243: Are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you...

“You know what? I actually… hate you a little.”

What Jiang Hanxi said was not false; she hated Wang Feng for deceiving her.

She hated Wang Feng for interfering in her tens of thousands of years of peaceful cultivation life, even though he clearly knew they couldn't be together?

However, she had to admit that she had indeed fallen in love with Wang Feng; love ultimately triumphed over hatred.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have continued to be intimate with him in the secret realm after learning about his eighth life.

In fact, she was inexplicably worried that something might happen to him.

That's why she started to get anxious when Huan Tianying confined Wang Feng. It was just an inexplicable anxiety, very inexplicable.

“Huh?”

Wang Feng was stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Hanxi, his face full of confusion, not knowing why she would say such a thing.

“Do you think you had a lot of fun playing me for a fool?”

“Are you planning to first trick me out of the Ice Palace, making me a lone person, so you can carry out some unknown plan?”

“Do you think I don’t know who you are?”

“Do you think I’m utterly stupid?”

“Do you, do you feel very satisfied in your heart that the Empress of the Heavenly Cang Continent, after being severely injured and forced to re-cultivate by you, is now being played around by you?”

Jiang Hanxi’s words were calm and cold, but her eyes were red, extremely dazzling and heartbreaking.

Whose heart was it piercing? Wang Feng’s heart!

Six “Do you” questions directly struck Wang Feng, leaving him rooted to the spot, unable to move even an inch, as if it were as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The six “Do you” questions never explicitly mentioned his eighth life, yet every single one alluded to it.

How could Wang Feng not know by now why Jiang Hanxi had been much colder to him ever since he got drunk?

“Han, Jiang Hanxi… I, I…”

Wang Feng finally came back to his senses after being dazed for a long time, but upon regaining his composure, he found that he… didn’t know how to offer a single word of defense.

He had to admit that he was indeed playing Jiang Hanxi at first. Even if he truly fell in love with her later, he still had to admit it.

“I won’t follow… I’ll send you away in a moment. From now on, we owe each other nothing and have nothing to do with each other. Don’t come looking for me again.”

Jiang Hanxi paused mid-sentence, skipping over that part and directly stating the latter half, but the meaning was already very clear.

Jiang Hanxi did not shed tears. She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, a seemingly normal action, as if dust had gotten into her eyes.

But… how could the eyes of a Breaking Origin Realm expert with unique pupils turn red for mere dust?

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to have solidified. The two of them, one sitting cross-legged and the other standing frozen in place.

It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that Wang Feng finally lowered his head and spoke in a muffled voice:

“I, I’m sorry… I understand…”

Even though Wang Feng knew the outcome, his heart still sank when he heard it.

Actually, this wasn’t fatal, because he had already mentally prepared himself for Jiang Hanxi refusing to leave with him.

It was just that after Jiang Hanxi finished one set of skills, the skills instantly refreshed.

And caught off guard, she delivered another ten thousand-fold critical hit to his heart.

He now felt only endless desolation, emptiness, shortness of breath, and a bitter feeling in his heart that climbed into his mind.

Not only Wang Feng’s arms, but even his entire body was trembling slightly.

After saying his last words, he remained rooted to the spot for a long time, silent, with his head bowed.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to turn and leave immediately, it was just… why did it feel so difficult to even move now?

Jiang Hanxi watched him for a while, then finally averted her gaze and began to suppress the uneasy emotions in her heart.

“Wait here.”

After Jiang Hanxi calmed her emotions, she got up and walked to the door. Creak~ She opened the door and left the room.

She went to calibrate the cross-domain teleportation array plate for Wang Feng. That kind of array plate, which spans two domains, can only be used once.

This was also why Wang Feng never used it again after he had used it.

Jiang Hanxi had to calibrate this kind of array plate herself, but looking at Wang Feng in front of her at this moment, she was afraid her hands would shake, so she could only leave first.

When Jiang Hanxi returned to the room again.

She, who was standing at the door with an array plate in her hand at this moment… could no longer find Wang Feng’s figure, and an endless sense of emptiness immediately washed over her.

“I’m… sorry…”

Jiang Hanxi knew she hadn't done anything wrong, but for some reason, she still lowered her head and murmured an apology.

After standing for a while unknowingly, Jiang Hanxi spoke coldly to the air, her emotions unclear:

“Don’t hide. Are you satisfied now?”

As Jiang Hanxi’s extremely cold voice fell, three figures appeared from the void, looking at each other in dismay.

“He and I are no longer connected. I know his personality. If you dare to seek him out, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

Although Jiang Hanxi only had the aura of a Breaking Origin Realm expert, she could still suppress the three Quasi-Emperors, making them unable to lift their heads and look her directly in the eye.

The Three Supreme Elders could only obediently respond with a “Yes…”

…

Several days later, night fell…

At this moment, Wang Feng, who had used his only Saint-Grade Teleportation Talisman and was transported to an unknown place, was walking hunched over a small path in the forest.

Crystalline tears slid down his handsome face, pattering like raindrops onto the ground.

He no longer dared to face Jiang Hanxi; he even took out the Saint-Grade Teleportation Talisman to run away. This was his last bit of dignity.

But, ironically, this Saint-Grade Teleportation Talisman was given to him by Jiang Hanxi for his own safety, yet he ended up using it to escape from Jiang Hanxi herself.

“System, why didn’t you tell me? She clearly knew all along.”

Wang Feng questioned the System in his heart. He had already asked the System countless times.

However, there wasn’t a trace of blame, because he couldn’t blame anyone. This was all his own karmic debt.

The System remained silent, as if it didn’t dare to respond to him, and he couldn’t blame anyone or anything.

Based on his understanding of the System, it must have seen that Jiang Hanxi didn’t say anything, so it simply didn’t say anything either, to avoid the couple having a quarrel.

But how could it, which didn’t quite understand human emotions, know that the longer this invisible bomb was left unexploded, the greater its power would be!?

Oh, no, they shouldn’t be called a couple now.

Moreover, they were never married, and Jiang Hanxi had never once called him Husband.

Wang Feng suddenly realized that from the very beginning, Jiang Hanxi had never once called him Husband. As for whether she was unwilling, he didn't know.

Those marital titles… were just… his wishful thinking, haha…

“Hahahaha!!”

Wang Feng suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face. The carriage driver, who was sitting in a carriage not far ahead, was startled.

In the middle of the night, she was already afraid of demons and ghosts, and now hearing this sudden maniacal laughter, she instinctively thought of ghosts.

Oh, Mother!! I’m going to die here today! Woo woo woo~
