Chapter 499: Even in Darkness, There is Light

Wu Shun was naïve to think that he had gone through theinto her past and piece the inforetherI'd like to see you remain in one piece after that!

Upon the completion of the sidequest, Jane Doe Su's past was relived in the forthy CG cutscene, portrayed as a stream of consciousnessA beautiful, sorrowful BGM lay out the coup de grace, branding her searing ie in the minds of countless viewers

Jane Doe Su had been born into the Zhao royal fa Zhao's flesh and bloodIn reality, she had never even once owned a princess' tiaraHer enetics in the palace

She was an excellent sword dancer, but was not even close to being related to King Zhao and his bedchambers, but it was his barbarity that culminated in Jane Doe's unplanned birth

Jane Doe Su had never received any fatherly love from Su HuHer mother attempted to provide what she could, to the best of her limited abilityJane Doe experienced a torturous, hostile childhoodPerhaps she understood the pain of being weak far toothe weak…

The fact that she gained soshort of a miracleIn reality, those who had unfortunate childhoods were often bitter and resentfulThose who had suffered much would only dish it back to the cruel world when they finally gained the strength

Many weaklings would even take the extra step and bully others when they get in the positionIt was as if they wanted to claiht, they had resorted to attacking indiscrier who had lived through a brief life of hell had a heart that was as gentle as it was toughIt was this extreme case of juxtaposition that shattered their hearts to pieces…

The world was in a disastrously short supply of noble soulsIt was this scarcity that made their actions all the more valuablePerhaps onlookers would ridicule such souls as foolish and agonizingly naiveHowever, if they ever find themselves in a predicament, they would never be able to resist the infectious charave an account behind Jane Doe Su's apparently unnecessary blindfoldHer equally nameless mother had been the first person to do it around her faceIt– Escapism was shameful, but it was necessary at tiht be better to shut her eyes froht and beautiful, she would be safe in her happiness…

This was also a way of protecting Jane Doe SuShe was sis would never last long in a cruel, brutal world

Jane Doe Su often listened to her irlHer words ca stars, but her actions struck the earth like meteoritesShe would always carry out her mother's requests to their fullest

Jane Doe Su was born with an elegant coift in martial artsHer sun [1] of old beca else entirely, when it was handed down to herSoh her indecipherable comprehension, she turned art and dance into a dance of death!

Perhaps God had taken pity on herPerhaps by shutting her beautiful eyes fro twice the result with half the effort as she weaved through the air, sword in hand…

A life of hardshi+p finally took its toll on her motherAs she succuth to place a blindfold on her daughterShe wanted to spare her daughter fro-term abuseShe did not want Jane Doe Su to witness hooiven out as pieces of flesh to reward depraved monarchsShe did not wish to Jane Doe Su to see how they would then be handed out as second-handed goods to twisted courtiers and guards ould thelimpse of such acts with her oo eyes, who knoould be of her sanity after that

The nareattoo weak to be theto help her in tiic fateIn this hopelessly dark world, s that would eat humansNeither did monsters and demons re, Jane Doe Su fell silentFortunately, she was not yet of age back thenShe ht have just ended up like her motherDespite all of her weaknesses and her lack of resources, she had shi+elded her daughter from the elements…

The people practically dismissed Jane Doe SuThe day finally cadom of Zhao's palace that was akin to a pitch dark den of e her ht” - Such was Jane Doe Su's reflection on life

Jane Doe Su ht not have her naardless

Even though Anonymous City was destroyed, its spirit would exist forever

Perhaps one day, some other expert would coy and start another uprising

Jane Doe Su enius soe in the si the weakShe was no tactician…

Jane Doe Su was once associated with Li Xiye the God of SwordsHowever, this was not shown explicitly in the game - only subtle hints were left behindThe fanbase definitely caught on to it, for they were continually discussing and shi+pping these two

Others insisted that this was canonical, so they were tirelessly scouring the game for evidence to support thatWhen their efforts bore no fruit, they would spend their ti on scenes of their own

It could not be helpedWu Shun's gameplay had ended so horrifically, and Jane Doe's deic

Wu Shun was party to this - and that hurt hi at one point that he had hidden his head behind his armsHe had been embroiled in such a violent mix of fury and sorrow that words fled from his mouth!

If he had known of who to trust from the start, how could he have played out such an end?

Finally losing his dom of Zhao's palaceHe atte to kill the sick kingOf course, he was quickly taken out…

That was his final opportunity of being granted an audience with the kingHe had lost his value in the court the moment Anonymous City fell
