Both sides were aiming to kill. Since Death awaited either way, I would kill to my heartâs content before it arrived!
There was only blood, shredded pork, and torrential rain in my eyes. Gradually, the redness enveloped my world. It was like the world was turning crimson.
My other senses shut down, and I only felt the rod in my hand. I kept swinging, and the smell of blood filled my nose. People pressed in from both sides. I was tired, but I couldnât stop.
I could feel Deathâs eyes on me. I wanted to surrender to it, but my limbs refused to stop. I turned towards the light and screamed. I just wanted everything to stop!
âAh!!!â
âNanxing!â Jing Tianâs anxious voice came into my ears.
My heart suddenly dropped to the ground. Jing Tian had finally arrived.
Then, I was startled.?Why is he here?
I opened my eyes in a hurry. Oh, it was just a dream.
I saw nothing but white, and I could hear the sound of the monitoring device.
âNanxing, youâre awake?â Jing Tianâs face came into my sight. He had an anxious expression.
I blinked my eyes to make sure that I was seeing a real person.
Then, I felt the weight from my four limbs. Every part of my body seemed to be in pain. I stretched slowly, trying to feel the damage.
âUrghâ¦â I hissed from the intense pain. Pain, that was the only feeling I had.
Jing Tian reached out his hand and pressed on the bedside bell. âYouâre badly injured. The doctor needs you to go for a check-up after you wake up. Donât move around recklessly. Youâre going to make the wounds worse.â
My mind finally cleared up a little.
âJing Tian?â I called out to him.
âYes.â He held my hand and leaned over to kiss my forehead.
âIâm still alive,â I muttered.
âNanxing, Iâm sorry.â Jing Tian placed my hand on the side of his face. There was some stubble on his chin, and it tickled me. It appeared like he had been guarding me without sleep.
âWhere are Jing Ni and Maggie?â I asked.
âTheyâre both fine. Donât worry,â Jing Tian said.
I recalled some of the remaining memories in my mind. âJing Ni has changed.â
Jing Tian didnât say anything.
âIs she badly injured?âI asked.
Jing Tian looked at me with a gentle gaze and nodded. âHer injuries are more serious than yours. You have a martial arts background. She doesnât. She was fighting with pure brute strength. Sheâs lucky to be alive.â
I closed my eyes. âJing Tian, I regained some memories from the past after I lost control. But theyâre all hazy. Do you think Iâll eventually remember everything?â
Jing Tian held my hand and said gently, âNanxing, donât force yourself. Does it really matter if you can remember it or not? Weâll eventually find out the truth.â
I nodded slightly, but I still hoped that one day I could remember what happened. It felt incomplete, having part of my memory missing.
âMai Qi must be scared out of her wits,â I muttered.
âSheâs not that fragile. The three of you are amazing. With you three at the helm, Sky City will one day surpass Dragonâs Gate and Ardent Flame Alliance.â Jing Tian said with a gentle smile. He was so sweet when he was like this.
âJing Tian, tell me the truth. How serious is my injury? Will I become disabled? I can handle the truth.â I had figured out what had happened. I looked at Jing Tian calmly.
