Once upon a time, there were three children who ate, drank, and fooled around together. It was a period of pure innocence, one that left a rich aftertaste whenever one recalled it.

Among them was a boy, a playful and naughty boy with a carefree temperament. At times, he enjoyed hiding in the library reading all sorts of books, looking incomparably refined. Another one of them was a boy as well. He was akin to being the first boy's little attendant, constantly issuing commands on behalf of the first boy. He was his trusted aide. He would always work hard on cultivation during his free time and rarely neglected anything related to cultivation. The third child was a girl. She was smart and had grown up alongside them. The first boy, a self-proclaimed boy king, had also proclaimed her his queen.

Time pa.s.sed, and the three children grew up. The boy king still spent all his time fooling around, and he was as weak as a scholar. The second boy had become an outstanding cultivator who would always remain by the boy king's side, helping him resolve all his troubles. As for the girl, she transformed into a woman, and her thoughts were no longer as simple as before. She came to a realization that although the boy king had an extraordinary status, he had a bleak future. On the contrary, the second boy was so outstanding he seemed perfect, causing her to have a change of heart.

One day, a ma.s.sive change occurred. The boy king became a prince of misfortune, being chased in humiliation. As for the boy and the girl who were the closest ones to the boy king, they betrayed him, becoming the enemies he detested most. Now adults, the three met again. Things did not devolve into violence the moment they met, and they had instead clashed through words.

After taking a deep breath, Xiang Shaoyun calmed down completely. In the past, he deeply hated them. But now, his hatred for them had lessened considerably. It was not that he had forgiven them. Rather, after spending all this time tempering himself, he was no longer in the same mental state. When he met them once again, his thoughts of them also changed as a result.

He hated them less because he now knew he was also one of the culprits for his misfortune. If he had not wasted all his time fooling around back then and had instead focused on cultivation, things would be completely different now. As for the girl, she would have stayed by his side until the end of her life.

Alas, he had been too useless. He was arrogant and conceited, resulting in him losing everything his father had built. He hated himself, he lamented what the boy had done, and he pitied the girl.

”Yes, it has been a while. So you two have indeed gotten together. Congratulations!” said Xiang Shaoyun, an indifferent smile on his face. His smile was akin to the brightest sun, causing the halo around the remarkable youth before him to dim. As for the young woman before him, her heartbeat accelerated.

Di Lin had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would show such an att.i.tude when facing them. He had a.s.sumed that Xiang Shaoyun would fly into a rage out of humiliation. Inwardly, he thought, He is definitely feigning his indifference!

”Yes. Yunxi has been good to me. You know it, she has always been gentle and considerate since young,” said Di Lin with a smile. He then lowered his voice, ”By the way, she's exceedingly intoxicating on the bed. Many times, I can't even stop even when I want to!”

A trace of anger surfaced in Xia Yunxi's eyes, but it quickly faded.

”Hehe, as long as you like it. It's not like she's related to me anyway,” said Xiang Shaoyun. Even so, he still felt some pain in his heart upon hearing that. Without a doubt, he used to love the woman before him dearly. However, they could no longer return to how they were in the past.

”True. Looks like you have really forgotten about the past. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to let go of your feelings for Yunxi!” said Di Lin, a look of pride on his face.

”Whether you're here to show off or mock me, remember this: Di Lin, your life will always be mine,” said Xiang Shaoyun, suddenly turning serious.

Your life will always be mine!
