Chapter 26 Confusion (1/2)

“It’s none of your business!”

I glared at Xu Yingchen.

“But you should be quite skeptical about everything that surrounds you by now, right?” Xu Yingchen said slowly. He smiled so casually that I wanted to punch him in the face. “Wen Jiubo, the man you trust, the man you love. You believe that at this point, he can’t hide anything from you; you believe that even if he did lie to you, it must be because he has his reasons, and he must do that for your own good. However, right now, you’ve started to think that everything you believed in might be a lie.”

“Shut up!”

God knows how much I wanted to grab his collar and slap him, but the tall, black, long-haired monsters around us prevented me from acting rashly.

“What? Am I wrong?” The light in Xu Yingchen’s eyes showed that he was plotting something. “If I am wrong, then why don’t you just ignore my words. After all, he is still the most important person to you, right? Wen Jiubo, Wen Jiubo, everything about you revolves around him. Since the day you met him, he is the center of your life, shining like the sun. But he never thought about you. You’re just a puppet in his eyes. Do you understand this now? For him, you’re just a substitute.”

“Xu Yingchen!” I shook my fist at him and did not care about those horrible monsters anymore. But we were in his territory, he easily dodged my punch and grabbed my wrist.

“Well, are you angry? Aren’t I telling you the truth?” Xu Yingchen glanced at Wen Jiubo scornfully, who was just silently standing by the side. “Didn’t you hear what he just said? You’re just one of the many reincarnations of Wen Qingyu. Before you, he met thousands of ‘Wen Qingyu’. He met them, befriended them, fell in love with them and kissed them——oh, perhaps he slept with many of them.” Xu Yingchen said mockingly.

“I don’t believe you!” I blurted out.

“Is that so?” Xu Yingchen looked at Wen Jiubo. “If anything I said was wrong, why didn’t he refute it?”

Yes, Wen Jiubo had remained silent ever since Xu Yingchen showed up.

“Wen Jiubo.” I tried to remain calm. “Say something.”

However, Wen Jiubo avoided my gaze and was just silently staring at the ground.

“From the beginning, you were the only one in the dark about this whole situation.” Xu Yingchen laughed, pacing around me. “I’ve been watching you guys, watching you——my princess. The weasel beside him, Bai Ze that you met on Mt. Diecui, oh, and Mr. Cat in the gap between the world of Yin and the world of Yang. They know who you are, but none of them ever told you the truth. And you’re so stupid that you actually still trust them; you’re totally unaware that they see you as a joke! Oh, I almost forgot, do you know why Wen Jiubo lied to you by telling you that I was the one who sealed him?”

I shook my head.

“Idiot.” Xu Yingchen shook his head. “The Jade Ruyi, the legendary treasure that is said to be able to realize any wish; he fooled you. He fooled you because he wanted to use you to get it! He is just a monster. Open your eyes and see, he is different from us. We’re the same; we’re humans! Don’t you understand yet? All the monsters in the world are evil; they’re just parasites to our human world, and they should be exterminated!”

I looked at Xu Yingchen and felt lost. This time, I did not know what to say. Nothing could express my feelings right now because my whole world was collapsing in front of me, everything felt like it was breaking apart.

Then, Wen Jiubo spoke up.
