Chapter 144 - 124: Do I Need a Lifetime to Repay?
Perhaps it was because she was always bullied, or perhaps because she was always cautious, compromising, and obsequious, or maybe... because she feared getting pregnant with that vile man’s child.
Yin Tingxue had a very strange, very peculiar dream.
It seemed to be the continuation of a dream she once had. In her dream, she was dressed in black, wielding a three-foot sword, moving fluidly amidst flickering blades and swords.
In the dream, she seemed to be hunting someone down. Yin Tingxue felt as if she were personally experiencing everything in the dream, yet simultaneously witnessing it as an observer.
And then, she saw a familiar face.
Chen Yi, the man who had forced her into becoming a concubine. The way he looked at her was filled with near-absolute terror.
And soon, she had beaten that wretched man to his knees.
Seeing his terrified expression, Yin Tingxue felt an instinctive surge of satisfaction, inwardly cheering on the version of herself in the dream.
Serves you right for bullying me, for bullying me!
Ah, to think he was being beaten so thoroughly by her. Just the thought of it brought her immense joy. All those times he had strutted about in front of her, bullying her without a second thought, even wanting her to bear his child—now he was finally receiving his comeuppance.
But in the next moment, Yin Tingxue froze. She saw the gleam of the sword flash, watched as Chen Yi’s meridians were severed one by one, his body covered in blood, and the version of her within the dream... seemed to be savoring the cruelty of the act.
