The moonlight was pristine, casting its glow across Chenyin Valley.
A man and a woman stood facing each other.
The golden-haired beauty glared with her purple pupils, her face flushed with shame, as if enduring an immense disgrace.
Her arms wrapped around her chest, clutching her vitals tightly.
Her smooth back, as flawless as suet, even reflected the moonlight, and her damaged, glittering skirt clung to her creamy thighs like fishnet stockings.
One of her jade feet was already bereft of its golden boot, bare.
Qian Renxue's disheveled appearance blended with her holy and noble aura, exuding a different kind of charm, very much like a princess in distress.
The woman's delicate body trembled, and her red lips parted to ask, "You... you want to divorce me?"
Luo Yu said speechlessly, "If I really married you, wouldn't I be constantly in fear for my life? Who knows when you might stab me in the back? If I don't divorce you, am I supposed to keep you around for the New Year?"
Qian Renxue's upper and lower lips trembled.
"You want to divorce me??"
Luo Yu waved his hand, "Don't make it sound like I'm some heartless villain."
"People who don't know might think I did something terrible to you."
"Just go, just go!"
Luo Yu's disdainful look deeply wounded Qian Renxue's heart.
From childhood, she was always adored wherever she went, a focus of countless gazes.
Even when she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire, she was second to none but above tens of thousands.
When had she ever suffered such indignity!
Did this man look down on her?
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and coldly huffed, "I won't go. What gives you the right to divorce me!!"
Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands, "Sister, apart from being a bit pretty and a bit shapely, are you gentle? Can you support and educate your husband and children?"
"Am I supposed to take you home to be the pampered young lady of the house?"
Qian Renxue's silver teeth gnashed noisily.
Every word Luo Yu said was like a knife cutting into her heart.
No one had ever dared to scold her like that from her childhood to this day!
"Do you dare to say I'm a useless vase?"
Luo Yu chuckled and said, "It's not me who's labeling you, so what are your special talents? Introduce yourself."
Qian Renxue retorted angrily, "I have Innate Level Twenty Full Soul Power and even possess a God-level Martial Soul. Isn't my strength formidable?"
Luo Yu clapped his hands, giving her a top-to-bottom look.
Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed lightly, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Do you think you're strong?"
"If you were really that strong, I'd probably be kneeling on the ground singing 'Conquer' right now."
Qian Renxue was momentarily at a loss for words, all her rebuttals stuck in her throat, unsaid.
In her world, it was a matter of winner takes all; the loser has no excuses.
Against anyone, she had the pride to be arrogant.
But the man in front of her had just shattered her pride and self-respect, sword strike after sword strike.
She couldn't imagine when such a terrifying genius had appeared in the world.
Or which major power's favored son had emerged.
Luo Yu waved his hand.
"Alright, you better go now. Can you just do that for me?"
"Why are you still hanging around here if you don't leave quickly?"
"You were so eager to slip away just now, and now that I'm letting you go, you won't leave?"
Qian Renxue stood on the spot, unmoving, her purple eyes staring intently at Luo Yu.
Blood threads seeped out from her tightly bitten, lushly red lips.
She couldn't accept it; she truly couldn't.
With her pride, how could she allow others to disdain and look down upon her.
Yet, she didn't know what to say.
"I'm telling you to leave, but you're not going," Luo Yu said oddly. "Do you have masochistic tendencies or something?"
Qian Renxue's delicate frame shivered, standing there without uttering a word.
Luo Yu shook his head.
"Fine, if you won't leave, I will!"
Just as Luo Yu turned, a cold and indignant female voice wafted from behind.
"You stay right there."
"Beauty, what are you doing? Is it because I asked you to call me 'husband' that you've become glued to me?" Luo Yu said helplessly.
"Kill me then,"
Qian Renxue lifted her snow-white, swan-like neck as golden hair cascaded down.
Her lips were smeared with deep red blood, a sorrowful beauty that was indescribable.
Luo Yu dusted off the dirt from his clothes and smiled, "You haven't caused me any harm. At most, I'll go back and wash my clothes. Why would I kill you?"
"You!!!"
Qian Renxue nearly fainted from anger, Luo Yu's words had breached her defenses.
So fighting for so long just resulted in dust on your clothes?
Is this an implied contempt for my weak strength?
Qian Renxue's tone was cold and resolute, "If you don't kill me today, I will definitely kill you in the future!"
Luo Yu, speechless, said, "Must you be so vicious? After all, we were husband and wife for a few seconds."
"I never agreed to divorce you. Until I have killed you, I will always remember the humiliation of being a thief's wife."
Qian Renxue spoke with an icy tone, cuttingly decisive.
"A thief's wife??" Luo Yu said, "You insisted on being my wife, and now you're calling me a thief?"
Qian Renxue's trembling body came to a standstill, her purple pupils filled with determination.
"You are not worthy of divorcing me!"
"Only I, Qian Renxue, will divorce you!"
"You wait and see, I will definitely cleanse the humiliation you brought me today."
Luo Yu said, "By knocking me down and then having me call you 'wife' while shirtless?"
"You bastard!!" Qian Renxue's face was completely flushed, whether from anger or shyness, it was hard to tell.
Luo Yu asked, "What if you come back for revenge and lose again?"
"Impossible, I will never lose!" Qian Renxue said.
Luo Yu sighed, "Give up, you're not good enough."
A gentle breeze blew, making Qian Renxue's golden hair flutter, enchantingly beautiful.
"Do not underestimate me. Years of carrying out missions have made me neglect my training, otherwise I could have been stronger and you definitely wouldn't have had the chance to defeat me today."
Luo Yu asked with a smile, "How much effort do you think I put into fighting you today?"
Qian Renxue said somberly, "You already used your strongest soul skill, weren't you going all out?"
"I believe you know nothing about true strength."
Luo Yu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, speaking calmly.
"Enemies defeated by my hand, even if given time, will never have a chance to turn the tables."
"The next time we meet, what you will see is the vast chasm between our strengths."
Listening to Luo Yu's indifferent tone, Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly.
With her pride, she should have contradicted him.
But she faintly sensed an absolute confidence emanating from him.
It was as if her strength had never been considered significant by him from the very beginning.
Luo Yu shifted his gaze back from the sky, his deep black eyes indifferently meeting Qian Renxue's.
"Alright, you can go."
In that moment, Qian Renxue's purple pupils were somewhat dazed.
For the first time in her life, she had encountered such a formidable man.
For the first time, she was defeated by a man.
For the first time, she couldn't help but be curious about a man.
For the first time, she felt such strong hatred towards a man.
And also for the first time, she couldn't help but feel her heart stir at the thought of a man.
Flooded with emotions, her thoughts in turmoil.
Qian Renxue's heart was in chaos as she gazed deeply at Luo Yu without a word.
Seconds later, she walked away into the distance.
Luo Yu called out, "Qian Renxue!"
"Hmm?" Qian Renxue halted her steps and turned around.
Luo Yu said, "Let's forget about today."
"You're still far from being worthy of being my woman."
Qian Renxue's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not up to you to decide if I'm worthy. Wait until I come to take your dog life!"
"And, are you really not afraid I'll return with an empire's might to crush you by letting me go?"
Luo Yu yawned indifferently and waved his hand casually.
"I'm invincible, do as you wish."
