Chapter 37: Even the Grim Reaper Has a Broken Heart!:
“I remember now… I remember who that guy named Shen is!”
Amid a heap of empty liquor bottles, a young man with tear-streaked cheeks suddenly leapt to his feet. His expression was first ecstatic—then twisted with fury.
“That bastard… that guy named Shen dared to deceive my Linlin?!”
Wei Yun’s eyes surged with uncontrollable rage and killing intent.
It all came back to him. Yesterday afternoon, at the gate of Magic Capital University, the man driving that red, limited-edition Lamborghini was Shen Anyu. He had even picked up Su Hongmian—one of the three campus goddesses of Magic Capital University.
Even though Wei Yun had only glanced at them briefly and didn’t pay much attention at the time, as a peak Innate Realm assassin king, he had memorized their faces clearly.
Back then, he hadn’t cared at all—not about the supercar, nor about Su Hongmian, no matter how beautiful and proud she was. None of it mattered.
Because in his heart, there was only one person—Jiang Linlin.
Did they not understand the value of a pure love Destiny’s Chosen? A heart that belonged to one person for a lifetime?
In Wei Yun’s world, nothing was more important than Linlin. He didn’t care if the world burned—without Linlin, the world meant nothing.
The Grim Reaper doesn’t cry. If he does, it’s only for Linlin.
“Linlin must not know that guy Shen already has a girlfriend—and it’s Su Hongmian, a campus beauty at that. That Shen must be lying to her, playing with her feelings!”
The thought made Wei Yun grit his teeth until they nearly shattered. He had to tell Jiang Linlin. He had to expose Shen Anyu’s true colors.
And more than that—
“That bastard Shen… you must die!”
“Not just you. Your entire family, all your friends—every last one of them must die!”
“They’re all tainted by your sins. All of them deserve death!”
Wei Yun’s eyes glinted with deadly light, and the murderous aura radiating from him sent chills down any soul nearby.
The terrifying assassin king of the dark world—Death himself, Wei Yun—was truly enraged.
He had killed over a thousand people and stepped over mountains of corpses, yet even when he slaughtered the Asura leader, he hadn’t felt this level of hatred.
But now, the pure, innocent Linlin—his only light—had been tainted by a heartless, womanizing young master.
This, he could not accept!
“It’s not Linlin’s fault. She’s innocent… she was deceived!”
Wei Yun clenched his fists, his heart raging with grief, but he would never blame Jiang Linlin.
However…
“That bastard Shen… I’ll make sure you understand the pain of being slowly cut to pieces, slashed by a thousand blades, set ablaze in every corner of hell!”
Right now, Wei Yun had already envisioned how he would deal with Shen Anyu—he would make his death as agonizing as possible.
Only then could his rage be calmed.
He even planned to torment Shen Anyu’s loved ones in front of him, forcing him to watch as everyone he cared about was brutally tortured to death.
Wei Yun was no saint. He had slaughtered over a thousand, many of them innocent, without a shred of guilt.
Only after returning to Magic Capital and seeing the untainted Jiang Linlin again did he begin to suppress his bloodlust, disguising himself as an ordinary security guard at the university.
He had only then begun to feel remorse. He had wanted to make amends. He had dreamed of one day removing the human-skin mask and facing Jiang Linlin with honesty—to live with her openly.
But now, before he even had the chance to speak the truth, Shen Anyu had swooped in and stolen her away.
“Still… past mistakes can be corrected now.”
“Linlin, I will tell you everything. I’ll atone for your parents’ deaths and the suffering you’ve endured these twenty years. I’ll treat you like the most precious treasure in the world—more precious than my life—and protect you forever.”
“I’ll make you the most beautiful bride, the most beautiful wife, the most beautiful mother. We’ll have the cutest daughter together. I’ll help take care of Granny Zhong too, until her final days…”
As he imagined that beautiful future, a smile crept onto Wei Yun’s face.
Then, in a flash, he sped off in the direction of Granny Zhong’s new home—like a ghost in the night.
Darkness had fallen. The city lights dimmed as night fully took over.
He had already wasted far too much time. He couldn’t afford to lose any more.
Once he explained everything, once he killed Shen Anyu—the liar who had deceived Linlin—everything would return to how it should be.
He and Linlin would have the most beautiful and happiest life together.
That was a promise.
…
On the other side.
“Brother Shen… do I look pretty?”
Jiang Linlin nervously twisted the hem of her skirt, spinning shyly in front of Shen Anyu.
She was wearing a lilac Chanel dress that hugged her waist and showed off her graceful figure perfectly.
As she twirled, the hem of her skirt fluttered, and even without perfume, a light, sweet fragrance of youth drifted into Shen Anyu’s nose.
He smiled as he gazed at the pure and beautiful girl before him.
It was already nightfall. The two of them were in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
Earlier that day, Shen Anyu had helped Jiang Linlin and Granny Zhong move into a luxury apartment in a high-end residential district. He had bought them all the daily necessities, clothing, and more.
At first, Jiang Linlin didn’t want to accept it—she insisted on living independently.
But Shen Anyu persuaded her, claiming it was on Wei Yun’s behalf.
He explained that living in a rundown home in the suburbs was dangerous. If Wei Yun ever went berserk, they could be harmed.
Jiang Linlin agreed immediately. Clearly, she still harbored deep fear of Wei Yun, convinced that the “monster” could do anything.
In the past, while Jiang Linlin was busy studying and streaming to earn money, she had paid a neighbor woman 5,000 yuan a month to look after Granny Zhong.
Now, in their new home, Shen Anyu had arranged for professional caregivers and a full-time housekeeper. It was a huge improvement for Granny Zhong as well.
All the dreams they had cherished for so long… had suddenly become reality.
Jiang Linlin gazed deeply at the handsome young man before her. She knew—it was all because of him that her life had changed.
“Brother Shen… you’ve done so much for me. I really don’t know how I’ll ever repay you.”
Shen Anyu gently pulled Jiang Linlin into his arms, gazing at her tenderly. He spoke softly, “Linlin, is there any need for thanks between us?”
“You are the woman I want to protect for the rest of my life.”
Jiang Linlin’s lovely, delicate face was filled with emotion. Her beautiful eyes glistened with warmth and gratitude…
