Letting Go

"Ha ha..."

"Ha ha..."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

His heavy breathing, like a burst of laughter after extreme joy, or a cry of pain after exhaustion, symbolized that his body and mind were both on the verge of their limits. Cold sweat had long since mixed with blood, forming an uneven, foul-smelling scab on Dai Mubai's face in the high temperature, seemingly a reward for the victor.

Although the victor is not in good form right now.

Dai Weisi, like a cornered beast, caused Dai Mubai a lot of trouble. Even with only one breath left, Dai Weisi was determined to take a piece of Dai Mubai's flesh. So, although Dai Mubai killed Dai Weisi, he also paid a heavy price. His right arm was torn off, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken. He only knew that every breath was like being pricked by needles, and he coughed up blood as if he were drowning.

Needless to say, Soul Power is even more important.

In the end, it all comes down to willpower.

Neither he nor his brother Dai Weisi had the Soul Power to maintain their Martial Soul, so they could only fight like two wild beasts, using their teeth and fists to decide the outcome.

I'm very lucky.

This is precisely what he excels at.

The sustained combat capability of Stellar Martial Arts is self-evident.

"So, go in peace..." Dai Mubai endured the waves of pain emanating from his internal organs, slowed his breathing, and shakily got up from the ground. Beneath him lay Dai Weisi, whose eyeballs had been smashed out. Fortunately, human skulls are hard enough that Dai Weisi's twisted and horrified face was still barely recognizable. "I will step over your corpse to become the next emperor of the Star Luo Empire!"

The purplish-blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

A voluptuous figure came into Dai Mubai.

Even a silhouette against the firelight looked strangely familiar.

Dai Mubai's expression froze for a moment.

Immediately, it seemed as if he suddenly realized something.

He raised his hand, touching the thin line of blood that had appeared on his throat, his eyes filled with despair. His lips moved slightly, and his voice, weak and bubbly, said, "So that's how it is... I should have realized it sooner!"

"Every pitiful person has something hateful about them, and every hateful person has something pitiful about them..." Zhu Zhuqing turned around and looked at Dai Mubai, who was barely holding on, and suddenly smiled with relief, "You know, Dai Mubai, at first, I hated you so much, so much. I wanted to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin, to cut you into a thousand pieces. But later, I gradually stopped hating you because I discovered my own shortcomings. There are many reasons why I ended up like this, but in the end, it's all my own fault."

Dai Mubai's pupils gradually lost their luster.

It turns out that there's no difference between a person dying and a fish dying.

It's just that people's eyes are bigger.

Fish have relatively small eyes.

"During my relaxation after training, I repeatedly and carefully recalled the first half of my life..." Zhu Zhuqing knew Dai Mubai was going to die. The bloodline on Dai Mubai's throat was the mark she had left. She knew how much force she had used and how long Dai Mubai would live. But she didn't care about Dai Mubai's life or death. She simply said what she had always wanted to say, "I made three mistakes. First, I didn't recognize my own incompetence and the limits of your abilities. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't gone to the Heaven Dou Empire to find you, you would still be that drunken Star Luo Empire prince, and I would still be Miss Zhu Family. As long as I didn't rebel against my sister, for losers like us who are separated by vast distances, Dai Weisi and my sister really didn't need to kill us. You wouldn't have been dragged into this turmoil, being urged by me to work hard and desperately struggling on the line between life and death... Perhaps Dai Weisi would have given you a large sum of money to support you and let you live a life of debauchery. Because for a prince like Dai Weisi, an opponent who can be bought with money is not an opponent at all, but a friend. You are a piece of trash, and everyone will feel at ease."

Dai Mubai's body slowly fell to the ground.

It hit the ground with a dull thud.

But that still didn't stop Zhu Zhuqing from talking to herself.

"Secondly: I neglected the issues of our relationship and trust." Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was calm. Seeing Dai Mubai fall and lose his life, she acted as if she were watching a stranger die, without any emotion. "Relationships and trust need to be cultivated and accumulated. I mistakenly thought that you were my fiancé, so you, who were useless, should work harder. But I forgot that our relationship was not enough for me to criticize you. It is a big taboo to speak too frankly with someone you don't know well. If it were me, put myself in your shoes, I would be living a life of pleasure, carefree and unambitious, content with the status quo. Then one day, my fiancé would suddenly come to my door and say that I was wrong in this way and wrong in that way, making me feel worthless. He would chase after me like an old woman every day, without any coquetry, laughter, or even quarrels. He would always lecture me in the tone of an elder. I think I would be more likely to break down than you because I am a stubborn person. I cannot agree with you, and you cannot change me."

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

"Finally, and thirdly..." Zhu Zhuqing slowly closed her eyes, exhaled softly, as if she had put down a heavy burden, and said with relief, "I have a problem with my judgment of people. I don't hate you for betraying me. You just made a decision that is in line with your personality. Even without Ye Qingcang, you would have abandoned me because of other insurmountable troubles. So, you didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who made a mistake. I mistakenly trusted someone I shouldn't have trusted. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet someone who was interested in me. It feels really good to be needed."

In the firelight, Zhu Zhuqing's shadow twisted and flickered.

Following Zhu Zhuqing's steps as she walked out.

The words stretched longer and longer until they merged with the darkness. "Whether you can hear me or not, I'm not saying this to beg for your pity, nor to mock your betrayal. I just feel it's necessary for me to make things clear with you, to put an end to my foolish past, and to start a new life... Thank you for being my listener, Dai Mubai, and thank you for teaching me a lesson, making me realize my own foolishness. That's all, goodbye!"

"Goddess of Life will find its own way, and people always learn and grow from setbacks and failures." In the villa at the Blue Tyrant Academy, Ye Qingcang saw off Ye Lingling's mother, arranged for Bai Chenxiang, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuyun to stay, took a sip of the milk tea Violet had made, felt the Soul Power surging within him, twirled his bracelet, and held the milk tea in his other hand, waiting for the breathtaking moment when the morning sun leaped above the horizon. "Violet, what do you think the Gods will choose?"

"You said that this kind of god isn't a god, but a person with great power. You also said that the weakness of a person is always the seven emotions and six desires..." Violet also sipped her milk tea. For Soul Master, not sleeping for a night would indeed drain their energy, but for her and Ye Qingcang, who had cultivated the Stellar Martial Arts, let alone not sleeping for a night, even if they didn't sleep for a year, they would still be full of energy. "As long as the Angel God and the Rakshasa God disagree, the Asura God will definitely not agree."

"That's right." Ye Qingcang looked at the light rising from the horizon, naturally swirled the milk tea in his cup, and drank it all in one gulp. "Today, I want to teach you another principle: no matter how confident you are, even if you have a thousand percent or infinitely high confidence, never believe in such absolute certainty. Human nature is the general trend, the forty-ninth of the fifty great principles, but you can't expect everyone to be rational. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Let everyone know—you are the most important; then, more and more people will care about your opinion, and your will can be thoroughly implemented."

"Use the beastmen to counterbalance the Gods." Violet instantly caught up with Ye Qingcang 'Ye Qingcang train of thought and immediately understood his calculations regarding the time difference, "Even if the Gods of this Divine Realm support you."

"One day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the Human Realm." Ye Qingcang eyes were unfathomable as he calmly explained his worst-case scenario, "If necessary, I allow you to give up everything. As long as you are here, and Mother is still alive, everything can start over."

"Understood." Violet bowed in farewell. "But I will do my best to prevent that from happening, and I will do everything I can to protect you!"
