The Journey of Flower - Chapter 121

– Icy heart remains the same
When Bai Zihua opened his eyes again, he was still tied up but this time he was chained to the wall. The empty bedroom is large and cold, with a simple table, chairs, and a bed.

Hua Qiangu was lying on the bed facing at him, propping her head and her eyes open, but it was not like looking at him. Half a day without moving or blinking. Bai Zihua knew she has already asleep, but just still keep her eyes open.

No longer hesitate looking at the face of a familiar person in front of him. She has grown up, and became taller. Although she had the world’s best appearance at beauty, he preferred her childhood appearance. Despite at the time her face was ruined by Unfeeling water, it was still likable unlike now merciless and heartless.

The thin body was almost numb on the cold wall, and the feeling of hunger, thirst and cold was long forgotten. The body of mortal is so fragile and vulnerable. He remains motionless staring at Hua Qiangu as if if he blinks his eyes, she would disappear from his life again.

After a time, do not know how long, Hua Qiangu still hasn’t woken up yet, he has fallen unconscious again. Having his usual dream, seeing Xiao Gu hugged his legs, cried and begged him as he carried the sword, sword after sword, and did not know how many swords were stabbed. And then Xiao Gu’s body suddenly turned into himself, but even if he is hurting, he still refused to stop. Blood everywhere, and he was covered with thick blood from head to toe.

There was a sharp pain in his chest, and then a clear flow slowly flowed in. He opened his eyes with sweat. Hua Qiangu stood in front of him. That’s right, although the appearance has changed, but at least Xiao Gu is still alive standing in front of him.

“Xiao Gu….” Bai Zihua took a breath, and his voice was slightly trembling.

“Don’t call me Xiao Gu.” Hua Qiangu looked at him coldly and fed a red pill into his mouth. Even he didn’t know what kind of medicine it was, he swallowed it without hesitation, and the chill in his body suddenly went away a lot.

Although she said it before that Bai Zihua can stay by her side and free to kill her anytime if he has the ability, but now it seemed like Hua Qiangu doesn’t have the intention to untie the bond and let him down.

“I changed my mind. I don’t want to see you no more. It’s best if you are willing to leave. If you refuse to leave, I will have someone to kick you out. If you want to kill me, find the way yourself, I don’t have leisure time to play with you.”

He wants to kill her, but she has no obligation to give him an opportunity. It’s not a problem of being afraid or not, she just don’t think that it’s worth it to follow his emotions and act on impulse. What does she want to do in keeping him, just to prove that he has no longer has influence on her?

Bai Zihua could not understand her current unpredictable mood. In the past, Hua Qiangu whose he knew like the back of his palm, suddenly changed into someone indifferent and eccentric. He doesn’t understand her at her.

“Xiao Gu, what did you do to Ni Mantian? Even if she made a mistake, after all, she is still from the same sect as you. She is a disciple of your Luo Shiyi brother. You have already killed Luo Shiyi, is it still not enough? Stop making a mistake.”

“I have long break away from Changliu, don’t mention all these to me anymore. How could I be willing to kill her, I only let her live like living hell.”

Whe Bai Zihua saw the hatred in her eyes, his heart was shocked: “It was me who wrong you. If you hate me, you can kill me. Don’t vent your anger on other people. Even if Ni Mantian killed Tang Bao and deserves her punishment, but all the living beings in the six realms are innocent, you can’t let Zhu Ran do as he pleases, sit by idly and remain indifferent watching him killing people. You are being like this, what’s the difference between killing them with your own hands?”

Hearing this, Hua Qiangu bitter sneer at the bottom of her heart. At this time, he still can patiently and earnestly teaching her like before?

“I was supposed to kill those people, but I was too lazy to do it myself, so I let Zhu Ran handled it for me. Hate? You and I did not owe each other, why should I hate you?”

Hate, it would mean that she still cares. But now, everything in Bai Zihua has nothing to do with her. She doesn’t want to care.

Sometimes, she also didn’t understand herself. Because of him, she has come to this point today, indirectly killing all the people she loves and cares about, but she still unable to blame him. It would be great if she could hate him as she hates Ni Mantian, clear-cut and straightforward took revenge. But all that happened was ultimately her responsibility, brought troubles to herself , she could not blame others.

No one knows better than her the power of hatred and how heavy the sin to bear because of hatred. If it is not because of the matter now, she couldn’t even find a reason to live. An excuse for death, she would not choose to hate anyone, including Ni Mantian. The one she should hate is herself.

“Do you regret at that time didn’t accept Ni Mantian as your disciple, but accepted a brutal and cold-blooded person like me as your disciple?

Bai Zihua’s heart tightened at what she said, but his trembling lips did not say anything at the end.

“Go before I change my mind, I don’t want to kill you.” While she still remembers, there’s some warm memories left.

Bai Zihua shook his head, instead of standing by and watching her killing, he would rather die in her hand, if this could repay one percent of her ten thousandth pain.

“Do you really think that I don’t dare to kill you? Or….can’t bear to kill you?” Hua Qiangu grabbed his lapel and the deep purple color in her eyes seems to drip out.

Bai Zihua couldn’t help but wry smile. Now she even despised the power of Nine Heaven, what else she dare not to do. The reason why he is here because he always believes in her. Even she has changed a lot, but the kindness and simplicity of her when she was a child still inside her. Everything that happens now, he would rather lie to himself that she just angry at him and threw her temper at him. Once he coaxed her, and she is not angry anymore, everything would go back to the same as the beginning.

“It’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change a person’s nature. You obviously hate the bloody killing the most, why forcing yourself, doing this only make yourself suffer more. You have the right to choose everything, why not put the past behind?”

Hua Qiangu sneered in her heart: “Who was the one that told me, no matter what the reason is, wrong is wrong? Is it that the death of Tang Bao, Dongfang, Xiaoye, can be regarded as not happening? Could it be said that just one sentence ‘put down’, it is possible to forget everything? Bai Zihua, are you here to atone for your sin, or come here to guide me back to the right path? If you are here to atone for your sin, you don’t have to. I said it before you didn’t owe me anything, it was me who brought trouble to myself, so it’s nobody’s fault but my own. If you are here trying to guide me back to the right path, then it’s a bit too ridiculous. Do you think things have come this far, I can turn around? But…..”

Hua Qiangu, suddenly took a step forward, and abruptly lean close to Bai Zihua. Their faces almost touched each other, and her deep purple eyes seemed to penetrate into the depths of his soul. There was no room for Bai Zihua to retreat, he almost suffocated by the seductive floral scent. Then he heard Hua Qiangu enchanting whispered which was like countless ants biting his ears.

“But if you want to stay here for me to play with, I don’t mind at all.”

Bai Zihua still unshaken eyes stared at her without fear, and slowly spit out the words: “You won’t.”

Hua Qiangu’s dead heart all of sudden felt angry. Where does he get his confidence from, so sure that she won’t kill him or humiliate him?

Raising his hand, without hesitation she tore open his front. The ripping sound was particularly too piercing inside the empty room.Bai Zihua did not move, but the sudden exposure of skin to the cold air caused a slight shudder.

“Bai Zihua, you know my thoughts about you, don’t challenge my limits. I don’t have any patience with you now, don’t force me.” Don’t force her to hurt him. While she still had at least a bit of respect for him, while she still has at least a little conscience.

Bai Zihua was silence. Hua Qiangu was disgusted by his compassion looks, fiercely slammed his chin with one of her hands.

Is he really sure he can withstand her hatred and anger?

Her cold hand passed through his torn cloth, gently touching it, and slowly descend along his perfect collarbone, leaving a trace of ice-cold immersed in the bones.

Bai Zihua did not move, but at last he could not help closing my eyes when the familiar yet strange hands slowly lay on his chest, not wanting to let out any of his emotions through his eyes. At the end he took a deep sighed and said: “You still haven’t grown up yet.”

Looking at her in such a negative mood, in contrast, Bai Zihua felt at ease. The ice-cold heart as cold as death is the most horrible thing. For her to be upset, it proves that she still cares about him, it is enough.

Hua Qiangu raised her eyebrows, and slowly stop her actions. She knew that even if he lost his immortal body, but his icy heart is still remains the same. The body that wrapped in outside skin appearance in his eyes was nothing more than an unrealistic rosy view. Her blasphemers meant nothing to him, it only just going to make herself lose self control.

She then turned away and left, leaving Bai Zihua in the empty room alone.
