On the third day here, my body underwent incredible changes. Spots appeared on the skin of my feet. I didn't take it seriously at first, but later on, those spots expanded and turned into hard bark.
God's punishment...has arrived as promised!
I haven't sealed Yan Xiaoqing, and I haven't brought complete happiness to her yet. How can I be willing to do so?
In just seven days, the skin on the lower body had completely transformed into a shell as hard as tree bark.
This reminds me of a story in the Buddhist scriptures.
Before Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, became a monk, he met a young girl on the road and was inseparable from her.
Buddha asked him: How much do you like that girl?
Ananda replied, "I would like to transform into a stone bridge and be exposed to five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sunshine, and five hundred years of rain, if only this girl could walk across the bridge."
Now, I share the same fate as Ananda.
The only difference is that he is willing to turn into a stone bridge, but I can't choose what to become.
Yan Xiaoqing wants Xia Yan's life from the beginning to the end, and I can't kill Yan Xiaoqing like I killed Qi Yao. If I want to resolve it, I can only use the last resort to sink the boat.
When Xia Yan made a bet with Yan Xiaoqing, he secretly made a contract, asking them to abide by the rules no matter what.
The contract stipulates that Yan Xiaoqing shall not invade an inch of Xia's land within a hundred years.
This correspondingly solves the problem that Xia Yan will not have any unexpected troubles within a hundred years. As for Xia Yan's death a hundred years later, where the little princess will go is beyond my control.
Once the contract comes into effect, it cannot be changed.
And what I have to do next is to make the person "Liu Chi" completely disappear from her sight.
I had told her before that she could come to me whenever and wherever she had any difficulties, but now this promise will eventually become an empty promise.
The longer you stay, the more reluctant you are to leave.
While I was healing Yan Xiaoqing, I deliberately revealed the news about advancing the time. For a moment, everyone turned me into an enemy, and of course she was no exception.
It only takes a moment to hate someone, but it takes a lifetime to love someone.
I want her to feel like a waste even thinking about me in the future.
As I expected, after Yan Xiaoqing learned the so-called truth, he immediately went to Changting and helped her restore her memory.
This is another kind of torture for me.
When Xia Yan fell down, I saw her eyes full of sadness. It was a kind of pain that had no place to complain. She should hate me obviously, but she showed a struggling expression.
I know that it was Ao Xiaoying's memory that affected her.
I don't want her to get entangled.
Only hatred can achieve absolute renunciation.
If you want someone to hate you, it's actually very simple. You just need to take away everything they have and leave them with nothing. Even a god will be angry.
I pretended to be angry at Qi Xuan, Yan Xitong and even Yan Xiaoqing.
I want her to feel an unprecedented threat, I want her to be afraid, I want her to be desperate, I want her to wonder, Liu Chi, how could you become like this.
I want her... never to think of me again.
I did it.
She said: Actually there is a third way, which is to kill you.
In this fight, I was already beyond my capabilities. When I saw her making fatal moves for Xia Yan, I knew that this was the end of fate.
I can't do anything except smile at her.
It was at that moment that I truly understood my own heart.
I thought the person I loved was Ao Xiaoying, but in the end it was An Changting who moved me...even though this realization came a little late.
