Chapter 5: It Was Just an Accident

"Xuan'er..."

Jun Zixi's agitated voice drifted from the distance.

Mu Yunxuan looked back; his family had all arrived. He then looked toward the direction Su Zimo had departed, but Su Zimo's figure was already nowhere to be seen, leaving Mu Yunxuan with an inexplicable sense of urgency.

Without time to think, he quickly took flight to chase after her.

"Xuan'er, where are you going...?"

"Big Brother..."

Mu Yunxuan turned a deaf ear and vanished from the spot instantly.

"Huff... huff...!" Su Zimo gasped for breath in large gulps. "Ugh! I'm exhausted to death. Running uphill really can take a person's life; it's terrifying. This place is actually a cemetery? This Mu family is truly inhumane! They could even go as far as arranging a ghost marriage—and didn't that Mu Yunxuan not die?"

Su Zimo muttered to herself as she ran, her heart filled with confusion.

She couldn't help but grumble inwardly; life changes in an instant and is impossible to grasp. Just when she was in her most upright, glorious, and dazzling moments, heaven dealt her a sudden blow. Just now, when she felt her glorious days were arriving and was feeling self-satisfied, fate threw a bucket of cold water on her. She had actually transmigrated. Heh! Could it not be something even more badass? Everything she had done before was in vain.

"Su Zimo, come back here!"

Mu Yunxuan flew through the air, shouting from not far behind Su Zimo, his voice laced with anger.

"Go back? Only a ghost would go back with you! You shameless, bottomless, dead-as-a-doornail bastard, don't follow me!"

Su Zimo shouted loudly. Not only did she not look back, but she also quickened her pace. The heavy rain soaked her entire body, and the cumbersome wedding dress made her running even more strenuous.

"Stop running! It's dangerous ahead!"

Mu Yunxuan never dreamed that there would come a day when he would be so loathed. If any other woman had encountered such a situation, she would have long since pressured him to marry her, yet this Su Zimo wanted to flee from him. The sense of unwillingness and the blow to his pride made him incessantly want her to go back with him.

"Su Zimo, stop! Come back here! It's dangerous ahead!"

Mu Yunxuan frowned, watching her get closer and closer to the cliff edge, and a sense of worry began to rise in his heart.

"Dangerous ahead? To hell with you! The most dangerous person is a beast like you! Only a fool would stop! If I get caught and taken back to be a sacrificial bride, wouldn't I, Su Zimo, be terribly wronged?"

Su Zimo didn't believe Mu Yunxuan's words at all. What she never could have dreamed of was that she was truly only one or two meters away from the precipice. Furthermore, since it was night, Su Zimo's vision was limited only to the lightning constantly flashing on the horizon.

"You damn woman, you actually dare to curse me!"

Mu Yunxuan was already only a few feet away from her and had heard every word Su Zimo said. Instantly, anger rose in his deep black eyes; he truly wanted to turn around and leave.

"You beast, don't you remember what you've done? Your brain really is problematic; you're seriously ill, and you need treatment immediately!"

"Su Zimo, that was just an accident!"

Mu Yunxuan explained urgently. Ordinarily, he wouldn't have deigned to argue, but Su Zimo was so unexpected that he had even blurted it out.

"An accident?" Su Zimo turned her head to look at Mu Yunxuan, paying no attention to what was in front of her. Suddenly, the ground beneath Su Zimo's feet gave way. "Ah...!"

A terrified scream pierced the night sky, followed immediately by the sound of tumbling rocks. The lightning and thunder vanished in an instant, leaving only a long, terrified scream to be heard.
