"I will leave you to languish alone, I will let you taste the bitterness of loneliness, and for the coming decades, I will make you feel every single day the agony of yearning without fulfillment. I want you to pay for everything you've done, I demand that you pay a hundredfold for the pain you've afflicted on the woman I love. Chinian... even if you have a face as adorable as a doll's, do not take me for a fool."

Chinian looked at Zhongli Wuzhi in disbelief, feeling her legs go weak. She was unable to stand straight for a moment and staggered two steps back.

Zhongli Wuzhi pursed his lips, walked up to Lu Xiaoer, slowly crouched down, and then... knelt on both knees.
