Chapter 505 She is the best at deceiving herself

Xiang Zhu looked puzzled and frowned even deeper. He really couldn't understand Ma Qianqian's indifferent attitude, so he asked, "Aren't you worried? Aren't you worried about losing your job? After all, this marriage is a basis for you to gain many benefits."

Ma Qianqian, however, still looked nonchalant and said with a curled lip, "There's nothing to worry about. People like Zhu Mian are the best at deceiving themselves. She knows exactly what I've done." Ma Qianqian paused, as if choosing his words, and then continued, "Compared to me, Zhu Mian may not want to tear open this layer... this surface peace. She would rather endure it silently than make a big deal out of it, so what do I have to worry about? She won't break this situation easily." After saying that, Ma Qianqian showed a hint of complacency, as if he had a firm grasp on Zhu Mian's mind.

Xiang Zhu was speechless when listening to Ma Qianqian's words. His eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly. He felt helpless about his selfish and self-interested attitude.

Ma Qianqian didn't notice Xiang Zhu's abnormality at all, and continued to talk to himself: "Did she tell you that she had enough and wanted to leave? Humph, I have had enough, and I don't want to pretend anymore. Why do you think I don't care? To tell you the truth, I have made a lot of money in the Zhu family over the years, and I have saved enough money a long time ago. I have already bought land in various places with the money I made in the Zhu family in recent years. No matter where I go, I can get these properties steadily and don't have to worry about the future. I am a very rational and pragmatic person. I know very clearly in my heart what I want, so I won't be tied down by those empty things." As he spoke, Ma Qianqian showed a smug and cunning smile on his face, as if he was quite proud of his own "cleverness".

Xiang Zhu sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and disappointment, and he slowly said: "There is no need for me to defend myself or say anything more, because you are too deeply involved with the Greedy Clan, and you have allowed your greed to grow without regard for the consequences." Xiang Zhu paused, and then continued: "I really have nothing to say, but there is one thing you may need to ask yourself now."

Ma Qianqian looked puzzled and frowned as he asked, "What do you want to ask?" He looked as if he didn't think he had any problems worth reflecting on. He was just curious about Xiang Zhu's words and wanted to know what Xiang Zhu was up to.

Xiang Zhu looked at Ma Qianqian seriously, and asked word by word: "Do you want to live? Do you want to live?" After a pause, Xiang Zhu continued solemnly: "Because as far as I know, you have eaten a lot of human flowers and centenarians in private, and you have deep transactions with the Greedy Clan. Most of your so-called industries are industries that harm people's lives, which are all sinful things. In addition, you even eat human flowers and centenarians. If you don't eat spiritual fruits to resolve these evil deeds, you will die. Moreover, as far as I know, you are already suffering from serious side effects now. There should be a lot of bruises on your back, right?"

When Ma Qianqian heard this, he subconsciously reached out and touched his entire back, which was now painful and covered with purple marks. His face suddenly turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans kept appearing on his forehead, and his body began to tremble slightly unconsciously. His heart was full of fear, and the indifferent look he had before had long disappeared without a trace.

Ma Qianqian's eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness. He looked straight at Xiang Zhu and said through gritted teeth, "Do you want me to repent? I tell you, I won't repent. I know what I did in my heart. There is nothing to regret."

Xiang Zhu frowned slightly and responded in a cold tone: "I don't want you to repent, otherwise, it would be too easy for you. But if you don't repent, even if you rot here, I won't give you the spiritual fruit. In your current condition, you can't survive for long without the spiritual fruit, so you have to think clearly whether you want to live or not."

After hearing this, Ma Qianqian felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His original arrogance and indifference disappeared in an instant, and his mood was like falling into a bottomless abyss. He was shrouded in great fear and could no longer hate anyone. He also lost his previous arrogant look. It was as if all his energy and spirit had been sucked away in an instant. Only a lost body was left. He stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Ma Qianqian slowly raised his head, with a hint of luck in his eyes, and said with a stiff face: "I can buy it with money. I have a lot of money. If you give me the spiritual fruit, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. As long as you name a price, I am willing to pay any price." When saying this, Ma Qianqian mustered up all his pride and forced himself to put on an elegant posture, but the slightly trembling voice still revealed the panic in his heart. Xiang Zhu just smiled faintly and responded firmly: "There is no such thing as trading in the spiritual race. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy spiritual fruits. Besides, spiritual fruits are not effective on everyone. If you have no repentance and still try to get spiritual fruits by trading or robbing, then after you eat it, there will be no good results. It will only increase your sins a hundred times or a thousand times. So, you still have to think about whether you want to live or not, and stop making these meaningless struggles."

Ma Qianqian yelled impatiently: "Are you done yet? Are you liars? How could there be such a thing in this world? What spiritual fruit? I'm afraid you are kidding me!"

Xiang Zhu was slightly stunned, and then said with some helplessness: "This is the first time I heard someone have such an idea."

Ma Qianqian stiffened his neck and said arrogantly: "Otherwise, why don't you give me one first, so that I can see if it is really that magical."

Xiang Zhu shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You always say that Zhu Mian is the best at deceiving himself. I think it's you who is the best at deceiving yourself."

Ma Qianqian still looked indifferent, snorted and said nothing.

Xiang Zhu continued, "You may have done this kind of thing so many times that you no longer feel the slightest bit of guilt. Have you ever thought about having a child?"

Ma Qianqian responded nonchalantly: "I have never thought about having a child, at least not with Zhu Mian. Although she is not ugly, she is too boring and does not understand me very well." Ma Qianqian paused, and then continued: "In fact, I am the one who most wants to make things clear with her and break up with her. If she can let me go, then I will definitely leave without looking back. And I have never thought about deceiving her. I just want to accumulate enough resources for my own interests and for my career. Now, I have accumulated enough, I can let her go free, and she can also let me go free."

Xiang Zhu listened, nodded and said, "I understand. Then you don't have to worry about this. Zhu Mian is free. She has gone to the place where Lingguo City is located, and to the time and space where it is. If you don't repent, you will most likely never meet again, and the only possibility for you now is to rot and die here, so you should calm down, think carefully about your situation, and stop being so stubborn."
