If possible zhou xuan wanted to close her ears and not listen. All the news were just horrifying news about destruction and death revolving around her family. Earlier she did ask for death but as she was near she realized she still had lingering feeling with life.
"Let's begin.. so as I told you your beloved song hui who was supposedly gone to become monk was shockingly found having intercourse with your dear aunt mu lian.
The officers from investigating department and royal guards found them humping like rabbits in song hui's villa outside the capital. They also reported how though caught song hui was still reluctant to part his body from mu lian.
Must say what a bewitching aunt you have.. it would have been better if you had learned bedroom matters from her. Oh .. not to forget before mu lian song hui was also humping with lots of his maid servants and even killing them like a maniac.
Emperor after learning the matter had both adulteres passed to qinwang for clean up. And guess what... right it was by my hands they were finished right above this place.." explains Yusheng with glee.
Zhou Xuan had look of disbelief, disgust and pain. Then she hears Yusheng saying there was a suprise for her. She then notices that behind the mirror a big white cloth was stretched covering something. She felt in her heart that it was something terrifying and true to her instincts when the cloth was removed scream of horror left Zhou xuan's mouth.
Yusheng felt her heart and soul soothing from Zhou xuan's scream. More of that coldness crumbling from her soul. She had moved away the cloth with her Qi to show zhou xuan her collection.
It was collection of heads in big jars filled with liquid. Zhou Xuan was screaming and crying even struggling to try and touch it. In those jars were her fathers, brothers, mothers, her mama, her aunt and finally song hui's head.
She wept from her heart, may be for the first time she didn't have any other emotions but sadness. Her wish right now was just to touch them for one last time, to hug them so with all her might she struggled to move forward but being chained she was unable to do so.
A hand difference just a hand distance was between her and the jars. She cries, tries to remove her schackles and finally slaps the ground for being unable to. Then mustering her energy she screams "why.. why did you do it?"
Yusheng calmly with her cold voice and aura pinning Zhou xuan's head replies "because you deserve it.. they all deserve it.. a life for life.
Zhou Xuan you all had similarly killed my dear ones, destroyed my home, my life. Like you I begged for mercy even death, cried tears of blood until my very soul freezed from your cruelties and injustice.
It's what you all owed me. I too had asked why? do you know what you said at that moment.. you said because you felt like it.. for your entertainment to ease your boredom.. zhou xuan each words you said back then I have remembered it well... every wounds you all have given me... my soul knows it well..
It brought me great joy and peace when these scums were reaped of their life. With each scum dying my soul was soothed. Now there's only you the greatest scum.. after your filthy life goes to hell probably my soul will heal.."
Zhou Xuan couldn't lift her head from the pressure but she could see from the corner of her eye that the person behind her was now right infront of her. If only she could lift her head she would see the person.
Yusheng laughs at her struggles "don't worry..it will be me that you will see before dying.. I want your dying eyes and soul to have my image imprinted."
Released from the pressure and jerks her head up to see that beautiful face which she hated to her bones. Her face ugly than a beast wanting to tear apart Yusheng if possible.
She didn't know what Yusheng was babbling about but she could feel immense hatred in her eyes. More than what she herself felt.
Yusheng smirks "confused..you will not be after this" she grabs her shriveled jaw and pour downs red liquid from a vial till the last drop. Zhou Xuan felt burning sensation from neck to her stomach as if knife was tearing her insides.
She curls her body with pain, her body trembles violently as if being shocked. Then she hears that dark cold voice whisper in her ear "you all owed me in my previous life.. zhou xuan i had promised you that if heavens allow me to return I will send you all to hell.. and heavens did allow me to return to have my justice.. you all never had a chance...I made sure of it from the moment I was reborn"
Yusheng stands up and smashes the jar pouring all the liquid and heads rolling out. She raises the heads above and finally with great force of Qi explodes them. Thin mist of blood rain down on Yusheng soaking her white robe to dark red.
She looked terrifying but still beautiful, then she turns to look at the horrified Zhou Xuan and smiling brightly "dont worry you too will be joining them soon...the drug I gave you after reaching each nerves will create great explosion..
just like the heads nothing shall remain..Wait for me to come hell, where I will kill you all again in the same brutal manner"
Zhou Xuan in her last moments saw herself peeking at song hui from behind her fathers leg's, her mother feeding her candy with her hand, her brothers carrying her to air making her laugh.
Then a totally foreign memory surfaced where she was standing.. laughing and torturing Yusheng.. taunting her.. and the moment when Yusheng had glared and promised to come back for revenge.
She was moving her lips but no sound came, she closes her eyes to see and remember her family and song hui for one last time yet she only had that glaring image of Yusheng reminding of her sins.
Finally her entire being explodes into thin mist. Yusheng felt the final layer of the coldness cracking and crumbling liberating her soul. Walking out she sees the sun above and relaxing her stiff shoulders she smiles and moves back to her villa.
