Chapter 217 Xiao Bing, Master of Early Stage Elixir-Strength (1/2)
“I didn’t love him… I only loved myself…myself…”
This poisonous woman wailed while scratching her head. “That’s impossible. You’re lying. You must be lying. I shall kill you…”
“Kill me?” Xiao Bing sneered, “What else are you capable of except for killing? How many have you killed all these years? I’m sure you’ve already lost count. You killed the ones who loved you and even the ones who had nothing to do with you. When you felt betrayed, not only did you kill Liu Sheng and that woman’s whole family, you also brutally slaughtered everyone in the village where you once lived!”
“You know that your mother and father were in that village!”
The woman shouted insanely, “They both saw me as a monster and cast me aside. I was their daughter yet they chose to abandon me! I’m not the one who abandoned them first!”
Xiao Bing sighed and found this woman miserable and pathetic. “I sent someone to investigate your village. It was a remote and backward village where law often was not applied. Do you still believe that these villagers would let you go that easily if you poisoned someone to death? You could have been dead if your parents hadn’t exiled you.”
The woman gasped and seemed contrite, “Why… Why haven’t I thought any of these all these years…”
“Because you are just too stubborn, especially after you felt betrayed by your boyfriend. You think that the whole world failed you and is against you. You look at everything from a selfish perspective…”
“Maybe the poison inside your body is a curse. But the gods blessed you with parents and a boyfriend, who loved you very much. But you rejected them and ruined everything. You killed them all and thousands of innocent peoples. Countless families were torn apart by you all these years. And I can’t even imagine how many little girls have already lived a more miserable life because of you!”
Xiao Bing’s eyes seemed to penetrate this poisonous woman’s body and soul.
“Now, do you think that you’re still qualified to argue about hatred and injustice with me? What reason do you have to hate this world?”
Ten years ago, love was her life-support in this world, but in the last ten years, she lived with hatred. All of a sudden she found that the hatred she harbored was so ridiculous and absurd. What had held her together these years completely collapsed at this moment?
She slumped on the chair looking like she’s had a mental breakdown.
Xiao Bing felt pity for this woman. No matter what horrible things she had done, though she blamed it all on unfair fate, she was just another pathetic woman who lost her way while fighting destiny.
Xiao Bing sighed and asked, “Do you still want to kill us now?”
But the Femme Fatale was just sitting there staring at nothing. Zhan Hong Yan now felt it would be very easy for her and Dumbass to kill her. To say nothing of Xiao Bing, who was no less powerful than this woman? She took a step forward. As a killer, there was not much burden of morality.
But Xiao Bing grabbed her by the arm and shook his head. “She won’t be a threat anymore. Let her choose her way.”
Xiao Bing stood up and sighed. She may not be the first tragic yet hateful woman in the world, but she would not be the last either.
When Xiao Bing and his mates reached the door and were about to leave, they suddenly heard a tumbling sound. They all stopped and whirled around. The knife she was holding was now deep in her chest. She was lying on the ground with her face upturned, blood gushed out from the wound. But there was a happy smile on her face. “I owe it to them and I can only repay them on the other side. My parents and Liu Sheng… There were people who loved me in this world…”
The poisonous woman’s death weighed heavily on Xiao Bing heart, but somehow he felt relieved. He stared at her body and said, “She could have killed herself with her poison, but she chose a dagger. Maybe she thought that her poison had brought too many sins to this world and it was unforgivable. Anyway, we should be happy for her. Though she is dead now, but she was happy when she died. Her hatred disappeared and was replaced by love.”
Zhan Hongyan looked desolate. She sighed and said, “Brother Bing, though what was said is about her, I thought of myself…”
“Is that so?”
Zhan Hongyan smiled bitterly, “I also destroyed thousands of families when I was a killer.”
Looking at this girl, Xiao Bing shook his head and smiled, “It’s not the same. At least you know what love is and you won’t be manipulated by hatred. Anyone is capable of forsaking their darkness and coming back to the path of righteousness, which is something you have already achieved.”
“But what about her?”
