The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 215 - Apology
Mad Demon fell to his knees hugging his wife's bones, he had no other great skill other than the science of lightening the body. Noticing the terrifying aura from Xin Fai's body was the strength of a swordsman who had already reached a high level himself did not dare to act rashly.
"I-I'm sorry!" Mad Demon cupped both hands in front, "I've been raping that girl only as an escape after my wife's death..."
The man's gaze implied a deep sadness, his somewhat aging face and the hint of white hair appearing in his hair did indeed clarify his lifespan had already entered the head of five. This man nicknamed Mad Demon looked much weaker when in a state of silence.
"So where did that angry face come from?" Xin Fai asked back.
"The ones who killed my wife were the girls who accused her of performing the dark ritual of demon summoning, I can't forgive them all..." The man scrunched his fingers until they turned white.
"And you hit it all flat on the girls of this world? A lot of innocent people have to lose their honor because of you."
"I don't care!"
"And I won't care about your life anymore either. That past story you shouldn't carry around to other people!"
Xin Fai thumped his sword towards the Mad Demon who could only defend with a wall pedestal as a backrest, his teeth docked with bated breath as a great force came at him. It was unexpected that after ten years in a row no one knew where he lived at last today a young man came here to kill him.
"I just can't forgive them! Is that wrong?!" The Mad Demon released its grip on the skeleton of the wife and moved in full resistance attacking Xin Fai.
"Because of your unchangeable attitude, you always live in suffering! You said your wife was accused, right? That means he's a good man. If he's really a good guy I don't think he'd be happy to see you raping girls like this!"
Ren Yuan and the two girls standing nailed at the end of the hall looking at the fight, Xin Fai's voice blaring like a hero of misfortune. At least, that attitude made the girls fall in love with him, including Ren Yuan.
"Much talk! You who are still short-lived do not try to advise an old man like me!"
"Your brain is dull, old man! Try to make peace with your past. Everyone has lost as you feel..."
Xin Fai stopped the pace of her speech, she realized that the words were striking herself. His grudge towards the Demonic Blood Man still continued to flourish, burning himself slowly. The more people are killed the more their anger burns, the more like wood that triggers fire. Demonic incitement fanned his ears making the fire blazing even more without him noticing.
Pondering over it for a while, the Mad Demon finally pushed Xin Fai from before him and stood up straight unsheathed the sword.
"There is nothing to repair, my soul is already broken and what destroys it is not myself but others."
"Ah, right said Mother." Xin Fai was still ringing in her childhood memories. "Good is not necessarily good and evil is not necessarily evil, I can't even know where I am right now."
"Looks like we're the same, huh?" The Mad Demon lowered his sword, a faint smile adorning his face. "If you want to take one of the girls with you, we can conspire if you want."
The offer made the girls behind Xin Fai become frightened, they stood behind Ren Yuan's back.
"I came here to avenge your actions, and even invite cooperation. You think I'm a pervert?"
"Ap–"
Just about to say a cross-section slash right on the man's face, making his head split in one sharp cut. Blood poured profusely soaked the walls of the house and then flowed on the floor where the beach stands.
"That's to avenge the death of my horse that you killed so cruelly."
Previously after tracing one of the contents of this house Xin Fai had found one more coffin, he dragged one of the crates to be next to his wife's chest and put the corpse of Mad Demon into it.
"After this rest in peace, may your soul be received."
"Thank you for bothering to save me."
"Just by chance, I chased after the man because he killed my horse."
Ren Yuan glanced up briefly for some reason his feeling was a little piqued, the girl glanced towards the full moon outside the window. Shining very bright. The roar of wolves and owls rang out in the jungle out there, looking so scary if it had to be passed at night.
"Because the situation in the forest is so dangerous, you better sleep here for a while, when I wake up in the morning."
Doubt seemed on their faces, however Xin Fai could have done something while they were asleep.
"Ck, don't think I'll touch you. Sleep there, I'll be on guard outside" he said. A bench from the wooden pedestal into which he sat, Xin Fai took a deep breath enjoying the night air that was so cold that it pierced his bones.
While busy in daydreaming, the sound of mosquitoes ringing right in his ears. Xin Fai tried to pat the mosquito but her voice grew more and more, repeatedly squeezing out of her lips until Xin Fai exhausted herself. He gulped exasperatedly letting his body become the food of the mosquitoes.
"Indeed, situations like this I've always been a victim." The young man muttered in annoyance, today it was certain that he could not sleep well.
"It was you who volunteered" Ren Yuan said suddenly. He stood right in front of the door with a blanket in his hand.
"Wear this."
Xin Fai greeted the blanket then immediately put it on, not knowing why Ren Yuan was suddenly sitting nearby. There was awkwardness in a moment, it seemed that Xin Fai was reluctant to open her voice let alone stare at the girl.
Ren Yuan spoke cautiously, breaking the silence of the moment. "May I be honest?"
"About?"
"You're acting to me," Ren Yuan said gloomily. "It seems you still hate me."
"I don't keep hating you."
"Then why are you being so cold to me?"
Xin Fai pulled next to her brow confused while thinking for a bit longer, her gaze still straight forward thinking of the exact words that would come out of her mouth.
"I just can't adapt to a noble like you."
The pain of the humiliation his father had received in the past was still so impassioned, how his father who had always respected those of a higher degree was spat upon like an animal. If only Xin Fai had known Shen Xuemei was one of the nobles perhaps his attitude would have changed as well.
"Have my words been too painful? If I'm sorry."
"Yes, just go back to sleep. I want to be alone."
Ren Yuan did not want to go to the room where the other two girls were fast asleep, at a time like this his fear of ghosts grew.
"No, I'd rather sit outside than inside."
"Yes, then you take care of me outside to sleep inside." Xin Fai pulled out her blanket and was about to enter the house. Then Ren Yuan pulled the blanket tightly.
