"The reason I went to the Great Yan Dynasty was also... also because I wanted to improve my strength as quickly as possible, so I could consummate our marriage with you sooner! Why don't you understand?"
Ling Qingzhu hoped he would see that she had her reasons and stop pursuing the matter.
And besides, as her husband...
Shouldn't he have asked what exactly had happened to her in the Great Yan Dynasty? Whether she had been hurt?
Why did he only keep asking about those things?
Was it that important?
"If that were really the case, you would have done as I said and taken an elder with you. Then none of these complications would have happened!"
A ball of flame was blazing fiercely in Chen Xuan's chest.
As if it were about to leap out from his rib cage.
Ling Qingzhu looked at Chen Xuan's terrifying expression.
Several times, she wanted to explain.
But after racking her brains, she could not say a single thing.
Chen Xuan was right.
If she had truly wanted to consummate their marriage with Chen Xuan sooner...
She would not have secretly gone to the Great Yan Dynasty alone in search of that dispensable Nirvana Heart.
Or rather, deep in her heart, she had never truly acknowledged Chen Xuan.
She felt that he had not conquered her.
And it was precisely because of that that she had made an irreparable mistake.

"Since things have come to this, let's part on good terms!" Chen Xuan looked at Ling Qingzhu, no longer showing any attachment, and spoke word by word.
Ling Qingzhu thought she had misheard.
She froze for a moment.
Then her whole body began trembling uncontrollably. "You... what did you just... just say? Chen Xuan, say it again."
"I said, let's part on good terms. Let's end it here. It'll be good for you and for me."
By now, not the slightest trace of anger could be seen on Chen Xuan's face.
He had become extremely calm.
But only those who truly understood him would know...
This was the calm before the storm!
Though he had decided to end this husband-and-wife relationship with Ling Qingzhu...
That did not mean...
That this matter was over just like that.
After handling this relationship...
He would first set off for the Great Yan Dynasty.
He would make Tony Lin Dong pay the price.
He would make Huangpu Jing kneel before him and sing Conquer!
Only when his thoughts were clear could he press forward without hesitation!
"No! No way! I don't agree! After we got married, haven't we always gotten along just fine? Just because of such a tiny thing, you want to part with me on good terms?"
The instant Ling Qingzhu heard Chen Xuan's words, a glimmer of crystalline tears appeared in her eyes, ready to spill over at any moment.
Over the past year, the two of them had never quarreled.
Why was it that just because she had gone to the Great Yan Dynasty once and a tiny little accident had happened...
He was going to abandon her?
Wasn't the human heart made of flesh?
How could he be so cruel!

A tiny thing?
You call cheating a tiny thing?
Chen Xuan clenched his fists even tighter!
If it had been anything else, his heart would definitely have softened.
But this was a matter of principle.
Chen Xuan would never forgive it. "Senior Sister, after we got married, we've always slept in separate rooms. We've never shared a room. Is there any point to a marriage like that?"
The moment he thought of his wife ignoring his attempts to stop her and traveling a thousand li to throw herself at another man, the fury in his chest became impossible to suppress!
Ling Qingzhu thought she understood. "You just want to consummate our marriage, don't you? Fine. Let's go do it now. Right this instant!"
Ling Qingzhu believed that with her beauty, famed throughout the Eastern Xuan Region, and her peerless cultivation talent...
Even if it had already happened once...
As long as she took the initiative to suggest it...
Chen Xuan could not possibly refuse.
He would even be very happy.
After the two of them consummated their marriage, even if her master discovered she was no longer a virgin, she would not suspect anyone else.
She would only think Chen Xuan had done it!
That way, she would not blame her.
The plan was perfect!
However, faced with her proposal...
Chen Xuan clenched his fists tightly, letting his nails dig into his flesh.
He used the pain to warn himself.
His expression remained calm as he shook his head. "Senior Sister, a broken mirror can never be made whole again. Do you understand?"
Ling Qingzhu's jade-like hands clenched tightly. After her expression shifted rapidly for a moment, she said something shocking. "Putting the facts aside, don't you have even the slightest responsibility?"
If you had taken me into seclusion with you back then; if you had simply sent someone to follow me at all times back then...
Would any of this have happened?
"What responsibility do I have?"
Hearing what she said, Chen Xuan almost thought he had heard wrong.
He froze for a few seconds before remembering to ask her in return.
"You... you..." Ling Qingzhu was instantly at a loss for words. She said "you" for a long time, but could not come up with anything.
Chen Xuan swept his sleeve, and a sheet of white paper, along with brush and ink, appeared out of thin air.
He stepped forward, gripped the brush, and dipped it in ink.
His brush moved like dragons and snakes.
Line after line of flowing characters appeared on the white paper.
In the corner, he signed his name, cut his finger, and pressed down a bloody handprint.
"Senior Sister, since you refuse to agree, this is a Divorce Letter. I wish you happiness!"
Chen Xuan handed over the Divorce Letter.
However, Ling Qingzhu did not take it. Instead, she grabbed Chen Xuan by the wrist. "Junior Brother, you can't leave!"
"Don't worry. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll explain everything clearly to Master. Farewell."
With that, he pried open Ling Qingzhu's hand gripping him.
He left the Divorce Letter behind.
No matter how hoarsely she screamed after him, he did not pause for even half a second.
Returning to his own courtyard...
Chen Xuan sat in the pavilion with a calm gaze.
There was still blood on his fist, constantly seeping from his palm.
It looked frightening.
Chen Xuan clenched his fist tightly, endless rage burning in his chest.
With one punch, he smashed the stone table and chairs to pieces.
"Lin Dong! Huangpu Jing! Just you wait! This matter isn't over between us!"
The hatred of having his wife stolen was irreconcilable!
Since he was going to take revenge...
Then he would start with Lin Dong.
As an original-novel fan who had read the original many times, he knew Lin Dong's next route like the back of his hand.
Moreover, he was very clear...
With his current strength...
He was more than enough to sweep through the Great Yan Dynasty, which had only one expert at the One Yuan Nirvana Realm!
Thinking back to when he first read this novel, he had once fantasized too.
He could have enjoyed Lin Dong's romantic luck and won the beauty for himself.
But now, the moment he thought of Lin Dong, he wanted nothing more than to flay him and rip out his tendons!
Five years ago, he had transmigrated here.
By accident, he had activated the Emotion Value Collection System.
From then on, he had begun to rise.
And to him, this Emotion Value Collection System was extremely useful.
The system was also easy to understand.
It required him
to follow the list provided by the system and collect emotional fluctuation values by provoking those people.
These emotion values could not only be used for lotteries, but also to buy needed items from the system shop.
It was extremely practical.
As it happened, Lin Dong and Huangpu Jing were both on the system's list.
Revenge, and collecting emotion values.
Two birds with one stone!
After calming himself, Chen Xuan opened the system interface.
