Shifu’s eyes squinted slightly. His hand tightened around the whip.
“Oh, do you really think that I value this stupid disciple? You love to kill her, then kill her. You love to eat her, then eat her. I’ve come because I want to destroy you, an outrageous stone demon. You dare to calculate xiaoye, even if I scatter your soul, it wouldn’t be enough to pay me back.”
My mind is inexplicable at peace, but a cold overwhelmed me. It felt as if a snake was wrapped around me. I was at loss when Zihui smiled: “My power isn’t a match for the magical powers of a celestial star. If celestial star wants to kill me, then kill. I’m helpless. It’s just that I and a Xiang have married. My blood flows in her blood. She and I are connected with the same soul. Our life and death are connected with each other. If celestial star doesn’t care about this stupid disciple, then you can scatter my and her soul.”
“Married, soul connected….you….”
Shifu gritted his teeth. The hand holding the whip trembled a little.
I felt Zihui’s hand from behind. He grabbed my shoulder and sat down beside me. He said: “Celestial star, see, do you want to settle it today or do you want to see me and a Xiang’s soul cease to exist after a month? Never being reincarnated again. Will that lessen the resentment of celestial star?”
Shifu turned silent. His eyes were quietly cold, the color dark as the night. Suddenly, he waved and fiercely smacked Zihui’s face. And I felt an inexplicable pain. My face was burning with pain. My cheek became sticky with blood.
“This whip, celestial star didn’t use full force. If celestial start doesn’t believe me, you can kill me and test it,”Zihui said laughingly.
“I’m a clean stone demon and can’t do sinister things. No matter if it’s becoming my wife or giving me a heart, it must be done willingly. Because if even the slightest force is used, the effectiveness will be gone and it’ll cause great harm. The heart of a demigod can help me get back the power I had lost. I can change back to an immortal demon. A Xiang can also live on for a long time. To save or to kill is all in celestial star’s hand.”
I stared at shifu. My heart is bursting with horror. Suddenly shifu smiled and my breath stifled. I heard him say: “Very well, this way, xiaoye will settle it with you.”
Shifu pulled out a knife, like the one the cook used, a ten inch long knife. He stabbed the knife into his own chest. Shifu complexion turned white. Like he doesn’t feel pain, he guided the knife down his chest. I could hear the sound of flesh tearing apart.
I was so startled that I nearly went mad. The hand on my shoulder stiffened slightly. It seems like he also didn’t expect this.
Shifu said with a carefree voice: “Stone demon, do you think that xiaoye, I, fell into your trap?”
His wrist turned. His complexion whitened a little more, but his expression didn’t change. There were some sweats on his forehead.
“It’s only because your luck is good and happened to encounter xiaoye’s weak days. If you let me encounter you in the future…. I’ll let you feel that living is more painful than death.”
But future….what future?
My mind felt like an earthquake just happened. I struggled to shout out loud, but I couldn’t move even the slightest.
Shifu twisted the knife. Immediately his clothes soaked in blood. I can hear the beating of his heart lying in his body like the times I had nightmares and went to shifu’s bed. He will say: “I’m here; no one will dare to bully you.”
At that time I can hear his warm and calm voice, while I was lying in his arms. It cut all my uneasiness.
Shifu…..
Shifu turned around and bent a little. I hear a sound that couldn’t be smothered. Red splatter of blood dropped on the ground. Shifu tossed the red thing in his hand randomly, like tossing a worthless stone.
“Here…well, this is xiaoye’s reward for you.”
