BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43: Money Speaks-34
Seeing this Ling Fei, was shocked and horrified, he realized he had been used by Bai Lung and played the role of a fool.
Everyone wanted him dead regardless he was the devil or not, but then again, it was his own tongue.
His face was a mask of sheer terror, his eyes wide and unblinking, pupils dilated to black pools that seemed to swallow the light.
His mouth hung open in a silent scream, lips trembling as if the words had fled his tongue.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, trickling down to his pallid cheeks. His hands shook uncontrollably, clutching his chest as if to still the frantic pounding of his heart.
Every muscle in his body was tensed, poised on the precipice between flight and paralysis, creating an image of a man utterly consumed by fear.
He was questioning his life choices.
Why wasn't saintess standing on his behalf? What about brother fatty wang and childhood friend Mei Lin.
Why did everyone think he was the devil when the real devil was Bai Lung, the Holy envoy?
...
"No! The martial art technique used by Ling Fei doesn't belong to the sect,"
"Indeed! He must have more devilish art!"
"Execute him! He is the devil, all proof is against him,"
"Indeed! He isn't someone who should be allowed to live,"
...
" The Holy Envoy is young and wise, " The sect master uttered while he looked at his daughter,
"I hope, I won't have to disclose to you what needs to be done... It doesn't suit a father to tell such words to his daughter so, don't make me take a shame," he said with a cold tone.
"The connection with the Royal court is a must, plus, he is a capable man, he can take care of you, it's a good thing for everyone... Also, I hope the rumors I have heard about you and Ling Fei aren't real, if not, then, even if the holy envoy stoned you to death, my mouth and legs will remain solidified,"
Hearing this Ling'r trembled slightly while she bowed her head, "I understand, Father,"
"Hmm... It's sect master, not father, right now!" The Sect Master said while he focused back on Ling Fei, with a sinister smirk.
"I heard the Holy Envoy is already engaged to Princess Qin, I don't think you can be his wife, concubine is the best you can get... I hope you won't find it a problem as This Man, was unable to provide a good future and background for you,"
"N-No! It's the best I can hope for," she hurriedly responded.
"Good! You are truly fabulous but, this one doesn't like to force things," saying that, the Sect master once again looked at Ling'r with a cold side-eye.
"If you think you are being treated unfairly speak up... If you don't wish to be with him, you can inform me now," saying that he tapped his fingers at the glamorous chair, he was sitting on.
"Umm- he is a man among man, he is wise, had formidable strength and deep background, I couldn't be more fortunate to be with him," she uttered with fingers crossed, hands trembling.
"Good!" The sect master nodded his head.
...
"Ling Fei, your actions are against you, is there anything that you would like to your defense?" Bai Lung spoke with a cold tone, with a sinister aura around his body.
" Eggh! " Ling Fei finds it hard to breathe, unable to look at Bai Lung.
His luck was already suppressed by a huge margin, making him suffocate from Bai Lung's presence alone.
But it wasn't time to end it all as Ling Fei still possesses some Luck value.
There was still milk left in the bowl for the cat to enjoy.
....
"Y-You! You are trying to set me up with your little tricks, you are the devil here, not me, don't think you can bully me," Ling Fei roared.
However, to his horror, a powerful aura completely suppressed him, pushing his face to the ground.
[Ding! The Immortal Master is scared of Host's Aura]
[ Ding! The immortal Master is cursing Ling Fei for messing with you, ]
[ Ding! The relationship between Immortal Master and Ling Fei is destroyed ]
[ Ding! The host has stolen 100 Luck value from Ling Fei ]
[ 50 luck value is converted into 5,000 Points and a 10,000 bonus for the most crucial plot change ]
...
"What Happened Old Man, help me" Ling Fei uttered in a small voice.
"I- I can't... This Aura seems to be the Dragon Aura of Dragon Clan Tch! Tch!... Only death awaits you, foolish child"
The sharp voice from Ring answered without mercy.
" Wha-What do you mean by only death awaits? " Ling Fei hurriedly asked after all, this old man inside the ring was his last hope to survive.
" I can't help you, Young brat, you shouldn't have provoked that man...if you want to blame anyone, then blame yourself for having eyes but, not being able to see,
The old man in the ring was an Immortal so, of course, he didn't want to help because these Dragon auras could easily waste him from life, after all, his soul was already weak,
For him, the thing that matters the most is his safety and survival.
Hearing the voice from ring, ringing at the back of his head.
Ling Fei shouted loudly in his head cursing the old man inside the ring.
"You Sly old fox I shouldn't have trusted you... That's right, you and that Bai Lung must have made a decision behind my back to backstab me, you old man, you think you can drown me alone? Keep dreaming, I am taking you with me,"
The menacing red aura was suppressing the cultivation base of Ling Fei, slowly absorbing his vitality.
But, using his life essence, Ling Fei, began to open his spartial ring.
" Keep dreaming old man, if I am dying, you are coming with me... It's all because of you... It's you, who had stopped me from making a move at Saintess, You, old man is the reason, I am Doom! "
"You ungrateful brat! How dare you slander me, it's your blind eye and mean tongue that has brought your downfall,"
