Ye Ai Xia stared at the two women in front of her as she yelled. “LIES! Ye Xiao must be alive!”

Su Daji laughed hollowly. “This is the news that Wei Shang delivered himself. There’s no way that it can’t be true.”

“You’re lying!”

“Wei Shang and His Highness ambushed Ye Xiao together. Do you think he would be able to survive after facing the attack of two peak Eon Energy Master Rank 4?” Su Lian asked again.

Her tone was clearly delighted. When Wei Shang asked her to deliver the news to Ye Ai Xia, she accepted the task with elation. Finally, she would be able to see the mighty Ye Ai Xia fall into despair. After being beaten up numerous times, this was the first time she saw Ye Ai Xia looked like this.

Ye Ai Xia’s blood boiled with rage. Ye Xiao had reached rank 4 a year ago. Even though he was still not a match against Wei Shang and that man, there would be no way her husband could die so easily.

She refused to believe this!

“Don’t think that you can fool me, Su Lian,” Ye Ai Xia disappeared from her place as she appeared right before Su Lian. Her hand swung as hard as possible, slapping the insolent woman in her face.

“You!” Su Daji swiftly moved to chase after Ye Ai Xia, but the latter had disappeared and returned back to her position.

Su Lian smirked. “You b*tch! Do you think I would lie to you about this? I’m genuinely happy when Wei Shang asks me to tell you this news. Now, you can definitely know how it feels to lose someone important to you.”

Wei Shang asks me to tell you this news…

That one sentence made Ye Ai Xia’s blood boil again. That damnable Wei Shang dared to hide such news from her.

She always stayed here to wait for Ye Xiao’s return. All these times, she believed that her husband would return, and they could stay together again. But what she got was the news of his death.

‘Xiao Ge, you’re a big fat liar.’

“Let’s hear the news directly from him, then,” Ye Ai Xia used her Eon Energy and grabbed the back collar of Su Lian before flying straight to Wei Shang’s residence. The speed which she used nearly caused Su Lian to be suffocated as the pressure was large.

The guards were chasing after her, but Su Daji didn’t even bother to do that. She turned her head to the residence that Ye Ai Xia left.

“Now, let me kill that little girl too.”

With a large smile on her face, Su Daji entered the residence.

At high speed, Ye Ai Xia entered Wei Shang’s residence. Her aura was exceptionally scary as she barged into the place. In front of her, Wei Shang was standing calmly without any intention to run away.

“You’re quicker than before,” Wei Shang remarked.

Ye Ai Xia glared. “Where’s my husband?”

She tossed Su Lian to the side. At this time, Su Lian couldn’t use her strength that she was always proud of in the past. Her body felt hurt as she was assigned to great pressure when travelling at the speed she was unable to handle.

“He has died,” Wei Shang replied. “I worked together with His Highness to set a trap on him and attack him directly.”

“Lies! You can’t possibly defeat him!” Ye Ai Xia yelled.

Wei Shang arched his eyebrows. “Do you really think that someone who has just reached rank 4 can defeat two people who had stayed stuck in this stage for years? He’s nothing but a child in front of us.”

Rank 4…

They knew that Ye Xiao had reached rank 4.

Ye Ai Xia stared blankly as anger was boiling inside her body. Right now, she felt mad and annoyed at the realization that she never thought that Ye Xiao would die in their hand.

“Lies, you’re lying!” Ye Ai Xia said again. She didn’t want to believe that her husband had died, but she didn’t have any choice but to believe.

“You can repeat that no matter how many times you want, but you won’t be able to change the fact,” Wei Shang said calmly.

“You-!”

“Here,” Wei Shang threw something in Ye Ai Xia’s direction. “You might not be able to believe me, but this is all that’s left from him.”

In the woman’s hand was a beautiful necklace made of cheap embroidery. Ye Ai Xia perfectly remembered this particular necklace because she was the one who made it when they were young. It was her gift for Ye Xiao and that man would never take it off because he promised her.

Wei Shang looked at Ye Ai Xia and calmly persuaded her once more. “Just give up, Ai Xia. If you stay with me, I’ll protect you and Ye Jiao.”

Ye Ai Xia didn’t reply. She felt nothing but disgust when she talked with Wei Shang. Over the time he chased after her, he always used different kinds of means to win her over. Not even once she felt moved by his action.

Did he think that by killing her husband, he would get her?

He must be dreaming.

That annoying king hated Ye Xiao because of the latter’s talent, so he always found all kinds of means to hinder Ye Xiao. And when he succeeded, he didn’t stop there and continued to put all kind of pressure to the man, breaking down her husband terribly.

When they wanted to leave, he just had to appear and stop them. This Wei Shang’s proposal allowed them to stay alive because he wanted her, and he was very patient. But it seemed that the time had reached the limit.

They couldn’t tolerate Ye Xiao’s existence anymore.

‘Too bright and you’ll have many enemies chasing after you. Too low and you’ll have many people pushing you around.’

Ye Ai Xia mocked herself as she laughed dryly. How she wished that the two of them could have just been ordinary Eon Energy Masters and lived a normal life. If that was the case, there would be no need for them to experience this kind of thing.

‘Xiao Ge, I’m sorry….’

Rather than being this man’s woman, she would rather die. She only accepted the proposal to stay in his residence and gave him time because they would allow Ye Jiao to stay alive. But now, she didn’t have any reason to stay here anymore. Would they even allow her daughter to live while treating her harshly just like what they had done so far?

‘Jiao’er, Mother is sorry…’

Ye Ai Xia started to initiate her Eon Energy inside her body. To reach rank 4, they must come in term with their path in martial arts and have a vision for their future. If they tried to hastily reach it after reaching peak rank 3, they would be stuck in that rank forever, unable to advance. Or worse, they would die not long after they reached the rank because of the price they gave for the power.

She could never come in terms with her own path and condition. But right now, all of that didn’t matter.

Within the next moment, she forced herself to the next rank, blasting her surroundings with a powerful Eon Energy wave.
