Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 202 Who plotted against whom?

"Let's go!"

We will have to face each other sooner or later. There is no point in waiting. I don’t know if my sister will be in greater danger.

Xiaoyao and Xiangyao walked hand in hand towards the depths of the plum forest. Wherever they passed, there was dead silence, even the chirping of magpies disappeared. Xiangyao tightened Xiaoyao's hand. He didn't have time to protect her in the previous life, but in this life, he would definitely protect her.

Xiao Yao patted the back of his hand gently. Her spiritual power was not weak now, so he should trust her.

The wind stopped, the snow stopped, and they seemed to have entered another isolated world.

"Mu Fei, I'm here. How long are you going to hide?"

Xiao Yao called out Mu Fei's name directly and immediately entered combat mode. She and Xiang Yao stood back to back, not knowing where Tu Shan Jing had hidden. Even if he didn't come out today, they would still destroy the Tu Shan family!

"You bastard Chichen! Are you here to die? Do you think you can sleep soundly with this devil by your side? Hahahaha, I will make you watch him die right before your eyes! We will be a pair of miserable mandarin ducks that die together!"

"You rats in the gutter! My father didn't kill all of you. What a mistake! When Xiyan invaded, we should have all worked together to fight the enemy. Instead, your family profited from the national crisis and oppressed the people! You sucked human flesh and blood! You even wanted to collude with Xiyan and betray the country. Shouldn't you be killed? If I were your father, I would definitely kill all of you. You're just a disaster if you're still alive!"

"You're making a false argument..."

Mu Fei had witnessed the witch's eloquence. She spoke so confidently about annihilating an entire clan! She had indeed inherited the blood of the great devil and was just as cold-blooded!

"What, you can't refute it? Do you know why I didn't just kill you in secret? Because I thought it would dirty my hands. I gave you a chance to live, and since you're so determined to die, then I'll grant your wish! And, Tu Shanjing! I know you're here too! For your own selfish desires, you've fallen into the devil's way, sacrificing people and absorbing their spirits. After today, no matter where you run to, I will hunt you down!"

"Don't waste time talking to her, just kill them!"

Tu Shanjing remained silent, hiding in the darkness. He knew Xiaoyao would definitely come. Her Xiaoyao was here to kill him, so how could he let her down?

Mu Fei was furious. With a single command, the killing array activated, and a demon-locking tower was cast directly down towards Xiang Yao, attempting to lock him in. His aura was locked, leaving him with no escape. Xiang Yao remained undaunted and pushed Xiao Yao away.

"protect yourself!"

"The same to you!"

In just a moment, golden light flashed and formed a complex pattern, and countless demon-locking chains attacked Xiang Yao. Xiang Yao showed sarcasm on his face, and the silver moon scimitar suddenly appeared. When the tower covered him, it soared into the sky. The chains chased after him, trying to tie up his legs, but were kicked away by Xiang Yao. The scimitar came out with a fierce momentum and slashed towards the demon-locking tower above his head!

“Clang…”

The entire killing array emitted a sharp metallic clang. Xiao Yao, sword in hand, engaged the monsters within. She glanced at Xiang Yao, and seeing he was alright, she felt relieved. Did she still think Xiang Yao was the same strength he had been in his previous life? The Demon Locking Tower only suppressed monsters. Xiang Yao had already transcended the tribulation and become a god, the only true god in the world who had truly transcended the tribulation! His body and soul had long since been baptized by the thunder tribulation, completely rid of all demonic energy!

"Click, click..."

Under the incredulous eyes of Tu Shanjing, Mu Fei and others, the body of the Demon Locking Tower, after being chopped down by Xiang Yao several times in a row, had cracks appearing before Xiang Yao was even covered. At first there was only one crack, and then more and more cracks appeared, covering the entire body of the tower like a spider web!

"What else do you have? Come on!"

As Xiang Yao finished speaking, he soared into the sky again and broke directly into the tower. While spinning quickly, he swung out with his scimitar. With a loud bang, the Demon Locking Tower broke into countless pieces and hung in the air.

Xiang Yao raised his palm slightly, tilted his head, and smiled wickedly. Like the King of Hell locking his life, the many assassins in the dark felt their entire bodies were firmly locked. Just as he was about to change positions, he heard Xiang Yao sneer, "It's your turn!"

As his palms clenched, countless fragments were blown away by the powerful momentum. The target was clear. In just a moment, many killers hiding in the dark screamed and flew backwards!

"Impossible! Tu Shanjing, why is he so strong? How can we beat him?"

Mu Fei and the others were terrified. Not only did Princess Hao Ling also possess powerful spiritual power, but Xiang Liu was also not afraid of the Demon Locking Tower! What on earth was going on?

"Don't worry, he will die today!"

Tu Shanjing seemed to be sure of winning. He was panicked for only a moment before regaining his confidence!

"Activate the second killing array!"

Xiao Yao quickly slaughtered all the monsters, but before she could even catch her breath, the scene suddenly changed. The sounds of countless attacks filled her ears. She felt as if she were on a battlefield littered with corpses, surrounded by soldiers fighting everywhere. And now, she had become Rushou! Opposite her was Xiangliu from her previous life!

"If you want to break the formation, then kill Xiangliu! Hahahaha, Xiaoyao, I'm looking forward to your performance."

Tu Shanjing's sinister voice reached Xiaoyao's ears.

"Tu Shanjing, you despicable villain!"

Although Xiaoyao knew it was an illusion, she was still heartbroken when she saw such a scene! Tu Shanjing wanted her to kill her beloved with her own hands!

Xiao Yao stood there in a daze, with only exhaustion in his eyes. After six days and six nights of fighting, his white clothes were already torn and tattered, stained blood red, and covered in dirt. He was such a clean person, but just throwing some poison powder on him would make him go crazy.

He shouldn't be like this! She's the one who made him like this!

Xiangliu brandished his long sword, tirelessly hacking away at the enemy. The last remaining member of Chenrong's army fell. The Xiyan soldiers near Xiangliu were also slaughtered.

Xiangliu's figure was shaky, and he struggled to stand, holding on to his long sword. He looked in the direction of Rushu and smiled as if he was relieved, but he was too tired and had lost too much blood. His body was already exhausted.

"Ruishou" waved her hand and asked the soldiers to retreat. She wanted to go forward alone.

"General, be careful of fraud!"

"It's okay. Everyone stay away. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Xiangliu looked at "Ruishou" who came forward alone and smiled with admiration. If they had never been hostile to each other, they would have been good friends.

"General Rushou, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xiangliu's voice was hoarse and playful, but not mocking. He didn't know why, but he felt like Rushou had changed.

"Ruishou" walked forward slowly, and this short road seemed like a lifetime.

"Xiang Liu..."

Xiang Liu remained silent, frowning, as if wondering why Rushu's eyes were red and tears were falling, as if he was about to lose his beloved and in despair.

"Who are you?"

"Who do you want me to be?"

"Ruishou" changed back into Xiaoyao's appearance, smiled brightly, looked sad, and stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Xiangliu's dirty face.

Xiang Liu did not dodge this time, and let his girl help him wipe the dirt off his face with heartache.

"Heh...are you here to kill me?"

Wasn't she getting married to Tu Shanjing? Why was she so stupid as to come here?

Xiaoyao nodded, then shook her head. She had already burst into tears. She knew it was fake, but she still wanted to give him a happy ending. Her sister said that before Xiangliu died, he melted her tears into his own eyes, thinking that she was sad for his death.

This fool!

Xiang Liu wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but seeing his trembling hands covered in blood, he lowered his hand silently. He turned his head away and said with a cold sneer:

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to marry Tu Shanjing? Isn't this your choice?"

"Xiangliu, I regret it. There is no possibility for him and me."

"There's no chance between you and me!"

Xiangliu slapped away Xiaoyao's hand that was touching his face. At this point, even if he could survive, he would never live in vain. He had let down his adoptive father and betrayed his brothers, and he could only die to atone for his sins.

"No, Xiangliu, listen to me, this is just an illusion, everything is fake, but I still want to tell you, after you died in battle, I divorced Tushan Jing, and I came here to accompany you, Xiangliu, don't be angry with me, I still didn't listen to you, I died for you..."

A pair of bloody hands suddenly grabbed Xiaoyao's neck. Xiangliu's face was filled with rage, and his blood-red eyes seemed to be spewing flames. His heart was bleeding. Had all his efforts been in vain? If he had known this would happen...

"You! You promised me that no matter what happened, you would survive!"

Xiaoyao was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, but she still smiled, without a trace of regret in her eyes. She was really glad that if she had not done that, she would not have the happiness she has today.

"Xiangliu, I love you. Ever since I first saw you, we've been destined to be entangled for generations to come. I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of not having you in this world anymore. So, I'm here, to find you!"

Xiangliu smiled bitterly, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant. When his hand, which was tightly pinching Xiaoyao's neck, was about to fall, Xiaoyao grabbed it and gently turned his face to the side, letting his palm touch her tear-stained face.

Xiangliu resisted subconsciously. His hands were too dirty. She was a high and mighty princess, so how could he dirty her?

But now he was already exhausted and had no strength to pull Xiaoyao's hand away.

"Xiaoyao...we shouldn't be like this..."

Xiangliu could no longer control himself. As the bloodshot pupils faded, they were stained with blood, and tears silently slid down his face.

Xiaoyao burst into laughter, shook her head, and gently rubbed Xiangliu's bloody hand. She smiled happily, and the light in her eyes was dazzling.

"Xiangliu, after I died, Grandpa Tiandao sent us back to the past. We still have an afterlife. We are married. My adoptive father is doing well. I don't want anyone else. I only want you. We are very happy!"

Xiang Liuhu asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Xiaoyao smiled and nodded: "Yes, really."

Xiangliu pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and asked carefully: "Am I good to you?"

"Okay, be very good to me. We are going to have a baby soon. As soon as we get through Merlin, we will have a baby."

"So, now in Merlin? You..."

"It's okay, it's just that Tu Shanjing has also returned. This is the illusion array he set up. I have great spiritual power now, and he is just a jumping clown. You have also turned into a dragon and become a god. It is my sister from another world who has come to our Great Wilderness. He and you were together in your previous life. You returned as a soul, and my sister helped you rebuild your physical body. We got married more than ten years ago. I have no memory before. It was my sister who saved me from the fox and took me to practice. You may not be my opponent now. Haha, and my sister is pregnant with your child from your previous life. They are twins and are about to be born. We are all very happy."

"That's good, really good, really good..."

Xiangliu's eyes were more gentle than ever before. He used his limited spiritual power to remove the dirt on his body. His white clothes were like snow, his silver hair was flying. Except for his pale lips and tired look, he seemed to have returned to the unruly and righteous young general.

"Xiaoyao, go ahead. I'll be happy if I die in your hands..."

Xiaoyao's heart ached. She could have said nothing, let things take their original course, and let him die with a thousand arrows piercing his heart. But she had selfish motives. She wanted him to die without regrets. Even if it was just an illusion.

Xiaoyao knew that she couldn't delay too long. If Xiang Yao was in an illusion, what had he experienced? Her fingers were pinched white, and she raised the sword tremblingly, pointing it at Xiang Liu's heart. Her lips were bitten white, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Just when she couldn't bear to do it anymore and closed her eyes, she heard the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh. Xiangliu pulled her body hard and she fell forward subconsciously. Xiaoyao opened her eyes in horror, but saw Xiangliu looking at her with a gentle smile. The corners of his pale mouth were dyed red by the blood mixed with flesh he spit out. He held the sword tightly, and the sharp blade pierced through his heart. A burst of energy burst out at his heart, and his whole heart was shattered into a pool of blood.

He still had six lives left, how could he bear to let his girl kill him six times... Even if it was in a fantasy...

Xiaoyao hurriedly released the hilt of her sword and held Xiangliu, who was about to fall. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out. Xiaoyao's whole body was trembling, the fear in her heart was so real. She cried silently, tears falling uncontrollably on Xiangliu's bloodless face. Her eyes were filled with tears...

"Xiaoyao... I have never regretted loving you. I have nine lives... but only one heart. Even if this is just a dream, I am very happy... You told me this... I... have no regrets..."

His head drooped weakly, and Xiangliu fell into Xiaoyao's arms, with a hint of the happy smile in Xiaoyao's dream on his lips.

"what……"

Xiaoyao howled to the sky, watching Xiangliu's body disappear bit by bit in front of her eyes. The blood in Xiaoyao's eyes spread, and she felt the illusion shattering bit by bit. At this moment, she really hated Tushan Jing!

She had originally not taken him seriously. She wanted to kill him only because he sacrificed people, killed innocent people, and harmed the demon clan. As long as he didn't touch the people she was protecting, she would let him live!

"Does it hurt? Xiaoyao, back then, watching your corpse disintegrate in front of me, the pain you feel now is the same pain I felt then. Why could you be so cruel! You abandoned me in the vast ocean without a word! He's already dead! There's no body left! You're already my wife! Why did you run away? Why? I'm so humble that I don't want anything anymore, I don't even want your heart! As long as I can be by your side, I'm willing to be a servant! I gave up everything. Isn't this what you asked for? You're all I have! And you're abandoning me! I love you so much..."

Xiao Yao slowly stood up, suppressing her grief, and looked around warily. This wasn't Merlin anymore. Tu Shanjing also had a teleportation array! Where had she been taken? This seemed to be a secret room, surrounded by dense runes. Was this his plan? Imprison her? It truly was a bloodline inheritance!

I hope Ayao is okay...

Xiao Yao impatiently interrupted Tu Shanjing's self-pity, it was really disgusting to listen to!

"That's enough, Tu Shanjing, you don't understand love at all, and you don't deserve love!"

Tu Shanjing hid in the corner with a ferocious look on his face. Everyone could look down on him, except Xiaoyao! He roared angrily:

"I'm not worthy? Does that lowly nine-headed demon deserve it?"

"No, the truly despicable person is you! Xiangliu has lived an upright life, with no regrets. Although he is a demon, he is a soft-hearted god! I have never regretted loving him! I only hate the injustice of the world. The real demons are dressed in silk and satin, glamorous and beautiful, but secretly harming lives and exploiting the people! The most despicable and lowly person is you! You are not worthy of being a human being at all!"

Tu Shanjing seemed to know that he couldn't win the argument with Xiaoyao, so he didn't intend to argue with her anymore! He sneered:

"It's okay. Soon, you'll be obedient. Oh, by the way, this place, in this world, no one can find it except me, even if you have a lover's poison! Your Xiang Liu must be crazy now! Even if he finds me, I will make him die again! And your sister, she might have become a corpse now. Hahahaha, I said, I will make you lose everything again! I will come to see you again!"

Xiaoyao's heart sank, but she couldn't let her plans get messed up. Ignoring Tu Shanjing's deliberate provocation, she walked over to the stone bed and sat cross-legged. She was alone now, and she had to preserve her strength!

After Tu Shanjing left, wisps of black energy poured into the secret room, trying to get close to Xiaoyao and invade her mind...
