Chapter 487: Su Luoqing’s Transformation (1/2)

He was someone who couldn’t be satisfied no matter what. It could even be said that Pei Wuchen could never be content with what he had.

In Bai Luochu’s opinion, this was the best punishment for people with endless greed. Watching them lose everything they were about to obtain before their very eyes could be considered divine retribution. She felt that they should live out the rest of their life alone without anyone to care for them.

Loneliness… This was the greatest torture the heavens had for anyone.

“Luo Chu, do you think… Do you think that my life would be any different if I had accepted you as my wife in the past?” The rim of Pei Wuchen’s eyes were red as he gazed at Bai Luochu’s face with regret in his eyes. The messy stubble on his face emphasised his desperation as he tried all he could to salvage the situation.

Shaking her head slowly, Bai Luochu ignored Pei Wuchen’s attempted repentance. “It’s impossible for you to turn back time and there isn’t an elixir for regret. There is no point regretting your actions now. Moreover, even if you manage to turn back time, I’m sure you’ll make the same decision as you did before.”

After the words left her mouth, Bai Luochu left without turning back.

Pei Qingfeng felt that she was feeling extremely down when she had left and he decided to bring her around for a stroll before returning to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.

“Was I being too cruel? Did I do the right thing by pushing the matter all the way through?” Bai Luochu felt a tinge of regret when she saw Feng Wan’er’s gruesome end.

“Don’t blame yourself. Her greed knows no bounds and you merely stopped her from going overboard.”

She merely got what she deserved. There is no need for you to feel sad for her…

Despite Pei Qingfeng’s best efforts to reassure her, Bai Luochu found it impossible to let go of the incident. Before she could continue, someone bumped into the both of them. “Your Second Highness?”

Pei Qingfeng’s body froze up when he heard the voice. After all, no one called him ‘Your Second HIghness’ for a long time now. Someone who could recognize him by looking at his back was definitely someone extremely familiar with him.

Bai Luochu’s reactions were faster than Pei Qingfeng and she turned around to look at the newcomer. When the familiar face entered her sight, Bai Luochu was startled. “Why… why are you here?”

Su Luoqing’s attention was placed solely on Pei Qingfeng and she didn’t notice Bai Luochu’s presence. When she heard a feminine voice speaking to her, she snapped back to attention and looked at Bai Luochu. A feeling of anger rose in her heart and she snapped, “Why aren’t you dead? Looks like your life is really tough…”

Even though her words were a little jarring to the ears, Bai Luochu couldn’t feel any enmity coming from her. Her expression seemed tranquil and she wasn’t the Su Luoqing of the past.

“What a coincidence, King Yama doesn’t want to claim my life and the heavens insists on bringing me back. Anyway, it seems like you’re here to talk to Pei Qingfeng. Do you need me to leave you two alone?” Bai Luochu’s trust in Pei Qingfeng was already unshakable and she wouldn’t be afraid that he would be seduced by Su Luoqing or anyone else for that matter.

Instead of chasing her away, Su Luoqing shook her head. “I’m just looking for him for a quick chat. If I were to harbor any other intentions, I’m afraid that the elders in the palace would nag at me till my ears start to bleed.”

Thinking about Su Luoqing’s current identity, Bai Luochu knew that she wouldn’t be able to go overboard and simply agreed to it.
