Chapter 271 - A deal with the devil (2/2)

Gu Zhi swallowed as he calm down his raging hormones.

Anytime she spoke he found himself getting lost. Her voice was absolutely breathtaking.

She was a devilish temptress and she knew it. Just the sound of her voice can cause nations to fall. Make men mortal enemies.

Suddenly the grin on her face morphed into a frown as she sat down while crossing her leg over the other.

”So tell me…” She paused as she looked at Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi's heart jolted in his c.h.e.s.t as his palms became clammy.

”Why is that man's child still alive? I gave you a simple task in exchange to live again but it's been years and you still haven't been able to do anything.”

The woman lips morphed into a smile. A smile Gu Zhi knew too well.

”I-I have finally found her and everything is going according to my plans. I just need more time.”

The almighty and arrogant Gu Zhi couldn't help but be afraid of the temptress before him. He stammered.

A shiver run along his spine when he heard her sinister laugh. His stomach turned and he suddenly felt a hot liquid on his lips.

Subconsciously he licked his lips and tasted the blood on his lips. He felt more liquid trickling down his face and clothes. Gu Zhi knew better than to scream or run away. He watched as the woman stood up and strode slowly towards him.

With sudden movements she touched the blood on his forehead and brought it to her lips.

”Time?” She laughed out.

”I don't have that much patience my dear. Now my patience is running thin. I think I have been lenient with you so you have forgotten who owns you.”

”No I haven't! I have planned everything I will kill her soon!”

”Hmm…for your sake I hope so or you know what I will do to your poor soul, human.”

Suddenly Gu Zhi could smell his flesh burning as he screamed out, ”Why? I told you I need time”

The woman watched him in silent and then began to fade away, with her last statement,

”Your punishment for wasting my time. The next time I come it will be worse.” She laughed.

”Remember our deal darling, a deal with a devil is no child's play, human. One week. You have only one week.” Then she disappeared leaving Gu Zhi to g.r.o.a.n.e.d and writhed in pain.

Gu Zhi has no idea how long his flesh burned. The last thing he remember is the sun set and his regret for making a deal with the devil.

But thinking about his sister and the promise he made her, his lips curved into a smile. It doesn't matter how much he suffers for the love of his sister he can withstand any pain and rain torment on her enemies. With this last thought he blacked out.
