"If you truly love me, why did you make me marry him back then? Why didn't you take me away with you?" the woman asked, her voice filled with resentment as she gazed at him.
"Heh, run away? Back then, we had no money, no power, and even basic living was a problem, not to mention practicing. But it's different here, money, power, cultivation resources, aren't they all at our disposal? Yi'er, don't worry. Once I get rid of him, the Poison Dance Sect will be ours..." The man's cold laughter echoed in the darkness.
"Hmm, then I'll trust you one more time." The woman stopped resisting, reached out to embrace the man's neck, and the two began a wild adventure in the dense forest.
They thought no one saw any of this, but everything unfolded in eyes that were bright and sparkling like rubies.
Xiao Xuan'er disdainfully pursed her lips, turned around, and disappeared into the nearby bushes.
...
Back at the courtyard, Xiao Xuan'er recounted everything she had seen to Mu Qianyue.
