Chapter 271
Yu Xunge found the scene quite amusing. Yu Xunhuan was not the type to think that men shouldn’t cry; on the contrary, he was quite good at it. His crying performances were no worse than her own. Whenever he wanted, he could cry handsomely without anyone perceiving him as weak or vulnerable.
Those insincere tears came easily to him, but when he truly shed tears for Su Yitong, just a drop or two would fill him with shame and fear.
Yu Xunge calmly announced, “Well, she found them. All those troublesome things you mentioned, she found them all.”
**Chapter 351: The Chosen Son-in-Law**
She didn’t think Su Yitong was being greedy. Some people yearn for love because they’ve never received it, mistakenly believing that love is something extraordinary. But Su Yitong was different…
She had witnessed the changes in Su Yitong from her past life to this one. She had glimpsed Su Yitong’s unwillingness when facing the Su family. She had spent ten years living in the tower with Feng Meng. To her, Su Yitong didn’t lack the affection that the masses admired; rather, her lack of love stemmed from her loss of power.
That’s why Yu Xunhuan said Su Yitong “looked down on the love of the weak, while the love of the strong hurt her pride.” Because to Su Yitong, the former was useless, and the latter easily posed a threat.
What Feng Tang offered Su Yitong was more than just power and familial affection; it was the ability to control her own fate and a sense of fairness she had never experienced. Under absolute fairness, Feng Tang also transcended that fairness, giving her the preferential treatment she had longed for. She provided her with afternoon tea and declared, “From now on, the oak owl shall no longer be called by the name of mung bean.”
Yu Xunhuan said Su Yitong couldn’t articulate what she wanted; she only expressed a desire for what she deserved.
Feng Tang didn’t ask; she simply gave.
Su Yitong’s rebellion was almost a foregone conclusion.
—“Well, she found them. All those troublesome things you mentioned, she found them all.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Xunhuan’s twisted, grim expression momentarily blanked.
Yu Xunge’s face showed a hint of concern for Yu Xunhuan, but deep down, she was laughing. It was too funny. Not long ago, she realized that no one truly loved Yu Xunhuan, but now she discovered that he actually liked Su Yitong. He genuinely understood her.
In the past, she thought Yu Xunhuan was attracted to Su Yitong’s looks and her family background. But at this moment, as Yu Xunhuan spoke of Su Yitong with tears in his eyes, his accusatory tone revealed her deepest desires. She knew he liked her—he truly liked her. When he spoke of Su Yitong, there was hatred in his eyes, but also pity.
Yu Xunge’s understanding of Su Yitong was filled with coincidences. At this unique moment when Su Yitong severed her past, she appeared before her as “Feng Ran,” leading to an irreplaceable conversation.
Through various twists of fate, she caught a glimpse of a part of Su Yitong’s true self.
That was the first time she truly “knew” Su Yitong. But by the time she vaguely understood what kind of person Su Yitong had once been, Su Yitong had already “died” in the tower.
Yet Yu Xunhuan had always understood.
A love the size of a fingernail, perhaps mixed with resentment and the regret of not being able to retaliate, was hardly worth mentioning. It was like a lit match, its flame weak, burning for only a few seconds, illuminating nothing and warming no one’s hands or heart…
But Yu Xunge was certain that was all the sincerity Yu Xunhuan could muster.
She didn’t hide the fact that Su Yitong was still alive. She knew how to make Yu Xunhuan suffer more: the person he loved was reborn, returning to sever ties with the past, forgetting that he even existed… She didn’t even remember Yu Xunhuan’s full name!
Others might kill their wives to prove a point, but Su Yitong… Su Yitong was close to forgetting she had a husband with the surname Yu. The colors he left in her life were too faint. Even though this person had betrayed Su Yitong at a critical moment, he hadn’t left a mark in her heart.
Because he had never influenced Su Yitong’s character or life. He had nothing that Su Yitong yearned for, and he had never made her feel warmth or longing. So to Su Yitong, he was nothing!
Yu Xunge patted Yu Xunhuan’s shoulder and gently “comforted” him, “Don’t worry, she’s not dead. She’s gone to Zelan. Do you know why she had to kill the Su family? Because they represented her past. She wants to sever ties with it and embrace a new life.”
As for the fact that Su Yitong had long forgotten Yu Xunhuan’s name, she didn’t need to elaborate. Yu Xunhuan must have seen her dialogue interpretation and noticed the phrase “Yu something fruit.”
When Yu Xunge left the Su family, Yu Xunhuan seemed to lose his soul, sitting there in a daze.
Yu Xunge’s attitude toward Yu Xunhuan became more casual. She was no longer as tense as she had been when she first reincarnated. Back then, she felt that Yu Xunhuan, as the male lead, was like a destined character in a novel, impossible to defeat. Even if he were brought down, he would quickly rise again, returning with even greater strength. At that time, she had a weak mindset, so she was fearful and didn’t want him to discover her.
But after she stripped him of his talents, creating a rift between him and Su Yitong, and severing his ties with the Liang family, Yu Xunhuan was completely crippled.
He didn’t have Su Yitong’s ability to manage a team. The reason Su Langfeng kept suppressing Su Yitong was that in an era where power was paramount, once he allowed Su Yitong to gain power and gave her an opportunity, it would be difficult to reclaim the results as he could in peaceful times through shares and laws. He was afraid, so he didn’t dare give her even the slightest chance.
He also lacked Liang Yuchuan’s combat talent and indomitable spirit. Of course, this was also due to the excessive obstacles she placed in Yu Xunhuan’s path. Whether it was divine talent or attribute points, she had completely cut off his roots, unlike Liang Yuchuan, whose fundamental strength remained unshaken. She had the capital to start over.
She had been wrong. In the story of the chosen son-in-law, the true formidable enemies were never the brother-in-law with SS-level talent, but rather the carefully selected wives.
What’s this called? This is called the chosen son-in-law, each one stronger than the last!
Yu Xunge was ready to eliminate Yu Xunhuan at any moment; she was tired of this game.
She sent a private message to Liang Paozhou: “Eliminate the Blue City.”
After leaving the Su family, Tu Lan immediately asked, “Can we go to Zelan to find the oak owl now?”
Yu Xunge replied, “Are you in such a hurry?”
Tu Lan had been holding back for a long time: “Of course! What if Feng Ran devours you? She doesn’t want to share Feng Tang and Feng Cang with you, and I don’t want to share you with her either!”
Yu Xunge loved hearing this. She said, “Feng Ran, did you hear that?”
“I heard—” Feng Ran obediently replied, then cautiously asked, “The person who just spoke to you, do they like Feng Meng?”
Yu Xunge didn’t waste her breath arguing with Feng Ran about whether it was Su Yitong or Feng Meng; that question held no significance for her. She said, “Maybe.”
Similarly, whether Yu Xunhuan’s feelings were genuine or not didn’t matter.
He might truly understand Su Yitong and like her, but if Su Yitong were still alive, the affection he offered would certainly not be the kind she desired.
Understanding someone and ultimately deciding how to approach them are two different matters.
He knew Su Yitong looked down on the love of the weak and rejected the condescension of the strong, yet he still sought to seize the black jade. What was his aim? Simply to offer his affection from the position of a victor.
Yu Xunge didn’t explain much to Feng Ran. She took Feng Ran and Tu Lan straight to Zelan, beginning her search for the oak owl, who possessed an S-level divine talent.
**Chapter 352: Are You Looking for the Way Home?**
Although “I said the cotton candy isn’t expired, so it isn’t expired” was still cooling down, they could start searching now. Once they found their target, investigating and making plans would take time.
As usual, she combined her disguise skills with “Golden Killer.” Previously, it was to conceal her identity as a Blue Star person. Now, although she had the Wings of Light, walking in Zelan would have her mistaken for an oak owl. However, the reactions of those oak owls who tried to capture her after she ascended the tower clearly indicated they believed she was connected to the missing Yue Sha.
Not to mention that these orange-red wings could attract Feng Cang and Feng Tang at any moment; she had to disguise herself.
Perhaps having grown accustomed to life with wings in the tower, Yu Xunge now preferred flying over walking. Thus, her disguise instinctively took the form of an oak owl.
In truth, she didn’t hold high hopes for her disguise. As long as Feng Ran was with her, Feng Tang and Feng Cang could likely find her at any moment. They could spend three hundred years changing a person for Feng Meng; how could they allow the resurrected “Feng Ran” to go missing?
When she escaped the tower with Feng Meng, Feng Cang didn’t pursue them relentlessly, which was enough to show that he was confident he could find “Feng Ran” and Feng Meng whenever he wanted.
Today was still the 15th. Feng Tang was at the world battlefield and not in Zelan, making it the safest day.
Yu Xunge didn’t dare go to Extreme Day City or Extreme Night City; instead, she went to Four Seasons City.
At this time, it was noon in Blue Star Huaxia, but Four Seasons City had a time difference. This moment was just the autumn afternoon. As Yu Xunge passed by the bird’s nest near the teleportation array, she couldn’t help but take a peek inside. She quietly asked Feng Ran, “If I resurrect you directly, will you take away the orange-red wings?”
Feng Ran replied, “Yeah, that’s why I said we could go to the bird’s nest to make a vow. That way, I can help you grow brand new orange-red wings. It’s the simplest and most efficient way. I get a little profit, and you win big.”
