After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 724: Fierce? Is she fierce?

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Fierce? Is she fierce?

No one could say for sure how the future would unfold.

Zhao Muze originally thought that Shi Yaoguang would have killed him, or at least used some method to thoroughly erase his traces and enslave him.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yaoguang did not do so.

This puzzled him greatly.

Oftentimes, the unknown is the most frightening.

"Are you sure you’re going to let me go?"

Zhao Muze couldn’t help but ask this question, only to receive a look from Shi Yaoguang that one might give to a fool.

Shi Yaoguang seemed very easy to talk to, "If you think my decision to let you go is a mistake, I can kill you as well. Tell me, how would you like to die?"

Zhao Muze: "..."

If it were possible, who would choose to die?

He immediately denied the foolish question he had previously asked: "I don’t want to die; I don’t want to choose any way to die!"

"Really?" Shi Yaoguang wore a skeptical expression, "If you don’t have the courage to take your own life, I can help you with that."

"No need!" Zhao Muze firmly refused. "I’m leaving now!"

Shi Yaoguang waved her hand, indicating for him to buzz off on his own.

Meanwhile, she and Quan Jinbei decided to stay temporarily on this hidden island.

The main reason Zhao Muze chose this island as his base was its extremely concealed topography.

Not to mention the dense forests on the island.

Even if someone managed to land on the island by chance, they wouldn’t be able to get through the thick forest safely without a map of the island, risking their lives in the attempt.

The forest was in a very primitive state; even though Zhao Muze had been encamped here for quite some time, he never developed the forest, intending to keep it as a natural protective barrier.

Now, this conveniently benefitted Shi Yaoguang.

Quan Jinbei was very supportive of Shi Yaoguang’s intention to establish her own sect, but he didn’t quite understand why she let Zhao Muze go.

"Yaoguang, you just let Zhao Muze go like that?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head and smiled mysteriously, "Do you think that after planning for so many years, Zhao Muze could simply give up like that?"

Naturally, Quan Jinbei thought it was impossible.

For Zhao Muze to give up so easily after such long-term planning was simply too unrealistic.

Unless his life was threatened, he would never willingly give up the island.

The saying "Releasing the tiger back to the mountain" referred to this kind of person. Shi Yaoguang had spared him for a deeper reason for sure.

"The illegitimate children Zhao Muze has prepared are not only in our country; his influence has infiltrated quite a few other nations..." And some of them had even succeeded in their schemes.

With her hint, Quan Jinbei immediately grasped her point.

If Zhao Muze’s illegitimate sons and daughters could indeed successfully take control of those families that held the lifelines of their nations’ economies, as well as other political powers...

Then reclaiming those nations might not be impossible after all.

Shi Yaoguang was unwilling to see Zhao Muze wreak havoc on her own country but did not mind watching him make a move against other nations.

Though the world seemed peaceful now, the undercurrents never ceased to swirl beneath the surface.

These matters, of course, were known only to a few.

Zhao Muze was certainly despicable, but he still had some value to be exploited; otherwise, Shi Yaoguang would not have let him go so easily.

Even though she had let him go, this did not mean she would not hold him accountable.

Daring to plot against her man, she certainly would not let him off easily!

Quan Jinbei, knowing her thoughts, was deeply touched: "Wife, you are so good to me~"

What’s it like to watch a super handsome man act coy right in front of you?

Shi Yaoguang thought to herself that not pinning him down right then and there would be a disservice to the perfect convergence of time, location, and harmony on her side!

However.

As a particular person, Shi Yaoguang was not prepared to spend the beautiful evening in the wilderness.

Even though there was a house left by Zhao Muze, she found it...

Dirty.

Because of this, Quan Jinbei mercilessly tore Zhao Muze into pieces in his mind and even went as far as to whip the corpse and dismember it, which made him feel somewhat better.

In order to create a place for him and Shi Yaoguang to rest as quickly as possible, Quan Jinbei used all his Spiritual Energy, with a clang and a bang, the original buildings on the island were leveled to the ground.

As for the laboratories on the island that produced Zhao Muze’s illegitimate children, who were prepared to control the world, they were destroyed without a trace left.

In fact, Shi Yaoguang felt that the problem lay with Heavenly Dao when it came to Zhao Muze being able to come up with such laboratories.

If Heavenly Dao’s luck hadn’t been siphoned off by Zhao Muze, his outlandish ideas would never have become reality.

You should know that such experiments, even in parallel universes, could not be fully realized even centuries later.

After all, changing a person’s genes is extremely difficult, not to mention the replication of someone else’s genes.

However, no matter how Zhao Muze had done it, he was no longer able to conduct such inhumane experiments.

Zhao Muze knew his laboratory had been destroyed, and he hated Shi Yaoguang to death in his heart, yet he dared not harbor thoughts of revenge.

After all...

Shi Yaoguang could crush him to death with one hand.

Later, when he remembered how easily Shi Yaoguang could control lightning, he even doubted she was human and wanted to turn her into an existence everyone clamored to strike down.

Of course, these were all thoughts for later on.

For now, his top priority was to strive to survive.

Shi Yaoguang, for her part, was unaware of Zhao Muze’s thoughts. In fact, when she said she had released Zhao Muze, she hadn’t completely forsaken oversight.

Those who cultivate have plenty of means at their disposal.

Before letting Zhao Muze go, she had planted a spiritual mark on him.

No matter where Zhao Muze went, she could know in an instant.

She could even kill him using the spiritual mark without showing her face.

But she wouldn’t do that.

After all...

This was the man who had sealed Quan Jinbei’s soul for a thousand years, offered his soul as a sacrifice to Heavenly Dao, and was even using the body from Quan Jinbei’s past life.

Adding these issues together, she felt that she would be letting Quan Jinbei down if she truly let Zhao Muze go.

Moreover, although she considered herself a kind person, she was not so benevolent that all hatred could vanish with just a laugh.

The existence of such sentiments as forgiving all through laughter is too rare.

Unless she had avenged all her grudges.

Without hatred standing in the way, the idea of forgiving all with a smile was indeed possible.

Quan Jinbei naturally saw Shi Yaoguang’s true nature.

If not, he wouldn’t have just let Zhao Muze walk away.

The reason?

Could Quan Jinbei, who could control the entire Quan Family with a frail body, be someone who does not hold grudges?

Not to mention, the person currently occupying the body is the State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor was also the one who sealed him and had offered his soul as a sacrifice.

If not for seeing some remaining usefulness in him, Quan Jinbei would have taken action long ago.

It must be said, this couple is more ruthless than the other.

Alas, they did not see it that way.

"Ruthless? How could I, being so kind, be called ruthless? At most, I’m just letting him redeem his sins through good deeds," Shi Yaoguang said.

Even as she was prepared to take the National Master’s life, Shi Yaoguang was still so kindly giving him time and space to be useful; such kind-hearted people like her are really rare!
