Chapter 346
Before Nalan Jingwen could even react, she felt all her strength drain away, and her knees slumped heavily to the ground. A sharp pain shot through her knees, causing her to furrow her brow, though her eyes betrayed her shock.
She suddenly looked up, her sharp eyes piercing the two people on the city wall.
Blue fluff!
How could something like this appear here?!
Blue Floss Grass is their natural enemy; it grows in the Nine Nether Cold Domain. How could it appear here?!
Moreover, mortals cannot enter the Nine Nether Cold Domain, and demons would be easily defeated if they did; only those from the Divine Realm can resist it.
Only those in the Divine Realm know that the Blue Floss Grass can subdue them; how could Nalan Fengxing possibly know this? And how did he fall victim to it?!
Something flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered that Mirror Pool had also been rendered immobile by a group of men in black using Blue Floss Grass, leading to Rong Hengyu's abduction. At that time, she had no memory of it, so she hadn't investigated the Blue Floss Grass matter much. Now it seemed that if there wasn't a traitor in the Divine Realm, then it must be...
A familiar name came to mind.
deep.
Back then, Yuan turned nearly half of her subordinates against her. Even though she later led her men to destroy her stronghold and they died together, if Yuan were still alive, then those subordinates might very well be resurrected by her.
She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Ever since she was poisoned by the Blue Floss Grass in the Mirror Pool, she had been trapped in the snare set by Yuan. Perhaps it was when she first returned to Fengtian, or perhaps it was even longer, until today...
Her every move was being watched, making her look like a clown.
Nalan Fengxing and the other woman were very satisfied with the shock shown by Nalan Jingwen, and even a secret pleasure rose from the bottom of their hearts. The woman beside her stared at Nalan Jingwen below the city wall, her eyes filled with coldness, and her tone arrogant, "Jing, it's been a long time."
The tone was so familiar; only one person would call her that, as if it were engraved deep in Nalan Jingwen's soul, something she could never forget until her death.
"deep!!"
Yuan admired her current expression, and the anger that had been building up in his heart for a hundred years finally dissipated a little.
"I thought you'd forgotten me long ago, after all this time we haven't seen each other for a century."
"But even if you forget me, I will personally make you remember all the humiliation you brought me!!"
Although she awakened earlier than Nalan Jingwen, the great war a hundred years ago almost cut off all her chances of survival. For so many years, she has been barely surviving, repairing her soul and concealing her aura, afraid of attracting the people of the divine realm. She has been hiding in the darkness like a rat for so many years.
She had been planning for this moment for many years, and she wanted Nalan Jingwen to suffer all the pain she had endured!
Nalan Jingwen secretly activated his profound energy, but his dantian, which was originally full of profound energy, was now depleted, like a dry well without any vitality.
"Don't waste your energy. Don't you know the power of Blue Floss Grass better than I do?"
As if mocking her overestimation of her abilities, Yuan slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of black energy appeared at his fingertips, heading towards Nalan Jingwen. The next instant, she felt a splitting headache and fell to the ground in a sorry state. In no time, her whole body was soaked in sweat.
Nalan Jingwen gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, but he didn't let out a sound.
"How are you? Does it hurt?"
Seeing Nalan Jingwen's pained expression, Yuan asked her in a seemingly concerned manner.
But Nalan Jingwen just stared at her without saying a word.
"It shouldn't hurt, right? I was in much more pain than you were back then."
She tapped her fingertip again, and a white light flashed before Nalan Jingwen's eyes, followed by an even more intense pain that made her bend over and gasp for breath. But the next moment, she laughed.
"After a century, you've even learned those shady methods. Let me guess why? Perhaps your strength hasn't fully recovered?"
The smile on Yuan's lips faded slightly, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
"So what if it's something that can't be brought into the light? You still ended up in my hands, didn't you? I've been planning this for years, even cooperating with those idiots, all to lure you into my trap step by step. And now it seems, it's been very successful."
"Do you know what? I swore I would kill you!!"
Nalan Fengxing, who was standing to the side, twisted his face for a moment when he heard her words, but he was afraid of the other party's strength and did not dare to say a word.
"Yuan! If you really can kill me, you should do it now."
Given Yuan's hatred for her, if she could truly kill him, she wouldn't have said so much.
Even though he was hit where it hurt, Yuan wasn't angry. Anyway, the person was already in his hands, and killing Nalan Jingwen was only a matter of time.
"I don't like you calling me that. I prefer you to call me by my current name."
She paused for a moment, then said, word by word:
"Nangong Yu'an".
Nalan Jingwen's pupils contracted sharply, and her fingernails dug into her palms, but she felt no pain.
No wonder, why would a princess who had been living away from home suddenly appear, and even be able to easily overthrow Nangong Shiyu, even though Nangong Shiyu had Xue Qingheng by her side?
If that person is Yuan, then everything makes sense.
Yuan seemed unwilling to let Nalan Jingwen off the hook, and continued:
"Want to guess how this blue fluff grass got into your body?"
As Nalan Jingwen watched her unrestrained laughter, a bad premonition slowly rose in his heart. Soon, another person appeared on the city wall.
It was Rong Hengyu, who had disappeared long ago!
Rong Hengyu was still wearing yesterday's clothes, his face still noble and magnificent, but there was no expression in his eyes when he looked at her, as if she were a stranger.
This scene pierced Nalan Jing's heart; her eyes turned bloodshot as she stared intently at Rong Hengyu.
They were still passionately entwined last night, and there were even marks left by him on his exposed neck from the previous night.
But how could he...?
How could this be……
"The blue silk grass inside your body was given to you by your beloved husband."
Yuan's words confirmed Nalan Jingwen's suspicions. From beginning to end, only Rong Hengyu had the opportunity to give her the Blue Silk Grass, only he...
But how could he betray himself?!
"You betrayed me!!"
The sudden, unexpected heartache felt like a sharp object striking her heart. Every breath felt like a dagger, causing her unbearable pain that pierced her entire body, making her tremble uncontrollably.
"What betrayal? He's been mine from the very beginning."
Yuan laughed wildly, clearly enjoying Nalan Jingwen's current disheveled appearance.
"From the moment you met him to the moment you got married, everything was arranged in advance."
Nalan Jingwen felt dizzy, but she bit her tongue hard to force herself to stay awake. Unfamiliar images flooded her mind. She covered her head and bent over, gasping for breath.
She remembered...
Why did he suddenly volunteer to go on the expedition back then...?
She remembered everything...
