Chapter 35

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text into English:

She wanted to reincarnate, not to see him again, but to kill him with her own hands.

He felt a chill run through his entire body, and in an instant, he was overwhelmed with despair—

“You’re telling me this so I can die with my eyes closed, right?”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As soon as Olsen left the study, May immediately hugged Sarah tightly and choked out, “You two really scared me! The aunts who went to the meeting with your mother all said they saw Emil kiss you at the venue and that you were ninety-nine percent going to disobey orders. I was so afraid it would get out of hand…”

“Sorry for worrying you,” Sarah apologized with a smile.

May scrutinized her tired face and said with concern, “You look exhausted. Was this mission very difficult? I told you it was too early for you to go. The opponent is someone whom generations of female envoys have been unable to deal with, and you don’t have enough experience. But your mom insisted on sending you.”

“I think she considered it thoroughly and believed I could handle it, which is why she sent me.”

“That’s true, but you… capturing him and bringing him back, that was really your own decision, right? You weren’t forced, were you?” May asked nervously.

She was glad Sarah had returned safely, but the thought of her having to kill her lover from a past life seemed too cruel. Moreover, she felt that something was off about Sarah’s demeanor. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what, but she seemed too calm, as if she had made a firm and unyielding decision, which made her uneasy.

Sarah’s eyes were calm. “Why are you asking the same question?”

May was taken aback and stammered, “No, it’s just… I’m worried. After all, this isn’t a small matter. I hope you’ve thought it through thoroughly to avoid any regrets later…”

“Of course, I’ve thought it through carefully. And since it’s my own decision, even if it’s wrong, I won’t regret it.”

“Yeah, your decisiveness is more like your mom,” May smiled. Seeing Ivy come in with some clothes, she said, “You should go get ready for the ceremony. I’ll go downstairs and cook your favorite dishes. After the ceremony, we can have a good chat.” With that, she left the study.

Ivy put down a white porcelain bottle and a red and white robe, saying, “Sister, it’s time to change.”

Sarah stood up, poured the water from the porcelain bottle into her palm, gently dabbed it on her forehead and chest, performed a simple purification ritual, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, bowed her head in prayer for a moment, and then donned the robe without removing her outer clothes.

According to the rules, one shouldn’t wear outer clothes under the robe, but Ivy thought she was just cold and didn’t mind. She helped Sarah tie the belt while chatting about the recent happenings in the clan—

“Now that you’re back, Aunt Shuiying has nothing to say! You didn’t see how vehemently she opposed it, forcing Aunt to immediately revoke your status as heir. Hmph, everyone knows she wants to be the envoy! Doesn’t she realize there are so many people in the clan better than her? Even Xiuhe is better than her. Speaking of Xiuhe, he was so worried. While you were gone, he was frantic. Now he’s been dragged to the kitchen by my mom. He’ll have a lot to say later—”

“Ivy, I’m sorry,” Sarah gently interrupted her. “Because of me, you had to use such a dangerous spell. It was hard on you.”

Her gentle and apologetic tone deeply moved Ivy, making her nose tingle. She quickly said, “It wasn’t that dangerous. From childhood to now, I’ve always been careless and made mistakes. You’ve always helped me clean up the mess. It’s rare that I can help you. A little risk is nothing!”

“Do you remember last summer when we went to your classmate’s house in the south?”

“Of course, I remember! His seaside villa was beautiful. He took us out to sea on his yacht and taught us how to sail. I fell into the sea because I was playing around, and you saved me. Later, he often asked me about you. I think he fell in love with you at first sight. But I told him our Delin family only takes in husbands. He looked troubled but kept asking about you. He even said he wanted to invite us to his villa again this summer. Do you want to go?”

“Sure,” Sarah replied casually, looking out the window at the gathering clan members. They were gradually surrounding the small house where Emil was imprisoned. She slowly slipped a silver bracelet onto her wrist. “We should go over.”

“Ah, okay.” Ivy, excited by their conversation, almost forgot about the main event. She quickly adjusted Sarah’s belt. There would be plenty of time to chat after the ceremony. Now was not the time for jokes.

After the ceremony, everything would return to normal, right? As she followed Sarah out of the study, she thought happily.

Olsen opened the door, letting Sarah and Ivy into the small house, and then closed the door, shutting out the curious and reverent gazes of the clan members.

“Ivy, the ceremony requires you to first undo your spell. But before you do,” Olsen looked at his adopted daughter, “Sarah, there’s a bowl of prepared talisman water on the table. First, draw the sixth variation of the ground talisman on his forehead, then let Ivy undo the spell.”

Once the talisman was drawn, the ceremony would be half complete. The small house was surrounded by a tight array of formations and layers of sorcerers outside. Even if Emil had extraordinary abilities, he would be unable to escape.

If Sarah still harbored any thoughts of saving him, she wouldn’t be able to break through such a tight encirclement.

Sarah picked up the bowl of red talisman water that shimmered with a silver glow from the table and walked to Emil. She dipped a willow branch into the bowl and quickly drew the talisman on his forehead.

He didn’t resist, gazing longingly at the red and white robe she wore for the first time, the silver bracelet on her wrist glowing softly with the embedded remorse stone, just like the image in his memory. It was as if the person he had longed for countless years had finally come to him in a dream… No, it wasn’t a dream. It was really her.

He rasped, “You’re beautiful.”

Sarah didn’t even look at him. Her delicate hands were slightly sweaty as she quickly completed the intricate pattern.

“Will you think of me occasionally after I’m dead?” Olsen’s words were perfectly timed, knowing he wouldn’t risk making her suffer for life by telling the truth. And he was about to die, unable to reveal the secret. She would continue living as Sarah in the Delin family.

A perfect ending, wasn’t it?
