Beastmaster of the Ages

Eminent Jiguang’s gaze held complex emotions as she beheld the Blissful Union. She knew that, upon returning to the Suishen Cave, her father and brothers would learn that she was now a married woman. However, she couldn’t easily explain who her husband was.

It would inevitably make her a hot topic in Myriadpath Valley.

After a long time, she sighed, “Forget it, everything will eventually pass.” She held the hand of the woman with crimson hair beside her and looked at her with deep concern.

“Sister-in-law, I’m taking you home.” In the past, she had called her Sister Xiyue, but after becoming her sister-in-law, she’d slowly changed how she addressed her.

She was about to activate the myriadpath ring when the hand she was holding began trembling and the woman in front of her lightly fluttered her eyelashes, then suddenly opened her eyes. A pair of crimson red eyes, like rubies in the night, appeared before her.

“Jiguang....” The woman softly opened her vibrant red lips. As soon as she spoke, her eyes reddened with tears.

“Sister-in-law! Sister Xiyue!” Jiguang’s tears uncontrollably flowed.

The two stunning women tightly embraced each other, unwilling to part for a long time.

“Damn it! Damn him!” At that heartfelt moment, Suishen Jiguang suddenly heard an angry outburst, full of fury.

The curse, of course, came from Suishen Xiyue. Her eyes were ablaze with anger, her teeth were clenched, and her face radiated a cold, icy aura.

“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

“Sister Jiguang!” Suishen Xiyue grabbed her shoulders, fiercely glaring at her, and asked, “Your brother Ranxing cheated on me, and when I caught him, he felt no remorse. He tricked me into coming here so he could kill me!!”

Suishen Jiguang was stunned on the spot. That was something Suishen Yao had once bragged about. But even though she’d had her suspicions, she’d never really believed it.

Suishen Hongtian had also mentioned it, but the words of Suishen Ranxing’s rival were biased, so she didn’t believe him, either.

But now she had heard it straight from Suishen Xiyue herself! She was truly dumbfounded.

“My second brother.... Is, is it true?” Suishen Jiguang was devastated. She had two brothers. Suishen Hongtian had already stooped so low as to make her lose all faith, but her brother Suishen Ranxing, who’d always appeared upright and magnanimous, had committed such an atrocity. It was what Valley Lord Qitian had done before.

The difference was that the former had publicly sacrificed his wife, while Suishen Ranxing’s despicable act was bringing his wife to the Yin-Yang World.

“Sister, do you know how desperate I was at that time? He’s a scoundrel! A beast! He deserves to be chopped into pieces!” Suishen Xiyue fiercely stared at her, as if venting all her anger on her sister-in-law.

Suishen Jiguang truly couldn’t imagine how Suishen Xiyue’s husband had wanted to take her life for his mistress after she’d already given him a son and a daughter, and her youngest son had just been born....

All these years, Eminent Ranxing had played the role of a strict father, seemingly mourning his wife’s death. He still had a positive image in most people’s eyes, but very few people knew about his relationship with Yumo Lianqing.

Suishen Yao had uttered such words in anger before, but she had never expected it to be true. “My brother committed such an unforgivable sin!” Suishen Jiguang had been to the place where she was imprisoned and naturally knew how difficult it’d been for her all this time.

“If you hadn’t come, I never would’ve escaped that hell!” Suishen Xiyue took a deep breath, her eyes burning with the fire of a volcano about to erupt.

Suishen Jiguang grit her teeth. Thankfully, she had rescued her.

“How are Yaoyao and Little Zhao?” Suishen Xiyue’s tears flowed down.

“They’re doing well. I’ve always kept them safe....” Suishen Jiguang also shed tears.

“That’s good!” Compared to Eminent Jiguang, Suishen Xiyue’s gaze was much fiercer. In fact, much of Suishen Yao’s temper had come from her. She had been the Little Demon King of the previous generation in Myriadpath Valley; fierce and wild, she’d caused even more trouble than Suishen Yao did now. It wasn’t until she had married Suishen Ranxing that she began mellowing out a bit. Perhaps it was precisely that fiery nature that clashed with his, leading to their ultimate confrontation.

Knowing that her children were safe finally lifted the weight on her heart, but the rage and thirst for revenge within her heart continued uncontrollably growing. “This time, if I don’t kill that despicable beast, I, Suishen Xiyue, will write my name backward!” Hers was a century of hatred and a betrayal beyond forgiveness.

Suishen Jiguang knew exactly what kind of person she was. Once she said it, there was no turning back. She took a deep breath. To be honest, she was thoroughly disappointed with her family. She couldn’t forgive Suishen Hongtian, and now Suishen Xiyue couldn’t forgive Suishen Ranxing either.

They were both women driven by revenge. In the future, their family would surely be torn apart!

Suishen Xiyue coldly said, “This time, the one who might suffer the most will be your father! But why should women have to endure it while the evildoers go unpunished? I, Suishen Xiyue, will make that beast kneel before me and accept his death!”

Suishen Jiguang gazed at her. After a long time, she embraced her and said, “No matter what happens, I’ll stand by you.”

“With those words, it’s enough! Sister....” Suishen Xiyue ran her fingers through her hair. “Thank you for these past years. From now on, my life belongs to you.”

Suishen Jiguang looked at her, shaking her head. Her eyes were filled only with compassion.

***

In front of the Aurora Sea, a middle-aged man dressed in red and black robes stood there for a long time. Despite not being angry, his commanding presence made most in Myriadpath Valley silent and bow their heads before him. He was none other than Eminent Ranxing, the current master of House Suishen.

Before him, a pink-haired girl emerged from the Aurora Sea, her gaze dull and her hair messy. Though ethereal and youthful, she had lost her luster and appeared soulless.

“Yaoyao,” Suishen Ranxing called out in a deep voice.

Suishen Yao looked up, saw it was him, then turned and headed back into the Aurora Sea without a word.

“Death can’t be reversed. If you continue down this path of self-destruction, you’ll ruin yourself!” Suishen Ranxing said.

“Who said my aunt’s dead? Shut your mouth!” Suishen Yao glared at him with disgust before walking away.

Suishen Ranxing’s eyes burned even more intensely. As the leader of House Suishen, his daughter couldn’t speak to him like that no matter what. “Refusing to accept reality will only lead to your downfall. You’re a disgrace to my sister and your mother’s memories!” Suishen Ranxing coldly said.

At the mention of the two people, Suishen Yao’s eyes turned red and she looked back at him, coldly laughing, “Is that supposed to provoke me? Yeah, I’m a disgrace, so what? You’re embarrassed? Why don’t you just get rid of me? I’m not afraid to die.”

Before she could say another word, a slap on her face abruptly sent her flying.
