Free Web NovelChapter 168: Women Really are Troublesome...
Xiao Yun’s father laid Wang Xiao down on his bed. Xiao Yun’s mother used any spare clothes she could find to wipe down his body and wrap up his wounds. For now, he was in stable condition.
Xiao Yun’s father left the house and went to the village chief for an explanation. He later returned with a bitter expression.
"Father, what happened? Did you make Wei Yang pay for what he did to Brother Wang?" Xiao Yun asked her father as soon as he returned.
Xiao Yun’s father sighed heavily before explaining, "The village chief punished Wei Yang lightly. Although I’m unsatisfied, there is nothing I can do. Besides... Wei Yang proposed to me asking for your hand in marriage right after his punishment." Xiao Yun’s father looked at Xiao Yun apologetically.
"I don’t want to marry him, I want to... marry Brother Wang!" Xiao Yun firmly declared whilst blushing.
"Silly girly, don’t worry, your father naturally refused. I absolutely cannot let you marry such a sinister person." He patted Xiao Yun’s delicate head and reassured her, an unnoticeable trace of Killing Intent flashed in his eyes.
He was lying. Things did not progress as he had described. Instead, he had agreed to the marriage under the pressure and threat of the village chief. He had no choice.
Along with numerous threats, the village chief had also promised countless riches and privileges if he agreed to marry Xiao Yun off to Wei Yang. It was not necessarily a bad thing that he had agreed.
Xiao Yun was gently put to bed by her father. Her father did not sleep, he instead walked towards Wang Xiao’s room.
Wang Xiao’s face was fully disfigured. There were numerous scars littered all over his face. He had a large black eye which still had traces of blood. His lips were busted and looked gory. Overall, he looked like a monster who had his face ripped off.
’Wang Xiao has lost his only valuable asset, his appearance. There is no longer any use for him. If I marry Xiao Yun to Wei Yang, not only will I obtain endless riches. I can also increase my status in the village.’ Xiao Yun’s father greedily thought. Everyone was greedy, it was only a matter of boundaries. freewebnσvel.cѳm
A person would not act based upon their greed if they thought the gains were not enough, the opposite was also true.
’But Xiao Yun will never agree to marry Wei Yang, her heart has already been stolen by Wang Xiao.’ This was the dilemma he faced at the moment.
’The only way to fix this is by taking Wang Xiao out of the equation. Xiao Yun’s heart will be chaotic for a little while before slowly falling in love with another man. I just need to make sure this man is Wei Yang.’ Nefarious thoughts emerged in Xiao Yun’s father’s mind. He glared at Wang Xiao with Killing Intent.
’Xiao Yun, father is sorry, but this is necessary for the future generations of our bloodline to thrive.’ Forcing down the guilt he felt towards his daughter, the middle-aged man slowly advanced towards Wang Xiao, he steeled his heart.
Wang Xiao was completely defenceless. He was unconscious and was heavily wounded at the moment.
Even if he was at his prime, against a henchman who had been through numerous battles in the wild, he did not stand a chance from the beginning.
Xiao Yun’s father lifted up his large rough hands and placed them on the 16-year-old Wang Xiao’s neck. He was going in for the kill.
Xiao Yun’s father’s heart was in turmoil. He could hardly bring himself to kill Wang Xiao. Memories of their time together surfaced in his mind. He felt the soft sensation of Wang Xiao’s neck. He hesitated.
He stood there for a whole hour, hesitating, trying to convince himself that this was for the greater good of his bloodline. In the end, his grip around Wang Xiao’s neck became tighter and tighter before he exerted his full strength, he had made up his mind.
On the platform within the Tides of Chaos. An expression of pain surfaced on Tang Yin’s sleeping face. He was about to die. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Tian Huang saw this and sighed, ’Looks like he is not the one after all.’ He shook his head in disappointment and lost hope.
The Heaven Devouring Abyss within Tang Yin’s body moved of its own accord and surged into his soul.
Inside the village, Wang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Yun’s father’s grip loosened before he fell back in shock and fear.
This was because Wang Xiao’s eyes were fully black. There were no white or azure pupils, just black. He looked as if he had been possessed by a demon.
"It’s just a dream... Women really are troublesome." Wang Xiao muttered under his breath. His red hair slowly morphed into an abyssal black shade.
As soon as Wang Xiao muttered this sentence, reality shattered, literally.
Numerous cracks appeared in the wooden house, the village, and the dark night. Then it all shattered as if whatever had happened for the past 16 years was all just a picture imprinted on glass.
And the glass had shattered at this moment.
