Chapter 195 – Cherry Dance, Flower Burial (2/2)

Thump, thump, thump… her rapid heartbeat was transmitted to her, and some surprise was shown in her emotionless eyes.

Nervousness?

Who are you kidding, she’s a killer! She has already taken numerous lives, and keeps calm any situation no matter how dangerous it is, so why is she suddenly nervous?

The reason the assassination skills she uses is number one is not only because of its strength, more important, it trained one’s state of mind and allowed them to become an emotionless killing machine, a perfect killer without fear and nervousness.

Such a state was called, Flower Burial.

Under such a state, there shouldn’t be a fluctuation in her state of mind, but at that moment, not only did she hesitate, she even had hallucinations.

“Why him?”

Shen DaiYing didn’t know why she suddenly remembered the scene of when Lin Xiao first confessed to her.

Was it really as Xiao Hua said, was that man special?

But, why?

She didn’t understand, Lin Xiao was no different that those other males that once chased after her, he was just as foolish and thought with the lower half of his body, only wanting her body, and she never accepted his feelings…

But why was her heart in such a mess?

“I’m willing to become your companion.”

Shen DaiYing suddenly lost her determination.

Why did she have to take a risk? Why did she have to kill Charles?

She was a graceful and charming princess, why did she have to do these kinds of things?

Even if she couldn’t accept Lin Xiao’s feelings, wouldn’t it be not bad just to go and get married to Caesar?

The happiness she wanted was right in front of her, why couldn’t she just extend her arms and grab it?

One step, two…

Shen DaiYing slowly retreated instinctively, but on the third step she couldn’t anymore.

Drip…

A teardrop landed next to her feet and quickly seeped into the ground, disappearing.

Shen DaiYing closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She couldn’t grab onto happiness even if it was right in front of her.

“Sister, wait for me…”

She silently prayed for that distant person and when Shen DaiYing opened her eyes once again, her eyes were replaced with that machine-like emptiness.

That was a perfect Flower Burial state, even if there were tears remaining in the corner of her eyes, she wouldn’t feel anymore.

“Yawn… Devoru, why don’t you go sleep for a while, I’ll call you next shift.”

“No, I want to take a look over there.”

An opportunity!

Watching Devoru go patrol on the other side, Shen DaiYing knew that this was her chance!

Shadow Blink!

She gently tapped off the ground and her figure disappeared, appearing right next to Charles. The pitiful little princess was hiding in her beautiful robe curled up not knowing the disaster that was coming to befall her.

“Shadow Kill, Heartbreaker”

Unlike the cherry dance, this time she gently pulled out Snow, without the pleasant sound or the splendid dance, only a dark red glint of her sword under the moonlight.

In an instant, she used the sword to slice open his throat then stabbed it straight into his heart. Her movements flowed like water and the blade sunk into his body, like it wasn’t even a person, just a slaughtered beast.

Up until the end, Charles couldn’t even scream.

“Is it over just like that…”

She sheathed her sword and finally let out a sigh of relief.

It seems like the Scarlet Fairy was just that, after all he was only human, so he would disappear after having his neck cut and heart pierced, That legend was just a lucky coincidence.

“Wait… what’s going on? … Why isn’t there any blood?

As she was preparing to leave, she noticed that Charles’ wound wasn’t bleeding! She bent down and investigated his body, after realizing the problem she instantly grabbed onto her sword.

“Don’t bother, it’s a fake.”

“What?”

She turned around and saw a human with short red hair.

That Scarlet Fairy was smiling at her.
