Huo Chulan did not seem to understand what he meant. She looked at him in confusion.
Jiu Chi lowered his head and looked at her. At this moment, Huo Chulan suddenly realized that the way Jiu Chi looked at her seemed to have changed.
Compared to his usual gentleness, it was as if she could feel that Jiu Chi was treating her differently. His eyes were extremely cold as if he was looking at a stranger.
No, it was not unfamiliar. She could clearly see the hatred in his eyes.
It was as if she had hurt the most important person to him. He hated her so much that he wanted her to die.
"You… What's wrong?" Huo Chulan might not even know how thick the fear in her voice was.
Jiu Chi looked down at her and suddenly smiled, his eyes cold.
"The thing I regret the most in my two lifetimes is helping you. I stole her life and caused her to lose her family and friends. She died alone."
"What two lifetimes?" Huo Chulan looked at him in fear. "You said you would help me. You said you would help me."
"You're the only one I have left. Can you help me?"
"I helped you!" Jiu Chi's voice was very soft. He looked at Huo Chulan's despairing eyes. "I've returned you everything you deserve."
"So… so Xing Jiuan has already been destroyed?"
"I knew it…"
Huo Chulan was crying and laughing at the same time. She was almost crazy. However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiu Chi without hesitation.
He seemed to have no patience at all. He did not want to hear what Huo Chulan had to say to him.
"You will return everything you owe her."
"You'll get everything you deserve."
He pushed Huo Chulan's hand away in disgust. "From now on, you can atone for your sins properly."
"Jiu Chi, what do you mean?"
"You said you would help me."
"You said it yourself."
"Are you giving up on me?"
"Who are you to do so?"
"Jiu Chi, no…"
Huo Chulan widened her eyes. Jiu Chi had pinched her neck ruthlessly, leaving only one scarlet eye staring fixedly at her. It was as if he wanted her dead the next moment.
Huo Chulan looked at him in fear and begged him to spare her. Her face was red.
Jiu Chi suddenly left her behind and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his hands slowly. It was as if he had touched something dirty and disgusting. His expression became even uglier.
Huo Chulan looked at him as if she was looking at a devil.
"I gave up on you long ago," Jiu Chi said slowly. He looked at Huo Chulan as if he was looking at a dead person.
"If you weren't still useful, do you think you would have lived until now?"
Jiu Chi turned to leave.
"You'll regret it. You'll regret it."
Jiu Chi did not stop walking. He did not seem to have any emotions when he heard this.
Ha, regret?
He had long regretted it.
Even if he was reborn, he could only use everything to atone for his sins.
Unfortunately, everything would not return to the beginning.
It was already sunset. He walked slowly as if he was walking toward darkness and hell.
Huo Chulan was flustered and helpless. At this moment, she actually did not know who to look for.
No, she could no longer look for anyone.
Even the only person she trusted did not want her anymore.
He wished she was dead.
Why? Why did all the good things happen to Xing Jiuan? Why did she have so much?
Why could Huo Chulan only live in Xing Jiuan's shadow?
