Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Her sister had provoked quite a few terrifying figures.

And because Gu Huaiwei had a face similar to her sister’s, she naturally became the target of everyone as well.

Ya Qianyu, the Blood Flame Palace Master, did not simply hate her sister.

His feelings were tangled between love and hate.

It was a twisted obsession, like blazing fire scorching his heart.

And the people in this Dimension were even harder to deal with than those in the few smaller Dimensions she had experienced before.

To complete Oasis Manor’s management mission and investigate the truth behind her sister’s disfigurement, Gu Huaiwei deliberately let herself be captured and allowed herself to be escorted into Blood Flame Palace.

In the deep, dark dungeon, firelight flickered, illuminating the damp, mottled stone walls. Gu Huaiwei’s wrists were bound by chains, and a small golden lock filled with spiritual energy hung around her fair neck.

“This was originally prepared for that woman, but now it’s being used on you.” Ya Qianyu stood before her, tall and slender, his wide sleeves stirring lightly. With lowered eyes, he gripped her chin, his thumb brushing over her eyes. “These eyes of yours aren’t like hers. How about I gouge them out?”

Gu Huaiwei closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling faintly.

“If my sister hadn’t saved you back then, you would’ve died beneath Falling Star Cliff long ago. She pulled you back from the brink of death, and this is how you repay her kindness?”

“You ruined my sister’s face, trapped her in this world for two hundred years, and destroyed the foundation she built with her own hands. You really deserve to die!”

Ya Qianyu’s eyes were dark and unreadable. Hearing Gu Huaiwei’s accusation, he suddenly let out a scornful laugh. “Was it that mangy cur Xu Sanyuan who told you? Then did he tell you why I did it?”

Before Gu Huaiwei could react, Ya Qianyu suddenly reached out and seized her by the throat.

A suffocating pressure swept through her whole body.

He laughed madly, his eyes brimming with blood-red hatred. “Your sister saved me only because of the Time Artifact I carried! It was something my father left me. You so-called righteous people are all sanctimonious hypocrites. You saved me for one reason only: so I’d become utterly devoted to you!”

Gu Huaiwei’s toes left the ground as she forced out, with difficulty, “What… Time Artifact?”

The man’s hand pressed against the corner of her eye. His fingertips were icy cold, and he mocked her in a strange, cutting tone. “You didn’t know? Then how innocent you are.

On the day of our wedding, that Time Artifact was the betrothal token I gave her. She took my possession, yet with Xu Sanyuan’s help, she fled from my side.

She used my Time Artifact to extend your life. Then you should bear her fate and repay the debt she owes me.”

In the Real World, Gu Changge had Jiang Richen, and in the cultivation Dimension, she had Xu Sanyuan. Her sister had always liked serious men like that. No matter what, it never would have been the demonic cultivator before her.

Ya Qianyu cultivated evil techniques, killing people and taking their blood. Gu Changge’s moral standards were even higher than Gu Huaiwei’s. Faced with someone like him, she would only want to eliminate him as quickly as possible. She would never harbor even the slightest attachment.

Not to mention that Ya Qianyu had imprisoned her sister for so long.

He had hindered her sister’s management of this Dimension.

He had even ruined her sister’s face.

Any one of those things would have been enough for her sister to hack him into a thousand pieces.

Ya Qianyu released Gu Huaiwei’s throat only when she was on the verge of suffocating.

Weak with exhaustion, Gu Huaiwei dropped to her knees on the freezing stone floor. Cold sweat slid down from her temples as she gulped down breath, her chest rising and falling sharply. She looked at the man before her with disgust. “What wedding? You forced my sister into that.”

Ya Qianyu looked down at her, his black eyes like a bottomless abyss. “Even if it was forced, that woman agreed to it with her own mouth.”

“You really are shameless.” Gu Huaiwei turned her head away.

Ya Qianyu seemed to have thought of something that excited him. He pressed down on Gu Huaiwei’s shoulder, forcing her to look at him, cruel excitement curling on his lips.
“She once knelt before me and begged me to let her leave.” Ya Qianyu’s voice trembled with pleasure. “She said she couldn’t spend that long in this world. She had a very important person waiting for her, and if she didn’t make it back in time, that person would die.”

“So I deliberately kept her trapped for two hundred years, making it impossible for her to get away from the Time Artifact in my possession.”

“Such a proud woman. When I ruined her face, she didn’t make a sound, yet she was willing to kneel before me for him.”

“Is he really that important?”

Gu Huaiwei’s brows knit tightly. She had long guessed that her sister’s time in this Dimension had not gone well, but hearing these words with her own ears still made her want to hack this scum who had humiliated her sister into pieces.

Fortunately, the final-stage management mission for Oasis Manor was to destroy the demonic sect.

And at this moment, that was exactly what she wanted to do.

Ya Qianyu announced to the outside world that three days later would be the day of his grand wedding to Gu Huaiwei.

There were already many concubines in his harem.

More or less, each of them resembled Gu Changge.

When Gu Huaiwei was brought out of the basement and placed under house arrest in a side room of his rear courtyard, everyone said that Ya Qianyu loved Gu Changge to the point of madness, and that he had finally found the perfect substitute.

Gu Huaiwei naturally could not avoid harassment from those concubines.

Only after she injured a few who went too far did the courtyard where she lived finally quiet down.

Ya Qianyu did not pursue the matter.

He was actually a very cold-hearted man.

And what he felt for her sister was definitely not sincere love.

Love is tenderness and protection.

Obsession is possession and destruction.

A fiery red wedding dress was delivered before Gu Huaiwei. Ya Qianyu stood in front of her, eagerly waiting for her to try it on for him.

He covered her eyes with a strip of black cloth.

“In front of me, you must keep your head lowered forever.”

“If you open your eyes during the wedding, I’ll kill you.”

Gu Huaiwei cooperated obediently.

Despicable as Ya Qianyu was, he had no intention of touching Gu Huaiwei before the wedding.

When she put on the wedding dress, He Xueyi was already hiding in the ceiling beams.

“Have you found that Time Artifact yet?”

“Following the map you gave, Lin She searched the entire Blood Flame Palace from top to bottom and still couldn’t find it.” He jumped down from the beam, his snow-white robes fluttering. When he saw the glaring red wedding dress on Gu Huaiwei, he smiled, though the smile did not reach his golden eyes. “The Time Artifact is most likely on Ya Qianyu himself.”

“I really don’t want to wait until the bridal chamber, then take advantage of him being naked to search his body.”

“That isn’t a bad idea.”

Gu Huaiwei shot him a glare.

Things were already this urgent, and he still had the mood to joke.

“Actually, there’s another way.”

“What way?” Gu Huaiwei casually picked up a white jade hairpin and pinned it into her hair. Standing before the bronze mirror, with the vivid red wedding dress accentuating her features, she looked even more striking. “The five of us join forces, pin him down, strip him, and search him?”

He Xueyi rejected Gu Huaiwei’s simple and brutal plan. “The people in this Dimension are not that easy to deal with. If we really do that, he’ll drag us down with him. Our deaths don’t matter. Paradise has as many Assistants as it wants. But if Paradise’s foundation is destroyed, your management path will end in this Dimension.”

Gu Huaiwei pressed her lips together and said nothing.

That was exactly what she was worried about too.

“You can try making him take it out willingly.”

Gu Huaiwei cast He Xueyi a cool glance through the mirror and reminded him, “The one he likes is my sister, not me.”

“Then let him see your sister’s shadow in you.”
