Half a day ago, in a karst cave somewhere outside the secret perimeter.

The aura in the cave is rich, the blue light is green, and occasionally water stains drip from the turquoise milkstone, and at the same time the water splashes out, it also emits an ethereal sound.

Deep inside the cave.

Gu Wanqing's beautiful eyes were closed, and she kneeled cross-legged on a piece of emerald stone.

Dao aura came out of her body, dotted into stars, swimming, and slowly floating around her.

The light illuminated her cheeks, adding a touch of weakness to her already pale complexion. The residual blood stains on the corners of her mouth became more and more eye-catching.

Lean slightly.

The aura dissipated, and Gu Wanqing's face was a lot ruddy.

She slowly opened her eyes, first exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then couldn't help but feel excited.

Originally, this cave was the lair of a seventh-order demon beast comparable to a cultivator of the Creation Realm.

If it is someone else, the moment they encounter a demon beast that is several levels higher than themselves, they will inevitably choose to flee.

But Gu Wanqing is different.

She is gifted with demons, whether it is exercises, cheats, weapons, or hole cards, she is by no means comparable to ordinary monks.

Therefore, she chose to fight the demon beast.

The result was obvious, she won.

Although the monster's dying counterattack caused her to suffer some injuries, it was not a big deal.

Immediately, Gu Wanqing discovered that the emerald stone she was kneeling on at this time was actually a "Xuanlu Emerald Liquid" with a grade of Legal-grade Nine Grades, which was condensed!

Meditating cross-legged on top of this emerald stone not only allowed her to break through from the peak of Yuan Dan to the Dao Palace in one fell swoop! It even allowed her injuries to heal quickly!

"Sure enough, I made the right choice." Gu Wanqing muttered.

Although even without this emerald stone, she could still break through to the Dao Palace realm in a short period of time, but she definitely couldn't do it so quickly!

And all of this is because she chose to ignore the danger and enter the secret realm of the Dao!

Instead, Gu Wanqing's heart moved, and a green and gray fruit appeared in her hand.

Life and death!

She came to this cave to find a quiet place to take this substance.

Originally, she had already broken through at this time, and there was no need to take any more risks, which was a great disadvantage of life and death.

But she didn't think it was enough.

My own cultivation is not enough! It's not enough for her to regain her pride, and it's not enough for Xu Ze to be impressed!

So, she decided to take it as planned.

Even after taking this fruit of life and death, she needs to experience the pain of life and death, and there is even a risk that she will not be able to resurrect!

But she still chooses it!

Everything is just to prove yourself!

And at the moment when Dao Guo appeared.

[Dao-level items are detected, does the host recharge?] 】

The system's prompt text appears again.

"No top-up! Resolutely do not recharge! Gu Wanqing blurted out.

is still the same sentence, now she will not watch Xu Ze's memories no matter what, so that her thoughts will be affected!

As early as when Xu Ze said "good gathering and good dispersion", she had decided to let go completely!

Worried about an accident, Gu Wanqing no longer dared to hesitate, and immediately sent the Dao Fruit of Life and Death to her mouth.

The fruit is sweet in the mouth, but it is mixed with a little bitterness when chewed.

This made Gu Wanqing's eyebrows frown slightly.

Forcibly enduring the discomfort in her mouth, she finally swallowed all the Dao fruits. Immediately, something strange was discovered!

After the Dao Fruit entered the stomach, it turned into a breath that was sometimes hot and sometimes cold!

While the breath moved along the veins and dantian around her body, it was gradually cutting off her vitality!

In this regard, Gu Wanqing instinctively resisted, but it was useless.

Soon.

As the vitality gradually disappeared, her eyes became blurred, and her breathing and heartbeat gradually became weak.

At this moment, a sense of fear of death instantly enveloped her.

She couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes showed panic. But all this disappeared in an instant.

In its place, there is an expectation.

Yes, just look forward to it.

Rumor.

The monk who has taken the fruit of life and death, when his consciousness is dying, will see his true heart, his reluctance and obsession.

"People say I'm wrong, but I think it's right."

"But if that's right, then how can I get to such a field between me and Xu Ze?"

"If that's right, why do I feel guilty and blame myself every time I see Xu Ze and see that memory picture?"

"Maybe ......"

"Maybe at the moment of death, I can really see my true heart."

In a trance, Gu Wanqing muttered.

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her breath grew fainter and weaker.

Driven by instinct, no matter how hard she tried to open her eyes and beat her spirit, she still inevitably fell into darkness.

Immediately, pictures appeared in front of her eyes like a horse.

Gu Wanqing knew.

She is not looking at Xu Ze's memories, but looking back on her own past.

"Did you hear that? Xu Ze of the Xu family and Gu Wanqing of the Gu family have made a marriage contract! ”

"Really? That Gu Wanqing is a famous ugly girl. ”

"Not only is it ugly, but it is said that he can't cultivate, and he can only be a mortal in this life."

"Tut, then Xu Ze's appetite is too heavy, right?"

"This kind of woman, even if it is given to me, I don't want it!"

“……”

Noisy and harsh words kept pouring into Gu Wanqing's mind.

In this regard, she could only grit her teeth and bear all this silently.

Obviously she wanted to refute.

Obviously she wants to scold back!

Obviously, she wants to tell everyone that she and Xu Ze are truly in love!

Can......

She couldn't.

Because everything that the people around you say is the truth.

In the past, she was really not worthy of Xu Ze.

"Did you hear that? Xu Ze and Gu Wanqing seem to be getting married. ”

"Then Xu Ze is really brainless, he is really willing to marry an ugly girl."

"That's it! I'm against it! A dedicated man like Xu Ze can only be matched by a better woman! ”

"Why are you against it? Everybody's against it! It is said that in order to avoid making the marriage ugly, Xu Ze and Gu Wanqing plan to get married quietly! ”

"Tsk, do you still need to be quiet about marriage? This Gu Wanqing really affected Xu Ze a lot. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

“……”

More chatter rang out.

The words were full of praise for Xu Ze and mockery of Gu Wanqing.

Gu Wanqing, in the past, silently endured these words.

But at this time.

Maybe she has changed, or maybe she knows that she is going to die, so she doesn't vomit or be unhappy with many words in her heart.

After looking up suddenly, she looked at the pictures in front of her, at the group of strangers with playful expressions.

"Shut your mouths! What do you know? ”

"You only see Xu Ze's affection for me, when did you think about it, what did I bear in this relationship?"

"In the past, I was powerless to change this, but now it's different!"

"I'm Gu Wanqing! I have the posture of an empress! ”

"I will definitely ascend to the throne of God and prove myself, absolutely not as unbearable as you say!"

Rushing at the picture, Gu Wanqing almost screamed out of shape.

And at the moment when the words fell.

Bang –

All kinds of pictures in front of me were shattered in an instant.

When the noise died down, everything seemed so quiet.

The silence makes people panic and frighten.

Gu Wanqing relaxed her body and floated quietly in the dark.

She knew she was dying.

"You all say Xu Ze is good, can I not know?"

"You all say that Xu Ze is dedicated, can I not know?"

"But what can I do?"

"Once he concealed his talent and cultivation, it was like a shackle, firmly locking me, leaving me with no choice, let alone the courage to move forward."

"I just want to prove the emperor! I just want to prove that I'm not that bad! ”

"Is all this wrong?"

Looking at the darkness in front of her sluggishly, Gu Wanqing said sluggishly.

She doesn't understand.

In other words, I don't want to, and I don't want to understand.

Because she felt it faintly.

If I really understand, I am afraid that I will live in guilt for the rest of my life......

At this moment, the passage of vitality has come to an end.

After shaking her head, Gu Wanqing stopped thinking nonsense.

She closed her eyes and began to consolidate her Dao heart, waiting for her own death and life.

Faintly, another picture appeared in her mind.

It was a picture of the emperor.

Under the gaze of hundreds of millions of living beings, she dressed in imperial clothes, stepped across the divine bridge, and finally sat on the imperial throne that belonged to her.

It's a picture of her thinking about it and she's willing to give up everything for it.

Can.

In the picture, although she looks so beautiful and majestic, why did she lose her smile?

She didn't think deeply about this question.

Even because of instinctive resistance, and because she realized that her consciousness was about to be completely interrupted and fall into real darkness!

Oddly enough.

For the complete interruption of this consciousness, Gu Wanqing not only did not be afraid, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she wants to let go of herself, she doesn't want to be entangled in right and wrong, and she doesn't want to be entangled in what she used to be.

And this feeling of not having to think about anything, just concentrating on the emperor and the throne, made her feel extremely comfortable.

But!

She wants to let herself go, but there is a force in the dark that is unwilling to give up on her!

At the moment when Gu Wanqing's consciousness completely disappeared!

A magical force suddenly appeared!

This power seemed to be transformed into a big hand, and it actually fished her out of complete darkness!

When her mind became sober again, Gu Wanqing realized that she was actually in a familiar space!

Although the surroundings were still dim, whether it was the familiar feeling or the shining starlight around her, she instantly understood!

This is the space created by the system!

Gu Wanqing was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the situation.

She didn't do anything!

The "Life and Death Dao Fruit" that was targeted by the system and kept calling her to recharge was indeed eaten by her!

Why is she here?

"System? System? Gu Wanqing kept shouting.

She needs to figure it out!

Since the system calls her "host", you should follow her orders!

But why did the system repeatedly disobey her wishes? At this moment, regardless of her at the critical juncture of "life and death", he forcibly brought her here?

Did You Know?

If there is a problem between "life and death", she may die completely!

As for her incomprehension and call, the system quickly responded.

But this response is not an answer, but a ......

[Congratulations, you got a chance to watch memories for free]

[Coming to the memory screen, please get ready]

“……”

Looking at the words in front of her, Gu Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened, and her expression was unbelievable!

What kind of system is this? Ignoring her thoughts at all, she repeatedly forced her to watch Xu Ze's memories?

And is it in the situation that she is going through "life and death"?

At this moment, Gu Wanqing is sure and sure!

This system is trying to harm her!

Ex-wife, it can only be an ex-wife
