Chapter 85: The Cancellation of the Engagement between the Lings and Dus

Ling Xiaoxuan looked indifferent as she gazed at Du Changheng, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Regardless of the relationship between the scholar and the princess in the previous life, Du Changheng's entanglement with the member of the adventure and supernatural team, Xiaomei, was enough to completely ruin the engagement between the Lings and Dus.

Ling Xiaoxuan's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. "Du Changheng, I brought you into the adventure and supernatural team, and I can take you out today. Your parents are waiting for you at the reception center in Qishan. After we descend the mountain, I will inform my family to cancel the engagement between our two families."

"Thank you, thank you Xiaoxuan!" Du Changheng couldn't hear anything beyond being able to leave this cursed place.

He walked towards Ling Xiaoxuan like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving board. A strange red light flashed in his eyes, with an expression that expressed his hopes for survival.

As he was about to pass by Qin Ruan, she swung her hand and struck the back of his neck.

Du Changheng widened his eyes in fear. He slowly turned his head, his lips still parted, but he fell straight to the ground, completely unconscious.

Qin Ruan stood with her hands at her sides and gave Ling Xiaoxuan, who was clenching her fists tightly, a reassuring smile.

She then turned around and shrugged her shoulders at Ling Feng, who was standing in front of her. "Believe it or not, I won't let him die here since his fate is tied to a friend of mine."

"If you're lying to me, I'll end up worse off than before," Ling Feng replied.

Qin Ruan thought for a moment before asking, "You've hidden in the deep mountains and forests for so many years. Don't you want to see what changes have happened in the world over the past few centuries?"

"What do you mean?" Ling Feng asked.

"You can keep an eye on him with your own eyes," Qin Ruan said, pointing to Du Changheng, who was lying on the ground unconscious.

"I can," Ling Feng agreed, unable to refuse. Qin Ruan's abilities were far beyond hers, and she possessed the power of the hellfire that could turn her to ash.

Such power could only be possessed by the Lord of the Underworld.

Although it was unclear what Qin Ruan's true abilities and identity were, from the little display of her skills, Ling Feng knew that if he were to confront her, he would be nothing but a toy for her to practice on.

Since she couldn't win, she could only comply with the arrangement.

Qin Ruan took two steps forward and reached out her hand to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was puzzled, "What is this for?"

Qin Ruan replied, "I want the handkerchief in your hand."

The handkerchief in question contained several hundred years' worth of malicious energy, which was the greatest reward for Qin Ruan tonight.

However, if she wanted to collect this malicious energy, she needed the owner's permission.

Ling Feng lowered her eyes and stared at the light-colored handkerchief tightly held in her hand.

The handkerchief was a token of affection between Ling Feng and the scholar; she had personally embroidered it and given it to him on the day they became a couple.

This also led to the tragedy that followed.

When the princess killed Ling Feng, she threw the handkerchief by her side and displayed a smug expression on her face, spewing out disdainful remarks.

It was nothing more than accusing Ling Feng of being promiscuous and wanting something that didn't belong to her.

After her soul was separated from her body, Ling Feng endured the excruciating pain and took the handkerchief with her.

After learning the truth, she wanted to throw away the handkerchief several times, but the hatred in her heart prevented her from doing so.

The karma of the world was already predetermined, and she believed that there would be a day of retribution.

Hundreds of years had passed, and her enemy had reappeared.

She could finally take revenge.

The handkerchief that had been by her side for hundreds of years, which always made Ling Feng feel heartbroken and in pain, was handed over to Qin Ruan without hesitation.
