His chin seemed almost deformed from the pinching. “I don’t understand, why are you tormenting me, why! You lied, you’re not the Wang Xie who only dotes on and cherishes me!” Tears blurred her vision, mingling with the fresh blood on her lips, slipping into her mouth, tasting of bitterness, of blood, and more of heartbreak. She couldn’t fathom why he had become like this. When she realized she had fallen in love with him, what she got in return was this outcome: her powers were gone. The “Black Lasciviousness” beneath her had suppressed the magic within her, now controlling her instead. Now, Ai Xiaotu was nothing but a shell, to be toyed with at will. The last bit of strength and essence within her was drained by the demonic bed. The golden cherry blossom mark on her forehead no longer glowed; it had turned a dark hue. The silver poppy at the corner of her eye gradually turned black, symbolizing darkness, death, or perhaps despair. In this dark world, the devil’s wild laughter resounded, his ten fingers, sharp and long like eagle’s claws, danced chaotically, the red nails terrifying, dripping with blood, delicious blood… When light falls, darkness strikes. They all anticipated a world of bloodshed, a world filled with slaughter, or perhaps a world of hideousness, of lust, of sin, and of grievances… Darkness and light, like a scale, when light suppresses darkness, darkness, in turn, restrains light. When one side falls, the other rises in its moment of madness…
Crystal-clear tears, like water from a holy spring, slowly washed away his sinful soul. What was he doing? There was a moment of panic as he looked at the broken figure before him, a sense of guilt rising in his heart. The next moment, his eyes turned cold again, the shift too quick to capture. Instead of releasing his grip, he intensified it, cruelly leaving marks all over her naked body, bruises covering her, her lower body swollen and unbearable, dried blood marking his madness and coldness. Was this really the Wang Xie who once centered his world around Xiaotu?
