Chapter Text
Die Yi saw the rustic walls of the prison of Karma become dark, the blood in her lips tasty rust, the heart was tiny and painful, not because of the close death, but for her master. Her stupid passion didn't care about herself death, if she could love someone and his get proud of her tasks by his orders.
Her body fell on the ground, the red color decorates the floor, the sword trespassed her belly deeply, the straight hair touching the wet face as the tears ran away in the cheeks. The last thought was simple and devotional: Lord RongHao. The person behind this name could be unknown but was the reason of everything. The darkness engulfed all the room of rocks, gates and magic.
The footsteps are loudly against the pavement, the long clothes slide in the ground, the face is inflexible and in front of him, the room is waste, the jail open, the bright light covers the entire room, the puddle of blood becomes copper with the golden light. He stops in front of her, turns the body with the foot, the sword crosses the abdomen. Turn down, putting the hand in her face, a subtle sign of breath.
With a scorn smile in his face, grabs her arm and lift holding her waist, bringing out of the jail, some guards appear trying to block their escape, with swords and magic. The lord fairy with just one hand, conjures his power, black souls shakes around perforating the soldiers bodies, contaminating their blood and killing them from inside to outside in an explosion of black fluids dripping by the eyes, mouth and ears. The corpses fell to the ground. The others began to curse, "It's a demon! It's a demon". But not was a demon, it is just the power of Taisui, the God of destruction alive since the sacrifice of the first Goddess of Xishan.
Pulling the weapon of a corpse, hit the guy in front, destroying the armor and cutting his stomach, the organs fell like an old bag in the middle of the court, the second attacker screams wielding a Chinese sword, his strike hits the air and throw up litters of blood, when the bloody sword hit the nail on the body and is rolled in the injures. Almost died, tries to run away, leaving a red string following him. The assassin stretched the sword in his direction, with a cold voice, says.
“Give her your primordial root.” - It's a command and is promptly done. The guard dies, seemingly a dry branch.
When a plus number of guards appears in the prison, the prisoner and his servant are gone, letting back a terrible odor of death, blood and organs.
Inside the castle, the woman fell to the ground, cuffing and breathing deeply, instantly before it was agonizing to die. Staggers some steps ahead and looks at the hands, touches the face, the body, the wounds, so wide open the brown eyes.
“What did you do?” Surprised, screams.
“I saved your miserable life.” He answers. Hidden in the shadows.
“I didn't ask for this. Is my life and I decided when I must die” The eyes were red, the face angrier. “And I prefer to be dead instead of serving you again.”
A cruel laugh.
“But you are my pawn, you belong to me.” The man let the darkness. His long hair is bright, with a lonely silver lock in the length. The robe, colorful like a bird, appears through the faint candlelight. “What happened with that dedicated and motivated Die Yi?”
Touches her chin. She shakes the head, seeming uncomfortable.
“She was interred in that jail…” Cracked the chin. “When you let me there to die.”
A funny laugh.
"Did you think I care about you? Were you wrong. - He holds her hair, the black strings framing the face, her eyes fulminating him with deep looks. "You were my only option, so, because of that, I rescued you from those guys."
"To me, that guys were better than being transformed into a monster because of your proposals." She replies seriously.
He turns around.
"My child… will learn that have things in life worse than being changed into a monster. - The huskily pitch shimmered in the room.
Like love, you. She thought.
Impotently, he sits in the couch, letting the arms below of the upholstered and stare at her in the middle of the room, the blood still dirtying her face.
"I want to know what happened with my good and loyal servant because lately it has been so useless." He gasps.
Die Yi lifts the black cloth to see her injury, and it has begun to heal. She's not pleased to be saved, she died serving the person that she loves and this was enough, was fullfiled her ordeal, such as the Yunmeng Lake. But now, it's different. He hits the fingers on the fabric, waiting.
She thought her passion was death with her, but now the whole pack returned. She walks around, the noise of the fingers is annoying and wants to scream everything once was silenced.
"First let that stupid fairy escape from Haishi…" He begins to list her failures. - Second, didn't disturb her exam in Shyuintian…
… Didn't kill Dongfang Qingcang…
… Didn't kidnap Orchid…
… Didn't kill Jie Li and her family…
… Didn't kill Shang Que…
He gasps again, impatiently.
"The only thing you succeeded in doing was appearing when Dongfang Qingcang broke my illusion." Lift the dark eyes to her, strokes his chin with the metal golden full finger ring, analyzing the girl. "Why?"
Her heart speeds up with his words, the shame blushes the face and scares the floor. The body is painful, swallow hard, tight the hands; the look in her seems to burn your skin. A mix of feelings inside of her, agonizing. What would she do? Open to him your heart? Would her lie? Would she hide? If her action, when he went weak to the human world, and she tried to impede him with a hug, was not clear, nothing more would be.
"Die Yi!" He called her with a rude accent, partially closing his eyes. Wild.
She breathes deeply, bites the intern cheeks, looks the eyes away in front of herself.
"Because I love you, and I was tired to see kill yourself gradually for love of a person who died thirty years ago!" She screams loudly, the hot air mixes with the cold one, letting the words float between them.
The demon, like Jie Li referred to, has the nose wide open, breathing quickly, the audacity growing up, challenging him.
"You have been stupid because of that. The God of War overcame his passion for the goddess and fell in love with another woman… but you…" Didn't stop, she knew these words were to herself, if stopped would suffocate. Both of them needed to hear this. "You got mad with the proposal to revive your master and became insane. She's just a woman… a normal and dead woman, she can't love you."
The atmosphere changed, the cold air from the mountains wind inside the room, blowing the black wires in the heads, the curtains in the windows and the candleholder in the furniture. Die Yi can't notice the movements or the black fog that covers the place, she just feels the pain in her cheeks and the tears rolling through her eyes, after being slapped in the face.
The lord of Haishi appears in front of her, the expressions cloudy, the lips tense and growling wild.
"How dare you?" Push her head getting close, she feels his hot breath, the voice slow and dangerous. "My shifu is not a simple woman, she is a goddess. She's the only person I love, and I am her only devoted and passionate pupil."
The girl is angry, the noticeable traits in her face. The jealousy possessing the feelings, the long nails hurting the skin in her hands.
"How could a mortal, useless and expendable person understand this love?" Whispers to her, slowly and deadly.
"So kill me. Finish with my suffering to love and see who I love to die." - Grab his hands holding tight, claiming it. Desperate. Be rejected, pain. Worse than salt in an injury.
Just hears two snaps of disagreeing sounds.
"Master…" Lifts the eyes shining with tears, looking at him. Trying to see his soul, the truth and discover his locked heart. Hugs him tight, caressing the face in his chest, cleaning the wet face in the clothes. "… Could you love me?"
A painful hiccup sounds in the atmosphere. The silence continues, seeming fragile to be broken. Finally, the sharp words.
"My love and life belongs to my shifu." Say it clearly. "I can't love anyone or anything else. Changheng is my friend. Friendship was the only other feeling that I learned in this thirty thousand years. You are not my friend, you are just my piece in this game.
Stretches a finger in her face, rolling a lock of hair.
"But you can't die, your payment when I saved your life, was not paid off. And you need to pay me each cent." Hits soft slaps in the face, where before was hitted hard, and orders, before he goes. "Now, recover yourself and be ready when I call you."
Die Yi fell to the ground, crying silently. Pound the floor with angry fists. Her body might be weak, she's not eating anything, all the liquids in her body were crying.
