"It was probably a month after Baihua was born when I saw you holding Baihua and leaning against a man's chest."

"They seem quite intimate."

"What?"

Xiao Baihua looked towards the Luo River.

"Father, what did you say?"

Luo Changhe shook his head.

"I am not your father."

"You are the bastard child of your mother and others."

Luo Changhe said coldly.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling clenched her fists and trembled all over.

"So you knew all along, but kept it to yourself until now?"

"That's right, what else can I do if I don't endure it? If I don't, you will definitely kill me on the spot."

"After all, the Palace Mistress of the Hundred Flowers Palace must be a person who cares about her reputation. She must be pure and immaculate, untouched by worldly dust, and have a pure and desireless heart."

"If others knew that the Palace Mistress of the Hundred Flowers Palace appeared to be clean and upright, but was actually a promiscuous woman who slept with everyone, what would they think of her?"

"They will respect you to your face, but they will all laugh at you behind your back."

"Isn't that right? What kind of marital affection exists between us? You're just a tool I use to deceive others."

"With me as your husband in name only, it's easier for you to have affairs with your lovers, isn't it?"

"That way, I can recognize the father of the child I give birth to."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're raising a two-month-old baby in the palace, aren't you?"

"Don't you just want to wait until the child is older before letting me be his father?"

Luo Changhe said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling clenched her fists.

Luo Changhe continued.

"You think I don't know what you do every day?"

"When we first got married, although we occasionally made love, you always had to take a lot of medicine afterward, just to prevent you from having my child."

"You whore, do you really think I don't know?"

The murderous aura in Luo Changhe's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and after a moment, the black energy condensed around his body.

At this moment, Yang Fan was also shocked. He never expected that Luo Changhe would have such an effect.

"So you've endured it until now."

Xiao Ling looked at Luo Changhe.

"You don't actually think you can beat me just because you've reached the Nascent Soul stage, do you?"

Xiao Ling immediately drew her sword and pointed it at Luo Changhe.

"Of course, I know that I can't defeat you with this fake Infant Realm alone, since you have a Quasi-Spiritual Treasure. But with this, it will be enough."

Immediately, Luo Changhe forcefully raised his hand and reached directly into his chest. A moment later, he pulled hard, and his bright red heart was pulled out.

Then the surrounding black energy condensed near his heart, forming a black heart.

"Hey, senior, I'll trade this heart for my cultivation."

"Oh, how much cultivation level do you want to exchange?"

The old man above watched the scene below with great interest, thoroughly enjoying it.

Seeing this, Luo Changhe threw the heart onto the scales.

"I want the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage."

After a moment, the old man nodded, then took out a pill and threw it onto the scales. After a moment, the scales were balanced.

"Here, I have a pill that can raise your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage within an hour."

"But once more than an hour has passed, your cultivation level will drop back to its previous level, and in doing so, your cultivation level will irreversibly drop to the Qi Refining stage."

"But it doesn't seem to matter to you anymore, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe stared intently at his heart.

Luo Changhe had already removed his own heart; at this moment, he was only holding on by that ball of demonic energy.

However, this demonic energy won't last long. In just a few incense sticks' time, Luo Changhe will die without a fight.

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe burst into laughter.

"That's enough, that's enough time."

He then grabbed the pill from a distance and swallowed it. A moment later, his aura suddenly surged, and he actually managed to rise to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Luo Changhe turned around and looked at Yang Fan beside him.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that Luo Changhe would sacrifice him again.

Luo Changhe smiled gently.

"Young friend, don't be nervous. If there's anyone among these people who deserves to live, it's you."

"This is the adulterer, that's the harlot, and there's a bastard child—they all have to die!"

Hearing this, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Luo Changhe was one of the few good people among these people.

But he could now see that Luo Changhe was also nearing the end.

Clearly, he had been holding this grudge in his heart for a long time, and he had endured it until now in order to avenge himself. Now, he had finally found an opportunity.

Therefore, even if he dies here, he will still eliminate Xiao Ling and Xiao Baihua.

Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"Was the senior really worth it?"

"Is it really worth doing this for a woman like this?"

He looked up.

"With your strength, you could have had a bright future elsewhere if you had left the Hundred Flowers Palace."

Hearing this, Luo Changhe nodded.

"Yes, if I leave the Hundred Flowers Palace, I can indeed have a good future and live a decent life."

"But what about my grudge?"

Luo Changhe gritted his teeth and let out a long breath.

"What should I do about my revenge?"

Seeing Yang Fan looking over, Luo Changhe gazed intently at him.

"Young friend, this may be the last time I speak to you."

"In that case, I have something to say to you."

"Isn't the point of living all this time to fight for that one last bit of pride?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand.

"If even this slightest bit of courage is gone, what's the difference between living and being a walking corpse?"

"So I'd rather die with them today than let them leave here alive."

With that, Luo Changhe shouted, and the black energy in his hand condensed into a sharp sword, which he immediately lunged at Xiao Ling.

"Luo Changhe, are you crazy? Get out of here right now!"

At this point, Xiao Ling still wanted to use her past authority to intimidate Luo Changhe.

Ke Luo Changhe didn't take her cold rebuke to heart at all, and just charged forward fiercely, slashing his sword at Xiao Ling.

The sword formed from black energy was clearly powerful, instantly closing the distance to Xiao Ling to within a few feet.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Ling immediately retreated, desperately defending herself with the quasi-spiritual treasure in her hand.

However, the gap in cultivation level between the two was insurmountable, and even with this quasi-spiritual treasure, it would be difficult to withstand.

A moment later, black energy swirled around the sword, pressing down on Xiao Ling until she could hardly breathe.

Xiao Ling gritted her teeth.

"What kindness has our Hundred Flowers Palace shown you? Even if we turn against each other today, shouldn't we at least remember our marital bond?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing for a moment, a tear slid down his cheek.
