Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
45. Traitors
After making sure that Qin Yue returned safely, she left in black robes towards the Snow Phoenix Shop. He could see Le Ning who was sitting restlessly on the second floor of the building.
"Is anyone bothering you ?" He asked while patting the girl on the shoulder.
"Ah ! Miss just surprised me. I don't have any problem what, it's just that tonight the stars are so many. " Said Le Ning forcing a smile.
"Are you right there's no problem ?" Her question again remained with her sweet smile.
"No. Not of course ! I don't have any problems. " Said Le Ning trying to smile as usual.
"I heard you had a little brother living in the village, you had to take me to see him. " Say him in a joking tone.
Le Ning looked unanswered and speechless.
"Why are you quiet ? Did my word offend you ?"Ask her.
"Huh, we should attack the palace within a year. In addition, I just got a little Qi deviation that hinders my cultivation. " Say her origin.
"That's dangerous, miss, you need to get some rest. Le Ning, won't bother you anymore. I'll bring you some warm tea. " Said Le Ning, she smiled coldly as she sat on her mattress.
Not long after, Le Ning brought along a pot of warm tea. Even when he smelled this tea, he knew there was poison but he drank it anyway.
Because.
So, no matter what poison Le Ning carried, then it would be useless.
"Le Ning, is this how you treat your master ?" She asked while turning her cup around with her head down.
"A. Sorry, miss !" Said Le Ning directly kneeling.
"What did you do ? I was joking Le Ning. Are you hiding something from me ?" Ask her while raising her head.
Her smile expanded, Le Ning did not dare to reply, her hands caressing the girl's cheeks gently.
"I've already considered you as my own sister Le Ning. Do you know that ?" She asked in a subtle voice that Le Ning did not answer.
"But baby, you can't see that as your luck. " His speech was cynically, her hands choked Le Ning's neck tightly.
His smile turned into a grin.
"Do you think I don't know everything you're doing behind your little trick ? Do you think I dare not kill you directly ? Do you think with our relationship, I'll let you go ?" Ask her with red eyes.
"Le Ning, don't expect to be taken off. Just hoping to let go of my sister. " Said Le Ning with a brick stammer.
One of his hands clenched tightly.
"If this was the case, then Le Ning would not mind. Merely, one request of mine before dying, please take my brother's corpse out of Emperor Zhu's hands intact. Please bury us together. " Said Le Ning with tears.
"I have no regrets for following you. My biggest regret is not trusting you, in the future I will return to work for you and serve you without a doubt. Thank you for your help all this time, Miss, Le Ning who is not worthy of your kindness. " Le Ning said softly before pulling out a dagger and piercing her own heart.
He was silent when Le Ning's blood splashed onto his face, memory after memory of his being with Le Ning spun around in his head like a movie.
Starting from him looking down on Le Ning, until Le Ning who always brought her food and bought her sweet food.
Bring her a simple picture made by the girl or a hat that comes from woven bamboo. Not feeling, in the middle of that memory, a single tear dripped.
What's more when you see Le Ning hugging her when she's sad, when Jing Luyan says that they're just friends and a lot of other things.
"Truely so. I am always merciless to someone, for one evil I kill them and forget all their good. I'm too ambitious, it's all my fault. " That murmur.
Tears still didn't want to stop flowing from her eyes, instead of what, she was just too afraid to go back to being a fool betrayed.
"I was too fixated on the past and subconsciously began to disappear my friends in this time slowly land. " Murm her with a trembling body.
She hugged the handkerchief that Le Ning knitted personally for her.
"If there is life in the future. Then I will do my best for you. " That murmur.
Tok
He did not answer and just kept sobbing, no matter how, he had never felt this way in the past. It has been said, if the hard nature possessed by him is only a trait formed because of his forcing situation.
A man with a tall and handsome stature walked in and embraced his shoulders. He kept silent and drowned his head on the man's shoulder.
"How do you know I'm gonna be here tonight ?" Ask her with a broken tone.
"Foster father told me to look at your condition. He knows by your nature, you're definitely gonna do it tonight. Good thing I wasn't late for too long, I was afraid you'd do something dangerous. " Said the man while stroking his head.
"Indeed, what can I do ? I can't kill myself. " His murmur was half-joking, he tried to laugh but was unable to do so.
"Don't force yourself, let's have a night on Le Ning and pray that he can reincarnate well and all his sins are forgiven. " Said Yun Xing.
Yes, that man was Yun Xing, one of Yun Wang's three adopted children. This young man beside her was actually very stiff, but he had no idea why the man was so not tonight.
But he doesn't care, he needs a shoulder to be backed up by.
