Song Cao barges through the door wielding a 7 inch blade dagger on her right and her face is covered with a black mask. Her eyes bulge out seeing that Hito Gaoy staring at her looking like he's in no danger
With a neutral face, I melancholy say
So, you've come
She clutches her daggers and wanting to end this fast she sprawls like tiger and leaps towards me
My body is crying in pain, It hasn't healed yet, but I need her for my plan and she gave me the perfect opportunity.
I maneuver my body and feel the blade piercing my torso. I tense my abs, so she is not capable of taking the blade out.
With a swift motion, I enclose her neck with my hands and tighten the grip so she isn't able to free herself. My body is begging me to stop.
She squirms and puts her hands on my arm to try and pry my hand away from her neck.
She gasps for air and says
"Pl…ease…s….top….I'm….so…r…ry"
I see a white foam start to form in her mouth and her eyes starts to white as she starts to lose consciousness
I let go off her neck and she collapses on the ground. I squat down and pat her head and slowly rub her back. I resist the urge to wince in pain as the blade is still in my torso. With a warm smile and a gentle voice, I say
Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry
The young girl pisses herself and crawls backwards and with a shaky voice says
"Don't get any closer, you monster"
I embrace her with a hug keeping my warm smile
Im really sorry I didn't mean to scare you
Song Hai senses this is the perfect opportunity to kill me, but something in her didn't want to. She doesn't know what it was. Was it fear that I might retaliate? She forgets about the assassination and delves deeper into my chest.
I pat her on the head
You're such a good girl
Thoughts protrude my head
Who could it be? My parents in this scenario doesn't make sense neither do any other families. Oh, It's likely the clan leader. Well, I can't do much if it is him
She starts to whimper, tears clouding her classes, and she struggles to get the words out
"The clan leader told me to or he would exile my family"
Guess I was right, but why wouldn't he just exile me or do the assassination himself.
I respond to Song Cao
No need to cry, you're all safe
I need her for the flower of life. I can not lose her
What can I do about the Xian Shi though? I can't let Song Cao get exiled. Why is this timeline straying so much from the previous one, just what is happening?
Oh, I know I can do that, that's the only way I as a rank 1 can beat him.
While I'm deep in thought, Song Cao tries to pull the blade out.
My fist cements on her face, shattering her glasses.
I whisper
What a naughty girl
I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I pull the blade out and blood oozes out of me covering her body.
With a soft whisper, I exclaim
Should I kill you?
The blade dances centimeters away from her neck
"Please don't"
You're scared of the clan leader aren't you
"Yes"
The blade gets a tad bit closer to her jugular
You're not scared of me?
She squirms trying to get away, but I hold her down. My body is about to shut down
"I am, please don't hurt me"
I glide the blade at the thinnest layer of her belly
I proclaim
Don't be so scared, we're friends
I lied
She thinks I'm being sincere with my words and nods, and with a voice barely above a whisper says
"Right, friends don't hurt each other"
She gets away twinkle-toed and exits the room through the window
I clasp my hands around the wound in my torso and tear a piece of my clothing off and stuff it into my thin wound.
I had made sure to be quiet as to not wake those bastards up.
I withstand the pain and start to meditate. I have to start building up my core.
