A Nightmare on Elm Street

  In the quiet night, a flash of lightning cut across the sky, piercing the stillness of the night.

  In the pitch-black, dilapidated villa, the living room was empty and desolate, with only a sofa and a triangular steel piano placed in the corner, covered with a dust-proof white cloth. The ancient grandfather clock emitted a heavy sound as its pendulum struck, and the few oil paintings hanging on the wall seemed to have become even more eerie under the night's embellishments. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the branches swayed in the wind, casting chaotic shadows on the ground that seemed to take on ghostly forms. In this vast living room, there was an inexplicable sense of eeriness.

  In the corner of the living room, there was also a puddle of dark red blood that had already dried up.

  Next to the bloodstain, a woman with a pale and haggard complexion was bound by ropes to a pillar in the corner. Her body still had some remnants of fiery red clothing, dark red blood had long since dried up, she wasn't wearing a stitch, her fair and delicate skin was covered in dirt and wounds, many of which had already begun to turn black and suppurate, emitting a foul odor.

  Such a scene is eerily frightening.

  "Ugh..."

  A sudden, unexpected sound broke the silence. The door to the living room was opened and a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a pale blue long dress walked in slowly, wrapped in a creamy white pearl shawl. A faint smile played on her lips, revealing a hint of seductive charm. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, with only a hint of age lines hidden behind flawless makeup. The entire person seemed like a delicate, high-class blue freesia, evoking an irresistible sense of admiration.

  The stunning beauty in a blue long dress took an ancient silver candelabra from the nearby cabinet, lit the candles with a lighter, and the dim yellow light illuminated her surroundings. She walked slowly to the miserable woman's face, a smile appeared on her small face, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Wei, you're really stubborn enough, you haven't died yet."

  At the sound of the beautiful woman's voice, Ye Youyan's eyes snapped open in terror. What was even more terrifying was that her pale face had lost its eyeballs, leaving behind only a pair of empty eye sockets!

  His tendons and muscles were torn apart, his kneecaps shattered, his once beautiful face now a terrifying demon, his delicate white skin carved with over a dozen scars, even his eyes gouged out, the sockets like two dark caves... utterly horrifying.

  Ye Wei's mouth curled up, and on her terrifyingly ugly face, a hint of a ferocious and hateful smile appeared. Her hoarse voice was like the sound of a bellows, emitting an ear-piercing noise: "Lan Meng, you're not dead yet? How could I, Ye Wei, bear to die?"

  The stunning beauty Lan Meng smiled, completely ignoring Ye Wei's provocation. Instead, her smile became even more breathtakingly beautiful. "Ye Wei, how did those beggars serve you the other day? I heard from Ming Hui that you have an extraordinary talent, and the experience is so wonderful that it makes people's souls disappear... Such a great thing, of course, I wouldn't bear to kill you just like that. Let me find some beggars to serve you, and let them taste your flavor too. After all, good things should be shared with everyone."

  "Then thank you... even if I'm insulted by a few beggars, it's still better than spending ten years with the wolf-hearted and dog-lunged Jun Mingyue!" Ye Wei suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter was so wicked and arrogant, especially paired with her devil-like terrifying face, making her look even more sinister. "Before I die, I can still make Jun Mingyue wear a few green hats, I, Ye Wei, have made a huge profit!"

  As she said this, Ye Wei suddenly opened her mouth at an eerie angle and spat a mouthful of saliva directly onto the face of the stunning beauty, full of foul odor!

  After a sharp cry, Lan Meng hurriedly wiped away the saliva on her face with her cloak, and then grabbed another candlestick and stabbed it at Ye Wei's body while scolding, "Ye Wei, you cheap woman!"

  "Compared to your esteemed family, I, Ye Wei, am not thoroughly worthless enough!" Ye Wei sneered coldly with a twisted mouth, "My younger brother wore the green hat for my older brother, and trampled me, his legitimate wife, underfoot. Letting me serve as a cow and horse for your family for ten years is still not enough; you also deceived my sister's feelings, swallowed up the Ye family's assets, cheated the Ye ancestral property, and finally, with no regard for heaven or earth, destroyed the Ye family!"

  "That's how stupid you Ye family is!"

  Lan Meng's face suddenly broke into a tender and gentle smile, but beneath the warmth and softness, there was a chilling and icy coldness. Her voice suddenly rose, "You deserved it! You toiled for him for many years, and with your own hands, you sent him to great heights... But what did that get you? He achieved success and fame, while you, Ye Wei, became a woman who could be used by anyone, a plaything in my hands!"

  Ye Wei let out a soft hum, her voice cold and detached. "Falling for someone like Jun Ming Yue is my foolishness, I admit it... But Blue Dream, do you think you're that much better than me? Don't think that just because you've risen from being a humble adopted daughter to becoming the young mistress of a noble family, you're somehow superior. The fate that awaits me today, Ye Wei, will be yours tomorrow! Don't forget, Jun Ming Yue has how many women outside?"

  The last sentence thoroughly ignited Lan Meng's already fragile nerves, and she let out a hysterical scream, as if she wanted to devour her flesh and blood piece by piece. Her sharp voice seemed to be venting her pain, "How could I not?! Ming Yue loves me! He's just pretending with other women! And you have today, this is your retribution! Why can you be so happy marrying Jun Ming Yue, while I'm stuck with his disabled brother for the rest of my life?!"

  "I loved Ming Yi just as much, why did you have to monopolize him for ten years? From start to finish, Ming Yi only loved me alone, why could you openly become his wife while I could only be his sister-in-law, hiding in the shadows like a pitiful creature? I'm Lan Meng Tian's proud daughter, what makes me inferior to you? Ye Wei, your downfall today is what you deserved! And I waited ten years for my happiness to come, this is what I deserve!"

  As she spoke, Lan Meng's tears of grievance flowed down her face, but a triumphant and savage smile hung on her face. She took out a fruit knife from her handbag, slowly cutting open the skin of Mu Qingci while whispering softly, "Ye Wei, do you know? A month ago, I formally married Ming Hui, he has become a part of my Lan family... Why are you so stubborn? You've been married to him for ten years, serving him like a cow and a horse, pouring your heart out for him, dedicating yourself to him wholeheartedly. In the end, your husband personally wiped out your entire Ye family!"

  "Ah, that's right, do you know why you haven't gotten pregnant in ten years? Ye Wei, your good husband, personally gave you the infertility medicine on your first day of marriage. The real culprit is him, yet he has been blaming you for being childless for ten years with a straight face!"

  "Yue Wei, do you know or not, how your sworn sister and best friend Zuo Yong Er died? Hehe... She didn't die on the battlefield, but rather at my hands. It was I who sent her undercover information to those people. Don't be too grateful to me!"

  "By the way, what about that dead party Jin Tongtong, do you know what she's become? Her head is as big as a basketball and her body is as thin as a bamboo stick, locked in my Blue Family's laboratory with chains... She looks like a monster!"

  "And another thing, Ye Wei, do you know how miserable your sister Ye Yan looked when she jumped off the building? She fell from a high-rise and splattered into a meat pie. When she died, her eyes were still wide open, refusing to close them... Ha ha... Until death, she didn't dare believe that Jun Ming Hui, whom she deeply loved, was the murderer who destroyed her whole family! Your sister Ye Yan is even more stupid than you!"

  "Do you know how pathetic your father was when he killed himself? His hands were shaking, he didn't dare to pull the trigger, his face turned white with fear. But your good husband, Jun Minghui, helped him do it with his own hands. See, Minghui is really good to you..."

  Listening to Blue Dream's depiction of her family's tragic death, Ye Wei, whose eyes had been gouged out, had lost the ability to cry and could only let out a heart-wrenching scream. "Blue Dream, you two will not die well! I, Ye Wei, even if I become a vengeful spirit, will absolutely not let you off, you pair of dog-like men!"

  She hates!

  Hate has penetrated into my bones!

  "Lan Meng, remember this... even if I become a vengeful spirit, I, Ye Wei, will never let you off!" Ye Wei shrieked.

  The sound of the door opening was followed by a familiar footsteps, getting closer and closer. Then that dreamy male voice sounded again, without the warmth it had when speaking to Ye Wei in the past, but instead with a hint of disgust and indifference, calm as if he had just crushed an ant. "Dream, how come you still haven't had enough? A useless insect like you, who has lost all value, is lucky to have been able to play for so many days."

  Lan Meng snuggled into his arms, giggling out loud, and teased Ye Wei with a smirk, "Ye Wei, did you hear that? Your husband... oh no, your ex-husband said you're a stinker."

  "Unbelievable, you can actually understand the language of beasts? Tsk tsk, indeed birds of a feather flock together."

  Before Yu Wei's words had even fallen, her lower abdomen was kicked heavily by someone. A gentle and warm male voice came, with a hint of coldness and confusion, "Yu Wei, your body satisfies me very much, but that sharp tongue of yours... is still as annoying as ever."

  "Dear, since you dislike her so much, why don't you kill her with your own hands?" Lan Meng turned around, smiling and gazing at the handsome man as beautiful as a painting, her beautiful eyes full of playful teasing, while handing over a sharp dagger.

  His gaze swept lightly over the scissors in front of him, his slender and elegant figure reflected in the candlelight, but was chillingly cold.

  "Good."

  A deep and gentle voice, yet piercingly cold.

  He calmly glanced at the silver flashing dagger in front of him, and gently raised his eyes. In those warm and gentle eyes, there was a deep affection.

  A slender hand grasped the dagger, its delicate joints bulging like jade, and with a flash of silver light, it was thrust directly into Ye Wei's heart!

  Warm and beautiful fresh blood splashed on the opponent's handsome and profound face, dripping down from the forehead, set off by the handsome and elegant face, adding a touch of ruthlessness and ferocity...

  But in his gentle eyes, there was always an unshakeable calmness, as if he had not just killed his wife of ten years who had silently devoted herself to him.

  "If you really love me, then die for me, I will be grateful..."

  In the last moment of her life, Ye Wenyi's empty eye sockets were filled with boundless hatred and unwillingness!

  Although both eyes were blind, Ye Wei's ears weren't deaf, her senses hadn't abandoned her, and she only felt Lan Meng leaning into her ear, using that gentle and beautiful voice to whisper out the last sentence: "Sayonara..."

  Ye Wei opened her mouth, but only let out a painful hiss, and in her mind, there was only one thought:

  If there is an afterlife, Jun Mingyi, Lan Meng, I wish to become a vengeful Asura and demand from you everything that you owe me in this life! Tear off your two hypocritical masks, I will return all the pain and hatred of this life to you, one by one!
