Chapter 111 - The Peony Wilted
Chapter 111 The Peony Wilted
The Peony Fairy was still panting, and every breath she drew seemed to be her last. Her face paled, and it seemed that she was about to die at any time.
She managed to speak with hatred in her voice, “That ungrateful man was called Geng Yu. We grew up together after father took him in, and my father intended to get us married… I must be blind back then. That’s the only reason that can explain why I fell in love with him. He pretended to love me and he was so gentle to me. Then we got married. He took over my family’s property when my parents died. He was kind to me at first, but soon he was addicted to that skank.”
“That whore was from S city and she was really powerful there. She came here to have fun and met Geng Yun in a night club. Soon they slept together. Geng Yun wanted a divorce but I didn’t agree. So he started laying his hands on me. I could have beat him if I weren’t pregnant.”
Yezi was afire with anger upon hearing this, “What a monster.”
“There are more… It turned out that he never cared about me, his wife. Because I was not willing to divorce, he listened to that wicked women and deceived me into going into a mountain in the suburb. He beat me black and blue in front of that vicious woman, who then ripped out my eyes, destroyed my face with a knife, and left me to die in the woods.”
What the fairy just said made the three’s flesh crawl. Even though Xiao Bing had seen so many people, he never knew that a man could be this ungrateful and a woman this vicious.
“What is she called?” asked Xiao Bing.
“Bi Yaoting.”
A beam of surprise flashed in Yezi’s eyes, but soon it disappeared.
“You were on a mountain and badly injured with your eyes ripped out. It’s nearly impossible for you to survive.”
“My father had two pupils. One is Geng Yun, and the other is Zhu Mingyu…”
“Zhu Mingyu was your father’s pupil.”
“Yes. I knew he loved me since he was just a boy. He was an orphan, just as Geng Yun. But my heart was occupied by Geng Yun back then. I could only pretend that I didn’t know. Maybe that day he felt that there was something wrong with my emotion, so he kept an eye on me. He followed me the day when I was in the mountains. But he was a little bit late. I had already lost my eyes and beauty when he was there. He didn’t dare to come out since he was no match for Geng Yun.”
When thinking that Zhu Mingyu was a blind man, Xiao Bing spoke with surprise, “So Zhu Mingyu’s eyes…”
“He gave them to me.”
In this story, Xiao Bing felt the viciousness of men but he also was touched by their undying love. Zhu Mingyu was willing to lose his eyes for the woman he loved, which was enough to prove the great love he had for her.
Still panting, the Peony Fairy seemed to be on the edge of death. Dumbass came to her but she suggested him to stop by waving her hand. “If you met Geng Yun one day, tell him that although I wanted to seek revenge from him, I never got the chance. But I’ll haunt these two scums forever after I die. And my real name… is… Peony.”
“I’m sorry… Mingyu. Please bury me beside him.”
The Peony Fairy died. She died with her eyes open, but with relief as well.
She was relieved that it was a faithful man who killed her. Xiao Bing used all kinds of schemes to kill her but she did not despise it.
What she regretted was that she didn’t get the chance to revenge.
Xiao Bing sighed. Dumbass and Yezi helped him stand and said, “We should take you to the hospital.”
“Okay.”
“What about the men outside?” Yezi asked.
“They will find there is no reason for them to risk their life since their leader is gone. We should spare them. Things will become complicated if the situation gets worse.”
Grinning, Yezi said, “You are making senses. I’m afraid that you will get impulsive.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not a butcher. In fact, the only thing slaughter brings is fear. A true king can defeat an army without sparing blood.”
Xiao Bing left the Heaven Palace with Yezi and Dumbass’s help. And Xiao Bing decided to send someone to deal with the Peony Fairy’s body. Actually, he could just leave it to Master Hou. As for Zhu Mingyu, Xiao Bing decided to bury him together with the Peony Fairy.
Gao Fei did not raise any abjection to Xiao Bing decision that he let go of the men outside. They decided to leave Northern Manor by taking a car. Suddenly out from a corner dashed a black car, which was coming towards Xiao Bing as fast as lightning. Dumbass instantly came before him like a tank. “Bang!” The man and the car bumped into each other.
Dumbass hurtled forward and the car the turned upside down by the force. Dumbass stood up the moment after he fell on the ground. He patted off the dust and muttered curses, “Damn, that really hurts.”
A streak of blood ran out from the corner of his mouth. Apparently, he was internally injured.
Xiao Bing’s eyes turned sharp and spoke in a cold voice, “Bring the person in the car to me and ask who sent him.”
The driver had already managed to climb out. Dumbass rushed towards him and shouted, “Who gave you the order?”
“No… No one gave me any order.”
“You shall live if you confess, otherwise you’ll die here and now. Which is more important? Loyalty or your own life?”
It was a thin man who seemed to be over thirty. He shivered upon hearing Xiao Bing’s words and said in a trembling voice, “It’s Ye… Ye Xinyi.”
Yezi trembled while her face paled. “You’re lying,” shouted Yezi.
“I’m not lying… Big Missy said that she has offended Brother Bing and he shares a good relationship with the young master. So she asked me…”
Xiao Bing took a deep breath and suddenly a flying bullet piercing through the head of that man. It did not take long before he died.
Dumbass threw his body on the ground and was about dash into the woods. “It’s dangerous in the woods. Don’t go into it,” said Xiao Bing in a deep voice.
Xiao Bing felt extremely complicated after seeing what happened. But he was seriously injured and there was no time for him to think of it. He took a glance at the car and said, “We can go to the hospital with this car.”
Dumbass flipped the car over and it was lucky for them that there were just some cracks in the window. Gao Fei drove the car after they went in. Xiao Bing was sent to first aid the moment they arrived at the hospital.
Xiao Bing’s wounds were very serious and it was his strong spirit that supported him to stay conscious. He passed out the moment they arrived at the hospital. After three hours’ operation, Xiao Bing was pulled back from the jaws of death. He was wrapped up like a mummy when he was wheeled out from the operation room.
Xiao Bing opened his eyes and thought how short it was after he was in the hospital last time. The one-time captain of Dragon Gate was nearly beaten to death twice in such a short time and such a small city. Even Xiao Bing found it ridiculous and incredible.
Xiao Bing truly felt the importance of strength. If his power were not suppressed, he could have killed anyone standing in his way without getting any wounds.
But it was also convenient for him to hide. His enemies and the possible traitors in Dragon Gate could never have thought that this torn-up man was Xiao Bing, a man who made his name with countless victories.
Su Xiaoxiao had come to the hospital when Xiao Bing was wheeled out. She immediately went here after she got the call from Xiao Bing. She was praying with Yezi when Xiao Bing was in the operation room.
Xiao Bing opened his mouth and grinned, “Don’t worry, I have a strong body. I was unstoppable. How I wish that you could be there!”
Upon seeing that Xiao Bing still could jest while his body was still weak, the others who cared about him were all relieved.
The nurse this time was the pretty one Xiao Bing met before. He remembered this pretty nurse only took care of him for one day and she called in sick.
Seemingly angry, the young nurse looked at Xiao Bing, “Why you are always looking for trouble? I just don’t understand why you guys love fighting so much.”
“Maybe I can use a mentor to reset me on the right track.”
The young nurse glanced at him, “I’m just a nurse, not some kind of a mentor… And, one person is enough to take care of him. I should go now. Ring the bell on the bedside if you need me. I will come immediately.”
Seeing that Xiao Bing’s eyes were almost stick on the nurse, Dumbass cleared his throat and grinned, “Brother Bing, were you peeping through that uniform?”
Yezi instantly cast Xiao Bing a glance and smirked like she was up to something, “Brother, you barely could take your eyes off from that uniform. I assume you have recovered already. Why not let me see if your wounds still hurt?”
“Please… Please stop. It really hurts. Please don’t pinch me!!”
Yezi snorted, “That’s the price for being a lecher. Xiaoxiao, you can go home and rest. I can stay here and watch over him until you come tomorrow.”
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated and had to say yes after she recalled that Yezi was his girlfriend. She told Yezi to take good care of him before she left. Dumbass and Gao Fei stayed and guarded the door.
