Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Chapter 111 They clearly liked each other so much

However, now that it's changed like this, it shouldn't be discovered.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chang Heng's face: "After you leave here, you must grow up well."

"Heng'er..." Just as Chang Heng was teasing the child, the puppet body that had been motionless finally stirred.

Changheng looked up when she heard the voice and met a pair of eyes full of worry.

Looking at the puppet body before her, Chang Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She is neither the real Chang Heng nor the current Chang Heng, but this puppet body... was once a part of Qing Jue's soul. Now that the soul has left, all she has are the memories of the past and the memories that have been modified and added.

Changheng was a little sad.

She liked Qingjue very much, but there was no future for her and Qingjue. However, his soul loved Princess Changheng so much.

Memories awaken within Princess Changheng, and now Changheng knows better than anyone whether Princess Changheng's feelings for Bai Qingjue are love or something else.

When ten-year-old Changheng first saw Bai Qingjue, he was being beaten up. He was a tiny, delicate, and adorable little thing, and his defiant expression looked just like a baring-toothed puppy.

At first glance, Chang Heng was immediately captivated and ran over to rescue Bai Qingjue.

Later, Princess Changheng learned about Bai Qingjue's identity from her brother and also learned of the rumors that he would not live past the age of twenty, which made her very distressed.

Later, when her father bestowed a marriage upon her, Changheng was initially unaware that the Bai family had used half of their wealth to secure the marriage. Once she found out, she felt that her father's actions were too humiliating for the Bai family and for Bai Qingjue, which is why she wanted to defy the imperial decree.

Apart from the then-Crown Prince of Beiming, no one knew that Changheng had said something else on the day she defied the imperial decree.

She was willing to form a bond with Bai Qingjue without needing half of the Bai family's wealth to ask for his help.

That was the first time Changheng revealed her true feelings, but... it was met with eleven years of silence because Changheng made a mistake.

She thought that no matter how strict her father was with her, he was still her father and would love her a little. He would treat the Bai family better because of his love for her. So she revealed her true feelings to her father and brother.

However, instead of receiving the emperor's favor, he was enraged.

He could exchange half of the Bai family's wealth for a marriage arranged by the emperor, but his daughter absolutely could not have feelings for that short-lived bastard of the Bai family!

The Northern Underworld Emperor looked at his daughter kneeling on the ground and said, word by word, "Heng'er, you can't like Bai Qingjue. He can't stay with you for long."

Upon hearing this, Chang Heng thought she would work hard to cultivate and find good spiritual medicine to prolong his life.

Before she could speak, she heard the Northern Underworld Emperor say, "He was destined to die young. If you have feelings for him, he may not even live to his death."

Changheng suddenly looked up, staring at her father in disbelief.

Looking at Chang Heng's expression, the Northern Underworld Emperor smiled and said, "Heng'er, do you understand what your father means?"

That day, Chang Heng realized for the first time how cold the Northern Underworld Empire was, and it was also the first time she learned what kind of person her father, the emperor, really was.

Bai Qingjue...

Changheng slowly lowered her head: "Your subject will remember your father's wishes."

"Alright." The Northern Underworld Emperor smiled and reached out to help Chang Heng up. "There are plenty of good men in the world, why should Heng'er worry about a short-lived one?"

"You like him now only because he's better looking and cuter than other kids his age. When you get older, you'll realize that looks are useless," Emperor Beiming said. "Your father will keep an eye out for someone who is truly right for you."

Changheng felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. When she saw her brother's expression beside her, she smiled and said, "Father is right. He will come to the palace to see me tomorrow, so I will not see him."

Looking at Chang Heng's face, the Northern Underworld Emperor smiled and said, "We still have to see him. Just don't care about him."

Before Chang Heng could answer, the Northern Underworld Emperor said again, "Even if you don't see him, you must make proper arrangements for him. He is weak, and if he catches a cold and something happens to him, those people will start to have wild thoughts."

Changheng nodded: "Father, I understand."

From that day on, whenever Chang Heng saw Bai Qingjue again, she remained forever distant and indifferent.

But no one knows that when she is alone, Changheng reminisces about their time together.

From the age of ten to twenty-one, Changheng only had Bai Qingjue, who was always chasing after her.

In the past, wherever she went, Bai Qingjue would follow. She would speak coldly, but she was happy inside. Only this time... when she saw Bai Qingjue appear in Xuecun, Changheng felt afraid.

As Bai Qingjue grew older, his health deteriorated, and he was no longer as healthy as before. Every time Chang Heng saw him and saw his pale face, she thought to herself more than once that no matter what, if he didn't live past the age of twenty, she should let him know her feelings.

No, that won't do. Under the guise of teaching, Father has arranged for an elder to stay by her side. Her every move and word will be reported to Father by the elder. If she dares to let Bai Qingjue know her feelings today, she will see Bai Qingjue's corpse tomorrow.

When Bai Qingjue was sixteen, he fell ill and it almost killed him. When Chang Heng learned of this, she went to visit him at the Bai family home. She could visit him as his fiancée, but she couldn't really show that she cared about him.

After returning to the palace that day, Changheng went to see her brother.

The elder was right outside the door, and Chang Heng couldn't say anything; she could only weep silently.

The Crown Prince of Beiming looked at Chang Heng, gently wiped away her tears, and wrote a sentence in her palm: "Give your brother some more time."

Chang Heng felt those words, but what came out of her mouth was: "I think he doesn't have long to live. If he dies, the marriage will be null and void. Brother, do you have any outstanding men around you? If so, you must keep an eye out for Heng'er."

Looking at Chang Heng's appearance, the Crown Prince of Beiming felt heartbroken: "Heng'er, don't worry, your brother will definitely find you a man you like."

Her brother wanted to find her a man she liked, and she needed to give him some time. Therefore, the matter of Qianshuang City could not be handled by her brother.

Before she set off, she specifically asked the envoy from Qianshuang City to explain in public how critical the situation in Qianshuang City was, so that everyone would know how dangerous Qianshuang City was. Once the news spread, given the Bai family's love and care for Qingjue, they would never let him come to such a dangerous place. But he came.

She wanted him to leave, so she told him that if he didn't want to upset her, he should go back to the capital.

She wanted him to listen, but he didn't.

When Chang Heng saw the Bai family elder who had shielded her from the attack, she knew that the boy she loved would never leave the snowfield.

If we cannot be together in life, then being able to rest in one place after death would fulfill our wish.

They clearly loved each other so much, and their hearts were always filled with each other, but Changheng was in a coma and couldn't see Bai Qingjue, who belonged only to her, one last time.

As for Bai Qingjue... he is now merely a puppet.

Neither in the past nor now has a good outcome.

Chang Heng looked at the puppet body: "Qing Jue, I don't like the name 'Jiu', I want to change it."

The puppet Bai Qingjue said sadly, "Jiu means long-lasting..."

Chang Heng knew, and precisely because she knew, she didn't want it to be that word.
