You'll Lose Us This Way

"After I successfully evolved into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, a new consciousness was actually born."

"Could it be the soul of the Violet Nether Flame Serpent?"

Medusa's expression turned solemn, but she quickly returned to normal, lounging lazily where she sat.

Judging from the Diary's contents, she could be certain that she was Cai Lin, not the newly born Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

With Chu Xiao, her former Husband who had reincarnated from the future, as her support, these minor issues could surely be resolved.

And sure enough, Chu Xiao explained her doubts in the Diary next.

After Little Yan Zi and I left, we both breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had finally come to a satisfactory end, and Little Yan Zi had successfully proven himself as well.

I did not regret killing Mo Cheng. He had been the one coveting Qing Lin's talent, so I had no choice but to act.

Now that I had another chance, I wanted to destroy him all over again.

"Ah!?" Qing Lin let out a soft cry.

The source of that conflict had actually been her, a mere little maid?

If Medusa had not happened to be by Chu Xiao's side, and if the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had not developed consciousness and feelings for Chu Xiao, making it willing to strike a deal with Medusa, then even if Chu Xiao himself could unleash the strength of a Dou Emperor, with the guards arranged by Xun Er and Hai Bo Dong's help, they might not have been able to leave.

Yet given another chance, Young Master Chu Xiao still said he did not regret it at all. There was no doubt that this stemmed from his feelings for her.

"Young Master is so good. Hurry and come here~" Qing Lin clasped her hands before her chest, her jade-green eyes brimming with anticipation.

But immediately afterward, those three small dots flickered faintly once more, because killing intent had arisen in her heart toward Mo Cheng.

This was only the second time Qing Lin had felt killing intent since she was born. The first had naturally been toward Medusa, who had deceived her and tried to kill Chu Xiao.

If it had not been for that man coveting her talent, would none of what followed have happened?

Meanwhile, within the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City.

A maid came to report to Ya Fei in the room where Yun Yun was staying. "Miss Ya Fei, Young Master Chu Xiao of the Xiao Family has come to visit."

"Take him to the VIP room—no." Ya Fei immediately rose to her feet. "I'll go receive him myself."

As she spoke, she looked at Yun Yun, whose brows were tightly furrowed. "Sister, don't get too worked up no matter what you see. Wait until I return, and we can discuss it."

"Go on." Yun Yun nodded slightly.

Killing intent had also arisen in her heart.

Mo Cheng and the Mo Family belonged to the Misty Cloud Sect's council of elders. They acted arrogantly and without restraint.

If the imperial family had not supported several other clans, the Mo Family would have become the local tyrant of the Northeast Province.

Because of this, Jia Xingtian had hinted to her more than once that she should keep the council of elders under control. Otherwise, if things got out of hand, neither side would look good.

And now, she learned that Mo Cheng's coveting of Chu Xiao's maid's talent seemed to be the fuse that later led to Yun Shan's life-or-death crisis and the destruction of the Misty Cloud Sect.

How could she not have thoughts about it?

"If you hadn't gone too far, why would he be thinking of killing you all over again when nothing has even happened yet, despite having another chance?"

Fortunately, with Cai Lin—the greatest source of security I had before breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm—I was able to escape Yun Shan with my life.

"Mo Cheng, Mo Family." Killing intent flashed through Medusa's violet eyes.

In a few days, she would make time to visit the Mo Family's territory, lure some Mo Family descendant into speaking disrespectfully to her, then take action and kill him as a matter of course!

This was not for Chu Xiao. She simply felt that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were not something trash like them had any right to covet!

But it was also because Old Yao intimidated her, and because he promised to refine pills for her that would eliminate the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's influence.

At first, Cai Lin had been very practical. She would constantly threaten to kill me, but I later learned that she was merely talking tough.

"Queen Sister, is killing people your catchphrase?" Qing Lin blinked her large eyes, her face utterly innocent.

Medusa: "."

She truly was ruthless.

She was not merely talking tough!

With the crisis resolved, Little Yan Zi and I discussed returning to the Xiao Family to see Uncle and Aunt before heading to the Black-Corner Region.

But when we returned to the Xiao Family, all we saw was a pile of ruins. Uncle and Aunt had gone missing.

Little Yan Zi and I were enraged. We guessed that the Misty Cloud Sect might be behind it, so we killed our way back.

After I promised Cai Lin generous rewards, she held Yun Shan off. Old Yao and I worked together to capture Yun Ling and forced the truth out of him.

The destruction of the Xiao Family had indeed been his doing!

"Yun Ling!" Yun Yun's expression remained unchanged, but her tightly clenched, trembling hands revealed the turmoil in her heart.

At this moment, she felt more self-reproach than anything else.

If she had forcefully suppressed the council of elders, would these things never have happened?

The three-year agreement had been the trigger, Mo Cheng the fuse, and Yun Ling the explosive.

She could feel Chu Xiao's affection for the Xiao Family, especially his feelings for Xiao Zhan and Fang Yi.

The Xiao Family had been destroyed, and his uncle and aunt had gone missing. How could this possibly end peacefully!?

But he refused to admit to abducting my uncle and aunt, insisting that he had nothing to do with it.

But Little Yan Zi and I had already been driven into a bloodlust. How could we listen to his excuses? In the end, we joined forces and used our trump cards to kill him.

This act completely enraged Yun Shan, who declared that the Misty Cloud Sect and the Xiao Family would fight to the death.

Only afterward did I learn that my uncle and aunt's disappearance truly had nothing to do with Yun Ling.

The Women:?

Yun Yun: "."

So he died for nothing?

But destroying the Misty Cloud Sect had not been wrong at all. It had even accidentally accomplished a good deed.

The Women:??

Why?

Yun Yun: "."

After killing Yun Ling, Little Yan Zi and I began to flee. With the help of many people, including little Yun Er, we successfully escaped and entered Jia Nan Academy to study.

"Including me?" Yun Yun blinked.

It seemed that at that time, she had already fallen deeply in love with Chu Xiao.

Despite Yun Shan wanting to kill Chu Xiao, she had actually helped him escape.

No, she had merely stood on the side of justice. Yun Ling and Mo Cheng had been the ones to commit wrongs first.

"But Teacher, how could he be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?" Yun Yun felt that something was off.

The Yun Shan mentioned in Chu Xiao's Notes felt vastly different from the one in her memories.

Could it be that breaking through to Dou Zong had changed his temperament!?

After completing our studies and returning, we joined forces and ascended the Misty Cloud Sect once more. Yun Shan was killed by my own hand.

For Yun Yun's sake, I agreed to spare the ordinary disciples and elders of the Misty Cloud Sect, on the condition that the sect be disbanded from that day onward.

Because I was the one who killed her master, little Yun Er could not be with me. At the back mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect, with me

"With me!?" Cao Ying's eyes widened.

This was the third time it had been mentioned. It should be described in detail now, right?

Sister Ya Fei came to pick me up, so my memories with little Yun Er will pause here for now. Next time, when I have time, I'll reminisce about the past to pad the word count and gain memories.

All the women holding Diary Copies:?

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous! He's actually getting worse!"

"If you dare show up in front of me now, I'll definitely bite you until you surrender."

Cao Ying's emotions were in turmoil as she puffed out her cheeks and furiously pounded the bed.

Previously, Chu Xiao had only glossed over things whenever he wrote about intimate matters with Yun Yun, leaving people hanging in an uncomfortable state.

Now this was even worse—he had actually stopped halfway through the story.

This man was truly irresponsible.

And this Ya Fei, couldn't she have shown up a little later?

"Ya Fei, is it?" Medusa closed her eyes.

Interrupting her just as she was getting to know Chu Xiao more deeply—she already had a death wish!

"Ya Fei, Ya Fei, couldn't you have walked a little slower!?"

Yun Yun was also going crazy. She had wanted to learn all of her future with him in one go.

At the very least, she wanted to know why destroying the Misty Cloud Sect had not been wrong, and why it had even accidentally done a good deed!

Xiao Yi Xian: Couldn't you walk slower? Couldn't you wait until Chu Xiao finished writing before showing up? Couldn't you omit ten thousand words?

Ya Fei: "."

Just because you have plenty of chances to send letters doesn't mean you need to send one specifically to scold me, right!?
