Chenglei walked towards s.h.i.+hong entirely covering Xing from his view, "Little Hong!", he called him endearingly that surprised Xing.Wow! This guy can act!
"Give me Old Rong! I"ll keep him safe!", he said in a soothing tone but only Xing could hear the coldness in his voice.
Xing could not see s.h.i.+hong"s reaction but she could feel Chenglei"s stressed back. He was still holding the lancet he used to try and scare her but Xing saw his grip was right with his knuckles protruding and ready to attack anytime.
"You trust me, right?", his mellow voice that could melt hearts reverberated, since s.h.i.+hong was hesitating.
s.h.i.+hong knew his wolf is being nice to him in the past couple of months but he still could sense a little distance between them and he still did not fall in love with him. He knew it was because he is not a woman... If only I were a woman, my wolf would have fallen for me! But still... I cannot give up!
"I trust you!", s.h.i.+hong wrapped his arms around Chenglei"s arms and turned him to face Xing with him standing by his side, "See, he is MY wolf!".
Xing just rolled her eyes, "Yeah... Right! Now let"s get to business. Why am I being held here?"
"We are here to witness your death and then your sister"s! She will come to us for avenging you, right? And then the three of us will be together... Me , My Wolf and Old Rong!", s.h.i.+hong spoke smacking his lips and counting with his fingers like a... Child!
"Oh! Good luck with that! So let"s get on with that now! And by the way, I am Huang Mingxia! ", Xing was extremely irritated and spilled the truth.
"What?", Xing could feel the fear from the halberd. "Eliminate her, immediately!", Old Rong shouted.
"He is lying... This is Lord Táng!", s.h.i.+hong was sure and he stepped closer to Xing and for some reason she felt her temper rising with every word s.h.i.+hong spoke.
Chenglei with his sharp eyes could see his moon getting irritated because he"s acting coy and felt bad to let her witness that.
"I"m the divine ruler! Untie me and I"ll show you!", Xing shouted trying to pull the iron chain that bound her hands. She didn"t even realise she was feeling jealous and that"s making her more irritated.
"Kill her... Kill her now!", Old Rong started to panic as he could sense the power surging from her.
Seeing her hurting her wrists, Chenglei frowned and got the halberd from s.h.i.+hong"s hands," Let me ", he smiled showing his teeth and Xing shook her head in disbelief seeing s.h.i.+hong looking at her man with love. But all she could feel from Chenglei was spite and disgust.
What happened next, sent a chill down her spine... Chenglei grabbed the halberd from s.h.i.+hong with his left hand and at the same time gave a swift, targeted stab on s.h.i.+hong"s throat, right on his trachea.
He was grinning at s.h.i.+hong one second and the next second, he gave the kill shot... Just like that! With no regret or second thoughts! Her man! He gave s.h.i.+hong the slowest and painful death one can give...
Xing knew s.h.i.+hong won"t survive and he will die choking on his own blood.
Blood started seeping through the cut and gradually wetted his clothes but s.h.i.+hong showed no sign of hurt that surprised Xing.

Xing"s eyes darted to Chenglei who now casually wiped the lancet in his hand and his eyes that were cold, purposely avoided her eyes. His aura exuded the darkness he always tried his best to hide from her... His basic instinct... To kill!
Chenglei"s thoughts were simple... This b.a.s.t.a.r.d who made his moon shed tears and took away her womb.... He cannot die easily...! He should spill his blood in her feet and she should watch him die like a dog he is!
He was slightly worried that he had to show her this side of his, he had carefully hid from her till now. He has talked about it to her and she knows it too but it is different to watch it, right?
But he has no regrets as he knows his moon has accepted him entirely with all his faults. But still he felt a bit scared to look at her in the eyes. He wanted her to still love him however selfish that is.
s.h.i.+hong started to wheeze as he felt his chest hurt and as he patted his chest he looked at his hands to see blood.
He tried to speak but he could not... His throat was stabbed... So how could he?
He grabbed Chenglei"s arms and tried to speak to him but he couldn"t and each time he moved his mouth, Xing could see more blood seeping from the wound.
Wow! He"s the one who stabbed you, you know..! And why is Old Rong silent..? Don"t tell me he already abandoned s.h.i.+hong... What a pity! A criminal overlord dying pathetically!
That"s when something more egregious happened. Chenglei patted s.h.i.+hong"s head and spoke in a soothing tone, "Little Hong! Are you having another one of your episodes now? What is it now? You see blood in your hands...? Come on, now! I told you those are all your hallucinations. You aren"t hurt. You trust me right.? This is why I ask you to drink all the drugs I make for you... So listen to me and be good... Let"s finish this divine ruler first... "
Xing"s entire face twitched.... Am I the one hallucinating or is Chenglei is treating s.h.i.+hong like a child? And drugs... Did Chenglei actually drug s.h.i.+hong? And is that why s.h.i.+hong doesn"t even realise he is being stabbed now? Wow! He actually made s.h.i.+hong believe that he is hallucinating!
How cruel and manipulative!
Xing actually felt a bit bad for s.h.i.+hong. As Chenglei patted his head his hair got disheveled and the Scar Xing made on his face came to view. And she remembered that this is the one who hurt her and her expression changed to darkness.
s.h.i.+hong deserves it! For what he did to me and to other women through the years... He surely deserves the worse punishment... But is this enough?
Xing saw s.h.i.+hong"s gaze still fixed endearingly on her man.
s.h.i.+hong still looked happy! His body is wounded and he"ll drown in his own blood but his heart... Why should it be left peaceful?
"Oi, s.h.i.+hong!", Xing called him, "The poison you gave to Eunuch Xin... Do you have the antidote?", she asked hoping if there is a possibility of her reversing her sickness.
She had not much hope and she knew if there was Chenglei would have gotten it for her but she wanted to hurt s.h.i.+hong by touching his regret... The festering wound in his heart he had just put a bandage on, the wound that haven"t healed.
