Fu Chengfeng could not see the other party's face clearly because the other party had his back turned to him. But judging from the back, this person must be a woman.
"Fu Gongzi1, I trust you have been well since we last met." With this clear and melodious oriole voice, the woman slowly turned around.
The moment Fu Chengfeng clearly saw the other person's appearance, he felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue and asked in disbelief, "Why is it you?" Then that thing was true... It had clearly happened.
"Surprised? I miss you so much."
Fu Chengfeng looked at the face, which he couldn't tell if it was the real one or a fake, and warned himself over and over not to make the same mistake twice. "What do you want?" Fu Chengfeng asked coldly.
"It's really nothing. As the saying goes, spending one night together as husband and wife will make their love lingers for a hundred nights2......"
"Shut up!" Fu Chengfeng suddenly drew out his Duantian3 Sword and stabbed a corner of her skirt, warning her, "I never kill women, but I don't mind making an exception for you."
"Tsk. Someone just flew into a rage of shame." The woman tugged at her gauze skirt and casually cracked her knuckles. "You can't even come close to me with your current martial arts skills. Even if you can kill me, do you think you can cover up the truth and lie to her for the rest of her life?"
"I have no intention of lying to her." Fu Chengfeng said.
"Then why didn't you tell her the truth?"
"It's none of your business." Fu Chengfeng turned his head away, unwilling to look at that face any longer, and asked indifferently, "What exactly do you want to do?"
The woman chuckled and instantly shifted her position towards the angry Fu Chengfeng, cupping his chin and saying affectionately, "I missed you."
Fu Chenfeng tried to shake her off, but his skills were not as good as the other person's. Even when he used his ten layers of skills, they could still not move a single one of her fingers.
"Don't struggle. Have you forgotten the consequences the last time you did?"
Fu Chengfeng painfully closed his eyes. How could he not remember? That kind of freaking...... one night.
"Your expression betrayed you." The woman's breath blew softly in his ear as she added with a chuckle, "Actually, you weren't exactly forced by me that night, were you?"
Exactly. Not only was Fu Chengfeng enjoying the intimate act with her, but also being forced by her. But he couldn't admit it. He couldn't trample on his own dignity, let alone disappoint Yi-er.
Fu Chengfeng closed his eyes tightly, forcing himself not to see and not to think. His other half was Yi-er, the kind and innocent Yi-er, not this vixen in front of him who did whatever she wanted to him even though they had the same appearance and voice.
"Fu Chengfeng, what are you fighting for? Your parents have never asked you to marry her, and the two of you have never pledged undying love to each other, so why do you have to be chaste for her? You and I have shared an intimate moment, and we already have......"
"I won't be responsible for you." Fu Chengfeng interrupted her and continued, "I, Fu Chengfeng, was originally a flirtatious and fickle man. You should have known the consequences since you took the initiative to send yourself to my door."
The woman burst out laughing at his words. Her laughter was filled with contempt. "Do you think I want you to be responsible for me?" She continued as she squeezed Fu Chengfeng's chin with a slight force. "You are the most self-opinionated man I have ever seen. I came to see you today to remind you that the person who slept with you that night was me, not her. That night was not a dream. Don't think you can escape it."
Fu Chengfeng had nothing to say in reply4. She had hit the nail on his head5. All these years, he had convinced himself that it was just a dream. It was impossible that there could be two people in the world who looked and sounded so much alike. It was even more impossible that he could be attracted to any other woman than Yi-er.
But that night, even now, as he faced her, his heart couldn't help but quicken.
Yi-er made him want to spend his life guarding her. And the woman before him, dazzling like light, fiery and wantonly wicked like a demon, made him addicted like a poisonous drug.
"My other half is Yi-er." Fu Chengfeng's tone was very certain as if as long as there was the slightest hesitation in his tone, he would not be able to convince himself of this fact.
"Prove it to me."
"On the fifteenth of next month, I'm going to the Moon Mansion to settle the score between me and Yun Hendong. Before that, I have an important matter to take care of. This matter is very risky, and I will likely lose my life, but I am still willing to take the risk because it is all for her. I may not care about you, but I am willing to give my life for her." Fu Chengfeng said.
The woman raised her eyebrows in thought for a moment at his words and said, "That is to say, your body desires me, but your heart is with her, right?"
Fu Chengfeng clenched his fists and did not respond.
In response, the woman laughed aloud and said, "You are truly worthy of being the man among men. You can even divide the relationship that clearly. It's a pity that women can't accept such incompleteness. Remember, Fu Chengfeng, you are not good enough for her, let alone me." With that, she let go of her hand, waved her long sleeves and disappeared with the wind.
Fu Xianfeng stared dazedly at her retreating figure, with his mind repeating the words she had left behind—'you are not good enough for her'.
You are not good enough for her.
You are not good enough for her.
Fu Chengfeng, you are not good enough for her.
"Ah—" Fu Chengfeng yelled out as if he were mad. The shadow of his sword went wild as leaves fell to the ground.
After using his last breath of strength, Fu Chengfeng fell to the ground.
The skies spun, the earth turned, and the mountains and rivers were silent and desolate.
The scene of that day came back to him.
At Liu Yidao's private house, he tried to sleep with Rong Yi in his arms, but he could not do so because he was so restless. He got up and went downstairs, originally to calm himself down. But when he returned, he saw her wrapped in a bath towel, clinging to the door rail, her eyes flirtatious, as if she had been waiting for him.
Fighting the urge to take her in his arms and ravage her, he asked, "Yi-er, what are you doing here?"
"I am not your Yi-er." She smiled seductively and moved towards him like a ghost, making eye contact. "If you want to have fun with me, you can't treat me like you treat her." She said domineeringly.
This kind of behaviour, this kind of tone...... She was definitely not Yi-er.
He abruptly took two steps back, trying to get away from her, but she immediately tightened her grip on his waist.
"You can't get away from me." She had a nasty grin on her face.
Only then did he realise that she had extraordinary skills and her martial arts were obviously superior to his. This situation made him even more certain that she was not Yi-er.
But why did she look and sound like Yi-er?
Before he could figure out these problems, she had thrown him onto the large carved bed in the master bedroom, followed by her bare figure clinging to his limbs.

Faced with the identical appearance of his beloved and the restless beast within him, he almost lost his resistance. The last vestige of sanity shattered in her fierce kiss.
"I suggest you enjoy it because resistance is futile."
He heard these words before she forcibly kissed him.
He ended up doing as she advised.
He was ecstatic when he could finally act on his lust. But what followed was endless regret.
When he opened his eyes, she had disappeared without a trace.
Hoping that Yi-er had played a joke on him, he ran wildly upstairs, only to find her sleeping like a baby.
He never saw that person again afterwards. So he dismissed that night as a dream.
But now it had turned into a nightmare.
Fu Chengfeng looked into the distance with empty and lifeless eyes and began to doubt his life.
*
Meanwhile, Xu Qingshan of the Tianshan Escort Agency also doubted his life.
"What did you say? That girl knows martial arts?" Xu Qingshan looked at the wrecked carriage with a look of disbelief.
The armed escort guard in charge of escorting Rong Yi turned deathly pale and submissively replied, "That girl is not only good at martial arts, she is extremely good at it. I was sitting on the horse when I heard a loud bang behind me. When I looked back, I saw her standing behind me with a big smile, and the carriage was already smashed to pieces."
"And then what happened? You didn't even stop her?"
"She could smash the carriage to pieces in an instant. How could I stop her? Even the level of her qinggong6 was too high. Before I could do anything, she was already gone."
When Xu Qingshan heard those words, he pondered for a while before asking, "Are you sure that someone hasn't come to rescue her?"
"I am very sure. I can't believe such a young girl has such a deeply hidden talent. It's so scary."
Xu Qingshan suddenly remembered Fu Chengfeng's words before he left. A chill ran down his spine when he thought of Rong Yi's background. Fortunately, he hadn't mistreated her. Fortunately.
*
Rong Yi was also doubting her life.
She was just in the carriage getting ready to go to the capital, so how did she get to the deep mountains and ancient forests in the blink of an eye? It was fine for her to be in the deep mountains and ancient forests, but somehow she was sitting on the branch of a tree! Sitting on a branch was still okay, but the one she was sitting on was attached to a monstrous, towering tree!
This situation was outrageous.
Even sleepwalking was not this weird!
Rong Yi sighed for a long time on the tree branch before finally seeing a glimmer of comfort in the bleak reality—the view from up here was excellent.
On the principle of optimism, Rong Yi decided to take advantage of being in such rare terrain to enjoy the view of the mountains before seeking help.
It wasn't too bad for her to enjoy the view, but she was startled when she finally saw someone.
Rong Yi's eyes widened. Wasn't, wasn't, wasn't... wasn't that person Fu Chengfeng?
Rong Yi was overjoyed and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Fu Chengfeng!"
At that time, Fu Chengfeng was so deep in self-doubt, self-denial, and self-rejection that he could not get out of it. But when he heard this call, he suddenly opened his eyes. How could he hear Yi-er's voice here?
"Fu Chengfeng, what are you doing lying on the ground?" Rong Yi continued to shout.
Fu Chengfeng immediately jumped up and looked around, only to suddenly see Rong Yi sitting on a large tree not far away. He was about to fly over to rescue her when he remembered what had happened earlier. His handsome face immediately sank as he asked, "Who are you?"
Rong Yi blinked and questioned, "Fu Chengfeng, are you out of your mind?"
It's s Yi-er. Fu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and used his qinggong6 to fly up to the tree to rescue her. "Why are you here?" He asked as he looked her up and down.
"I don't know either." Rong Yi rubbed her slightly aching head in disbelief, constantly feeling like something was missing from her mind.
"Did someone save you?" Fu Chengfeng asked.
Rong Yi shook her head. "I don't know." She knew she had always been lucky, but being this lucky was a bit ridiculous.
Rong Yi's ignorance suddenly caused a thought to appear in Fu Chengfeng's mind. He quickly grabbed the hem of her skirt, causing her to scream.
"What are you doing?" Rong Yi asked suspiciously as she reached for her gauze skirt.
Ignoring her, Fu Chengfeng crouched down to check and found that a piece of her skirt was missing. And the shape of the gaping hole exactly matched the piece left on his sword.
Fu Chengfeng suddenly burst out laughing like mad.
Rong Yi frowned. "Fu Chengfeng, are you sick?"
"You are the one who is sick." Fu Chengfeng pinched her chin and said, "Yi-er, would you believe me if I told you that you had forced yourself on me on a certain dark and windy night?"
Ugh. Rong Yi looked embarrassed and asked weakly, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Fu Chengfeng nodded. "I do."
Rong Yi: "I believe you."
Fu Chengfeng was very surprised by Rong Yi's answer. He thought she would call him obscene, but he hadn't expected her to be so calm. Could it be that… she was not really sick...
"Honestly, are you looking forward to being forced by me?" Rong Yi looked at him innocently and acted very curious.
Fu Chengfeng's face was suddenly full of black lines, with a hint of blush. "If I tell you that I'm not looking forward to it, but I have really been forced by you. Would you believe me?" Fu Chengfeng asked as calmly as he could.
Rong Yi immediately cursed bitterly at his words, "Fu Chengfeng, you're so shameless!"
"......" Not as shameless as you are.
"Although... I do have... such thoughts about you, but I am not such a shameless person!" Rong Yi said righteously with a blushing face.
Fu Chengfeng looked at her solemnly and said word for word, "I know you are not a shameless person, but what I said is true. You have tainted my innocence."
"......"
"You have to accept this fact."
Seeing that Fu Chengfeng wasn't joking, Rong Yi's expression immediately stiffened, and she asked, "Fu Chengfeng, did you really... do that kind of thing with another woman?"
Fu Chengfeng frowned. That didn't sound good. "It wasn't another woman, it was you, and I was forced by you." He corrected.
Before he could finish speaking, a look of pain and despair appeared on Rong Yi's palm-sized face. She took two steps back in disbelief and exclaimed, "You... you... you..."
Rong Yi clenched her fists and left angrily. Fu Chengfeng was left alone, feeling confused. If you don't want to take responsibility, you don't have to act like this, okay? Why did her face look like she was the one who had been violated and not him?
How horrible was he that she couldn't accept that she had forced herself on him?
Fu Chengfeng felt frustrated. What frustrated him even more, was that even after chasing Rong Yi for ten miles, he still couldn’t see her shadow.
This meant that Rong Yi was in queen mode at the moment.
Fu Chengfeng sighed deeply and was about to bemoan the melodrama of his life when he looked up and saw a young man with eyes like stars and eyebrows like swords standing in front of him. The moment their eyes met, Fu Chengfeng sensed a strong murderous aura in the other person's eyes.
