327 Untitled (1/2)
With a twist of Epsilon's body, the robes that had been discarded on the ground had suddenly returned to his body, and he carefully wrapped the Empress in the bedsheets, placing her gently on the bed.
After that, he turned unhurriedly to face Meng Fuyao.
When he turned towards her, there was even a hint of humor on his face.
Meng Fuyao felt a slight sense of admiration for this man. Even under such circumstances, he was still able to maintain his composure. The scene earlier must have been the ultimate form of humiliation for the Empress of Xuanji, and wouldn't it be so for one of the revered Top Ten as well? Even so, he remained apathetic, worthy of his status as a Sect Master in the Top Ten.
Upon seeing how sincerely and lovingly he treated the evil Empress, although she couldn't understand how he had fallen for her, Meng Fuyao still held the utmost respect for his pure and sincere feelings.
Yes, pure.
Standing by that woman's side for more than a decade, being infinitely stronger than her, having so many chances to seize her for himself, yet he had never once tainted her. If not for the series of events that she and the others had plotted, he, Epsilon, would probably have stayed innocently by her side, protecting her to the end.
Such resolve was scarcely seen in most men, especially powerful men.
And precisely because he loved her, he did everything for her, even if it went against his morals. As long as she was happy, as long as it benefited her—for example, trying to split Zhangsun Wuji and Meng Fuyao apart.
Meng Fuyao suddenly understood his actions that night on the boat; he was clearly able to take advantage of her, yet he had wasted a lot of time merely teasing her—he had never intended to taint her, he had simply wanted to sow discord between the two of them and achieve his objective.
Everything he did wasn't because he hated anyone or that he wanted to hurt anyone; it was all for the Empress of Xuanji.
Meng Fuyao suddenly felt distracted.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
She started thinking about the men by her side who had killed indiscriminately for her. As long as she required it, they would do it. From this angle, it seemed that, actually, they were the same.
Standing from each of their own perspectives, Epsilon was not in the wrong.
Meng Fuyao sighed softly, toying with the golden whip in her hand as she said mildly, ”Lord Epsilon if you leave and swear never to bother with Xuanji's affairs ever again, we can call it quits now.”
Epsilon remained silent, standing in the rain, unspeaking, his narrow eyes glistening. After a while, he let out a strange laugh and replied, ”Why should I leave?”
Meng Fuyao stared at him. In that short moment, his supple skin had already started to sag, wrinkles appearing around his eyes when he smiled. Once the Virgin Boy Technique was broken, all of his cultivation leaked out, and he was naturally unable to maintain his appearance. The Epsilon now was no longer an insurmountable opponent.
”If I were to leave, I will bring her with me,” Epsilon tilted his head and glanced at the Empress.
”Sorry, that's not possible,” Meng Fuyao said coldly. ”Actually, even if I kill you, it's still justified.”
”Then why are we still talking?” Epsilon laughed. ”Meng Fuyao, don't think that just because you are one of the Top Ten or that I have lost my Virgin Boy Technique cultivation, that you are now invincible. Even if you break my wings, I can still fly.”
”Then fly for all eternity.” Meng Fuyao smiled slightly. ”You don't need to come down anymore.”
Before she finished speaking, there was a flash of golden light!
She was on the golden light!
Whip-like golden rays of light, pencil straight with ferocious piercing power, appeared as Meng Fuyao stepped on it, her body turning into even more ferocious lightning.
Standing straight on the rays, she lifted her feet and the rays spread outwards in a brilliant fan-shaped display, spinning and whistling sharply. From the tip of the whip to the end, several areas contacted Epsilon's body directly!
However, Epsilon merely twisted his body.
He twisted his body, suddenly turning into a twisted dough shape, a flexible and soft but extremely strong twisted dough. With a slight twist, the exquisite lightning and golden rays were scattered in all directions.
