Qing TIan Lin just stood there, staring at her as his eyes gradually came to be stained with a blood red tint. A good long while passed before he then threw his head back to laugh maniacally, laughter that seemed to be filled with boundless sadness.

This man had always been a hypocrite, evil and arrogant. But at that moment, he looked like a pitiful worm that yearned for some love and affection.

“Cold hearted you say.....”

“Hahaha..... Have I made a mistake? Right from the beginning, I shouldn’t have been merciful and spared a thought for you at all. But.....”

He lifted his bloodshot eyes slowly, and said as he looked straight at her: “Qing Qing, I really love you..... Why would you rather smile at that animal who is half man half beast, and treat him so tenderly but never wanted to even look at me at all.....”

“Do you even know what love is?”

A corner of Qing Yu’s lips stiffened as she looked at him coldly. “Your idea of love, is to hold me prisoner by your side like a mindless plaything, any the instant that I show the slightest bit of resistance against you, you’ll take the lives of the people closest to me hostage, using them to trample upon my pride and dignity.”

“No. That is not my intention. It’s you. Why do you detest me so much? Why is there never love and reliance in those eyes that you look at me with? All of them deserve to die! Your smile, your gaze, they all clearly belong to me.....”

“From the day that you kept me imprisoned, I was no longer able to see anything anymore.”

Qing Yu spat out those scathing words, to interrupt his raving rant.

In that instant, Qing Tian Lin’s expression froze, like he didn’t know how to react to that for a moment.

A few steps away, Qing Ye Li had subconsciously clenched up his fists.

He knew.

He knew everything.

Even though Qing Yu had never said anything about it throughout it all.

Her eyes are so captivating and beautifully bright. But.....

“What do you mean? Why can’t you..... see anything?” There was a slight tremble in Qing Tian Lin’s voice.

Hearing that, Qing Yu scoffed disdainfully and shot him a glance to say: “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how you kept me imprisoned, to make me become subservient to you?”

Qing Tian Lin’s irises constricted violently.

Of course he had not forgotten that.

He had used his puppetry technique. Otherwise, with her level of cultivation back then, he wouldn’t have been able to capture her so easily.

He could still remember. Although he had used puppetry back then, the process had still not been easy at all.

She had clearly resisted. Could it be.....

Qing Tian Lin’s expression suddenly turned to one of shock, seeming to remember something. Could that have been the price she paid for forcibly breaking out of his puppetry technique back then! ?
