Everyone inside the hall looked up to see their G.o.d in that big fiery phoenix form, being held by this woman like she owned the G.o.d and forgot to even breath.What kind of woman did our Emperor offend? Who is more powerful than our patron G.o.d? Could this be an incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor?
Xing didn"t look at those who were on their knees on the floor who were scared out of their wits and were about to pa.s.s out.
"Come on, let"s go...", Xing pulled the invisible leash on Zhu Rong"s neck.
I will humiliate you more!
"Chop.. Chop, my slave! ", she smirked.
"Where? Are you going to execute me?", Zhu Rong changed to her human form and her fiery red eyes were filled with malice as she was treated like cattle,being pulled along.
Wait till the Heavenly Emperor gets here! No matter what the situation is, the Heavenly realm is supercilious and they won"t allow one of theirs to be treated this way in front of humans.
"Ha ha... No!", Xing gave a sinister smile and pulled Zhu Rong and she fell face first on the floor as Xing landed there, dragging her along from the platform towards the exit.
Xing"s eyes were looking around for the entry of the Heavenly Emperor.
She had plans!
She knew, surely the heavens won"t be pleased by the public humiliation of one of theirs. And a G.o.d humiliated in front of humans..? They would never allow it.
Zhu Rong got a bit scared seeing her strength all drained. She was on the floor, sprawled along with all those filthy humans and the debris on the floor punctured her palms and it bled as she was dragged on the floor like a dirty rag.
Where is everyone?
Why aren"t they here yet?
Why is this happening to me?
She could feel that she is now able to talk because she was allowed to.
Does she want me to beg? A mere human? Should I beg her?
No!
But she knew, If this keeps on, she"d disappear... Just like Old Rong did in her hands.
That image of Old Rong, crumbling to dust came in her memory sending a s.h.i.+ver down her bones. Disappearing like she had never existed... Won"t that be bad?
This insolent person could do that easily! She even put a hold on me like I"m some lowly animal!
No, I should make her lose the trial! At least then all my humiliation would be worth it!
" Aren"t you going to ask me for the antidote? If you kill me, you won"t be able to get it", Zhu Rong tried to bargain. Even though she was scared, her tone held haughtiness as if she was talking to someone inferior and even so the tremble in her voice proved her fear. But her eyes hid a slight cunningness in it. The little curve in the corner of her mouth signalled she had already succeeded eighty percentage and one "Yes" from her would make her fail.
Xing paused her steps as she felt something was wrong. The fierceness in her eyes reduced as her rational thinking got activated overcoming her emotional responses.
"Why is she willing to give me the antidote just like that? And why does her words seem like gloating? Shouldn"t she know she shouldn"t be scared since the other G.o.ds will come for her aid anytime now..? And... Won"t she want me to lose the trial? Why is she offering the antidote to end my trial? Does she seem that scared of me?"
No way!
Wait...
Could it be that...

Getting the antidote might make me lose the trial?
Xing thought for a second.
The trial could be her willingness to accept Chenglei even though he won"t wake up and as a reward for enduring the suffering, they"d let him wake up.
So the trial is not for me to get Chenglei to wake up proving my love for him but to wait patiently?
If so, did I react wrong?
The antidote bottle was empty... That means there is no antidote and Chenglei would wake up by himself in due time?
I shouldn"t try to get him to wake up but should be sitting beside him serving him?
Is that what was expected of me?
How many traps were set for me?
So my plan of getting the antidote from the Heavenly Emperor in exchange for Zhu Rong was flawed right from the start?
They knew I won"t be sitting still and would try to swim across the current and they deliberately made the trial like this?
Those smartas*es!
If I stayed with Chenglei, he will wake up sooner or later and now by las.h.i.+ng out, I ruined that chance?
Did I already lose?
Oh, Xing! You impulsive fool! Why didn"t you think this through?
You just charged like a bull and you ended up hitting a stone wall... Isn"t your skull the one broken now?
You killed humans, you humiliated a G.o.d...
In the end, you"ll get punished and since I lost the trial, Chenglei will die as that was his fate.
My impulsiveness...
Xing fisted her hands trying to control the swirling emotions in her heart.
What have I done?
What have I done?
I ruined my chance of happiness by myself.
I killed my love with my own hands...!
No...
No...
There were thunderous emotions rolling inside Xing"s heart.
"What do you say? You let me go and ill give you the antidote I have on me", Zhu Rong added seeing the back of Xing frozen stiff.
"She is considering my offer", Zhu Rong smirked, "She might have kept her chast.i.ty but she cannot deny this offer! After all, she fell for me when I previously suggested to enter the palace early... She is not that smart!"
Zhu Rong chuckled evily in her heart.
Finally! Finally! I can take everything of hers! What if she ended my descendants? I can make more! I only want her to suffer, for everything she took from me! In the end she"s the one who lost everything!
Zhu Rong"s patronising tone made Xing frown and it confirmed her suspicions. She indeed have chosen the wrong route! The losing route!
I failed!
I failed!
Xing gritted her teeth.
No.... No.... There"s got to be a way.... After everything.... No... I cannot lose my Prince!
No...
He cannot die....
Think Xing! Think!
There should be a way!
There is still time....
You still haven"t accepted the antidote so you haven"t lost yet. But the way you reacted... That"s what might bring you trouble...
What can you do...? Think!
Xing could feel the portal from the Heavenly Realm opening.
Xing! Think! There is not much time!
Lub-dub.... Lub-dub.... Lub-dub... Lub-dub
With her heart racing fast enough to make her pant, Xing turned to face the platform.
The ones who were sprawled on the ground gasped and Zhu Rong"s face lit up seeing the big dark dragon, looking fierce and deadly appearing in the platform, followed by an enormous tiger and a blue dragon who looked elegant and poised.
Fei Lian"s eyes focused on Xing and a gentle breeze blew through her face.
"Little one! Be calm! You still have a chance!"
The gentle voice grazed through her ears as she got the comfort given by an wise elder during struggling times.
Her eyes filled to the brims with tears felt a gentle splash of cold water... Invisible but refres.h.i.+ng like a mother"s gentle hand.
I"m still the little favourite child of the heavens, aren"t I?
Yes! I still have a chance!
Xing"s face bloomed to a smile as she looked at the Heavenly Emperor who unchained Zhu Rong from her hold.
"h.e.l.lo, bleached peac.o.c.k!", Xing grinned ear to ear making Mazu snort and Fei Lian who was keeping an indifferent expression rolled his eyes.
Let"s see what kind of drama she is going to enact!
