Cen Yuan sighed deeply, his voice muffled through the old man's mask, but it was like the sound of a bell from an ancient temple striking into Shi Anxia's heart. "Xia'er... I've also gone through countless lives of separation and death to be with you until now."
Shi Anxia's eyebrows twitched.
How many generations!
Cen Yuan didn't dare look into her eyes through the pores of her mask. As she lowered her eyes, her voice was as hoarse as a rusty knife scraping at bones. "I wasn't born knowing how to cherish you. The path between you and me was forged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood over many lifetimes."
He is not born with a love brain.
He had betrayed her before.
They have been fighting to the death for their entire lives.
Cen Yuan closed her eyes, and the most distant memories of her past life pierced the darkness.
He is the son of the Prince Regent who went into battle in armor at the age of thirteen. His sword is tempered with blood just to crush thousands of bones and climb to the ninth level of the Dragon Court.
She was a jade-like figure locked in a golden cage. Even the few chirping sounds that leaked through the palace walls were devoutly recorded on the apricot-yellow paper as if they were the decrees of the gods from the nine heavens.
He approached her deliberately, covered himself with his warm skin, and gave her a jade bell, saying, "This sound can communicate with the gods."
He taught her how to identify the star map, but branded the Purple Star on her palm.
How could she know that the hollow of the bell concealed a silver whistle he used to contact his assassins? The so-called "destiny" palm print was just a fire starter he used to incite the people with a nursery rhyme.
Until the night when the Regent's cavalry broke through the palace gate, she stumbled over, clutching the blood-stained star map, only to see him standing on top of a mountain of corpses, having personally cut off her father's head.
Blood splattered three feet away, dyeing the "Purple Star" in her palm red.
"Why..." Her throat made a hoarse sound, like a fawn with its throat cut.
He lifted her chin with the tip of his sword, and the warmth in his eyes shattered into ice. "Princess, sincerity in troubled times is like a poison that penetrates the intestines."
Her tears fell like rain, and suddenly she rushed towards the sword like a red kite with broken wings! When the sharp blade pierced his collarbone, blood splattered on the dragon pattern on his armor, hot like molten stars.
"Good! Very good!" Blood foamed in her throat, and her laughter mixed with tears and sobs, "This intestinal poison... I swallowed it..."
The blood-stained fingertips tightly grasped the sword blade, allowing the metacarpal bones to be cut, and pushed the remaining body forward another three inches!
The moment the severe pain tore through her pupils, she smiled a pure yet cold smile, "Cen Yuan... remember..."
Remember what, she didn't finish.
But from then on, the blood on the tip of the sword solidified into an everlasting frost on his eternal imperial career.
He fell into the same nightmare every night.
She chased after him, her skirt lifted up, her laughter like honey wrapped in silver bells, and her eyes sparkled like star-like fragments when she called his name.
The moment he turned around, his smile suddenly froze into ice and a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The cold sword pierced his chest.
At the moment of excruciating pain, she slipped out a sentence and asked him softly, "Cen Yuan, you said that sincerity is a poison that penetrates the intestines?"
......
This was their bloody beginning. Cen Yuan spoke the first half, and Shi Anxia took over the second half.
They...had actually long since shattered the shackles of past life memories. Ice shards pierced their bloodstreams, coursing through them day and night, the slightest touch piercing their hearts and bones.
Over the years, they have kept their lips and tongues nailed to the edge of a honey jar. They would rather drown in the icing and gasp for breath than pry open the frozen old wounds and release the souls roaring in the river of blood.
It was because of such tragic heartbreak that it was a barbed hook forged from the melting iron of the Nine Heavens, and the tip of the hook was tempered with rust that could not be washed away by the water of the Forgetful River.
Whoever touches it first will nail the other person to the reincarnation pillar with his own hands, and cut out his broken heart once again.
Shi Anxia's voice came out from the old woman's mask, "In one life, I also let you down..."
