I'M Zhen
Chapter 49. Dilemmas

Mei Nian continued to pay attention to Zhen who from earlier was just daydreaming staring at the fire. Herself the reason why all criminals often ponder like him? But he doesn't think so. 'In the next few days he will destroy us. I noticed he often stared blankly into the air. What do bad guys seem to think? Is he thinking of killing us now? No no, I can't conclude like that just yet. I better try to talk to him to find out what he thinks.' Her thought.

"Are you having a problem?" Ask Mei Nian kindly. But it seemed that Zhen was still in his own mind to the point of not listening to what others were saying. "Hey?" Mei Nian tried to touch Zhen's shoulder.

Suddenly Zhen quickly twisted the girl's hand making her scream a little, "Aahh!?"

Suddenly all the warriors and cultivators guarding Mei Nian looked towards them and prepared to attack.

"Your Highness the Princess!? are you okay what?"

"How dare you make Her Highness the Princess wretched!? You have to learn a lesson!?"

Soon Mei Nian stopped those who wanted to attack, "T wait!? We're just playing, you stay put and get back to your activities!" Mei Nian said as she held onto her aching hand after being removed by Zhen.

"But…"

"I said come back!?" He pressed a little. They returned after pressure. He looked back at the daydreaming Zhen, "I know you were unintentional and just shocked. So I'll forget that." His true words were afraid of this young man.

"What's wrong?" Ask Zhen.

"Ah, a I was just asking is there a problem that makes you daydream? If there's any I might be able to give you a solution." Mei Nian immediately said her goal.

Zhen stared flatly at the girl. He is not used to telling other people about his problems. But looking at his wise manner of speaking he might just be able to help out a little. "It's not my problem, it's her problem!?" Said Zhen while pointing at the strange girl who did not know what. Mei Nian looked at the girl who had just been quietly eating.

Having already been coded by Zhen the girl immediately nodded.

'uh? If this is a strange girl's problem why is she even dizzy? And why did the girl obey? ' Mei Nian was confused. He let out a faint sigh, and went back to talking to Zhen. "So what's the problem?" Ask Mei Nian.

"……" For some time Zhen was silent for a moment. Then he started making up so that not all of his secrets would be seen, "She's a poor woman, who's been tormented until now, making her talk less." Zhen began to tell the story as he glanced at the girl who then nodded with a serious face to reassure Mei Nian.

"So that's why you rarely talk? You're a really poor girl." And foolishly Mei Nian believed the prank.

Zhen smiled fakely to add to the atmosphere of his day, "Then I thought of helping him. But my strength is still lacking to help him, therefore I thought of one way at the expense of others!? But I'm still worried if I get caught killing someone by my brother. So, how should I do?" Zhen asked as he looked at Mei Nian with his red eyes which made the girl instantly goosebumps.

With nervousness in his heart Mei Nian tried to establish himself to dare to make the young man not slaughter the empire. Even though seeing her red eyes alone was already making goosebumps. "That's... Of course you can't do it!?" His words were full of fear behind it but still covered with a smile.

"Why?" Zhen asked looking coldly at Mei Nian.

Glug

Mei Nian gulped her saliva forcefully as Zhen's gaze could really kill her, 'You should calm down Mei Nian, I should try to make her think not to commit the massacre.' His thinking. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to neutralize the fear, "If you may know, what kind of person is your brother?" Ask Mei Nian.

It was true that it was unbelievable that the young man who would one day slaughter the empire turned into an innocent brat when talking about his brother. 'Why is she so happy when talking about her brother? But it can be used.' Think Mei Nian.

"Well, your sister's really great, isn't she?" Flatter Mei Nian who was greeted with a nod and a wide smile by Zhen. "You're so lucky to have such a great sister. You say he's good too? a good man will not kill an innocent man, right? Different stories with bad people who only think about themselves. Sacrificing others for personal gain, creating problems where. Maybe since childhood they were evil so when they were big they were evil." Mei Nian had unconsciously spoken too much.

"You must be as good as your brother, right, Zhen?" Mei Nian asked wanting to flatter Zhen even more.

When Mei Nian's questions and words appeared instead of being pleased with the smile, but instead the smile faded and turned sad. Ok? It's a name that doesn't suit him that has killed thousands of people. With blood in his hands and his mouth drinking their blood with a smile, could that be said to be good? The word good is not suitable for her cruel self. Even after killing thousands of lives he felt nothing. He did not even understand why someone would cry when someone else died in front of them.

So he hesitated, would a good word fit him? Suddenly Zhen got up and left his place. Saying the problem to others is useless. Because in the end they will say something that they think is right according to their ego.

"Ah, wait!?" Call Mei Nian. But Zhen had already left him somewhere. He doesn't understand, what's wrong?

While the strange girl just stared flatly at Zhen's departure.

...***...

Not far from the camp, Zhen leaned against a dark tree. The sound of the crowd from the campground dimmed. Being in a quiet place is better than the crowd he thinks. Although to them being in a dark and lonely place was creepy, but Zhen preferred something that people did not like. Because it's like describing her who no one wants.

He was most afraid of being alone and having no one. But strangely being in the crowd is nauseating.

"Don't listen to the girl!? He doesn't even know anything about you, sir. All he knows is your ugliness from his previous life." Darkness.

"Life before?" Zhen asked not understanding.

"Yes, that girl has a special soul that allows her to reincarnate once. I think he died in master's hands in his previous life. Hence he was trying to prevent the master from slaughtering people."

Zhen kend listened carefully to the information from the darkness. It is rather strange for someone who arrives to give so much kindness to him who looks strange and dark. "Why does he want to protect people? Didn't he have any connection to that person?" Ask Zhen curiously.

"Why again? They were his people who were slaughtered of course there he would protect him."

"Heh, protect ya? So naive. People like that who disguise themselves as protect but end up leaving behind is the same as liars." He remembers someone who betrayed him first.
