Two hours was enough time to do many things.

Jiang Chengxue took out the leftover agarwood from the incense burner, “Isn’t this Chinese honeycomb?”

Xie Shang’s patience had run out, his violent emotions peaked, and he pulled open the desk, kicking at Jiang Chengxue’s chest with one foot.

The sound of the desk scraping the floor was piercing, the incense burner rolled off, scattering ashes everywhere, Jiang Chengxue’s back hit the cabinet, his heart ached violently, he braced himself on the ground, breathing hurriedly, with cold sweat seeping from his temples.

Xie Shang looked down, staring at Jiang Chengxue on the ground, “What did you do to her?”

“I just lit it,” Jiang Chengxue coughed heavily, raised his head, slowed his breathing, and spoke slowly, uttering the term only those familiar with fragrances would understand, “Daydream Fragrance.”

Jiang Chengxue wasn’t a fan of fragrances, his little understanding was solely because he had investigated everyone around Wen Changling.

On the desk, next to the incense burner, there was a Guqin. Xie Shang pressed down on the tuning box, snapping the strings violently. The sudden force elicited a long series of harsh twangs. Wen Changling had still played songs on this Guqin this morning, but now it was ruined. Xie Shang used the strings to tighten around Jiang Chengxue’s arm, not uttering another word, he exerted his full strength, with the single desire to cripple the hand that had touched Wen Changling.

The fine yet sharp strings were extremely sharp, the flesh tore in an instant, drops of blood hit the floor, starting as single drops and then spurting out.

Xie Shang didn’t even blink.

This Guqin was made a hundred years ago by three craftsmen over a month, its strings named ‘Thousand Gold Silk,’ incredibly strong, the strings wouldn’t break, even if bones did.

The flesh was being sliced through raw, Xie Shang’s sleeves were covered in blood.

Excessive blood loss and cardiac pressure sapped Jiang Chengxue’s strength; from beginning to end, he did not struggle. With half his life gone, he simply watched calmly as Xie Shang inflicted violence, his pupils nearly pure black, like an endless night, impenetrable by anyone.

His face was very pale, his lips a ghastly color, yet he still appeared self-satisfied, his gaze so proud without a hint of defeated embarrassment, “If it weren’t for you tripping her up, she would have come looking for me after dealing with all her enemies, to capture my faults, she would have stayed by my side.”

The flesh on the arm was now indiscernible; the strings were moving toward the bone.

Jiang Chengxue couldn’t care less, “Xie Shang, you’ve messed up my plans.”

The air still carried the unspent fragrance of the Chinese honeycomb, but Xie Shang was in no mood to guess what Jiang Chengxue’s Daydream meant. He just wanted Jiang Chengxue dead, and then he would console Wen Changling, telling her nothing had happened.
