  Thank you dear: leen sent a flower, thank you dear: lndnsn sent a flower, Yanlei likes it very much, muah...

  Note: Many of you have expressed support for both 1v1 and NP, so I've decided to write a double ending to satisfy different tastes.

  ……

  The dark night, large patches of dark clouds are moving quickly in the high sky, the originally bright moon is sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, cutting off the soft moonlight.

  Under the dappled moonlight, undulating mountains rise like the back of a crouching beast, with bare branches stretching out like sharp arrows pointing straight at the sky, as if to tear apart the vast night sky.

  The night wind is cool, and the sky and earth are a vast expanse of solemnity and murder.

  Under the cold night sky, a strange scene is unfolding, just like the weather.

  Blood had congealed into dark red clots at the corners of his mouth and on his chest. His tattered clothes, covered in dust, fluttered in the strong gusts of wind. Someone stood barefoot, with bloodstained feet, on a precipice, motionless and silent.

  A pair of eyes, deep and icy cold, like a thousand-year-old frozen pool, shining brightly as if the nine heavenly stars, gazing into the distance. Following that, just a casual glance, yet it makes one's heart and soul shake violently, while that disheveled appearance is ignored by everyone.

  "Feng Qi Xie..."

  A sudden, cold shout, like a bolt of thunder tearing through the night sky, startled the birds in the forest into flight. In three or four strides, he closed in on Feng Qiyue's face, his eyes icy and menacing as he glared at her: "You damned fool, do you have any idea what you've just done? Huh?"

  It's obvious that these two are the evil and drunkard who escaped from Feng Mo Yan's hands! However, the two are now in a precarious situation, with a strong smell of gunpowder between them. If they're not careful, it'll ignite and explode.

  Feng Qi's innocent face rubbed his nose, and he said with great satisfaction: "What did I do? I saved your life! You should be thanking me quickly!"

  "Thank you? You saved my life?" The drunkard almost burst out laughing: "What did I say? Dead woman, those people all came to kill you, what's it got to do with me? Does my life need you to save it?"

  Suddenly, she grabbed him and ran away with her, dragging him into trouble. Now, she even had the nerve to claim that she was saving his life. He feared that if she continued to "save" him like this, he would end up losing his life instead. Glaring at Feng Qiniang's innocent-looking face in front of him, he felt like he was about to go completely crazy! His peaceful and quiet life had been utterly ruined by her! The house where they had lived together for so long, which held many fond memories, had been blown up. Even the wine jug that he treasured as his life had been used by her as a murder weapon to smash things! Now, he really regretted not strangling her to death early on.

  However... a bloody glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and it's not too late now, is it?

  "Although those people did come to kill me, but since you're here and witnessed their crime, do you think they'll let you go to prevent the secret from leaking?" Absolutely, they will silence you by killing you.

  Feng Qi looked at him faintly, actually she was also regretful, extremely regretful. She should have just escaped earlier! Why did she bring trouble to herself by bringing him along?

  Wouldn't it be better for him to die at the hands of Feng Mo Yan and others?

  I really regret it! Regret! It's simply a case of too late for regrets now.

  "Even so, I don't need you to meddle in my business, you damned woman! Since those people can't kill you, then let me help them out!" As he spoke, the bloodthirsty glint in his eyes flashed wildly, his face twisted into a grotesque grimace, and with a swift flip of his massive palm, he struck out at Feng Qiniu.

  Feng Qi's eyes widened in shock, the forced circulation of her qi earlier had worsened her already precarious injuries, if she suffered another severe blow, her life might be forfeit right there!

  At this moment, he saw a palm coming over, and she instinctively wanted to retreat and dodge. However, at this time, she forgot that there was a cliff under her feet. As she retreated, her foot suddenly felt empty, and in the midst of her "ah" cry of surprise, her body had already fallen down the precipice, accompanied by countless sand and stones, perhaps falling to the point of being smashed to pieces!

  "Hmph! Dead woman, now I don't believe you're not dead yet." A certain drunkard's sinister laugh and gossipy head peeking to see the outcome of a certain vicious woman falling down and getting smashed to pieces, it's truly exhilarating!

  However, as the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. Although he wasn't a cat, his fate was no better. Just as he poked his head out, a sudden flash of golden light appeared before him. Before he could retreat, he suddenly felt suffocated, his neck tightened, and his entire body was dragged towards the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he quickly grabbed onto a protruding rock on the cliff face, narrowly avoiding a fatal fall that would have left him shattered into pieces.

  "You... this venomous woman, quickly... let go..." His face was red and puffy, his breathing somewhat labored, one hand grasping the rock to suspend himself, the other hand desperately clutching at the golden thread around his neck.

  And looking down, a certain evil spirit was leisurely pulling on the golden thread, his body lightly swaying in mid-air, laughing so hard that he was almost breathless: "Let go? If I let go, won't I fall off? Am I stupid?"

  Although she was hit by Long Shaoxuan and didn't want to live before, it's different now! She wants to live a fulfilling life, and since she has been reborn after so much difficulty, she must do justice to herself.

  And the drunkard who was killed that day, actually wanted her life, how could she let him off easy? If it wasn't for herself being clever and wrapping the golden thread on her wrist around his neck in time, she would probably be dead by now.

  This chick is really ruthless.

  "You're going to strangle me to death, aren't you? You can't live like this either..." He struggled to finish these words, his two fingers moving in an attempt to break the golden thread around his neck, but he didn't know what material it was made of. It was so thin and small, yet incredibly resilient, and for a moment, he couldn't do anything about it, and he felt suffocated with rage.

  Feng Qiuxia didn't take it to heart, looked up with a small face, and smiled at him with an innocent and mischievous grin: "That's okay, anyway, even if you die, you'll die in front of me. Anyway, I wasn't planning on living either, seeking death was my original intention. Now that I have you as company, it's not bad. The road to the Yellow Springs won't be lonely anymore! How great!"

  He blew on the fingernails of his other hand, Feng Qiuye looked pleased with himself, and became a stark contrast to the wine ghost who was about to be choked to death.
