Shen Shiyun sneered, "You want me to persuade her? That would only work if she's willing to listen! It's not that I didn't try to persuade Luo Jin back then, but she was determined. I don't have that kind of patience when it comes to Xiao Xuan. Besides, it's just a platitude. What's the point? Is she really going to listen to you? "
Tang Yuancheng smiled bitterly, "How could it be that easy? Xiao Xuan seemed to understand at first, but when she woke up the next day, she started crying again. She only said that she loved him for a long time, but she never expressed it directly. I really don't want this relationship to end in vain. I have to experience it for myself to know how it will end … "
Cheng Jiaxuan hurriedly nodded, "That's right! I've heard of many couples who were already in love with each other, but because neither of them had the courage to speak first, or because they wanted to wait for the other to express their feelings, they missed each other. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. I have to fight for my own feelings through my own efforts. As long as I tell him myself, I'll see how he responds. Maybe … he'll be moved by my true feelings, and from then on, it'll be a beautiful story. Isn't that very possible? "
Li Yijie and the others all thought, "You've already taken the initiative. Even a blind person can see that he hates you." But because Cheng Jiaxuan spoke so pitifully, they couldn't bear to hurt her self-esteem, so they held back.
Shen Shiyun didn't have any misgivings. He sneered, "Oh? Tang Shaoshi, you're quite bold, aren't you? If you let Xiao Xuan see him, who knows how many unpleasant words he'll say to humiliate her. With Xiao Xuan's temperament, do you think she'll be able to withstand that kind of blow? It's better not to pursue the answer at all. At least she can keep the illusion in her heart. When she recalls it in the future, she'll have room to deceive herself. She won't have to feel the pain anymore. "
Tang Yuancheng said, "No, she doesn't want to deceive herself. She wants a down-to-earth relationship. She won't give up until she sees him one last time. Xiao Xuan just wants to be responsible for her own love, and she hopes to do everything she can to save it. In this aspect, many of us can't compare to her, so what right do we have to criticize her? To tell the truth, though I don't agree with her infatuation, I admire her spirit of sacrifice. There was no smooth path to love. It was only when people pursued it relentlessly and experienced it that they could look back on it in the future that they would be able to love and not hate. Setbacks are often a kind of experience. Only after experiencing the destruction of wind, frost, and rain can she grow. "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Is that so? Even if she was a flower, he hoped that she wouldn't wilt before she matured. Forget it, Xiao Xuan, go ahead and find him. As long as you don't cry in front of him and give him a chance to ridicule you, anything is fine. Even a defeated general has to lose with dignity. He doesn't care about you, so you have to let him know that you've never cared about him either. Don't be so thick-skinned and pester him while crying. That would be the last bit of dignity you have left. "
Cheng Jiaxuan forced a smile and said, "Niangniang, Tang Shaoshi, thank you very much. But don't be in a hurry to play mournful music for me. Don't stories often say that at the final juncture, faith will give birth to miracles? Who knows, maybe he'll really accept me? When that time comes, you have to give me a few more blessings. "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Good, good. As long as he agrees to accept you, I'll be the first to attend your wedding banquet." This sentence was clearly sarcastic, but Cheng Jiaxuan didn't realize it at all. She only cared that there was someone on her side, so she regarded the other party as a great good person. She beamed with joy and said, "Then I'll have to thank Niangniang!"
Shen Shiyun's expression suddenly darkened, "I don't care who you've taken a fancy to, nor do I care what actions you want to take. I just want to ask you, did you see any suspicious people sneaking around the Snow Song Palace on the way here?"
Cheng Jiaxuan shook her head and said, "Tang Shaoshi and I … also just arrived. We didn't see anyone." Tang Yuancheng's eyes turned and saw that the inner room was full of seats. Teacups were placed on the table in a disorderly manner. The aroma of tea was curling up in spirals, and the steam had yet to dissipate. She turned her head and said, "Noble Consort Yun, you were discussing some shameful secrets in the room just now. Someone was eavesdropping outside, so you're anxious to find that person and kill him, right?"
Li Yijie was startled. She didn't expect Tang Yuancheng's attitude towards Shen Shiyun to be so harsh. She hurriedly said, "You can't say that …" Tang Yuancheng raised her hand and made a "stop talking" gesture, saying, "Don't worry about it. Noble Consort Yun, I'm only asking you, yes or no. "
Shen Shiyun raised her head and said coldly, "At least I'm still the master. No matter what I've done, you don't have the qualifications to question me!" Tang Yuancheng turned around and walked into the inner room. She sat down on a chair and waved her hand, saying, "Xiao Xuan, you go find him yourself. I want to talk to Noble Consort Yun about how the relationship between master and servant works. "

Shangguan Yaohua chose this place. Because her social circle was narrow, after much thought, she could only find the Prince Fu's residence. After entering the residence, she looked all around but didn't see any trace of Ping Ruoyu. She secretly sighed in relief. She thought that logically speaking, she left earlier than she did and should have returned to the residence by now. But now she was nowhere to be found. She couldn't help but worry about her. Her heart was in turmoil. She turned her head and said unhappily, "Hey, what do you want to ask me? Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly! "
Jiang Liechen smiled faintly and said, "You hate to see me, don't you? Back at the Snow Song Palace, I already felt your hostility. "Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said," Do you still need to say it? Since you already know, you still dare to pester me endlessly. I think you're the first person in the world who doesn't know what's good for you. "
Jiang Liechen didn't get angry. He suddenly lowered his voice and said with an even more devilish charm, "If Little Prince's memory is good enough, you probably won't forget the scene on Mount Hua's Chaoyang Terrace a few days ago. It's still fresh in my memory. "
Shangguan Yaohua rolled her eyes. She thought that since he said this, he must be here to settle the score of that day. Whether it was a blessing or a disaster, it couldn't be avoided. She had known him for a long time and knew that she couldn't lose her confidence in front of him. The fiercer his aura was, the more ruthless she had to be in order to get him to treat her seriously.
Ever since she unintentionally discovered this move, it could be said that she had already mastered it to the point of perfection. She snorted coldly and said, "Don't beat around the bush. That's right, I'm using you! I'll let others see that I even dare to hit you. There's nothing I don't dare to do. I'll also let them know that it's best not to provoke me. "
Jiang Liechen smiled faintly and said, "So that's how it is. I already knew that you wouldn't do things so rashly. You only did it in a moment of anger …" At this moment, her mouth was only a few inches away from his ear. She said, "But that slap on the face that day, it really … hurt a lot. You should know that ever since I officially became the ruler of Jianghu as the Seven Evil Spirits, I haven't suffered any injuries, let alone someone who dared to hit me in public. Why don't you tell me how you're going to compensate me? "
Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "How would I know? What's the point of bringing up such a small matter? "
This reaction was within Jiang Liechen's expectations, but it made him even more interested. He said, "You're right. A slap is nothing. Back then, you even stabbed me with a knife. Wasn't that just a casual thing? " A year ago, Shangguan Yaohua had single-handedly rescued Nangong Xue. Seeing that Jiang Liechen had been beating around the bush and was unwilling to let her go, Shangguan Yaohua became furious and stabbed Jiang Liechen with a knife. Thinking about this matter, it was indeed his most glorious moment. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "Things have changed with the passage of time. What's the point of bringing it up?"
Jiang Liechen said, "You really don't have any regrets … But that's fine. I actually admire your temperament. Ha, you're very good. Since that's the case, I'll invite you to watch a great show. It'll be the most memorable moment. It'll definitely be a milestone in the evolution of human history. "
Shangguan Yaohua impatiently said, "You can use these big words to fool your subordinates, but don't show off in front of me. I've long since grown tired of listening to it." Jiang Liechen replied, "Fine. I'll just ask you one question. Do you still remember my strongest and only wish all this time?" Shangguan Yaohua said, "Of course I know about your absurd delusions. Why are you still being so long-winded?"
Jiang Liechen's expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He walked around the room a few times and slammed his palm on the table. He said, "That's why I said that from that day onwards, everything will be different. Finally, it's no longer just a delusion. "Shangguan Yaohua still felt that Jiang Liechen was full of nonsense when he heard this. However, this matter was not trivial. Although he didn't take the initiative to ask, he patiently waited for Jiang Liechen to elaborate.
Jiang Liechen was obsessed with this matter. Without waiting for Jiang Liechen to ask, he continued, "Have you heard of a legend from ancient times? At the border between the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm, there was a volcano. One year, the magma suddenly erupted, causing the world to be plunged into misery and suffering. During this period, a divine general couldn't take the blow because the female immortal he loved had someone else in her heart. He committed suicide at the mouth of the volcano. However, because of his intense hatred towards the two gods and his bitter obsession with the female immortal, he was able to survive in the end. Not only that, he was reborn and transformed into a demon. He obtained an unparalleled power … "
Shangguan Yaohua frowned and said, "So what? Don't tell me that you also want to follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and jump into the mouth of the magma? At that time, even before you become a demon, you would have been burned to ashes long ago. "
Jiang Liechen acted as if he didn't hear anything. He said, "Ever since I heard that story, I had a feeling in my heart. It was as if the unsolvable mystery was finally solved. I finally found a path that could fulfill my wish. This year, I traveled the world and slaughtered cities. It was just a routine to establish my power. My real goal was only one. Finally, I didn't let down my painstaking search. The legendary Mauna Loa Volcano. Even if I have to cross the ocean, I must find out the truth. "
Mauna Loa Volcano was a shield-shaped volcano on an island in the far east of the Central Plains. The mouth of the volcano at the top of the mountain was called "Mokavio Microo", which meant "Burning Island". The magma would erupt from time to time. Wherever it flowed, forests would be burned and houses would collapse. It was indeed an extremely dangerous place. Shangguan Yaohua had only heard a little about it. He said, "Are you looking for death? Even if the legend is true, he is a god and you are just a mortal. How are you going to resist the burning flames? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Don't treat me like a mortal! My strength has long surpassed those ordinary people. However, there is only a small gap between me and a demon. As long as I can get rid of this obstacle, what can I not do if a god can do it? But according to my guess, it must be related to the divine power of the Seven Fiends Treasure. Otherwise, why would it be called the treasure closest to the realm of the gods? Just one of them alone has endless power. Now that the seven of them are gathered, it is not impossible to break the restriction and surpass the limit to obtain the power that everyone is envious of! If I want to transform into a demon, I must abandon my attachment to the secular world. I must have the awareness to abandon everything. At the same time, my will must be firm enough to fulfill my wish. If I take the first step and ingest the most poisonous medicine in the world, it will burn my internal organs, limbs, and bones. It can also be considered as abandoning my physical body. At that time, I can reconstruct my fighting soul in the magma and be reborn. Becoming a demon is not a child's trick. I only have a fifty percent chance of fulfilling my wish. But if I don't have the courage to gamble with my fate, I don't need to proclaim that I am going against the heavens. Hmm? You will support me, right? "
