Chapter 216 You Merely Love Yourself (1/2)
Liu Sheng was the eternal pain in her heart, the scourge of her hatred.
As long as this name existed in her memory, the resentment she held towards this world would never disappear. Instead, it would only grow stronger and stronger, until the world was destroyed or she was destroyed by this cruel world.
While Zhang Hongyan was driving the car, Dumbass was sitting beside Femme Fatale, not daring to move even one finger. There were few people on this earth, who could frighten Dumbass. And even if they were much stronger than him, Dumbass was not afraid of fighting with them. But this woman nearly killed him, without his knowledge. He did not even know what had happened to him, exactly at that moment, which was a feeling that made him feel very terrified.
Femme Fatale was silent, along the journey. Memories kept creeping into her head, and it was tearing but also healing the seams in her heart, which then turned dark and gloomy.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the yard of a house, at an isolated area, where there were no other houses or people.
The three got out of the car, and strode into the house. It was not until this time, that Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass felt relieved. Though they had made stunning recoveries, they still felt vulnerable, when standing beside this poisonous woman. They could only feel safe when they were with Xiao Bing, which was an important reason why they were willing to follow Xiao Bing.
It was quite a big yard and there was a bungalow with an open door, in it. Xiao Bing was not inside. Instead, he was sitting on a chair in front of the door, and staring at Femme Fatale, with his legs crossed.
There were still a few chairs in the yard. Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass stood behind Xiao Bing and the poisonous woman did not sit down, either. She walked up to Xiao Bing and asked, “What do you know about Liu Sheng? What are you going to tell me?”
Xiao Bing grinned and asked, “Why don’t you ask who I am, first?”
Xiao Bing was at the pinnacle of the Transforming Strength and, given his comprehension that was beyond Transforming-strength, he was not afraid of this woman, in terms of martial arts skills. He even believed it was highly possible for him to defeat a master at the pinnacle of Transforming Strength. He only feared this woman, who was born with lethal poison in her system. Poison was much more unpredictable than any martial arts.
Ever since Femme Fatale walked into the yard, Xiao Bing had not removed his eyes from her. Though he seemed placid and confident, he was vigilant about this woman’s every movement.
There were flickers of madness, cruelty, resentment and agony in Femme Fatale’s eyes. Xiao Bing even noticed that her heart was beating faster and faster. So he put on a more placid smile and said, “I’m Xiao Bing. I came from Jiang City…”
“I just want to find out what you know about Liu Sheng. I don’t care what your name is, or where you came from.” This woman was becoming imposing. The extreme resentment in her eyes, even startled Zhang Hongyan, who was a killer with a strong mentality.
Xiao Bing’s face became stern. “Okay. But I don’t like someone to talk so condescendingly to me, no matter if that someone is a man or a woman.”
Xiao Bing pointed at the chair on the opposite side, as he said this.
Femme Fatale walked over and sat on the chair. Ever since she had walked in to this yard, she had been led by the nose. But she was not aware of this She was merely eager to know what secrets Xiao Bing knew about Liu Sheng.
Though that man had long been dead, she was still emotionally moved, whenever his name was mentioned.
Femme Fatale gazed at Xiao Bing, her gaze like a serpent targeting its prey, after she sat down. If she found Xiao Bing to be a liar, she would definitely do her best to kill this man. As long as she could slay this man who dared to speak that name, it would not matter if she was dead or not.
“Speak.” She sounded like a vengeful ghost. Even though Xiao Bing was a powerful martial artist now, he would not dare to strike the first blow, the moment this woman stepped into this yard. If she was truly willing to put up a desperate fight, she could cause enormous damage, even if Xiao Bing could defeat her.
Xiao Bing seemed composed, as he rested his hands on the handles of the chair. His eyes seemingly, could see through everything. “Liu Mei, female, was born in the Liu Village. When she was nine, her parents had a quarrel with others. She was angry and released her poisons, which then caused all others to become unconscious. They were saved, but from then on, all the villagers considered you as a monster. You must be in such agony, then. But you didn’t know that only one in a billion is endowed with such poison skills. You were a prodigy in the art of using poison.”
“Speaking of which, if you had a master of poison to train you, you would have been far more powerful than this.”
Femme Fatale was surprised that Xiao Bing knew about her past. Right now, however, the only thing that she cared about was Liu Sheng, and anything that involved his name. She became impatient, “Why are you talking about this. If you can’t tell me things that I don’t know about Liu Sheng, then what’s the point of me sitting here? You are all Lord Long’s enemies. I can kill you all here and now, as the price for lying to me.”
Xiao Bing was still calm, as he watched this woman start to get fretful. “I need to tell these things, one by one. We have plenty of time. Take it easy,” Xiao Bing said, smilingly.
“Fine. But if you can’t tell me something that interests me, I will poison you all to death. Don’t ever think that you can get away from my poison, even if we are at the same stage. No one can survive the poison of a master at the pinnacle of Transforming Strength, as long as he is below the innate stage. The poison would still work, even if he has reached the Elixir-strength, and is below the Gang-strength Stage.”
