94 I Am an Assassin, Not a Dog! (1/2)

[This guy has been hunted for quite a long time...] Ye Xiao thought, [His experience of being hunted is not as miserable as mine, but it is quite woeful already...]

He didn't know that Ning Biluo was being hunted because of him!

While panting, Ning Biluo dejectedly sat on the floor and asked, ”The House of Chaotic Storm. I wonder whether you are Wan of the Clouds or Xiu of the Heavens?”

Xiu-Er spoke blandly, ”I am Xiu-Er.”

”I see.” Ning Biluo smiled with self-mockery. He suddenly looked amused and said, ”To die in a demon's hand, at least it won't stain my honorable name in the world.”

Ye Xiao was surprised and thought, [Demon? What demon? What does he mean?]

Xiu-Er's voice turned cold, ”Ning Biluo, do you know you just offended me?”

Ning Biluo rolled his eyelids and said while panting, ”I know. Of course, I know... However, Lady Xiu-Er, even though you are powerful with all your hexes, you can only kill me once, right? You want to drag me back from hell and kill me again and again... Hey, hey, even if you are really a demon, I am afraid that's out of your capability. Right?”

While speaking, he actually laughed and said, ”I am unlucky to come across you while I am still carrying wounds. If I am fully recovered, I doubt that you can defeat me! Let's just say the gods didn't stand on my side!”

A figure in white fluttered. The slim figure of Xiu-Er appeared in Ye Xiao's sight. Even in the heavy rain, her clothes still looked clean and dry!

She spoke, ”There is no such thing as absolutely fair in the world. In the martial world, there is no such thing as justice either... Ning Biluo, you are an assassin. Killing is normal for you. When you took people's lives, did you give them a fair chance to defend themselves? Yet now you spoke those words. Don't you think that what you said has stained your name? A man demeans himself right before his death. How pathetic.”

Ning Biluo stayed silent for a while and then spoke hoarsely, ”You are right. I am hypocrite by saying that. Just end my life today. I won't complain anything about it.”

Xiu-Er laughed and then spoke indifferently, ”You know what. I don't want to kill you. What I want is to recruit you.”

Ning Biluo laughed and said, ”Recruit? In such a pleasant way?”

Xiu-Er spoke calmly, ”The House of the Chaotic Storm hasn't recruited any true member for many years... Now that we are showing you our appreciation, why are you still unsatisfied? Does it really matter what way we used to recruit you?”

Ning Biluo coughed for a while. He then panted out, ”What a pity... I don't want to be a demon.”

The coldness in Xiu-Er's eyes increased, and her eagerness to kill turned heavier.

Even though she was not looking at Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao felt a bit terrified at the moment...

”You have offended me over and over again. Ning Biluo, as a man like you, it is immoderate to offend a lady like that.” Her voice became peaceful again.

Ning Biluo was quiet.

”I want to know the true reason.” Xiu-Er spoke blandly, ”The House of the Chaotic Storm is world-shocking... All the superior cultivators want to be a member of it, except you. Why?”

Ning Biluo spoke after a long silence, ”I know that what you said is true. However... I am a self-governed man. I am always the one who gives the orders even though I am an assassin. Perhaps I have never been a good guy... However, I will never be a dog!”

He raised his head and spoke blandly and stoutly, ”I can be a bad guy, but I will never be a dog for others! Not even a dog for the king!”

Xiu-Er stayed silent for a while before she said, ”Good. Good. You are a tough guy. I have truly underestimated you.”

Ning Biluo was motivated and laughed. He spoke proudly, ”I am born with an unyielding character! I don't think I can ever change it in this life.”

”The House of the Chaotic Storm needs assassins this time. A man like you is someone I truly don't want to lose...” Xiu-Er sighed and said, ”The guy, Red in the Sky, has been missing since his last mission. Ning Biluo, I am giving you another chance here... You can still change your mind.”

Ning Biluo closed his eyes and mouth. He stayed silent.

His attitude was obvious, [Just kill me. I won't change my goddamn mind!]

Xiu-Er sighed in pity and had her last try, ”Fine. I won't force you. However... Ning Biluo, let me ask you another thing. If you can explain it clearly to me, and if your answer satisfies me, I will stop pushing you and give you a quick and nice death.”

Ning Biluo spoke with his eyes closed, ”Alright. Go ahead.”

”You say you don't want to serve anybody and only wished to fight for yourself alone. That is your personal conviction, right?” Xiu-Er asked, ”For your whole life, you only obeyed yourself, is that true?”
