When Beauty Meets Beasts

521 Kill Me

Huanhuan wanted to visit Sang Ye.

Xing Chen asked her if she was not going to the underground city.

“No, I have to go and see Sang Ye. If you don’t want to go with me, you can return to the Sea of Illusions first.”

With that, she ran toward Sang Ye’s residence without looking at Xing Chen.

Xing Chen watched her leave, his expression unpredictable.

Huanhuan successfully saw Sang Ye.

He was lying on the bed, his face pale. His long dark hair was spread out messily under him.

Huanhuan reached for his clothes. “Where are you hurt? Show me.”

Sang Ye pressed her hand down. “It’s just a small injury. It’s fine.”

“No, I have to see the wound with my own eyes to be at ease.” Huanhuan pushed his hand away and stubbornly pulled open his collar. She saw several bloody holes the size of fingers on his chest.

The bleeding had stopped, but the wound still looked shocking.

Huanhuan’s face turned pale. It hurt to look at such a deep wound.

Sang Ye pulled up his collar. “It’s okay. I’ve already applied medicine on it. I’ll be fine soon.”

Huanhuan stared at his face and asked, “Who injured you?”

Sang Ye was silent.

However, Huanhuan said, “Even if you don’t tell me, I’m guessing that the wounds on your body were caused by vines piercing you, right? The person who attacked you was Xing Chen, wasn’t it? Why did he attack you?”

Sang Ye still said nothing.

“Forget it. No matter what the reason is, it can’t erase the fact that he hurt someone.” Huanhuan lowered her head and kissed his forehead. “Rest well. I’ll settle the score with him.”

Sang Ye grabbed her wrist. “Forget it.”

He didn’t want Huanhuan to quarrel with Xing Chen over such a small matter. This was the territory of the demons. If they really fought, she would suffer.

“I can’t let it go. You’re my mate and my family. I’ll beat the crap out of anyone who dares to bully you!”

“It’s just a flesh wound. I’ll recover after resting for a while.”

“It’s just a flesh wound this time, but what about the next time?” Huanhuan gritted her teeth in anger. “Will he dare to take your life next time?!”

Sang Ye held her hand tightly. “I’ll try my best to become stronger. It won’t be that easy for him to kill me then.”

He paused and asked softly, “It’s rare for you to be here. Can you spend more time with me?”

Looking at his pale and thin appearance, Huanhuan’s heart ached.

She accompanied him for half a day and only returned to the Sea of Illusions alone after he fell asleep.

She landed on the island and saw Xing Chen sitting where he usually was, hugging the stone slab that was carved with the drawing.

Huanhuan strode over and questioned him angrily, “Did you cause Sang Ye’s injuries?”

Without looking up, Xing Chen asked, “So what if I did?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huanhuan pulled out her dragon spear and stabbed it at Xing Chen’s head!

Xing Chen easily blocked the attack with the half-drawn slab in front of him. The spearhead pierced the slab.

With a crack, the slab cracked in half.

The half-drawn portrait was destroyed.

Xing Chen threw away the slab and looked up at Huanhuan. “Do you want to avenge your old lover?”

“I’ll say it again. He’s not an old lover. He’s my mate!” Huanhuan raised the dragon spear and stabbed him again!

Xing Chen said as he dodged, “The mate contract between you two has been terminated.”

“So what? Even if the contract is terminated, we can make another contract!” Huanhuan swung the dragon spear, drawing a blue arc in the air. “We’ll always be a family. I won’t allow anyone to bully my family!”

Xing Chen grabbed the shaft. “If he’s your family, then what am I?”

“You’re the person I want to kill!” Huanhuan pushed forward hard, and the sharp spearhead pierced his left chest!

Blood spurted.

Xing Chen moved his bright red lips and smiled, his face looking extremely pale. “You’re finally telling the truth.”

Huanhuan didn’t move. Her knuckles were faintly white as she held the spear shaft.

“You’ve been searching everywhere in the Sea of Illusions these past few days to find my heart, right?” Xing Chen seemed to not notice the pain of his chest being stabbed, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat. “You knew?”

“The Demon Scroll was something I brought out of the abyss. I know better than anyone what’s on it. From the moment you took that scroll, I guessed your goal.”

Huanhuan pursed her lips. “But you didn’t say anything.”

“Why should I? It’s interesting to see you working like an idiot, isn’t it?”

The smile on his face was too dazzling, making Huanhuan’s heart turn cold.

The warmth and harmony of this period of time were all torn apart at this moment.

The ferocity of it all was revealed.

Huanhuan laughed at herself. “I’m indeed an idiot.”

Only a fool would be soft-hearted in the face of a demon.

Xing Chen held the spear shaft and took a step forward. The spearhead went deeper, and his already thin body was almost pierced by the dragon spear.

“Don’t you want to kill me? This is a good opportunity to kill me.”

Huanhuan involuntarily retreated. “Are you crazy? Let go!”

“Why are you backing away? Are you trying to escape from me? That’s impossible. I won’t give you another chance.”

He walked forward as he spoke.

With every step, the dragon spear went deeper. Blood stained his clothes and dripped down the spear.

The distance between them gradually shortened.

The young man’s thin body had been pierced by the dragon spear.

Huanhuan looked at the soul-stirring scene in front of her, and her voice couldn’t help but tremble. “What do you want?!”

“I want to grab you.” Xing Chen raised his other hand and grabbed her wrist. “I don’t want you to leave again.”

Huanhuan wanted to shake off his bloody hand.

But he was surprisingly strong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Ignoring the pain of his body being pierced by the dragon spear, Xing Chen took her hand and pressed it to the right side of his chest. He was still smiling like a crazy gambler who had staked everything. “I’ll give you a chance. My heart is here. You just have to dig it out and crush it to kill me completely.”

Huanhuan’s fingers were trembling. “Do you know what you’re saying?!”

“You hate me. You approached me to kill me. In that case, I’ll personally put my life in your hands. As long as you kill me, you won’t hate me anymore.”

Huanhuan couldn’t speak.

In her short life, she had never come into contact with anyone as crazy and paranoid as Xing Chen.

He was like a poppy flower born in the darkness. He bloomed as he pleased so that in the most beautiful moment, he could drag anyone who approached him into a far-reaching hell.

She had envisioned killing Xing Chen, but she definitely wouldn’t do it by digging out his heart.

She couldn’t do such a thing.

Huanhuan instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand.

But Xing Chen held her hand firmly, not letting her retreat. His amber eyes stared straight at her. “If you don’t kill me today, I’ll kill you.”
