"I went to the Great Yan Empire to... to improve my strength quickly so that we could consummate our marriage sooner! Why don't you understand?" Ling Qingzhu pleaded, hoping Chen Xuan would realize she had her reasons and stop pressing her further.
Moreover, as her husband, shouldn't he ask about what happened to her in the Great Yan Empire? Whether she was hurt? Why did he only care about those things? Are they really that important?
"If that were truly the case, you would have followed my instructions, taken an elder with you, and avoided all these complications!" Chen Xuan's chest burned with a raging fire, almost ready to explode.
Ling Qingzhu, staring at his terrifyingly furious face, tried several times to explain, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with anything to say. He was right. If she truly wanted to consummate their marriage sooner, she wouldn't have secretly gone to the Great Yan Empire, seeking that unnecessary Nirvana Heart.
Or maybe, deep down, she had never fully accepted Chen Xuan. She felt he hadn't truly conquered her. And it was precisely because of this that she made an irreversible mistake.
Ding! Ling Qingzhu feels regret and emotional breakdown. Emotion value +100.
"It's come to this... let's end things amicably," Chen Xuan said, looking at her with no hint of affection left in his voice, every word deliberate and clear.
Ling Qingzhu thought she had misheard. She froze for a moment, her body trembling uncontrollably. "You... what did you just say? Chen Xuan, say it again."
"I said, let's end this on good terms. It's best for both of us."
By now, there was no trace of anger on Chen Xuan's face. He appeared incredibly calm. But anyone who knew him well would recognize this as the calm before the storm.
Though he had decided to end his marriage with Ling Qingzhu, it didn't mean this matter was over. Once he resolved their relationship, he would head to the Great Yan Empire and make Lin Dong pay the price. He would force Huangpu Jing to kneel and beg for mercy!
Once his mind was set, he could move forward without hesitation!
"No! No! I don't agree! Haven't we gotten along well since we got married? Just because of one small incident, you want to end it amicably?" Ling Qingzhu's eyes filled with tears, ready to spill at any moment.
In the past year, they had never fought. Why was he abandoning her now, just because she went to the Great Yan Empire and a small accident happened? Doesn't he have a heart?
Ding! Ling Qingzhu feels panic and anger. Emotion value +100.
A small incident? You call cheating a small incident? Chen Xuan clenched his fists tighter. If it had been anything else, he might have softened. But this was a matter of principle. He could never forgive her.
"Senior sister, ever since we married, we've always slept in separate rooms and never shared a bed. What kind of marriage is that?"
The more he thought about his wife, ignoring his warnings, going so far to practically offer herself up, the harder it was for Chen Xuan to suppress his rage.
Ling Qingzhu thought she understood. "Isn't it because you want to consummate our marriage? Fine, let's do it now. Right away!"
Ling Qingzhu believed that with her famed beauty and unparalleled cultivation talent, even if she had made a mistake once, Chen Xuan wouldn't be able to resist her offer. He would even be pleased. After they consummated the marriage, even if their master discovered she was no longer a virgin, she would assume it was Chen Xuan's doing and wouldn't blame her.
It was a flawless plan.
But faced with her offer, Chen Xuan clenched his fists so tight that his nails dug into his palms, using the pain to remind himself. His face remained calm as he shook his head. "Senior sister, a broken mirror can never be mended. Do you understand?"
Ling Qingzhu tightly gripped her jade-like hands, her face rapidly changing before she said something shocking: "Putting aside the facts... don't you think you share some of the blame for what happened?"
If you had taken me with you into seclusion for cultivation... If you had sent someone to follow me... would these things have happened?
"What responsibility do I bear?" Chen Xuan stared at her, bewildered by her words. He paused for a few seconds before realizing what she meant.
"You... you..." Ling Qingzhu stammered, at a loss for words.
Chen Xuan waved his sleeve, and a sheet of white paper along with ink appeared in midair. He stepped forward, took hold of the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote fluidly on the paper. After signing his name in the corner, he pricked his finger and left a blood imprint.
"Senior sister, since you won't agree, here's a divorce letter. I wish you happiness!" Chen Xuan handed her the divorce letter.
But Ling Qingzhu didn't take it. Instead, she grabbed his wrist. "Junior Brother, you can't leave!"
"Don't worry. Tomorrow morning, I'll explain everything to Master. Goodbye."
With that, he pried her hand off his wrist, left the divorce letter, and walked away. No matter how she screamed and shouted behind him, he didn't stop.
Back in his own courtyard, Chen Xuan sat quietly in the pavilion, his eyes calm. His fists, however, were still dripping blood, and the sight was unsettling.
His anger was uncontrollable. He smashed the stone table with one punch.
"Lin Dong! Huangpu Jing! Just wait! This isn't over!" The hatred of losing one's wife is irreconcilable!
Since he had to seek revenge, he would start with Lin Dong. As a fan who had read the original novel many times, he knew Lin Dong's future path inside and out. And with his current strength, he was capable of sweeping through the Great Yan Empire, which only had one First Nirvana Realm expert!
Thinking back to when he first read the novel, he had fantasized about having Lin Dong's romantic encounters and winning the beauty. But now, whenever he thought of Lin Dong, he wanted to tear him apart!
Five years ago, when he crossed into this world, he unexpectedly activated the Emotion Value Collection System. Since then, his rise had been unstoppable. The system was simple—it gave him a list of names, and by provoking those people, he could collect their emotional fluctuations.
These emotional values could be used for drawing rewards or purchasing items in the system shop, making the system incredibly useful.
Coincidentally, Lin Dong and Huangpu Jing were on that list.
Revenge and collecting emotional value—killing two birds with one stone!
After calming himself, Chen Xuan opened the system interface.
Host: Chen Xuan
Age: 18
Cultivation: First Nirvana Realm
Martial Arts: Green Lotus Sword Art, Nine Heavens Purity Steps...
Cultivation Technique: Fire Lotus Technique
Emotion Value: 3869 points
Pending: Triple Draw
Shop: Unlocked, higher levels unlock more purchasable items
Other: None
The system interface was simple and clean.
Chen Xuan's gaze shifted to the pending triple draw, and he clicked to start the draw.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Preeminent Strength Experience Card, an Ancestral Symbol Collection Book, and a Disguiser's Robe.
Preeminent Strength Experience Card: When used, the host can temporarily gain the strength of the Samsara Realm for 10 minutes.
Ancestral Talisman Collection Book: Collect all eight ancestral symbols from the Tianxuan Continent to receive a mysterious reward.
Disguiser's Robe: Allows the user to disguise as anyone for one hour, but it only works on those with lower strength than the user.
...
Looking at the rewards from the lottery, Chen Xuan was satisfied.
The Preeminent Strength Experience Card could grant him the power of the Samsara Realm for 10 minutes, which—even though brief—was enough to serve as his most powerful life-saving tool.
However, what pleased him the most was the Disguiser's Robe, which allowed him to impersonate anyone. This gave him a new plan for his revenge on Lin Dong!
His gaze shifted, and he noticed that his Emotion Points had increased from a few hundred to 3,869. However, he was still a long way from the 5,000 points needed to upgrade the system store.
At the current Yellow Rank Store, he could only purchase advanced martial arts. He needed to upgrade to the Mysterious Rank Store to access creation-level techniques and earth-tier spiritual treasures.
Chen Xuan's eyes landed on the Lucky Wheel. Each spin required 100 Emotion Points, but it had the potential to grant top-tier treasures like Pure Elemental Treasures and heavenly-level martial arts.
Even though the chances were low, Chen Xuan decided to take a gamble.
"System, spin the wheel!"
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000 Pure Yuan Pills.
"What? I'm already at the Nirvana Realm, what use are Pure Yuan Pills to me?"
Unfazed, Chen Xuan continued, "System, spin again!"
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Pure Elemental Treasure: Tetanus Blade.
"What? The Tetanus Blade? A Pure Elemental Treasure?"
"One cut for tetanus, two cuts and you're dead?" Chen Xuan, seeing that he had acquired a Pure Elemental Treasure, decided to stop spinning the wheel.
In the system's rewards page, a sword with rusty textures and an aura of decay appeared. It had no vitality.
He checked the blade's properties and found that his assumptions were correct. Anyone cut by the Tetanus Blade would suffer a severe drop in strength, with their soul wounded. In the worst cases, the incurable rot would consume their body, leading to a painful death.
With this sword, Chen Xuan felt he had a greater chance of winning future battles!
Later, Chen Xuan returned to his room and cultivated overnight.
The next morning, he made his way to the courtyard of the palace master of the Nine Heavens Purity Palace.
At the palace gates stood a middle-aged woman and a stunning young woman.
The middle-aged woman was none other than the current palace master of Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, a powerhouse of the Samsara Realm, and one of the strongest figures in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.
At that moment, the palace master, with a gentle expression, gazed fondly at Chen Xuan as he approached.
As a master, the thing she was most proud of in her life was accepting Chen Xuan as her disciple and arranging his marriage with her beloved disciple Qingzhu, ensuring a secure future for Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace
"Disciple Chen Xuan greets Master," Chen Xuan bowed respectfully, and after a brief hesitation, he added, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
"Xuan'er, congratulations! So young, and already you've reached the Nirvana Realm," the palace master easily discerned his strength.
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Without you, I wouldn't have achieved this," Chen Xuan responded with customary politeness.
The palace master nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "What brings you here today? Are you facing any issues in your cultivation?"
At this moment, the palace master was unaware of what had transpired between Qingzhu and Chen Xuan during her trip to the Great Yan Empire. Qingzhu hadn't told her either.
As he looked at Qingzhu, Chen Xuan noticed a trace of surprise in her eyes, likely not expecting that he would actually come to speak with their master.
Chen Xuan respectfully said, "Master, I have something I need your judgment on."
"Oh? What is it?"
"My fate with Senior Sister Qingzhu has come to an end. I respectfully ask for your permission to annul our marriage."
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the system's notifications rang out.
Ding! Qingzhu has experienced panic. Emotion Points +50.
Ding! Shen Qing has experienced shock. Emotion Points +50.
Shen Qing, the palace master, was stunned by Chen Xuan's words.
She knew how much Chen Xuan adored Qingzhu. When she announced the marriage, even though the two couldn't consummate it for a while, Chen Xuan had been elated for a long time.
But now, after only a year of marriage, he wanted a divorce?
As she considered this, a flicker of anger appeared on Shen Qing's face.
Could it be that he couldn't bear the loneliness and, after being denied consummation, he came to ask for a divorce?
Noticing her change in expression, Chen Xuan realized through the system's prompt that she was starting to get angry.
Ding! Shen Qing has experienced anger. Emotion Points +100.
Was she thinking that he had grown tired of Qingzhu and was now seeking a new love? Did she even believe that he had tried to force himself on Qingzhu, and that's why he wanted the divorce?
If that were the case, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Just then, Qingzhu interjected, "Junior Brother, are you abandoning me now that you've had your way with me?"
She played the role of the victim flawlessly.
Ding! Qingzhu has experienced grievance. Emotion Points +50.
Chen Xuan was completely stunned.
What was going on?
Had she been possessed?
The original Qingzhu from the novel wasn't this manipulative!
Sure enough, upon hearing Ling Qingzhu's words, Shen Qing was briefly stunned before turning to Qingzhu, looking incredulous. "Qingzhu, what did you just say?"
"Nothing..." Ling Qingzhu hesitated.
Shen Qing pressed her, "Speak!"
With a surge of acting prowess, Ling Qingzhu bit her lip and whispered, "Master, I've... lost my innocence."
"What?!"
Piecing together what Ling Qingzhu had said, Shen Qing immediately assumed that Chen Xuan was the one responsible.
A terrifying aura erupted from her body.
Ding! Shen Qing has experienced rage. Emotion Points +999.
From the sky-high rage points, it was clear she was now furious beyond measure.
Chen Xuan could feel the killing intent radiating from her.
In the next second, Shen Qing's voice boomed, "Chen Xuan! Have you forgotten what I told you? Qingzhu cannot consummate your marriage before completing her Supreme Sense cultivation!"
"Master, you've misunderstood. I wasn't the one who took Senior Sister Qingzhu's innocence," Chen Xuan quickly clarified.
"What? If not you, then who?"
Shen Qing's brow furrowed.
Chen Xuan replied, "It wasn't me, Master. It was someone else, but only Senior Sister Qingzhu knows who."
Ding! Ling Qingzhu has experienced panic, anger, and shame. Emotion Points +199.
