"Master, I adore watching you cry the most.
Especially when you beg me for mercy while crying, it looks so beautiful."
The warm glow of the candlelight and his cold, narrow fingers traced her eyebrows and eyes, slightly reddening the tips of his eyes.
Chu Yan wiped away the remaining tears at the corner of her eyes, his lips curved into a faint smile.
The dim candlelight fell on his handsome face, making the fresh red tear mole at the corner of his eyes even more captivating, his phoenix eyes serene and less indifferent.
Chu Yan couldn't help but lower his head and kissed the sleeping Qin Zhao, feeling that obtaining the person before him was the happiest event of his life.
He wished that time could stop here forever, even if the road to immortality was just within reach.
As long as he could be with Qin Zhao, he was willing to give up ascension and becoming immortal.
Chu Yan glanced at the room's decor, filled with red silk, for in a few days, it would be their grand wedding.
He extinguished the red candle and left the room.
Many people outside wanted to take away his master, and Chu Yan planned to deal with all of them.
Soon, he wanted to give Qin Zhao the most grandiose wedding so that all the cultivators of the Canglan Realm would know that they had become Daoist partners.
His master, from then on, would belong only to him.
Not long after Chu Yan left, Qin Zhao opened her eyes.
She took out a Luminous Pearl, and the dark room instantly lit up.
Seeing the red silk and joyful candles in the room, her eyes couldn't help but carry a hint of mockery.
Having cultivated for a thousand years, nearly at the point of ascension, Qin Zhao had never thought she would fall at the hands of her own disciple.
The Evil Disciple not only interrupted her ascension but also sealed her cultivation with prohibitions and even wanted to claim her as his possession, behaving utterly unreasonably.
Yet, Chu Yan treated her well, obeying her every command.
Having been together for many years, it was inevitable that they had developed some feelings.
Qin Zhao had planned to persuade him after the marriage to ascend to the Immortal Realm together.
However, Qin Zhao discovered that Chu Yan was the Evil Cultivator they had united to kill five hundred years ago.
His soul had taken possession of someone else, purposely approaching her to seek revenge.
Thus, his kindness was all an act.
Just to earn her trust and push her into the Endless Abyss.
How ridiculous it was for a being as powerful as a Divinity Transformation Venerable to be reduced to a disciple's confined person. Her cultivation was completely sealed, no better than a common human—what a joke! Qin Zhao might become the laughingstock of the entire Canglan Realm.
Was this Chu Yan's goal?
To make her fall from grace into the mud, trapped by him forever, unable to turn over!
She would definitely not give Chu Yan the chance to humiliate her !
Qin Zhao sat up cross-legged, having long thought of a way to handle the internal prohibitions.
Violent thunder sounded from the sky.
The entire mountain range was shrouded in dark clouds, with a terrifying pressure brewing, as if it were the apocalypse.
Chu Yan, with his longsword, instantly stopped in his tracks.
The man's shocked and fearful scream rang out amidst the thunder.
Chu Yan took up his sword and rushed into the terrifying Thunder Punishment, trying to shield her, but the overwhelming spiritual power turned out to be an illusion, instantly dissipating, the vision before him filled with a piercing red, like thick blood.
She, in her red clothes, crashed into Chu Yan's longsword, her gaze fierce and resolute.
"Chu Yan, remember, you killed me with your own hands!"
This statement by Qin Zhao became his eternal nightmare, casting him forever into the abyss, without redemption.
And this was the result she desired.
She had forcefully progressed, breaking through the restrictions, causing her body to become extremely weak.
She could not withstand the Thunder Punishment or the power of Chu Yan's sword.
Before she died, she vaguely felt Chu Yan continuously calling her name, his voice filled with pain, trying to save her, but it was all in vain as her consciousness still dissipated.
When she regained consciousness, Qin Zhao found herself in a modern-day hospital.
The door before her bore a nameplate.
Obstetrics and Gynecology.
"Why aren't you dead?"
A foreign memory surged into Qin Zhao's mind.
It was as if she had arrived in a world completely different from the Canglan Realm.
The original owner had a decent background but was merely a beautiful but empty vase, prone to causing trouble.
Relying on some family connections, she had entered the entertainment industry, frequently hogging the limelight to gain fame as a minor actress through scandals.
Moreover, six months ago, she had married someone for money.
Qin Zhao was somewhat uncomfortable with this new identity. The memories in her head were a bit chaotic as she rubbed her temples, intending to leave the hospital and go home to check things out.
But from a distance, she saw a familiar figure.
The person stood tall, clad in a clean white coat, with delicate and strikingly handsome features, and a bright red mole at the corner of his eye, imparting an aura of cool indifference.
He exuded a chilly yet desiring presence.
The young girls nearby were sneaking glances at him.
But the doctor's presence was so commanding that they didn't dare approach him.
Upon seeing him, Qin Zhao felt as if struck by lightning and quickly pushed open the door into one of the gynecology clinics.
Her heart was racing, almost as if it would burst out of her chest.
Why was Chu Yan, that Evil Disciple, here?
The doctor she had just seen looked exactly like Chu Yan!
"Hello, please take a seat. How many months pregnant are you?"
Inside the room, came the doctor's inquiry.
Qin Zhao jumped in shock.
Was this body pregnant?
She hurriedly searched her memory and then breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, her heart tightened again.
The good news was, she wasn't pregnant.
The bad news was, she was married to the man she had just seen, who was the doctor!
Moreover, the original owner had even cuckholded Dr. Chu.
She came to the hospital today to seek a divorce from him.
"Sorry, I entered the wrong clinic."
Qin Zhao said to the doctor and turned to leave.
By the time she came out, Chu Yan had already left.
Ding-a-ling, her phone rang.
"Qin Zhao, I'm at the hospital. Where are you? I'll come find you."
The caller was Xie Han, a rather famous actor in the entertainment industry, who had even won an award for Best Actor.
Yes, he was "her" affair partner.
Soon after, she met Xie Han.
Xie Han had handsome features, although not as stunning as Chu Yan.
But his face was somewhat pale, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
"Let's break up, I've fallen for someone else."
As Qin Zhao observed Xie Han, she heard this statement.
Qin Zhao nodded, her eyes falling on his neck where a Jade Pendant hung.
"You'd better stay away from that woman. She's an evil soul residing in the Ancient Jade, known for absorbing men's energy to strengthen her own power."
"Are you talking about this Jade?"
Xie Han, noticing her gaze, scoffed.
"This is a charm I obtained from a master to ensure my career goes smoothly.
Qin Zhao, are you making up excuses because you don't want to break up? An evil soul in Ancient Jade, you could've found a better excuse.
Regardless, we must break up. You know my nature; dating for two weeks is already a long time for me."
