Chu Youwei Felt Like She Could Do It Again; the Overconfident Woman's World Was Invincible

Chu Beiqiong took a deep breath. "The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

"Stop beating around the bush. Speak plainly," Luo Hao urged.

At this, even Qin Mu looked toward Chu Beiqiong.

Chu Beiqiong continued, "It means that as long as Little Wei can obtain That Kid's forgiveness, we'll have a sliver of hope."

Luo Hao frowned slightly. "That Kid is a Simp, but he isn't an idiot."

"We were so cruel to him. Can this really just be swept under the rug?"

"Perhaps it truly wouldn't work with a normal person, but That Kid really isn't normal."

As he spoke, a mocking curl tugged at Chu Beiqiong's lips. "Over the years, That Kid did far too many things to please Little Wei—things that shattered the bottom line of human decency."

"So long as Little Wei is willing to soften up and act cute with him, there's still a chance this can be swept aside."

"Of course, if you think you have a better way, then pretend I said nothing."

I...

Luo Hao was instantly speechless.

What the hell of a solution did he have?

In the distance, Chu Youwei had already recovered. Her expression was complicated as she stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

Because no one knew better than she did how good Chen Wen had been to her.

After a long silence, Luo Hao made up his mind.

At this point, he could only gamble once.

Even if there was only the slightest hope.

He did not want to die.

With that thought, he walked over to Chu Youwei and respectfully helped her up. "Little Sis... no... Miss Chu, are you all right?"

Chu Youwei shook her head. By now, she no longer looked as miserable as before.

"Miss Chu, I beg you, please put in a good word for me."

"As long as I survive, I am willing to serve you like an ox and a horse at your side."

Luo Hao spoke solemnly, his attitude incomparably sincere.

"Miss Chu, me too. My attitude earlier was poor, and I apologize to you here."

"This is a small token of my sincerity. Please accept it."

"And if I survive this time, then this life of mine will be yours."

Qin Mu struggled over and offered up his Spatial Ring.

At this very moment, he shared the same State of Mind as Luo Hao.

Chu Youwei gave Qin Mu a faint look before taking the Spatial Ring.

Watching these two people, who had always stood so high above others, bowing and scraping before her—

Chu Youwei suddenly felt that this was the very life she had always dreamed of.

And all of this had been brought to her by Chen Wen.

If she truly obtained Chen Wen's forgiveness and successfully joined the Emperor Clan, what kind of scene would that be?

At that thought, she could not help considering whether it was feasible.

Just as Chu Beiqiong had said.

Given Chen Wen's feelings for her, as long as she acted cute, there was still a chance this matter could be swept aside.

Besides, from beginning to end, she had never personally acted—whether it was the first time they dug out his origin source or the second time they extracted his essence blood.

So long as she devoted herself wholeheartedly to Chen Wen from now on and put him first in everything—

Even if Chen Wen's family did not accept her, they would not be able to find fault with her.

With that, wouldn't everything fall into place?

But once she gained control of the Emperor Clan, everyone who defied her would have to die.

The first would be Chen Hongmian. She had nearly died at that woman's hands just now.

And Luo Hao and Qin Mu absolutely could not be allowed to live either.

She knew someone had to take the blame for this matter, or else Chen Wen and his clan's fury could not be appeased.

With that thought, a complete plan formed in Chu Youwei's heart.

Seeing Chu Youwei like this, the corner of Chu Beiqiong's mouth lifted slightly.

His goal had finally been achieved.

What came next would be where the real show began.

Chu Youwei gathered her thoughts and said, "Don't worry. We are one whole now. As long as I live, you won't die."

"Good, good, good. Then we'll be relying entirely on you."

"I could tell long ago that you were a loyal and righteous person. I was right about you."

Qin Mu and the others chimed in one after another.

The corner of Chu Youwei's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

You still want to live? Dream on.

Chen Wen loved me, not you lot.

"Look, what is that?" At that moment, Chu Beiqiong suddenly pointed toward the sky.

Two figures towering alongside the heavens came into view. Their presence was so overwhelming that even the surrounding Heavenly Dao Laws had to give way.

That invisible force pressed the entire firmament into ceaseless distortion, like waves of a raging sea.

Most terrifying of all was the pair's bearing. They were peerless beneath the heavens, supremely noble, and arrogantly unmatched.

It was as if all things between heaven and earth were no more than ants before them.

Yet the two soon vanished from the sky, as though nothing had happened.

"That was the Imperial Clan Patriarch and the Clan Mother. Their cultivation reaches the heavens. If they wished it, they could destroy the Ancient Yuan Realm with a raised hand."

At some point, Jiang Taichu had arrived beside Qin Mu and the others. His voice drifted out faintly.

This...

Qin Mu and the others were once again struck dumb, boundless terror spreading uncontrollably through their bodies.

The Imperial Clan Patriarch and the Clan Mother?

They could destroy the Ancient Yuan Realm with a raised hand?

The very thought made their scalps go numb.

Only Chu Youwei's eyes gleamed brightly.

She became even more determined that she had to earn Chen Wen's forgiveness and join the Emperor Clan.

Meanwhile, Chen Badao and Ye Chenyan had arrived in the room where Chen Wen was staying.

"Where's Little Wen? How is he? How is he?" Ye Chenyan asked anxiously.

"He's fine. He's only asleep. Once he wakes up, he'll recover," Chen Wudi said.

Ye Chenyan shoved Chen Wudi aside and hurried to Chen Wen's bedside.

When she saw Chen Wen's grown-up appearance, along with the lingering pallor on his face—

Ye Chenyan froze at once, her whole body trembling in fear and anguish.

Just like that, Ye Chenyan broke down in tears, the tears pouring down like floodwaters after a dam burst.

Chen Badao looked at Chen Wen as well, and his tiger-like eyes gradually reddened.

Seeing his wife's emotions spiraling out of control, Chen Badao thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, he's still not..."

"Shut up."

Ye Chenyan abruptly raised her head, her tear-streaked face lifted toward him. "If you weren't so useless, would Little Wen have suffered this calamity? Would our mother and son have needed to be separated for sixteen years?"

"For these sixteen years, there has not been a single day when I did not miss him, not a single day when I did not blame myself."

"We selfishly brought him into this world, yet we lacked the ability to protect him. What use are we as parents?!"

By the end, Ye Chenyan was outright roaring.

"I'm sorry." Chen Badao raised his head slightly, refusing to let his tears fall.

Though Chen Hongmian and Chen Wudi remained silent, tears had long since streamed down their faces.

"You all leave. I want to stay with Little Wen for a while," Ye Chenyan said, suppressing her surging emotions.

"Go out." Chen Badao spoke to his two children, then walked outside.

But the moment he stepped out the door, Ye Chenyan's broken sobs rang out from within. "Mother is useless. Mother failed to protect you, my son."

"It's all my fault, all my fault, all my fault, all my fault..."

As she spoke, she slapped herself again and again.

Hearing this, Chen Badao's fists clenched fiercely as the boundless fury he had suppressed crashed relentlessly through his chest.

At this moment, he truly had the urge to destroy everything.
