Chapter 38: Don't You Know That Love Fades When Beauty Fades?

Yuan Niang didn't understand: "Husband, we are about to leave the city gate, why turn to the East City?"

"The great cause is not yet accomplished, how can I let go?" A Heng no longer hid his ambition, "I planned for so long, and it was not easy to infect so many people. How could I just leave?"

Yuan Niang's face changed greatly: "You, you didn't do it for me..."

"For you?" A Heng laughed, "Wife, you have lived for so long, why are you still so naive? Don't you know that human hearts will change?"

"That's right! At first, I really liked you. A beautiful young girl who is beautiful and has a good personality, asking me every day what wish I want to realize. Any man would be moved by you."

"Wife, I really loved you so much at that time, my heart and eyes were full of you. That's why I asked you to be my wife and marry me."

"The time after marriage was naturally happy, after all, I married such a beautiful wife, and she wouldn't grow old. For a long time, I was even worried that you would leave."

"But you are really a good woman, not only did you not dislike my increasingly aging body, but you even extended my life when I was about to die."

"I was grateful to you, but later, I felt more and more that you were too stupid."

"You clearly possess such powerful power, but you have to be content with me in a small wine shop. Brewing wine and selling wine every day, are you really not tired of it?"

Yuan Niang begged him with tears: "Leave! I beg you, leave with me! You don't want to sell wine, we can do other business. Or... raise cattle and herd horses? Plain and simple is also representative of peace!"

"But I don't want to live a plain life anymore! Can't you see the wealth of the capital? Those powerful classes can call the wind and rain with one word, mastering the power of the world!"

"What's the use of just having a long lifespan? I also want to master the power of the world and become a person above others!"

"What about me?" She asked with a trembling voice.

A Heng stroked Yuan Niang's cheek, as gentle as usual, but the tone of his voice was completely strange: "Yuan Niang, don't you know that love fades when beauty fades?"

"I've been disgusted by your old face for a long time! Do you know what kind of torment it was for me to endure the disgust and share the same bed with you every day?"

"Why do I always leave home to deliver wine, and go for half a day? That's because it's too disgusting to stay by your side, so I have to find an excuse to escape you!"

Yuan Niang's tears had stopped flowing, just looking at the man in front of her blankly.

This man she had loved for decades made her feel strange and terrifying for the first time.

It's really ironic, it turns out that all the affection and entanglement were her own wishful thinking!

It turns out that he had long been tired of it!

The carriage finally stopped.

The man who was gentle in the past rudely dragged her off the carriage at this moment.

He pointed to the luxurious manor and said: "Look, this manor is very big and luxurious, right? How many people can't afford such a good residence in their whole life."

"But I just planted Mayfly Silk into the body of the richest man in the capital, and he became my puppet. Gold, silver, manors, fields, all were given to me!"

"Since money is so easy to come by, why should I be a small clerk delivering and selling wine in a small tavern?"

"Let's go, wife, I'll take you to see my industry, it's even more luxurious inside than outside."

"Dongfang Yan, you come in too." He shouted at Dongfang Yan without looking back, as if he were calling a dog.

Dongfang Yan followed behind obediently, just like a loyal dog.

The gate opened, and dozens of servants stood on both sides, kneeling and saluting respectfully.

The beauty he kept here also greeted him, throwing herself into his arms like a flower butterfly, and called out delicately: "Young master."

Seeing Yuan Niang, she was a little surprised: "Oh, isn't this your wife who is old enough to be your mother? She is even older than when I saw her before, now she is old enough to be your grandmother!"

A Heng pushed the woman away impatiently: "Get out!"

The woman curled her lips, but still rolled away obediently.

Yuan Niang asked with a trembling voice: "Is this the concubine you keep outside?"

A Heng said indifferently: "It can't be counted as a concubine, just a toy I bought with money. For men, the most important thing is power and wealth. After having power and wealth, there is naturally no shortage of three palaces and six courtyards."

"After I infect everyone in the capital and turn them into my puppets, I will be the Emperor of Da Qi!"

"A Heng..." Even at this time, Yuan Niang still tried to persuade him to turn back, "Let go. I beg you, let go! As long as you are willing to let go, come with me and leave the capital. I can forgive everything in the past."

"I need your forgiveness?" A Heng felt it was very funny, "Soon, I will possess the whole world. Do you think I will still care about you, an old woman?"

"A Heng, things are not as simple as you think..." She tried to pull his hand, but A Heng pushed her away ruthlessly.

"I said I'm disgusted by you, don't touch me again! I plan to leave this manor to you, out of past feelings, I will let you die decently here!"

"Let me die? You want me to die?" Yuan Niang looked at him with tears.

No matter how big a mistake he made, she still had a fluke mentality that he had some feelings for her.

Only now did she know that a man who has changed his heart is truly ruthless!

"After all, you are a demon and know too many of my secrets, if you don't die, how can I be at ease? Dongfang Yan!"

Dongfang Yan stood out: "Master."

"Kill this old woman!"

"Yes."

Dongfang Yan drew his sword, the cold sword light fell suddenly, but the bloody scene expected did not appear.

Yuan Niang... disappeared.

"What's going on?" A Heng also realized that the situation was wrong, "That old woman can barely walk, how could she..."

"A Heng." Yuan Niang's voice sounded faintly behind him.

He turned his head suddenly, and found that the tears and love in Yuan Niang's eyes had all disappeared, and when she looked at him, there was only infinite regret.

"I begged you so many times, why didn't you listen to advice?"

Pale hair scattered, and slowly floated up. Although she was still in the appearance of an old woman, her whole body was condensed with a powerful demon power.

A Heng was taken aback: "Didn't you give me the demon pill? How could..."

At the same time, he wanted to mobilize the power of the demon pill. But the power that was surging before had no movement at all at this moment.

"You lied to me? Yuan Niang, you actually lied to me?"

"If I didn't lie to you, how could I see your true face?"

Yuan Niang sighed: "Actually, I have been here before, Princess Jin brought me here. I also saw you and that woman being intimate. But even then, I couldn't bear to see you die. So I kept telling you, as long as you are willing to let go, I can forgive everything you did."

"Unfortunately... you didn't listen!" ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
