn't that exactly what you all wanted to see? As for what secrets she had, someone else will investigate. It's none of your business, a little girl like you."

Fei Xi hated nothing more than being threatened or looked down upon by people using her sect as a pretext. Cui Chou's actions, which directly attacked both of them, immediately made her unhappy.

"Lord Cui, you're also extremely envious of your former master's treasury. People say that unrequited love can drive people mad, but no one says that unrequited love can be either deep or fake. If Lord Cui truly can't bear to part with his former master, he should just slit his own throat. I guarantee I'll personally dig a pit and bury you two lovebirds together. If you couldn't be together in life, you'll be buried together in death. I'm sure Lord Cui will be very happy. You wouldn't just find some excuse to smear someone else after you just killed them, would you?"

The drawn Aoxue Blade unleashed a torrent of killing intent, yet its master forcefully suppressed it.

"You! You're perfectly fine!"

Cui Chou left behind this seemingly severing ties again, then carried Qiu Shuying's body away.

Fei Xi clutched her pounding heart and held her forehead.

"We really can't stay here any longer!"
