Zhu Ziyan said quietly, "Back then, your master, Qu Mo, met both me and that woman at the same time."

"At that time, we were still sharing the same body."

"However, we also had ways to make Qu Mo only see our faces and not our bodies."

"You don't have to doubt that the reason that woman and I could serve as Holy Virgins and control the Reincarnation Department for so many years is because we naturally knew how to conceal our flaws."

"Those days were so hard!"

Zhu Ziyan sighed and said, "People always like to worship beautiful things. Whether it's gods or immortals, you have to have a beautiful appearance first for people to like you. If you have a stunning beauty that surpasses all others, even if you do nothing, you are still a god."

"If that woman and I were to show ourselves in our true forms, we would only be regarded as monsters."

"So, we thought of many ways to cover up our flaws. We had as many as ten doubles."

"Most of the time, we would use secret arts to conceal ourselves. When we were forced to, our doubles would come forward."

"Okay! Let's not talk about these."

Zhu Ziyan changed the subject, "At first, that woman and I both fell in love with Qu Mo, but Qu Mo only loved that woman. The way he looked at me was only distant and disdainful."

"In his eyes, women who cultivate charm techniques never knew what love was, only methods. Whether it was talking about love or keeping a distance, it was all a means for us to control men."

Zhu Ziyan said quietly, "At that time, I always felt that I couldn't get Qu Mo because I couldn't show myself in my true form. If I had the chance to stay by his side, Qu Mo would definitely be mine."

"That woman once made a bet with me!"

"She said that even if the two of us separated our bodies, and then let you borrow my identity and act freely, you still wouldn't get Qu Mo."

"I bet with her and let her cut off my head. I forcefully seized my double with my soul, and stood in front of Qu Mo completely."

"At that time, I happily thought that I could be with the person I loved. Unexpectedly, he recognized me as Zhu Ziyan at a glance."

Tears flashed in Zhu Ziyan's eyes, "Do you know what is the most tragic thing for a woman?"

"It's not that the person you love doesn't have a place for you in their heart."

"But that when your heart is full of him, he only has vigilance and contempt for you."

Zhu Ziyan smiled bitterly, "I've always wanted you to call me 'Shiniang' (martial aunt/master's wife), just to satisfy a little bit of my self-deceiving vanity!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask, "Back then, was it you or Zhu Zining who stole the Ghost King's relic?"

Zhu Ziyan smiled miserably, "At that time, I was rejected by Qu Mo, and when I heard the news that he had killed his way into the Iron Tile Temple to marry Zhu Zining, I spent my days drowning my sorrows in alcohol. How could I have the mind to deceive him?"

"It's ridiculous that when Qu Mo rushed into the Reincarnation Department for revenge, he kept saying he was looking for Zhu Ziyan, haha..."

"Even at this point, Qu Mo still didn't believe me!"

Zhu Ziyan wiped away her tears as she laughed, "Qu Mo was defeated by that woman, and it was then that he saw the truth."

"In the end, it was I who let Qu Mo go, but he didn't say a word to me! That was the only time he mistook me for that woman. He thought it was that woman who let him go."

"His self-created saber technique, 'Past,' also doesn't have my shadow."

"But I can't watch his only disciple die in front of me, even if his disciple hates me as much as he does, haha..."

"Tell me, isn't it very funny?"

I looked at Zhu Ziyan, who was crying and laughing, but didn't know what to say.

Ye Yang quietly sent me a voice transmission, "Be careful, she may be using charm techniques."

Is it a charm technique?

I don't think so!

Perhaps, that was the only time I saw Zhu Ziyan's true feelings revealed!

I said faintly, "How did you get close to Wu Yongsi?"

Zhu Ziyan said, "Wu Yongsi said: He could give me a new look, a new body, as long as I offered flowers to the Mountain God as the legends say."

"Wu Yongsi is terrible. His ability to plot against his opponents is no weaker than that woman's!"

"Wu Yongsi has been locked up by us for so many years, and he has already figured out many things without making a sound. He knows that both that woman and I want to reshape our bodies. This is our obsession."

"Although I can seize bodies, the bodies I seize always have flaws."

"When Wu Yongsi was bewitching me, I was really moved."

"However, it was only moved."

Zhu Ziyan didn't seem to want to say too much to me. She smiled when she got here, "Okay, my story is over! For the rest of the time, it's up to you to make your own decisions again."

"I still have that same saying. My only wish is to see Qu Mo again."

"Otherwise, I won't be reconciled."

I was silent for a moment before saying, "You rest well! We'll set off tomorrow morning."

After Zhu Ziyan returned to her room, Ye Yang sat opposite me and sent me a voice transmission, "Do you believe Zhu Ziyan's words?"
