Feng Tian knew that everything running inside Zhen Ying Yue"s mind was dark and negative. She was again facing the same year and situation which took place twenty two years ago. It was hard for her to see him alive again but it was not his fault that his spirit memory awakened which gave him an entirely new set of wisdom solely made for him.She wanted him dead because she thinks that he was the one responsible for every terrible thing that happened in her life and partly it was his fault too. He knew if he had not listened to Xing Yue and made those choices which harmed him and his brother"s family, they would be still alive and living happily together.
He was one of the reasons that Zhen Ying Yue"s life turned like this but he was not solely responsible for this.
Was this the time to reveal everything that occurred that night?
Who was the ultimate killer of her one-month-old daughter?
Why he did all that to a little girl?
Feng Tian never wanted to disclose anything about that night again to Zhen Ying Yue but her condition was getting worse after learning that he evoked the spirit memory.
He should tell her everything.
Feng Tian decided to reveal this secret that has haunted him for these entire years of separation with them.
"I was not the one… to kill your daughter." He whispered.
Although he decided to reveal this dark plot in front of her, he could not bring the courage and confidence to shout this in her face. It would deal a terrible blow to her after knowing that her father was the one that has destroyed her small family.
Mother Zhen abruptly stopped her hysterical laugh as these words came out of Feng Tian"s mouth. These words were like a huge bomb that broke her hatred and illusion of killing Feng Tian.
She could still reason things out clearly even after losing her mind and if he was saying that he didn"t kill her daughter then it must be true. If he told her this thing two days before, she would have spit on his face and would not have believed his white lies but everything was as clear as a sky now.
If he had a malicious and killing heart then his spirit memory would never be awakened. If he truly killed her daughter like she believed all these years then he would not be still alive in front of her.
"Who was it? I clearly saw you and father near Yue"er that night. He was trying to take her away from you. You clearly were holding the dagger to kill her. How could I not see all this? Tell me, Feng Tian, who was the real killer?" Mother Zhen asked him.
She feared his answer. It was like a big wall in front of her that was hiding the deepest cliff that would suck her in. She didn"t want to think about it. She was afraid that her conclusions were true and the true culprit was her own father.
"Tell me!" Mother Zhen cried in anguish. It was too hard for her to even imagine about this but she wanted to hear the truth. She has to; for her daughter and for her deceased husband. "Who was it?"
She silently cried and tried to cover her pain from him but Feng Tian was too aware of her fragile - innocent heart that bewitched his arrogant brother.
"It was your…"
"Ah!.....Ah!..." a voice shrieked from the spirit chambers and it automatically stopped Feng Tian"s explanation in between.
It was Zhen Xiu"s shriek as she was the only person inside the spirit room and in the inner region of spirit hall other than them.
"What"s wrong with her?" Mother Zhen was anxious.
"Let"s go and see."
***
Zhen Xiu was sweating and could not move her body. She remembered the immense pain and turbulent power entering inside her body just after Lu Jian, that husband uttered those three demonic words.
Yes! Demonic words.
They were similar to the demonic tune in her previous life which gives pain and suffering. She thought it was some easy task and after it was finished she could peacefully live her own life.
But how can a new life be so cheap?
She was naive to think that this new deal was cheap and easy. If the feeling of your soul obliteration and suffering the pain of losing your soul is cheap and easy then nothing in this world could be expensive.
If it was just this she could still accept it but just after she got her consciousness back, she was once again in the ancient domain.
Like everything she faced and felt was a beautiful dream. A pretty lie away from this terrible truth.
She didn"t like this one bit. After all, she was not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t, she didn"t want to live this horrible life again.
She was sulking at her misfortune when she was attacked again.
"h.e.l.l! Who is so daring to attack this princess?"
She countered the attack with her magic and fortunately, it was still working unlike in the modern world where she could not use it.
It was good to feel her power again.
She saw that her father that maniac was attacking her again. This scene was eerily familiar to her. She noticed that she was just now sitting on the chair ready to eat dumplings. Her favorite food in the morning.
It was like this before when she died abruptly from the hands of her father. So, she was here just a minute before her death.
Great! Now she would finish this sc.u.m.
(Thank You Zhen Xiu for giving me this opportunity.)
Evil princess was casually thanking her but she was surprised to hear a soft female voice in return.
[It was your reward for fulfilling my last wish. I used my power to send you here and kill this sc.u.m before you can live again.]
Evil princess attacked her old father with full force and bound him in her illusion.
(I can still go back.) She asked the original Zhen Xiu excitedly.
[Yes! I had promised you in the beginning.] The soft voice replied happily, glad to give her this surprise.
