Chapter 85 - Will you live that long enough? (1/2)
Most men on the ship are dozing quietly. Nobody has noticed the woman who walks silently as if she owns the darkness. The sharp wind plays with the strands of her hair. She looks down at the dark sea with her empty eyes. The moonlight isn't enough to take away the darkness of the sea.
”Are you in there?” She asks the wind with a cynical voice. ”If I jump, will you reappear?”
The dark sea doesn't answer her back. The moonlight seems to be repelled by her loneliness. A pleasant smile appears her lips. ”I am tired of waiting.”
A hand grabs the back of her collar and yanks her on the floor before she could jump. Lu Weixue glowers at her darkly. The woman is insane. She doesn't understand the value of life at all. Ironically, he finds himself furious enough to want to kill her.
The woman doesn't cry. She looks up at him with her same empty eyes. ”What do you want from me?”
By then, a few men are awakened because of the commotion. A man comes forward. ”What's going on here?”
”None of your business.” He grabs the back of her neck and pulls her along with him. He shoves her inside the cabin roughly and closes the door. Mo Wei doesn't make any sound. She silently watches him with a hint of annoyance.
”You asked what I want from you.” He walks closer to her. ”Then, I will tell you.”
She isn't intimated. ”Speak.”
”I looked for that damned treasure for a long time. I ended up with you. So...” He glares at her. ”You are going to be my slave. Your life doesn't belong to you from the moment I dug you out of the ground. Don't even think about killing yourself.”
She bursts into laughter and shakes her head. ”You are something.”
He doesn't know what to do. The woman is laughing, but the sound of her laughter feels like a thousand swords are falling all over his body.
”Mo Wei, I am telling you. Your life belongs to me. So...”
”So, you want me to be your slave.” She rolls her eyes. ”You are just a man who wants me to pay you for your bad choices. You couldn't find the treasure. Then, the woman would do. Is that the thought you got?”
”Yes,” He tells her without any shame, ignoring the taunt in her voice. She has no one. She doesn't want to live. There is no one to compensate him for saving her life. Then, she should give up to him. ”You will pay me for the rest of your life.”
She smiles at him coldly. ”Will you live that long enough?”
