Chapter 94 - I Am An Assassin. Not A Puppy!
[This guy has been hunted for quite a long time…] Ye Xiao thought, [His experience of being hunted is not as miserable as mine, but it is quite woeful already…]
He didn’t thought that Ning Bi-Luo was being hunted because of him!
Ning Bi-Luo sat on the floor dejectedly while breathing heavily and he asked, “The House of Chaotic Storm. I wonder whether you are Wan Of The Clouds or Xiu Of The Heavens?”
Xiu-Er spoke blandly, “I am Xiu-Er.”
“I see.” Ning Bi-Luo smiled with self-mockery. He suddenly looked amused and said, “To die in a demon’s hand, at least it won’t stain my honorable name in the world.”
Ye Xiao was surprised and thought, [Demon? What demon? What does he mean?]
Xiu-Er’s voice turned cold, “Ning Bi-Luo, do you know you just offended me?”
Ning Bi-Luo rolled his eyelids and said while panting, “I know. Of course I know… However, Lady Xiu-Er, even though you are powerful with all your hexes, you can only kill me once, right? You want to drag me back from hell and kill me again and again… Hey hey. Even if you really are a demon, I am afraid that’s out of your capability. Right?”
While speaking, he actually laughed and said, “I am unlucky to come across you while I am still carrying wounds. If I am fully recovered, I doubt that you can defeat me! Let’s just say the gods didn’t stand on my side!”
A figure in white fluttered. The slim figure of Xiu-Er appeared in Ye Xiao’s sight. Even in the heavy rain, her clothes still looked clean and dry!
She spoke, “There is no such thing as absolutely fair in the world. In the martial world, there is no such thing as justice either… Ning Bi-Luo, you are an assassin. Killing is normal for you. When you took people’s lives, did you give them a fair chance to defend themselves? Yet now you spoke those words. Don’t you think that what you said has stained your name? A man demeans himself right before his death. How pathetic.”
Ning Bi-Luo stayed silent for a while and then spoke hoarsely, “You are right. I am hypocrite by saying that. Just end my life today. I won’t complain anything about it.”
Xiu-Er laughed and then spoke indifferently, “You know what. I don’t want to kill you. What I want is to recruit you.”
Ning Bi-Luo laughed and said, “Recruit? In such a pleasant way?”
Xiu-Er spoke calmly, “The House of Chaotic Storm hasn’t recruited any true member for many years… Now that we are showing you our appreciation, why are you still unsatisfied? Does it really matter what way we used you?”
Ning Bi-Luo coughed for a while. He then panted out, “What a pity… I don’t want to be a demon.”
The coldness in Xiu-Er’s eyes increased and her eagerness to kill turned heavier.
Even though she was not looking at Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao felt a bit terrified at the moment…
“You have offended me over and over again. Ning Bi-Luo, as a man like you, it is immoderate to offend a lady like that.” Her voice became peaceful again.
Ning Bi-Luo was quiet.
“I want to know the true reason.” Xiu-Er spoke blandly, “The House of Chaotic Storm is world-shocking… All the superior cultivators want to be a member of it, except you. Why?”
Ning Bi-Luo spoke after a long silence, “I know that what you said is true. However… I am a self-governed man. I am always the one who gives the orders, even though I am an assassin. Perhaps I have never been a good guy… But I will never be a puppy!”
He raised his head and spoke blandly and stoutly, “I can be a bad guy, but I will never be a puppy for others! Not even a puppy for the king!”
Xiu-Er stayed silent for a while before she said, “Good. Good. You are a tough guy. I was underestimating you.”
Ning Bi-Luo was motivated and laughed. He spoke proudly, “I am born with an unyielding character! I don’t think I can ever change it in this life.”
“The House of Chaotic Storm needs assassins this time. A man like you is someone I truly don’t want to lose…” Xiu-Er sighed and said, “The guy, Red In The Sky, has been missing since his last mission. Ning Bi-Luo, I am giving you another chance here… You can still change your mind.”
Ning Bi-Luo closed his eyes and mouth. He stayed silent.
His attitude was obvious, [Just kill me. I won’t change my goddamn mind!]
Xiu-Er sighed of pity and had her last try, “Fine. I won’t force you. However… Ning Bi-Luo, let me ask you another thing. If you can explain it clearly to me, and if your answer satisfies me, I will stop pushing you and give you a quick and nice death.”
Ning Bi-Luo spoke with his eyes closed, “Ok. Go ahead.”
“You say you don’t want to serve anybody and only wished to fight for yourself alone. That is your personal conviction, right?” Xiu-Er asked, “For your whole life, you only obeyed yourself, is that true?”
