Angels Weep Tears! Gu Yuena Loses Her Voice

Qian Renxue's fingers froze in midair, the lingering warmth of his blood still scalding her fingertips.

As she looked at Su Ling's distant, indifferent demeanor, it felt like a knife had plunged into her chest, the pain unbearable.

"Do you think I wanted to meddle in your affairs?!"

She abruptly seized his collar, her voice suppressing the grievance and fury accumulated over two lifetimes.

"From Spirit Hall to Heaven Dou City... from the Previous Life to this life... I chased after you, ran after you, for two whole lifetimes!"

Her tears finally burst through the dam, splattering onto his bloodstained lapels and blooming into dark flowers.

Trembling, she released him and staggered back.

Her Golden Long Hair lost its luster beneath the dim yellow light.

"You've always been like this... always forcing yourself into a dead end..."

"Not even once... not even once did you give me the chance to protect you..."

"Two lifetimes?!"

Su Ling's eye twitched, and his whole body went numb.

Gu Yuena's rebirth was one thing, but Qian Renxue had returned too?

"System, get out here! What the hell is going on?"

He roared inwardly. Two heroines from his past life had reincarnated together—he was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Yuena alone was already hard enough to deal with, and now Qian Renxue had been added to the mix.

"Host, it's fine."

"After all, in your First Life, due to your lack of strength, you did not treat Qian Renxue excessively harshly."

"Therefore, your life should not be in danger," the system explained dryly.

"Is that what I'm talking about?"

"What I'm saying is, how am I supposed to make her fall for Ning Rongrong now?"

"She's the standard female lead!" Su Ling roared inwardly, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Ding. 4,900 compensation points have been applied for the Host."

"Points may be exchanged in the store for special items or used to increase your strength."

The system's mechanical voice sounded.

"Friendly reminder: Qian Renxue's storyline has been deleted. Host, please ignore it."

Su Ling had only just begun to relax.

Then the system's next sentence nearly made him cough up blood.

"However, the Host must add an after-sales target."

"Do you remember the previous reminder? After Qian Renxue ascended to become a God King in the First Life, she exhausted every effort to revive you but failed. In the end, she slit her own throat before your grave and died for love."

"Now that she has been reborn, the system has determined that she belongs to the special customer group of 'unresolved obsession.' The Host must provide additional emotional comfort and dispel her obsession, or it will affect the completion rate of the main mission."

Su Ling was so angry he nearly laughed. He cast a cold glance at Qian Renxue, who was still sobbing, and found her more irritating the longer he looked.

Heh, mission completion rate?

There had never been a time when he exceeded 30%.

This side mission could go to hell.

"Two lifetimes? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't put on that look like you know me so well."

"From the moment you came in, you acted as though we were very familiar with each other."

Su Ling forced himself to stand, pretending not to understand what she was saying as a mocking sneer curled across his lips.

Qian Renxue shuddered all over, tears frozen on her face.

She quickly wiped away the tear tracks and resumed Xue Qinghe's gentle, refined disguise.

Only her reddened eyes betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

"Sorry, I was presumptuous." Her voice was soft, though the bitterness in it was impossible to hide. "I only saw how badly you were hurt and panicked for a moment..."

Su Ling snorted coldly and turned to leave.

But Qian Renxue grabbed him again and pressed him onto the couch.

Her strength was astonishing, her fingertips nearly digging into his shoulders.

"Let go!" Su Ling struggled, but his injuries left him powerless.

Qian Renxue bent close, her breath brushing past his ear. "Be good... at least... let me treat your wounds first."

Her words were humble, almost pleading, yet carried an undeniable forcefulness.

She deftly untied his bloodstained black robe, exposing the Fierce Wound.

The backlash from the Destruction God Armor split the skin in spiderweb-like cracks as dark violet energy continued to erode him.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly. Holy golden Soul Power gathered at her fingertips as she carefully treated his wounds.

"Does it hurt?" she asked softly, her movements as gentle as if she were handling a fragile treasure.

Su Ling turned his face away and remained silent.

Yet his tense muscles and trembling eyelashes gave away the pain he was enduring.

More than anything, it was simply embarrassing.

Even knowing Qian Renxue was a woman, the scene looked strange no matter how he viewed it.

If someone saw them...

Backstage, in the changing room.

Gu Yuena was supported by the maidservants as she changed into a plain long dress.

The maidservants were terrified. "Miss... please don't take it to heart... It was all a misunderstanding before..."

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her silver hair concealing her expression, but the faint sway of her hair tips betrayed the joy in her heart.

Shengyan had come! He had really come! Her wild elation temporarily overwhelmed all her pain.

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, and Tang Yuehua entered.

Her bearing remained elegant, but her gaze was icy to the bone.

She stared fixedly at Gu Yuena, alarm bells blaring in her mind.

This little bitch really knew that lord!

"You're feeling quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?" Tang Yuehua's voice was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue. "You think that just because you've latched onto someone powerful, you can turn your life around?"

Gu Yuena's body stiffened, the light in her eyes cooling into icy hatred.

She turned her head, her purple eyes meeting Tang Yuehua's without the slightest fear.

She knew this woman was doomed.

Shengyan would never let her go!

But at this moment, her heart was filled more with complicated feelings at the thought of seeing Shengyan soon—grievance, dependence, the ecstatic joy of recovering what had been lost.

And... the bone-deep hatred brought by that sword through her heart on their wedding night.

Had he bid for her out of regret? Guilt? Or was this... the beginning of another round of exploitation?

"That's true. A great figure like him could crush me as easily as an ant."

Seeing her remain silent, Tang Yuehua's expression turned even more sinister. "But before that..."

She suddenly seized Gu Yuena by the chin. "I'll make sure you can never speak again!"

Gu Yuena's pupils shrank sharply. Just as she tried to retreat, the maidservants pinned her down tightly.

Tang Yuehua beckoned, and a confidant approached carrying a bowl of pungent dark green medicine.

"No! Let me go! Shengyan! Save—!"

Her cry came to an abrupt stop.

A maidservant gripped Gu Yuena's jaw and, ignoring her kicks and muffled sobs, forcibly poured the highly toxic medicine down her throat!

"Gulp... gulp..."

The scorching, fishy-bitter liquid burned her throat and esophagus like a red-hot branding iron!

Gu Yuena's pupils dilated from overwhelming pain and terror. Tears streamed down her face, yet all she could make were ragged "Hah... hah..." sounds.

Her vocal cords seemed to be torn apart and melted alive!

After the agony came utter silence.

She wanted to scream, to cry, to demand answers, but she could not make a single sound.

The world sank once more into silent darkness.

The flame of hope that had just been lit was thoroughly extinguished, leaving behind only cold, bone-piercing ashes.

She curled up on the floor, trembling soundlessly as tears flowed in silence, like a young beast abandoned by the entire world.

Tang Yuehua looked at Gu Yuena weeping silently on the ground. A morbid satisfaction flickered in her eyes, along with deeper fear.

"Clean her up and take her to see that lord." She straightened her collar, suppressing her panic and resuming her outward composure.

Inside the new private room.

Qian Renxue was using gentle Angel Divine Power to help Su Ling sort through the rampaging destructive energy within him, repairing his body on the verge of collapse.

Her movements were gentle, but the emotions in her eyes were difficult to describe—at times heartache, at times she cast murderous glances toward the door.
