Chapter 239: A Black Face With An Even Darker Heart

This scene was truly shocking. It was just like when Feng Feiyun saw Young Noble Flawless back in the coffin. However, the young noble was still alive while Beiming Tang couldn’t be any deader.

Feng Feiyun’s stomach churned and he felt some acid in his throat.

The person’s eyes were gouged out completely. His tongue was severed while his eardrums had nails pierced through them. His nose was smashed and his heart was dug out as well; it was lying on the ground with blood and pus oozing from it. This brutal method of murder couldn’t be done by the average person.

He definitely suffered before death. Feng Feiyun could see that his muscles and veins were tense. This type of pain was even worse than being flayed alive.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me…” Nangong Hongyan was quivering and hiding in the corner. Her pure white dress was stained with blood. It was clear that when Beiming Tang was being tortured, she was standing to the side. The blood splashing on her body gave her quite a scare.

“Hongyan, Hongyan, it’s me, Feng Feiyun.” Feng Feiyun felt sorry as well. This was a visceral experience since he was infected by her emotions.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me…” She tightly closed her eyes while her long eyelashes trembled as she kept on shaking her head.

“I’m Feng Feiyun, who killed Beiming Tang?” He crouched down next to her and gently touched her shoulder in order to calm her down. Her soft body quivered as she wailed pitifully.

The tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes were like raindrops, accentuating her pitiful and weak appearance.

“Young Noble Feng, you are finally here. I’m so scared…” She opened her beautiful, watery eyes. Her fragile and soft body rushed into Feng Feiyun’s embrace, hugging him tightly just like someone drowning trying to grasp onto a life-saving straw.

“I’m scared… I was really afraid that he would kill me… That cruel monster, the way he kills… Wahh…” She hugged him tightly and buried her head into his strong chest, still trembling like before. Her words were incoherent due to the nightmarish experience. Her mind couldn’t erase the brutal images.

In both of his lives, this was the second time a girl took the initiative to jump into his arms. The first was Shui Yueting. Back then when she hugged him, he felt his heart beating for the first time and was at a loss.

Now, when Nangong Hongyan hugged him as well, his heart accelerated once more; he became lost again.

“I assure you, as long as I am here, no one in this world will dare to touch a single hair of yours or else they shall die.” Feng Feiyun hesitated for a moment before reaching out to gently embraced her with one hand placed on her head.

Nangong Hongyan’s tears could melt the toughest glacier in this world. Before her teary eyes, even the most ruthless butcher would drop his knife.

Even a man who hated women would change because of her.

“I’m still afraid, men normally just lie to fool women…” She nestled in his embrace just like a meet kitten. As time passed, she stopped crying while rubbing her extremely pretty face on his chest. Her hands that resembled beautiful jade lotuses held him tightly as she softly spoke: “Do you dare to swear?”

Her enchanting voice penetrated his heart. Her arms as warm and gentle as flowing spring water was about to melt Feng Feiyun.

A different sweet figure appeared in his mind, but it was only a momentary flash. He answered: “If you believe the vow of a man, I…”

“I believe you!” She rested on his strong chest with her eyes closed. She felt an unprecedented sense of security while indecipherably murmuring to herself in a daze.

Feng Feiyun had never been so lost before, he had never felt this before since he didn’t know what he was afraid of. He felt a looming crisis gradually approaching, the feeling of dread before an inevitable disaster. He couldn’t see it or grasp it, but it was a tangible feeling that instilled a primal fear in him.

Feng Feiyun said: “I swear, as long as I am here, no one in this world will dare to touch a single hair of yours or else they shall die.”

“I’ll remember!” She was still resting with her eyes closed and quietly snuggled against him. It seemed that she had fallen asleep and was merely sleep talking.

The body hanging on the carriage’s wall was still dripping blood. One could hear the trickling of water, yet the other corner was quiet and beautiful. The two of them hugged and could hear each other’s heartbeats and breaths. This feeling… was truly magical.

Eventually, she woke up but still nestled in his embrace and gently spoke: “It was the master who killed Beiming Tang. I saw him being murdered and his blood dyed my eyes. I thought that I would be murdered as well. He only glared at me… When I looked into his eyes, I became really scared… really scared…”

More clear and shiny tears ran down her cheeks as she recalled the events.

“That was my guess.” This cruel practice was the same that happened to Young Noble Flawless. No one could be this vicious except the mysterious master.

Suddenly, Feng Feiyun grimaced. His ears slightly twitched; he could hear the air moving outside. Although it was very weak, it couldn’t elude his hearing.
