Silver Dragon Tear Rain Shengyan Extinguished

"Heh... you're quite the actor."

Gu Yuena let out an almost inaudible sneer in her heart. "But I won't believe you anymore."

She slowly rose to her feet, the towel slipping from her silver hair and landing on the floor with a soft thud. At the same time, her aura began to steadily climb.

"Th-that... I'll go brew you a cup of hot tea!"

Su Ling could barely keep the smile on his face. He spun around quickly, his steps a little flustered as he headed for the kitchen.

Gu Yuena's fingers, which had been gathering soul power, suddenly froze mid-air. A flicker of hesitation stirred within her.

In those clear, bottomless eyes, there was none of the cold calculation she remembered—only pure goodwill and warmth.

Could it be... that this version of him was truly different from the one in the Previous Life?

In the kitchen, Su Ling's heart pounded violently. His mind kept replaying that moment when Gu Yuena had nearly pierced through his heart.

Those blood-red eyes seemed to hold endless hatred and pain, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

As absurd as it all was, if this wasn't a dream...

Then it meant that his wife from the Previous Life, Gu Yuena, who had hated him to the bone, had also reincarnated—and she was here to claim his life.

"Host! Why are you blushing?! Even if you're in heat, have some limits. Can't you sense that obvious killing intent?"

The system's voice nearly pierced his eardrums. "Run! If you die now, there's no reloading."

"Shut up! If it weren't for my acting skills, I'd already be dead. You'd better explain to me why Gu Yuena is here."

Su Ling roared in his mind, fumbling to brew the tea. Hot Water splashed onto his hands, but he didn't even notice.

"Didn't I tell you? After Gu Yuena died, the lingering resentment of her dragon soul wouldn't dissipate for ten thousand years. So I had to clean up the mess!"

The system whined in defense. "It's your fault. I told you to play a minor villain, but you ended up slaughtering her entire clan."

Hearing this, Su Ling leaned against the kitchen wall, sliding down to collapse on the floor. His eyes were hollow.

This wasn't a dream. His bonus was gone, the system had betrayed him, and now his boss had him cornered.

After a long moment, though Su Ling felt his chances of survival were slim, he still prepared Hot Water for Gu Yuena, brewed tea, and cooked a bowl of noodles.

Now, it all depended on whether past memories could stir that shred of softness deep in Gu Yuena's heart.

He carried the tea and noodles, tiptoeing back to the living room, his steps so light they were almost inaudible.

"Oh, by the way, I also heated up the water just now. Want to take a bath? You're soaked through—you'll catch a cold easily."

"Mhm..." Gu Yuena only hummed softly in reply, her gaze casually sweeping over Su Ling.

The Young Man's figure was tall and lean, his shoulders flowing smoothly. His features were delicate yet carried a hint of youthful immaturity.

His lashes trembled slightly, casting a soft shadow under the light, making him look especially gentle.

His hands carefully cradled the teacup, knuckles distinct, fingertips tinged with a faint red—the marks from being scalded by the Hot Water.

Gu Yuena's gaze lingered on that red mark for a moment.

She remembered that in the Previous Life, when this man had slaughtered the Soul Beast clan, those bloodstained hands had been just as long and elegant.

But now, those same hands were brewing tea and cooking noodles for her, not even noticing they'd been burned.

Gu Yuena took the tea and took a light sip. The warm liquid slid down her throat. She forced her voice to sound colder: "Just leave the tea. No need for the noodles."

At that moment, she felt her heart beating a little faster.

But it made sense. With such handsome features and such gentle, attentive care, no wonder the her of the Previous Life had fallen for him—only to end up dead and gone.

At that thought, a wave of bitterness surged in Gu Yuena's heart.

She strode quickly toward the bathroom, her silver hair swaying gently behind her, leaving a faint, elusive fragrance in the air.

The bathroom door clicked shut softly, and soon the sound of water began to flow.

Su Ling stood outside the door, listening to the water sounds that felt like a countdown to death. He let out a sigh and walked toward the exit.

A while later, he placed a set of new clothes at the bathroom door.

"Clothes are by the door. They're all new."

The water in the bathroom paused for a moment, then Gu Yuena's cold reply came: "Mhm."

After doing all this, Su Ling turned and went back to his room.

He collapsed onto the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His mind kept replaying Gu Yuena's murderous Purple Eyes.

"System, goodbye. You're a piece of trash, always skimming my pay, but at least when I die, I can take you with me. That's... really great." Su Ling murmured softly.

System: "Emm..."

"Host, based on data analysis, given Gu Yuena's hatred for you, you might wish you were dead."

"Want to give it a shot? I've got a Sword of Destruction here. You could stab her again."

Su Ling did not reply, simply sinking slowly into slumber.

To be honest, having lived three lifetimes, he too was somewhat weary.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually ceased. Gu Yuena submerged her entire body in the warm water, her silver long hair spreading out like silk.

She lowered her head to gaze at her reflection in the water—a face identical to her previous life, yet now streaked with tears.

"No... the tears just won't stop."

"Shengyan... why..." She bit her lower lip, sobbing until she could no longer speak.

"Why did you let me see you like this? Was this part of your scheme too? Too cunning—how am I supposed to strike you down like this?"

Gu Yuena wiped the water from her face with force, but she could never dry the tears that kept flowing.

She buried her entire face in the water, trying to suppress the ache in her chest with the sensation of suffocation.

After a long moment, Gu Yuena finally made up her mind.

She put on the new clothes Su Ling had prepared, then walked straight toward his room.

When she pushed open the door, she saw that Su Ling was already asleep, his brows slightly furrowed, as if his rest was not peaceful.

She slowly raised her hand, a sharp silver light gathering at her fingertips.

"No matter what, as long as something threatens the existence of the Soul Beast race, it must be eradicated."

Gu Yuena's voice was cold and resolute, but the light in her hand trembled faintly.

Yet the next moment, for some unknown reason, the Asura Sword Intent within her began to riot, frantically urging her to kill Su Ling.

"No... this is wrong. My desire to kill him is my own will—it should not be controlled by anyone!"

Gu Yuena suddenly withdrew her hand, staggering back a few steps.

"Shengyan, I am no longer who I used to be. I will never trust anyone again. Wait for me—next time, I will end you with my own hands."

Leaving these words behind, she turned and quickly walked out of the room.

She thought that killing him now was still too early.

Once she had erased that part of her humanity and completely refined the Asura Sword Intent, she would once again become the Silver Dragon King she once was.

By then, she would face this world—including this merciless husband who had once killed her—with the coldest demeanor.
