Chapter 110 The True Color of The Peony Fairy
There were two knife wounds to the bones on his back, and blood ran everywhere. His ribs were broken and he kept spitting blood. Even if he was a man of steel, he could not move a finger if he had not been dead. But he just said that he won. What else could he be except for a lunatic?
The Peony Fairy and others all laughed, except for Gao Fei and Yezi. Gao Fei was just quietly watching while Yezi was crying and trying to struggle out to help him.
At that moment, the Peony Fairy raised one foot and was about to stamp on Xiao Bing. Her trampling was powerful enough to crush him into pieces. However, the crowd suddenly heard a burst of deafening laughter and heavy steps coming after it. Dumbass dashing out of the hall and grinned while holding a spirit tablet in his hand, “I found it. This woman put this spirit tablet in her room and it took me quite a while to find her room. And the fragrance in it…”
The Peony Fairy turned around and saw Dumbass running out with Zhu Mingyu’s spirit tablet which was supposed to be in her room. Her eyes instantly changed and she screamed, “Give it to me!”
Xiao Bing pointed somewhere near him and shouted, “Dumbass, throw it there!”
Dumbass threw the spirit tablet out, which made the Peony Fairy had to withdraw to chase after the tablet. For her, the thing that belonged to Zhu Mingyu was more than anything else. The moment after she grabbed the tablet and descended on the ground, an arm pierced through her body. She saw Xiao Bing’s fist on her chest, which was covered by her own blood and flesh.
“Ugh…” The Peony Fairy opened her eyes wide and stared at the arm which pierced through her body. She barely could believe it, “Am I about to die?”
Xiao Bing’s body was at the edge of breaking down, but his strong will-power enabled him to remain standing. Panting, he withdrew the hand after he heard the fairy’s words. Her face seemed appalling when she looked at the big hole in her chest.
“I….. I’m going to die?”
Panting, Xiao Bing put both hands on his knees. He wiped out the sweat on his face with his arm and said while gasping, “Sorry… I used to be a soldier…”
The Peony Fairy managed to turn around and smiled bitterly, “How could a soldier be this devious?”
“All is fair in a battle…”
The Peony Fairly felt that his vitality was dying away rapidly. Apparently, there was a reservation in Xiao Bing’s last move. He didn’t aim at her heart; otherwise, she could have been dead, even if she had the most skilled healer in the world.
She managed to reach out his hands and said, “Help me… I need to go back to my room.”
Xiao Bing took a glimpse of Dumbass and said, “Help her get in.”
Dumbass nodded and went to help her. She was trying hard to make her breath not the last one, so that she was no threat to anyone at the moment.
Xiao Bing looked back at Yezi and grinned. Indeed, he was seriously injured and it was a miracle that he could even stand on his feet. And the word ‘miracle’ was even not enough for what he just did.
No one could imagine what supported to stand up, and he even gave the fairy a deadly strike.
There were serious wounds all over his body, and any one of them could be enlarged by a single breath. The pain was more than enough to make a normal person pass out. No one had expected that Xiao Bing could put up such a happy smile.
Of course, no one really cared much about it and Xiao Bing didn’t need them to as long as Yezi knew that smile of his.
Yezi definitely knew what it meant… To Xiao Bing, it didn’t matter how badly he was injured and how much pain he was going through. What mattered to him was that he was alive and together with Yezi.
Crying, Yezi dashed towards Xiao Bing. Gao Fei did not stop her, because he was right behind her.
Xiao Bing said, “Yezi, help me get inside. Gao Fei, please stay here and don’t let anyone in.”
“Okay.” Including the ones who woke up before, there were nearly 200 people standing in the yard and beside the door. But none of them dared to move. Gao Fei was supposed to be the one they feared most. However, it was Xiao Bing that really made them stand silently out of fear.
Even though Xiao Bing needed help to stand, no one dared to make any movement. It seemed that as long as this man was still breathing, they could be killed by him at any time.
With Yezi’s help, Xiao Bing walked into the hall step by step. Though he walked slowly, he could still feel the friction of his bones and wounds. The pain was no less than muscles being ripped. But he was still able to withstand it, because it was Yezi that was helping him walk. He was able to endure any pain whenever she was by his side or the light fragrance of hers was around.
Finally, following Dumbass, Xiao Bing walked into the fairy’s room under Yezi’s help.
Dumbass helped the Peony Fairy get in bed. She managed to sit on it and point at the table. Dumbass immediately knew what she meant and put the spirit tablet in where it used to be.
Xiao Bing sat on a chair with Yezi’s help and instantly started panting.
The Peony Fairy managed to put up a smile, “I had never expected that I would die by the hand of yours. But I won’t regret it… I will hate whoever killed me. But I could never hate you for killing me.”
Confused, Xiao Bing asked, “Why?”
“Because of Ye Xinyi.”
Xiao Bing instantly thought of something, “You’re with her?”
“Yes. We planned it together. You can ask her for details if you survive this. Now I’m dying, I don’t want to talk about it… Do you guys want to see the face under this veil?
Xiao Bing had not thought that this woman would ask this question when she was dying. Nearly no one in Jiang City had seen her face. Maybe Zhu Mingyu did. Maybe Master Hou did. But Xiao Bing never had seen it. His curiosity was spurred.
Ye Xinyi raised her hands and slowly took off the veil.
Xiao Bing was shocked, as well as Yezi and Dumbass.
Soon they understood why she always hid her face behind that veil. They had imagined that the Peony Fairy was a woman as beautiful as a goddess. They had also thought that actually she was an extremely ugly woman and she needed the veil to cover her face. However, based on her temperament, they chose to believe the former.
But they had never expected that she was disfigured.
The Peony Fairy had a beautiful jawline and her eyes were also beautiful. Her nose had an upward tilt and her lips were luscious. She was supposed to be the most beautiful woman on earth. However, there were knife scars all over her face, which made it seem horrific to others.
The Peony Fairy put up a sad smile, which made them get gooseflesh. “Are you scared? Now you know why the North Heaven Queen always hid herself behind that veil. It turns out that she is a very ugly woman.”
Xiao Bing’s head went blank for a moment, and he slightly sighed. His eyes were filled with sorrow, apathy, and pity. “You are not an ugly woman. You are just a wretched woman. Who did this to you?”
“Wretched? Haha… This is not the worst part…” Panting, the Peony Fairy continued, “That’s why I said that all men are jerks…”
“The man you loved?”
“My man.” Hatred seemed to overwhelm her eyes. She suddenly pointed at the wall near him and said to Dumbass, “Big silly boy, give this wall a push.”
“Okay.” Dumbass approached the wall and pushed it hard. The secret door on the wall was pushed open and it turned out that there was a hidden space in her room.
“Help… Help me get inside,” said the Peony Fairy.
With Dumbass and Yezi’s help, Xiao Bing and the fairy walked into this hidden room. The lights in it made the room bright as day and there were photographs hanging on the walls. The woman in the photos seemed to be just over 20, which was the age of youthfulness. Her unique beauty and temperament were no less than those of Ye Xinyi, the most beautiful woman in Jiang City. Dumbass could not help exclaiming, “The woman in the pictures is really beautiful.”
The Peony Fairy seemed to be caught up in emotions when she looked at these pictures. Xiao Bing cast her a glimpse and asked, “She is what you used to be, right?”
The Peony Fairy stopped looking at the pictures and said with bitterness, “Yes. But I can never go back…” She coughed and continued, “I’m about to die. And even if I could go back, what could I do…”
This woman definitely had a miserable story, because the fairy in these pictures was young, pretty, and energetic like a teenage girl.
However, now the Peony Fairy was disfigured, sly, and sullen.
Xiao Bing asked, “How did it happen?”
“Because of that shameless couple…” The Peony Fairy gnashed her teeth. “My father was a businessman and he was also a master of martial arts. To strengthen my body, He taught me how to fight since I was a little girl. And I learned quickly since I’m gifted in this. That ungrateful asshole was sold many times by traffickers since childhood. He was just 12 when my father saved him. The police couldn’t find his parents. My father pitied him and took him in as his pupil.”
While listening to the Peony Fairy, Xiao Bing was looking at the photos in the room. He fixed his eyes on one picture in which there were a man and a woman. The woman was the fairy who had not been disfigured. She smiled extremely happily in it.
The man in the picture was young, tall but thin. He had a handsome face which was very welcomed among women. But Xiao Bing felt uncomfortable by a single glimpse of him… According to his instincts, Xiao Bing could tell that this man was canny, ruthless, and vicious by nature, though he was very handsome. The instincts were developed during the years when Xiao Bing was in Dragon Teeth.
Xiao Bing pointed at the picture and asked, “This man is the…”
“He is that unfaithful man. That ungrateful, evil piece of shit.”
