Zhu Zining said, "This setup has a long story."

"Saintess Arena, you wouldn't mind me talking about your past, would you?"

The woman holding the umbrella was indeed Arena.

Arena said coldly, "If I said I minded, would you shut up?"

Zhu Zining laughed and said, "Saintess Arena, why be so angry? Without me, you would still be sleeping in this endless misty rain."

"Although the misty rain here is beautiful, it represents endless desolation."

"Speaking of which, you should be thanking me!"

"Without me, you wouldn't have seen Hou Qingyouxin again, would you?"

Arena snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Zhu Zining, however, continued to speak eloquently, "The cause and effect of this setup has to start from when Hou Qingyouxin was ordered to guard Ghost Wind Valley."

"Hou Qingyouxin was actually also a Miao person, and the closest existence to the Witch God in the Miao region; he was also the undisputed King of the Miao region."

"Hou Qingyouxin had a glorious life, but the only thing he couldn't decide for himself was that he had to marry the Miao Saintess, Arena."

"Speaking of which, you can probably guess that this is a very cliché story, right?"

"The person Hou Qingyouxin truly loved was not Arena, but another Han Chinese woman."

"Because Hou Qingyouxin's mission was to guard Ghost Wind Valley, but the person Hou Qingyouxin loved came from the Central Plains, and he himself greatly admired Central Plains culture."

"Hou Qingyouxin's greatest wish was to leave the Miao region with his beloved and settle in the Central Plains, spending their lives together."

"Unfortunately, his mission prevented him from leaving the Miao region. After much deliberation, he finally came up with an idea, which was to build the Misty Rain Tower to suppress Ghost Wind Valley. That's why he sought out Earth Master—Bu Ting."

"The real drama unfolded after Bu Ting arrived."

Zhu Zining paused as if she was tired, "Saintess Arena, I'm about to talk about your sad past, and I hope you can control yourself."

"I can tell you the truth, the two men in front of you are Hou Qingyouxin's brothers in life and death."

"If you can't help but kill them."

"You and Hou Qingyouxin will probably find it difficult to meet again."

The veins on Arena's hand holding the umbrella were popping out, indicating that she was extremely angry.

Not knowing if Zhu Zining could see Arena's state, she continued to speak on her own.

"The news of Hou Qingyouxin's large-scale construction in Ghost Wind Valley quickly spread throughout the Miao region. Hou Qingyouxin also mentioned unintentionally that he built the Misty Rain Tower because he and his beloved met in the misty rain."

"The Misty Rain Tower is a witness to their meeting, knowing each other, being together, and relying on each other."

"Coincidentally, Hou Qingyouxin and the Han Chinese woman met in the misty rain, and he also met Arena in the misty rain."

"Moreover, Arena also learned a lot of Central Plains culture because of Hou Qingyouxin. Although she didn't like these things, she tried her best to memorize and recite them in order to get closer to her beloved, forcing herself to become a talented woman."

"When the Misty Rain Tower was completed, Hou Qingyouxin announced the wedding date to the public."

"Originally, even if Hou Qingyouxin didn't marry Arena at that time, there wouldn't have been any fatal consequences. Unfortunately, Hou Qingyouxin mistakenly trusted someone at that time, and that was Lei Tao, who was helping him arrange the marriage."

"Lei Tao is Arena's younger brother. He knew that the person Hou Qingyouxin loved was not his sister, but he also understood that his sister Arena was deeply in love with Hou Qingyouxin."

"So, he made an extremely absurd and irresponsible decision at that time. He secretly killed the matchmaker team, replaced them with his own people, and sent the wedding invitation to Arena's hands."

"At that time, although Hou Qingyouxin was a god-like existence, the people of the Miao region did not dare to approach him."

"This is probably the difference between being regarded as a god and being regarded as a person. Once a person becomes a god, others will have awe of him, and therefore only have respect for him, not intimacy."

"No one in the Miao region would disturb Hou Qingyouxin, and he himself liked to be quiet and would not easily leave the Misty Rain Tower."

"In this way, Lei Tao successfully deceived Arena and Hou Qingyouxin."

"It wasn't until the day of the wedding that the people who came to announce the good news arrived at the Misty Rain Tower that Hou Qingyouxin realized he had been tricked."

"However, Hou Qingyouxin still maintained his composure at that time, and he and Bu Ting hurried on their horses and stopped Arena near Baishui Village."

"Back then, there was indeed a negotiation between Great Witches in Baishui Village."

"However, the content of the negotiation was not whether or not to allow Arena to marry a Han Chinese man. But that Hou Qingyouxin must marry Arena!"

Zhu Zining deliberately stopped here.

Butcher Wang couldn't help but sigh, and their eyes showed obvious sympathy when they looked at Arena.

They could imagine how lost, sad, and embarrassed Arena, who was full of joy to marry her beloved, was when she was stopped in Baishui Village.

This was a misunderstanding, but also a kind of torture.
