Chapter 422: An Buyu and Wang Haoran

“You should have seen it by now.”

“My relationship with Senior Sister is very good.”

“So, I know all about your ‘Wicked Women Society’ and those weird plans.”

Because they were really strange, he was too embarrassed to recount them.

Although Lin Xixue said that all these bizarre ideas were proposed by An Buyu.

But recalling his senior sister’s somewhat guilty look, Wang Haoran felt… An Buyu might have been wrongfully blamed.

“Hmph, I’ll have to ‘interrogate’ Senior Sister properly tonight!”

But for now, he had to get to the main point.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the second peak.

Seeing An Buyu with her head down, silent, and lost in thought.

He felt that continuing to cooperate with Li Yuan’s “plot” and dragging her into it was inappropriate.

So Wang Haoran laid it all out:

“Even the matter of you asking Senior Sister to gather information on Li Yuan.”

“Although I don’t know what you intend to do, but…”

Pausing, Wang Haoran tapped the stone table with his fingers and began to speak slowly.

“You’ve seen it too, Li Yuan has been persistently bothering Senior Sister, trying to take her away from me.”

“And because of Senior Sister, he harbors a grudge against me and constantly causes trouble.”

“If this continues, we will inevitably become enemies, and… it will be a life-and-death struggle.”

Wang Haoran wasn’t lying.

After all, according to the “original plot” in Li Yuan’s inner voice, this was exactly how it played out! He was forced to fight back!

Then he and Lin Xixue, “husband and wife united,” one severely injuring Li Yuan, and the other personally stabbing him to death with a sword!

“Although you might think I’m too arrogant… I still have to tell you, Li Yuan is courting death.”

“I won’t let him go.”

“So… you’d better not get involved with him.”

“Better stay away from him.”

“After all…”

“He’ll always be a lapdog for my Senior Sister, you…”

You have no chance.

Although An Buyu always denied it, her behavior made it clear to Wang Haoran that she remembered everything from before.

So, he felt An Buyu should know he was serious—

“This time… I don’t want to fight you again.”

Wang Haoran finished speaking.

“…………”

An Buyu was silent for a long time before she barely nodded and softly replied.

“Mm… I understand…”

At this moment, her head was so low that her face was hidden, and her voice trembled.

Then.

She suddenly raised her left hand and grabbed Wang Haoran’s sleeve.

She pinched it with her thumb and forefinger, but with great force.

Her nervous and shy demeanor was evident.

She began to speak in a small voice, saying “strange” things—

“Recently, I defeated the former Holy Maiden and reclaimed my position as the Holy Maiden of Nine Nether.”

Of course, An Buyu didn’t say that her purpose was to gain the power of the Holy Maiden.

Then she could obtain many cultivation resources… and instruct people from Nine Nether Holy Land to keep an eye on Wang Haoran.

“Before that, I had already given up the position of Holy Maiden and went out to train as an ordinary disciple.”

“…I… had no intention of hiding anything.”

“As for Li Yuan… we only knew each other because we were both the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of our respective lands.”

“Just acquaintances… I have no relationship with him.”

“Nor do I think he’s… better…”

“Really, I don’t…”

“……” Wang Haoran also knew An Buyu’s last sentence referred to their time together in the first life.

“…Is that so…”

But honestly, he didn’t care much.

In fact, it wasn’t until he heard An Buyu’s name in Li Yuan’s inner voice that he realized.

The “excellent and devoted Holy Son of Piao Miao Holy Land” An Buyu mentioned before was actually Li Yuan!

However, if you think about it, An Buyu wasn’t wrong.

Li Yuan being chosen as the Holy Son of the Holy Land was indeed “excellent,” and his devotion to Lin Xixue was “deep.”

Without the “lapdog for Lin Xixue” part, he was quite popular among women.

At this moment.

Hearing An Buyu indirectly acknowledge she remembered the past, Wang Haoran responded—

“I understand.”

He could tell An Buyu wasn’t lying.

After he finished speaking.

An Buyu’s fingers, which had been tightly gripping his sleeve, finally loosened.

Then she stood up, “…Goodbye…”

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, but Wang Haoran, with his keen hearing, detected the joy in it.

“…Goodbye.”

Then, An Buyu fled in panic.

……

Until she returned to the guest peak.

In her room.

“Haoran…”

Sitting in front of the mirror, she used the hand Wang Haoran had held.

She heavily stroked her cheek, neck, and then continued downward…

Recalling the touch of Wang Haoran.

“Ufufu… Ahn~ My Dear, My Love, My Everything”

“Haoran… Haoran… Please ravish me…, make me yours”

Both joyful and ashamed.

And then angry—

Angry at her own cowardice and inferiority.

At this moment, looking at her own eyes in the mirror, her other hand couldn’t help but forcefully stroke her red lips.

It was here.

In the past, when they were together, Wang Haoran would look into her eyes.

“Buyu, your eyes are really beautiful.”

Then he would hold her face and kiss her.

A brief, yet real kiss.

While feeling the wonderful sensation, her heart was completely captured, no longer her own.

She couldn’t help but want to give everything to him, to be together forever—

But.

Looking at her hideous face, and her lover’s handsome face that was popular with women.

Afraid of losing Wang Haoran, she did some foolish things in her wild thoughts—

Although she hadn’t heard of “Pick-up Artist,” she instinctively did similar things.

She started to fabricate stories like “I’m actually very popular with men!”

Later, she even told Wang Haoran about the “excellent and devoted Holy Son of Piao Miao Holy Land,” saying, “If I were the Holy Maiden of Piao Miao Holy Land, I would definitely accept him!”

She often said such things.

Wanting to create a sense of crisis in Wang Haoran’s heart, making him more attached to her, and then… possess her.

“To make Haoran always think of me… hehe…”

While “cleverly scheming,” she eagerly anticipated.

However.

She didn’t expect Wang Haoran to be completely unaffected.

He left a letter and ran away.

When she saw the letter.

Panicked, she rushed out to find him.

But he was already gone—

And so, in the second life, she forgot everything.

But Wang Haoran didn’t.

So, this time, he chose Ning Xueluo.

He didn’t want her anymore.

And feeling that Wang Haoran “liked new and beautiful things,” preferring beautiful women, she, who was just a tool in his eyes.

Began to harbor resentment.

But even so, she couldn’t bring herself to hurt him.

So, she went to find Ning Xueluo, wanting to disfigure her too.

To take revenge on Wang Haoran.

Because of her stubbornness, she became obsessed with this goal, and eventually, Wang Haoran killed her.

—And this repeated many times.

“Haoran… I’m sorry…”

In the closed room, An Buyu murmured softly.
