Chapter 1413 “The Only Light (5)”
“Ruo Xi, I won’t do it. I can help you fight the demon king and your enemies, but I won’t help you harm an innocent child that has done nothing to deserve such a fate. This is final.” From those cool eyes, a strong sense of unyielding strength comes forward.
He had compromised too many times before, and for that, he regrets it. Now was the time he needs to put his foot down and makes a stance. There’s more than one way to repay a debt and it wasn’t this way.
Pack!
The wicked imposter instantly flew into a rage and slapped the man across the face. It’s loud and clear, leaving five red fingerprints along the skin.
“Garbage, you useless garbage! I wish you were dead instead of being so useless!” Giving a cruel glare, Yun Ruo Xi turns and left without glancing back. She’s very upset and didn’t care if her words hurt.
Winger didn’t feel angry or outraged as he watched that departing figure. To him, this was something that happens often so he’s numb to the insults alrady. What’s more, he didn’t care.
For the Terraraptor Crow clan, repaying a favor or debt doesn’t mean they are forced to endure insult or humiliations. This was something he himself chose. One for the sake of being lifted from that dark place when he was young, the other being he also had a wisp of hope for the other woman to return to her old self.
……
After a long while of not moving, Winger was finally ready to leave as well when a powerful pressure came pus.h.i.+ng down from above. Immediately, his face got white due to recognition.
“How did those people find me?”
Bang!
A ray of thunder suddenly strikes down from the sky, hitting directly onto Winger’s body. He wanted to dodge this attack but failed due to so how sudden it came. Next thing he knew was being flung to the ground from the impact, his mouth spewing blood as all color leaves his face.
Although this thunder didn’t have the same strength of a heaven’s retribution, but it still left the poor man incredibly painful and injured. In his blurred state, he could vividly see the figure of the one person he wants to see most right now.
“Rou…. Rou Xi….” He held out his hand, seemingly wanting to grasp onto the hazy image.
However, instead of lending a hand like any kind person would do, the imposter only showed a fearful picture in her existence. Then casting another glance upwards at the storm clouds rumbling above her head, this wretched woman didn’t think twice and made a run for the other way. She had no qualm about fleeing and running for her life.
To be fair, Yun Ruo Xi never intended to come back in the first place after she left the first time around. The only reason she returned was due to the loud commotion. Now that she’s sure danger was around the woman had no reason to stick around and get involved.
Winger’s consciousness slowly faded away as the strength left him, thus allowing his hand to fall to the ground after reaching out. Gradually in his half unconscious state, memories of old came echoing back….
“Big Brother Winger, you have to believe me, I will come and take you out of this place. I am not strong enough now, but I can help heal some of your injuries. Pain go away, shoo shoo.”
“But…. what if you don’t come?”
“If I grow strong enough then I will definitely come save you. But if you escape before I do then you can come find me instead. I live at the Celestial Palace.”
“Okay, if you don’t come… then I will go out and find you…”
Slowly but surely, that warm gentle voice which brought light into his life was fading away. He couldn’t figure out why, but it’s not the same anymore.
