Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 120 Turning the Tables to Become King (33)

"Cough cough cough." Shen Yun looked at him suspiciously, "What did you say?" Could it be that she is getting old and can't hear clearly anymore?
Xia Yuyan didn't speak, but simply lowered his head slightly, his eyes downcast, and even the ahoge (cowlick) on his head was drooping.

"Wait for me for a month, and I promise to give you an answer after a month," Shen Yun said sincerely, blinking her big eyes.

Xia Yuyan, who had finally received a satisfactory reply, was tricked away by Shen Yun with just a few words. Afterwards, she had someone bring her another piece of clothing, not bright yellow, but just ordinary moon white.

Her long, ink-black hair was tied up with only a wooden hairpin. Perhaps she was a little tired, as there were dark circles under her eyes and her lips were bright red. She exuded a bewitching charm from the inside out.

Facing the dim bronze mirror, Shen Yun could only carefully apply jasmine powder to the skin exposed outside the silk scarf. Although it couldn't completely cover it up, it didn't look so ambiguous anymore.

Xia Yuliu now lives in the most scenic spot in the entire palace, surrounded by lakes, with a unique palace built in the very center.

The lake is filled with many red or gold koi. Every late autumn, crimson maple leaves drift across the lake, and the koi swim around, swishing their little tails beneath the leaves. The scene is breathtaking.

Shen Yun walked briskly across the curved mahogany bridge, holding two exquisitely round jade stones in her hands. She had originally planned to play with walnuts, but unfortunately, the equipment wasn't up to par.

The bracelet on her wrist was shaking wildly; if someone saw it now, they'd probably go crazy.

The original owner had never been able to reach 100% of the mission points. Shen Yun guessed that it was because Xia Yuliu was living too comfortably, so the original owner was still unwilling.

Even before entering the room, the strong aroma of wine was already wafting out.

She stood at the doorway, watching the people inside drink one sip of wine after another.

It was quite novel; it was the first time she had ever seen someone whose luck could be depleted so quickly. Incompetent, foolish, perverted, and finally dejected, he had truly experienced an extremely colorful life.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, he merely raised his eyes, his weariness undiminished, and said, "You've come."

"They all said you were dead, but I never believed it, and now I know you are."

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow. She was dressed as a man now. Although her appearance was a bit delicate, she would definitely not be mistaken for a woman.

Seeing his confusion, Xia Yuliu smiled sarcastically, "Whether you believe it or not, I won't mistake you."

Shen Yun: ? ? ? Something feels off. Shouldn't the two of them be like antagonists? After all, she was the one who stole his throne.

"I've made many mistakes these past few years, Changrao, I'm sorry." He breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Actually, all along, the only person I've ever loved is you."

Seeing this, Shen Yun stopped pretending and sneered, "So much so that you almost wiped out the Mu family?"

He opened his mouth, then fell silent. Indeed, he was the one who did all these things. Looking back now, he really was a complete bastard.

But if he were given another chance, the outcome probably wouldn't change; that's just the kind of person he is.

"You're too perfect. Whenever I see you, it's as if I'm reminded of my despicable past. Your existence constantly reminds me that all my achievements back then were due to you and the Mu family." "What about Mu Changxue? She's also a member of the Mu family. Don't you feel uncomfortable seeing her?" They're all members of the Mu family. Can't you at least be more professional in exterminating a clan? Wouldn't it be better to treat everyone equally?

With a pale face, she managed a weak smile, her eyes slightly moist. "Her? It's probably because she and I are the same kind of people. People of the same kind can always get along. Her despicable nature is even worse than mine. When I see her, I feel like I was born with light, and I don't feel so guilty."

Shen Yun was not moved by his words; on the contrary, he felt disgusted. The original owner had been with his father in the military camp since childhood, so he was straightforward and not very cunning. He knew that he had a half-sister. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he was happy in his heart. After all, his father only had two children.

Xia Yuliu is the tragic figure of the original owner's first love. He approached her for his own benefit. Although he liked her, he treated her as someone dispensable. Once his own interests were threatened, he quickly kicked her out.

One was her closest relative, and the other her dearest love, yet they both betrayed her, putting the original owner to death.

Shen Yun took the wine glass from his hand and slammed it on the table, spilling a drop or two of wine.

She suddenly smiled, her eyes slightly upturned, and her dimples seemed to gain a touch of allure. "Xia Yuliu, even if you weren't the emperor, you could support yourself very well. I think storytelling would be a very good profession."

"I didn't..." he hurriedly tried to defend himself. At this point, how could he still use lies to cover it up?

"You are." Her brows furrowed, and a cold aura enveloped her. "You always manage to find a reasonable excuse for yourself. What's wrong with despicable methods? In this world, only the victors deserve to be remembered. As for the methods used by the victors, others will naturally embellish them."

"But you shouldn't have messed with the Mu family. What did the Mu family do wrong?"

"For you, everything you do is perfectly justified, and so it is for me."

"You should be thankful that at least your flattery back then won you a dream that most people could never achieve in their entire lives. But now, the dream is over, and everything you have has turned into a mirage. What doesn't belong to you will eventually leave you."

She patted his cheek and said coldly, "If you say these words today to get me to release you, then you are dreaming. Although I have avenged the Mu family, do you remember those Mu family members who died unjustly under your blade? Will those wronged souls forgive you?"

"Alright, you may live out your days in peace here. From today onwards, I will never set foot here again, nor will I allow anyone else to disturb you. Of course, if you have any special needs, I will have them met." Before leaving, Shen Yun added a final blow, watching the mission points instantly jump to 100%. She curled her lips and said sincerely, "It was I who caused your infertility."

After saying that, she walked out with light and cheerful steps, and as for the reactions of the people behind her, that was no longer her concern.

She could understand his feelings. He had nothing left, so he was trying to find an excuse for his shamelessness. He claimed that the mistakes he made were all forced upon him by outsiders.

It must be said that with his good attitude, he could live quite freely even without her interference.

It's just a despicable tactic; as long as he achieves his goal, that's fine. Unfortunately, she won't just stand by and watch him get what he wants.

After a while, the sound of porcelain breaking came from inside the room.

Soon after, deathly silence returned.

Before going to bed: We're going to do our makeup together tomorrow (｀ω)
The sun the next day: No, you don't want to ()
