Chapter 122 - 126: Sister, You—

Chapter 122 - 126: Sister, You—"Chen Mo..." Watching as a stream of blood sprayed out, Die's expression filled with panic and despair. Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes. Ignoring her own exposed, delicate body, she hurriedly got down from the bed. She caught the collapsing Chen Mo in her arms, one hand pressing desperately against his wound as she frantically checked his injuries. But this scene only made Queen Medusa even more furious. The seven-colored serpent-shaped longsword appeared once again in her hand. Her expression turned icy cold once more. Taking a step forward, she pressed the tip of her sword against Chen Mo's throat and said chillingly, "I warned you. If you dared to touch another woman after agreeing to be with me, I would kill you, you faithless bastard, and sever your head from your body." "Agreed? Faithless? Sis... Sister, what are you saying?" Die's body trembled. The shock on her face quickly turned to disbelief. She wasn't a fool. From their earlier words, their expressions, and the looks in their eyes, she had more or less pieced things together. But... But you are my sister! My real, blood-related sister! How could you, knowing about my relationship with Chen Mo, still... still... Die was on the verge of breaking down. Her tearful eyes stared at her sister as the bottle of medicinal pills she had retrieved from her storage ring slipped from her hand, clattering onto the ground. She needed to hear it—straight from her sister's mouth. "I'm sorry, little sister," Queen Medusa said, her voice low, finally confessing the truth she had intended to reveal. Her eyes closed slightly in guilt. Her heart was filled with deep remorse. For him, Queen Medusa had been prepared to come clean to her little sister, to reveal her relationship with Chen Mo, even at the cost of enduring misunderstanding and suspicion from their people. Even at the cost of betraying her own sister. Yet now, he had betrayed her first. "Sister, you—" Hearing these words, Die's eyes filled with a mix of shock and rage. Her trembling hand pointed at her sister, but she couldn't force the words out. Her heart shattered. The two most important people in her life had been deceiving her behind her back... Worse yet, they both knew and still hid it from her. She had been betrayed by those she trusted most. Shaking her head in denial, she covered her mouth with her arm as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, her gaze never leaving the sister she had trusted so deeply. She desperately wanted to scream at her: Why? I was the one who loved him first! Why did you steal him from me? And Chen Mo—she wanted to question him too. Why?

My sister is my only family in this life, yet while loving me, you turned around and fell for her as well? No wonder... No wonder he had been asking those strange questions a few days ago. The person he was referring to had never been Yue Mei—it was her sister all along. "Uh... you... you two, don't cry. It's all my fault. If you need someone to blame, just blame me," Chen Mo desperately tried to salvage the situation. At this point, the only tactic left was to play the part of the pitiful victim. As he spoke, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. "You're all liars! All of you!" "Uwah—" Die, in no state to listen, could only sob, letting out a heart-wrenching wail. "Die, darling, don't cry. And you too, Queen, darling... if you cry like this, it'll just..." Chen Mo coughed violently, blood spurting out again. "You... are you alright?!" Despite her grief, Die couldn't help but worry when she saw his state. "I'm... fine... cough, cough..." Chen Mo coughed violently once more. But Queen Medusa showed no mercy. The serpent-shaped sword pressed harder against his throat, the sharp blade cutting a bloody line across his skin. "Speak. Any last words?" Her voice was cold and emotionless, as though she might truly be ready to sever his head. "Sister, no!" Die rushed to shield Chen Mo. From the look on her sister's face, she could tell she was genuinely furious. "Queen, darling, I'm sorry. I truly love you. But I also love Die. I won't give up on either of you. If killing me will ease the hatred in your heart, then go ahead!" Chen Mo declared his resolve and feelings once more, fully prepared to face death. But deep down, he was gambling—betting that Queen Medusa wouldn't actually do it. "Then let this queen fulfill your wish!" Queen Medusa lifted her sword, and a dazzling seven-colored radiance burst forth from the blade. She thrust the sword down mercilessly! "NO!" Die's face went pale with fear. She let out a shrill cry, instinctively lunging to block the strike. But how could she possibly be faster than Queen Medusa's sword? Clang! Instead of piercing Chen Mo, the sword stabbed deep into the ground beside him, sending stone and dust flying. "Get out. Get out of the Snake-people Tribe. Leave the Tagor Desert. This queen never wants to see you again." A single teardrop slid from Queen Medusa's eye, landing silently on the blade of her sword. In the end, she still couldn't bring herself to kill him. Turning away, she refused to look at him again. "Queen..." Chen Mo called out softly. "Don't call me that!" Queen Medusa cut him off sharply before he could say more. Seeing this, Chen Mo coughed up another mouthful of blood. Queen Medusa remained unmoved. "You have one hour. Leave with your dignity intact. Otherwise, I'll personally throw you out." "Sister, maybe we can—" Die couldn't bear to see him like this and tried to plead for him. But Queen Medusa cut her off coldly: "Sister, forgive me. We'll talk later, in private." In the end— Chen Mo still had to leave the Tagor Desert. He was literally driven out by Queen Medusa. Watching her retreating figure, Chen Mo shouted: "Queen, darling, I'll come back! When I do—" "When you do, it will be the day you die. If you dare set foot in the Tagor Desert again, I will kill you without hesitation." Before he could finish, Queen Medusa's cold voice cut him off. Her figure disappeared from his sight. Chen Mo stared at the empty horizon and murmured, "I will come back. And it won't be long. When I return, I'll keep you by my side—no matter what." With that, Chen Mo left. After recovering from his injuries in Desert City, he began traveling towards the imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire. Next time we meet, I'll make sure to have you beneath me once more! In the depths of the void— Pfft! Watching Chen Mo's departing figure, Queen Medusa suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her flushed eyes became moist once again, and large tears began to fall slowly down her enchanting face. Yet before the tears could hit the ground, the wind dried them on her cheeks, leaving behind two distinct tear stains. She kept asking herself over and over: Why? Why? Why did it have to come to this? Jia Ma Empire Wu Tan City "Xiao Yan, Dou Zhe, High Rank!" At the square beside the testing monument, a middle-aged man, glancing at the information displayed on the stone tablet, announced excitedly. **** If you want to support me or read advanced Chapters (21+), consider checking out my pat. patr*on.com/Salsita2k
