Accompanying the Phoenix – Chapter 14 . 1

This is the only female that would be able to make the proud price lower his head for help . Chen Li tugged Prince Rui’s hand, pulling him to a stop, saying gently, “Little Lotus said that, she for you, struggled through hardships to beco a real person, not for you to slaughter . Now, for you, she sacrificed herself . ”

Prince Rui was startled, listening to Chen Li’s emotionless voice as she continued, “My own fault, I was too careless about bringing her here . I hadn’t thought that you would’ve been able to sense her here, knew that she was hiding behind us . Such a good play you had created, right Prince Rui? However... . . ”

Chen Li didn’t finish, but Prince Rui could guess the aning behind it .

Little Lotus had seen through him, but had still foolishly followed her feelings for him . She loathed the sche Prince Rui had put on, but she still couldn’t escape the plot .

A truly, downright silly girl .

Prince Rui was silent . Chen Li turned to Xing Yun and spoke, “I’ll go deliver them outside, you stay still and wait for here . ”

Xing Yun hid his hands behind him, his face heavy with dark circle, and gently nodded . However, the preoccupied Chen Li couldn’t see the differences in the dark, only grasping Prince Rui’s wrist . With a flash, the two were standing on the bridge near Prince Rui’s residence .

The palace was silent, lacking any signs of life . Corpses of bodyguards floated on the surface of the lake . Prince Rui’s brows wrinkled, about to ask a question, but suddenly Chen Li disappeared with a flash, not saying a word of goodbye . The lady in his arms coughed twice, causing a sense of urgency to well up in his heart as he rushed down the bridge . As he did, his eyes were involuntarily attracted the the lotus in the lake .

Withered leaves, bent stalks, and a dry flowerhead told that it was dead . In this mont, a picture inexplicably leaped into Prince Rui’s head . A pink clothed girl leaped into his arms, smiling . Not yet able to speak, she instead rubbed her cheeks against his chest to express her love . She stuttered adorably, “Zhu... . . Zhu, lotus likes . Z-Zhu likes . Zhu l-likes . Little lotus?”

He rembers at that ti, saying without hesitation, “Like . ” He easily deceived her, yet the deceived little girl just let out a bright, happy smile . So beautiful, it could almost light up his soul, letting him see all the darkness inside him .

A Liar! He was such a big liar! Since today, this world will never have another Little Lotus... . At this mont, Zhu Chengjin actually hated himself, hated how despicable he really was .

In the underground chamber, Chen Li slapped her hand angrily on the stone bed . The soul tying array on the bed cracked, dust flying up into the air causing Xing Yun to cover his mouth, coughing lightly . “Don’t vent your anger onto the stone bed . ” Xing Yun sighed, “It was I chose to bring little lotus down here . If you want to vent your anger, just talk to . ”

Chen Li closed her eyes, her angry mood gradually calming down . “If I were her, then I must kill that man . Make him pay for my life with his . ” Her deanor was cold and gloomy, “To sacrifice herself for that kind of man’s happiness, he is unworthy . ”

“It’s not right for outsiders to have the final say . ” Xing Yun spoke, “As long as she was willing, no one is qualified to judge this matter is right or wrong . ”

Chen Li felt an urge in her heart . “That guy didn’t know who he has killed . ”

“How could he not have known?” Xing Yun smiled faintly, “He knows, just for him, Little Lotus’s feelings simply didn’t matter . ”

Chen Li was silent, anger stirring in her heart . “Such a disgusting man, other woman always on his mind!” Suddenly she thought of her own situation, Fu Rong’s own disgusting nature . So annoying! “If I ever fancy a man, then I will never care about anyone else or let people interfere with us! To , I will only accept the whole thing, if only a part, I won’t care! If he dares to sche with , then I’ll break his bones!”

Her speech was loud and clear, causing Xing Yun to turn, shocked . Blinking to refocus, he spoke, “Nice courage . ”

Chen Li regained her composure and scratched her head awkwardly, “Of course, the day before yesterday, I took a fancy to you . However, we won’t be together in the future, so you are still free to marry . ” Listening to her words, in spite of holding it in, Xing Yun burst into laugher . Before he could finish, Chen Li waved her hand, “I don’t have any more ti to stay here . Co, I’ll send you out . ”

“Okay . ” Xing Yun agreed, extending his hand . But before Chen Li’s hand could grab him, he shrank his arm back . He coughed hoarsely, his waist bending towards the floor . Chen Li was startled, not yet recovered from her surprise when Xing Yun started vomiting out clouds of black blood . Chen Li was worried for his life, “How?”

Xing Yun opened his mouth, wanting to reply, but black blood just repeatedly gushed out instead . Chen Li rushed to hold him up, grabbing his hand to get his pulse . However, on his hand was a charred, thumb-sized black hole . Chen Li looked closer, realizing that it wasn’t newly made, but was caused by the baby demon spirit’s tears .

“When did you receive the wound?!” Chen Li was furious, “Why didn’t you tell earlier!”

The surrounding flesh of the wound was already infected, the black flesh slowly expanding . The bloody spirits were a result of resentful magical qi being released into the air . Therefore, their bodily fluids were not only putrid, rotting, but also very, very toxic . Xing Yun was already very weak, aning the infection was many tis more serious than it would be for the common person . Yet for so long, he didn’t say a thing... .

Chen Li really wanted to hit him, but also feared that if she lost control of her strength, would kill him in one shot . Therefore, she could only clench her teeth and force back her anger . She hauled him onto her back, angrily shouting, “You! When you spat out that toxic black blood at , did you want to kill !”

Xing Yun’s lips were still black, blood flowing down from the corner of his lips . However, he still laughed faintly, “I tried to hold it back, but wasn’t able to so I had to . ”

Chen Li grinded her teeth, “A sickly person shouldn’t try to flaunt himself as a hero . You shut up!”

“Yeah... . ” Xing Yun sighed quietly, “When you were in your troubles, I have never once turned my back on you . ”
