Chapter 1210 - Beat Me to Death If You Have the Guts To! (1/2)

This was probably the greatest despair she had ever felt. It was as though someone had poured cold water over Feng Lingxue and drenched her from top to toe. She stared in shock straight at… Xuan Ying.

“Silver Mask King,” she called out, as she started to leave.

“Where are you going?” His magnetic voice sounded beside her ear. “Did I say you could leave?”

Feng Lingxue looked back. “Silver Mask King, do you need something from me?” She brushed him off coldly and continued forward, as though she didn’t even want to spend one second with him.

Xuan Ying’s black glassy eyes turned cold and dark. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her face, pulling her to face him. His lips curved into a smile as he said, “This is my territory. You’ve hurt someone in my territory, so shouldn’t I throw you in jail?”

Feng Lingxue’s long lashes quivered. She knew it would come to this. He hated her and wanted to humiliate her, to torment her. Alright then. Her heart no longer ached.

He could do his worst.

Xuan Ying reached out with his rough fingers to press on the phoenix flower on her face. As he rubbed it roughly, it erased the delicate flower on her face, revealing the ugly ‘slave’ character underneath.

He didn’t know why but he preferred seeing this.

The flower she drew on attracted too much attention.

“I see you’re still going around seducing men even after your face has been ruined. So this Young Master Zheng is another one smitten by you?”

His low voice was filled with sarcasm and coldness.

Feng Lingxue was hurting. The word carved on her skin chafed under his fingers and was already oozing blood. The blood and ink from her flower mixed together and smeared over half her face, making her look pitiful.

She didn’t understand how she had provoked him this time.

But she refused to scream out in pain and instead stood up straight and said, “In the Silver Mask King’s heart, am I not just a filthy slave?”

Xuan Ying’s lips pressed together as the aura around him darkened further.

The black-clad men and even Ah Zhou felt the change in the air and lowered their heads. The air around them was so oppressive it was hard for them to breathe.

“Feng Lingxue, I guess you’re feeling brave now, to talk back to me, huh? I guess you haven’t seen the full extent of what I can do!”

Feng Lingxue smirked and said, “Aren’t there only a few things you can do to me? Whip me, slap me, kick me, humiliate me, give me to another man? I’ve already experienced all of this. Oh, that’s right, there’s only one more thing you haven’t done to me… send me to the army barracks to be a prostitute.

“You should know that I’m not afraid of pain. I haven’t given in to you. I just… still love you. I love you, which is why I put up with the pain and continue to stay by your side. I love you and I know I owe you, which is why I deserve all the humiliation you’ve brought onto me. I love you, which is why I’ve given up all my dignity and lowered myself to the ground.”

Xuan Ying froze. She said… she loved him?

Love?

Her love?

Xuan Ying’s lips curved upwards, his deep voice turning hoarse and his tone was sarcastic and cold. “You really are full of lies. “You think I’ll believe you? You’re playing the same tricks again. Don’t ever say you love me again. To me, you’re just a clown putting on a clumsy performance and I’m sick of watching it!”

Of course, she knew he wouldn’t believe her. No matter what she said, he would think that it was a lie.

He was sick of it.

And she was tired.

All those years of feelings were finally at a dead end.

“Alright, I’ll stop saying it in the future then.” Feng Lingxue nodded. “Brother Ying is already dead. You’re the Silver Mask King now and have wealth and status. How would I dare compete with the innocent Miss Shi? What am I? I’m not worthy enough to love you, so I’ll stop.”

Hearing her blunt words, Xuan Ying felt as though his heart was being squeezed harshly. He felt like it was a joke when she said she loved him.

But at the same time, he couldn’t stand it when she said she didn’t love him anymore.

She said she no longer loved him…
