Capter 269

She feigned ignorance, while Zhou Yimei remained sorrowful throughout, as if she had lost all hope for the future.

It was only when she turned to leave that she finally revealed a tiny crack in her facade.

There was a question that had been bothering Ning Ning for a long time.

Since no one knew the whereabouts of Demon Lord Xie Yu, it was clear that he hadn’t been subdued by the sect elders.

Given that, if this place was truly his illusion—

Then who was the one who defeated him and sent him into the Demon Refining Tower?

The moment she sensed that trace of sword energy, the answer had already begun to emerge.

As a normal person, after losing her entire family and being imprisoned without dignity in a confined space, could she really abandon the past and engage in a dramatic love-hate relationship with her enemy?

Unless there was something wrong with her head, she’d be better off taking a left turn to the neurology department at the hospital.

Moreover, Zhou Yimei was born a spirit, and her family possessed secret techniques passed down through generations.

Everything Xie Yu had, she had too.

And what Xie Yu couldn’t obtain, she could easily acquire.

In terms of race, talent, or education, this young lady far surpassed him.

As for why Xie Yu specifically chose to break only her right hand…

Ning Ning’s eyelid twitched.

Breaking a sword cultivator’s swordhand was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for her.

How ruthless.

The realm of sadomasochism romances was truly a strange one.

A perfectly fine young woman being tortured and humiliated, reduced to someone everyone could take a stab at, yet still obsessed with love or lack thereof.

As long as she heard some hollow “I love you” from the so-called “reformed prodigal son,” she would throw away all the pain of the past.

The significance of the entire story may only be to showcase how tenacious human vitality is and how the radiance of the Virgin Mary illuminates the earth.

But why degrade yourself by digging for a boyfriend in the garbage dump? Is it because he’s as stupid as a pig, has a harem of three thousand women, and possesses a third-rate, pitifully shriveled brain that makes you feel compelled to “uplift” him out of pity?

—Of course not!

Why bind your entire life to the trivialities of love and relationships? In times like this, the only desire should be to seek revenge for yourself and your family.

Ning Ning’s gaze lingered in the direction where the white figure had disappeared, and she smiled as she rocked back on her heels, saying, “There might be quite a show coming up.”

The scene she had just witnessed remained vivid in her mind.

It was as if she could still see the glimmer of light in Zhou Yimei’s eyes as she turned to leave.

Neither meek nor filled with resentment, what had flashed in those dark pupils was a resolute sword energy.

And an unrelenting, icy intent to kill.
