Chapter 1036: Moonlight

The name of this piece is Moonlight; it is her favorite piece of music. She once fantasized about playing this piece for the person she loved most. It is a pity that more than ten years have passed in a flash. The piece has long since been memorized by heart, but where is the person she loves now?

As the song ended, Tang Xue slowly stood up. She looked toward the doorway, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Chen Yu's figure was seen slowly approaching from the doorway. He tossed Mr. Xu, whom he had been carrying in his hand, to the side with a thud.

"You've come?" Tang Xue smiled slightly.

"You knew I would come and were waiting here specifically for me, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I just wanted to see you, no other meaning. Although I became like this because of you, there are still many times when I really want to see you," Tang Xue smiled lightly.

"So you let this trash provoke me, and then let him lead me to find you?" Chen Yu pointed at Mr. Xu, who was covered in blood on the side.

"Yes," Tang Xue nodded. "If I didn't use this method to provoke you, you wouldn't see me."

"Why must it be like this?" Chen Yu stared at Tang Xue. "Before, I still had a trace of guilt toward you, but now, I feel it is superfluous. Tang Xue, if you don't turn back now, I won't be polite."

"Why do you always like to urge me to turn back?" Tang Xue stared at Chen Yu, her expression smiling, and she said somewhat neurotically, "I think I am very good now. I can do whatever I want and do the things I want to do."

"And now the God Lord has bestowed many things upon me: power, influence, everything I could want. So I think I am living very well now; I don't need your pity."

"Miss Tang, save, save me." Mr. Xu lifted his head with difficulty. Because of excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and his body was already starting to grow cold. If this continued, he would die.

"Useless thing." Tang Xue glared at him. She was chatting with the person she loved; this guy here was really ruining the scenery.

"I am loyal to the God Lord, save me." Mr. Xu was practically begging. He had a territory abroad where he was like a local emperor, but now he was begging others like a dead dog. The disparity was truly too great.

"By the God Lord's side, there is never a shortage of dogs. You are just a piece of trash; once used up, you have no value," Tang Xue said with a chuckle.

"I... I have already donated my family fortune just to purchase a spot in the Eternal Kingdom. Tang Xue, you cannot treat me like this." Mr. Xu looked at Tang Xue in terror, seeing a hint of anger in her eyes.

"You really think your pathetic family fortune can purchase a spot in the Eternal Kingdom? Heh, do you know? The reclusive tycoons in the world who possess wealth that rivals nations are all fighting for this spot. You? You truly don't know how pathetic you are."

"Tang Xue, you lied to me, you dared to lie to me..." Mr. Xu felt as if he had been deceived. He had played with hawks his whole life, but now his eyes had been pecked by a hawk. How could he not be angry?

He suddenly lunged up, using all his strength to rush toward Tang Xue, looking as if he were going to fight Tang Xue to the death.

Tang Xue extended her right hand, and a whip appeared in it. She flicked her right wrist, and the whip suddenly straightened, stabbing fiercely into Mr. Xu's heart.

With a *pfft* sound, Mr. Xu was pierced through. His eyes widened, looking at Tang Xue in disbelief, and then he knelt to the ground with a thud, losing his breath.

Tang Xue retracted the whip. This whip was made of a special alloy and was a very formidable weapon. Moreover, judging by her appearance, she used the whip very skillfully; it seemed she did not use it sparingly. Although her hands were fair, they were covered in blood.

Chen Yu looked at Tang Xue and vaguely felt a sense of heartache, because Tang Xue's changes were too great; she was not like this before.

"Does it feel like your heart aches?" Tang Xue stared at Chen Yu and said with a chuckle, "Do you not think I shouldn't be like this? The old me was gentle and kind; even the sound of my voice was soft and gentle. But now, I kill a person as if I am killing an ant. Does it feel unacceptable?"

"Yes, you have changed too much from before." Chen Yu shook his head. He looked at Tang Xue and said, "So you intend not to come back?"

"I have no way to come back either; I no longer have any family," Tang Xue shook her head. "Chen Yu, the God Lord wants me to bring you back."

"What if I don't go back?" Chen Yu looked up at Tang Xue.

"Then he told me to kill you, because you are already out of control," Tang Xue smiled. "Don't force me to take action."

"Don't force me to take action—that is a line I should be saying to you," Chen Yu said. "I am going to take you back."

"Why? Just because I killed someone?" Tang Xue laughed. "Chen Yu, do you think Mr. Xu was a good person?"

"He was not," Chen Yu shook his head.

"Then is there a problem with me killing him? This kind of person is discarded after use; there is no psychological pressure. Even if I didn't kill him, you would have killed him when you took action later, wouldn't you?" Tang Xue smiled. "Why can only you take action, and I cannot?"

"You..." Chen Yu was left speechless by her words.

"Are you unable to bear seeing my hands covered in blood?" Tang Xue smiled. "Aren't your own hands covered in blood as well?"

"I am different from you," Chen Yu gave a bitter smile. "Return to Shengjing."

"Return to Shengjing for what? To throw me to Dragon Breath? To let them lock me up?" Tang Xue sneered. "Or are you saying you have already figured out how to settle me?"

Chen Yu was stunned. He truly had not seriously thought about this question.

"After I return to Shengjing, can I still return to my former life? No, because here, I already have one more person," Tang Xue pointed to her own chest. She said coldly, "This place has filled my heart completely, and it can no longer hold anyone else. Do you think I can still return to the past?"

Chen Yu stared blankly at Tang Xue, then said with some remorse, "I'm sorry. The mistake is that I shouldn't have appeared in your life. You return to Shengjing first; I will find a way to settle you."

"The only way to settle me is to let me be your woman. Can you do that?" Tang Xue leaned close to Chen Yu and sneered. "If you can't do it, don't promise me anything. I don't believe it—not a single word."

"I can't do that, but I can let you return to how you were before," Chen Yu said coldly. "Tang Xue, this farce should come to an end. The reason you became like this is entirely because of me, so I must take responsibility for it."

"Responsibility? How will you take responsibility?" Tang Xue looked at Chen Yu neurotically. After a long while, she burst into a bitter laugh. "Can you take responsibility?"

Chen Yu suddenly grabbed at the empty air with his right hand, and a flicker of Original Power appeared in his palm. He said indifferently, "Since you cannot turn back, then I will erase all your memories and let you start from zero."
