Chapter 1530: I Owe You a Life
In that fleeting moment.
The weather at the South Heavenly Gate was undeniably clear.
But Feng Fuce felt as though a bolt of thunder struck straight into his heart full of love.
Tearing apart his devotion, his deep affection, and all his persistence, creating fissures.
The cracking heart seemed to be bleeding.
And this feeling, he hadn’t felt in thousands of years.
Till today, he finally realized,
This is called pain.
He stared blankly at Bai Zhi’er, the faith and love in his eyes crumbling into a chaotic black sea.
"Thank me with your body?" Feng Fuce gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot: "What do you take yourself for? What do you take us for?"
Bai Zhi’er lowered her head but said nothing.
Feng Fuce took a deep breath: "You were speaking in anger, right? Just say now that what you said earlier were angry words, and I’ll still forgive you."
The immortals and demons around looked on in confusion.
They couldn’t hear the specifics but watching the expressions of the Heavenly Dao and Demon Lord, it didn’t seem happy at all.
Lu Wang, hiding nearby with A ruo on his back, also furrowed his brow in doubt.

"A ruo, look, why do I feel Lord Demon seems like he’s about to cry?"
Wasn’t this supposed to be a proposal?
Why does it feel like the two didn’t agree?
Bai Zhi’er remained silent for a long time before finally summoning all her strength to raise her head and say to Feng Fuce: "Everything I said is true. What I’ve given you, I won’t give to anyone else. However, I cannot stay with you. All I can do for you is only this much."
Feng Fuce seemed frozen in place.
This time, his eyes truly welled with tears, yet Bai Zhi’er’s eyes were also filled with tears.
The effect of the marriage knot, it’s unknown who among them cried first.
Feng Fuce first laughed self-mockingly, stepping back step by step, before suddenly stopping, a long sword burning with fierce flames appearing in his hand, directly pointed at Bai Zhi’er’s heart!
Almost simultaneously, above the Demon Lord he led, lightning flashed and thunder roared, black clouds pressing down!
"Your Majesty!" "How dare you!" The gods immediately rushed forward.
The two armies, originally jubilant, suddenly faced off, each fierce, showing vigilant expressions!
Bai Zhi’er raised her hand, her voice hoarse: "Don’t come over."
Feng Fuce’s sword edge halted two inches before her heart.
His eyes bloodshot, tears coldly looking to her.
Feng Fuce had never wielded a weapon against her, showing he was heartbroken to the extreme.
"Kill me, I originally owe you a life." Bai Zhi’er said, stepping closer to the blade.
She was clearly crying, yet her voice made a conscious effort to remain calm.
Feng Fuce asked with a bitter smile: "I finally understand now, at Caiyun Mountain, why you were so enthusiastic, turns out, it was out of pity for me?"
"Bai Zhi’er, there was a moment I really wanted to kill you, take your remains back, so you’d forever be mine."
As he spoke, the sword edge in his hand transformed into specks of red light, gradually dissipating.
Feng Fuce stood there in embarrassment, he didn’t cry, yet his face was covered in tears.
He sneered, saying—
"You are truly impressive, you gambled correctly all along, back then betting I would help you grow, today betting I couldn’t bear to kill you."
"Before coming to the South Heavenly Gate, I suddenly felt immense pain, thinking you were hurt."
"Now thinking, was it you instructing the gods to help you remove the marriage knot?"
"I knew long ago how to untie it, but I didn’t want to, because in my eyes, what could bind us together was never a shackle, rather, it was the best Divine Technique."
"But now I finally understand, your heart is cold, people often say demons are cold-blooded, yet you are evidently far more heartless than me."
"This time, I’ve lost."
