Capítulo 3: 3. Divorce Letter
"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.
