Arc 3 Chapter 164: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (51)
"Where did you go?" Luo Liyan's voice was filled with fright as her small hand clenched Weichi Che's clothing at the chest, trembling slightly.
"I went to handle some official matters." Weichi Che replied, his tone trying to deflect the topic.
However Luo Liyan suddenly pushed him away, her eyes filled with anguish. "You're lying to me, aren't you? You have a strong scent of blood on you. Did you go to kill someone?"
It was a question but her tone left no doubt.
Weichi Che fell silent for a moment but eventually nodded. "Yanyan you don't need to worry about these things..."
"Don't need to worry?" Luo Liyan stepped back two steps looking at Weichi Che with scorn under the moonlight, making his handsome and elegant face even more captivating. "You've caused so many innocent deaths. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"What is retribution? I don't believe in it!" Weichi Che reached out, pulling Luo Liyan back into his embrace. "Besides, only by becoming strong can I have you, right?"
Confronted with the obstinate Weichi Che, Luo Liyan broke down in tears.
Tears, like crystal-clear pearls rolled down her cheeks.
Whether it was the 43 lives that would soon perish because of her or the distant and uncertain path back to her world, she felt a sense of despair.
Now she had to take desperate measures to change the situation.
"Why are you crying for those insignificant people?" Weichi Che's eyes were tainted with wild jealousy and his lips ice-cold under the moonlight pressed against Luo Liyan's cheek, gently kissing away her tears.
The bitter taste made his rationality slowly devoured by jealousy.
He clenched his hands tighter, causing Luo Liyan pain and she struggled to breathe.
"What, insignificant people?" Luo Liyan sneered coldly. "The encounters we have are all gifts from the heavens. If you have too much blood on your hands, we might not have a good ending. If that's the case, would you still think the blood on your hands belongs to insignificant people?"
"Is this your way of admitting that your sister was the one?" Weichi Che's eyes narrowed lifting his head to stare into Luo Liyan's eyes.
"Do you really care if I admit it or not? Is it important?" Luo Liyan raised an eyebrow and asked without denying it. "It doesn't matter whether I admit it or not. With or without it, as you kill more and more innocent people our bond will become thinner. Someday..."
"There won't be such a day!" Weichi Che didn't think twice and covered Luo Liyan's cherry-red lips with his own. His moist tongue was about to explore but she bit him hard.
"Neither of us is divine beings. Isn't this what Master Jingneng told you about karma and reincarnation?" Weichi Che looked at Luo Liyan with a sense of dread, even though he had always been skeptical of destiny.
If Luo Liyan had truly gone back to the past and their bond was a gift from heaven, then the unjust killings he committed would surely anger the heavens.
Thinking of Elder Physician Li's curse before he died, Weichi Che panicked and shouted, "Go stop them for me! I want Elder Physician Li's family to remain untouched."
"Yes, General!"
In the quiet night a crisp response sounded and quickly faded away leaving the entire garden in solitude.
Having achieved her goal, Luo Liyan finally let out a sigh of relief, her pent-up anger escaping her chest. She went limp and fell to the ground.
