Storm seemed to arrive in an instant.
"Get out of here, all of you!" Tian Feiyao shouted, nearly tearing the roof off. His eyes turned blood red, and the demonic aura radiating from him made everyone present tremble in fear!
"Your Majesty... I take my leave!" Ling Cheng glanced meaningfully at Gu Yuniang beside the emperor and retreated cautiously. He had never seen the emperor in such a disheveled state; unexpectedly, he was treated to quite a spectacle today!
Luo Qingyun cast a worried glance at Gu Yuniang and had no choice but to leave as well. He was filled with regret, cursing himself for not anticipating that things would escalate to this point!
As he stepped out of the main gate and looked at the overcast sky, his eyes were filled with concern. "It seems a storm is brewing!"
"Gu Yuniang! Do you believe I will kill you?" Tian Feiyao narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
In the vast hall, only the two of them remained. The air seemed thick with the scent of gunpowder, and dark currents surged around them.
Seeing his furious and embarrassed expression, Gu Yuniang couldn't help but curl her lips into a mocking smile. Her long nails dug fiercely into her palm, yet she felt no pain at all!
She knew this was a precursor to Storm, but she stubbornly lifted her head as if she hadn't heard his words! How had he toyed with her before? She would make him taste that same bitterness.
Suddenly, Tian Feiyao reached out and tightly grasped her throat, secretly tightening his grip. Heaven knows he had never been humiliated like this before, especially not in front of so many people!
This woman! How dare she act this way?
Gu Yuniang felt as if the air in her chest had been suddenly drawn away. She looked at the face she had once longed for day and night and let out a light laugh, which only fueled his anger further.
“Just kill me! From now on... we owe each other nothing!” Gu Yuniang managed to utter these words with great difficulty. Whether it was because she couldn't catch her breath or for some other reason, tears began to well up in her eyes, but she held them back, refusing to let them fall.
She had never imagined she could face him so calmly! He had deceived her, and all she could do was return the slap! She knew he would surely kill her. How could someone so proud and perfect endure such humiliation?
Well then, death... might be better!
Tian Feiyao looked at her stubborn little face, observing her struggle to hold back her emotions. Suddenly, he realized he had never truly seen through her! Why was she saying such things? Who owed whom? It had always been her who owed him! What right did she have to say such words?
After a moment of daze, Tian Feiyao suddenly broke into a mocking smile. He gently loosened his grip around her neck, his long fingers caressing her flushed face as he spoke each word deliberately, “Do you want to die? I won’t let you die!”
As Gu Yuniang regained her breath, she gasped for air while coldly staring at him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you hate me? I forgot to tell you that night in Li City—it was indeed me! And your husband, your father, are also in my hands! Do you want to know their fate?” Tian Feiyao observed the icy hatred in her eyes and suddenly felt a sense of desolate... pleasure!
“Hah, I don’t hate you! If I hated you, it would mean I still love you! The only thing I truly hate is that I once loved you!” Gu Yuniang scoffed lightly, but tears began to stream down her face. In truth, hadn’t she already guessed this before coming here?
She suddenly recalled a saying she had seen online: Who hasn’t loved a few scoundrels in their youth?
Finally, tears streamed down her face.
