Underneath A Thousand Skies ✔️

124 Xiang Feng, The Scarred King (2)

"Jia, why won't you come to me? Touch me, if you touch me, I'm sure I won't feel dirty anymore."

However, the girl only continued to smile, and did nothing else.

Xiang Feng became silent. After a while, he continued to take his bath, but he could feel her eyes on him. The heat that was absent while he was making love to his queen earlier suddenly filled his body, and the young king trembled. He groaned in a low voice, calling her name.

"Jia...."

"Jia...touch me..."

The girl that was made of air still did not move, but she continued staring at him.

"Is it because you think I'm dirty that you don't want to touch me?"

Xiang Feng's eyes turned dull, like black gemstones, devoid of life.

"Jia, I want to die and follow you, can I?"

The girl only continued smiling.

Xiang Feng burrowed his face into his hands, shoulders shaking, and for a long while, his voice was not heard. Then he abruptly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, and strode out of the hot spring. He picked up a small dagger that was left by the maidservants to cut the fruits, and aimed it as his face. In one quick slash, a long cut opened up on his cheek, dripping blood.

Xiang Feng's black irises swirled with red.

"Jia, if I'm ugly to the point that she wouldn't want to touch me, you can't blame me for not fulfilling the promise, right? She's the one at fault, not me."

While he was speaking, he cut another long slash on his right cheek. His heart pounded with excitement, as the more blood spilled from his veins, the more he felt closer to where Song Jia was.

If only he could kill himself, that would be great...

The queen finally woke up in her chambers. Seeing that Xiang Feng was not beside her, she frowned.

"Where's Feng?" Her voice was soft and sweet as she asked the maidservant waiting outside the doors.

The maidservant carefully lowered her eyes to the floor. "Answering the queen, His Majesty left to take a bath in the hot spring."

The queen's forehead creased. "How long has he been there?"

"It's already been half an hour, Her Majesty."

The queen frowned. Wanting to check on him, she followed the maidservant to the hot spring. Because the hot spring was only reserved for the royal couple, the maidservant stayed outside.

The queen entered alone, feeling uneasy for some reason.

When she pushed open the beaded curtains and saw the tall figure standing in the middle of the room, her mouth reflexively opened to call his name.

However, a terrified scream escaped instead.

"Ahhh!"

She collapsed to the ground, her legs shaking, her eyes wide and horrified. She turned her head to the side and vomited. The sight was so repulsive that she could no longer bear to look at him.

"Feng...Feng, what..."

Xiang Feng turned around, and seeing that it was only her, he quickly lost interest and continued sharpening the knife against his flesh. His whole body was covered with blood, and from head to toe, there was not a single piece of skin that was left unscathed. His eyes red, he continued mutilating his own body, only wanting to see more blood...

As he was doing this, his gaze was filled with excitement, obsession, and a desire to destroy anything and everything.

Xiang Feng's breath quickened, and when he closed his eyes, he could pretend that his hands were hers, exploring his body, touching him.
