2495 Can You Lie to Me My Whole Life?
He knew that he was wrong, and he admitted to it. However, he said he didn’t regret it.
The surroundings were quiet as the light breeze blew.
Chu Liuyue suddenly felt that the light surrounding her was too bright, causing her eyes to hurt.
At this moment, she suddenly felt scared and did not dare to listen further.
She had no clue of how much he had done for her, but he was her husband, the person she agreed to spend the rest of her life with. Why would she not know anything and even… not notice anything?
“Rong Xiu, your holy meridian is broken, and you committed many sins. Today… you must be punished!” The ancient and distant voice echoed between heaven and the earth.
The gigantic star formation slowly moved.
A light curtain dropped from the skies and trapped Rong Xiu!
He looked up slightly, and there was no fear or regret in his eyes. “I will suffer all the consequences.”
Once he said this, a ray of light flew out from the star formation and formed a sharp arrow that quickly went toward Rong Xiu!
Swoosh!
That sharp arrow pierced through his left kneecap!
At that moment, the sharp arrow burned, and sparks flew everywhere! His bones were crushed!
Roar!
Xue Xue leaped up and jumped over.
But before it could get close to the light curtain, it was stopped by the extremely strong suppression and flipped onto the floor.
It crawled back up, and it was hit again. Then, its figure was flung out.
Bloodstains appeared on the ground.
Rong Xiu looked at it. “Xue Xue, go back.”
Xue Xue refused as it rushed forward while whimpering. Bloody wounds quickly appeared on Xue Xue.
Swoosh!
The second sharp arrow came! This time, it was his right knee!
His knees were cut!
The Heavenly Dao descended, and its suppression pressed around him.
Plop!
The low sound caused the tall and burly figure to kneel onto the ground.
Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to have been harshly shaken, and she trembled.
“Since you admit your mistake, kneel before all the people in the world! Return your holy force!” Once the Heavenly Dao said this, the third sharp arrow pierced through Rong Xiu’s chest!
His body shook, and he finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Rong Xiu!” Chu Liuyue rapidly ran toward him.
Upon hearing this, Xue Xue ran over and whimpered miserably around her feet.
The closer she was, the heavier the suppression from the Heavenly Dao. Every step she took exhausted even more force and energy than the previous.
Her speed slowly reduced. Finally, she stopped outside the light curtain and could no longer approach it.
She was just a few steps away from him, but she seemed so far away and unreachable.
Chu Liuyue’s heart burned. From the moment she saw Rong Xiu kneel down, the last string in her mind broke.
He was so distinguished and prideful. How could he kneel down?
How many people were watching this scene in the world?!
She pressed against the light curtain, her palms burning excruciatingly. However, all of this could not compare to the hurt in her heart.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single syllable.
Her chest hurt, and even breathing became painful. The pain extended from her heart to her body, through every inch and every part.
She could not struggle free.
Rong Xiu supported himself on the ground with one hand. He coughed and slowly straightened his body.
Even though he was kneeling down, his posture was straight, as if he would never bend down.
He raised his hand and wiped away the fresh blood from his mouth before looking over. “Yue’er.”
He laughed lightly. “It’s just kneeling. It’s no big deal.”
Back then, at Country Yao Chen, he had once kneeled to legitimately marry her.
Chu Liuyue’s eyes welled up, and the tears finally landed.
Rong Xiu furrowed his sharp brows slightly and helplessly smiled. “Yue’er, don’t cry. I can’t help you wipe your tears.”
Once he said that, another sharp arrow pierced through his left shoulder!
A few drops of blood landed on the light curtain. They were rapidly burned by the terrifying force contained within.
However, Chu Liuyue almost felt like the blood had landed on her face and body—it was hot, and it hurt.
She widened her eyes and stared at him, her tears falling even more intensely.
Rong Xiu’s gaze was gentle. Suddenly, he thought of something and lightly asked, “Yue’er, are you angry at me for lying to you?”
He paused and wiped away the blood from his mouth again. Then, he continued, “You should be angry.”
His gaze became deeper as if he were recalling. However, the depths of his eyes still clearly reflected her figure.
After a moment, he gently said, “You woke up in the forest in Country Yao Chen. I lied to you and said that you trespassed someone else’s territory.”
“In Tianling, when you unwittingly said that you wanted to overtake me on the Qing Yun Ranking, I lied to you and said that I had never heard of that place before.”
“At Peach Blossom Dock, you asked me if I recognized the Celestial Shield. I lied to you and said I didn’t.”
“Prince Li, His Grace… These identities were all lies. Even my identity as Master… I’ve hidden it from you for so many years and only told you a few days ago.” Rong Xiu spoke carefully, recounting the past in detail.
Actually, how could he be so exact? He had lied to her from the very start.
After he told a lie, he had to use countless lies to cover it up.
More and more rays of light formed into sharp arrows that pierced through his body and burned. They left many bloody wounds.
He was decked in a black robe, so the bloodstains were not obvious. But after the blood accumulated, it drenched his clothes bit by bit.
His face became pale, and his aura became increasingly weaker.
The holy force accumulated over thousands of years was removed bit by bit. Such torture was akin to scraping his skin and cutting his flesh!
He exhaled lightly, and the intense bloody scent permeated the area. “But… At that time, I didn’t lie to you when I said I’m Rong Xiu. I didn’t lie to you when I said that I want to marry you no matter what. I didn’t lie when I said that I missed and waited for you for a very long time. I didn’t lie to you when I said I was the luckiest person to have married you.”
Swoosh!
A sharp arrow suddenly pierced the back of his head!
The large impact caused his body to tremble, but he forcefully supported himself with a hand.
The ground before him became sticky with blood.
Veins could faintly be seen on the back of his hand.
Chu Liuyue slowly fell to the floor.
With a light barrier between them, she looked at him from afar.
He took a deep breath in and instinctively wiped away the blood from his mouth. However, he shockingly discovered that the back of his hands had cracked into many wounds, and blood spurted out.
The 10,000 swords had taken away his holy force accumulated in the past 100,000 years.
His remaining bit of holy force silently disappeared with these wounds.
He glanced at it in a daze and put his hand down. Forget it.
He looked up at her deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance. “I know that my Yue’er hates other people lying to her. However, Yue’er, don’t get angry this time, okay?”
Chu Liuyue bit her lips tightly, as a bloody taste filled her mouth.
She looked at him. Suddenly, she smiled, and hot tears kept falling. “Yeah, I hate people lying to me the most. But Rong Xiu, if the person that lied to me is you, then it’s fine.”
“What did you lie to me about?”
“My person, my heart—they’re all yours. What else do you want?”
“You tricked me into believing you, tricked me into loving you, tricked me into being jealous because of you, tricked me into being unable to sleep because of you, tricked me into experiencing life and death with you, and tricked me into dying with you? If that’s the case, then can you lie to me for the rest of my life?”
