She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 366 - 365: So, Do You Want To?

Watching her own brother’s family, she felt they would infuriate her until she bled internally.

Wu Zhen simply couldn’t do such a thing.

"Cui Zhi," she said, holding her forehead with one hand, "What’s happening to me? I feel so dizzy."

Cui Zhi hurried forward to support Wu Zhen: "Lady, let this servant help you rest."

Wu Zhen stood up weakly, just about to leave, when the thoughtless aunt spoke up: "Wu Bie, quickly pour a cup of tea for your auntie to take the edge off, it must be because the weather’s too hot."

Wu Bie obediently poured the tea and brought it in front of Wu Zhen.

Just as she was about to take it and drink, the aunt spoke again: "With the weather being so hot, let’s not hold up your auntie’s time any longer. Take this cup of tea as if you were paying respects to a godmother. Wu Bie, kneel down and call out ’godmother’."

Without a word, Wu Bie knelt down, looking up at Wu Zhen: "Godmother, please drink the tea."

Wu Zhen: "..." If the cup contained hot tea, she certainly would have thrown it without hesitation!

This was simply too shameless!

But this was a cup of cold tea, which if thrown, would only make the situation worse.

Wu Zhen, suppressing her indignation, sipped the tea lightly and said, "You are thoughtful."

Then Cui Zhi quickly took her away.

Had she not left, Wu Zhen felt she might have died of anger right there.

Watching the servant and her lady leave in such a sorry state, Wu Bie slowly got up from the ground, eyes brimming with laughter.

"Let’s sit down and eat. The cooking in the Marquis Residence is really something else. Even a simple dish of vegetables is bursting with flavor. Wu Bie, stop standing there like a fool. Bring Girl Hong Wu over and sit down to eat," the aunt called out.

Hong Wu, reining in the hate that gnawed at her very bones, forced a light smile: "Auntie, you are too kind."

"What’s there to be polite about? In the future, we’ll be one family," the aunt said, chuckling.

Wu Yuan also nodded and added, "Your auntie is right, we’ll be one family from now on. Our Wu Family doesn’t have so many rules."

Hong Wu sat down, and the aunt eagerly put food into her bowl. She smiled modestly, nodding her head in a supple manner, but no one could see the storm brewing in the depths of her eyes.

Piji’s corpse had been hung at the city gates by the Chen Family for three days and nights, his death was a ghastly sight, his body without a single piece of flesh intact.

Hong Wu had only managed to retrieve his cremated remains cleanly yesterday.

The Radiant Church had launched a surprise attack on Stormy Building, and she had barely escaped with her life. Many of her brothers and sisters were dead or wounded; the assault had been a devastating blow for Stormy Building.

But no matter, she had already called in more elites from the Capital City.

"Here, eat," Wu Bie said softly into her ear.

Hong Wu curved her red lips, smiling softly and tenderly: "Thank you."

Of course, she needed to eat more, to strengthen her body. Otherwise, how would she avenge Piji and all her fallen brothers and sisters?

The Northern Border, ah... she would not let any of the principal culprits escape her vengeance.

Wu Bie sat beside Hong Wu, serving her a bowl of chicken soup and considerately brought over a spoon.

While his expression was kind, his heart was filled with raging waves.

He had seen it all that day.

Among the crowd that had driven the Commandery Princess and Huai Yu to death, there had been his father’s men.

Huai Yu... our Wu Family owes you, and I will get your revenge for you, rest assured.

The meal went by peacefully with laughter and jovial conversation, but Wu Yuan and the aunt were unaware that the pair of young people sitting with them had returned from hell to seek revenge on the entire Northern Border.

After the meal, the aunt even had Wu Bie pick out a special courtyard for Hong Wu.

"Why choose this place?" Wu Bie asked with a slight frown, noting the small size of the courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard, Hong Wu felt as if she were back to the days of sitting with Piji on tree branches, drinking and eating meat. Who would have thought that upon her return, everything would be so changed?

"Habit," Hong Wu replied coldly.

In front of others, she could smile gently like water, but behind closed doors, Hong Wu reverted to her icy beauty persona.

Wu Bie sighed, unsure of what to say, "Rest early. Now that you have moved in, Wu Zhen will surely keep a closer watch on you. Be very careful."

"Hmm." She nodded and then sat down on a stone bench by herself.

Seeing this, Wu Bie turned to leave but then heard Hong Wu suddenly speak up, "Wu Bie, if you regret it, you can still back out now."

"Regret?" Wu Bie furrowed his brows, turned around, and a trace of anger flickered across his bewitchingly handsome face, as if he felt disdained by Hong Wu, "What do you mean, why should I have any regrets?"

Hong Wu stared at him without blinking, "After all, those are your father and biological mother." Human hearts are truly elusive.

At the moment, overwhelmed by his anger over losing Huai Yu, Wu Bie had chosen revenge, but when he was confronted with the imminent danger to his parents’ lives, he might fall back into torment.

"You have already brought me into the residence; your task is completed, and the master said you could choose to leave—"

"Is that how Yan Wanqing thinks of me?!" Wu Bie interrupted Hong Wu, his face turning cold, "Huai Yu died so miserably, yet everyone at the Northern Border is reveling in the anticipation of acquiring gold mines. Under such circumstances, how do you expect me to back out? Or, in your eyes, am I, Wu Bie, so weak and useless that I lack the resolve to avenge my childhood friend?"

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned bloodshot with hatred, and Wu Bie was completely consumed by his rage.

Hong Wu remained seated on the stone bench, staring blankly through the summer evening breeze; after an indiscernible amount of time, she finally spoke softly, "If you become soft-hearted later on, I will kill you myself."

Wu Bie knew this was permission for him to stay, but the anger from just being questioned still hadn’t subsided, "As you wish."

After saying so, he left without looking back.

Hong Wu was left to feel the heatwave through the air, blending into the night as one. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The master had said to let these people lose everything after their revelries, to let them be consumed by revenge in both body and mind, to be worthy of the one who died in the downpour that night.

...

The bamboo leaves rustled outside the window.

Yan Wanqing let her black hair cascade down, standing by the window in a daze.

A pair of strong hands came from behind her, enveloping her in an embrace.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Pingfeng asked gently.

Yan Wanqing leaned into his embrace, sighing like a kitten, "Just day-dreaming, not thinking of anything specific."

For the past half-month, everyone had come to a complete standstill to recuperate, but though it seemed peaceful, not a single person had truly moved on from that night.

"Hong Wu has sent a message; she has successfully infiltrated the residence," Xiao Pingfeng said.

Yan Wanqing didn’t make a sound.

Seeing her silence, Xiao Pingfeng also remained quiet, their lingering breaths entwining within the room.

The faint fragrance from her hair made him swallow, despite trying not to.

Yet, such a subtle movement was still caught by Yan Wanqing.

She chuckled softly.

"What’s funny?" The Crown Prince felt the embarrassment of being caught off guard.

Yan Wanqing, touching the veins on the back of his hand, spoke frankly, "I just realized that I’ve been neglecting you recently."

With that remark, she distinctly felt the breathing on her neck grow heavier.

"... After all you’ve been through, I’m not a beast," the Crown Prince thought he was quite a decent man, quite caring of his wife.

Yan Wanqing knew he had been enduring greatly; from the moment he began holding her, there had been something pressing against her, making it hard to ignore.

Her face bloomed like a peach blossom, "... Do you want to?"

Want to! Of course, he wanted to, he was practically going insane with desire!
