âIn this world, no one truly loves me. Aside from Auntie Ning who did, my own father is bent on only using me.â
So what other reason do I have to live for when the last person who truly cares for me has left?
âI admit, part of me wanted to be Auntie Ningâs daughter because of that demonic beast she held in her hands, but more of it was because I was unwilling to give her up to someone else! Why does some random stranger get to take her away from me when Iâve been with her for all these years?! I always thought she owed me for that, but now I finally understand, it is I who owes her for everything kind that is in my lifeâ¦.â Gently closing her eyes, a single drop of tear fell out of the corner to show how helplessly sad she was.
âIf you want to die then I will oblige you!â A flash of killing intent filled Keeper Lingâs gaze as he whisked his sleeve, shooting out a light beam towards Ning Yuâs figure.
Perhaps the heart still feared death because Ning Yu continued to tremble under the bristling wind of this valley. However, sheâs got no room left to escape at this point.
Yet⦠the expected stinging pain never came.
Finding this strange, she slowly wedged a slit in her tightly clamped eyelids and took a peek. To her shock, thereâs a slender figure standing in front of herselfm, pierced through the chest by that ray.
In this second, this very moment, Ning Yu couldnât feel her heart beating anymore as Le Xinâs body gradually fell down to the bushes like a withering rose.
âYuâer, my feelings for you isnât fake, nor is it only for Brother Yuanâs sake. He is one of the reasons, but alsoâ¦. For more than a decade, Iâve been watching over you from the shadows, thereâs no way I donât care for youâ¦.â That said, the dying lady then shifts her gentle gaze over to the scum who still didnât move a step to help: âBrother Yuan, I know you are not like that. If Yuâer dies then youâll regret it, so⦠let me do this one last thing for you.â
Following those final words, the last spark of life now leaves the beautyâs eyeâ¦.
Regret, pain, and guilt poured into Ning Yuâs heart as she stared down at the pool of blood continuing to seep out of that lifeless body. Then in a sudden burst of anger, resentment filled those crying eyes as she herself confronted her own father, the very scum who did nothing to help.
âShe sought that on her own, she canât blame anyone but herself for being so foolish.â Ning Yuan only showed a glimpse of surprise at the enraged look from his own daughter before returning back to his old self.
Understanding as much that she couldnât do anything, Ning Yu was done with that man as well and no longer cared. Crouching down, her hands gently held onto Le Xinâs body as she cried her hearts out.
âIâm sorry, Iâm so sorry Auntie Le.â
She did it again, making another dire mistake that costed her someone important!
