Chapter 377: Nasty Siblings
"Why aren’t you watching your back, stupid!, a familiar voice echoed amidst the sound of clashing swords.
Xing saw herself standing in the middle of an ambush where the entire Ming family was targeted. The carriages were burning and smoke clouded her vision and she could hear Shurei and the little baby’s whimper.
" I’m not stupid! ", she shouted and tried to get Baobei who was beside her but before she could touch the boy, everything around her disappeared in a whisp of smoke.
As she passed through the smoke with her face covered, she was in a courtyard engulfed in flames. The heat was rising and even the sound of the burning wood and the embers rising before her were very discernable reminding her of the day her courtyard burned.
That was a day she felt helpless!
But when she looked around, she realised it was her father’s courtyard and there she saw behind the wooden partition, her father, her brother and little Ruoxin.
"No...", she screamed as she tried to get to them but everything in front of her crumbled like she touched a sculpture made of ash making her heart break.
What is going on?
Before Xing could get a sense of what is happening, the scene changed more serene as she was leaning on Chenglei in the warm embrace of the evening sun and the gentle breeze, watching the flow of a gentle stream of river flowing through the rocks making a soothing melody.
" Xing... My love!", Chenglei’s whispered much more sweeter than the best honey she’d tasted and more tempting than any books she’d read and surprisingly it soothed her almost immediately.
Is this real?
Xing raised her fingers to touch him and before her fingertips could reach him, she saw his expression turning to hate and coldness, "Who are you?", he asked and the surroundings turned to a blizzard and they were at a cliff with an abyss around it.
