Chapter 118 - Enough Hatred (1/2)
”What do you mean?” Xue'er's head turned to the side and her gaze lingered on him for a while. Then she thought about it for a while and said ”In this world where people treat each other as a means to an end. Who can say who is a monster, and who is not.”
The man smiled. The slight movement seemed to have caused him pain, and the smile soon quickly faded.
”You should have taken care of your creations better, or you would not have ended up in this state. Yet with all your skill in calculation, you have strangely overlooked one inevitable result of your great experiment. I thought you would be more cautious than this” She said, brushing the strands of gray hair away from his face with a gentle demeanor.
”It was but a mistake that it took one filthy creature to put me in this state. If there was another chance, I would be even more ruthless so that this would not happen again.”
Hearing this, Xue'er's eyes darken, retracting her hand away from him. There were few things that could stir up anger in her, and this was a rare moment. ”It's a pity that in this world there's no such thing as the word 'if', if there were, everyone would not be making any mistakes and it would be such a boring world we live in.”
She looked towards the table filled with concoctions and an idea sprang up in her mind.
She walked towards the tables that were once overflowing with herbs. With a mocking smile, she asked: ”Do you know why you have failed so many times?”
The man did not answer. It was a given that he did not know, or the failure would not have gone on to this day. Yet he still remained perfectly calm as though not the slightest ripple could disturb his mind.
”I've looked at the concoctions you made, and the notes you have written down, yet I've found that there was something missing.” Xue'er paused as she spoke. Her fingers running along the wooden table that was shielded from sunlight. Upon the table were some leave fragments that she had not collected, either because they were too small, or had already crumbled to the size of dust.
”What are you talking about?” The man asked, there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
”I said I know why every single being that you made is like a mindless beast that you have to keep chained up in this wretched place.”
”IMPOSSIBLE! How could the likes of you know?” The man's voice grew louder, yet it also became hoarser due to the fact that he had not had any sustenance for the past few days.
