Chapter 923

After finishing everything, she turned to face Yan Aohan. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She only lowered her head, unsure of how Yan Aohan would look at her.

Yan Aohan walked over and gently pulled her into his arms. "Are you happy now?" his tone was so gentle, without a trace of blame.

"Not happy. Actually, killing isn't fun," she said, her voice muffled. It was the first time in her past and present lives that she had killed someone with her own hands. She truly disliked it. Especially since these hands were originally meant to save lives, yet now they had taken a life.

Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "It's okay. When I killed someone for the first time, I felt that same heavy feeling. Later, after doing it many times, I got used to it."

Zhu Yanyi was stunned. She looked up at her. Her eyes held only sincere emotion, no other colors, and certainly no hint of disgust toward her. "Don't you think I'm scary?"

"Why would I think you're scary?" Yan Aohan asked in return.

"I used poison to kill her," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Since ancient times, vicious women are called 'the most poisonous are women's hearts.' Although I didn't poison my heart, I used poison to kill someone today."

Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi with bright, intense eyes. "Why did you kill her?"

"Because she betrayed Grandpa Yao and caused harm to Grandpa Chun," Zhu Yanyi murmured. She knew she was not wrong, but she still wasn't used to the fact that she had killed someone.

"That's right," Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "You killed him because of his betrayal, which led to Grandpa Yao's disappearance and Grandpa Chun's injury. Such a person deserved to die. You didn't harm the innocent at random. Why do you think I would find you scary?"

Zhu Yanyi was stunned again. She looked up at Yan Aohan. Why was he so anxious? Because he cared about her thoughts, about her opinion. She had long realized that he actually cared about her. "I'm not wrong. I know I'm not wrong. But I'm worried you'll be afraid of me. Because I was originally a doctor, but today I acted as a killer, using medicine to kill."

"This is self-defense," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi with great seriousness. His expression wasn't one of comfort, but rather that this was how it should be. "I have always worried that you were too kind, because you never deliberately imagine the bad in people. Actually, you're not unaware that there are many bad people in the world, but you don't want to think about it. That's why you let go of the person who followed you in Jinling. Today, you killed someone for self-defense, to warn your enemies, and to avenge your relatives. I think it's very normal."

Yan Aohan's eyes were full of tenderness, and his expression softened. "Ani, you must know that I am known as Venerable Yanluo, and I have never been a good person. You are the Yan Queen I have chosen, so naturally, you won't be a purely good person either. Even in the Buddhist realm, there is the Immovable Wisdom King who presides over killing, let alone us. In this life, if there are doctors, there must be killers. It's a very normal thing."

Hearing Yan Aohan's words, Zhu Yanyi couldn't help but agree with his view. She looked up. "So, you won't dislike me for killing just now."

"Why would I dislike you? If I disliked you, wouldn't that mean I dislike my own judgment?" Yan Aohan smiled at Zhu Yanyi. "Is my judgment really that bad? Or do you hope I dislike you?"

"Nonsense," Zhu Yanyi said, relieved. A smile appeared on her face. She simply buried her head in her arms. "I've never thought of disliking you. I was just worried you would ignore me."
