Chapter 57: Farewell, Love is Hard

  Past events are like a dream, now there is no wine but still painful. The chaos of the world has become empty, ordinary pursuits seem shallow and fleeting.

  Looking at the chaotic scene before me, I couldn't help but feel a premonition that there was a past between King Nicholas and the Red Clothed Woman, one similar to a tragic love story like Qiong Yao's.

  However, King Nicholas was not very kind to me, and it still made me feel a little melancholy. It's really like what Minzhi said, this place is not worth the red-robed woman's nostalgia.

  But their grudges are none of my business, I need to think of a way to manufacture the Cloud Robe and then use it to swindle the Tears!

  In an instant, Min Xi's voice was slightly cold and sarcastic: "Look, this is the so-called heart-loving man you've been talking about. From head to toe, he never took you as..."

  Before the red-robed woman could respond, King Nicholas looked at them with a questioning expression and asked, "What is your relationship with Ruru?"

  "This has nothing to do with you." Min Xi said fearlessly to Nikolai, her eyes filled with hatred.

  "You can't be so rude to the king!" Lulu began to lecture, as if she were an elderly person, scolding a misbehaving child. However, her face was too young, but from the previous gossip, I could still guess that she should be King Nicholas' old lover, and would Minzhe be the king's illegitimate son? Or some other identity?

  I think things have become much more complicated, but now if I don't get everything sorted out, I reckon I won't be able to complete the task myself.

  "Haha... You've got the guts to find a little white face!" The king's mouth curled up in a sneer, the wrinkles on his face etching out the fact that he had grown old, but his majestic demeanor remained undiminished.

  I think it's precisely because of King Nicholas' unique temperament that Lulu loves him so deeply, but I also think, just like Min Xi did, that she didn't have to go to such great lengths to get into the palace, because he isn't worth it.

  "Look, you spare him, but he doesn't respect you at all." Min Xi retorted with a sneer, her eyes fixed on King Nicholas, filled with hatred. If looks could kill, I think "he" would have died countless times under her gaze.

  "Father, stop wasting words on them, just arrest them all!" Hua'er shouted loudly with her throat open, and the petite girl stood out in the crowd. Even so, she was still stubborn and sharp-tongued.

  "I also want to, but this demoness is too powerful, she actually took your brother away!" King Nicholas looked embarrassed, his eyes fell on me again, and he said: "Didn't you say before that you were willing to make a cloud dress and then release Nas?"

  "She actually..." Wahl looked at me with a somewhat disbelieving expression.

  "Nasatha..." Ais's gaze also fell on him, looking very puzzled.

  "You actually used that move on him!" Min Xi seemed to have guessed something and asked me with a playful face.

  "Yes, I did say that, but the situation has changed now." I smiled mysteriously, and suddenly the scene was chaotic. Maybe I could take advantage of it to make some profit, or maybe not.

  "What else do you want?" King Nicholas asked me with a sincere face, compared to his indifference to Lulu, I finally understood that one must be strong in order to live with dignity.

  "You and Rourou's problem must be solved, if Minxi doesn't cooperate, I think this method of making Yunyi will forever remain a secret, and for my own protection, I'll have to keep Prince Nasi locked up forever." What I said was so light and casual, but actually contained threatening words.

  I think the knot in Min Xi's heart is naturally tied to Lu Lu and King Nicholas. Although I don't know their specific situation, at least understanding it can help resolve it!

  King Nicholas's eyes sank, looking very embarrassed.

  Lulu smiled wryly and said, "What's the point of this? The whole world knows that the king and I were once a pair of star-crossed lovers."

  Lu Lu seems to be reminiscing about the past, her expression looks particularly painful. Later, she shook her head and corrected herself: "No... I was willing to be his mistress!"

  "Although you clearly know it's a one-sided love, yet you still don't want to leave..." Min Xi smiled more bitterly than Lu Lu.

  I looked at this pair of men and women with the same expression of bitterness to the extreme, and suddenly felt a little incomprehensible. What is the relationship between them? Mother and son or lovers?

  "Between her and me, we broke up many years ago, there's nothing left to resolve." King Nikolai still insisted on his own opinion, I restrained the urge to go forward and slap him twice, in my ears, the one who owed an apology to Ruru was indeed him!

  "If you think that's the solution, then I don't mind taking in all of Ghost's pets...” I exaggerated on purpose, although I didn't have such a big skill, but judging from my ability to take in Nasu, it was probably possible to deceive the audience a bit.

  "What's the point of even talking to them?" Min Xi rolled her eyes at me and said, "Our family affairs, you'd best not interfere!"

  "If you still want to go out with me, then you must let me know..." I also felt powerless, like looking at clouds in the fog, and couldn't help but add another sentence. But as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt that something was off.

  "Your meaning is..." Mian Xicuo thought about the meaning of my words, then nodded and said frankly: "Alright, you want to know, I'll tell you thoroughly, so that you can truly become one of us."

  What a self-contradiction, I really want to deny it, but unfortunately, Mo Xi thought of saying something, so I can only keep silent. If he wants to say something to entangle himself later, I'll be fine, after all, I never admitted it in the first place.

  It turned out that the Eastern girl, Lulu, was originally an orphan. One day, she narrowly encountered a mountain bandit and was saved by a young Nikola. During their few days together, the two quickly fell in love and had a relationship on a stormy night.

  Lulu and Nikolai privately vowed to be together forever, Lulu even gave birth to a pair of twins for Nikolai, but the greatly changed Nikolai killed their children and drove her out of Ghost City.

  But she still didn't give up, and instead won over Nicholas's fiancée. After Nicholas's fiancée gave birth to a child and died, she became the wet nurse and raised the child.

  Nicholas accidentally found out she was a wet nurse and then drove her away.

  Min Xi said that he was the adopted son of Lu Lu, and had always been resentful of Nikolai. However, Lao Wu had a good impression of Lu Lu and they frequently interacted with each other. But three months ago, Lao Wu suddenly disappeared without reason, so Min Xi wanted to take away three tokens of their relationship and severely punish them.
