The fans were watching with great enjoyment.
"Qianhe in white, ethereal and graceful."
"Qianhe in red after becoming a demon, incredibly bewitching."
"The moment his crimson eyes locked onto mine, my heart skipped a beat. I'm not exaggerating, when he stared at me like that, my mind went blank."
"If it were me, I would have willingly sacrificed all my souls, wouldn't I?"
The fans were practically swooning from his handsomeness.
"He looks so good in historical costumes. Especially the white-robed sword immortal he appeared as at the beginning... the moment he materialized from a flying sword in the clouds, I felt like my soul had left my body."
"Little Ni Huang called him Master, and his cold demeanor... so aloof. Do you guys understand!"
Everyone heartily agreed.
"Yes, yes! The white-robed sword immortal and the white-robed goddess are truly amazing together, but the white-robed sword immortal and the green-robed young disciple are the most compatible. It awakened the DNA deep within me!"
"I just love master-disciple romances!"
"And stories about scummy masters and innocent disciples!"
"Also, when he turned demonic, his hands were trembling. Looking at her with those eyes, cutting off all love and affection, I just can't get enough."
"Even though I know he's a scumbag."
"Even though I know he's inhuman, I still want him to treat me terribly."
"Am I crazy?"
"Do I have Stockholm Syndrome?"
The fans were too crazy, being overwhelmed by this.
The phoenix does not die!
She finally awakened the world's strongest phoenix bloodline.
This time, she could ascend!
The day she ascended.
Mu Qing saw her.
He suddenly vomited blood.
She revealed the truth in front of him, saying she had reincarnated as a trash girl, become his disciple, and confessed that she had fallen for him once.
But he had personally severed that thread of affection, cutting it off cleanly.
She declared she would never forgive Mu Qing in any lifetime.
"I truly had feelings for you."
"But that flutter of the heart, it was just a dream. You cruelly shattered my adoration for you."
"Mu Qing, you be your world-conquering demon, and I'll be your Nine Heavens Phoenix Empress."
"In this life and all future lives, I will never forgive you."
He had extracted her essence blood and destroyed her foundation.
Yet, it was also because of him that she awakened and obtained the opportunity to ascend.
However, she would never love him again.
Mu Qing watched her ascend with his own eyes.
He wanted to chase after her but was severely injured by heavenly lightning. Under the barrage of thunder, his body was covered in wounds, and his eyes were crimson!
"Come back!"
"Ni Huang... please... please, don't hate me, okay?"
"I'm willing to endure a thousand heavenly tribulations... I'm willing to exchange all my spiritual bones for you... please... come back..."
His eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. The blood was scorching, like a red lotus, and he resembled a demon who had emerged from hell.
The once serene and peerless sword immortal.
Ultimately, due to obsession, he had transformed into a devilish fiend.
But he knew.
The lover he had lost.
Would never return.
He had once been so close to the one he loved.
But he had personally severed the threads of affection.
He could no longer have her!
The entire plot, up to this point, was a perfect female-empowerment story.
At this juncture of the story, the fans felt both agonizing pain and exhilarating satisfaction.
The agony was from the plot, and the thrill was from witnessing Qianhe's tear-filled, battered appearance.
"Why does Qianhe always play scumbags?"
"If this continues, I'm going to think he's just acting naturally, damn it!"
"Wuwuwu, but he acted so well! Give us more!"
"This feels like it could be a full-length movie!"
The fans' reactions were enthusiastic!
"Qian Mu CP, forever the best!"
"Seriously, can't you make Qianhe cry a little more? We love this kind of plot!"
