Chapter 1: The fragrance of a single incense stick can fill an entire room. What I resent most is you.

  I stared straight into his eyes and said in a low voice, "If I say it's not true, will you believe me?"

  His face looked ugly, narrowing his sharp eyes and staring at me closely, "You can try it out! See if I will believe you or not!"

  He won't believe it! He had long been certain who I was, but for some reason he refused to say it out loud! I remembered the profound smile in his eyes when we were in the Snow Army. It turned out that he was actually laughing at this all along!

  "I thought I could deceive heaven and cross the sea, but unexpectedly, everything is in the palm of your hand! That's right! I am Ye Hanmei! I am the one who has been against you for so many years and drowned your 50,000 troops. Are you satisfied now, Your Highness?" I said coldly.

  His face turned pale! You let me go, staring at me coldly, "Ye Hanmei? Are you Ye Hanmei? Haha! Hahaha!" He looked out the window and laughed coldly. "You really are her!"

  I smiled calmly, "What if it is? What if it isn't?"

  He turned around, "I hope to hear from your mouth that you are not her! Whether it's true or false, I will choose to believe! But you admitted it! If you were just using the name of Ye Hanmei by my side, I could still tolerate you. But you admitted that you are indeed Ye Hanmei! Do you know who I hate the most in this life? It's you, Ye Hanmei!" He said, and then he lifted my chin, pinching it tightly! His strength was great, as if he wanted to crush my jaw! His eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, and I smiled coldly, not expecting that the three words "Ye Hanmei" would give him such a huge shock! Letting him want to put me to death!

  "Unexpectedly, the king actually hated Hanmei so much!" I smiled calmly.

  "He glared at me with a fierce gaze. 'Hate you?' he said loudly. 'Of course I hate you! If it weren't for you, I would have been the husband of Binglan by now! If it weren't for you, she and I wouldn't have to be separated! If it weren't for you, I would have defeated that old scoundrel Jiuliang long ago! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my invincible 50,000-strong naval force and died before achieving victory! Fifty thousand people! Ye Hanmei! Each person represents a family! That means almost every household in Jiangguo has been bereaved of one person because of you! How cruel are you?! How can you bear to do this?! So many people... gone just like that! The battle at Chiyan Island was where I finally saw your ruthlessness! No wonder everyone says, when Ye Hanmei goes into battle, she never brings her own men within a ten-zhang radius! Everyone only needs to watch her take action alone and it's all settled! It turns out you're just a bloodthirsty demon! As soon as you pick up your sword, you don't recognize anyone... including Yuntian... including your own people!' He said coldly, then suddenly slapped my face with his palm!"

  "Ah! He actually hates me that much! I coldly spat out the blood in my mouth, and resentfully said, 'I remember, previously on Red Flame Island, you personally killed the Dragon God Army! Why? For someone like me who loves to kill, why did you do it for me?!' I loudly questioned."

  He curled his lips, slightly raised his head, "Because, until just now, I didn't think you were Ye Hanmei! And I always thought you were a useful material! It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to find a good general! Faced with someone like you, I cherish talent and love talent! For you, killing a few gods is nothing!"

  "Is that so?" With an icy heart, she slightly raised her head, revealing her slender white neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then take advantage of my being paralyzed by the snake venom and cut off my head!"

  His sharp eyes stared at me, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Ye Hanmei! Do you think that with this provocative method, I won't kill you? I am not a Jianghu person, nor am I a gentleman! I am a soldier! What does a soldier value most? It's victory! Taking advantage of someone's weakness, although it earns an unjust name, is a thrilling win!" He said, his hand slowly pressing the Thunderbolt.

  Clang! The sword is out of its scabbard! In just the blink of an eye, it's pressed against my neck! He glares at me with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

  I fearlessly raised my head, a cold smile spreading from the corners of my lips. The two of us just kept staring at each other like this.

  A hint of panic appeared in his eyes. He shouted loudly, "You're about to die, what are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

  "I'm afraid, will the king spare my life? Rather than that, I'd rather laugh at life and death!" I said calmly.

  His eyes shone brightly, staring at mine in such surprise! He lifted my chin with his left hand, "Do you know? It was precisely because of your unyielding gaze that I was moved from the start! I would spare no expense, not even revealing your true identity as a woman, just to keep you by my side!" After saying this, he carefully and tremblingly kissed my eyes.

  I can even feel his trembling lips and intense heartbeat!

  "Yuelan!" I reminded him in a trembling voice. He shuddered all over, took a slight step back from me, still pointing his sword at me, and said patiently, "Her name is not for you to call! Ye Hanmei! You are not worthy of calling her name!"

  "You say loving words with your mouth, but treat me like this! Dragon anger! What are you thinking in your heart?! If you hate me so much, why don't you just kill me?! Why do you still want to treat me like this?!" I asked loudly.

  He frowned painfully. His whole body trembled. The sword tip slightly exerted force, and actually cut through my delicate white neck! Seeing the bright red blood, he hesitated for a moment, put down his sword, stretched out his tongue to lick it lightly, and took in the dripping blood droplets into his lips!

  "How dare you suck my blood?" I exclaimed loudly. "Don't you know how poisonous my blood is?"

  "I knew it all along! From the Red Flame Island battle, I already knew! Before, you had no power, first, Leng Ya gave you a bit of poison, second, I had someone cure your blood toxin! So now, you're just an ordinary person! And dealing with an ordinary person, is like dealing with an ordinary woman, I have a better method than killing!" He said, then tore open my clothes and lowered his head to kiss me!
