"What a tragic story, lovers ultimately can't be together!" Listening to Yan Ruyu tell the story, Luo Chao didn't know when tears had started flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Tragic? I don't feel that way. I think they're very happy. His beloved fought fiercely for the one he loves, and ultimately rescued the person he cherished from the devil's hands, freeing them from the Sea of Suffering. I believe that his beloved is joyful and blessed, being able to die for the one he loves. I think that's a form of happiness. If someday, I could die for you, I would feel that it's the happiest moment of my life..." At this point, Yan Ruyu suddenly paused, realizing she had said too much, hurriedly closing her mouth, her pretty face turning red like the sunset, lowering her head, not daring to look at Luo Chao.

Luo Chao seemed as if he hadn't heard Yan Ruyu's confession, or maybe he deliberately ignored that part, with a solemn face, quietly waiting for Yan Ruyu to continue speaking.

Yan Ruyu's dark and beautiful eyes quietly glanced at Luo Chao, and upon seeing no reaction from him, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily he didn't notice!"

"And that Qianyu Princess, having a man who would give up his life to protect her, even if they couldn't be together in the end, I think she's also happy. A woman in her lifetime doesn't ask for much, only for someone who truly cares and loves her." Yan Ruyu sighed and continued speaking, finishing with her eyes blazing as she looked at Luo Chao.

"Then, sister, you're happy too. You have me, someone who truly cares about you!" Luo Chao laughed, casually wrapping his arm around Yan Ruyu's shoulder.

"Always teasing!" Yan Ruyu's pretty face reddened slightly, glaring at Luo Chao, playfully scolding him, showing the shy restraint and coy flirtation of a little girl.

There was no moonlight, but the colorful lights were shining. Green lights shined on the crisp green trees, emitting a gloomy glow, like scenes commonly seen in horror movies, eerie and terrifying. However, after hearing the story just now, Luo Chao found the green environment not eerie and terrifying but rather beautiful, like the beautiful, enticing feathers of a peacock, like jade.

The quiet path, two young figures, walking hand in hand, the young man handsome, the young woman beautiful, the tranquil Qianyu Park, became their beautiful world.

"This is Princess Qianyu's statue!" Yan Ruyu pointed out the towering fifty-meter sculpture in the lake to Luo Chao.

Carved from white jade, like snow-white fat, tall stature, delicate and beautiful features, peerless beauty, under the flashing lights of various colors, shining brilliantly, elevating the beauty of the jewels, bright eyes and teeth, jade walls horizontally presented, graceful legs rising in posture, wings spreading behind, seemingly about to soar into the sky.

"So beautiful!" Luo Chao merely expressed those two words after looking for a long time.

"Annoying!" Yan Ruyu pouted her slightly reddened lips, letting go of Luo Chao's hand, feigning anger.

"Uh, sister, did I say something wrong? She's naturally very beautiful, isn't she?" Luo Chao couldn't figure out why Yan Ruyu was suddenly angry.

"Don't you know that saying another girl is beautiful in front of a girl is very rude?" Yan Ruyu turned her body to one side, refusing to look at Luo Chao.

"You're jealous? Haha, you're jealous of a statue!" Hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Luo Chao finally understood the reason for her anger.

"You... I'm not talking to you anymore!" Yan Ruyu shyly ran away.

"Haha..." Behind, Luo Chao burst into laughter.

"Ah, help!" Yan Ruyu's scream echoed.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Luo Chao was shocked and ran full speed in the direction Yan Ruyu left.

"It's you!" Turning around a green umbrella-shaped tree, Luo Chao's eyes almost popped out as he looked at the person in front of him, speaking in a sinister tone.

"Who else did you think it was?" The old man who was slapped by Luo Chao in the restaurant and scammed out of tens of thousands now stood there with a gleeful expression, speaking to Luo Chao.

Behind him were four young men dressed in tattered denim clothes. These four young men looked like those unsightly low-level people, the kind who were at the bottom tier even within gangs, typically extorting protection fees at the fish market, useless types. Each had long hair dyed in various colors, their faces adorned with the sickly smiles typical of street thugs, which made people disgusted.

At this moment, two people had grabbed Yan Ruyu's arms, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free.

"What a pity, what a pity! Five fresh lives are again about to disappear from this world!" After a brief surprise, Luo Chao calmed down, staring at the repulsive old man and the four thugs. To Luo Chao, they're not even worthy of being called gangsters. In Luo Chao's eyes, a gangster is someone with great capital, one with gentlemanly demeanor, charming yet not vulgar, affectionate but not promiscuous, a hero-like figure, and not these low-level thugs.

"Kid, don't be arrogant, you'll never escape today, and one year from today will be your memorial day!" The old man said coldly, glaring at Luo Chao.

"Old man, today is your unlucky day. Remember in your next life to be a person with self-awareness and not be as stupid as a pig like you are in this one!" Luo Chao, indifferent to the old man's words, spoke to himself.

"Kid, don't be arrogant..." Seeing that Luo Chao didn't take him seriously, the old man got angry and tried to curse at Luo Chao, but before the word "arrogant" could come out, he found he no longer had the chance to finish.

A purple-cyan light swept through, and the old man's head rolled to the ground, blood spraying like a fountain, shooting half a meter high from his neck, then his entire body collapsed heavily.

"Hiss!" The four thugs gasped in shock. They never imagined Luo Chao would be so bold as to kill without hesitation. In modern society, people don't kill just because they want to, like in martial arts films, but at this moment, Luo Chao acted just as if he intended to kill.

Standing solitary in the chilly park, holding the Purple and Cyan Sword like an overwhelming, arrogant blade piercing Qianyu Park, Luo Chao stood alone like an ancient Emperor, his invisible overbearing aura making the four thugs shiver uncontrollably.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu, who was grabbed, looked at Luo Chao, standing like a solitary peak, her gaze became infatuated. The first time she saw Luo Chao kill was in her room; back then, she was startled and didn't have time to see Luo Chao's demeanor. But this time, she saw it, a domineering presence ruling across the world, with an attitude of supremacy.

That kind of supreme presence, standing proudly like winter plum blossoms, transcending, above all in the world, like the bright sun in the sky, dismissing everything on earth.

"Release her, and I'll spare you!" The cold, ice-like voice pierced the ears of the four people, making their bodies unconsciously shiver.
