Chapter 1: Conspiracy to Murder

"It is you, you really want to kill me!"

The youth's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes. Upon seeing his surroundings and realizing his situation, he was suddenly taken aback

I am not at fault! All of this is merely the result of your selfish motives!

The smile faded, and malice arose from the heart. The young man suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at the woman in white.

On the table lies a plate of crystal-clear grapes, and a glass filled with red wine, adorned with beads of condensation. Even more outrageous is a thick cigar, emitting white smoke, resting on a glass ashtray! Flanking the beach chair are two speakers equipped with enormous horns, blasting deafening, intense percussion music, while the surrounding stagnant toxic mist sways in rhythm.

"I said, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being useless!" The woman in white reached out her hand as if to grasp the air, and the young man immediately turned red, as if he were being choked, nearly suffocating.

The young boy grinned widely, laughing heartily: "True feelings do not require compatibility; only those stubborn old fogies, who are devoid of emotions and solely driven by profit, would speak of compatibility and incompatibility!"

In the territory of Zuofeng County, Longshi District, Shenwu Empire, lies the Poison Fog Abyss, located a thousand miles away from the county seat

The woman in white turned away coldly and floated down the mountain.

The woman in white squinted her eyes and turned her head slightly, looking disdainful: "What use is it for you to blame me? I just want you to know how unworthy you are of Yue'er!"

Toxic Fog Abyss

As the approach of death seemed to be felt, the boy's face, which had been pinched red, became distorted with rage, and he spat out each word through clenched teeth: "I am unwilling... If there is a next life, I vow to kill you!"

The young man fell silent for a moment, then sneered: "Is complete eradication really the only solution to this matter? Moreover, the engagement between me and Yue'er was a mutual decision made by our two families. Now, not only does your Su family wish to go back on that agreement, but you also want to take my life. Why say so much? If you want to kill me, do you expect me to understand you and not blame you?"

The youth was startled, realizing that he was still alive, and suddenly gave a bitter smile: "Now I am the fish and you are the cleaver. There is no escape for me now, what words do I have left to fear? On the contrary, it is you. Since you intend to kill, do it swiftly. Such hesitation, are you trying to humiliate me, or are you wary of the power behind me, afraid to act?"

The woman in white frowned slightly upon seeing this, then with a flick of her sleeve, the young man was sent flying downwards, plummeting towards the center of the poisonous mist abyss

In front of the fairy, a boy dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit is floating in mid-air, with his limbs naturally hanging down, just above the cliff. The boy has a delicate face, and with his eyes closed, he gives off a sense of a baby soundly asleep

Over the years, the moon has often given you the elixirs that I provided for her, and I have turned a blind eye to this. Even your father, Count Zhang, has sought out various medicinal materials for you. But tell me, after consuming so many precious elixirs and herbs from the mortal realm, your strength is only at the third level of body refinement! Not to mention that you have yet to break through to the Qi training stage! With such abilities, how can you survive in this world? How can you protect the moon? Do you expect the moon to spend her life protecting you, a good-for-nothing?

On a towering and steep cliff, a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, resembling a celestial being descended to the mortal realm, stands with her hands clasped behind her back, her expression serene in this place devoid of flying birds

In mutual affection, what wrong have I committed? Is it because of danger that I must abandon Yue'er? If that is the case, I would rather die than see even a hint of sorrow on Yue'er's face

April 54 of the Jia De era

Then I will wait for you to come and kill me in the next life. The woman in white did not hesitate to squeeze her palm with force, showing disdain for the youth's vow

The woman in white, upon hearing this, became even more menacing: "Zhang Zhongjun, since you are aware, why did you not leave Yue'er earlier? Why did you allow your position in Yue'er's heart to grow more significant?"

The woman in white laughed loudly, then suddenly fell silent, staring coldly at the young man: "Gu Ji? Your father, Count Zhang, is indeed extraordinary, but it is not just me who desires your death! Your several uncles have long been eyeing the title of count. If it weren't for the fact that the count has only you as his sole heir, and the royal family needs a useless noble like you with no future in cultivation, your position as the heir of the Zhenjun family would have been taken by someone else long ago!"

It turns out that my uncle's shadow looms behind this matter! The young man, heartbroken and gritting his teeth, forced a smile that was even more sorrowful: "Everyone wants to kill me, but what have I done wrong... I am in love with Yue'er, is that a crime? I was born the son of Count Zhang, is that a crime?"

A large frog, half the size of a person, with a shiny green back and a snow-white belly, is dancing to the music, wearing oversized sunglasses, and moving in a rhythmically intense manner like a human.

The woman in white was furious: "But do you know that for you, Yue'er actually refused to return to the sect, and is still waiting to honor the marriage contract, to marry you after turning 18? If she marries you and loses her purity, she will never be able to break through to the Qi Refining stage in her lifetime!"

A square platform measuring 100 meters in diameter is laid with a floor as white as jade, presenting a striking contrast of black and white. Above the white jade platform, a sun lamp hangs high, radiating light, while below it are a sun umbrella, beach chairs, and a small table

The woman in white had been observing the boy's expression. Seeing him awaken so quickly, the indifference in her eyes faded, and a glimmer of killing intent flashed: "Not foolish after all. However, do not blame me; if you must blame someone, blame yourself for being a useless person. As Yue'er’s master, I will not allow her future to be ruined by a waste like you. You should understand that, right"

With a snap, the young man, filled with deep reluctance, closed his eyes and tilted his head to one side, as vitality slowly faded away. Only a single drop of crystal-clear liquid fell, carrying with it his final regret: poor Yue'er must face solitude, enduring a lifetime of heartbreak

Startled, the youth raised his head and, upon seeing the indifferent expression of the woman before him, his complexion changed dramatically, revealing a fierce glint in his eyes

This is a deep valley shrouded in a toxic mist that cannot evaporate for many years, perpetually in a dark and cold state without any sunlight, with the ground covered by a thick layer of black swamp that has accumulated over countless years

In our sect for a thousand years, Yue'er has always been of top-notch talent and disposition, making her a strong contender for the future position of sect leader! It is important to note that Yue'er is already at the first level of Qi Refinement! With her qualifications, it would be a sin if she does not reach the Celestial General level before the age of 20! Any troubles that hinder Yue'er's cultivation, as her master, I will eliminate them all!

The young man's fists clenched tightly, his gaze icy, but soon turned to resignation: "I had anticipated this day long ago. The moon is the pride of the heavens, while I possess ordinary talents. It is certain that our desire to be together will not be smooth sailing."

What use is genuine emotion

You are seeking death! The white-clad woman reached out her hand, and instantly five fingerprints appeared on the boy's neck.

... ...

He is now being held in mid-air above a cliff, which is a thousand feet deep; as soon as the other party lets go, he could fall to his death at any moment
