Lying at the edge of the cliff, tears ceaselessly welled up and spilled from her eyes, like pearls falling off a broken string, dropping down the cliffside. Her face was deathly pale, and her chest heaved violently, but those dazzling eyes suddenly ignited with light.

She staggered to her feet, her blue gown swirling around her stately figure like proud bamboo. With her cold gaze, she coldly stared at Dugu Mo’s hideously distorted face, emanating an aura as if she were a corpse.

Dugu Mo, looking at the eerily calm Feng Xuxu in front of him, felt as if he were facing the King of Hell crawling out from the depths of hell to claim his soul. A sudden spike of fear raced his heart, and a deep sinking feeling overwhelmed him. Half-rising from where he had fallen, his eyes filled with panic, his body trembling like chaff, he slowly backed away. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

On the other side, the Demon Lord, who had been knocked down, stared at Feng Xuxu with shock in his eyes. The unpredictable look in his eyes revealed his astonishment at her composure after Dugu Chen fell off the cliff. Panic surged within him as he recalled their battle in the forest that year, her mysterious martial arts, and those venomous snakes that had appeared. Now with the vivid memory haunting him and his body seriously injured, he knew he had to avoid the imminent danger, not to mention the several guards fierce like wolves. His mind raced with thoughts, and seizing the moment when she was not paying attention to him, he rose and vanished with a few swift moves.

Feng Xuxu merely lifted her eyes slightly, her calm gaze devoid of any emotion, leaving even her maid, who had been by her side for many years, without a clue to her thoughts.

Slowly closing her eyes, her lips parted to utter the chilling words,"Just torture me."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Mo burst into wild laughter,"Hahaha, Feng Xuxu, how do you like my gift? Isn’t it unforgettable, etched deep into your bones for a lifetime?" His voice was a mix of foolishness and madness as he yelled at Feng Xuxu.

Tian Yi, with bloodshot eyes, grabbed the limp body of his victim and started to systematically carve with a sharp dagger, each slice meticulously executed.

Dugu Mo’s twisted, grotesque face watched Feng Xuxu,"What now, you don’t feel pain, you’re not upset? For your sake, Dugu Chen once massacred my Prince Mo Residence. And now you have the audacity to live, hahaha, Dugu Chen, open your dog’s eyes and look at the serpent-hearted, cold and heartless woman you married, treasuring her for nothing."

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Dugu Mo’s mocking face, paying him no heed as she turned and walked to the edge of the cliff, gazing down the unfathomable depths as tears silently fell.

She reached out to touch her flat belly, where the seed of their love still resided, doing her best to control the rage, sorrow, despair, and panic within her heart.

Quietly speaking to the person at the bottom of the cliff, she said,"Chen, wait for me. I won’t let you lie there all alone."

Mei Lenglei’s eyes, red with worry, anxiously watched the princess,"Your Highness, you must stay strong." She was carrying the sole heir of the Prince, and the concern in his voice was evident as Mei Lenglei watched her without blinking.

"Has someone been sent down to search?" she asked in a chilling voice, turning her head to look at Mei Lenglei.

Mei Lenglei nodded, his voice choked with tears,"The search began immediately, Anhu led the people."

Bending, she picked up Xiaobai and left without looking back.

Upon seeing this, several maids followed the princess, leaving behind a few guards who began to deal with the dead bodies. Only Tian Yi was scrupulously scraping at the bloodied body in his hands, his rage incessant as he watched the dying man struggling. His hand, precise with every cut, bestowed upon the victim the agony of a thousand slices, and then in the silent night, the man would watch his own blood slowly ebb away until death came silently.
