The Sky Poison Pearl
The Tears of Jasmine
"Why did you save me?" Jasmine's voice still revealed her still frail health. He looked once again at the scar on Yun Che's arm and immediately shifted his gaze: “If I die, wouldn't it be better for you? At the very least, you don't need to think about the demands I made for you to accept; not to mention you don't have to worry that I will kill you after reconstructing my body!
"Because…. Jasmine used her life to save me..”.
"I saved myself!" Jasmine stated in a slightly raised voice.
Yun Che was a little perplexed; he was at a loss as to why this sentence of his triggered such a huge reaction from him. While feeling a little helpless, he said: “Then. As a disciple, how could I only be silent when I saw my Master who was about to die before my eyes?”
The teacher?" Jasmine smiled with a hint of sadness: “If I want to be reborn, then I should help you gain supreme strength in the shortest time possible. Being your teacher, just because I don't want to help you for free…. In the end, it was all for myself. Do you really believe that I will do it for your good?
"I know all that." After saying those words, Jasmine failed to find the slightest bit of disappointment on Yun Che's face, but instead looked at him with a small smile. Yun Che moved his body a little closer to Jasmine, looked into her eyes, and softly said: “But it's all unimportant. The reason why I was so desperate to save Jasmine, was because Jasmine was so beautiful; as beautiful as an angel.”.
Jasmine became dumbfounded.
“Although Jasmine had always tried to make herself appear apathetic, even to the point of frightening, this was always real and could not be covered up even if Jasmine wanted to. With a beautiful girl by my side, no matter who it was, no one wanted her to leave his side forever. Without a doubt, I am also the same.. This should be an acceptable reason, right?”
"What kind of reason.... the reason is just that..” The lips of Jasmine who has recovered slightly vibrated: “I have killed….. Last year, on my twelfth birthday, in one day…. My entire body was dyed red. Even my name, 'Blood-stained Jasmine' was given to me by them..”.
“Yun Che's heart instantly surged hard…. In one day, killing over one million three hundred thousand people!?
Capturing the deep shock that flashed across Yun Che's face, Jasmine closed her eyes and spoke sadly: “People like me, how can I be called a beautiful girl…. I'm Jasmine…. The Blood-soaked Jasmine…. I am a terrible demon... who has killed many people...”.
Jasmine's eyes suddenly widened, and looked at her in confusion.
“But, I'm sure Jasmine is a kind girl. The reason for turning yourself into the demon you hate the most, is entirely for the important people in your heart. Maybe they are your closest friends, or even your closest family members…. For a person like this, it didn't matter if he had killed more people, and was covered in more blood; there was no way he would become a demon.”
“In addition, for cute and beautiful girls, no matter how big of a mistake they are made, they can still be forgiven. If you believe that there are many reprehensible sins placed on your body, then allow me to bear these sins with Jasmine. After all, you are my teacher; and as your student, this kind of responsibility, of course, should naturally be shouldered together.”
Jasmine was completely stunned and looked at Yun Che in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. His vision became increasingly blurred…. He could not understand why, after a clear statement of his cruel sins, he had not only shown fear and rejection…. But instead, he had a gentle gaze, and said such gentle words….
It shouldn't be like this…. I killed so many people; I was a terrifying demon. It was clear that everyone was afraid of me; it was obvious that no one should like me…. Why did he desperately save me; why did he reveal such a gentle gaze…. After the mother and brother died, there was absolutely no way that anyone would treat them like this anymore….
Jasmine's eyes became increasingly blurred, and through blurred vision, Yun Che's face slowly turned into a face of a gentle smile just like her brother's…. In an instant, tears flowed out of his eye sockets from the corner of his eye. At this moment, he, who had sworn to never shed a tear again, was completely draining uncontrollable tears. A small crack quietly opened from his heart that had been sealed with hatred and sin.
“….Jasmine, so you can cry too? Mmm, it's more like women, right?” Yun Che on the other hand, smiled. He stretched out his finger to caress her face and gently wiped away her tear stain.
However Jasmine did not fight him, instead crying even louder. While shedding tears and sobbing, he said: “I…. When.. when you tried to save me before, you secretly kissed me many times, and now…. You can't..can't..
"Um, teacher's nagging is right." Yun Che said with a smile: “Then after little teacher Jasmine restores her health, punish me as you please. Even if you want to return the kiss, I will absolutely not reply.”
