Chapter 1883 1884 Crazy Red

"You're crazy! You're courting your own death!" The man collapsed to the ground, tears and snot mixed together, staining the neat clothes he once took pride in. At this moment, he no longer had the dignity of a nobleman. He used all his strength to roar at Sophia, his voice as hoarse as a broken bellows: "You will die! We will all die!"

Sophia glanced at him with contempt, as if she was looking at a dying insect. She carelessly combed her flaming red hair with her slender fingers, looked at herself in the mirror, and admired her delicate makeup, as if she didn't hear the man's wailing.

"Who knows?" She said it frivolously with a hint of playfulness, as if death was just a game to her.

The man struggled desperately, trying to reach out for the pills scattered on the Persian carpet. That was his last hope, but his shaking hands could not exert any strength. He was in agony and begged in tears: "Please, Sophia, give up! Give up this crazy plan. We can still hide our identities and start over. Maybe... maybe we can live another life..."

He knew that once he showed up at Tang Mo's coronation ceremony with Sophia, he would be on a path of no return. Whether Sophia's plan succeeded or not, only death was waiting for him.

The poison of the black crow had already penetrated into his bones, corroding his body, destroying his will, and making him live a life worse than death. The pain of gnawing bones followed him everywhere, tormenting him all the time, forcing him to succumb to Sophia's madness. In addition to the fear of death, what he could not bear even more was the pain brought by the black crow, which was more terrible than death, and made him choose to die instead.

Sophia turned around slowly and looked down at the man on the ground, her eyes full of indifference and disdain: "Give up? If I give up, Sophia will be dead. What's the point of living for a body without a soul?"

The word "we" in the man's words hurt Sophia deeply. She had never considered spending the rest of her life with some mediocre idiots. Being alive was not the most important thing for her. Living with trash was even a torture for her.

In her opinion, this man was as lowly as a maggot, and even looking at him was a disgrace to her eyes. In name, she was his wife, but in reality, she had never let him touch her finger.

Sophia clenched her fists suddenly, her knuckles turned white, and they trembled slightly from excessive force: "You don't understand at all!" She spoke each word clearly, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. The sound was sharp and piercing, like the noise of glass scratching on a blackboard.

"Revenge!" She paused and took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the anger into her lungs: "Revenge is the only motivation for me to live!"

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes burning with crazy flames, desperate like a trapped beast but full of strength. She approached the man, looking down at him, her eyes full of contempt and disgust: "I must make Tang Mo pay the price!"

She gnashed her teeth, each word filled with deep hatred: "Let him know that I am the ultimate winner!"

She turned around gently and reached out her hand to brush against the things on the coffee table. The delicate porcelain shattered to the ground with a crisp sound, which frightened the man lying on the ground and struggling.

The high-purity Black Crow pills in the porcelain jars rolled onto the carpet. The dark color was like a tempting black hole. The man lying on the ground looked even more painful. He was really about to lose control completely.

The man curled up in pain and trembled uncontrollably, his face pale and sweat pouring down. He struggled to get up but could only roll weakly on the carpet again and again.

"You're crazy!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse and with a hint of desperate crying.

"You've gone completely crazy! This road is a dead end, and there will be no good outcome!" He stretched out his trembling hands, trying to grab Sophia's calf, but missed.

Sophia snorted disdainfully, her eyes were cold, as if she was looking at an ant: "Humph!"

She turned around and walked towards the window step by step, her beautiful bare feet stepping on the soft carpet without making any sound, as if the god of death was walking.

"The reason why I failed before," she said slowly, her voice low but full of power: "is because I wasn't crazy enough!"

She turned around abruptly, a fierce light flashing in her eyes: "If I had been more ruthless and resolute back then..." She paused, took a deep breath and said ventingly: "Tang Mo would have lost long ago!"

She walked to the window, looking out at the bustling city decorated with a festive atmosphere, and her thoughts went back to twenty years ago. At that time, the Datang Group had not yet risen, and Tang Mo was just an unknown blacksmith. If she could use all the power of the Xirik Consortium, perhaps she could strangle the weak Tang Mo in the cradle. She closed her eyes, and the immature face of Tang Mo and the ambition flashing in his eyes emerged in her mind.

However, she did not have the ability to foresee the future at that time, nor could she risk everything. Moreover, at that time, there were many factions in Xirik, and no one would take a small blacksmith shop seriously. She slowly opened her eyes, and a trace of regret and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Today, Sophia has been completely blinded by her obsession with revenge. She cannot see the danger ahead and will not listen to any advice. She is like a programmed machine, heading towards destruction without hesitation.

"You are absolutely crazy..." The man squeezed out these words with difficulty, pointing at Sophia with a trembling finger, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief, "In this situation, you have no chance of winning! Look at yourself now, like a trapped beast, struggling to its death!"

"No!" Sophia smiled contemptuously, her tone full of confidence: "On the contrary, my chances of winning are very high. Do you think the empire built by Tang Mo is really unbreakable? Naive! This empire is built entirely on Tang Mo alone. He is the cornerstone of the empire. As long as he dies, the empire will collapse and disintegrate in an instant, just like a tall building that has lost its foundation and collapses."

"His men are really powerful." The man panted, stared at the pills in front of him and muttered to himself, "Love, Tiger, Chu Muzhou... they really won't obey each other. The Tang Empire will definitely fight among themselves, and by then they will fall apart without us having to do anything!"

"Even so." The man struggled to sit up and shouted in despair, "But you are already dead! Look at you, you are neither human nor ghost, you are already a dead person!"

"It doesn't matter." A hint of madness flashed in Sophia's eyes: "If I can die with him, I will be very happy. It is a great honor for me to go to hell with him."

"You..." The man looked at Sophia's crazy look and was speechless for a moment, leaving only a deep feeling of powerlessness.

"That's why I dyed my hair back to red..." Sophia stroked her long red hair, her eyes blurred, as if she had returned to the past: "Today, at the celebration, I will be the most beautiful woman... The moment he sees me, he will be filled with regret. This will be our first meeting, and it will also be his last day in this world."

The man was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but speak: "Do you really think he will regret it? He may not care about you at all. In his eyes, you may be nothing."

"No." Sophia's eyes suddenly became sharp: "He will regret it. I know him. I know what he desires most in his heart. I know what he wants most."

"If there is another world after death." Sophia's voice became soft, as if she was telling a beautiful dream: "I will allow him to kiss my hand... He is the only man who interests me, and I can give him this honor. He will regret being my enemy. He should kneel in front of me and lick my toes like other men... Give the Tang Empire to me as a gift!" "Crazy woman..." The man collapsed to the ground powerlessly, his eyes empty, muttering to himself: "You are a lunatic! You are completely crazy!"

“Hahahaha.” Sophia laughed loudly, her laughter full of madness and despair. “Thank you for the compliment. Hurry up and eat these black crows so that we can attend the most grand...ceremony in the world.”

"Don't be stubborn anymore..." The man begged bitterly: "Turn back, give up, Sophia! You still have a chance to start over! No matter how you live, people like you will live better than others..."

"There's no chance." Sophia shook her head, her eyes determined: "I've gone too far. There's no turning back."

"Are you really going to do this?" the man asked desperately.

"Yes!" Sophia answered firmly, "I have made up my mind."

She would not let anyone change her plan, which was the best outcome she had chosen for herself and the world.

"You will regret this!" the man roared.

"I don't regret it." Sophia said calmly, "I have never regretted it."

When she said this, Sophia seemed to remember something, as if something had passed away in her heart... What she wanted to destroy might be what she had longed to possess at some point in the past.

"Mad man! You mad man!" the man cursed again.

"Maybe." Sophia smiled faintly and looked at the clock on the wall: "But this is me."

"Take the medicine quickly!" Without waiting for the man to say anything else, she continued to urge him, "Time is running out. You'd better hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

"I..." The man hesitated.

"Don't be afraid." Sophia comforted him, "Death is not scary. What is scary is living like dead."

"I... don't want to die..." The man was still hesitant.

"Believe me." Sophia said gently, "A life worse than death is the most painful thing in the world. You are lucky that at least you can choose... and this will be the most correct choice in your life."

"We will go to hell together..." The man finally made up his mind, picked up a Black Crow pill with trembling hands, and put it into his mouth.

After the last line of defense was broken, and after the pain exceeded the fear of death, after he swallowed the first Black Crow Pill, he gave up on himself and began to grab the black pills on the ground and stuff them into his mouth.

That pitiful and humble appearance was like a poor beggar picking up leftovers from the ground. Sophia had no sympathy at all, she just looked down at the other person who was constantly devouring the black crow, revealing a sick smile.

"That's right." Sophia nodded with satisfaction: "Let's welcome a new beginning together."

"A new beginning..." the man muttered to himself. His body was no longer in pain. The effect of the drug made his eyes gradually become blurred. His face was filled with a morbid calmness and he looked like a walking corpse.

"Yes." Sophia answered affirmatively: "A new beginning... or a final ending."

……

The heavy oak door was gently pushed open by the butler, making a low creaking sound. What came into view was the tall figure of a man, dressed in a neat black suit, meticulously dressed, and regaining his former calm and wealthy self.

He stood beside the scarlet velvet sofa, like a loyal knight guarding Sophia who was sitting there. His eyes were no longer blurred, but replaced by an empty calmness, as if nothing mattered anymore. Sophia lazily leaned on the sofa, gently shaking a glass of amber wine in her hand, and the scarlet liquid swirled around her fingertips like a dancing flame.

"Master, the car is ready." The butler bowed slightly and said respectfully, "According to the time, you and your wife should set off." His voice was low and steady, with a subtle reminder.

Sophia placed the wine glass elegantly on the carved coffee table and slowly stood up. Her long red dress set off her fiery red hair, as if a burning flame was gently dancing. Time had left traces on her face, and life in the jungles of southern Dorne had made her skin no longer as fair as it was a dozen years ago, but her mature charm was still full of charm, still radiant and irresistible.

"I understand. Let's go." Sophia responded calmly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone. She walked towards the door with graceful steps, and the man followed her closely, like a loyal shadow.

The butler watched the two of them leave silently. His years of professionalism allowed him to hide all his emotions under a calm face. He had long been accustomed to the new lady's orders, and was used to keeping his mouth shut and not easily revealing his likes and dislikes.

The original mistress died inexplicably a few months ago, and the master quickly married this beautiful and mysterious woman. He knew something about what happened, but he could only bury his doubts deep in his heart. As a butler, his duty was to obey, not to question.

The black car started smoothly and merged into the endless stream of cars outside the window. Most of these cars were VIP cars going to the celebration, with gorgeous decorations and extraordinary style.

In a few hours, the world's largest coronation ceremony will begin in the center of the world, the largest city... Chang'an.

The sun shines through the car window onto Sofia's face, reflecting the ambition and desire in her eyes. She wants to step onto this stage, under the spotlight, to shock the world and make the world remember her beautiful red hair forever.
