Chapter 1024 Skinning Knife
A powerful force pulled at Li Mingzheng's body, making it as soft as clay and stretching like putty, as it spun and flew toward Su Yue's palm.

Li Mingzheng looked at Su Yue's face with his face stretched into a thin mask. He saw that she had no emotion at all, as if she was doing a job that did not require any effort or attention.

A profound sadness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and the happy moments he had shared flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

I watch her live streams, watch her movies, acted alongside her a long time ago, and talk about her with my friends.

His mind became hazy, and in his daze, he saw a very clear scene: it was the first time he met Su Yue on the film set, and the director introduced her to him.

He saw himself in the image, saw the fake expression on his face, and also remembered what he was thinking at the time.

Don't... don't go near her. If you can't fly, even if someone gives you wings made of wax, you shouldn't go near the sun; it will only hurt you.

This thought seemed to be heard by another version of himself, who saw himself in the image looking in his direction.

Then, instead of greeting Su Yue, the other self turned around and walked back to the dressing room.

This time, he didn't try to chat up Su Yue like he had before.

The fantasy life flashed quickly before Li Mingzheng's eyes. He saw himself acting with Su Yue, but he didn't confess his feelings again, and he never once took the initiative to invite her out in private.

He realized he wanted to hurt the female fan, but suddenly felt that the behavior was so ugly and dirty, so he never did it again.

He saw that his acting skills were no longer good, that he was getting older day by day, that he was losing popularity, and that he was no longer able to inherit his father's company. After receiving a large sum of money, he was kicked out of the industry. Then he married his assistant who liked him and had children.

He became a has-been star, making a living by filming ordinary scripts, taking on supporting roles, and starting to act as a green leaf, a foil, and a stepping stone for newcomers.

Many years later, he was inexplicably called a veteran actor, and his career improved slightly. However, having experienced a low point, he had long since become indifferent and at peace with these accolades.

He sat on the sofa in the villa, watching TV with his son, showing Su Yue ten years in the future, now a world-class superstar.

He wanted to tell the child, "Your father acted with this auntie before."

But when the words were about to come out, he ultimately couldn't say them.

But suddenly, the host on the screen asked, "In the early years of your career, who was the actor who impressed you the most?"

On the screen, Su Yue said, "The actor who impressed me the most? Hmm? Brother Mingzheng, I guess. Brother Mingzheng is very polite, and he's very tactful in our interactions. He's also very hardworking, and his acting has become amazing!"

"Dad, you've already acted in a movie with her!" the son exclaimed.

He stood frozen on the sofa, tears streaming down his face.

Ah...so that's it.

It turns out that staying away prevents drifting apart.

This is the best ending for them.

If only I had known...

"It's done!"

Su Yue squeezed and condensed Li Mingzheng's last bit of flesh and blood, as well as all his remaining desires, into the weapon before her, and the weapon forging was finally completed.

The skinning knife has a strange, irregular, wavy shape. The wavy edges on the back of the blade are very sharp, like lightning, while the blade itself is smooth.

The blade is an opaque pure red, while the handle is made of an unknown bone-white material.

It doesn't necessarily have to be bone, because desire is involved, so even substances that don't exist in the human body can become the material for a knife, just like this blade is entirely metallic.

Su Yue gripped the hilt, frowning in confusion. "Strange, this feels... different." The curvature of the hilt was very uncomfortable to hold; the ergonomics were terrible, and it was quite uncomfortable to hold.

But in Su Yue's memory, the handle of the skinning knife that Li Mingzheng transformed into perfectly matched the curve of her fingers and the shape of her hand when she shook hands, as well as her habit of exerting force, so that the pressure on every part of her skin was exactly the same.

Although the knife handle, which fits perfectly in the palm of her hand, was very convenient, it made her feel even more disgusted and repulsed when using it, so she never used it again after using it once.

However, the hilt that Li Mingzheng had refined was extremely uncomfortable to hold. It wasn't a matter of whether it fit or not; it was more uncomfortable to hold than a regular standard-issue knife, as if she simply didn't want to use the knife.

However... ironically, this made her less dislike him.

The domain was dispelled, and Su Yue jumped out of the window, leaping several times across the streetlights before disappearing among the buildings...

……

……

Xia stayed in the original room, quietly waiting for Su Yue to return.

Although he felt that Xiaoyue would be more sensible in her actions ten years from now, the effect of her missing eye only lasted for ten minutes. If she were to do something dangerous, it would still be a bit worrying.

"Click."

The door was pushed open, and Su Yue rushed in, put the boy's knife on the cabinet, and then rushed over to press down on the back of Xia Shou's head, gagging him.

"Phew, it's a pity there's not much time left, otherwise I really wanted to relive the past," Su Yue said regretfully.

Xia Shou hadn't come to his senses yet. He had just lost all initiative. His opponent's skills were so advanced that he couldn't even imagine them. All he felt was... comfort.

What were you doing just now?

"A trivial matter not worth mentioning."

"What is this knife?" Xia Shou asked, looking at the strange knife that Su Yue had brought back that he had never seen before.

It's obvious that this knife is no ordinary item; its appearance alone tells you it's some kind of special sealed artifact.

"I found it on the roadside. Most people probably wouldn't want to use it, so I'll hand it over to the bureau. Maybe we'll need it in the future," Su Yue said casually.

Su Yue wasn't particularly concerned about the knife. It was indeed very powerful, but because it involved skinning, piercing, and limb reattachment, no mentally sound person would be willing to use it.

However, it is undeniable that in some situations, using it can be of great help. Therefore, handing it over to the regulatory authority and flexibly allocating usage rights is the best way to utilize it.

She didn't go to Li Mingzheng for the knife; she went so that her future life would no longer be harassed by that person.

Thinking of that name made Su Yue feel a wave of unease again, but thankfully, she didn't have to go through these things ten years ago.

Su Yue gazed into Xia Shou's eyes, a complex mix of emotions welling up from the depths of her being. There was so much she wanted to say that she couldn't possibly finish in such a short time.

The order in which the words are spoken cannot be determined.

Perhaps we could hug again?
No, she had someone else equally important to see.

Su Yue gave Xia Shou a light peck on the lips, then turned and ran out of the room.

Xia Shou ran to the door and saw Su Yue running towards the hillside where Su Weiyu was stationed.
