Qiu Ruoxi had never seen Ye Xunhuan like this before, not even when she was taken hostage. Ye Xunhuan had never been this way.
Of course, the time he lost control at the Xiahous was pushed by others, caused by combat. But now Ye Xunhuan hadn’t fought anybody, how could he become like this?
Was it because of the person buried in the grave in front of him?
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t know!
Although Qiu Ruoxi was indeed married to Ye Xunhuan, her knowledge of Ye Xunhuan’s past was limited to his identity as an underground world overlord, completely blank concerning Ye Xunhuan’s mentor and brothers.
Qiu Ruoxi slowly walked to Ye Xunhuan’s side, then, not minding the dirt on the ground, she sat down directly next to him.
Just when Qiu Ruoxi was about to sit and keep Ye Xunhuan company, Ye Xunhuan suddenly said, "Kneel!"
Qiu Ruoxi was stunned, looking at Ye Xunhuan with some confusion.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s determined gaze, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t ask further questions and obediently knelt before the grave.
After Qiu Ruoxi knelt down, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath: "Master, her name is Ruoxi, my wife, she came to see you today!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan poured the wine from his hand in front of the grave.
"What do you think? My mom’s taste isn’t bad, right? She found me such a good wife!" Ye Xunhuan’s mouth curled into a bitter smile: "Now you don’t have to worry about me finding a wife in the future, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi immediately understood why Ye Xunhuan had her kneel here.
Because the person buried in this grave was his master, his teaching mentor!
After speaking, Ye Xunhuan fell into silence and took a headlong sip of wine.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say because she didn’t know anything about Ye Xunhuan and his master.
After a long silence, Ye Xunhuan let out a breath and said, "Master, it has been years, but I still haven’t killed all those who caused your death. You and the brothers must resent me, right?"
"You must think I’m useless, right?" Ye Xunhuan smiled bitterly: "Yes, I also think I’m useless. I thought I was impressive, thought I was strong!"
"But who the hell knows, this freaking life is like playing a game leveling up, the more badass you get, the stronger the monsters become!"
"Master, you might say it’s because I’m not strong enough, and Leng Dao and Dao Feng would certainly also think I’m wimping out, making excuses for myself, right?"
"But I’m not freaking making excuses, I’m not making excuses!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly transformed, becoming sharp: "The King is too strong, I just can’t freaking kill him!"
"I dream of killing him, not just for you, but also for my parents, and for myself, but I can’t kill him!"
"Why the hell did you all fight desperately to save my life, why let me survive?" Ye Xunhuan bellowed: "Do you know how exhausted I am, how exhausted!"
"Yes, you see me marry a wife, you must be envious, especially since my wife is so beautiful. But I just wish if one of you were that person, then I’d be relieved, free!"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to have become a different person, without the usual laughter and swagger.
Now, Ye Xunhuan seemed like a child, a lost and helpless child.
Qiu Ruoxi remained quiet, quietly observing Ye Xunhuan.
She had always known that Ye Xunhuan carried many burdens, each of them heavy, even weighing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
But he always kept it all hidden within, never sharing his troubles with anyone, bearing all the pain and difficulty alone.
Now, he needed to vent, really needed to vent.
Otherwise, he would truly be driven to madness!
"Especially that bastard Tiger Fang, when I ordered you to take a bullet for me, did you? Did you?" Ye Xunhuan yelled: "If you hadn’t blocked it, you’d still be alive!"
"You also told me to burn beautiful women and sports cars for you, burn you to hell!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan suddenly stood up, throwing the wine bottle in his hand directly to the ground!
"Master, do you know who I hate most? It’s you, it’s you!" Ye Xunhuan pointed his finger angrily at the front, shouting: "It’s all your fault, you gave that damn order, making them sacrifice themselves to protect me, letting me live!"
"Do you know what it’s like to watch you and my brothers die one by one before me, what that feels like?"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan patted his chest: "It’s cruel, like countless steel knives stabbing repeatedly into my heart!"
"Now you’re quiet and comfortable, but what about me?"
"How much do I have to bear every day?" Ye Xunhuan said heavily: "Every day when I open my eyes, it’s conspiracies, one strong enemy after another!"
"I’m exhausting myself every day, squeezing myself dry..."
With that, Ye Xunhuan’s legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, burying his head in the earth!
"Master, I miss you, I really miss you, and Tiger Fang and the others, I really miss them..."
Seeing Ye Xunhuan in such a manic state, Qiu Ruoxi’s face immediately showed a trace of heartache. She slowly stood up and walked over to Ye Xunhuan, hugging him: "Xunhuan, it’s all over now, it’s okay, your master and they can certainly understand you..."
Although Ye Xunhuan had been shouting and cursing at his master and brothers earlier, Qiu Ruoxi knew it was just one way for a man to express himself.
Now he had cursed them, finally becoming his original self again.
"You don’t know, you have no idea what it feels like to watch your brothers die in front of you, what that feels like..."
Qiu Ruoxi indeed didn’t know and never tried to, but that kind of pain must be worse than death.
"Xunhuan, if they saw you like this, they’d certainly scold you, and definitely feel they saved the wrong person..."
"That’s right!"
A magnetic and resonant voice suddenly reverberated in the area.
"Ye Xunhuan, if you’re like this, your twenty-three brothers and your master Bai Hexuan would truly die unfulfilled!"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Xunhuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes shooting a bloodthirsty gaze: "You actually came!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan clenched his iron fists tightly, and the killing intent accumulated from countless blood and bones erupted like a volcanic explosion!
