El paisaje es como una pintura

Capítulo 170

But to keep you, I'm willing to break your wings that want you to fly high...

Don't worry, I will cherish you from now on. What Tuoba Chen can give you, I can give you too...

I don't expect your forgiveness, I only ask that you stay by my side, even if it's with hatred, as long as you're with me...

Because, after being lonely for so long, I don't want to experience the cold and desolate nights alone anymore. I really want to find someone to share these difficult, cold nights with...

And you, unfortunately, were chosen by me...

Knowing full well that you are someone else's warmth, I couldn't resist your allure and recklessly took you away...

sorry……

The fragrant bird's nest porridge, simmering in a milky white porcelain spoon, was cooled and then gently brought to the pale, bloodless, and chapped lips.

"Bird's nest porridge is nourishing. Here, have a bite."

Her once bright and lively almond-shaped eyes were now wide open, empty and numb, devoid of sorrow, joy, anger, or pleasure. She stared blankly at the top of the bed curtains, lying motionless like a living dead, except for breathing.

"Listen to me, eat it. I know you don't like it here, so how about this: once you've recovered, I can promise to take you away from here, and we'll find another place to live, just the two of us, okay?"

"I know you can't let go of your dog, right? As for children, we're still young, we'll have them eventually. Once we've settled down, I won't object to having as many as you want."

"I know you're secretly mocking me, wondering how I could possibly let go of my dream of pursuing power. Ha, actually, you might not realize it, but the reason I'm so obsessed with power is because I hate him. I hate that person, I hate that he killed my mother, I hate the pain he brought me!"

"I also hate the injustice of the world. Why must I suffer so much? So I want power, I want the world! Once I seize the world, I can trample those who have hurt me under my feet and repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold for the pain I have endured!"

"But why is it that as I watch those who harmed me die one by one, my heart feels no joy of revenge, but rather a sense of confusion and emptiness?"

"It seems that unifying the world has become the only reason I live..."

"But fate destined me to meet you." Perhaps you won't believe it, but actually, from a very early age, I've unknowingly harbored feelings for you that I myself wasn't aware of.

"Heh, maybe not, it's just that I'm deliberately suppressing it."

"Time and again, I've used the excuse of conquering the world to convince myself that my possessiveness towards you is merely using you to help me seize power. But only I know the real reason..."

"After deceiving myself for so long, for the first time I feel how relieved it is to follow my heart..."

"I don't want to suppress myself anymore. I've been lonely and isolated for so long, and I've finally found warmth in someone. I don't want to give it up. Even if it takes force, I will hold onto it tightly!"

"I know you are an eagle ready to take flight, and no one can stop you from soaring through the blue sky if you are willing. So don't blame me for breaking your wings; I just want to keep you here."

"From now on, you'll only have me left, and I will never let you down..."

Forcibly prying open her tightly clenched teeth, a spoonful of bird's nest porridge slid into her long-uneaten mouth. But the next instant, the porridge flowed back out untouched from the corner of her lips…

A look of deep sorrow settled on his face.

He wiped the corners of her lips clean, scooped up another spoonful of porridge, blew on it to cool it, and brought it close to her lips...

The porridge continued to slowly slide down the corner of her lips...

Another spoonful of porridge was handed over...

The porridge continued to slip down...

Clang! The bowl and spoon were slammed onto the floor, falling onto the cold ground with a sharp cracking sound before shattering into pieces.

"What do you want! Tell me what you want! I'll give you anything, everything!"

With bloodshot eyes, Tuoba Jie violently grabbed Rongyue from the bed, shaking her slender shoulders wildly. He roared uncontrollably, "Do you want to fight me with your death? I won't allow it! I won't allow you to die, do you hear me?!"

"Get up! Get up!! I've crippled your hands, don't you hate me? Don't you want revenge? Don't you want to kill me? How can you kill me in this state?!"

"If you die, it will only cause pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies! I won't be sad, I'll only be happy, happy!! The only ones who will suffer are you, that fool Tuoba Chen, and that idiot Dongfang Yao! Oh, and your daughter Gouwa too!"

"You don't want Gouwa to grow up without a mother, do you?"

"No, you can't die! You can't die, do you hear me! If you dare to die, I will make the whole world pay with your life!"

Tell me, what would it take for you to live?

...

Her voice was already hoarse, but Ke Rongyue remained unmoved.

He pressed his face against Rongyue's cheek in anguish, his expression forlorn and sorrowful: "Have you already resigned yourself to death?"

"Heh, no answer? No problem. But even if it means death, I won't let you leave my side!"

"Palace Master, something terrible has happened!" A servant rushed in from the doorway, panicked. "Palace Master, the lord of Qilin Manor and the emperor of Nancha Kingdom have each led their men to surround Blood Lotus Palace. The brothers are about to be overwhelmed! Please, Palace Master, make a decision quickly..."

Tuoba Jie's expression froze for a moment, then he muttered to himself, "They came quite quickly."

Gently pulling Rongyue into his arms, holding her possessively, Tuoba Jie stroked her silky black hair, his gaze tender yet filled with intense possessiveness: "They've come to rescue you. Are you happy? But your happiness is useless, because I will never let anyone take you away from me. No one, not even..."

The moment Tuoba Jie carried the lifeless Rongyue out, the relentless glint of the blade flashed in an instant, and the three men, who stood out among the crowd, seemed to have their breath taken away in a flash!

"The mistress!"

"daughter in law!"

"moon!"

The three cries were heart-wrenching, they made the heavens and earth lose their color, and they stirred up Tuoba Jie's murderous intent.
