She became a god

Xue Suihan looked at the girl who brought him the medicine and sincerely thanked her, "Miss Zhao Qi, thank you for your kindness, but I wasn't the one who met you back then, so you don't need to do so much for me."

Upon hearing this, the young woman looked dejected. "Young Master, why do you think love exists in this world?"

Before Xue Suihan could offer any comfort, she covered her face and wept, saying, "My mother was raped by my father while he was drunk because of her beauty, and everyone says it was love."

"I saw the Second Young Master disguised as you, and fell in love with the you that I kept embellishing in my memory. This too is love."

"I really don't know who I love?"

"But... when you lay dying in your hospital bed, my heart ached unbearably..."

"Young Master, has anyone ever told you that you are a thousand times better than the rumors suggest!"

"I love the gentle and loving gentleman in my memory, but you touch me more than my memory."

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her father's favoritism, Xue Suihan rarely received such warm and sincere affirmation from outsiders.

A tiny electric current flowed through Xue Suihan's body, rushing to his heart with his blood, exploding into brilliant fireworks in his mind.

Xue Suihan hurriedly handed the girl a handkerchief, "Man'er, thank you."

"You just want to thank me?" The girl smiled wryly. "I know you look down on me. You look down on my infatuation with you, you look down on my love for you even though I've never met you, you look down on my ability to love only an imagined version of you."

"In front of you, I am like an actor, and the most tragic actor at that."

"Because you don't love me, you..."

The girl was about to continue crying when Xue Suihan grabbed her hand and said, "No, I love you!"

The girl seemed startled by his words, and looked up in astonishment. Tears still clung to her dark blue eyelashes as she murmured, "Don't try to fool me."

Xue Suihan gently wiped away the girl's tears with a handkerchief and said earnestly, "I will never lie to you."

"Then... what about Sister Lin Er?"

"I will divorce her and let her go..."

Xue Suihan paused for a moment, then said, "It can be considered as she wished."

Lin Jingxi held the divorce papers in her hand, laughing heartily, tears even glistening in her eyes.

how many years?

She was no longer Xue Lin Shi!

No longer a caged bird in this secluded mansion!

Cui'er, a maid who was on good terms with her, cried out, "Madam, please take care!"

She smiled and said, "My name is Lin Jingxi. You can call me Miss Lin. If you prefer, you can also call me Sister Lin."

She has many titles, but she is no longer just an appendage of one person!

Cui'er looked at this exceptionally smug woman and felt a sense of unfamiliarity, yet also a longing for her.

"Miss Lin, where are you going next?"

"I want to see the sky, chase the wind, admire the moon, find friends, seek food, enjoy the scenery, ask questions, do what I want to do, and go where I want to go."

"That sounds great!"

"Of course, this is the life I envisioned ten years ago."

Lin Jingxi handed Cui'er a bag of spirit stones, saying, "Redeem yourself and do what you like."

"I don't have anyone I particularly like... Miss Lin doesn't need to be nice to me."

"Take your time searching, you'll find it eventually. Cui'er, you're still very young, you should at least go and see the moon in other places."

After saying that, Lin Jingxi left with Lin Jingchuan.

Two major events have recently occurred in Snow City, both related to the city lord's family.

Firstly, not long after the Lin family's orphan sought refuge there, the Xue family allowed their daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home.

Secondly, on the day the eldest son of the Xue family remarried, the second son snatched the bride in public, but the bride was nowhere to be found.

In the main hall, Xue Hong casually threw the jade paperweight at them.

"You unfilial son, look what you've done!"

Xue Suimo remained motionless, letting the jade paperweight smash his head until it bled profusely.

“Father, you’re not fair! They’re all your sons, but you favor the eldest brother and spoil the youngest. As for me, you beat and scold me all the time.”

"You are my son, and I am your father. It is only natural for a father to discipline his son!"

Fresh blood dripped down, and Xue Suimu licked it; it tasted bitter.

"If Father thinks I kidnapped the bride, then come and take action!"

"Second brother, are you out of your mind?" Xue Suihan frowned and said, "Hand over Man'er, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"

"Let bygones be bygones? You're going to let bygones be bygones against me?" Xue Suimu laughed wildly, "You don't deserve it!"

"You are the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and you have enjoyed the best treatment since childhood. Even if you were a sickly good-for-nothing, people would still love you! But what about me? Just because I am a son of a concubine, am I supposed to suffer all kinds of contempt?"

"Has Second Brother gone mad?" Xue Suibao muttered upon seeing this.

Soon, Xue Suimu's cold gaze fixed on him.

"Xue Suibao, you good-for-nothing. Xue Suihan wastes resources taking medicine, and you waste resources causing trouble! Both of you only bring trouble to the family. I, on the other hand, will bring glory to the family."

"But you are luckier than me. One of you was born into the womb of the first wife who died young, and the other became the only son of the young and beautiful second wife. You just have a good mother and a father who only cares about whether the child is legitimate or not, which is why you have the right to bully me."

"I, Xue Suimu, a genius with an ice-spiritual root, a thirty-year-old Golden Core cultivator, why should I live in your shadow? Why..."

His heart-wrenching cries did not elicit any sympathy from others.

Xue Suibao thought he was crazy!

Xue Suihan was deeply worried about Zhao Man's condition.

Xuehong was absolutely furious!

The act of forcibly taking a bride is already laughable, and he also harbors resentment towards his brothers and his father.

This son cannot be allowed to live!

With a single move, "Snowy Sea and Iceberg," Xue Suimu was not blown to pieces.

In the lobby, only wood chips were flying everywhere.

"Father, the next time we meet, I'll be the one to kill you!"

"Evil son!"

Xue Hong's roar had no effect on Xue Suimu, who had already fled far away; instead, it stunned Xue Suihan.

He had just summoned a doctor to treat Xue Suihan when a servant reported, "Master, the young master's face is flushed, and he has also fainted."

After a thorough examination, it was discovered that Xue Suibao had been poisoned by Seven Stars Rainbow.

This poison was extracted from the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects; it has a complex composition and is highly toxic.

The poisoned person's body will change color in sequence over seven months, from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to indigo to violet. By the seventh month, the body will gradually turn purplish until it becomes a deep purplish color, at which point there will be no cure.

The most difficult thing to treat with Seven Star Lottery is that it is a kind of poison, and the condition varies from person to person after being poisoned, and the results also vary from pharmacy to pharmacy.

Only by finding the mother worm can it be cured.

After much thought, I concluded that the poison must have been administered by Xue Suimu.

"What a misfortune for my family!" Xue Hong wailed, slapping his thigh. "How could I, with my lifelong reputation for virtue, have given birth to such a narrow-minded, vicious, and unfilial son?"

After venting his anger, Xue Hong immediately ordered, "Seal off the city gates and issue an investigation order. If Xue Suimu can be captured and Zhao Man found within five months, Xuecheng is willing to offer the Ice Soul Divine Sword as a reward."

The news caused a frenzy throughout Central Continent.
