âXiao Miao! Iâm here!â Jun Mo Xieâs body jolted as he grabbed her hand.
âDo not touch me! Youâre not worthy of this name, you liar!â Miao Xiao Miao shook his hand off forcefully and cleaned it on her clothes. Then she lowered her head and remained still, until her body stopped trembling.
She waited till she stopped trembling before taking two deep breaths.
Then, Miao Xiao Miao raised her head and looked at Jun Mo Xie. She smiled and said, âManor Lord Jun, didnât you want to explain? Iâm listening to your explanation!â Her voice had turned extremely calm.
But this calmness was as still as death!
Jun Mo Xie felt his heart ache.
Miao Xiao Miao may look deathly pale and may be smiling, but there was a dull look in her eyes. With the current circumstances, no matter how he explained, she would not listen to any of it!
Jun Mo Xie sighed internally and only felt his heart ache.
âXiao Miao, the situation was like this⌠since I started cultivating Xuan skills, I began to breakthrough at unimaginable speed, I was already a Saint Emperor within a few years time.â Jun Mo Xie knew that explaining was useless, but right now, he couldnât not explain himself.
As someone who led two lifetimes, he had never felt this guilty!
And had never felt that it was this difficult to say something.
âWhen one has significant cultivation, their longevity will naturally be prolonged. But Xiao Yi, Qing Han, and the rest always followed me devotedly! But there problem before us was thatâŚâ
Jun Mo Xie let out a long sigh. â⌠I may still be able to maintain my appearance for hundreds and thousands of years without aging, and so can Xue Yan. But everyone else was destined to not be able to do so, because their cultivation would not reach that sort of level. Or rather to say, no one is capable of this. Xuan cultivation can only increase oneâs lifespan, but it is unable to maintain oneâs youthful appearance. Even if they cultivate to a Saint Emperorâs level like us, they are still subjected to the mercy of time. This problem may not be an issue to us, men, but for women it isâŚ
âXue Yan and I am able to not age due to reasonsâŚâ Jun Mo Xie skimped on the details of this part. âTo a woman, if they see that their lover and their sister is able to keep their youthful appearance and never age while they have to age along with time, that is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing!
âI did not wish to see them getting hurt in the future and do not wish to lose them⌠theyâre my women, so I naturally will want to protect them to the greatest of my abilities!â Jun Mo Xie said. âBut there is only one way to resolve the aging of oneâs looks and boost oneâs cultivation greatly. That is to consume both the Exquisite Lotus and Seven Colored Holy Fruit at the same time!â
âAside from this, there is no other way!â
âAnd so you set your mind on Heaven Saint Palace and Misty Illusory Manor? For your lovers?!â Miao Xiao Miao said apathetically.
âThat is the case. In Chrysanthemum City, I battled with the three Holy Lands, and the stakes were the Exquisite Lotus! In the end, they lost, so I went to Heaven Saint Palace according to the bet and obtained the Exquisite Lotus. And you experienced the effects of the Exquisite Lotus Iâve cultivated earlier.
âAs to the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, it was even more difficult to obtain. The first challenge was that I had no way to enter the Misty Illusory Manor. So⌠when I was in Chrysanthemum City, I left a hint of the Free and Natural Physique beforehandâŚâ
âThen, you made us of your so-called âFree and Natural Physiqueâ to cheat Cao Guo Fengâs trust! Then set up obstructions along the way so that they would do everything to bring you into Misty Illusory ManorâŚâ
Miao Xiao Miao laughed coldly. âEvil Monarch, truly a great scheme! Everyone is toyed in your palms! Before this, Iâve only heard of the saying âto produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with anotherâ. But Great Manor Lord, you have truly let this lass witness the true meaning of this saying!â
âIndeed! I finally got what I wished for and entered Misty Illusory Manor! My original intention was to silently steal the Seven Colored Holy Fruit the moment I found it and leave. After I obtained it, âMo Jun Yeâ would completely disappear. No one will see the Rainbow Holy Tree that I obtained, so no one will suspect me of it.â Jun Mo Xie no longer tried to conceal anything. He just spilled it all out.
âBut you had never expected that the Rainbow Holy Tree does not exist within the Misty Illusory Manor, but in another independent dimension. So you came up with another plot and set your mind on me?!â Miao Xiao Miao chuckled coldly. âBut I have to say, a silly lass like me is truly too easy to deceive. No wonder you would set your aim on me. The facts have proven it. Youâve succeeded! Your scheme is completely flawless!â
âThat is not true!â Jun Mo Xie said angrily. âFrom start to finish, I never thought of making use of you! Since I entered Misty Illusory Manor, to Gu Fei Yuâs provocation, then the challenge by the brothers of the Zhan Family, Xiao Miao, when have I made use of you?â
âManor Lord Jun, please donât call me Xiao Miao!â Miao Xiao Miao snapped angrily. âThis is an addressment that only my closest kin have the right to use! Youâre not worthy! You do not have this right!â
Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath. âFine, I shall not call you that! After Iâve understood the situation, I did everything I could to gain the quota for entering the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. The objective of the battle with the Zhan Family was also for this! I never tried to take advantage of your quota! You wouldnât deny this, would you?â
Miao Xiao Miao lifeless eyes turned away as she slowly nodded.
âIt is just that the ways of the world are too peculiar, and plans will never be faster than changes. When the Zhan Family was defeated, in their unwillingness to admit their defeat, they tried to get rid of me. But you risked your life to save me. I am grateful for it. But I had also made up my mind to maintain a distance from you. Because this sort of feeling⌠I am unable to carry it⌠I knew that if I had embarked on this relationship with you, when the truth was revealed, it would only end up like today! I was afraid to take it! And am unable to carry it!
âSo when you came to find me, I intentionally brought it up that I had a wife to reject you!â Jun Mo Xie squeezed his eyes shut. âI really did not wish to hurt youâŚ
âBut you⌠you are too deeply in love, more than I imagined! To fall completely unconscious upon returning home that dayâŚâ Jun Mo Xie breathed out in pain. âYour love, your determination, forced me into a path of no return! I couldnât just stand by and watch you fall into eternal slumber! So I chose to save you!
âI am indeed the Evil Monarch, with powerful forces and strength, but ultimately, Iâm only a man. A gentle, gorgeous and talented beauty like you who is so devotedly in love with me. How could I not be moved? How could I not feel anything? When I made the decision to save you, I treated you as my woman! My, Jun Mo Xieâs, woman!â
âYou may not know⌠but⌠my mother, due to my fatherâs unexpected death back then, in her extreme grief, also fell into a deep sleep like you⌠and she remained asleep for ten whole years⌠and would rather remain in her dreams than wake up.
âMy motherâs pain and love made me realize that I must not let the same tragedy fall upon you! So no matter what I have to face, I had to wake you up! And keep you by my side!â Jun Mo Xie looked at her firmly and said. âAnd give you happiness!
âSince I have made my decision, I will no longer hesitate or even regret! From that moment on, I never tried to run away with regards to our feelings! Even when I left⌠until now⌠my feelings towards you are genuineâŚâ
âIs Manor Lord Jun done talking?â Miao Xiao Miao gave an apathetic smile and coldly said. âEn? Are you done with your explanation?â
Jun Mo Xie knew that she did not listened to much of what he said. He couldnât help but let out a long sigh.
âPerhaps it is just as you said, whatever youâve done has a reason that leaves you without a choice! Youâre good to your wives; for their sake, you can do anything, you can use all sorts of methods just for them to remain eternally young⌠This is something you should do as a man, as a husband. I understand, and do not blame you for it!

âBut did it ever occur to you about how many people youâve affected with your actions? In the Misty Illusory Manor, Cao Guo Feng and the other Saint Emperors. They placed all their hopes on you. They treat you even more dearly than their own children, yet you have deceived them! From start to end, through and through, you lied to them!
âAnd the elders of the Misty Illusory Manor. They all viewed you as the hope of the Misty Illusory Manor. They completely chose to support you! And you, also deceived all of them.
âAs to me, you donât need to feel guilty⌠You did not deceive me!â Miao Xiao Miao laughed desolately. âI am not trying to be sarcastic, I am speaking from my heart. My husband is Mo Jun Ye; he did not lie to me, and he treats me very well. He really did. I am his wife, his woman! It is just that, he no longer exists anymoreâŚâ
âMo Jun Ye still exists! I am Mo Jun Ye!â Jun Mo Xie yelled.
âNo, youâre not!â Miao Xiao Miao looked at Jun Mo Xie with clear eyes. âYouâre Jun Mo Xie! You are only Jun Mo Xie and not my Mo Jun Ye! Although he is just one of your identities, but you cannot replace him! He was born because of you and ceased to exist because of you.. No, how can my Jun Ye be gone? He will live on forever in my heartâŚâ
