Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
132. Crushed
He stored the corpses of the five people and walked forward without a clear expression, he looked like an empty shell, now.
Looks like a soulless person, without sadness, without joy and without emotion. Really sad.
He stared towards Xue Longque who was intending to escape with dozens of soldiers on top of the rubble of the destroyed house.
He stared at the people of his Empire who had been charred, he laughed lightly, his laughter so light that it was not heard.
No one knew what was on his mind, he did not hold back Xue Longque's departure and simply sat on top of one of the roofs that had already been half destroyed.
He stared at the darkening sky, he did not care about the thousands of troops in the northern part of Kuwei City.
Because, no one will survive in this place. The air turned extremely cold, the place he was sitting on turned to ice.
"Because I am the one who built this Empire, then I am also the one who will destroy it. Without my father, this Empire is nothing. "His murmuring while downing his wine.
He took out another urn of wine and drank it roughly, without caring about the wine flowing from between his lips.
Her clothes were wet with wine and blood, completely destroyed. His white clothes turned red.
"At the end of it, I was still alone. He he he, I'm alone ! I'm free now without anyone holding me back, shouldn't I be happy ? Why don't I feel happy at all ?! Why ?!" Shouts with pain.
The birds that perched near her immediately left after hearing her screams. He looked at the ground that had already turned into ice.
A strong layer of energy covered this place without allowing anyone to leave here, he stared wistfully at the ruined house.
She laughed, she really hated herself right now.
"strong ? At the end of it I still can't protect the people I care about. Isn't this all in vain ? What else is this power for ? Better to go together, right ?" He muttered while laughing with a drunken expression.
As he prepared to slump his own cultivation, a hand restrained him. He opened his eyes, his gaze colliding with the person holding his hand.
"Miss Xue, no matter how sick you are, you still can't do this. " Say the man with a faint smile.
His governing gaze could not see who in front of him clearly until a while, he could not help but hesitate with his own vision.
"Duke Yuanzheng ? Yuanzheng Yuwen ?" He murmured doubtfully.
"I don't think Miss Xue will remember me anymore. " Say the man with a sweet smile, that man is Yuanzheng Yuwen.
"Yuanzheng Yuwen, why are you blocking me ?" He asked loudly, he rebelled to let go.
But, Yuanzheng Yuwen's hand grip was stronger. Although strong but not hurt, he scrunched his forehead.
He put more strength but still could not let go of it.
"What do you want, right ?" Ask him cautiously.
"Nothing, I just couldn't help but look at your actions earlier. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said casually taking off his hand.
"You've been here since ?" She asked hesitantly, she could not feel the existence of this man at all.
"Since you hit Xue Longque. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said casually.
"Miss Xue, your current actions only hurt yourself. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said with a sigh and held his frozen hand.
"I can take it off myself. " Say her.
But Yuanzheng Yuwen paid no heed and held his frozen hand, slowly the land, he felt warm in his hands.
Before it really melts and his hands can be moved freely again.
"thank you. " Say it slowly.
"Just relax, it's no big deal. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said.
"Ehm, what fire is that ? There aren't many types of flames that can destroy my ice. " Say him doubtfully.
Either what made her continue to feel doubtful, maybe because of the death of the people closest to her or maybe even because she was dealing with Yuanzheng Yuwen.
His mind was chaotic which made him unable to think clearly, various kinds of thoughts made him dizzy.
In addition to the influence of alcohol that makes her dizzy, this really makes her view blurred.
He almost fell backwards without a fight before a hug caught up to him.
"Yuanzheng Yuwen, what are you doing here for real ? With your strength, you have been able to leave here for a long time. There's nothing here that's really your family. " Speak it out loud.
She faintly stared at the man in front of her who had hair that was in the ponytail, in brown and blue clothes.
"Before asking me, you yourself why are you still here ? The people you love aren't here. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said calmly.
"Because of being here, I have memories of them, even though this place has been destroyed. " His speech was very slow before all his consciousness was completely gone.
Yuanzheng Yuwen looked at Xue Fenghuang's fainted body in his embrace with a faint smile.
"I'm the same, too, because with me here, I can remember my memories with the people I love. " Yuanzheng Yuwen said gently stroking the hair that covered Yuanzheng Yuwen's beautiful face.
A man in black clothes behind him was heard snorting softly.
"My master, you look so exaggerated, this doesn't look like you at all. " Said the man in black.
On the other hand, Xue Fenghuang felt herself drowning in darkness. Nothing can be seen and achieved by him.
Only the darkness that exists, the only thing he saw was his body that slowly destroyed the land. He's broken, he's lost.
His laughter sounded very sad. Unbeknownst to him, he really has been tied to a world that is not even known by him.
What if this was all just a dream ? What if he awakens with his past crimes that have been exposed ?
It was worse than death, he would not hesitate to kill himself if that was the case.
