Chapter 65 Dead (2/2)

Zhu Liya's eyes turned red. She dashed toward him, trying to punch him in the chest, but Xiao Bing grabbed her hands and threw her to the floor. Astonished, Zhu Liya slowly stood up and said in a trembling voice, ”Are you out of your mind?”

Xiao Bing's eyes were filled with apathy, which was something Zhu Liya had never expected from Xiao Bing. Fear rose from her feet and spread all over her body.

”You've never been married to Zhang Gui. He was not your husband at all. You hired him to put on a show with you. 200,000. What a price you have paid!”

Though Zhang Gui didn't say anything while he was dying, Xiao Bing believed that people like him would never be faithless even when it came to death, so the story of Zhang Gui and Zhu Liya was totally artificial.

As he expected, Zhu Liya's face changed, but soon she regained her composure. She sat down on the sofa in front of him and asked, ”You already know it all?”

”Yes. I saw him before he died and I know there was a woman he truly loved,” sighed Xiao Bing. ”That woman was just a whore, but their love was pure. I even found Zhang Gui to be a great man at that moment. Zhu Liya, you sent this couple to grave just for your evil purposes. Don't you feel guilty?”

”I didn't kill him.” Zhu Liya's eyes dimmed a little. ”But I don't feel any sadness or guilt. He was just one of my tools.”

”If you didn't send these men, then it must be the person behind you. Zhu Liya, I wished I was wrong before I came here, but I was disillusioned when I saw those pinhole cameras in your house... You think I would fall into your trap?”

Terrified, Zhu Liya looked at Xiao Bing. There was only one word in her mind at that moment: Devil!

Xiao Bing stood up and smiled at the upper corner of the wall. He pointed his index finger of his right hand at a well-hidden pinhole camera.

In a room of the Heavenly King Hall, Peony Fairy, the North Heaven Queen, was watching with Zhu Mingyu standing beside her. Zhu Mingyu's face changed when Xiao Bing pointed at the camera. He could even feel Xiao Bing's thirst for blood without opening his eyes.

One could not clearly see the expression on the Peony Fairy's face because of the veil, but her pupils contracted instantly. There was surprise and anger in her eyes.

Grinning apathetically, Xiao Bing pointed at the camera and said in a dominating tone, ”No matter who you are, you have successfully provoked me. Now let me tell you this... I will kill you. Some people have died because of me and I'll pay for their deaths with yours!”

Then Xiao Bing flickered his finger and a steel ball flew from his hand. The steel ball hit the camera and crushed it, making the monitor in the Heavenly King Hall pitch black.

The Peony Fairy slapped the handle of the chair, which broke instantly. Her chest was heaving and her voice was overwhelmed with anger. ”He... he dared to threaten me. I want him dead!”

After the camera was destroyed, Xiao Bing slowly got back to his chair. He looked at Zhu Liya with composure and asked, ”Tell me who's behind all of this and why didn't you decide kill me the last time I was here.”

There was no need for Zhu Liya to lie since Xiao Bing had seen through it all. She could tell from his eyes that this man could never be tempted by a woman's beauty, which meant that her greatest weapon was useless and she would definitely die.

Zhu Liya restored her composure after she realized this. Facing Xiao Bing, Zhu Liya spoke in a peaceful voice, ”Because I needed to abate your vigilance to make sure the success of what was coming next. More importantly, my master wants to see you fall. She wants to prove that you are a licentious man, but she was disappointed... So she asked me to kill you this time.”

Xiao Bing sneered, ”She wanted to see it?”

”Yes... that's what the camera was for, but I didn't think it would become the second flaw in the plan.”

Xiao Bing sighed, ”Alright. Tell me, who is your master.”

”I can't say,” said Zhu Liya while looking at him, ”You can kill me, but you will never get an answer. I owe my master a lot.”

”I got it.” Xiao Bing gradually stood up and suddenly snapped his fingers. ”Why does the North Heaven Queen want me dead?”

Zhu Liya instantly blurted, ”She's not my master. Xie Lun asked her to...”

Zhu Liya's face turned white after speaking. Xiao Bing sneered and nodded, ”So Xie Lun asked the North Heaven Queen to let you seduce and kill me. They really enjoy risking their necks, huh?”

Xiao Bing stepped toward the door after he finished speaking. Zhu Liya suddenly shouted, ”Why didn't you kill me?”

”I don't want to kill you because you're just another poor woman who has been manipulated by destiny... and I've seen enough blood today.”

Then Xiao Bing walked to the door, put on his shoes, and left, leaving Zhu Liya alone in her living room.

Zhu Liya staggered to the sofa on which Xiao Bing just sat and grabbed the tea cup that was for Xiao Bing. She drank it all. She then laughed and cried while her body shook. Soon she felt pain and her face turned green as black blood began to run from her nose, mouth, and ears...
