Chapter 2321 Never Loved Him from the Beginning
Mo Tianlan! How dare you!

Mo He rushed out of the Mo family home and ran wildly into the night. The night wind howled past his ears, but it could not dispel the rage in his heart that was about to consume him.

I've been so good to you, when have I ever mistreated you! I've given you everything I thought was good! I've even given you the respect that women of the Mo family have never shown before!
How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!
It's one thing to defect from the Mo family, but to do it with a ghost beast as well!
Mo He stopped and suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm and madness. "Ghost Beast? Hahahaha, damn it! Ghost Beast! A beast! Hahahahaha!"

He laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight, tears streaming down his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, only a chilling hatred.

What a beast! How dare Mo Tianlan insult him like that!
"Mo Tianlan! Mo Tianlan!"

His voice echoed through the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds.

-

Later memories flashed through my mind of Mo Tianlan as a child. Whether it was her delicate, fair profile or the way she looked up at Mo He, even her every smile and frown was filled with the controlling emotions Mo He felt. In his eyes, Mo Tianlan should always be that weak and obedient.

Later, the scene changes, and Mo He finds Mo Tianlan, who has betrayed the Mo family.

In a secluded valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters, Mo Tianlan leaned on the shoulder of a pale, ghostly beast, holding a wildflower in his hand, his smile so bright and dazzling.

"Look at this, it's full of flowers." Mo Tianlan's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze in March as she held the flowers up to the ghost beast. "Is it beautiful?"

The ghost beast responded in a hoarse voice, its tone full of doting affection for Mo Tianlan, "Beautiful."

"What about this one?" Mo Tianlan picked another flower.

"It looks good too." The ghost beast stretched out its pale hand and gently touched Mo Tianlan's fingers that were holding the flower stem.

A gust of wind blew from afar, carrying with it hatred and jealousy.

"Tianlan, I feel like the surroundings seem..." Before the ghost beast could finish speaking, it was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Mo! Tian! Lan!"

Mo He emerged from the shadows of the trees, his imposing figure casting a long shadow on the ground, his eyes fixed intently on Mo Tianlan.

"Third Brother..." Mo Tianlan's smile froze instantly. She subconsciously moved closer to the ghost beast, but dared not take her eyes off Mo He for a moment. "Congratulations on successfully completing your seclusion..."

"Is this what you should be saying to me now!" Mo He strode closer, ghostly power surging around him, creating a terrifying sense of oppression. Before Mo Tianlan could react, a powerful surge of ghostly power shot out from his hand, heading straight for Mo Tianlan's heart.

"Uh!"

Mo Tianlan reacted quickly, using his ghostly power to resist, but he was still forced back several steps by the impact of Mo He's ghostly power.

"Mo Tianlan, you actually tricked me!"

Mo He gritted his teeth, his voice barely audible, "You actually dared to play me!!!"

"Third Brother, listen to me carefully." Mo Tianlan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She couldn't panic; the more panicked she became, the more likely she was to provoke Mo He's temper. "I know you've always been good to me—" "Hmph!" Mo He snorted coldly, interrupting her.

The ghostly beast—Man Shu—silently blocked Mo Tianlan's path.

"Manshu, don't move." Mo Tianlan gently pressed down on Manshu's arm and shook his head at him.

"What do you think a little ghost beast can do?" Mo He glanced at the book with disdain, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. "A ghost beast is just a ghost beast after all, only useful for being subdued and controlled by a ghost master! I can't take you away, so I'll take this beast instead! You'd better think this through, Mo Tianlan."

"I won't let you take him away from me, Third Brother!" Mo Tianlan stood protectively in front of Man Shu, his eyes filled with determination. "Besides, he's not a beast! He's Man Shu, the guy I love!"

Mo He's eyes grew even more sinister, and his hands trembled, whether from anger or some other emotion, it was hard to tell.

Mo Tianlan raised her head and looked directly into Mo He's eyes. "I know very well that you take good care of me and like me a lot, but I will never like the person who killed my mother..."

Mo He's pupils contracted sharply; he thought Mo Tianlan would never know about this.

Mo Tianlan's voice turned cold, like the chilly wind when snow melts in winter, "Third Brother, I saw everything that day. Why, why did you kill my mother?"

"Because your mother is an eyesore!" Mo He almost roared, his voice hoarse and his eyes red-rimmed. "She opposes my love for you, Mo Tianlan! She's a sinner! She deserves to die!"

Mo Tianlan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't want to hear any of this, nor did she want to see Mo He's disgusting, crazed, and bloodshot face.

“So, Third Brother…” She opened her eyes, her once gentle eyes now filled with only resolute determination, “There was never any possibility between us. You say this is love, you say you love me? But this is not love, this is control. You never loved me from the beginning, you just liked the feeling of controlling me.”

Mo He roared, "This is love!"

Mo Tianlan calmly shook his head in denial, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but very clear: "This is not love."

"Mo Tianlan! I said this is love, this is love! Ugh!!!" Mo He couldn't hold back any longer. He used his ghostly power to pull Mo Tianlan from behind the book and forcefully pulled him in front of him. He grabbed Mo Tianlan's chin and roared angrily, "You love me! I love you too! If I don't love you, then in my eyes you are no different from these ghost beasts!"

Think carefully, when have I ever mistreated you, hmm? Born into the Mo family, you should know very well the status and fate of women in the Mo family! I gave you the respect you couldn't get in the Mo family! You should be grateful to me! And yet, just because I killed your weak, nagging mother, you say you don't love me? Say I don't love you? That I control you? Mo Tianlan… Mo Tianlan!! I really want to rip your brain out and see which nerve is out of control!

"Pooh!"

Mo Tianlan deliberately spat at Mo He, and the spit landed squarely under Mo He's eye, shattering the last shred of Mo He's restraint at that moment.

Mo He was stunned for a moment, then without saying a word, he threw a punch at Mo Tianlan. Mo Tianlan immediately felt her cheek go numb, and in the blink of an eye, she spun around and fell to the ground.

Blood flowed rapidly from her nose and the corners of her mouth. She had just fallen to the ground when Mo He grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up again.

Mo He's second punch came right away. Just as it hit Mo Tianlan, Man Shu flashed over and used his ghostly power to take Mo Tianlan's place, absorbing the damage from the punch for her.

That punch sliced ​​off half of Man Shu's ghostly power and instantly severed most of his head. If that punch had landed on Mo Tianlan, he would have either died or not lived long.

Mo He showed no mercy.
