Las bellezas de la dinastía Song

Capítulo 29

The sharp pain startled me greatly. I froze for a moment, my eyes reddened, and I suddenly felt like crying.

From childhood to adulthood, although I've never been afraid of danger and have always been a curious child, I've always been extremely well protected. When have I ever been threatened like this? When have I ever been injured?

I sniffed, stubbornly raised my chin, and forced back the tears.

"Who am I? Haha, that's ridiculous. You break into my house in the dead of night, and even try to interrogate me with a knife. Isn't that absurd? Who am I? I am naturally the owner of this place. Do you need to ask my name? Then shouldn't I also ask you why you came in the middle of the night? And who are you?" I glared at the darkness and said coldly.

Since Master couldn't know what happened when Darkness dominated his body, then the reverse should also be true. He certainly didn't know about my conversation with Master just now, nor did he know why he came here.

This is precisely why a killer who is always full of a sense of crisis suddenly felt a sense of panic and danger, as if he couldn't control himself. Therefore, he had to destroy everything that caused this situation, including—me.

The only thing I can do is pretend to know nothing, leave him confused, and perhaps that will give me a chance to escape.

His cold, desolate gaze fell upon my face, his expression unwavering. He simply stood there silently, his killing intent as dark as ink, thickly shrouding the room, yet without fluctuation or contraction.

I stubbornly held my head high, trying my best to maintain my confrontation with him.

"You're saying I came by myself?" He finally sheathed his knife, slowly straightened up, and asked in a deep voice.

"Otherwise what?" My cold tone was full of sarcasm: "Does Your Excellency think I have a habit of stealing people into my house in the middle of the night? Besides, when you came in, you were quite agile, so you must be very skilled in martial arts. Therefore, your judgment must be quite good. Can't you tell that I don't know martial arts?"

The cold gaze of the darkness swept across my face without a word.

Don't believe me? Hmph.

Looking at his scrutinizing gaze, I felt a burning rage within me. An involuntary, disdainful sneer crept across my face. "Hmph, twice now! The first time you almost strangled me to death, the second time I was injured for the first time in my life—all because of you! I swear, I, Lin Qingyan, will not rest until I avenge this!"

Dark Night's eyes suddenly darkened, probably angered by my attitude. With a wave of his hand, I uncontrollably fell towards him, automatically extending my neck into his grasp.

Breathing became difficult again.

I was no longer panicked, no longer struggling, and didn't even show a trace of fear. I just coldly looked at the darkness, a mocking smile playing on my lips.

It happened very quickly, in what felt like only a few seconds. The excruciating pain in my neck went numb, and I began to lose consciousness.

The scenery before me blurred and expanded. Yet I still desperately maintained my cold smile. Even if I die, I will never lose my spirit.

He seemed to see a strange and complex light flash in the darkness's eyes, and a gray, round shadow leap out from behind him.

"You—" He loosened his grip slightly and spoke.

Chapter 73 Revenge

only-

He only managed to utter one word before collapsing. The gray shadow moved with lightning speed, striking his head in the blink of an eye.

Losing my support, I collapsed softly to the ground, my face pressed against the cold floor, tears slowly streaming down my face. My eyes felt so sore and painful. Finally, I couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

A pair of icy hands touched my neck, trembled slightly, and then picked me up.

I cried so hard I could barely breathe.

My master sighed softly in my ear, and reached out with his sleeve to wipe away my tears.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault! ﹏﹏"

"Yes, it's all my fault. Be good, Xiao Yan'er, don't cry."

"Waaaaahh ...

I pounded on Dark Night's body with all my might. Then I grabbed Dark Night's hand and bit down hard. The taste of blood immediately filled my mouth, but I kept biting down and wouldn't let go until my cheeks ached terribly.

My master's face, which was usually only playful and cynical, was now gloomy. But his eyes, which were warm as the morning sun, looked at me. He glanced indifferently at my hand, which I had bitten until it was bloody, his expression as cold as ice.

I cried for a long time before I got tired and stopped.

After a long silence, nestled in my master's arms, I suddenly spoke in a muffled voice, "Master, I want revenge."

"Of course." The master's voice was also cold, carrying a hint of gloom.

"Master, tell me, how do we get revenge?" We can't just destroy Dark Night's body, can we? If that happens, Master will have nowhere to stay and will have to return to his own time and space. I'll have to go back with him, but what about my body... Hmm, that won't do. I can't abandon my body. I don't want to become a monster with Master. I shook my head. No, absolutely not.

“No need for that.” My master had once again broken the taboo of reading my thoughts. Just as I was about to get angry, his next words immediately shifted my focus: “Perhaps, all we need to do is find out his true identity.”

Uh, "their real identity?"

The master nodded. "You have no idea how well he concealed his other identity. His concealment was clearly one that even he himself didn't believe, which is why I've been trying to find him but haven't been able to."

I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

She immediately jumped up from her master's arms, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile, "Master, are you saying that his true identity is of utmost importance to him? As long as we find his true identity, we won't have to worry about not being able to take revenge on him, right?"

My master looked into my bright, shining eyes, scrutinized me from head to toe, and then suddenly gave a wicked smile, revealing dazzling white teeth: "What does Little Yan'er want to do?"

"I will uncover his true identity and expose it to the public."

Didn't you try so hard to hide it? Didn't you even distrust yourself enough to leak information? No matter what you're going to do, I'm going to expose your true identity and what you're desperately trying to hide, making you fail at the last minute and ruin everything.

snort-

I, Qingyan, will not rest until I avenge these two wrongs.

My master was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up as well. He looked at me with a grin: "Alright, let's join forces again, master and disciple. We must make sure this assassin has nowhere to stand and completely expose his identity!"

"Mmm." I nodded emphatically.

Otherwise, how can I quell the anger in my heart?
