Chapter 1677 Atoning for My Sins with the Rest of My Life

Liu Yueqi seemed to have suddenly gone mad, her mouth stretched wide open, her smile almost manic, and her voice booming: "Hahahaha! At first, I did indeed consider you my best friend."

"But you don't deserve it! You don't deserve my true feelings! I've been so good to you, I tell you everything, I've been completely open and honest with you! But what about you?"

“Every time we carry out academy missions, you're the one hiding in the back and not doing any work, but in the end, all the honors and praise are yours! Why?”

"I gave it my all, almost died several times, and what did I get in return? Wherever you are, I'm always invisible, a nobody. I don't want to live like this anymore!"

Xiaoyue looked at Liu Yueqi with a pained expression and a complicated look on her face.

So... that's what she's always thought?

"Once you die, everyone will notice me, everyone will notice me, Liu Yueqi!" Liu Yueqi's eyes seemed to devour Xiaoyue. "So, why don't you just die? We're best friends. Once you're dead, my wish will be fulfilled!"

"Liu Yueqi! You're insane!" After hearing these words, his companions thought Liu Yueqi was a madman! A complete and utter madman!

Who's this crazy? Just because someone isn't being noticed, they're going to kill them?

Xiaoyue was even more incredulous: "I... I asked you about those rewards, and you said you didn't want them."

"I don't want it? You know my family is poor! I've given everything just so my parents and sister can have a better life." These words further provoked Liu Yueqi.

She lunged forward, intending to strangle Xiaoyue.

He was slapped away by the clone.

"Cough cough!" Liu Yueqi coughed up blood, his eyes still venomous: "And you? Although I haven't asked about your identity, I can tell from your usual clothes that you come from a wealthy family. You clearly don't need those rewards, but you always accept them."

"Then you'll pretend to ask me if I want it or not?" Liu Yueqi laughed as he spoke. "Why should I want it? It's a reward for you! Why should I take it?"

Xiaoyue shook her head, saying painfully, "That's not how it is. We're partners, and you have a share of these rewards. They belong to you."

"So what?" Liu Yueqi sneered.

She knew she couldn't kill Xiaoyue, and she was so unwilling to accept it. So unwilling to die like this, what about her parents and younger sister... what would become of them?

She is the only cultivator in her family...

"So, I always sent your reward to your parents through a third party," Xiaoyue said, forcing herself to stay calm.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Liu Yueqi's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

“Really. Xiaoyue even gave her share of the reward to your parents, but you never went home to visit them or mentioned it to us.” The other children chimed in.

They all looked at Liu Yueqi with expressions of deep sorrow and grief.

"No... how could this be? You clearly took those things for yourself... No!!" Liu Yueqi's heart was breaking after learning the truth.

It turns out that her hatred was nothing but a joke from beginning to end!

So many comrades were killed because of him...

"Ahhh!!" Liu Yueqi screamed in despair, unable to accept the current situation.

Immense pain and regret overwhelmed her mind and body.

"We really didn't expect you to misunderstand Xiaoyue and even harbor hatred towards her." His companions' words, at this moment, turned into sharp daggers, viciously stabbing Liu Yueqi in the heart.

"Did you know that Xiaoyue is actually the dean's daughter?"

"The ordinary tasks we take on don't have such generous rewards at all; the dean pays for them out of his own pocket."

"So, we all owe Xiaoyue, especially you, Liu Yueqi."

"Stop talking! Stop talking!!" Liu Yueqi's vision was blurred by tears.

What has she done!

With the help of the clone's treatment, Xiaoyue gradually regained some strength, but she still needed to rest for a while before she could fully recover.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. I will repay you tenfold, but I have used up all my trump cards and have nothing left on me." Xiaoyue said shyly, "However, this is my identity token. My father is the dean of the Beast Taming Academy. In the future, if my benefactor has any needs, as long as it does not endanger the Beast Taming Academy, my father will do his best to meet them."

The clone didn't say anything and simply took the token.

This kind of good stuff is always welcome.

"Xiaoyue has one more thing... she wants to ask her benefactor for a favor." Xiaoyue suddenly lowered her head and said in an embarrassed tone.

"what?"

"Xiaoqi... Liu Yueqi is actually a kind person. She was just under too much pressure, which is why she did something so outrageous. Now that she has received the punishment she deserves and knows she was wrong, can her benefactor forgive her?"

The clone looked at Xiaoyue with a complicated expression: "You don't blame her for pushing you into the snake pit?"

If it weren't for the extraordinary efficacy of the pills refined by the original body, Xiaoyue wouldn't have survived at all.

"It's strange, but it's my own choice. Even if she tries to harm me again in the future, I'll bear the consequences." Xiaoyue looked up, her eyes bright.

"Fine." If the person involved isn't going to hold a grudge, why should she, an outsider, care?

“…Xiaoyue.” Liu Yueqi’s mouth gaped open, her eyes glazed over. The next second, guilt and other negative emotions crashed over her like a tidal wave.

"This place is dangerous. You little kids, hurry up and go down the mountain," the clone urged, raising his hand.

I was so focused on rescuing people when I entered the snake pit that I didn't notice if there were any snake moss flowers or anything like that.

I need to go down there again.

"Okay, benefactor." Xiaoyue was carried on the back of a companion.

The other two roughly lifted Liu Yueqi's hands and feet.

"Sister, let me correct you, we're not little babies anymore."

"Yes, sister, we're both in our forties! Will we ever see each other again?"

The clone waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Perhaps."

She should be able to see him when she needs to see the headmaster of the animal training academy.

On the way down the mountain, without the clones around, the atmosphere noticeably became tense.

Liu Yueqi kept crying until her eyes were almost blind. She bit her lip and sobbed silently.

One of his companions said with a serious face, "Liu Yueqi, we really didn't expect you to have such a deep misunderstanding about Xiaoyue."

"Sorry……"

"The people you should apologize to are not me, but Xiaoyue and the partners you killed."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know... I thought..." Liu Yueqi knew that his explanation was very weak and unconvincing.

She choked back tears, "Why don't you just kill me!"

"I am a sinner!"

"If you die, what will happen to your parents and sister? What will happen to the classmates who died because of you?" Xiaoyue took a deep breath and said, "Use the rest of your life to atone for your sins!"
