Having the media under her control, not a thing about his state leaked through, but the news of her hospitalization spread faster than a wildfire.

“Did you keep her alive with someone else’s blood?”

“Heh, don’t tell me you want to feed her with your blood?” Sitting in the living room, Xuan Mu glanced at the man before him with rare coldness, so unusual from his daily loftiness.

There was no love nor gentleness in Li Jie’s eyes, all Xuan Mu could see was dull emptiness.

Why would his wife fall in love with him instead of amazing men like Li Jie? His eyes switched to the gun in the other man’s hand. They easily blackened, unlike him.

Xuan Mu kept comparing himself to other men, to assure himself that Bing Shi made a good decision by choosing him. Because his head was filled with nothing but ‘what if’ they choose another path...

.....

Just like how Bing Shi could be a mending water, she could also turn into a tsunami wave. A wall of water, which didn’t come over the land with the gentleness of spring rain but the power of a nuclear-blast shockwave.

Quin Yu had too many skeletons in his closets. His saving grace was the deep-rooted fear he inflicted on the people and the century’s deep connections. She replaced the fear with a will to fight, having a great impact on the whole defense and police division. It would still not be enough to go against his great power unless she set his own family and the government against him.

Binfinity was the hardest nut to crack. Binfinity couldn’t be controlled by the public’s opinion like Mo Luwei’s. She could let Kuro hack it and spread its blueprints. But who had the resources to make those blueprints reality? Binfinity only. Good luck to those who tried to become their rivals. If she wanted to make them collapse, she would have to go against every company they collaborated with. Which meant their consumers too. Which basically meant the whole world.

Did his wife ever hold back when it came to reaching her goals?

Haha.

No.

Her hospitalization was among the few things that ensued the most devastating financial crisis in the history of modern times. She took advantage of unstable people like Li Jie and Su Luqin, let them roam free to create havoc around the world by killing off the most important figures, the people who maintained the beautiful harmony called peace.

How did she judge who was good, and who was bad? In no particular way. People judged themselves for different beliefs, and the side they chose was a team she would put them into. How grand did her deeds have to be? Would her actions affect her already dead soul?

For extra effect, she switched sides from the winning team to the losing one, causing the stakes to flip over suddenly. ‘See me. Fear me. Cause I’m more dangerous than you – stopped working.’ The people who held the ‘bad’ guys back were now gone. ‘The good ones die first’ saying took place on a grand scale.

The Great Depression resulted in massive loss of income, panic, output loss, record-breaking scales of mass unemployment, increased crime rates and minor civilian wars.

A few months later...

Xuan Mu played with the ring on his left hand while observing the gaudy wedding of the blessed couple. As one would guess when it came to a wedding, there were soft hues of colours, the usual lavish lighting, and plenty of florals... and let’s not forget to mention the guests that were all dressed to the nines. He looked at his black-tie attire. If she was here, he would be able to hear the sweet squeals of approval for matching this grandiose accordingly.

Near the front of the ceremony, an immortal-like man stood beneath a wedding arch, creating a focal point for the upcoming vow exchange.

Bing Shi was unable to separate Quin Yu and Aoi Hong. They both overcame the seemingly endless hurdles that were coming at them. Aoi Hong helped a woman in need, which resulted in the revelation of her hidden origins.

Aoi Hong was not from an average family. Blue blood flowed through her veins. She was the long-lost granddaughter of the neighbouring countries’ royal family. In light of her bloodline revelation, Quin Yu’s clan took back the deal. They were now impatient to tie the two families.

What a coincidence. How did this knowledge bypass their radar? Bing Shi asked, and Xuan Mu answered: with a lie.

And like a butterfly effect, Quin Yu stopped targeting Binfinity so his villainy lessened; Xuan Mu’s host prevented his further blackening. The ‘good’ guys were taking over and Bing Shi wasn’t here to readjust her plan accordingly.

· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·

When the music started playing, everyone turned their necks as Aoi Hong walked down the aisle in her wedding dress, made specifically for royalty.

What a dreamy dress for a dreamy day with a dreamy man. Following the sinfully beautiful Aoi Hong with his eyes, Xuan Mu felt like pouring buckets of holy water down everyone’s gaping mouths and clogging their throats till they choke to death. But he only felt like that just to keep this sacred day untainted with a little bit of purifying rain, you know?

As the couple was about to exchange their bows, a sudden rain of bullets flew in their general direction through the dyed glass of the church’s windows. There was nowhere to hide. Aoi Hong quickly shielded Quin Yu in time, but in exchange, she received a bullet right through her chest.

“How do you like that?!” Su Luqin laughed maniacally as her fingers tightened around the rifle. Xuan Mu, who watched her make it rain a shower of bullets, noticed a majestic snake around her body that flew up to the sky, “How does it feel to have your most loved one killed right in front of your eyes? Hahaha! Die! Everyone! Go! Die!”

Su Luqin, who was carrying a rifle, would have carried on with her shooting spree if it weren’t for the lone, precisely shot bullet that pierced through the middle of her forehead. Feeling scarlet liquid on her forehead, she glanced to the side before falling down, and noticed the man with black circles underneath his eyes. She was an evil woman everyone spewed on. She herself never claimed to be a good woman. In fact, she was cruel; she was someone who did nothing to deserve mercy nor kindness.

While in prison, Su Luqin realized that she was pregnant, and it changed her world. She wondered, one day, while caressing her heavily swollen stomach, just who was the father? After ‘it’ happened, she only remembered waking up in a presidential suite. In that particular moment, she saw a new beginning that signified a better future. But as soon as she gave birth, her little baby was taken away.

Then, after Silika Lin’s hospitalization, she found the whereabouts of her child, and the identity of the father. Quin Yu, that devil who everyone fawned over, had killed their child!

Xuan Mu pulled the trigger for a second time, ending Su Luqin’s ‘suffering’ faster. This time, he actually made the rain pour down at the chaos below. What a stunning backdrop to take a stunning photo for his stunning wife.

“How did she get in here?!” Quin Yu kept pressing the bride’s wound, “You have to stay with me! The doctor will be right here!”

“Quin Yu,” Aoi Hong lifted her eyes with some difficulty, “You have to live on well...”

A loud cry of despair escaped Quin Yu’s lips as he wrapped his arms around her limp body.

As a proxy, Xuan Mu had to learn everything. One of his tasks where he had to make those two souls grow was done. From now on, Quin Yu’s soul would follow Aoi Hong on a trip around the universe. The system he created would now take over his job.
