After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 141 She never holds anyone back

Rumors spread that Lu Jiande was unworthy of his position and would incur divine retribution. The soldiers on the border, having been without supplies and reinforcements for a long time, were eventually slaughtered by the Hu people.

Ironically, after the last defending general was trampled into a bloody pulp by the barbarian hooves, a heavy rain began to fall.

For three consecutive days, all things came back to life.

Unfortunately, the remaining Wei territory had become pastureland for enemy states, and the remaining Wei people had become livestock.

Those aristocratic families who supported Lu Jian were also besieged and massacred in Fengdu Forest Garden.

The civil and military officials who regarded Lu Jian as a wise ruler all died tragically.

Baili Ming exhausted all his manpower and finally managed to rescue Lu Jian, but before he could even leave the capital, he was captured by Wang Qingyan.

He locked Lu Jian up and made puppets of different people every day in front of him.

First Lin Yuchuan, then Baili Ming, then Zhang Shan who had followed Lu Jian for many years, then He Yao, the Empress Dowager...

Until Lu Jian broke down in tears, kneeling down and begging Wang Qingyan to kill him.

How could Wang Qingyan, who could trample imperial power and wealth into the mud, let Lu Jian have his way?

He preserved Lu Jian's throne and Shangyang Palace until Lu Jian went mad and accidentally drowned in a pond, where he rotted and decayed.

After Lu Jian's death, the entire Great Wei, the Northern Hu and Xianbei, and some surrounding small countries quickly and strangely fell into Wang Qingyan's hands, allowing him to trample on them at will.

The once glorious and noble scions of aristocratic families and grassland nobles were reduced to mere ants and grass, struggling to survive and eking out a living under his rule.

As people were tamed by fear and succumbed to Chao Sheng's control, Wang Qingyan began to make them kill each other.

Kindness, compassion, family, love, friendship...

He didn't plant the curse on everyone, but he would find anything that was even slightly related to goodness and crush and destroy it.

Occasionally, when he encounters one or two people with strong and unyielding character, he drags them into the deepest darkness, forcing them to become as mad and tormented as he is.

Gradually, more and more people like him became crazy.

Countless human hells were thus created...

Bai Lize didn't know exactly how many times this dream had repeated itself.

But no matter how much she was mentally prepared, she was still repeatedly brought to tears by the overwhelming sense of powerlessness that made her unable to resist, from the depths of her mind to her instincts.

She cried and struggled desperately, wanting to break free but hopelessly sinking...

Finally, his neck was tightly strangled, and he was dragged along the ground by a rope until he could no longer make a sound...

After an unknown amount of time, Baili Ce was pulled out of his agonizing story by a force.

In a panic, she crawled into a narrow corner, hugged herself and curled up into a ball, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

"..." She even touched her neck and felt a mark that had been there for years.

"Why...why...why won't you let me see his past?" In the dim silence, Baili Ce heard his own trembling voice.

Throughout the entire process, she saw no trace of Wang Qingyan's life experiences.

It's as if he was always this powerful, born without any conscience or humanity.

People like this usually end up losing badly.

They either get killed as a sacrifice by protagonists like Lu Jian or Baili Ming, or they suffer the consequences of their own actions and die a terrible death.

But in this story without Baili Ce, Wang Qingyan would have already killed everyone by this point in time.

A sigh escaped.

Then a faint light appeared, and a weary voice said, "I don't know anything about his past either."

"Your lies are even worse than mine."

Hearing someone speak made her feel much more at ease.

Ancestral Gu, "..."

"I'm doing this for your own good," he bluntly stated.

Bai Li Ce gave him a cold look, still hugging his knees and shrinking into a corner where he felt very safe. "People have to live in this world for something."

"In this story, he dislikes nothing but wine, women, wealth, and power."

"He has no close friends, no one who loves him, and no one he loves."

"He was never close to his clansmen, and didn't even have a loyal subordinate. After gaining power, he disdained to establish himself as king and expand his territory."

"Yet he was obsessed with destroying all the beautiful things in the world and couldn't bear to see others live in the light."

"So I'm guessing he's been treated like this before, and more than once, right?"

“…” Zu Gu remained silent.

"You said that people born as demons are extremely rare... Are you afraid that after I learn about his past, I will feel sorry for him?"

The female doctor's blood contained not only the old and new Gu, but also some other things. Cleaning it all out in one go consumed a lot of the ancestral Gu's power.

But seeing that Baili Ce seemed to have quite a few problems, and that he was determined to get to the bottom of things, Zu Gu simply placed it on her shoulder.

"If you were truly so unable to distinguish right from wrong, I wouldn't have chosen you in the first place."

While a tragic experience certainly deserves sympathy, it cannot be a reason for offending someone.

Not everyone was involved in harming Wang Qingyan; not everyone is so bad or so selfish.

When he vents his hatred on innocent people, he is no longer pitiful.

In particular, he has corrupted the natural order and reversed cause and effect; he is utterly wicked and beyond redemption!

"Besides, how do you know that Wang Qingyan isn't a born devil?"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Let alone a madman like Wang Qingyan, even if you're just looking for a partner, if you hear that the other person has a criminal record, 90% of normal people would back away.

How could she possibly feel sympathy or even pity for someone, acting like a saint?

"When people are too scared, they can't control their instincts."

This means that the Wang Qingyan of the past was even more terrifying than the one she had just seen in the story.

"However, if you insist..."

"Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you talking about..." Bai Lize quickly stretched out a hand to stop him, "No! I won't insist!"

Adhering to the principle that "heeding advice leads to a full stomach," she chose to skip directly to the next question, "How is Lu Jian?"

"Very bad"

Bai Li Ce remained silent for a long time.

In that story, after going mad, Lu Jian would often repeat the same phrase, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Her older sister, that arrogant young lady, could have survived if she had simply followed Wang Qingyan's advice and stabbed Lu Jian, or slapped and kicked him a few times.

Let's not talk about He Yao and the Empress Dowager, after all, they are the closest of relatives and friends.

Lin Yuchuan was merely a subject, and his official rank was not very high, yet he would rather be tortured to death than utter a single word against Lu Jian.

Many people were turned into evil spirits by Wang Qingyan, but there were also those who never wanted to harm others.

Not all of them were well-educated; some had never even left their villages.

Even such a person, on his deathbed, never wielded his sword against the weaker.

"Please see me out."

The light flashed. "There's no need to rush. You can stay a little longer."

Compared to Lu Jian, who hadn't adapted to the Ancestral Gu beforehand, Bai Li Ce's pain was like the pain of being accidentally scratched by a tree branch.

The reason she had a fever and fell into a coma was partly due to the fact that the female doctor's removal of the Gu in her blood would temporarily cause her to lose her senses.

More likely, she was genuinely frightened by those scenes, triggering her body's protective mechanisms.

Of course, it was his first time killing a Gu, so he lacked experience, which is also a small part of the reason for the "billion" result.

“You’ve changed a lot already, it’s okay to stay a few more days.” Not to mention her, even Zu Gu herself was terrified.

If Baili Ce hadn't gone to the Xianbei to find Him, He might not have had the courage or the ability to appear before Wang Qingyan.

Therefore, taking a break at such times is completely understandable and beneficial to physical and mental health.

Bai Li Ce thought for a moment...

She shook her head again, "Although I'm not really willing, but..."

Resolutely rise from the corner.

Running away is shameful and pointless.

"I don't want to be the one who holds everyone back!"
