Was it you that night?
Chapter 232 - 230: How could he fall for such a heartless and silly thing?

Chapter 232: Chapter 230: How could he fall for such a heartless and silly thing?

"So the time when Shen Zhiyao was wounded by the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword, yet had no wounds, was it because you dragged her into a time-space rift and saved her life?" Dongfang Wuya had a sudden realization.

"It’s ridiculous that I saved Zhiyao, yet did not dare to tell Qinghe the truth, to lessen her loathing for me," Yan Changsheng said with a bitter smile.

At the time, Shen Zhiyao was nearly out of breath, so he risked everything by pulling her into some time-space rift. Miraculously, Shen Zhiyao’s wounds vanished in that instant, and although she was gravely injured, a single breath hung on, anchoring her life.

It was because she still clung to that single breath that Dongfang Wuya had the chance to revive Shen Zhiyao.

"You’re mistaken. Even if you had revived Shen Zhiyao, you couldn’t have lessened Qinghe’s hatred of you. You hurt not only her most respected father but also stained the honor of Shen’s family, and even more, you inflicted Qinghe with a Heart Demon. I still remember the Qiqiao Festival that year, how she hung on to her last breath, refusing to die so that I would save Shen Zhuo. That day, that year, was supposed to be her death anniversary. Had I not fed her the Immortal Pill, Shen Qinghe would have long ceased to exist in this world. Yan Changsheng, don’t you understand? From the very moment you brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect, your fate with Shen Qinghe was already sealed to be an end of all ties and gratitude," said Dongfang Wuya.

Before Dongfang Wuya came to see Yan Changsheng, he thought that only by crushing Changsheng’s bones to ashes could he relieve the resentment in his heart.

But now, he thought that letting Yan Changsheng live in agony might not be such a bad idea.

Yan Changsheng was already a spent force, and being subjected to such a strong stimulus at this moment, he immediately bled from seven orifices and collapsed to the ground, limp.

Dongfang Wuya knew this was the premonition of Yan Changsheng going mad and becoming obsessed; he withdrew his oppressive aura, and glancing one more time at Yan Changsheng collapsed in a pool of blood, he found it tedious.

Yan Changsheng no longer had the will to live; such a man was pitiful yet detestable, all his own retribution.

After leaving Shaonian Tower, Dongfang Wuya unintentionally found himself outside the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Thinking of the woman inside the courtyard, he felt infuriated.

She must have known that Yan Changsheng was the culprit who caused him to fall into the time-space rift, yet she did not mention a word, fearing that she might still harbour feelings for Yan Changsheng?

Her sudden unwillingness to marry him, could it be because she can’t let go of Yan Changsheng?

Why did he fall for such a heartless creature?

Although Shen Qinghe no longer needed to borrow the protagonist’s spiritual energy for cultivation, she still sensed the pure spiritual energy from Dongfang Wuya as he approached the Simple Residence Courtyard and knew the visitor was Dongfang Wuya.

She was thinking about how she should phrase her words when Dongfang Wuya arrived, but after waiting for a while, the spiritual energy of the person outside the courtyard suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She walked out of the Simple Residence Courtyard in confusion, only to confirm that Dongfang Wuya had vanished.

She was uncertain if her decision was right, but focusing her energy on cultivation couldn’t be wrong.

Gong Xian merely lightly tapped Nan Sheng’s forehead, elevating her cultivation base by a great level, which set off alarm bells for her.

Her cultivation base was still too weak. If one day Shangxuan Yue used her to threaten Dongfang Wuya, she would only become a burden to him.

The only thing she could do was to improve her own cultivation base.

Nan Sheng returned to her sight as a princess of the Demon Clan, and Gong Xian fell in love with Nan Sheng at first sight; he helped elevate her cultivation base, which made her even more convinced of the strength of Nan Sheng’s, the Fated Female Protagonist’s, destiny.

No sooner had she thought of Nan Sheng than she sensed Nan Sheng’s spiritual energy, and soon Nan Sheng’s figure entered her field of vision.

"Shen Qinghe, have you been abandoned by Mr. Wuya?" Nan Sheng asked, hardly concealing her excitement.

This proved her intuition was correct, Dongfang Wuya abandoned Shen Qinghe on their wedding day because he regretted it, didn’t want to marry Shen Qinghe, and this also meant she was the one who had the last laugh, the Fated Female Protagonist.

How could Nan Sheng miss this opportunity to humiliate Shen Qinghe? She followed into the Simple Residence Courtyard, "I told you, the person Mr. Wuya will marry in the end is me. Do you believe what I said now?"

Shen Qinghe turned to glance at Nan Sheng, "You’re overthinking it, Mr. Wuya won’t marry you!"

Nan Sheng was unconvinced, "Just wait and see! I am Heaven’s Chosen Maiden, there’s nothing I want that I can’t get..."

Shen Qinghe suddenly laughed upon hearing this, "Is that so?"

Where did this woman get her confidence from? Even Yan Changsheng, who loved Nan Sheng so much, had been moved to love another. How could Nan Sheng still think she was the Heaven’s Chosen Maiden?

Perhaps Nan Sheng’s fate was still very strong, but Shen Qinghe felt that her efforts had changed many things.

"What are you laughing at?!" Nan Sheng glared at Shen Qinghe, on guard.

Shen Qinghe suddenly asked, "How did you become the lost daughter of the Demon Queen? Could it be that Nan Lan didn’t die and she became the Demon Queen?"

Nan Sheng never expected Shen Qinghe to guess correctly, and her expression cracked.

From Nan Sheng’s expression, Shen Qinghe figured out the truth, "So it turns out to be like this."

One had to say, there was a reason Nan Sheng became the original story’s Fated Female Protagonist. Their entire family were mere mortals, one became an Emotion Demon, the other a mortal that ascended to be Demon Queen. Whatever miraculous encounters Nan Sheng had after that, Shen Qinghe wouldn’t be surprised.

However, some things suddenly connected for her. Perhaps after Nan Sheng gained fame, Nan Lan knew her daughter was still alive and had been helping Nan Sheng from the shadows.

The sudden appearance of the Level Ten Dragon could very well have been Nan Lan’s doing.

And during the big competition, Elder Qiu, who had no grievances with her, suddenly wanted to kill her with the Immortal Slaying Formation. Could it have been Nan Lan’s instigation from behind the scenes?

Since Nan Lan had the ability to become the Demon Queen, she must be ambitious. Who knows, Nan Lan might have even grander goals, like reigning over the Three Realms, and having a daughter like Nan Sheng, the Girl of Destiny...

"Now you should realize you are nothing, right?" Nan Sheng simply stopped pretending.

Actually, she herself didn’t expect that, soon after being expelled from the Sky Pole Sect, she was grandly welcomed back to the Demon Realm by the Bound Clan. The moment she saw Nan Lan, she was so shocked that she thought she was hallucinating.

She also didn’t know how her mother had managed it, but her beauty had surpassed that of her past, stunningly peerless, and she had even become the Demon Queen.

Nan Lan also told her she would have her back from then on and even said that she should strive for anything she wanted. As the daughter of the Demon Queen, it wasn’t excessive for her to match the world’s best men.

"Just because you’re the daughter of the Demon Queen doesn’t mean you’re capable. You’ve got it backwards with such thoughts," Shen Qinghe drew her sword without further words.

Nan Sheng didn’t expect Shen Qinghe to turn on her suddenly, and when she wanted to draw her sword, it was already too late. By the time she reacted, her hair had been mostly sliced off by Shen Qinghe’s Sword Qi, leaving her disheveled, and she was even thrown out of the Simple Residence Courtyard by Shen Qinghe.

The sudden disappearance and return of Dongfang Wuya caused a huge sensation in the Sky Pole Sect.

Everyone wanted to know the reason, but they didn’t dare to provoke Dongfang Wuya, so they sent Shu Xiu to the Simple Residence Courtyard to gather information.
