Eula's face was icy, her eyes filled with cold killing intent.
"Cao Zhong, I never expected that behind that honest-looking face, you're actually a scumbag! You dare treat my best friend like this? Today I'll teach you a lesson—die, you villain!"
The cold aura radiating from her greatsword made Cao Zhong break into a cold sweat.
"Eula, listen to me! You know me—I'm not that kind of person!"
Cao Zhong shouted, trying to awaken whatever feelings she still had for him.
But Eula ignored him completely.
She knew exactly how dangerous his silver tongue was—he could turn black into white, the dead into the living.
If she let him talk any longer, she might actually be persuaded.
That was absolutely unacceptable.
Today, she would seek justice for her best friend.
Scumbag—die!
Her sword moved like an extension of her will, forcing Cao Zhong to dodge repeatedly.
Nearby, Amber's eyes were red, filled with tears.
She had clearly become fully immersed in the video.
Watching Cao Zhong being chased down by Eula, Amber felt both angry and hurt.
I treated you like this… and yet you still have another woman in your heart? Scumbag.
Then she looked at Eula with gratitude.
As expected of my best friend… always standing up for me when it matters most.
Eula… no matter what happens in the future, I'll share my most precious things with you.
Amber silently swore to herself.
Meanwhile, Cao Zhong looked somewhat miserable under Eula's relentless pursuit.
Although he was extremely powerful, she was still one of his "intended wives"—he couldn't hurt her.
Looking at Eula, who was full of killing intent, Cao Zhong felt a headache coming.
If I don't explain this clearly today, this won't end well.
He quickly began thinking of a solution.
First, he absolutely couldn't accept the label of "scumbag"—he still had other girls to win over in the future.
Second, he had to calm both Eula and Amber.
Difficult? Maybe.
But for Cao Zhong, it was child's play.
He suddenly stopped dodging.
He was betting that Eula wouldn't actually kill him.
And just as expected—
Her greatsword stopped just 0.01 cm from his throat.
But in a quarter of a second…
Its owner would be thrown into emotional chaos.
Because Cao Zhong was about to tell a lie.
A perfect lie.
Eula pointed her sword at him, sneering slightly.
"Why aren't you defending yourself anymore? If you don't speak, I'll kill you."
Cao Zhong looked at her deeply.
"You won't be able to do it."
Eula laughed coldly.
"What a joke. You hurt my friend like this—why wouldn't I kill you?"
Cao Zhong shook his head sadly.
"You still don't understand. The one who betrayed Amber… isn't me."
"…It's you."
"Even at death's door, you're still trying to drive a wedge between me and Amber? Fine—I'll hear what nonsense you have left."
Eula sneered.
But she had already forgotten her own rule—never let him talk.
Cao Zhong closed his eyes, putting on a sorrowful expression.
He even forced out a "scumbag tear."
"Let's say… just hypothetically… the 'other woman' I love in that video…"
"…is also Amber's best friend."
"Then tell me—who would that woman be?"
He spoke as if to himself, but carefully watched Eula's reaction.
And just as expected—
Eula froze.
Amber's best friend… best friend…
Her face turned bright red, panic flashing in her eyes.
Amber's best friend… isn't that me?!
No. Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
How could I fall for the same man as Amber?
Eula panicked.
This video must be fake! Someone is trying to ruin our friendship!
But then—
She felt Amber's deadly gaze.
And she didn't dare meet it.
Amber saw Eula's guilty expression…
And understood everything.
So this is how it is…
Best friends? What a lie.
Guard against fire, guard against thieves… guard against your best friend.
The ancients weren't wrong.
Amber looked heartbroken.
Pain… it hurts so much.
Eula… you betrayed me.
Seeing Amber's expression, Eula truly panicked.
"I didn't! It's not like that! Don't believe it!"
"Amber, you know me!"
She tried desperately to explain—
But the situation made it impossible.
The two girls sat apart, sulking like they were in a cold war.
Neither spoke to the other.
Cao Zhong let out a long sigh.
As expected of me… just a few words and I redirected the conflict.
Just when he thought everything had been perfectly resolved—
The video on the screen continued.
The Scene Continues
In the video—
Cao Zhong and Amber were flirting under the tree, being overly affectionate.
At some point, Eula appeared behind them.
Watching them, a trace of panic—and pain—flashed in her eyes.
Cao Zhong and Amber noticed her.
Eula, with tears in her eyes, turned to leave.
"Sorry… I came at the wrong time."
"No," Cao Zhong said, extending his hand.
"You came at the perfect time."
Even Amber, still in his arms, smiled at Eula.
Eula… fell.
Step by step, she walked toward him—
And into his embrace.
Final Shot of the Video
Cao Zhong held one woman in each arm, enjoying the blessings of both.
His smile was so wide it nearly split his face.
