This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 319 Your Most Hated Ex-Wife

A cold wind swept across the stone bridge.

Beneath the bridge lies the dark, lifeless Jiangyin River, its surface undisturbed by even the slightest ripple.

There are no living people in the underworld, and even the water is devoid of any life.

The two walked onto the stone bridge one after the other, their steps slow, as if they were both lost in thought.

"Does going home mean you can't come back?"

"Where do you live? Can I come to you?"

Luo Zijun was the first to break the deathly silence in the air.

The Moon Palace Fairy lowered her head slightly and continued walking forward. She crossed the stone bridge and stepped over the stone tablet, murmuring softly, "It's very far... You can't go there."

The stone tablet is inscribed with two lines of scarlet characters: The underworld, the realm of ghosts, the living must not enter.

She was speaking on one side of the stone tablet, while he was on the other side.

The two were a few steps apart, but separated by the "Ghost Realm" stone tablet.

"No matter how far, there is an end. If you can go, so can I."

Luo Zijun stepped over the stone tablet, caught up with her, turned his head to look at her, and was unusually brave tonight: "I can come to you and tell your family that I want to marry you."

The Moon Palace Fairy stopped in her tracks, paused, and turned to look at him: "What if my family doesn't agree?"

Luo Zijun said, "I will do everything I can to make them willing."

The Moon Palace Fairy stared at him quietly for a while, then said, "If I remember correctly, you already have a wife at home, and you also have many lovers outside."

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, then said, "They are all different from you. Also, I have already divorced Miss Bai."

"But not because of me."

The Moon Palace Fairy said calmly.

Luo Zijun remained noncommittal, reached out and gently grasped her soft, slender, and cold little hand hidden in her sleeve, saying, "Some things are destined, and I cannot change them, but there are some things that I hope I can grasp myself."

The Moon Palace Fairy was silent for a moment, then gently withdrew her hand and said, "Perhaps what you have grasped is just a dream."

She continued walking forward and arrived at the exit.

Luo Zijun approached her, staring at her face, which was hazy in the fluorescent light, and said, "It is indeed like a dream. Even now, I still don't know what you look like. But so what? What I love is your soul. Even if it's a dream, I'm willing to keep holding on to it."

Their eyes met, and though they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, it was as if their gazes passed through the fluorescent light, entering each other's pupils and bodies.

Tell me, where is your home?

Luo Zijun gripped her hand tightly once more, this time holding both of her hands so tightly that they pressed their bodies together.

"Wow!"

A beam of light appeared, enveloping the two of them.

Soon, the two returned to the ground.

A gentle breeze blows, carrying with it a thin mist over Baihua Lake and the fragrant scent of flowers from the garden.

Dawn was breaking on the horizon.

From lifelessness to vitality, it only takes a moment.

"The land of monsters."

The Moon Fairy finally spoke, but after she finished speaking, she flew into the night sky, leaving behind another sentence: "I am a demon, and there is no future between humans and demons..."

The words still echoed in Luo Zijun's ears, but the snow-white figure that flew into the night sky had already disappeared into the gradually disappearing full moon in the night sky.

Luo Zijun stood in the Hundred Flowers Garden, gazing at the empty night sky, lost in thought for a long time before murmuring, "Who says there's no future for humans and demons? Xu Xian and the White Snake..."

He suddenly realized that he was Xu Xian, and Miss Bai was the White Snake.

The two of them indeed did not end up together...

But the current Miss Bai isn't a demon.

Lost in thought, he returned to his room, his mind clearing, and lay on the bed, reminiscing about his moments with the fairy.

"So the fairy was actually a demon..."

"I am Xu Xian..."

He sat up abruptly, his expression shifting.

“I am Xu Xian, and the fairy is a demon… Xu Xian and the White Snake are destined to be together in this life, but my destiny with Miss Bai is broken. Miss Bai is human in this life, not the White Snake… Could it be…”

"Could it be that the fairy is the white snake destined to be my soulmate?"

His expression kept changing as he secretly regretted not asking the fairy what kind of demon she was.

However, the fairy did not give him any chance.

"Snake skin!"

He suddenly remembered the snakeskin!

Thinking back carefully, the fairy's reaction when she first saw that snakeskin was very strange; she then immediately took it for herself...

The more he thought about it, the closer he felt his guess was to the truth!
The fairy is the White Snake!

The fairy is the white snake who is destined to marry him in this life!

If two people are not destined to be together, how could they suddenly meet, suddenly get together, suddenly engage in marital relations... how could they suddenly fall in love, and then suddenly be forced to separate?

The entire process and twists and turns of this event are remarkably similar to the lives of Xu Xian and the White Snake!

The only difference is that he couldn't get the fairy to conceive a child!

The soul cannot conceive, but the body can.

Could it be that the fairy's departure was ordained by heaven, to lead him to find the fairy's physical body, and then... impregnate her?
Um... it's getting a bit sluggish...

But he was already certain that the fairy and he were not yet finished with their fate, and that the other party was very likely the real White Snake.

Therefore, he had to find her!

Another crucial point supporting this hypothesis is that, regardless of whether he and Miss Bai went through their wedding ceremony or signed the divorce papers, his body remained completely unchanged—not a single change. He had assumed the White Snake's mission was over, but now it seems he might have been looking for the wrong person!
Miss Bai might not actually be the White Snake. The reason she frequently has nightmares about the White Snake might be a coincidence, or it might be...

Ok?
Could it be that someone deliberately made her have those kinds of dreams so that he would mistakenly believe she was the White Snake?

Is she a fairy, or someone else?

Or perhaps, Miss Bai was indeed a white snake in her past life, and she was indeed destined to marry a certain benefactor, but that benefactor might not necessarily be him.

If it's him, why haven't they fallen in love even though they've been married for so long?
Clearly, something is strange.

Thinking about it this way, he became even more certain of his earlier guess.

Miss Bai is not the White Snake he is looking for; the fairy is!
Outside the window, the sun has already risen.

Luo Zijun thought to herself: If I go to Miss Bai again today and ask her carefully about all the dreams she has had, I might be able to find out something.

I didn't sleep all night, but I'm not sleepy at all.

However, it was too early to disturb him, so he lay back down and continued thinking.

After Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan got up, they began to do things quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Bai's panicked voice suddenly came from outside: "Xiao Huan! Xiao Huan! Is Young Master awake? Miss is missing!"

Luo Zijun immediately woke up, got out of bed, went to open the window, and asked, "Where is Miss?"

Bai Bai said with a sob in her voice, "We just went to the room to check, but Miss wasn't there. There were only three letters on the table: one for Master and Madam, one for Third Miss, and one for Young Master. Third Miss just came over, so we quickly showed her the letter. Third Miss said..."

At this moment, Bai Qingtong came through the small door with a pale face and a trembling voice, saying, "Brother-in-law, my sister is gone..."

Luo Zijun immediately left the room and asked, "Where did you go? What did the letter say?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Bai Qingtong looked at the letter in her hand and said, "My sister said that she... she has become a nun and that we should not go looking for her."

"A monk?"

Luo Zijun quickly went over and took the letter from her hand, then looked down at it.

"Qing Tong: "
Take good care of Father and Mother, I'm leaving now.

It has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with him. I just feel that life has no meaning, so I decided to become a monk.

Don't look for me, don't think of me, just pretend I never existed.

I am but a snowflake, falling here perhaps unintentionally, and it has nothing to do with you. My destiny is to disappear here forever.

I've already written him a letter of divorce; you can now officially marry him.

Keep an eye on him and don't let him leave the Bai family, even if he doesn't want to marry you and marries someone else instead.

—Meixue, your sister
"

Luo Zijun stared blankly at the letter, somewhat bewildered.

Just then, from the neighboring courtyard came the sound of my mother-in-law crying and my father-in-law shouting angrily: "Quickly take people to look! Hurry!"

Then she heard his comforting voice: "Madam, don't worry. Meixue is a weak woman; she can't go far. She's never left home before and doesn't even know the way. Lin'an City is under lockdown now; without proper documentation, she can't leave. We just need to search within the city..."

Chu Meixiang angrily said, "What are the guards in the manor doing? Are they all useless? Didn't you see a single one of them?"

Then she cried, "It's all your fault, all your fault! You insisted on making Qing Tong marry that ungrateful bastard... Although they didn't consummate their marriage after the wedding ceremony, they lived happily ever after... It's all that ungrateful little bastard's fault! Our Bai family treated him so well, and he didn't even spare his own sister-in-law... Su Zhen must think we're biased and don't care about her, sob sob..."

In the small courtyard, listening to the cursing, Luo Zijun and Bai Qingtong remained silent.

"Brother-in-law, this is a letter from my sister to you."

Bai Qingtong handed another letter to Luo Zijun, rubbed her eyes, and turned to go next door.

Luo Zijun opened the letter with mixed feelings and looked at its contents.

Luo Zijun:

I'm gone, gone forever.

I said that we need not see each other again, and we will never see each other again.

I hate you.

You are lecherous, hypocritical, like to lie, have vulgar tastes, and have so many obscene books hidden in your room. Every night you rummage around, either bullying Fenfen, Xiaohuan, or Zhiyuan. You also frequently go out and fool around with other women.

However, my departure has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to feel guilty.

Regardless, the Bai family saved you, your sister, and your brother-in-law. Therefore, I hope you will repay their kindness and not stand by and watch them die when they are in danger.

I know you have a good relationship with the Queen.

I know that your relationship will be better after I leave.

I'm giving you Pinky, Whitey, and Green. Treat them well and don't spend all your time tickling and bullying them. You should spend more time with them.

One can be lustful, but one cannot be heartless.

I won't go into details about you and Qing Tong; however you treat her is your own business.

You took advantage of the Bai family and of me, and I don't blame you for it.

You had no choice.

Okay, actually I don't really like talking to you. I've said so much to you today just to tell you to treat the Bai family well and the people around you well.

returning a Favour many times more.

I have already repaid the debt of gratitude.

Also, don't bother looking for me, you won't find me.

Finally, here's another surprise and shock for you, as punishment for stealing my stockings and undergarment and peeking at my feet every time you come to see me.

……

Bai Meixue, your most beloved fairy, your most hated ex-wife
