At the moment when the pen finished, her state of mind suddenly became turbulent.
Distracted, Li Piaoqing found herself standing in the side hall of Cui Yu once more, gritting her teeth and clutching the bloody blade at her chest; distracted again, she was back in front of the painting, coldly watching the girl in front of her who seemed to be suffocating.
Such scenes had recurred countless times, the two states of mind wrestling with each other. Finally, it was Li Piaoqing who first completely broke through her heart refinement. She gritted her teeth and hissed as she pulled the blade from her chest. The images of Shen Yao and Yi Chengxin in front of her kept switching, and Li Piaoqing desperately plunged it into her throat.
After nailing her to the wall, under the dripping blood, that face finally settled into the likeness of Yi Chengxin.
Her state of mind was thereby extinguished, and the fourth Heart Candle burned steadily in her chest.
