A beauty appeared before her eyes.
At this mont, Shang Ruyi was almost suffocating, yet she still gritted her teeth, gripping her hands tightly, driving her fingernails into her palms, using that piercing pain to force herself awake from the agonizing feeling of her soul seemingly being torn away from her body.
Then, she clearly saw the person in front of her.
This was a dazzling beauty, with striking and intense features, akin to a blooming peony, exuding an unrestrained and bold aura from her whole being, with deep eyes and a high nose, lips red as cherries, her laughter was not like the normal noble family young won who cover their mouths or smile without showing teeth; instead, she laughed freely and boldly, revealing a row of neat, snow-white teeth.
And this made her smile look even more dazzling, even—nacing!
Yu Mingyue, the person who had plotted multiple tis along the way, and almost led them to Hell, at this mont, finally appeared in front of her.
Completely standing on the stage!
At this mont, she was dressed in a moon-white long dress, enveloping her like a misty cloud, yet even such a light attire could not hide the aura around her, or conceal the sharpness of her eyes—that pair of deep, bright eyes, slightly raised at the corners, slanting into the temples, with a gazing down on all beings called eye expression, with just one glance, shattered Shang Ruyi’s spirit.
These eyes were unfamiliar.
Yet also familiar.
Shang Ruyi was all too clear, how close they had been once, how intimately they interacted, was beyond what people could imagine, it was under that struggling yet despairing, painful yet fierce gaze, that she tore away mories that could save her and her family.
"Young Madam Yu Wen."
The other suddenly spoke, this ti her voice was completely calm, even carrying a hint of laughter.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and also said: "Miss Yu."
Yu Mingyue slightly pursed her rosy cherry lips: "Am I what you imagined to be?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a mont, honestly said: "I did not expect."
Indeed, she did not expect, after realizing the origin of all this might stem from the river at the foot of Ban Yan Temple, and before sending Jiang Kesong to investigate the news, the "that person" in her heart never had a concrete form, every ti she thought of it, it was just a shadow almost virtual, shrouded in clouds and mist.
No matter what, she couldn’t have imagined it was such a woman.
Beautiful, bold, and, about the sa age as her.
No, not just similar age, though not having any evidence, Shang Ruyi could almost be certain that she was the sa age as her, maybe even, the sa year, month, and day of birth.
Seemingly very satisfied with what Shang Ruyi suggested "unexpected", Yu Mingyue smiled again, then said: "But you are what I imagined."
"Oh?"
"Because I have long thought, the two of us, must be of similar age, no, the sa age, and the sa year, month, and day of birth."
"..."
"The sa stature, physique."
"..."
"Only—"
"Only what?"
For the first ti, there was a trace of imperceptible bewildernt in Yu Mingyue’s naturally sharp eyes, she said: "You are more—more beautiful than I imagined."
This kind of complint, any woman, including Shang Ruyi, would love, but at this mont, Shang Ruyi couldn’t spare a bit of her mind to be happy, just courtesy raised the corners of her lips: "Thank you."
But then, a light flashed in her eyes.
What Yu Mingyue hadn’t finished saying, seed to make her feel sothing, and when she looked at the other again, even though her soul was still affected by the wounds in her mory, trembling greatly and fearfully, Shang Ruyi still gritted her teeth, enduring the chilling pain almost ripping her body apart, gazing directly into those sharp eyes: "So, the first ti you saw was not at Dayan Temple."
"..."
"Nor was it in Daxing City."
"..."
"Not even anywhere ’here’."
Yu Mingyue’s eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly smiling, but no hint of laughter was in them, when looking at Shang Ruyi, her gaze was icy cold, yet also conveyed a pain that couldn’t be expressed.
And Shang Ruyi’s gaze deepened a few degrees, facing what seed like unseen countless sharp blades thrusting through her body in the wind, she stepped forward a bit, even if just a step, this action still allowed her to be closer to the opponent ntally.
She said in a deep voice: "Isn’t it?"
"..."
Yu Mingyue still didn’t speak, her lips remained pursed.
Those eyes still showed no laughter, but the pain in them deepened.
Seeing her continuously reluctant to respond, a hint of impatience floated in Shang Ruyi’s eyes, she said sternly: "Just now, I guessed your true identity, you should tell your real background!"
"..."
This ti, a bit of laughter appeared in Yu Mingyue’s eyes, yet it was mocking, even disdainful laughter, she leisurely said: "You have indeed guessed it, but I did not agree."
"You—?!"
Shang Ruyi’s brows furrowed, her expression instantly sunk.
And Yu Mingyue continued to smile as she said: "Moreover, did you forget what I just said?"
"...What?"
"The two of us, are already life and death rivals."
"..."
"At such a ti, would you still trust what I say?"
Shang Ruyi glared at her: "You—"
Yu Mingyue smirked at her, clearly, word by word saying: "Actually, even if I never appeared, with your identity as ’Young Madam Yu Wen’, you should understand by now, between the two brothers they will certainly end in life and death struggle."
"..."
"But now, adding the two of us, the situation will be far more complex than you could foresee or imagine."
"..."
"So, I will give it my all."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi’s heart sank again, as if she felt an invisible pressure pressing down, making her breathing heavier.
"As for my background—"
Saying this, a certain confusion flickered over Yu Mingyue’s expression, a faint shadow seed to pass in her eyes, but that shadow quickly was dispelled by her familiar sharp gaze, Yu Mingyue looked up at Shang Ruyi again, coldly laughing: "That’s the past, the past is no longer important."
"..."
"What matters is here and now, and the future."
"..."
"I want him to have the most glorious future, the one that rightfully belongs to him! As for you—"
At this point, she looked at Shang Ruyi again, the even sharper gaze almost piercing through her, with a cold laugh said: "Your glory, I will also have!"
"...!"
At this mont, even though Shang Ruyi knew she was disadvantaged both ntally and currently, she was still provoked by her words, angrily said: "Can you get it?"
Yu Mingyue coldly laughed: "Do you think I cannot, Ming Yue Nu?"
