Ye Xuan forcefully suppressed the surging blood and energy in his body and opened the door.
Standing outside was Li Xuan’er, her face pale, but her eyes filled with urgency and expectation.
Seeing him, Li Xuan’er looked as if she had found a savior and hurriedly said, “Ye Xuan… let’s talk! Lin Yuan… Lin Yuan is too terrifying! We must join forces! You’re now the brightest star of the national league. As long as we get back together, with your current fame and status, we still have a chance…”
Before she could finish, Ye Xuan interrupted her with a cold sneer.
“Join forces?”
Ye Xuan looked her up and down. His gaze was like he was staring at a pile of completely worthless trash.
“Do you deserve it?”
Those four words were like three sharp blades, stabbing straight into Li Xuan’er’s heart.
Her face instantly turned even paler.
“Ye Xuan! How can you say that?!” She stared at the man in front of her, familiar yet unfamiliar, her voice trembling. “Back then, I fell out with Lin Yuan for you! I gave you all the cultivation resources the Lin family gave me! That’s why you’re where you are today! How can you treat me like this?!”
She thought that bringing up past favors would at least move him a little.
Instead, Ye Xuan burst into even more unrestrained laughter, filled with mockery and contempt.
“Haha… hahahahaha!”
Ye Xuan laughed so hard he bent forward and backward, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Li Xuan’er, aren’t you overestimating yourself?”
He suddenly stopped laughing, stepped forward, and leaned close to her ear.
In a voice only the two of them could hear, like a devil’s whisper, he said, “Do you really think I got close to you because I liked a self-righteous, stupid woman like you?”
“I only valued the fact that you were Lin Yuan’s woman, so I could continuously squeeze resources out of the Lin family through you! Being nice to you? That was called investment! Now that Lin Yuan, that spoiled playboy, doesn’t want you anymore, do you still have even the slightest value to me?”
Boom!
These brutally cruel words were like heavenly thunder, shattering Li Xuan’er’s last shred of illusion into dust.
She froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, her mind completely blank.
From beginning to end, she had only been a tool?
A tool used to extract resources from Lin Yuan?
All her sacrifices, all her betrayals, all her self-importance…
At this moment…
All of it turned into a complete joke!
“No… you’re lying! You’re not that kind of person!” Li Xuan’er went crazy, grabbing Ye Xuan’s arm and screaming hysterically, “You’re lying to me! You must be lying to me!”
“Get lost!”
Extreme disgust and impatience flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes.
He violently shook his arm, and a huge force sent Li Xuan’er flying, slamming hard into the corridor wall.
“A piece of trash that’s been thrown away dares to come here wagging its tail and begging?”
Ye Xuan straightened his collar, his eyes cold and utterly emotionless. “Don’t bother me again, or I won’t mind making you disappear from this world.”
With that, he turned around to close the door.
“No!”
Li Xuan’er struggled to get up from the ground and rushed forward again, tightly hugging his leg as she cried and begged, “Ye Xuan! Please! Don’t abandon me! I’m willing to do anything for you! Please…”
She completely collapsed.
Abandoned by Lin Yuan, ignored by her family, and now even her last hope had pushed her into the Abyss in the cruelest way.
She had nothing left.
Looking down at the woman clutching his leg like a dog, without any dignity at all, Ye Xuan’s last trace of patience was finally worn away. This chapter was copied from novelping.com without permission.
The disgust in his eyes turned into explosive rage.
“I told you to get lost! Can’t you understand?!”
He raised his foot, about to kick her away, but then seemed to feel that wasn’t enough.
Under Li Xuan’er’s tear-filled, pleading, and disbelieving gaze, Ye Xuan slowly raised his hand.
Pa—!!!
A crisp, thunderous slap echoed through the silent corridor.
This slap carried Spiritual Power!
Li Xuan’er was sent flying sideways, spinning twice in midair before crashing heavily onto the carpet several meters away.
“Pff!”
A mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth sprayed out, staining the white carpet with a glaring red bloom.
Half of her face swelled up visibly, a clear five-finger imprint shocking to behold.
Her ears rang, and the world seemed to spin.
Ye Xuan didn’t even spare her another glance.
He merely shook his hand coldly, as if he had just brushed away a disgusting fly.
Then, with a loud bang, he slammed the door shut.
All the crying, begging, and despair were sealed outside.
In the corridor, some startled contestants and hotel staff pointed at Li Xuan’er on the ground and whispered among themselves.
Li Xuan’er lay on the cold floor, feeling the burning pain on her face and the numb despair in her heart.
Her consciousness slowly sank into endless darkness and humiliation.
Why…
Why did it turn out like this…
