1752 Side Story 3: The Children’s Side Story (2)
Sheng Shining said mockingly to the woman beside Lu Cheng’an, “So you’re Lu Cheng’an’s fiancée. I was wondering how beautiful Lu Cheng’an’s fiancée would be.” With that said, Sheng Shining glanced at the woman from head to toe with a condescending gaze. Then, she pursed her lips in disdain and said, “How ugly.”
Embarra.s.sed and angry, the girl retorted, “Sheng Shining, you’re too much.”
Lu Cheng’an stepped forward with his left leg to protect the woman behind him. Then, he frowned as he said to Sheng Shining, “Sheng Shining, that’s enough. It’s very unladylike to insult a girl in public.”
Seeing that Lu Cheng’an was defending the girl, Sheng Shining smiled and said, “Lu Cheng’an, if you’re so protective of her, then I…” The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she said with an extremely cold smile, “I’ll disfigure her!” With that, Sheng Shining’s index finger swiped at the girl. Then, the girl screamed and covered her face with her hand.
Blood flowed from the girl’s fingertips.
After the girl let go, she stared at the blood in her palm and immediately screamed, “Ah!” Her face!
When Lu Cheng’an saw the girl’s wound, his pupils dilated slightly. Then, he suddenly pulled out his spirit sword and scolded Sheng Shining angrily, “Sheng Shining, don’t think that just because you’re the beloved daughter of the Phoenix Great Dao, we have to respect you, give in to you, and tolerate you! Your mother is indeed a Divine Master respected by the entire world, but you’re not! Your actions are simply tarnishing your mother’s reputation!”
“Sheng Shining, you’re too much. I won’t forgive you for injuring Yue’er’s appearance!” With that said, Lu Cheng’an raised the spirit sword in his hand and attacked Sheng Shining.
Sheng Shining stared at Lu Cheng’an coldly. She had no intention of fighting back.
Lu Cheng’an’s sword pierced into Sheng Shining’s heart.
“You…”
Seeing that Sheng Shining didn’t dodge, Lu Cheng’an was stunned. His fingers, which were holding the spirit sword, were trembling as he asked Sheng Shining in disbelief, “Why didn’t you dodge?”
Sheng Shining’s answer had a sense of maturity that didn’t match her age. She said, “The boy I like is determined to hurt me, so whether I dodge or not, I will still get hurt.”
Lu Cheng’an retracted his spirit sword.
Sheng Shining lowered her eyes and looked at her bleeding chest. As if she didn’t feel any pain, she said to Lu Cheng’an, “When I was seven years old, you saved my life. This stab is in exchange for saving my life. Lu Cheng’an, from today onwards, I, Sheng Shining, won’t ever like you again.”
When Lu Cheng’an heard Sheng Shining’s words, his frown deepened, and his gaze changed.
Sheng Shining suddenly looked at the girl behind Lu Cheng’an and said, “Lu Cheng’an, we’re even, but I have to kill Lin Yue!” The killing intent in her eyes was intense. She wouldn’t stop until she killed Lin Yue.
Lin Yue was so frightened by Sheng Shining’s gaze that she hid behind Lu Cheng’an and grabbed the fabric behind his waist as she said with tears, “Cheng’an, save me…”
Like a protective hen, Lu Cheng’an opened his arms and shielded Lin Yue behind him as he questioned Sheng Shining, “You want to kill Yue’er just because I like Yue’er and rejected you? Sheng Shining, you’re too ruthless.”
Sheng Shining sneered. “Do you think you’re worthy of my hand being stained with blood?”
Lu Cheng’an was rendered speechless by Sheng Shining.
Staring at the woman hiding behind Lu Cheng’an, Sheng Shining asked her, “Were you the one who released the crystal beast in the b.u.t.terfly Valley and deliberately lured Xuanyuan Niaoniao to capture it, but caused her to accidentally barge into the nest of a level-six demon beast and almost die?!”
Xuanyuan Niaoniao was the daughter of Xuanyuan Chen and Liuli Luoluo. She was three years older than Sheng Shining and the two of them had been friends since they were young.
Xuanyuan Niaoniao awakened her beast form at the age of 10. When she was 16 years old, she entered the Divine Realm Academy to study. She was in the same grade as Lu Cheng’an and Lin Yue. Lin Yue and Xuanyuan Niaoniao were at loggerheads in the academy. Lin Yue took advantage of this opportunity to secretly get rid of Xuanyuan Niaoniao.
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng’an turned around and asked Lin Yue, “Is what Sheng Shining said true?”
Lin Yue shook her head vigorously. “I didn’t. I’ve always been with you. Don’t you know if I’ve done such a thing or not? Cheng’an, I indeed don’t have a good relationship with Xuanyuan Niaoniao, but I don’t have a deep grudge against her. Why would I do such a thing?!”
Sheng Shining was used to doing whatever he wanted. She was the daughter of a Divine Master that everyone feared. Compared to her words, Lu Cheng’an naturally chose to believe his fiancée’s words.
“I think there might be a misunderstanding,” Lu Cheng’an said to Sheng Shining.
“Misunderstanding.” Sheng Shining sneered. “Is murder and arson all a misunderstanding in your eyes as long as they’re done by her? Lu Cheng’an, I think you’re blinded by her. She almost killed my friend. I won’t rest until I kill her today!”
Sheng Shining really wanted to kill her.
After she pressed her right hand into the void, Lin Yue’s long and straight hair was grabbed by an invisible hand and forcefully pulled into the void. As Lin Yue floated in the void, her feet kept struggling and she shouted in pain, “Cheng’an, save me. She wants to kill me!”
“Shut up!” Sheng Shining whipped Lin Yue’s abdomen, instantly tearing her dress and skin.
Lin Yue cried out in pain.
Sheng Shining scolded Lin Yue angrily, “Shut up! When you wanted to kill Niaoniao, why didn’t you think about how painful it would have been for her? Every time you scream, I’ll whip you again!” Sheng Shining whipped Lin Yue five times in a row until Lin Yue was about to faint.
Lu Cheng’an couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Sheng Shining, you’re being unreasonable!” With that, he raised his spirit sword to attack Sheng Shining again.
This time, Sheng Shining tied Lu Cheng’an up on the spot without showing any mercy. “You two are engaged, so you should share blessings and hardships together.” Sheng Shining simply tied the two of them together and beat them up.
The others looked at each other in dismay, but didn’t dare to help.
…
After watching this video, Yu Huang’s expression remained unchanged. She only said to Xuan Yu, “Call Leftie and Rightie back.”
Xuan Yu also watched the video, but she felt that Sheng Shining’s actions were understandable, so Xuan Yu wanted to plead for leniency for the two children. “Master, the reason Rightie hurt them was to avenge her friend. This is called loyalty. You…”
“Xuan Yu.” After Yu Huang looked at Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Yu Huang rubbed the memory stone and said, “It’s not wrong to stand up for a friend, but the prerequisite is that she has to show concrete evidence. She wants to convict someone without evidence and based on her words all alone. Is this called loyalty? This is called bullying and recklessness.”
Xuan Yu was stunned.
Only then did she realize that she had underestimated this matter.
Xuan Yu stopped pleading and hurriedly went to look for Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining.
