[Warning for graphic description of violence (more so than the usual)]
He kneas in a dreaht before hirazed histhere for so, so long with utmost calmness, his pulse even slower than usual The sun was done traversing the sky, and the night was falling
Zhou Zishu watched all of it, detached fro as a habit He didn't kno to view hiht and wrong It was for his own self-preservation; as long as he acted without thinking, he wouldn't be driven to insanity
He was do rested Prosperity was like beautifully decorated sleeves, and his hands were forever hidden inside of the it difficult for people to really see hined over the people, another chapter in history would begin…
Zhou Zishu lowered his head The face of the person in his dreaht he could still see the features that belonged to a little girl—she was held in the nanny's arms like an innocent, helpless lamb while her protector never strayed from her task with a desperate expression on her face
The young girl looked up and said in a tiny voice ”My father is a good person, ood person, we're all good people, you shouldn't kill us”
He ren of the late E blow to the Second Prince, Tian Chuang was ordered to assassinate the entire fa, as recently fired fro to leave the capital Sir Jiang's daughter Jiang Xue was only four years old, an incredibly sot a chance to grow up?
Zhou Zishu felt his hands raised, then a shrill feh her chest, then through the little girl's body There was no disgust or grief, for he had been used to it ever since he came into his position
Did it matter whether people were kind-hearted or loyal? There was never a law that forbade good people to have their lives taken away
But he heard a drawn-out sigh in the air; so, An eye for an eye—
Sharp pain spiked in his chest as he startled awake and sat up
With excruciating ritted to reign in the pained noises His fingers gripped a corner of the blanket tightly, knuckles white; his hair wild, entire appearance ony, he dazedly thought, Look, Zhou Zishu you da to die as well

The openlet the chilly wind in, and Gu Xiang's clothes and hair fluttered The erotic book on the table was also turned a few pages under the wind, creating rustling sounds Wen Kexing allowed a slow smile to spread over his face and spoke softly, ”I have waited for this for twenty years”
Gu Xiang only looked at him in silence The smile on his face showed inconceivable relief that bordered on ht around, he al reverence in her
Wen Kexing's hand reached out andto catch the wind ”My wish is that there won't be any forces standing in hosts, or immortals, or demons… I want the world to be rid of the”
In his other hand was a piece of paper Gu Xiang's gaze stopped at that yellowed slip, on which a face of a ghost was scrawledstood up and lit a candle, hovering the paper above it until it was burned into ashes
His expression was of pure worshi+p
Ye Baiyi slept until he was jerked out of his dream for an unknown reason There was a distinct lack of disorientation in his eyes that should be typical of so up, hands slowly lifting the strange pendant on his neck to view it Taking a closer look, one could see that the jewelry was expertly crafted, and was an exact miniature of the Real, ”Changqing, I always have a bad feeling about this, why aren't you here anymore…”
Would the world be so much more peaceful if the Co ceased to exist?
