Ling Chen couldn't remember exactly how much blood he had stained his hands. However, what he was sure of was that it was in the tens of thousands.
In hell, the first time he killed someone, his body and mind would tremble, and he would gradually become numb to it. Afterwards, killing people became as normal as eating and sleeping, and the smell of blood was as familiar to him as the smell of the air. Life after life was taken by his hands, and puddles of blood sprayed everywhere. In his eyes, it was no different from pulling out a blade of grass.
That was until he met Shui Ruo. Shui Ruo's purity made him realise how filthy and sinful his blood-stained body was. At first, he felt ashamed of his own inferiority, and didn't dare to get too close to her in case he tainted her … afterwards, he swore that he would never kill again. In the following 6 years, he did not personally kill a single person. On the night that Shui Ruo left, he went berserk, and his body was covered with blood as he slaughtered over 2000 people … that was the most people he had killed in his life.
Even though he had been purified for 6 years, his hands were still stained with blood and sin. As for Su 'Er … she was as pure as Shui Ruo. With his sinful body … what right did he have to touch her …
Ling Chen closed his eyes as he continued to speak, "… Just like tonight, I made Xuanyuan Xue Yi bleed in front of you and so many people, and gave him the cruelest torture a man can do … At that time, all of the men and women in the hall were so scared that their faces paled, and they hurriedly ran away, trying to get as far away from me as possible. No one had the courage to even look at me. In their eyes, I must be a cruel devil, and … I have killed so many people, and I am so cruel, I am indeed a devil … "
"… Big brother Ling Tian, don't talk about yourself like that!"
Su 'Er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out. She raised her head and yelled out in a loud voice. Ling Chen was stunned. This was the first time he had heard Su'Er speak so loudly.
After saying those words, Su 'Er seemed to have been given a big fright. Under Ling Chen's shocked gaze, she quickly lowered her head and looked at her hands on her knees, "Others might not understand big brother Ling Tian, but I know … the big brother Ling Tian that I know has the warmest eyes and the most comforting smile. As long as I see him, no matter how unhappy I am, no matter how much pressure I feel, I'll forget all of it, and I can't help but want to rely on him … this sort of natural reaction from the heart can never be fake. How can a person who makes people feel at ease and subconsciously wants to rely on be a bad person? "
"On the first day we met, Big Brother Ling Tian gave us such valuable help without any hesitation. We could feel that it was a kind of giving that didn't ask for anything in return. When Heart's Dreams was first established, even though we were dragging them down, Big Brother Ling Tian always took us with him. He was never dissatisfied, nor did he ask to leave. When we needed Big Brother Ling Tian, or when we were bullied, no matter where you were or how far away you were, you would immediately put down everything you were doing and come to our side. Because of Big Brother Ling Tian, Heart's Dreams, which we thought would be very, very small, became the number 1 guild on the Rankings. Being number 1 on the Heaven Rankings was something that belonged to our Heart's Dreams … there was a lot of glory that we didn't even dare to think about before, and all of this was brought to us by Big Brother Ling Tian. It was all because of Big Brother Ling Tian's hard work. All we did was enjoy this glory and glory under Big Brother Ling Tian's wings. We never gave Big Brother Ling Tian anything, and we didn't even do anything for Heart's Dreams … "
"Big Brother Ling Tian, you definitely don't know, but even though we didn't know each other for a long time, your image in our hearts had already surpassed everything else …"
"Facing the Yan Huang Alliance alone, easily defeating the Sword Emperor alone, obtaining number 1 on the Rankings, and making Heart's Dreams number 1 in all of Hua Xia … At that time, we all felt like we were dreaming … such a person actually existed … and was by our side … working hard with us … working hard with us … working hard with us … working hard with us … working hard with us …"
"That night, I thought that it would be the most terrifying nightmare of my life. However, a person descended from the sky and saved me from that nightmare. When he saved me, in order to prevent me from getting hurt, he used his body to protect me from falling to the ground … he used his gentle voice to comfort me. He was afraid that I would be scared by myself, so he stayed with me until dad and aunty arrived … afraid that I would catch a cold, so he put his clothes on me and silently left. He didn't leave behind his name, and even hid his voice. He only left behind a figure that I would never forget … how could such a person be a bad person! "
"Big Brother Ling Tian is the best, most powerful, most perfect person in the world. He's the only person that I … I think about every day … I won't allow anyone to say that Big Brother Ling Tian is a bad person, even if it's big brother Ling Tian himself!"
After saying so much in one breath, Su 'Er's face was completely red. Ling Chen stared blankly for a long time, and his eyes became hazy. He smiled and said, "I was so cruel … and killed so many people … do you really not care at all?"
Su 'Er lowered her head as she spoke in a soft voice, "All I know is that you're my big brother Ling Tian, and that's enough … even if you're a national fugitive, or someone who has killed many people … even if you're an unforgivably evil person … even if you're a beggar, a thief, or a bandit … I don't care. As long as you're my big brother Ling Tian, you'll always be the perfect person in my heart."
Ling Chen lightly breathed in, and a certain part of his heart felt like it was being hit.
Su 'Er's reply was incredibly similar to Shui Ruo's …
"In that case, what if I like many girls at the same time … not only do I want to protect Su Su, but I also want to protect many … many other girls … Su Su definitely wouldn't like such a terrible person, right?" Ling Chen asked with a complicated expression.
"Big brother … big sister Dia Wu … she likes you so much … she doesn't like you any less than I do … for you … she's done so much … big brother, you have to find her and be with her forever …
"And also Qi Qi and Su Su. They're so cute, so kind, so pretty … they're good enough for big brother. Moreover … they all like big brother. Big brother can't give them … to other people. Big brother will definitely like such good girls … you have to snatch them and bring them to your side … as well as big sister Bing Yao. "
This was the first of the three requests that Shui Ruo had made for him before she had left. She had also made a decision for him in his heart. It was Shui Ruo's departure that caused Ling Chen to understand how wonderful it was to be able to have and watch someone else. As such, no matter what, he couldn't let them down … even if it was selfish, even if it was against his morals, he couldn't let go.
After saying this, Su 'Er remained silent for a long time.
Ling Chen felt incredibly nervous. He knew that no woman would want their other half to have other women. Moreover, Su 'Er's background was so noble, and she was one in a million. How could such a proud daughter of the heavens …
Just as Ling Chen was about to speak, Su 'Er softly said, "Big brother Ling Tian, did you know … Qi Qi also secretly likes you. After being with you for a long time, that fatal attraction is something that we can't resist. However, Qi Qi's health isn't good, and she thinks that she doesn't deserve love. She thinks that she doesn't deserve you, and is afraid that if you also like her … she'll make you sad for her. Qi Qi is my best sister, and was the first to know that she liked big brother Ling Tian. She was also the first to know that I liked big brother Ling Tian, but neither of us said it out loud … When we were young, we swore that we would be good sisters for life …
"Also, Qi Qi and I both knew that big brother Ling Tian's heart belonged to someone else. Ruo Ruo wasn't big brother Ling Tian's little sister, but big brother Ling Tian's undying lover. Even though we understood all of this, Qi Qi and I still couldn't let big brother Ling Tian's shadow fade from our hearts. "
Su 'Er raised her head, her face slightly red as she gave an extremely moving smile, "Back then, we often foolishly thought that if big brother Ling Tian was a playboy, and also fell in love with my Qi Qi, then domineeringly took us to his side like he did with the Yan Huang Alliance … how wonderful would that be? That way, big brother Ling Tian and Ruo Ruo wouldn't be separated, and we could stay together with big brother Ling Tian. Qi Qi and I could be sisters for life. However, that was just our fantasy … a fantasy that we could never achieve. "
"So beautiful fantasies really do come true." Su 'Er's face was as red as a pomegranate. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but she was happily laughing.
Ling Chen stared in shock. This was a reply that he never would have expected. He had thought that there was only one silly girl like Shui Ruo in the world, and that Shui Ruo's' foolishness' was because she loved him so much that she gave up her position and dignity to indulge him, because she didn't want him to have any regrets. As for Su 'Er … she was just as silly.
"Su Su …" Calling out Su 'Er's name, Ling Chen felt incredibly moved, and was speechless.
"I, Su 'Er … hope that big brother Ling Tian can stay by my side forever. This is my answer to big brother Ling Tian's question, and also … the wish that I want to fulfil. " Su 'Er placed her hands in front of her chest as she smiled. Her soft voice contained traces of happiness as she looked at him with her starry eyes, "Then, big brother Ling Tian, are you willing to fulfil this wish of mine?"
"Of course I'm willing!" Ling Chen decisively replied. At this moment, how could he possibly say anything else?
"Then … let's pinky swear." Su 'Er, who was enveloped in warmth, smiled beautifully as she raised her arm and stretched out her right pinky, "This is a promise for life, and no one can go against it."
Ling Chen also smiled as he stretched out his pinky and hooked it with Su 'Er's … from gently, to tightly.
The moonlight outside the window wasn't very bright, but Su 'Er felt that the night sky had never been so beautiful before … it was so beautiful that she wanted to lose herself in it and never wake up.
