Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

118: HeartbrokenTime passed as swiftly as a white steed glimpsed through a crack. The heavenly screen seemed to accelerate under a mysterious force, and in the blink of an eye, a month had quietly slipped by.

During this month, Dongfang Longji grew increasingly satisfied with his Wife-Lord.

He discovered that she was not only gentle and kind but also cared for him deeply, making him feel an unprecedented happiness.

However, at this very moment, his good friend Liu Hekuan also got married.

This news came as a surprise to Dongfang Longji, but he was also happy for his friend.

Dongfang Longji had originally planned to travel to the borderlands with his Wife-Lord to experience different customs and cultures.

But when he proposed this idea to his Wife-Lord, Hao Ge indicated that she did not intend to take him along.

Dongfang Longji felt as if struck by lightning. He widened his eyes, looking at Hao Ge in disbelief, tears welling up in his eyes. His voice choked slightly as he asked, ”Wife-Lord, you... are you planning to take someone else to the borderlands?”

Seeing this, Hao Ge nodded gently, confirming Dongfang Longji’s suspicion.

Dongfang Longji’s heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a heavy hammer, shattering into countless pieces in an instant.

His tears burst forth like a breached flood, surging uncontrollably. ”Wife-Lord! I thought you liked me, but it seems I was just being presumptuous!”

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, his emotions growing more intense. ”You’d rather take someone else than me, your Primary Husband. Are you tired of me? Want to try something new?”

Dongfang Longji felt as if his world had collapsed at this moment. He couldn’t accept the fact that his Wife-Lord wouldn’t take him to the borderlands, nor could he bear her neglect of him.

”Go away!” Dongfang Longji mustered all his strength to shout these words at Hao Ge, then turned and left, leaving behind a heartbroken figure.

Hao Ge watched Dongfang Longji’s retreating figure, feeling a surge of guilt in her heart.

She knew her decision had hurt Dongfang Longji deeply, but she had also acted out of concern and care for him.

Hao Ge quickly caught up to Dongfang Longji, grabbed his hand, and gently comforted him, ”How could I not know you’re so jealous?”

She gently stroked Dongfang Longji’s face, wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, and continued, ”Isn’t this for your own good? The borderlands are harsh and the journey is long; you wouldn’t be able to handle it. And who said I don’t like you? But I have needs too. With them, it’s just to satisfy some of my physical needs.”

”But you, you’re the one I hold in my heart!” Hao Ge soothed Dongfang Longji.

Perhaps because of the favor Hao Ge had shown him over the past month, his courage had gradually grown.

He was no longer as cautious as before but dared to express his true feelings.

”But I’m just this petty. I want your heart and body to belong to me alone. I’m just jealous! If you’re dissatisfied with me, just divorce me!” Dongfang Longji’s words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Hao Ge’s heart.

The other Servants present trembled in fear upon hearing these words. They kept shouting in their hearts: Primary Husband, how dare you be so bold? Don’t you want to live? Since ancient times, jealous men have never come to a good end!

After saying these words, Dongfang Longji himself realized how bold his words were.

He knew that if these words got out, he would surely end up in a miserable fate, forever accompanying the dim lamp and ancient Buddha.

However, Hao Ge did not immediately respond to Dongfang Longji’s words. She just stared at him fixedly, then sighed helplessly, ”You, aren’t you afraid these words will get out? How will you survive then?”

Hao Ge’s tone held both reproach and a hint of helplessness.

She didn’t understand Dongfang Longji’s feelings. Isn’t this just how the world is?

But she also felt he was being too impulsive and irrational.

Then, Hao Ge added, ”Moreover, if you were pregnant and couldn’t engage in marital relations, would I have to endure it all the time?”

Upon hearing Hao Ge’s words, Dongfang Longji flew into a rage. He widened his eyes, glaring at Hao Ge, and shouted loudly, ”Why do you always think with your lower body? Do you even have a heart?”

Hao Ge frowned tightly, her face filled with anger as she said to Longji, ”Longji, listen to me! Not everyone can tolerate your personality like I do! If it were someone else, you would have been divorced long ago!”

”I know you like me, but that doesn’t mean I have to suffer for it!”

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Dongfang Longji’s heart, making him feel as if his heart had been torn apart, the pain unbearable, as if the entire world had collapsed at this moment.

”Suffer? My marrying you makes you feel like you’re suffering?”

Dongfang Longji’s voice trembled with anger. He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Hao Ge, ”In the end, you just don’t love me at all! That’s why you can so recklessly get involved with other men, completely disregarding my feelings!”

Dongfang Longji’s emotions completely spiraled out of control at this moment. Like a frenzied beast, he roared at Hao Ge, ”Get out! From now on, I’ll stay alone in this courtyard. Don’t ever come back! Seeing you makes me sick!”

Hao Ge trembled with anger, the veins on her forehead bulging. She roared furiously, ”My genuine affection for you is not a reason for you to act so recklessly! If you don’t rein yourself in, even with your illustrious family background, it won’t save you! You’d better calm down!”

After saying this, Hao Ge fiercely flicked her sleeve, turned, and left without looking back, leaving Longji alone, filled with pain and regret.

Dongfang Longji watched her fade into the distance until she disappeared from sight. His body suddenly lost its support, and he collapsed to the ground.

His gaze became empty and lifeless, as if the entire world had drifted away from him at this moment.

”Heh,” he laughed self-mockingly, the laughter revealing endless sorrow and disappointment. ”Indeed, all women in the world are the same—three husbands, four attendants, unable to control their lower bodies. I thought she was different...”

He muttered to himself, the pain in his heart surging like a tide.

He had placed so much hope and expectation in her, thinking she would be the one who was different, the one who could spend her life with him.

However, reality cruelly told him how naive and laughable his thoughts were.

”I was just too naive after all...” Dongfang Longji shook his head with a bitter smile, tears swirling in his eyes but stubbornly refusing to fall.

The Servants nearby, seeing Dongfang Longji in such pain, felt heartbroken and hurried forward to console him, ”Primary Husband, why must you be like this? Most women in this world are like this. Which one would stay faithful to just her Primary Husband? Please don’t be so sad...”

However, Dongfang Longji couldn’t hear the Servants’ comfort. He waved his hand, signaling them to leave. ”Go. I want to be alone.”
