Chapter 514: Chapter 514: The Dagger That Pierced Her Heart!
On Heilong Mountain.

Elder Leisure spoke animatedly, while Liu Sisi was sitting on a protruding rock beside him, feeling drowsy as she listened.

He had been talking for nearly two hours.

During this time, Liu Sisi had tried to interrupt him, but he seemed completely oblivious and just kept talking.

“…Sisi, do you know what I was thinking at that moment?”

He suddenly called out to Liu Sisi, pulling her wandering thoughts back to the conversation.

Liu Sisi hurriedly complied: “What was on your mind, old gentleman?”

But in her heart, she cursed him to be half-dead!

Abusing the name of love, he forcefully took this woman’s body, forcefully snatched his younger brother’s beloved, and forcefully imprisoned her by his side, claiming it was “love.”

Talking about this “love” was an insult to its sanctity!

However, she had come here with a purpose today, and she couldn’t easily offend him!

“Exactly! Hahaha… So I exchanged the imperial throne for her! In the end, he returned to the capital as Emperor, and I got Xin’er. You see, am I not clever?”

Elder Leisure burst into laughter, then sneered coldly.

“I know! Many people say I’m stupid for making such a trade. But they don’t understand that I simply love a beautiful woman more than a kingdom… Those mediocre people are destined to be trampled into the mud for a lifetime…”

As Liu Sisi tightly clenched her fists and pursed her lips, she looked at the crazed man in front of her.

Perhaps he was right!

Everyone’s pursuit is different. What he longed for was not the throne above everyone, but to be with the one he truly loved. Even if she had already died, he stubbornly stayed here, guarding her side.

“Then, how did she die? And why didn’t you erect a monument for her?”

Liu Sisi’s voice was very low, and she couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Elder Leisure seemed to fall into a struggle, gritting his teeth for quite a while before he finally whispered.

“It was her, she said she wanted to rest in peace, not wanting a monument because she didn’t want to be disturbed. She also didn’t allow people to worship her with incense, fearing that these worldly objects would taint her path of reincarnation…”

“She…how could she?”

Liu Sisi was also surprised, looking down at the newly emerged daylilies.

“Do you know how she died?”

“How did she die?”

“I killed her! Hehehe…”

He laughed, suddenly baring his white teeth.

This kind of gaze made Liu Sisi’s scalp tingle, and she instinctively wanted to run away but forced herself to stand still.

He laughed for quite a while, and then suddenly bent down to take a dagger from his boot.

As soon as the dagger appeared, Liu Sisi’s eyes widened, and her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

It was that dagger!

There was no doubt that it was that dagger!

It’s the same dagger that constantly haunted her nightmares!

The unshakable nightmare and the dagger deeply embedded in her heart!

The one large and three small pearls embedded on the dagger shine with varying dazzling lights, like the fierce beast’s eyeballs, constantly flashing with mocking eyes!

Liu Sisi’s complexion instantly turned pale, and the blood drained from her face.

It seemed as if she had fallen into the nightmare again, just like she had dreamt many times before. Silently, she retreated step by step, instinctively covering her chest with an expression of pain on her face.

This was where the dagger pierced her in the dream.

“That bastard, he can’t stand to see me and Xin’er happy together! He actually took the opportunity when I was not paying attention and took my Xin’er away! How could I let him go? How could I?!”

Elder Leisure’s face was filled with a chilling, ferocious expression!

He held the dagger upside down, just like the scene in Liu Sisi’s dream, clutching the hilt with the blade pointed downward, making repeated stabbing motions.

He approached Liu Sisi step by step, and she retreated subconsciously!

She could no longer breathe, her chest thumped violently due to a lack of oxygen, and her heart seemed ready to burst forth from her chest cavity!

Unexpectedly, she tripped over a broken rock behind her and, just like in the dream, he leaned forward with a vicious grin…

“Xin’er is mine! She’s mine, Xin’er. We’ll be together forever… I can only kill you with my own hands! This way, you’ll belong to me forever…”

It felt as if time and space had turned upside down, and he seemed to return to that year.

The breathtakingly beautiful woman knelt before him, tear-stained, pleading with him for the last and only time…

“Brother Rui, Xin’er swears to heaven that she has never betrayed you. After so many years as husband and wife, do you still not believe Xin’er?”

“Brother Rui, the Eldest Heir is gone, and my heart aches too! How could Xin’er possibly have hurt him…”

“Brother Rui! If you really don’t trust Xin’er and listen to the provocation of others, just kill Xin’er!”

She smiled faintly, but her eyes were filled with despair. Although she held a baby in her arms, she still threw herself toward the dagger in his hand…

Elder Leisure’s face alternated between ferocity and tenderness, violence and affection, while he muttered non-stop.

Liu Sisi instinctively wanted to escape but feared to disturb the other party.

It was only at this moment that she realized she had retreated to the edge of the platform, behind her was a huge concave rock like a barrier. In order to break free from his control, she would have to make a break through his side.

Watching the mumbling madman, she carefully moved her already sore and weak legs to escape through the gap on his left without alarming him.

“Xin’er, don’t die! Stay with me, Xin’er, Xin’er…”

Elder Leisure’s mouth kept mumbling, and his mind was filled with scenes from that year.

A dagger was embedded in Xin’er’s chest, and fresh blood flowed continuously from her mouth and chest.

The little girl still wrapped in swaddling clothes cried non-stop, her body stained red with her mother’s blood, turning her into a blood-soaked being.

“Xin’er, don’t die… Don’t leave me! I’m afraid of being alone in this world, Xin’er…”

The woman soaked in the blood pool smiled, and her delicate smile was like a blooming peony.

She reluctantly looked at the baby still in swaddling clothes.

“Xin’er… I don’t… ask for anything… Please, in consideration of… the years Xin’er has served you… entrust this child to a good family… Let her live like an ordinary person… happy… and never follow… the same path as her mother…”
