Although Ye Yun himself cared about this matter, it was evident that Xing Wu’s attitude towards it was one of complete disdain.
After hearing his question, she immediately smiled sweetly and said in a remarkably calm tone,
“The lives of others, what does that have to do with me?”
As she spoke, her fingers caressed Ye Yun’s cheek, and she said in an extremely seductive voice,
“At any time, the only one I care about is you.”
This was her perspective, a manifestation of her pure love for him.
“You this…”
Ye Yun found Xing Wu’s answer somewhat exasperating, yet strangely touching.
Xing Wu said with a faint smile, “Besides, the so-called good people, innocent people, whom I’ve killed are not few. There’s no need to have any psychological burden about it.”
“As long as you yourself can live with a clear conscience, that is enough.”
Hearing this, Ye Yun felt there was some truth to it.
Xing Wu continued to smile and say,
“You must understand that in this world, the judgment of good and evil is not solely determined by how many people you have harmed, but more importantly, by the purpose and the ultimate outcome.”
“If a choice is forced upon you under extremely special circumstances, then there is even less reason to care.”
Upon hearing Ye Yun’s previous words, although Xing Wu didn't fully grasp what had happened, she at least understood what Ye Yun was troubled by, and thus offered words of comfort.
Ye Yun, who had been feeling depressed, nodded silently after listening to his wife's explanation.
“Yes, what you said makes sense. Perhaps I’m really overthinking things.”
Looking back after completely calming down, he realized that he truly had no need to regret what might have happened in his past life.
Regardless, that was in the past, and it was not something that the current 'him' had done.
If anyone were to repent, it should be the fellow who made those cruel choices back then.
At this moment, Xing Wu looked at him quietly and finally asked,
“Now, can you tell me what exactly happened before?”
In the past period, Ye Yun’s state had been rather low.
Therefore, even though Xing Wu was concerned, she hadn't brought it up to avoid upsetting him further.
Now that he seemed better, she still wanted to understand what had transpired.
“Before…”
This time, Ye Yun did not hide anything. Some things, if not said now, Xing Wu would eventually find out.
With a sigh, he told Xing Wu everything, including the matter of the Divine City, the demise of the Sea City-States, the origin of the blood-colored monsters, and even his potential identity.
After listening, Xing Wu’s most apparent feeling was,
“So that’s how it is. That’s truly magical. The Divine City, the Heavenly Domain, the Samsara Divine Art…”
As a former powerful figure who had roamed the Heavenly Domain, these matters felt like a dream, ethereal and unreal.
If it hadn't come from Ye Yun's mouth, she might not have believed it at all.
She mused, “It seems that the various changes happening in the Heavenly Domain now might also be related to the Divine City.”
Many things had been inconclusive before, but after learning about the Divine City, she felt it was definitely related to that place. At least the people there should know what was going on…
Ye Yun nodded, “Yes, I think so too. Perhaps everything is indeed connected.”
At this point, he could no longer deny some things, even if he didn't want to.
However, Xing Wu clearly didn't care about those details.
She stared at Ye Yun’s face, smiling and saying,
“I never imagined you were so powerful before. The owner of the legendary Divine City… it seems I’ve truly struck gold.”
Although she understood little about the Divine City,
She knew it was a place that even the many deities of the Divine Age yearned for.
If Ye Yun was truly its controller, his status would be unimaginably high.
Ye Yun shrugged, not feeling happy about it at all.
“Alas, compared to that, I wish I had no connection to it.”
He had initially planned to help Xiao Meng destroy the person who killed her kin.
Who would have thought that in the end, the villain would be himself?
Fortunately, Xing Wu smiled faintly and said, “You really don’t need to feel such psychological pressure.”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“It’s a very simple principle.”
Xing Wu looked at him and explained with a smile.
“In most cases, even if reincarnation exists, the reincarnated individual will generally retain the same disposition as their previous life.”
“So, considering your personality, would you be the type of person who commits all sorts of evil?”
“Perhaps there are reasons we don’t know yet, just like I said, it’s possible you were forced into reincarnation out of necessity.”
To be honest, this comfort truly struck a chord with Ye Yun.
“Yes, it does seem that way…”
No matter what, it wasn’t possible for someone who was a chaotic demon king in his past life to inexplicably reincarnate as a good person.
After this explanation, Ye Yun’s inner压抑 (yāyì - depression/suppression) was largely alleviated.
Furthermore, Xing Wu beside him said with a smile,
“Let’s not think about these trivial matters for now. Let’s talk about something more interesting.”
The corners of her mouth curved upwards, and she chuckled, “I’ll show you something very nice. See if you like it.”
“Uh, nice things?”
Ye Yun was taken aback.
Xing Wu, however, played coy, tapping his forehead with her finger.
“You, haven’t you heard the saying, when receiving a surprise from someone, you should turn around first?”
“I have to turn around?”
Helpless, Ye Yun could only turn around, keeping his back to Xing Wu.
Immediately after, rustling sounds came from behind him.
Ye Yun was very familiar with it; it sounded like fabric rubbing against skin.
Good heavens, was she undressing? Could it be that she was going to…
In an instant, Ye Yun’s thoughts drifted to certain scenes that required payment.
However, after waiting for a while, she still hadn’t finished, making him wonder if taking off clothes was that difficult.
In fact, if it were that kind of thing, it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to help her undress himself…
“All done…”
After a considerable time, Xing Wu’s voice finally came from behind him.
Immediately, Ye Yun eagerly turned around.
But instead of the expected bare skin, there was…
“This…”
The sight before him left Ye Yun stunned.
What met his eyes was the familiar maid outfit.
Xing Wu was wearing a maid outfit, standing by the bed, looking at him with a smile.
Beneath the hem of the black dress, especially on her thighs, were ribbon-like leg garters.
Well… it was just…
