Yama's Wedding
As the two approached, they saw that the fallen person was Xiao Yao Yu, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Both Xiao Yao Hao and Xiao Yao Yu bore sword wounds, but it seemed that Xiao Yao Yu's injuries were more severe.
Xiao Yao Hao stood before Xiao Yao Yu, pointing his sword at him. "Do you have anything to say now?"
Lying on the ground, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Xiao Yao Yu's mouth. "Since ancient times, the victor takes all. I lost; go ahead and kill me!" With that, Xiao Yao Yu displayed an expression of indifference toward death.
"Why did you let it come to this? It was just a matter of admitting your mistake!" Xiao Yao Hao had no intention of harming Xiao Yao Yu; after all, they still shared a blood relation.
"Admit my mistake? What did I do wrong? They all deserved to die. The only mistake I made was not killing you sooner."
Even at this moment, Xiao Yao Yu showed no remorse for having killed so many people; in his heart, he felt not even a hint of guilt.
"Xiao Yao Yu, how can you say you did nothing wrong? No matter what, how could you not spare your own sisters?" Yao Guang couldn't help but speak out as he looked at Xiao Yao Yu. He remembered how devastated Xiao Yao Yu had appeared when the Roux sisters died, making him believe he mourned for their loss. Now, reflecting on it, Yao Guang felt that Xiao Yao Yu was nothing short of a beast in human clothing.
"Sisters? Hahaha! Xiao Yao Hao, don't think I don't know. They were merely beauty assassins cultivated for you by your mother. Didn't she tell you that long ago?" Xiao Yao Yu's words shocked everyone present. What was going on?
In contrast, Xiao Yao Hao seemed to have known about this for a long time; there was no trace of surprise on his face. "That's right. However, they themselves didn't know; I never told them. Even if they weren't our sisters, you shouldn't have laid such a deadly hand on them. They grew up with us," Xiao Yao Hao said with genuine sorrow. Although he didn't know how Xiao Yao Yu had discovered the biggest secret of Xiao Yao Villa, he believed that the Roux sisters were innocent victims who had been chosen without their knowledge. After their mother and Liu Qing died, he had lost interest in developing Xiao Yao Villa and had intended to let the two sisters live carefree lives as if they were the elder and younger sisters of the villa. After all, he could afford to take care of them both. However, he never expected that even so, they would end up being killed by Xiao Yao Yu.
"So you still haven't realized it? Hmph! If I had known earlier, I should have acted later; then you wouldn't have suspected me so soon," Xiao Yao Yu said with some regret.
"Even so, you shouldn't take lives so lightly. Have you never regretted it?" Xiao Yao Hao asked with a hint of hope in his voice.
"Why pretend here? It's just a life!" Xiao Yao Yu replied nonchalantly. Why was his older brother dragging things out? He had already prepared himself for death; after doing so much, he didn't even know what he truly wanted! Perhaps it was simply unwillingness—why should the adopted Roux sisters receive love while he, the biological son of their father, was abandoned like this? Since that was the case, why not let everyone perish together? Didn't Madam often say that they were one family? If one family died together, what would be so terrible about that?
"Xiao Yao Yu!" Xiao Yao Hao's voice was filled with anger. Seeing his brother disregard his own life like this made him extremely furious. Although they had not been very close growing up and had recently uncovered many troubling truths, their blood relationship could not simply be severed.
Xiao Yao Yu lifted his head and smiled lightly at everyone.
Xiao Yao Hao was momentarily taken aback by this sudden smile. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yao Yu swiftly grabbed Xiao Yao Hao's sword and, before anyone could react, plunged it into his own body. Xiao Yao Hao stared at the sword in his hand, disbelief etched across his face as he looked at Xiao Yao Yu.
"Why?" Xiao Yao Hao cried, holding his brother's bloodied body tightly.
"Elder brother, now we are even," Xiao Yao Yu said, calling him 'elder brother' stirred a complex feeling within Xiao Yao Hao.
"Don't talk! Quick, someone go fetch a doctor! Hurry!" Xiao Yao Hao shouted frantically, pressing his hands against Xiao Yao Yu's wound. The surrounding servants snapped back to reality and hurried out to find a doctor.
Xue stepped forward and checked Xiao Yao Yu's pulse. It was clear that the sword had pierced his heart; there was nothing that could be done. He shook his head at Xiao Yao Hao.
"Elder brother," Xiao Yao Yu grasped Xiao Yao Hao's arm, signaling him to stay still. "Now I finally owe you nothing. Hahaha! This villa truly belongs to you now; you alone will enjoy this endless solitude. Hahahaha..." Xiao Yao Yu descended into a fit of madness.
Yao Guang and Xue exchanged glances, filled with pity for Xiao Yao Yu.
"Elder brother, I no longer have to torment myself," Xiao Yao Yu suddenly pulled on Xiao Yao Hao with all his strength. "Elder brother, can you take me to fly a kite one more time?"
"Alright, alright! As long as you're okay, anything is fine," Xiao Yao Hao replied, now too afraid to move Xiao Yao Yu. Blood continued to pour from the wound, and no matter how he tried to stop it, he couldn't comprehend how one person could bleed so much.
Hearing Xiao Yao Hao's response seemed to drain all of Xiao Yao Yu's energy as he collapsed into his brother's embrace.
"Xiao Yao Yu!" Xiao Yao Hao cried out in sorrow.
Yao Guang had already seen Black and White Impermanence holding Xiao Yao Yu's soul. As they walked past Xue, Black and White Impermanence bowed to him, and Xue silently waved his hand. Xiao Yao Yu naturally saw Liu Qing and the respect that Black and White Impermanence showed to Xue. Just as she was about to say something, Xue instructed Black and White Impermanence to hurry and take Xiao Yao Yu to the Underworld. The two of them, holding Xiao Yao Yu's soul, shook their heads at Liu Qing. "This woman is still of use to me; you may leave." Upon hearing Xue's command, they took only Xiao Yao Yu's soul away. Yao Guang noticed that as Xiao Yao Yu's soul was being taken away, she turned back for a deep look. Following her gaze, Yao Guang saw Xiao Yao Hao crying alone while holding Xiao Yao Yu's body.
Yao Guang approached Xue and took his hand. With Xiao Yao Yu dead, this vast villa would now only have Xiao Yao Hao left. Yao Guang looked at the empty villa, still resembling the first time she entered—an earthly paradise, magnificent and splendid. Yet why did the sight of Xiao Yao Hao alone make her nose tingle with sadness?
"Xue, it's over."
"Yes."
Yao Guang and Xue quietly left this place. As for Xiao Yao Hao, let him be alone for a while; too much had happened in this villa. Now that things had come to this point, although Xue and Yao Guang still had many questions unanswered, too many lives had already been lost. Even if there were many wrongs surrounding Xiao Yao Yu, with her death, everything had vanished into thin air.
Xue had no intention of investigating how Xiao Yao Yu learned martial arts or how she found the legendary pill or why she killed so many people before coming alone to face her death. For Xue, he had come to Xiao Yao Villa with only one purpose: to obtain the Solidifying Pearl. Now that the matter was resolved, the next step was to seek his reward from Xiao Yao Hao.
Yao Guang felt as if she had found her belonging as Xue held her hand. In this ebb and flow of people, fortunately, she could still walk alongside Xue. Fortunately, she and Xue were not like those mortals; they had endless time to make amends for their mistakes, preventing them from living with lifelong regrets or allowing hatred to blind their eyes like Xiao Yao Yu did—living in hatred. Thankfully, she was still with Xue.
Yao Guang glanced back at Xiao Yao Hao's lonely figure. Liu Qing stood silently beside him; although Xiao Yao Hao could not see Liu Qing, she was there just like before.
What Yao Guang did not see was Liu Qing gazing at Xiao Yao Yu's bloodied body and pale face.
She remembered! She remembered everything!
