Chapter 264: 243: She became the Divine Thief for my sake. Wen Renche’s gaze, to Shi Wei, was an enormous provocation, making him want nothing more than to carve out those phoenix-like eyes with a knife. When Wen Renche was half-dead, Shi Wei would crush him underfoot, looking down on him with the arrogance of conquering the world. Wen Renche disregarded the blatant emotions Shi Wei displayed on the surface and turned away, walking two steps back. He grasped a corner of the wallpaper printed with a sky full of stars and yanked downward: "And what about this?" "Rip—" A faint sound of tearing echoed. The wallpaper split into two, drifting lightly to the ground. The fully adorned wall revealed itself before Shi Wei, and each image was one he knew far too well. The Shen Family’s stolen Han Palace Spring Tour Painting, the Luo Family’s stolen baby playing with Doucai porcelain, the Xiao Family’s stolen Thousand Mountains and Hundred Tales... Except for the Ru Kiln Sky Blue Glaze Plum Blossom Wash he had gifted, every single treasure stolen by Prince of Divine Thief was now displayed in another form. "Ah-Shi has always known I love porcelain and masterful paintings." Wen Renche leaned against the wall, his slender fingers stroking the picture frame. He lowered his gaze, his lashes brushing faintly over the beguiling tear mole at the corner of his eye: "Prince of Divine Thief is quite famous in the Imperial City." Shi Wei’s heart grew cold. An indescribable sense of powerlessness chased him like a raging flood, ready to engulf him entirely. The veins on the back of his clenched fist bulged grotesquely, threatening to burst like fragile blood vessels under pressure. "Mr. Shi, Ah-Shi became Prince of Divine Thief for me." Wen Renche smiled indulgently. He gazed at Shi Wei with his usual calmness, but the smile on his face suddenly turned malicious. "I’m not the only one who fell for her." A mocking chuckle pierced Shi Wei’s ears. It was as though a slumbering demon deep within Shi Wei had woken, dragging him uncontrollably into the abyss cloaked in whirling darkness. He raised a tightly clenched fist and, without hesitation, swung it with all his strength at Wen Renche’s face. "She is mine." Shi Wei grabbed Wen Renche by the collar, his peach blossom eyes instantly turning blood-red. Like fine needles encased in winter ice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness that pierced Wen Renche’s body. As someone who had survived fire and bullets, Wen Renche could never be someone to yield quietly. He immediately retaliated with his elbow, hitting back with a force even crueler than Shi Wei’s: "What you say doesn’t matter." The two quickly descended into a brawl. The few remaining chairs and stools in the room toppled messily to the side, generating deafening noise one after another. Neither showed any intention of backing down, each move aimed to put the other into peril, as if they wouldn’t stop until one of them was dead. "Bang—" The easel was caught in the fray. The exquisitely beautiful landscapes floated down slowly, eventually landing by their feet. "Shi Wei, those are Ah-Shi’s paintings!" Wen Renche shouted at the perpetrator, angrier than when Shi Wei had punched him earlier. Briefly shoved away, Shi Wei’s demeanor gradually returned to normal, the blood-red in his eyes slowly fading. He stared at the dirty footprints on the paintings, suddenly flustered, and was just about to squat down— Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Renche carefully, almost reverently, cradling those paintings as if they were treasures. A fresh surge of fury bubbled up from Shi Wei’s heart. Straightening his rumpled suit jacket, Shi Wei shot Wen Renche a deep, penetrating glance: "Next month, I’ll send you a wedding invitation."
