The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2608 One person bears it, one person dies!

"You want to kill him head-on?"

Qiu Wushuang was shocked: "He is a Quasi-Saint, could it be that you... have really become a Quasi-Saint?"

Zhen Liuxue calmly said, "It's just a matter of risking my life. Even if there's only a 30% chance, I'll still do it."

Qiu Wushuang stared at Zhen Liuxue in silence for a long while, then said in a low voice, "Even if what you say is true, he really is the murderer, didn't Mother do this in the first place so that you and I wouldn't go to our deaths? What's the difference between you challenging him and going to your death?"

After a pause, Qiu Wushuang suddenly became agitated: "Even if you're dead, nothing has changed. He's still the Palace Master, but you're completely dead, without a trace..."

Zhen Liuxue said calmly, "Isn't that just what you want? You won't have to see me anymore."

Qiu Wushuang's face flushed red as she glared at Zhen Liuxue, her chest heaving. She seemed quite angry at Zhen Liuxue's words.

"Yes! Then you might as well just die, die cleanly and neatly, so you won't be annoyed by looking at me!"

Despite being cursed, Zhen Liuxue's usually cold eyes softened, and her icy voice became gentler.

"You know what kind of person I am. Once I've become who I am now, I don't care about many things anymore, including my own life..."

Qiu Wushuang looked at Zhen Liuxue's wrinkled and aged face and fell silent for a moment. Female cultivators care most about their appearance, and it is even one of the sources of their motivation for cultivating immortality.

Zhen Liuxue used to be so beautiful, with a goddess-like face and countless suitors. She was practically a descendant of her angelic mother. In fact, many people said she looked more like her mother's daughter. Although she was very beautiful, she lacked a certain charm compared to her mother and Zhen Liuxue.

Zhen Liuxue was an orphan. Her mother took her in as a disciple, raised her, and treated her like her own daughter, even more so than her own daughter.

Much later, Qiu Wushuang was born. Compared to the extremely beautiful and highly talented Zhen Liuxue, she was much less impressive. As a result, Qiu Wushuang never liked Zhen Liuxue and even loathed her.

In front of her mother, Qiu Wushuang would not reveal anything, but in private, in front of Zhen Liuxue, she made no attempt to hide her true feelings. Zhen Liuxue would always just laugh it off, not care, not complain, and let Qiu Wushuang do whatever she wanted.

After Qiu Wushuang came of age, she wanted to surpass Zhen Liuxue. She took Zhen Liuxue as her goal in everything, but the result was quite disheartening.

Qiu Wushuang was indeed a genius, but Zhen Liuxue was even more monstrous. The two fought for a long time, with Qiu Wushuang losing most of the time, and losing badly at that, which caused Qiu Wushuang's resentment towards Zhen Liuxue to grow stronger and stronger.

Later, after her mother passed away, Qiu Wushuang inherited the position of city lord, and Zhen Liuxue went into hiding. The two never met again. When they met again, Qiu Wushuang was already a high-grade Great Luo Immortal, a top expert in the Immortal Realm, and one of the Twelve Immortal Kings, while Zhen Liuxue had become an old woman, her beauty gone and her life frail.

In pursuit of greater power, he sacrificed his lifespan, resulting in his advanced age.
Qiu Wushuang asked softly, "Are you doing all this just to avenge your mother?"

Zhen Liuxue calmly replied, "Without my master, I would have died long ago. My life was given a new lease on life because of my master. She was murdered, so I have to do something. Even if the price is death, it doesn't matter. I've lived this long enough, so it's all been a bonus. There's nothing in this world that I'm willing to stay for."

Qiu Wushuang clenched her fists; at this moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions.

Her mother was murdered, and she, her own daughter, became the enemy's subordinate, and was quite pleased with herself. Meanwhile, the woman she despised was willing to sacrifice her appearance, her lifespan, and even her life to avenge her mother!
Guilt!

shame!
fear!

A multitude of emotions surged within Qiu Wushuang's heart, causing her anxiety and distress.

As Zhen Liuxue said, what could she do even if she knew?
To avenge his mother?

Although she is very strong, if she were to face that man, he could probably kill her with a single wave of his hand.

Seeking revenge would mean death, and it would be a free kill; doing nothing, however, would leave me tormented and lost...

Zhen Liuxue calmly said, "Just pretend you've never seen me. You can continue to be your city lord. What I do has nothing to do with you. Just pretend you don't know me. Nowadays, basically no one recognizes me, so you don't need to worry about being implicated."

Qiu Wushuang looked at Zhen Liuxue, her eyes filled with undisguised anger: "So, you're going to do what you did back then, abandon me when I knew nothing, and bear everything alone, even die alone?"

"Don't think I don't know. Mother originally intended to leave the position of city lord to you so that you could take care of me, but you refused, saying that you didn't like being tied down and wanted to travel around. In fact, from that moment on, you were prepared to leave Ice and Snow City, find a way to find out the truth, and avenge Mother, weren't you?"
