”Eh?” Just as Xu Que was deep in thought, he heard a pair of gentle footsteps approaching him. He regained his senses and looked across.
Under the soft glow of the moon, the Flaming Sun Princess was walking over graciously. She had a calm demeanor across her face as her pale hands held onto two bottles of wine.
”Xu Que.” She called out to him gently, her voice sounded mild and apologetic. She then carefully strode over to where he sat. She then spoke calmly, ”This Princess knows you hate my Ji family. But this is a world where the strong triumphs over the weak. When you are powerless, you'll be twirled around the fingers of the strong. Even the powers of life and death can't be decided by yourself. That's exactly how this Princess feels when in your presence.”
”However, those six years which we we're together, I cannot totally forget. Hence I shall drink a toast to sever our husband and wife relations once and for all. So that when you finally do kill me, you won't bear the title of ‘wife killer’ as a result.” After she finished speaking, she then handed the jug on her right hand over to Xu Que.
The jug on her right contained the Core Yin Yang wine. The jug on her left was just plain normal wine. Both these wine looked and smelt the same. But the one she offered was poisoned!
Although Xu Que didn't know, he wasn't going to blindly accept that jug of wine.
He looked closely at the Flaming Sun Princess and noticed that she had no emotions across her face at all. He then looked away and completely ignored her.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ heart fluttered. That stare by Xu Que was so cold and icy, catching her completely off guard.
Could it be that this Princess guessed wrongly? Had he discarded their relationship a long time ago? That's not possible.
The Flaming Sun Princess didn't dare to give up hope and asked out once more, ”Is the reason you won't drink this wine is because you're afraid that I might poison you or that you're still upset about what happened in the past?”
Xu Que mumbled to himself before laughing out coldly, ”You're thinking too much. I won't ever drink wine with two types of people. The first type are dead people and the second type are lowdown scums. You happen to fulfill both criterias, so why should I drink with you?”
”You…” The Flaming Sun Princess was enraged.
”You better be honest right now before I decide what to do with you and cherish your last few living moments and reflect on all the evil atrocities you've done.” Xu Que berated her and laughed out in mockery.
What a joke. This big brother of yours have read so many years worth of comics and novels on the internet. Do you think all of it have gone to waste? Why would you randomly come here and bring me wine to drink? I'm 100% sure it's poisoned!
”The only mistake I've made was to sleep with you. Now all I want before my death is to sever all ties with you. Why can't you even grant my final wish?” The Flaming Sun Princess asked through gritted teeth.
Xu Que’s eyebrows twitched as his lips curled into a sinister grin, ”With your current situation, you have no bargaining chips left to make requests of me. But I agree to severing all ties as husband and wife with you. Pass me the wine.”
As he finished speaking, he reached out a hand.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ expression remained neutral, as if she had a thousand years of winter written across her face. She then handed Xu Que the wine held on her right hand.
Xu Que wasn't in a hurry to drink it. He summoned the system and shouted out in his head, ”System, check if this wine is poisoned!”
”Ding! Check is complete. This is the Core Yin Yang wine. When a man drinks it, he will lose all his cultivation powers and would never be able to cultivate ever again. When a woman drinks it, it will immensely turn on her sexual desire. The only way to relieve her of it is if she sleeps with a man. (Note: If the man’s cultivation is higher than hers, the man will absorb all her powers and cultivation abilities, but will not affect her cultivation in future.)
”Damn it. I knew there was something wrong with the wine. System, are there any methods to swap the wine in her hands?” Xu Que asked in his head. Since even this wine would harm a woman, he assumed the other jug of wine would be harmless!
