I've Become the Demoness

Chapter 40-What Goes Around Comes Around

"Senior Wang?!" Ren Wuji cried. He laid Song Yi Yan down on the ground then charged at the demon Wang Yue. He didn't even get the chance to pull out his sword. Wang Yue easily captured Ren Wuji with his hands. With one hand on Ren Wuji's head, he forced Ren Wuji's head in an impossible direction until a disgusting crack sounded. There was a look of sheer horror frozen on Ren Wuji's face just seconds before his death. Wang Yue peered down at the smooth pale neck in front of him and suddenly leaned in. He chomped down on the neck in one fluid motion. Blood spurt forth staining his face and the front of his all ready dirty robes.

With Wang Yue's attention diverted to Ren Wuji's dead body, Xiu Xiang decided to run the hell out of there, however, her actions had disturbed Wang Yue's feeding. He looked up from the bloody neck, his bloody eyes fell on Xiu Xiang.

As if he suddenly remembered why he was there, he tossed the corpse aside.

"Xiu Xiang!" he roared.

Xiu Xiang had the sense to smack him in the head. Was that all that he knew to say now that he was a demon? She wished he could say the reason why he was chasing her.

He easily jumped in front of her, blocking her from escaping.

"Xiu Xiang!" His bloody hand reached out for her. She dodged his hand and darted for the edge of the cliff. If she had to die, she rather jump off the Cliff of Abyss a second time instead of being eaten by Wang Yue. She was only inches away from jumping when a bloody pair of arms wrapped tightly around her. Wang Yue's claws dug into her skin, piercing her skin. Blood seeped from where his claws were. The next thing she knew, she felt a sharp pain on her left shoulder.

Wang Yue had bitten into her shoulder.

For a moment, she thought he was drinking her blood. It was only when she felt her spiritual energy quickly draining did she realize that he was after the dense energy inside of her.

She dropped to her knees as her legs could no longer sustain her weight. Wang Yue held tightly onto her even after she had tumbled to the ground. Her eyelids felt heavy. Her life was rapidly leaving.

Not once did she beg for someone to save her until now. She pleaded for anyone or anything to save her.

Her life was hanging by a thread and the first person she thought of was Wei Xing.

"Wei Xing..." she choked. Blood seeped from her lips as she struggled to say his name one last time. As soon as his name spilled from her lips, she felt the heavy weight of Wang Yue lifted off her. She struggled to turn her head to see what had happened. Her vision had blurred from the lack of blood and spiritual energy. All she saw was a man dressed in black. She heard Wang Yue let out a horrible scream then felt warm blood rain down all around her.

Was it an enemy? She lost most of spiritual energy and blood. She could barely keep her eyes open as she watched the person drew closer toward her.

"Damn woman. You made me search for you for a long time."

That voice... why does it sound just like Wei Xing...?

She attempted to raise her hand to reach out to him.

"Wei... Xing..."

A harsh hand yanked her by the front of her shirt, pulling her up to her feet. If she was going to die, she needed to at least apologize for what she had turn him into.

Wei Xing frowned at the woman in front of him. She seemed to have lost a lot of spiritual energy and blood. The only thing keeping her from dying was sheer will. It didn't matter to him if she died. Even so, he needed her to stay alive just a bit longer. Once he dug his lover's body out from under the ice and erected the forbidden array, he'll kill her and revive his lover. He bit his finger and lifted his bloody finger to her lips. Right before his drop of blood fell into her mouth, he heard her whisper, "I'm sorry..."

He never took a good look at the woman before him until now. Her eyes were barely opened. Tears streamed from it and a strange sense of familiarity hit him. The way she looked at him reminded him of Xiu Xiang's last breath in the Cave of Inheritance. For a moment, he even thought that the woman in front of him was Xiu Xiang.

It's probably because her aura is similar to Xiu Xiang's...

He pushed the uncomfortable feeling into the deepest part of his mind and forced a few drops of his blood into her mouth. As soon as it dropped into her mouth, he felt her life force was finally sustained. By then, she had already fainted.

Sighing, he threw her over his shoulder like she was a bag of vegetables and disappeared on the spot. If he had stayed there a second longer, he would have seen a dark shadowy substance emerge from Wang Yue's dead body. It lingered in the air for a moment and then floated over to where Song Yi Yan was. The dark shadowy substance hovered over Song Yi Yan and then disappeared into her body. The moment it disappeared, that was when Tian Ling Sect disciples emerged from the forest to see the horror show in front of them...

In the main hall of the Night Palace, Hua Jian and Bai Qing were waiting listlessly for Wei Xing. He told them that he would be back by dawn to which they faithfully waited in the main hall. It was already late into the night however Wei Xing was nowhere to be seen.

"Wei Xing has never gone back on his words before. Something must've happened to him! I'm going to go search for him!" Bai Qing darted for the large double doors. No sooner had she reached the doors, it opened. Standing behind the double doors was Wei Xing with a person dangling over his shoulder.

"My lord!" Bai Qing exclaimed. A bright smile erupted on her face. She reached out to grab his sleeve only to have Wei Xing brush her off. He walked straight to Hua Jian and tossed the woman to his feet.

When Hua Jian saw how Xiu Xiang was treated by Wei Xing, he couldn't help but glare angrily at him. Did he seriously not see that the woman he tossed like a bag of rice was the woman he loved? He couldn't help but sneer at him.

"It seems your love only amounts to this," Hua Jian thought. Without saying anything to Wei Xing, he gently pulled Xiu Xiang into his arms.

"She was barely alive when I got to her. My blood seemed to have sustained her life force so she won't die for the time being," Wei Xing explained.

HuaJian let out a sigh of relief when he heard his explanation. There was hope forthe Demon Realm after all. His lord has finally returned. He didn't bother tolinger in the main hall.
