BXBX NOVEL Chapter 495 Who Does That?!?
"And where are they now?" pushed Liu Wei, wrapping his hand around me from behind.
"Dead."
"Exactly," nodded Liu Wei, pleased that the fighter was finally understanding things. "Which means that you aren\'t getting your money."
"Because of you fuckers!" growled the man, lunging himself at me with his hands outstretched as if he was planning on strangling me. Goodbye, lone brain cell. It was nice while you lasted. With a wave of his hand, Liu Wei reaped the soul of the fighter, allowing his body to drop to the ground at my feet.
Liu Yu Zeng let out a soft breath, and the body started to decompose until there was nothing left of it besides a black smudge on the ground.
"Didn\'t see that coming," I grumbled, and I really hadn\'t. I had assumed, obviously incorrectly, that they would have been delirious being freed and would have taken the first chance they had to escape, like what most of the women had done.
"If it is any consolation, I don\'t think that any of us did," said one of the soldiers. "That is just fucked up."
"If they don\'t want their freedom and would prefer just to kill each other, let them," said Rip in what was possibly the longest sentence that I had ever heard him speak. "But we have bigger problems," he continued, causing my head to snap around and look at him.
"She isn\'t waking up," he said, answering my unasked question.
"What do you mean?" I demanded, not at all impressed with that statement. Was there something wrong with her? Was she destined to always die after meeting me? Was she allergic to something in the chocolate bars? Someone answer me, for fucks sake.
"It\'s because you are holding her," snapped Bai Long Qiang. He walked over to Rip and held out his arms like the other man was simply going to hand her over. That was not happening, and anyone with a brain could see that. Maybe Bai Long Qiang got hit too many times in the head, just like the other fighters.
Liu Yu Zeng studied the Healer, his eyes flashing white for a moment, before turning back to look at me. "Not sick," he said concisely, knowing exactly what I needed to hear. I looked at Liu Wei for a moment, trying to see what he had to say.
"Death is not calling," he assured me, adjusting his glasses as the six men who were not mine turned to stare at him. He shrugged his shoulders, refusing to answer anything more.
I turned my attention to Chen Zi Han and narrowed my eyes on him. If she wasn\'t sick and wasn\'t dying, could he have an idea what was wrong with her? He grunted and turned to study the woman in Rip\'s arms, his black eyes flashing. He shook his head and turned to look at me.
"She is malnourished and could use a lot of food when she wakes up, but that aside, everything inside of her is perfectly balanced," he grunted, coming to stand behind where I sat. The only one of my men not to be physically touching me right now was Wang Chao, and I wondered why that was.
\'Because if I am to touch you right now, I am going to whisk you away to someplace that nobody would ever be able to find us and keep you there until you had at least ten babies. I am doing this for you. Please don\'t test my self-control. When it comes to you, I find that I have none,\' he said inside of my mind, and I truly studied him.
One of his hands was clenched into a fist so tight that his knuckles were starting to turn white. And while his other hand seemed to be placed casually inside of his pant\'s pocket, I could see that he was anything but casual right now. In fact, he appeared to be a quivering ball of lightning, ready to explode at any moment.
This was not the time to poke the beast.
I nodded my head and turned my attention back to where Bai Long Qiang and Rip were fighting over who would be able to hold the Healer. Well, when I say fighting, I mean that Bai Long Qiang was jumping around like a monkey, and Rip was looking at him like he was nothing but shit on the ground to avoid.
"Thank you," Rip grunted. He might not know exactly what the guys were, but at least he took them at their word. His eyes flashed to mine for a second, and that was when I saw it. He knew exactly what the guys were, and their words had caused his shoulders to relax a fraction of an inch, knowing that she was not going to die.
"Should we take her to City A?" asked one of the soldiers, looking around at the others. "I have heard that they have a healer at the base."
"Yeah, but are they really going to let the healer take a look at Wang Tian Mu? I thought he was specifically reserved for Zhao Jun Jie\'s fiancé. She is the most important woman in that city. Nothing less than a Saint if the rumors are anything to go by," answered Cheng Bo Jing, walking back over to us, his face pale from using so much of his power.
I looked around the clearing and saw that over three hundred cages were opened, allowing their inhabitants to escape. I nodded my head respectfully to him. He was strong for a human, I would give him that.
"Did you just say that Zhao Jun Jie had a fiancé?" asked Liu Wei, cocking his head to the side and staring at the man who spoke.
"Yes, it is a well-known fact that she is everything perfect and that he is head over heels in love with her," answered the first man, and the rest of the soldiers grunted in agreement. "He brought in a healer specifically for her. And while he does work at the hospital at the same time, he is only allowed to use his powers on her."
My eyes narrowed, trying to figure out where I had heard the name Zhao Jun Jie\'s name before, but for the life of me, I couldn\'t remember.
"He is your fiancé," said Wang Chao, his tone utterly devoid of emotion.
"Hardly," I answered with a roll of my eyes. That was right. In my last life, Zhao Jun Jie was the head of City A, taking it over after Wang Chao had never returned from his mission to Country S. But I never heard that he had a fiancé in his last life. I wonder who the unfortunate soul was that he was interested in. "And I have all my men. I am not adding any more. Especially not Zhao Jun Jie."
The first thing I did when I escaped here in my last life was head to City A, hoping that I could find a safe place to live and lick my wounds. Unfortunately, I never made it past the first gate. Zhao Jun Jie to burn in a pit of Hellfire for the rest of his life, and I would not be upset in the least.
"You are Zhao Jun Jie\'s fiancé? You are Wu Bai Hee?" asked one of the soldiers, pipping up at the exact wrong time and with the exact wrong thing to say.
"I\'m sorry, who did you say Zhao Jun Jie\'s fiancé is?" demanded Liu Wei in a very soft voice. The man went white as he received Death\'s undivided attention.
"Wu Bai Hee?" he responded tentatively, and I could see the sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Not possible. She is dead. I killed her," said Liu Wei, shaking his head slowly. "Could someone else have taken her name?"
"I don\'t know. All that I have heard was that she moved to City A a few years ago with her father and his group of survivors. I know that she is so beautiful; it hurts to look at her, but that she doesn\'t have any powers. Despite that, the leader of City A fell in love with her at first sight and has refused to let anyone else but a select group of people approach her. She is known as the Saint for feeding the hungry, looking after the sick, and donating her clothes to those in need."
Liu Wei looked at Liu Yu Zeng for a moment, and I didn\'t need to read their mind to know what they were thinking. Somehow, some way, Liu Wei\'s soulmate had returned from the dead and was now engaged to the leader of City A.
Wait…
"Did you say that she was pregnant?!?" I screeched, not at all impressed with that fact. She cheated on her soulmate with someone else and got pregnant? Who does that?!
