Lin Qingxue, You Don't Deserve This Gift of Mine!

He had thought it was only a dream.

Never had he imagined that, upon opening his eyes, he would truly be reborn!

Looking at the familiar scene, Qin Wuyou was so overcome with excitement that he wanted to cry.

Recalling the mysterious voice that had sounded in his mind just before his death, Qin Wuyou felt both stunned and elated.

He had far too many questions he wanted answered.

He wanted to know who the mysterious woman who had granted him a second life really was.

But just then, Lin Qingxue, now wearing Lin Fan's ring, walked up to him. She deliberately raised her hand and waved the pigeon-egg-sized white jade ring before Qin Wuyou's eyes, asking smugly,

"Qin Wuyou, isn't this ring beautiful? This is the engagement ring Lin Fan gave me. It's a hundred, a thousand times more precious than those vulgar things you used to give me!"

With that, Lin Qingxue turned and linked her arm through Lin Fan's. Standing shoulder to shoulder like a perfect pair carved from jade, they smiled at Qin Wuyou again, and she spoke with the deliberate intent of sickening him,

"Qin Wuyou, it isn't that I refuse to accept your proposal. The two of us simply aren't suited to each other."

"You used to be the Holy Son of the Xuantian Holy Land, standing far above everyone else. I could never have reached your heights. Now I've worked hard to become the Holy Maiden, but you've been stripped of your position as Holy Son. It's as though fate is toying with us. Whether then or now, it always leaves one of us in the heavens and the other on the ground."

"You must understand, right? We live in different worlds. We could never be together."

"But Lin Fan is different."

"We truly love each other. For him, I'm willing to give up everything. Besides, he's the Holy Son and I'm the Holy Maiden. In terms of status, we're a much better match than you and I."

"Don't worry. As long as you stop pestering me like you used to, I won't deliberately avoid you anymore. Although we can't be husband and wife, we can still be brother and sister."

At this point, Lin Qingxue nestled her head against Lin Fan's shoulder even more intimately and said with a sweet smile,

"Brother Qin, I've already accepted Lin Fan's proposal. Shouldn't you congratulate us?"

After hearing Lin Qingxue's almost innocently phrased remarks, the disciples of the Xuantian Holy Land present all wore peculiar expressions.

"Holy shit, what is this? Lovers finally becoming brother and sister?"

"There's nothing wrong with what Lin Qingxue said, but why does hearing it... make me want to punch her?"

"Still, she does have a point. With Qin Wuyou's current status, he really isn't worthy of her anymore."

"If the Holy Son and Holy Maiden tie the knot, it'll be a lovely tale for our Xuantian Holy Land."

"Looking at it that way, Lin Fan really is a better match for Lin Qingxue than Qin Wuyou."

While everyone was busy discussing it, Qin Wuyou, who had remained silent all this time, finally came back to his senses.

Having been reborn, he no longer felt the slightest attachment to Lin Qingxue.

Even Lin Qingxue's peerless beauty, enough to topple cities and kingdoms, now struck Qin Wuyou as unbearably vulgar.

Had he not been reborn, how could he ever have known that beneath her peerless face, beautiful enough to bring ruin to a nation and its people, lurked the heart of a snake and scorpion?

Looking at the vile pair, Qin Wuyou could think only of the vow he had made before his death: If there is another life, I will cut down every faithless soul!

No!

Now it should be... with the sword in my hand, I will cut down every faithless dog!

He wanted nothing more than to slaughter this vile pair, to slice them into a thousand pieces!

How could he possibly give them his blessing?

After his anger passed, Qin Wuyou instead grew calm and said with a cold laugh,

"Lin Qingxue, since you've accepted Lin Fan's proposal, shouldn't you return my gift?"

Qin Wuyou's eyes flickered as he looked at the box Lin Qingxue held in her hands.

Inside the box was the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus.

He had originally prepared it as a proposal gift for Lin Qingxue.

With this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus, Lin Qingxue, who was in the purple mansion realm, could form the strongest possible Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform.

In his previous life, it was precisely because Lin Qingxue had refined the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus that she had become invincible within the purple mansion realm.

Now that he had a second life, Lin Qingxue could forget about getting this Nine-Turn Golden Lotus.

"Gift?"

Glancing at the box in her hands, Lin Qingxue frowned and hesitated.

Although she hated Qin Wuyou, she certainly didn't hate the gifts he gave her!

She had not opened the box yet, but she knew that everything Qin Wuyou gave her was a top-grade treasure.

Qin Wuyou had been deeply attentive to her. Every gift he gave her was a cultivation resource she urgently needed.

Over the past three years, it was precisely by relying on Qin Wuyou's gifts that she had broken through four major realms and become the Holy Maiden of the Xuantian Holy Land.

Now that she had just advanced to the purple mansion stage, whatever he had prepared in this box had to be a treasure that would help her form her Purple Mansion Lotus Platform.

So the moment she heard Qin Wuyou ask her to return the box, Lin Qingxue was unwilling.

Beside her, Lin Fan also saw what Lin Qingxue wanted and stepped forward to say,

"Qin Wuyou, do you have any gentlemanly dignity at all? You actually want to take back a gift you've already given away? Isn't that utterly shameless?"

Seeing that the vile pair was unwilling to return his gift, Qin Wuyou deliberately cast a glance at Lin Fan before turning back to Lin Qingxue and sneering,

"Lin Qingxue, if you refuse to return it, I'll take that as your acceptance of my proposal."

"Or, Lin Fan, if you speak up and admit you can't afford to provide for your woman, I can give this gift to you instead."

Lin Qingxue, who had been reluctant to return the gift, hastily threw the box toward him upon hearing this. She kept far away from Qin Wuyou as though fleeing a god of pestilence and shouted furiously,

"Qin Wuyou, could you be any more repulsive? Just because I won't accept your proposal, you're taking your gift back? I must have been blind before to harbor even a shred of hope for you, to think you deserved my kindness!"

"Take your things and get as far away from me as you can!"

Seeing Lin Qingxue on the verge of tears, Lin Fan hurried forward to comfort her,

"Qingxue, don't waste your time on such a petty little man. It's just some worthless, lousy gift. Giving it back was the right thing to do! My woman deserves better! I'll provide every gift you receive for the rest of your life!"

"Today is our joyous day. There's no need to let a petty man like him ruin our mood."

Their accusations, each echoing the other, immediately stirred sympathy among the surrounding disciples.

Every spearhead was pointed at Qin Wuyou.

"Holy shit! Has Qin Wuyou gone mad? A gift given away is like water poured out. How can he snatch it back?"

"As a man myself, I'm embarrassed for him."

"Ah, I originally thought our former Holy Son was rather pitiful when Lin Qingxue chose Lin Fan. Now it looks like he deserved it! Snatching back someone's gift is downright despicable!"

The surrounding disciples of the Xuantian Holy Land also accused Qin Wuyou of lacking dignity.

Qin Wuyou cared nothing for these disciples of the Xuantian Holy Land blindly joining in the accusations.

But he could not tolerate this vile pair standing on the moral high ground to condemn him.

"Lin Qingxue, you don't deserve this gift of mine!"

Qin Wuyou sneered and deliberately opened the box.

The moment the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus slowly floated out of the box, everyone was stunned!
