"You... How do you feel now?" Yu Yue asked worriedly.
The fluctuation in her eyes was very weak. She slightly raised her head and looked at Yu Yue. Her lips moved slightly.
"Octo Neal, how is it?"
"Don't worry. He is already dead. We can return to Oracle Continent now. We'll return after you've rested. "
She revealed a relaxed expression when she heard Octo Neal's death, but she shook her head.
"You don't have to wait for me. I... can't go back."
Hearing her words, Yu Yue's heart sank. "No, we still have Spirit Wind God. Have you forgotten? He is the Contract Beast of the ten sages from a thousand years ago, there will always be a way..."
She interrupted Yu Yue's words.
"I know my own condition. The power of the curse is destroying my soul. My soul is now riddled with holes, there is no way to save me... You don't have to comfort me. I can see through it."
Just as Yue was about to say something else, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him with eyes that were dim but still as beautiful as a Morning Star. She said softly," I want to tell you a story. Are you willing to hear it? "
"You... tell me."
She smiled at Yu Yue. Although her smile was weak, it was still as beautiful as violet.
She slowly spoke...
It happened in a country.
There was a man who held a high position in the country.
For the sake of the country, this man could not recognize anyone, and he handled matters with extreme coldness. Because of this, his position in the country was very high.
Once, he was drunk, and when he returned home, it was already very late. He was drunk and collapsed in the courtyard at home.
When a maid at home saw this man, she sent him back to his room.
However, she didn't expect that the man wasn't completely drunk. There was still a trace of consciousness left, but it was blurry. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful maid. When the alcohol surged up, he immediately did that thing without any explanation.
After that, he didn't take it seriously. The days went by as usual, and the maid also hid this matter as a secret and continued to work at home.
However, a few months later, she unexpectedly discovered that after that night, she was actually pregnant.
Because of this, she felt uneasy. Finally, when her stomach grew bigger day by day and she finally could not hide it anymore, she told this man in an incomparably conflicted manner.
When the man knew about this, he didn't make a sound but protected her. Although he said that he was protecting her, he did not even let her take a step out. In fact, he was under house arrest.
When she gave birth, he would wait until she gave birth. On that day, she successfully gave birth to a healthy girl. After that day, the man took this woman as a concubine and arranged a place to stay in the mansion.
However, unlike other noble women, because her status was low, she was only 'rewarded' to the most remote corner of her courtyard. She didn't even have a maid to give birth to a child by herself. As for the man, he never came here again.
Not only that, but the food he gave was also very little. The two of them would often starve.
The daughter grew up day by day.
Although she was poor and out of tune with this luxurious courtyard, she and her daughter still lived happily.
Women were very kind. The most common thing they did every day was to teach their daughter to be kind and to treat this world with kindness. If that was the case, their lives would also be happy.
Her daughter also deeply believes in her and treats this as her way of doing things.
Although they lived a very poor life, their daughters looked at this world with naive eyes, wanting to embrace the world with kindness.
Because of the cold shoulder, even though their daughter's status was noble in the residence, she was not like the other children of men. She had an erudite teacher who taught all kinds of things, such as music, chess, painting and so on.
Without a teacher or even a book, her daughter didn't feel sad. This was because she was interested in another matter.
She liked to practice martial arts. Every day, she would secretly study martial arts outside the residence's military training grounds, and she was very happy to learn it. She also met a guard who saw her secretly learning martial arts and was willing to teach her martial arts.
At that time, she had displayed a lot of talent. When she was very young, she had been able to defeat the soldier who kindly taught her martial arts through sword arts.
Her daughter was filled with fantasies about the future. She wanted to be like what her mother had said, when she grew up, she would use her own martial techniques to repay the world and help even more people.
However, misfortune happened.
Her daughter's mother had an illness. This illness was not serious. It could even be said to be a small illness. As long as there was enough medicine, it would definitely be cured.
However, when she was sick, no one asked about it, let alone paying for the medicine.
Her daughter went around begging for medicine for her mother, hoping that someone would be willing to buy medicine for her. However, no one was willing to pay. Even the guard who taught her martial arts was fired because he was too close to her daughter.
Her daughter had no choice but to think of stealing money to buy medicine, but her mother stopped her.
She said that people should be kind and should not do bad things. She told her daughter to be at ease and she would definitely get better.
But...
Her mother died.
Because no one was willing to pay, not even giving enough food, mother died of illness just like that.
After her mother died, a few guards who seemed to have been waiting for a long time appeared, took her mother's corpse away, and buried it hastily.
No one attended the funeral that day. It rained heavily on her mother's simple gravestone.
At this moment, her daughter's world twisted. She no longer believed in kindness and did what her mother stopped her from doing - she stole the most precious thing in the man's treasure vault and escaped home.
From then on, she started to steal for a living, as if to take revenge on the world, she fell into darkness...
Yu Yue listened to her weak voice's narration, and his face fell silent. He naturally knew who the main character of this story was, and also knew why she was telling this story now.

At this point, the story came to an abrupt stop. She smiled at Yu Yue.
"I believe you know who the character of the story is. I only know why I showed such intense hatred when I met you and you told me that you wanted to protect everyone in Blood Red Castle. That's right, I hate all hypocrites... "
She shook her head: "But, I was wrong. I didn't expect you to be such a fool. You really want to sacrifice your life to protect the people of Blood Red Castle, not hypocrites."
Yu Yue wanted to say something, but she raised her finger and pressed it against Yu Yue's lips.
"Let me continue... After that time, I became very curious about you. In my many years of life, I have seen all kinds of people. There are hypocrites, true evil people, and even more ordinary people... but I have never seen a real fool like you. "
She slightly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes reflected Yu Yue's face.
Her smile was as bright as a flower.
"I... really like you."
