Chapter 7

: Tang's 3 Heads, Simulation Ends

[You smiled. After making up, you kissed Qian Renxue for the first time.]

Qian Renxue mistakenly believes you really like these rare treasures, and starts giving you these things non-stop.

[You seemed very happy, and the two of you were inseparable again. Rumors of an affair between you two began to circulate secretly once more in Tiandou City.]

Xue Ke came to question you, asking if the rumors were true. You nodded, but Xue Ke still refused to believe it, thinking that it must have been the First Prince Xue Qinghe who forced you.

She swore she would save you!

You felt somewhat helpless, then turned around and saw Qian Renxue standing behind you, having witnessed the whole scene.

Her expression was now somber, completely devoid of her usual humility and warm demeanor.

Not long after, Xue Ke was arranged to marry a powerful nobleman. In the middle of the night, she came to you crying, but was sent back by the guards before she could even see you.

Another year passed, and you finally found a chance to escape. This time, you didn't linger on the mainland; you went straight out to sea for Poseidon Island.

At sixteen, you became a Soul Emperor of level sixty-two. You successfully passed the Sea within the Sea and obtained the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

[Poseidon's gaze towards you harbors a murderous intent; after all, if you live, she must sacrifice herself.]

[You begin your efforts to complete the divine test.]

[The sixth trial of Poseidon requires enduring Poseidon's attacks for the duration of an incense stick burning.]

[Knowing your own destiny and charm, you chose to take the risk and use your beauty to your advantage; you removed your mask...]

[Two extreme qualities coexist in opposition. Your eyes and brows possess an innate coldness and distance, like the bright moon in the sky, making people dare not approach. However, under the influence of your martial spirit, every move you make carries an allure. Your upturned fox eyes are captivating and mesmerizing, as decadent as spring flowers, yet not vulgar, but rather even more magnificent.]

Poseidon stared blankly at your approaching face, as if she had forgotten to think. Your hand gently caressed Poseidon's face; her body tensed, but she didn't resist. Instead, she leaned forward slightly, and your hand cupped her face.

The waves crashed against the rugged cliffs. You gazed at Poseidon's eyes, filled with both love and struggle, your expression calm and undisturbed, silently calculating the passage of time.

Suddenly, you withdrew your hand. As you put your mask back on, Poseidon gradually returned to normal, gave you a deep look, and then turned and left.

At twenty-three, you have finally reached the eighth trial of the Sea God. You need to collect all the soul bones and slay the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

You returned to the mainland under an assumed name, only to find that the current situation there was completely different from the original story.

[After you went to Seagod Island, Emperor Xue Ye died prematurely, and Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, ascended the throne as Emperor of Tian Dou, then launched a war against the Star Luo Empire. The situation is now completely chaotic.]

Fang Yuan: "..."

Good heavens, is this the power of the Beauty Gu Heart?

Has Qian Renxue abandoned his role as a wise prince?

Directly seize the throne and launch a war to unify the continent? That's quite a change!

You were somewhat surprised by Qian Renxue's change, but then became even more wary. You had a premonition of the twisted and controlling nature beneath Qian Renxue's calm exterior, and your sudden escape this time would likely drive her even more insane.

You abandoned your original plan to have the Spirit Hall protect you while you hunted for spirit rings and spirit bones, choosing instead to venture alone into the Star Dou Great Forest.

[The 100,000-year-old soul beasts in other places tend to group up, making them difficult to hunt. Even if they are successfully hunted, they come at a huge cost. Only the guards on the outer perimeter of the Lake of Life, Da Ming and Er Ming, are somewhat easier to bully.]

[If Xiao Wu were still here, that would be even better; you could use this rabbit to threaten those two ferocious beasts.]

You miscalculated...

Qian Renxue discovered your return and came to capture you. To be on the safe side, she even sought help from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

[Qian Daoliu initially knew that Qian Renxue's purpose was to refuse. He didn't understand why his granddaughter was so persistent with him, even becoming unlike herself. He wanted to correct Qian Renxue, but ended in failure.]

Finally, under Qian Renxue's threat of suicide, Qian Daoliu compromised and helped her capture you.

You were attacked and beaten; you were arrested.

Qian Renxue imprisoned you, and she smiled happily and contentedly.

She then produced another box, saying it was a gift to celebrate your reunion, but you weren't interested until the box was opened...

The contents inside were exposed.

It's a human head.

Even in death, his face was contorted with rage and resentment; you recognized that face—Tang San!

Fang Yuan fell silent this time: "..."

The villains didn't hold back, and the protagonist was instantly defeated?

Or beheading?

The Spirit Hall's overall combat strength is superior to other forces on the continent. If they don't hold back, they can kill the protagonist, especially since the protagonist is really weak in the early stages.

[The main character is already dead? No wonder I haven't heard anything about Tang San and Shrek Academy since I returned to the mainland.]

Qian Renxue explained with a smile, "It was my fault for not killing Tang San as you wished. Now I've come specifically to apologize, bringing Tang San's head with me."

【…】

You were speechless, only confirming that Qian Renxue had truly gone mad.

[And so, you were locked in that secret room you had seen before, and Qian Renxue would come in almost every day...]

Soon, inevitably, Qian Renxue became pregnant.

She started to restrain herself, recovered a little, and liked to touch her belly and ask you what you should name the baby?

[In the secluded chamber, where no sunlight shines, and you have no idea how much time has passed, suddenly one day, the door to the chamber opens. You don't look up; you remain lying on the bed, mithril chains fastened to your ankles, restricting your movement to the bed itself.]

A shadow stopped in front of you. You sensed something was wrong. It wasn't Qian Renxue. If it were, you would already be embraced, in a breathtakingly tight hug that felt like it was ingrained in your very bones.

You look up and see a familiar face again: long purple hair tied up, a scepter in her hand—Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and also Qian Renxue's biological mother.

Bibi Dong's gaze towards you was complex, a mixture of pity and a mother's hatred for her daughter.

Although Bibi Dong felt a sliver of pity for you because of our shared experience, she also hated you because you had disfigured her daughter.

Although she resisted Qian Renxue because Qian Renxue was Qian Xunji's child, Bibi Dong also knew that the former Qian Renxue was a well-behaved and adorable child who longed for maternal love.

Bibi Dong looked at your face, sighed, and then killed you.

[Your soul power was sealed by Qian Renxue, and you were unable to resist. Before you died, you seemed to hear Qian Renxue's desperate cry. You died...]
