Chapter 455: Chapter 455 Chapter 455: Chapter 455 Xuexue’s reaction didn’t surprise the dwarf at all. If an ordinary little girl could remain calm with a knife pressed against her face, that would be the real surprise.
“As long as you’re willing to tell the truth, I find you quite likable and won’t make things difficult for you,” he said.
Xuexue stopped crying and said in panic, “Big brother, I really didn’t lie to you. That man, today was the first time I saw him. He followed me wanting to know where I lived. A strange man, asking me for my address out of the blue on the street, I feared I’d encounter a bad person, how could I dare to tell him? My parents always warned me that there are many bad people out there, that you can’t see a person’s heart. They told me to always be careful.”
Then, looking at the dwarf, she asked, “Big brother, isn’t that right?”
“Really?” the dwarf said with a face full of doubt.
“I truly didn’t lie to you. Look at how beautiful I am; wherever I go on the street, I’m always bothered by strangers. I’m really wronged here. It’s not my fault that I look pretty; it’s all arranged by Heaven. And then there are the gossiping women in the village, always calling me a vixen spirit behind my back. I’m nearly dying of grievance here. Apparently, being attractive is also a mistake,” Xuexue said, and as she spoke, she broke down into heavy sobs again, looking frightened and deeply wronged.
“Alright, no more crying,” he said.
Perhaps Xuexue had struck a chord within him, for the dwarf put away his knife, held his head in his hands, and squatted on the ground, suddenly cursing his mother, “Damn it, Heaven, always toying with me from the moment I was born. I’ve lived for decades, and I don’t even know who my real parents are. It’s like I’ve lived this life for nothing.”
As he cursed, he also started sobbing loudly.
This turn of events genuinely surprised Xuexue. In her previous life, this murderous Demon was known for his ruthless heart. When had she ever seen him cry?
“Big brother, what’s wrong? You should look on the bright side of things, don’t be too sad,” she said.
As the dwarf cried, Xuexue herself stopped her tears and began to comfort him.
In fact, she was constantly ready to strike him down with a knife, just waiting for the right opportunity.
“I have such a hard fate,” lamented the dwarf, sitting on the ground. He began to pour out his woes to Xuexue.
In her heart, Xuexue sneered repeatedly. Indeed, there’s something despicable about those who garner sympathy.
No matter how much a person suffers, it cannot be used as an excuse to go around killing innocents.
“You have no idea; you are annoyed because your beauty attracts trouble, but I’m scorned for my ugliness to the extent that even my own parents abandoned me. Tell me, hasn’t my life been too painful?” the dwarf spoke to Xuexue as if confiding in a close friend.
“Big brother need not be too sad. Maybe they had their own compelling reasons,” she said.
“To abandon their own child, what kind of parents are worthy of such a title? If I ever see them, I’ll hack them to pieces one by one,” said the dwarf, his face suddenly twisted into a ferocious snarl, looking as if he wanted to kill.
The guy is a complete psycho.
At that moment, Xuexue didn’t dare say anything to incite him, lest she end up on the receiving end of his knife–then she would’ve lived this new life in vain!
Xiao Taohong floated over to Xuexue and asked, “Master, this man is a bit unstable mentally. Why don’t we just knock him out and escape quickly?”
Because they had a Blood Covenant, they could communicate silently in their minds, which is why the dwarf had no idea there was a little ghost beside him.
“Can you beat him?” Xuexue thought scornfully to herself.
“Not at the moment. I’ll manage after some time when my cultivation gets a bit higher,” Xiao Taohong replied.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Xiao Taohong was counting on you, Master,” she said.
“If I could beat him, do you think he would have captured me and brought me here?” Xuexue glared at her resentfully, annoyed. She still dared to prattle on in front of her, claiming to be older and more experienced in everything.
