Policies for Evil Soul Masters Serving Their Sentences; Evil Emperor: My Life Has Been Like Walking on Thin Ice

"Mu En!!"

Ye Xishui's expression visibly twisted, and even the Aura of Light lingering around her soul dimmed.

Long Xiaoyao finally reacted.

"Xishui, is that really true? Even now, you're still lying to me? You... do you really love me?"

His face turned deathly pale, and his breathing noticeably quickened.

Ye Xishui fell silent for a moment. She knew her plan had failed.

There was no point pretending any longer.

She suddenly burst into mad laughter. It was shrill and grating, filled with resentment and venom.

"So what!?"

"Yes, Mu En was right. Long Xiaoyao, I was deceiving you. I did love you once, but I changed long ago."

"You're a complete fool!" She pointed at Long Xiaoyao, her eyes full of contempt. "If you'd been more forceful back then, if you'd saved the fallen me, perhaps I might have turned back. But you didn't!"

"You just watched me kill, watched me sink deeper and deeper, and never once stopped me! So everything that's happened now was caused by you too!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Turn away from evil and return to righteousness? I have no regrets! The path of an Evil Soul Master is what I truly wanted from the bottom of my heart!"

Watching Ye Xishui completely lose her mind, Long Xiaoyao was in unbearable pain. Tears streamed down his aged face, and it felt as though his heart had been torn open.

Hollow and empty.

Yes. If he had been more forceful back then, if he had seen the truth sooner, how could things have ended up like this?

But nothing could be undone.

He had never imagined that the woman who had deceived him for more than a hundred years would still be lying to him even now.

Such endless lies...

Was he really so insignificant in her heart?
