Chapter 486: Feng Wan’er’s Miserable End

Naturally, the wolf he was referring to was Pei Rumo.

Pei Rumo suddenly broke into laughter. “I thought that you would have at least toned down your temper after being in the Desolate Region for so long. Seems like Luo Chu led you astray.”

“Having said that, now that Luoluo is the empress in name, how is she supposed to marry me in the future?” When he saw that Pei Rumo didn’t have any ill intentions on Bai Luochu, he started to tease him.

“I can’t simply just revoke her status as my consort. Neither the rules nor the public’s opinion will allow me to do so. Instead, I will ask the minister in charge to register a new identity for Luo Chu. You don’t have to worry, she’ll be able to marry you.”

Pei Qingfeng nodded his head in satisfaction. The matter of their marriage would finally be settled.

Pei Rumo added, “However, you better listen up closely to what I’m going to say. I will always reserve the general’s residence and the title of empress for her. If you ever treat her badly in the future, I’ll take her away from you.”

The words went in Pei Qingfeng’s left ear and came out on the right. He ignored whatever Pei Rumo said. There was no way he would mistreat her.

“Don’t worry, you won’t get a chance to do so. Even if there comes a day where Luoluo doesn’t need me anymore, I still won’t mistreat her.”

Looking at the deep feelings they had for each other, Pei Rumo felt a little something easing up in his heart. Maybe it isn’t such a bad thing for her to be with Pei Qingfeng...

“Pei Wuchen committed treason and angered the former emperor to death. As I couldn’t bear to kill my own brother, I threw him and Feng Wan’er into the prison in the palace. Since you have some history with her, now is a good time to settle the grudges between the two of you.”

Bai Luochu nodded her head. She could easily hear the hidden meaning behind his words.

The moment the two of them left the side hall, they headed straight towards the prison.

“Even though I knew that brat, Pei Wuchen, wasn’t a good person, I would never have imagined that he would kill his own father for the throne.” Pei Qingfeng sighed as he stood outside the doors of the prison.

Even a person like Bai Luochu who didn’t like the old emperor hated the way Pei Wuchen handled the matter. “You are right, the old emperor dotes on Pei Wuchen the most. Who would have thought that the son he loved the most would scheme against him?”

Since Pei Rumo had given his permission, they were naturally able to pass through the prison gates. No one even tried to get in their way.

“How are you here? Didn’t you die in the Desolate Region?” Pei Wuchen couldn’t get his head around the fact that she was alive.

Bai Luochu smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Are you very surprised? Do you feel that I should have died there? Unfortunately for you, my life is very tough and even King Yama doesn’t want me there. Sorry to disappoint you.”

Even though Pei Wuchen’s reaction wasn’t too huge, it was another story for Feng Wan’er.

“You slut! Why are you still not dead?! You managed to survive by the skin of your teeth in the Bestial Battle Arena, but how can you do the same in the Desolate Region?!”

Feng Wan’er had already gone crazy from staying in this prison for too long. Now that she saw Bai Luochu standing in front of her, she wasn’t able to hold herself back.

Bai Luochu coldly snorted and sneered at her, “It seems like you’re finally willing to admit your wrongdoings. If you confessed and apologized before I exposed you, I might have let you off with a warning. It’s too late now. The only thing I am here for today is your life.”

The way she spoke made it seem as though taking Feng Wan’er’s life was as easy as drinking porridge.

No longer able to suppress her rage, Feng Wan’er reached out and grabbed Bai Luochu. Her muddy hands formed a stark contrast with Bai Luochu’s white and flawless face.

Feng Wan'er heart was full of hatred! Bai Luochu was the reason she lost the one she loved! She was jealous, jealous of the lady standing before her! She’s the reason I’m in this state today! Never had she stopped to think that if not for her selfish behavior, her hatred for Bai Luochu would have long dissipated.

Taking advantage of the gap in Feng Wan’er’s action, Bai Luochu transmitted the scenes of the day she had exterminated the Phoenix King Valley into Feng Wan’er’s mind. The bloody scenes flashed through Feng Wan’er’s mind continuously and when she discovered that the people being massacred were the people from the sect, she went completely insane.

“What have you done to me?! What are all these images in my head?! You slut! Why are you still torturing me?!”

Bai Luochu felt that Feng Wan’er was laughable indeed. Just a second ago, she swore to kill Bai Luochu. Right now, she was asking Bai Luochu to spare her... “Speaking of which, it’s heaven’s fate indeed. The day you conspired against the king was the day I killed my way into the Phoenix King Valley. Feng Wan’er ah Feng Wan’er, if this is not retribution, then I don’t know what is.”

Bai Luochu didn’t let go of the opportunity to strike Feng Wan’er when she was down. She wanted to add more fuel to the fire before sending Feng Wan’er down to meet with King Yama.

As expected, Feng Wan’er felt as though flames were frying the insides of her body. Her seniors, her parents, and her fellow disciples died right before her very eyes. It was at that moment that Feng Wan’er realized that karma truly existed.

“Bang”

Feng Wan’er smashed her head into the wall and breathed her last.

When Pei Wuchen saw what she had done, a trace of shock filled his heart. He never expected her to kill herself.

He crawled towards Feng Wan'er and tried to hold her in his arms. When he finally wrapped his arms around her for the first time in two years, he realized that her body was already going cold.
