Li Xuan'er's Road to Ruin: From Goddess to Stray Dog!

Ye Xuan forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi in his chest and opened the door.

Standing outside was Li Xuan'er, her face pale, yet her eyes carrying a trace of urgency and expectation.

"Ye Xuan..."

The moment Li Xuan'er saw him, it was as if she had seen a savior. She hurriedly said, "Let's talk! Lin Yuan... Lin Yuan is too terrifying! We have to join forces! You're the brightest star in the National League now. As long as we get back together, with your current fame and status, we'll definitely still have a chance..."

Before she could finish, Ye Xuan cut her off with a cold sneer.

"Join forces?"

Ye Xuan looked her up and down, his gaze as though he were looking at a pile of utterly worthless trash.

"Are you worthy?"

Those three words were like three sharp blades, stabbing viciously into Li Xuan'er's heart.

Her face went even paler in an instant.

"Ye Xuan! How can you say that?!"

She stared at the man before her, both familiar and unfamiliar, unable to believe it. Even her voice cracked. "For you, I didn't hesitate to break with Lin Yuan! I gave you every cultivation resource the Lin Family gave me! That's why you have what you do today! How can you treat me like this?!"

She had thought that bringing up the kindness of the past would at least earn a flicker of emotion from him.

Instead, Ye Xuan laughed even more unrestrainedly, his laughter brimming with mockery and disdain.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

Ye Xuan doubled over with laughter, as though he had heard the funniest joke under heaven.

"Li Xuan'er, don't you think a little too highly of yourself?"

He abruptly stopped laughing.

He stepped forward and leaned close to Li Xuan'er's ear.

Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, like the whisper of a demon, he said:

"Did you think I approached you back then because I truly liked a self-righteous, stupid woman like you?"

"I merely saw that you were Lin Yuan's woman, and that I could endlessly squeeze resources from the Lin Family out of you!"

"Treat you well?"

"That was called an investment!"

"Now that Lin Yuan, that wastrel, has dumped you, do you still have even the slightest value to me?"

Rumble—!

Those words, cruel to the extreme, were like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, shattering Li Xuan'er's final shred of illusion to pieces!

Her entire body froze where she stood, as if struck by lightning, her mind a blankness.

So...

That was how it was?

From beginning to end, she had merely been a tool to be used?

A tool for squeezing resources out of Lin Yuan...

A tool?

Everything she had given, every betrayal she had committed, all her self-righteousness...

At this moment...

Had all become a complete and utter joke!

"No... You're lying! You're not that kind of person!"

As if she had gone mad, Li Xuan'er suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan's arm and shrieked hysterically, "You're deceiving me! You must be deceiving me!"

"Get lost!"

A flash of extreme disgust and impatience crossed Ye Xuan's eyes.

With a violent shake of his hand, a tremendous force flung Li Xuan'er away, sending her crashing hard into the corridor wall.

"Trash that someone else threw away, and you dare come here wagging your tail and begging for pity?"

Ye Xuan adjusted his collar, his gaze so cold that it contained not the slightest trace of emotion.

"Don't come bother me again. Otherwise, I don't mind making you disappear from this world completely."

With that, he turned and prepared to shut the door.

"No!"

Li Xuan'er struggled to crawl up from the ground and threw herself at him again, clutching his leg tightly as she cried and pleaded, "Ye Xuan! Please! Don't abandon me! I'm willing to do anything for you! Please..."

She had completely broken down.

Abandoned by Lin Yuan, ignored by her Lineage, and now even her final hope had pushed her into the Abyss in the cruelest possible way.

She had nothing left.

Looking down at the woman at his feet, clinging to his thigh like a dog without even a shred of dignity.

The last trace of patience in Ye Xuan's heart was finally worn away.

The disgust in his eyes turned into palpable rage!

"I told you to get lost! Can't you understand?!"

He suddenly raised his foot, intending to kick her away.

But he seemed to feel that was not enough to vent his anger.

Under Li Xuan'er's disbelieving gaze, filled with tears and pleading.

Ye Xuan slowly raised his hand.

Slap—!!!

An incomparably crisp and resounding slap suddenly rang out in the silent corridor!

Ye Xuan had used spiritual power in that slap!

Li Xuan'er was sent flying sideways, spinning twice in midair before crashing heavily onto the carpet several meters away.

"Pfft!"

A Mouthful of Blood, mixed with several shattered teeth, spurted out of her mouth, leaving a glaring blood-red plum blossom upon the pure white carpet.

Half of her face swelled at a visible speed, a distinct five-fingered print shocking to behold.

Her ears buzzed, and the whole world seemed to be spinning.

Ye Xuan did not even spare her another glance.

He merely shook his hand coldly, as if he had just swatted away a disgusting fly.

Then, with a heavy bang, he slammed the door shut.

All cries, pleas, and despair were shut outside the door.

In the corridor, several startled contestants and hotel attendants pointed at Li Xuan'er on the floor, whispering among themselves.

Li Xuan'er merely lay sprawled upon the cold floor, feeling the searing agony on her face and the despair in her heart, which had long since gone numb.

Her consciousness slowly sank amid endless darkness and humiliation.

Why...

Why had it become like this...
