A Man Like None Other

^{Chapter 5857}

^{The Palace Mistress trembled, and gave a bitter smile: “Don’t seek revenge… Live well… Sword Star, you’re still so foolish.”}

^{She was silent for a moment before looking at David again: “Do you know what my relationship is with Wan Jianxing?”}

^{David shook his head.}

^{“We were lovers.”}

^{The Palace Master’s voice was soft, yet it carried a deep, unforgettable pain. “Ten thousand years ago, I was a Holy Maiden of the Divine Race, and he was a dazzling swordsmanship genius of the Divine Race. We could have been the most enviable couple in the Divine Race, but…”}

^{Her eyes turned cold and resentful: “The Divine Race has an ironclad rule: the Holy Maiden must remain pure and chaste, serve the Ice God for life, and cannot marry, much less have any romantic relationship with any man of another race… no, with any man at all.”}

^{“Sword Star… he openly defied the clan rules for me, even attempting to elope with me.”}

^{“The Clan Chief was furious and personally suppressed me. I should have died, but Sword Star spared my life by bearing most of the punishment himself.”}

^{“In the end, I was stripped of my Holy Maiden title and exiled to this bitterly cold northern land, where I established the Northern Underworld Palace, effectively severing ties with the Divine Race.”}

^{“And Jianxing… the clan leader publicly declared that he had annihilated his soul and spirit as a warning to others. I have searched for him for thousands of years, but I have never been able to find a trace of him, and can only assume that he really…”}

^{She choked up at this point, unable to continue.}

^{David was deeply moved, never expecting that Wan Jianxing and the palace master before him had such a tragic and heroic past.}

^{Defying orders for love, not hesitating to become an enemy of the entire divine race, ultimately ending up imprisoned for eternity…}
