Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Cuckolded to the Extreme
"To die with you, I am very satisfied."
His life, Ling Yue, was never self-proclaimed as a good person. He had been in charge of Lingyou Hall for many years, a prominent figure in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, commanding the clouds and rain. At his level, he no longer needed anyone’s input on what he wanted or didn’t want. So after meeting Xia Ji, he didn’t care about anything anymore; he just wanted to possess and cherish this woman.
Just a beauty, he also thought, maybe one day, he’d get tired of her. After all, men love novelty, and this wasn’t anything new.
But his affection for Xia Ji lasted for decades, unconditional; whatever she did, he would stand by her side unconditionally.
Just like five years ago, he didn’t care about that old man Yun Zi; it didn’t matter whether Lingyou Hall or Spirit Flame Sect was stronger. Lingyou Hall’s status wasn’t something the Spirit Flame Sect could threaten, so who came first was utterly meaningless.
As long as she was happy, he’d go along with her.
Even when she wanted to come to the Xia Clan, although he was worried, as long as he could be with her, he still followed.
He wished for nothing else, only that she would return with him.
If she didn’t return, him going back alone would be pointless.
So, death it is, even if dying, he still felt satisfied, being with her was enough.
To die with you, I am very satisfied.
In Xia Ji’s life, she went through too much, endured too much, even her psyche had twisted a long, long time ago. Han Jing was not wrong at all, when it came down to it, she was indeed a selfish person, so she never cared about others’ feelings, nor did she consider whether she was right or wrong.
She always felt she had indeed done many wrong things, had wronged many people, but when had heaven ever been fair to her? Compared to the sufferings she bore, what’s wrong with retaliating against those who made her unhappy?
She had never been moved by anything or anyone.
Including when her father threatened with his life to die for her, Xia Qingcheng saving her life yet living a lifetime of loneliness, she never felt a moment, not even a trace, of emotion. She always thought, if they hadn’t done what they did, how could she have become what she did later? So those emotions were too heavy for her, so heavy that they repressed her into madness, she truly could not feel moved.
But the one she never took to heart, Ling Yue, merely a tool for amusement and exploiting his power for a carefree life, his expression of "to die with you, I am very satisfied" actually moved her to tears. Even at this moment, she could surprisingly feel her heart beating.
Back then, leaving the Xia Clan, meeting the former emperor of Nanyao Country, who thought her extraordinary and cherished her, she went with the flow to become his concubine, as revenge against Xia Qingcheng. She just wanted to betray him; she could leave and find other men, while he could never find another woman, how delightful!
And later, she abandoned Su Yu in the Liangshan Snow Forest to fend for himself and left Nanyao Country for the Spirit Cultivation Realm, encountering Ling Yue. Her state of mind then was the same, just looking for the next person, wanting to cover Xia Qingcheng’s head in a field of green grass, and that made her satisfied!
