She became a god

Throughout history, people have lamented the decline of heroes and the graying hair of beauties.

This argument undoubtedly equates a hero's personal abilities with a woman's appearance.

It often gives people the illusion that women are beautiful enough, just like men are true heroes.

But is this really the case?

Heroes can often decide whether a beauty stays or leaves, but beauties usually end up as mere appendages to heroes.

When most people act for their own benefit, they won't say it's for their own benefit, but will find another excuse to prevent their ambitions from being criticized.

Is the person who would risk everything for a woman truly driven by her own desires or by personal greed?

Take Xue Suimu's relationship with Zhao Man as an example. Does he really love Zhao Man herself?

He was simply unwilling to accept that the good things in his eyes all belonged to Xue Suihan, who was inferior to him.

Even if Zhao Man's appearance and personality don't pique his interest, they will still make him care.

Because obtaining Zhao Man means that Xue Suimu has obtained what should have belonged to Xue Suihan.

What about Zhao Man? What about Li Man?

It's just a code name!

However, it's all about satisfying men's vanity and self-confidence.

Love is nothing but a fig leaf for this filthy and disgusting desire.

Anyone who believes that is a fool!

Ye Qingzhou, anyway, didn't believe it.

"Let's just say you love Zhao Man! So what?"

"Your love for her doesn't necessarily mean you won't kill her. There are plenty of men in this world who kill their wives."

"I'm not a cultivator who kills his wife to attain enlightenment!"

Xue Suimu tried her best to protest, but Ye Qingzhou said, "The person who killed his wife will not admit to killing her."

As the year draws to a close, I choke on my words, pondering how to refute the argument.

But the other party said, "Besides, you have many reasons to kill Zhao Man!"

Xue Suimu was speechless. He clearly had no intention of killing Zhao Man, yet people were saying that he had ample reason to kill her.

Why would I kill her?

"First, you stopped treasuring her after you got her."

"Second, you became enraged when she resisted fiercely and beat her to death."

"Third, during the chase, if you feel that she has harmed you, kill her to vent your anger."

"Fourth, you felt she was a burden and hindered your escape, so you killed her."

Xue Suimu rolled her eyes. "Do you have paranoia?"

"Tell me if the reasons I gave are reasonable or not."

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext." Xue Suimu sneered. "Using conclusions to deduce causes, especially fabricated causes, you're never afraid of running out of reasons."

Xue Suimu grumbled and cursed, but in his heart he had accepted his defeat.

After all, the other party is even more ruthless and thoughtful than I am. If I lose, so be it, it's not shameful.

Anyway, I won't die for now.

After all, Xue Suibao still needs to cure his poison himself.

Seeing Xue Suimu remain silent, Ye Qingzhou chuckled, "It's good that you've thought it through, so I don't have to waste my breath."

"What were you planning to do with all that talking?"

Let's talk about Mu Fengchun!

"Why would I care about his life?" Xue Suimu now felt that she had made a bad mistake.

Since I despise Mu Fengchun so much, it would be a good thing if someone could kill him for me.

Ye Qingzhou smiled slightly and said, "You still say you don't care? I never said I wanted Mu Fengchun dead. But you're so afraid of him dying. There must be something fishy going on."

Xue Suimu's brow twitched. "Go ahead and try to be sentimental on his behalf! You only ever say what you want to say and don't care about other people's true feelings."

Ye Qingzhou immediately let out a laugh even more arrogant than a villain's, "How come you only realized this now?"

"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Qingzhou looked at Xue Suimu with amusement. Her contemptuous yet confident gaze made the other woman feel like she was a plaything in her hands, at her mercy.

Xue Suimu felt that the other person must be a man.

Because he had never seen a woman so at ease treating a man with such a completely superior attitude.

If he had left the Central Continent and the human realm, perhaps he wouldn't think that way.

Although he was talented, he could only revolve around Snow City, knowing only about Central Continent, but unaware of the vastness of the world and the wonders it holds.

Ye Qingzhou took out a dagger, brought it close to Xue Suimu's head, and with a gentle touch, cut off a tuft of hair.

"What a fine dagger that can cut through iron like mud! You'd better behave, or I don't want to hurt you."

Xue Suimu didn't believe the other party's nonsense, but in the face of absolute power, his complaints would only bring trouble.

He wanted to remain silent, but remembering the other person's despicable character, he could only say, "I believe you."

I don't believe you!

Fortunately, Ye Qingzhou did not continue to demand that Xue Suimu believe him, but instead asked another question.

"You're so good to Mu Fengchun, much better than you are to Xue Suihan and Xue Suibao."

"Could you two be brothers?"

"You think too much."

A smart person will not believe what another smart person says, especially a seemingly categorical denial.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou continued, "You and Mu Fengchun do not look very alike. Is he your half-brother, half-brother, or even a sibling?"

"You can choose whichever one you want."

Ye Qingzhou was intrigued by Xue Suimu's nonchalant attitude. "If you don't want to answer, that's fine. I can ask Lord Xue or your mother."

Whether it was Ye Qingzhou's imagination or not, after saying those words, Xue Suimu's eyes actually welled up with tears.

"Then go to the Underworld and ask my mother."

Ye Qingzhou was taken aback. Seeing that Xue Suimu didn't seem to be faking it, he said, "I didn't mean to mention that you lost your mother."

Are you apologizing because you feel guilty?

"is a bit."

Will you let me go because of this?

"will not."

"Then your apology is less hypocritical than Xuehong's."

Tsk tsk! That's quite a comment...

It seems Xue Suimu really dislikes Xue Hong.

The discussion of the relationship between Yuki and the other person had to be put on hold.

But Ye Qingzhou still casually asked a question, "Actually, I don't quite understand. Before the incident, Young Master Xue was frail and sickly, and Young Master Xue was arrogant and unreasonable, while your reputation as Young Master Xue was gradually spreading throughout Zhongzhou. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You've endured it for so many years, why can't you endure it for a few more years?"

"Endure?" Xue Suimu seemed to have heard a huge joke. "I have endured for so many years, but I am not the heir in Xue Hong's eyes. Instead, I am treated as a servant by the Xue family, summoned and dismissed at will."

"Ha! If I keep putting up with this, I'll really become a durable, good dog!"

"Those who achieve great things throughout history have never been concerned with trivial matters. I have only failed, so it is your place to question me. If I had succeeded, you would surely be showing me a completely different face right now."

That's a very...

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Ye Qingzhou would have applauded him.

Anyway, it's not like he's killing his own relatives and friends. Ye Qingzhou has always admired people with ambition and strategy.

But since I already have a grudge against the other party, there's no need for that.

So Ye Qingzhou smiled slightly and reminded Xue Suimu, "You have to be good and remember to do as I say, otherwise I'm afraid I'll scare you."
