I stared blankly at the jade pendant I had placed in my sleeve, wondering if Xi was inside. This jade was given to me by him when he learned I was pregnant with his child, though at that time, I never cherished it.
“Let him be free! A thousand years is enough; he has been waiting for you for so long!” She continued speaking, afraid I would refuse.
I looked at her coldly, seeing her eager eyes fixed on me.
I took out the jade pendant from my sleeve and stared at it blankly. Crystal clear like white mutton fat. I remembered this jade pendant was given to me by Shui Zixi after learning I was pregnant, but at the time, my vision was clouded by hatred.
I slowly picked up the jade pendant and smashed it on the ground. If this could resolve everything, so be it. I owed Shui Zixi too much; he should not continue waiting for me. I did not deserve his devotion.
I stared blankly at the shattered fragments, a suffocating pain spreading in my heart. Such intense feeling, such piercing pain.
“Shui Zixi thought he could seal me like this? How laughable and stupid!” Ran YanEr’s true voice rang in my ear.
I knew she would never help me sincerely, but even knowing her purpose, I did not regret it because I truly did not deserve Xi’s sacrifices.
I gazed at the jade pendant for a long time before speaking again: “Give me three days. After three days, I will completely disappear!” My hoarse voice echoed in the air, soulless.
“Okay!”
When I awoke again, I was in Yin Can’s tent. The Floating Splendor Jade was gone, confirming that the dream was real.
“Where is Xi? Let me see him!” I spoke calmly, giving him a final chance.
He laughed, wild joy bursting from his eyes: “He doesn’t want to see you!” I had wanted to give him a last chance, but he chose to give up.
I looked at his face, laughing even more wildly than him.
