Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Chapter 577 - 289 Ye’s Plan_2

Chapter 577: Chapter 289 Ye’s Plan_2Jiang Shouzhong heaved a silent sigh and whispered to Qu Hongling:

"This situation was caused by my own doing. I should have told Qingchen the truth earlier instead of choosing to hide it with an indifferent attitude.

After we go back, I will explain everything to her and try to restore the sisterly bond between you two."

Qu Hongling forced a slight smile, her cherry lips moved, but no sound came out.

She definitely wanted a sisterhood.

And she also desired romantic love.

After a moment, Qu Hongling spoke softly, "Jiang, I know you won’t forgive me, but I still need to explain myself to you. When my memory came back, I didn’t plan to leave.

At that time, the situation in Sky Demon Sect was chaotic, and Ms. Qiu who raised me was in danger. Without my help, she would have no one to rely on. Moreover, there were too many people from both the Demon Clan and the court who wanted me dead.

Ms. Qiu told me, if I insisted on staying in Anhe Village, once my identity was exposed, both you and Ye would be in danger..."

Qu Hongling’s eyes filled with tears, allowing the wind to shatter her teardrops as she continued:

"I initially thought that, after dealing with the matters of Sky Demon Sect, I would return to Anhe Village under a new name and be with you forever. But I was afraid you, Jiang, would leave Anhe Village to look for me and fall into danger. So I followed Ms. Qiu’s advice and left you a letter of divorce.

Ms. Qiu said that by doing so, Jiang, you might hate me, but you wouldn’t seek me out and take risks, ensuring your safety. And when I returned, I could apologize to you, Jiang, and we could still be together...

I thought Ms. Qiu was right, so that’s why I left you the letter and disappeared without a goodbye.

But I never expected such an incident would happen in Anhe Village.

Initially, I thought someone was taking revenge on you because of me, which is why I went to Thousand Beasts Forest determined to die, but later I found out the court was also involved..."

At this point, Jiang Shouzhong felt a shift in his heart.

According to reports from Liushan Division, a year ago Qu Hongling had stormed into Thousand Beasts Forest, killing several experts, and she herself had nearly died there from severe injuries.

If it weren’t for the Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Clan mediating in time, the flames of this internal strife would have burned longer.

He Benquan was also initially assassinated by Qu Hongling.

Clearly, the young girl had been striving to track down the real culprit all year long.

"I’ve been secretly investigating, planning to avenge you and Ye, and then join you in the underworld.

Jiang, I truly thought you were dead. If I had known you were still alive, Hong’er would have definitely

muttered Jiang Shouzhong.

——

At the bottom of Huailan Lake.

Yan Changqing sat on the altar, his expression desolate.

The nine-tailed fox that was once imprisoned in the iron cage had disappeared without a trace.

Now standing beside Yan Changqing was a woman.

The woman had a gentle and elegant demeanor, like willow branches swaying in the misty rain of the south, exuding an ethereal beauty beyond the mortal world.

"Senior Yan, thank you for being willing to help Jiang,"

Ye Zhuchan said softly.

Yan Changqing’s smile carried a trace of bitterness: "Have I also been calculated by you?"

Ye Zhuchan tidied the hair beside her ear, laughing as she said:

"The world is unpredictable, if I could calculate everything, I wouldn’t be trapped here. Jiang’s fortune always comes unexpectedly. However, it’s only right that he experiences some setbacks in love."

Yan Changqing stood up and said, "Have you thought it through? If you wish, I can take you out. The Yin Yang River Map Sword can suppress the Seal of Ten Thousand Buddhas here."

Yan Changqing paused, his tone bitter, "Even... if you are not my daughter."

Ye Zhuchan shook her head gently: "No, with my current condition, I would only be a burden if I went out. Moreover, I want to take a chance to see if I can complete the last step of the plan."

Yan Changqing took a deep look at the woman, then turned and left.

Ye Zhuchan watched him go, looking up towards the Emperor’s palace location, she murmured, "I still underestimated this Emperor after all. Indeed, a man won’t stumble over the same stone twice."

"Heh, you think you’re the smartest one in the world?"

A fox phantom slowly appeared, its mockery clear as its nine tails swayed behind it without any wind, evoking an enchanting beauty.

Ye Zhuchan smiled: "Of course, I’m not the smartest, but there are plenty who are more foolish than I am."

"Be careful not to play with fire and get burned," warned the nine-tailed fox.

Ye Zhuchan gently traced her cheek, touching the scar on her face, and said in a low voice, "I have already set myself on fire, so I am not afraid."

The nine-tailed demon fox suddenly asked, "Why not tell Yan Changqing that Ran Qingchen is his daughter?"

Ye Zhuchan was silent for a moment, her calm eyes carrying a hint of dimness, slowly saying, "He knows what to do, for someone facing death, life is the least of their concerns.

As for Ran Qingchen, Jiang Wan had already done enough. I simply added a little more, setting a trap for the Emperor and the Asura Queen. If Ran Qingchen truly faces a dead end, Jiang Wan will reveal himself."

Suddenly, Ye Zhuchan revealed a charming smile, extending her slender jade-like hand in front of her, her fingers slowly parting.

"I dare to kill even an Immortal, what is an Emperor to me."
