At the signal, the crowd behind the hazy figure moved and began their attack upon the couple. The strikes were fierce as they came in from multiple directions. Even so, they were not enough to completely overwhelm their target who met them punch for punch, kick for kick.
âLeave me behind State Teacher, you mustnât die for me! You wonât be able to survive if youâre busy protecting me.â Tears flowing, Di Xiao Wan cries out with trembling voice after seeing the terrible state her protector has gotten himself into. She may be a clutz at times, but even she could see the tide doesnât lie with them as the fighting dragged on.
Despite his robe being in tatters and body covered in wounds by this point, this gentle and kind gentleman didnât utter a word, only continuing to fend off the punches and blades with his own hands. He wonât be deterred, thatâs his resolution and duty as a man.
I said I will protect her, nothing will get in my way of doing so!
As nice as those thoughts were, State Teacherâs strained body was swiftly beginning to show its flaws. Heâs become a swaying tree with holes punched into his trunks. If this continued then itâs just a matter of time before heâs toppled over.
âMilord!â Suddenly, a familiar voice cuts in upon this rose covered field where a life and death battle ensued.
Di Xiao Wan recognized this voice instantly. Turning to face the lady with a growl, the demon princess wanted to slap the fox lady out of frustration.
âDidnât you promise me you wouldnât hurt her?â Qiu Moon ran up to the hazy figure and kneeled there.
He clearly promised me, if he didnât promise me then I wouldnât have done this!
Why are things turning out like this? I never planned for this at all, it shouldnât have become like this, it never was!
âScram!â The haze roared, carrying force in the voice and sending the fox ladyâs body tumbling backwards like he just punched her in the gut. âI did promise you, but what of it? Who told her to be Di Cangâs sister? If I donât kill her then how can I teach that bastard a proper lesson!â
Qiu Moonâs body froze as blood slowly trickled out of her mouth, those eyes dull and lost like the life just got sucked out of her soul.
How did this happen...
Heâs going to kill her?
Iâm so dumb to have believed him...
âYou lied to me, you lied to me...â Qiu Moonâs voice sounded shaky, her eyes unable to hide the despair circulating in those eyes, âWhy did you lie to me?â
I am so stupid, why did I believe this man when I knew he hated her brother! What am I supposed to do...
