Chapter 593: She Was A Monster
Yes, that was the truth. She could not be human, yet she had no desire to be immortal. Even if she was doomed to be a demon, even if she would be banished to the land of annihilation forever, she wanted these two people to pay for what they did. They must be buried with the eyes she lost.
The prince stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs about to fall out. At this point, he was unable to do anything. He could not speak nor open his mouth, he could not shout for someone to come over. The sweat on his head fell off bead by bead. The hatred in his eyes was overflowing.
Xiao Bai was smiling instead. Her red eyes were almost demonic.
In a flash, she was standing in front of Ru Yin.
“Sister Ru Yin, why are you not talking to me when you’ve seen me now? I remember how much you doted on me before, so much so that you took away my eyes.”
Ru Yin’s eyes widened in fear and her body shook uncontrollably. Her delicate face was stained with dainty tears. However, despite her smeared makeup, that pair of eyes remained beautiful. It was the first time Xiao Bai realised how beautiful her eyes were. Those eyes were hers, she had to get them back.
“Sister Ru Yin, try to see more of this world. You won’t get to see it much longer.”
Ru Yin’s pupils shrank, she wanted to scream but she could not make any sound.
She kept her mouth opened. Ah, ah… Sounds were coming out from her throat.
“Monster, monster…”
These were the only words that came out of her mouth as she opened it.
“Yeah, I am a monster,” Xiao Bai caressed her hair gently, her red eyes hateful and bloodthirsty. Her body was emitting a special kind of scent, one that was a temptation to anyone who smelled it.
“Sister Ru Yin, do you know what will happen if you obtain a monster’s eyes?”
Ru Yin’s body started to shake violently, she started to feel the terror and helplessness creep up her spine. She kept shaking her head. She did not want to hear what the monster wanted to say, not even a single word.
“Do you want to know?” Xiao Bai came even closer. She stared into her own eyes and looked at her own reflection in those eyes. It was as if she was looking at her past self. Only now did she know how stupid she was, how extremely idiotic she used to be.
“Sister Ru Yin, my eyes and my blood is where my lifetime’s magical powers reside. I have been training for 700 years, 700 years of magical energy are all condensed here. You are just a commoner, do you think that you will be able to contain such pure energy that is nurtured from heaven and earth?”
“This energy will destroy any blessings of fortune that you have.”
“If you had not wanted these eyes, if you had not lusted for someone else’s eyes, you would have lived a blessed and peaceful life. Even if you were blind, you would have had many children and grandchildren. You would have lived to a ripe old age, up till the age of 102 years old.”
“But now, everything in front of you is what you get from exhausting your life.”
“You only have more than three years but less than four years left in your life, Sister Ru Yin. You have sacrificed so much to recover your sight for just a few days. Do you regret it?”
Ru Yin kept shaking her head, but there were only tears. No words were uttered.
Xiao Bai extended her hand and placed it on her eyes. Ru Yin’s body contorted violently. She was sore and in pain, yet she could not scream or yell. Nonetheless, one could clearly tell how much pain she felt by looking at her body muscles.
She had inflicted the pain of having one’s eyes dug out on someone else, yet now she was getting a taste of her own medicine.
Xiao Bai was only trying to take back what belonged to her. At this moment, inside that pair of red eyes was an extra touch of glazed lustre. Meanwhile, Ru Yin laid on the floor, her body still twitching intermittently.
Xiao Bai stalked to the prince’s side and bent down.
“Prince, you must remember the promise that you have made, that you would love Ru Yin forever,” she smiled, her red demonic eyes gleaming. She wanted to see how much was this man’s love worth.
She waved her hand and the prince’s eyes widened. He saw Ru Yin’s eyes being replaced with two black holes. He screamed, followed by his eyes rolling backwards and he fainted.
The air remained still for a moment. A man whose body was covered in blood walked in out of nowhere.
Xiao Bai turned around and her red demonic eyes were shrouded in mist.
“Xiao Bai, let’s go,” he offered his hand. Xiao Bai’s red eyes finally turned black, as pure as the ice found on a snowy mountain. She reached out and held the general’s hand tightly.
Then, their silhouettes began to fade. Someone must have heard the commotion and hurried over to the room. The door creaked open, followed by a piercing scream.
“Cut,” Director Jin shouted in relief.
Fantastic, they had finally reached the final point of filming. In fact, the filming could be considered essentially wrapped up. The main actors were free to leave now, only Zhou Zizhe’s part was left. Zhou Zizhe would be acting with a CGI-created white fox. Of course, Yan Huan, who was the real fox, could pack up her stuff and leave too.
However, she had opted to stay and choose the last few shots with the director since she was the producer.
She was not professional, she was just watching it from the audience’s point of view.
Once it was October, the old wives’ summer was still scorching the earth. There was little rain but a lot of sunshine this year. Most parts of the country were showing signs of a slight drought.
It was still fine in Sea City, for it had always had a rain spell. It was only during summer that the air was humid, but this could not be helped. After all, Sea City was partially a coastal city, and they were surrounded by a large river that led straight to the sea.
When Yan Huan first arrived at the Sea City, she could not tolerate its weather. It was very humid, so she stayed home most of the time and was reluctant to go out.
Ye Shuyun returned half a month earlier than her, so she seemed to be in better spirits and her complexion looked better. Of course she still felt uncomfortable, but she thought about it less now. Most importantly, she did not have to see Qin Xiaoyue’s family.
However in recent news, Su Muran and Lu Qin’s gossip had increased. They would create some news from time to time, stirring up the whole entertainment industry.
Yan Huan did not know how many fans they had gained, but judging by their development, they might have auspicious news to share in a few days. After all, one of them was a scumbag, and the other was a toxic girl.
They were a match made in heaven.
Not long after Yan Huan returned, she attended the prize ceremony of Golden Phoenix Awards. In fact Yan Huan was no longer as concerned about these awards. Perhaps she had matured.
However, it would be great if she could win one. If she could not get any, that just meant that she would have to put in more effort, and that she still had room for improvement.
