The man in black went rock stiff over that order. Raising his head with shock shown across those eyes, he couldnât believe that twisted face was coming out of the lady across from himself.
âRuo Xi, thatâs a child youâre asking me to kill.â Showing complexity in his voice, âYou should know I have two rules in the people I kill. One being I wonât kill the innocent and old, the other being children.â
âWinger!â The witch literally screeched, âShe is not a child! That baby is no more than a monster, a demonkin! You are not violating your own guidelines so do not bicker with me, not to mention I saved you back then!â
Not to mention I saved you back then!
Wingerâs heart trembled over the reminder, which causes his hand to instinctively clench up.
Every time he that wants to refuse this womanâs request â mainly because theyâre never good â he would always act this way. One being itâs against his standards, the second being heâs not an evil person at heart. Nevertheless, what happened in the past left too much of an impact on his heart. Sheâs the one person who reached out and saved him from that dark lonely place!
Thatâs why, no matter how cruel and ugly Ruo Xi becomes, this shadowy man known as Winger would always appease her request. One for gratitude, the other for the ounce of warmth he got in all his life. Heâs never felt anything like that and clung to that emotion like a moth to fire.
âLeave this to me then Ruo Xi.â Gradually a firm light filled Wingerâs eye, âI said it before, I will protect your happiness in this life. Therefore, I wonât allow others to destroy your happiness either.â
Even if this means he must destroy everything that he holds dear, including his own consciousness, this man of the darkness wouldnât care.
Showing a soft gentle smile now, Yun Ruo Xi couldnât ask for a better response: âI know I was being a bit harsh on you Winger, but you must understand, Iâm also getting anxious as well during these hard times. Letâs do this then. After this mission is completed, I will grant you one wish thatâs within my ability to give, and if possibleâ¦â That said, a flash of murderous intent beams right out of those eyes, âKill Bai Yan if you can, kill her if you get the chance!â
Rou Xi was very much aware of Wingerâs strength. If this dog of hers goes in person, he might just be able to do some serious damage to that family. If lucky, he might even assasinate Bai Yan while they arenât aware of whatâs going on.
Pursing his lips into a thin line, the shadowy man gave one last stare to his supposed savior before finally turning away. In the end, he didnât try to persuade her anymore and disappeared into the sky.
Not long after this brief encounter, Yun Rou Xi had come before the grumpy Keeper.
Happy in the face: âKeeper Ling, you came right on time, I got wind of Brother Yi Godâs whereabout.â
âReally?â A flash of joy filled the old timerâs face, causing his eyes to shine with warmth and kindness.
âItâs true.â
Thereâs no way Winger would deceive me so this information must be true.
âKeeper Ling, I ask you not force the Lord into anything he doesnât want to do. If he wish to stay outside then please let him, andâ¦â That said, she then hung her eyes downward like a dejected maiden, âItâs fine if he doesnât want me, I donât want to force him into a relationshipâ¦.â
But unlike the woman who only has the topic of love in mind, the old timer opposite to herself didnât have the ear for it. Instead, he only heard the part about Chu Yi God being located.
âTell me now, I need to go see the Lord. No matter what, I must bring him back to the palace!â In that split second, a sinister light flickers within the seniorâs eye, a total contrast to the delighted face he was making.
If I remember correctly, Bai Yan was already pregnant before. If without accident she wouldâve given birth by now. If itâs a girl then thatâs perfect, if not then I will make sure she produces another one, and to do that we will need the Lordâs help!
