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

Chapter 208 Love and Hate

"Your intuition is correct. This grand hall was likely built by someone to hone their skills..."

Ji Zhongxuan's words dissipated into the air of the hall as he stepped into the halo.

Forgotten by everyone, Prince Yarrow slowly got up from the ground, looking at the three halos in front of him without any surprise.

However, he did not rush to step inside; instead, he seemed to be waiting for something, looking around.

At this moment, a man with a mustache and a lewd face strode into the hall, holding a precious sword.

"You! You! You! Aren't you already dead?!"

The lewd man glanced sideways at the terrified Prince Arthur, let out a mocking laugh, and rushed straight into the rightmost circle of light without any regard for the situation.

Prince Yaro, both fearful and angry, hid in a corner, afraid that if the other party showed the slightest displeasure, he would turn around and stab him.

Seeing that the person really did enter the circle of light and leave without looking back, he then pointed at the circle of light in uncontrollable rage and shouted curses:

"What are you so arrogant about! What are you so arrogant about! You blasphemous heretics, God will surely punish you and make you all perish here!"

Just as Prince Yarrow stood before the halo, furiously cursing and venting the humiliation and fear he had suffered that day.

A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted behind him, sweeping him aside like a tidal wave.

"Get out of the way!"

The swordsman, cold as ice and exuding an aura that made people afraid to approach, was a step too late.

He followed closely behind the sleazy man and rushed into the circle of light on the right.

Prince Yaro, struck by this powerful internal energy and slammed against the wall, struggled to his feet while coughing up blood.

He leaned against the wall, shaking his head unsteadily, as if the slap had suddenly jolted him awake.

'Oh no! She's in danger! That Princess Shouguang is in cahoots with these people!'

Just as Prince Yaro was about to rush into the central circle of light, a large hand grabbed him tightly from behind.

A strange figure suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost, and at the same time, a clear child's voice rang out from behind the figure:

“Little Prince, Ah Yin told you not to go. Come with me, nothing will happen.”

"Elder...Elder Xiaohua? No, I must go save her!"

Prince Yaro tried to struggle, but was forcibly dragged to the back of the main hall by the newcomer.

……

A blinding white light flashed, and Fei Xi smelled a pungent, strong stench of decay.

She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred, both the sky and the ground beneath her feet seemed to be shrouded in dust, dark and oppressive.

She glanced at Qiu Shuying, who was also looking on in astonishment, cautiously examining everything before her.

They were currently on a gray, gravelly land.

All around were empty plains, with rolling hills faintly visible in the distance.

These mountains, viewed from afar, appear bare, their peaks sharp as the fangs of wild beasts.

There's nothing here, not even a blade of grass...

What on earth is this place?

Before Fei Xi could figure it out, she suddenly felt dizzy and was thrown to the ground, her bones almost breaking apart.

The person who threw her watched with satisfaction as Fei Xi winced in pain, his sinister voice filled with malice:

"Good little sister, what's wrong? Now that you have junior brothers and sisters, you don't want your older sister anymore?"

"Sister, when did you arrive? Is your injury any better?"

Fei Xi's words of concern did not move Qiu Shuying; instead, they enraged her, and she stepped forward and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground again.

"You slut! I'll slash her face and throw her to the wild dogs to be slowly devoured. And your despicable junior brother, I'll tear him to pieces too!"

Fei Xi watched the woman in front of her go crazy with a blank expression. She silently counted from one to ten in her mind, and had just counted to "eight".

Qiu Shuying suddenly stopped, walked up to Fei Xi, gently pulled Fei Xi up, and stroked Fei Xi's face.

"My dear little sister, don't even think about leaving me, okay?"

"If you behave well, I promise I won't hit you again."

Fei Xi didn't immediately respond to these lies, the kind of empty promises made by a scumbag. She lowered her eyes as if in sorrow, only raising them a moment later.

"Don't touch my junior brothers and sisters! As long as you don't hurt them, I can listen to you."

Just as Qiu Shuying was about to say something, a sudden gust of wind swept across the empty land. The wind carried with it faint, mournful cries, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in agony.

"Who is it! Who is playing tricks on me? Show yourself!"

The wind blew louder and louder, completely ignoring Qiu Shuying's words.

Qiu Shuying was so angry that she couldn't control herself. Ignoring her physical discomfort, she gathered her energy in her feet and kicked the sand in front of her, creating a crater two zhang deep.

"Sister Qiu, calm down! Something's not right here; it seems to be affecting people's emotions..."

Before Fei Xi could finish speaking, her body suddenly felt light, and she was lifted into the air by a tremendous force.

Her vision blurred instantly, and she was blown about by the wind, spinning back and forth.

In the last moment before her consciousness faded, she seemed to see a giant silver dragon flying towards her.

……

Fei Xi was awakened by a quarrel. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in this strange place, surrounded by a gray haze.

The difference is that she seems to have been blown up the mountain by the hurricane.

Fei Xi lay amidst the jagged rocks, her figure obscured by the stones. Her body ached terribly, as if it had been repeatedly crushed by heavy objects, making it difficult for her to get up.

Not far from her, on the edge of a steep cliff, a man and a woman were arguing.

Blood continued to spill from the woman's mouth. Severely injured, she was too weak to rise and deliver the fatal blow to the man. All she could do was curse him bitterly.

"You dog! When have I ever mistreated you? If I hadn't taken you in, you would probably have been killed by stray dogs while fighting for food."

"I gave you food and took you in, not to mention I made an exception for you and taught you the martial arts of the Peach Blossom Spring Sect!"

"And how have you repaid me? Not only did you disobey my orders, but you even dared to hunt me down! You are simply a disgrace to the martial world, an ungrateful and despicable villain. How dare you live a better life than me? What right do you have to stop being kind to me!"

"Hahaha..." The hoarse voice let out an extremely unpleasant burst of maniacal laughter, like the wailing of a demon.

The man, who was also lying motionless on the ground, suddenly stopped his shrill laughter:

"You'll save me? Do you think I don't know that you were the one who ordered those vicious dogs to bite me back then?"

"Take me in? You're only doing it because I'm lucky I didn't get bitten to death by dogs. You just happen to need a servant you can call on and dismiss at will."

"You even said you would teach me martial arts. You deliberately taught me the wrong secrets of internal energy, just to see what would happen if someone practiced the Flying Flower Kick in reverse and went into a qi deviation. I practiced the secrets you gave me and my meridians reversed. If it weren't for my senior brother Qiu Xinjun saving me in time, I would probably have died long ago."

"Damn it! So he was the one who saved you back then? No wonder your martial arts improved so rapidly back then; you two were secretly colluding behind my back all along!" The woman cursed, then suddenly realized something and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, your senior brother has done you a great favor, yet you actually listened to me and did such a despicable thing. You are truly a shameless scoundrel!"

The man made no attempt to hide his past. Gazing at the gray sky, he mocked himself, saying:

"Yes, I am despicable and shameless! I am ungrateful!"

"It was wishful thinking on my part. Back then, I always hoped that you would glance at me, that you would recognize my worth, and that you wouldn't abandon me. Even if I were to fall into hell and repay my benefactor with enmity, I would still wholeheartedly want to complete your orders and make you happy."

"However, I was wrong. Someone like you doesn't deserve anyone's love."

"Shut up! What's so special about your love? You lowlife, you're nothing but a dog I keep, you're not worthy of me!"

"Do you think that just because you now wield immense power and are second only to the emperor, I will regret it? You've only changed masters since you started serving me, and you're still groveling and begging for favors."

"You think you can mock me just because you have many women? Every one of your women is after your money and power."

"A lackey like you who only knows how to grovel will never be truly loved by anyone, much less treated well by anyone!"

"What are you afraid of?" No matter how the woman insulted him, the man's face remained calm as he calmly retorted:

"Does sincerity really matter? They willingly follow me because I can give them what they want. Are you so concerned about whether they truly love me because you're jealous of them?"

"Or is it that you still can't get over the humiliation of being outshone by a courtesan?"

"Shut up! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Ignoring the lacerations from her knife wounds, the woman struggled to her feet.

She was determined to kill the man in front of her, the man she hated most in her life!
