Zhao Xiuying breaking up with her new crush-2

"Zian, you alright? "

The girl leaned forward and took his injured hand in hers, gently patting the place where the injury was. She thought it was just a small wound. How come it was bleeding a lot? She was about to take a closer inspection when her boyfriend took his hand away from her all of a sudden.

Zhang Long Wei adjusted the torn piece of clothes on his injury before answering with an expressionless face.

"Nothing serious. "

Just from the start, Zhang Long Wei came here with a hidden motive- to get this piece of crystal. This is it. This was the only thing he needed to proceed his cultivation. Since his first day here, Zhang Long Wei never got a chance to go down the mountain.

As expected of his puppet general, he really made it in time. He just sent a voice transmission to his general before the four of them reached the emerald jade's foot. At first, he was having doubts whether the general was even alive or not.

That youth.. he really gave his general, one of the most excellent creations of his, a very good beating. The general could not even take form of other formidable demonic beasts. Instead, today, he was here in the form of a little blue bird- something his general who was extremely cautious of his very own image wouldn't do. It seemed like he got very little choice and come meet his master like this after three months of temporary retirement.

Zhang Long Wei knew he should have come here all alone but the situation didn't give him any chance. The barrier had nearly reached its finalizing state and he had very little time left in hand. They were about to finish the " gate" part and if he didn't take a move until then, then the chance was over. It's not that he couldn't destroy the barrier. Well..... given to his current cultivation level, it would be a considerably hard try though. But most of all, Zhang Long Wei just didn't want any more unnecessary troubles.

So, the rest didn't need to be explained. Zhao Xiuying was just in time, starting the shit with him. Thus, he took advantage of it and brought the girl here with an excuse of love matters, also solving the problem on how to avoid suspicion from his senior.

After treating his wound temporarily, Zhang Long Wei glanced at the girl before him. Zhao Xiuying seemed to be discontented a bit. Well, that was expected. Her cool boyfriend who just played a hero-saved-the beauty-role didn't even give her a chance to take care of his injury.

At that time, the girl shifted her gaze from her boyfriend's injury to his eyes. And their eyes met. Zhao Xiuying averted his eyes instantly and lowered her head in shyness. Her discontented mood earlier had gone completely. Maybe it was not that Li Zian didn't want her care. It was more likely to be that he just didn't want to show his weak side before his girlfriend. Yeah....that must be it.

If only she could see what kind of questions were occupying in Zhang Long Wei's head when looking at her right now, the girl might have broken out in tears. Well, let's just wait a bit because it was going to happen anyway.

In fact, Zhang Long Wei was pondering over what to do next with this girl. He initially thought this girl would treat him like the original Li Zian. It would be really troublesome for the great demon because if that were to happen for real, then he had to restrain himself like hell not to take her life. But guess he was wrong. Zhao Xiuying got such a very changeable personality that he even wondered if the girl he was confronting was also possessed by someone else like Li Zian.

Anyway, it would be the best of everything to just get rid of her right now. She seemed to be untrustworthy type considering the fact that she was attracted to him this fast. Easy come, easy go. He didn't need any cheap girlfriend. In truth, he just never needed a partner.

The supreme lord of demons...of course, he could have his own harem with thousands of beauties if he wished to. There were so many ladies out there who had fallen for him. Love at first sight... they called. Granted, his domineering and tyrant character was everyone else's nightmare, but that didn't stop him from capturing flower's hearts.

Yeah, that was undeniable reality. When others people heard of the desease of the great demon lord, the calamity of every beings, they celebrated.Yet at the same time, there were those countless tears fallen for him by flowers who didn't care to get devoured by this fearsome lord.

Unbeknownst to this great lord who was cut off from the outside world in this little desolate place, such things really happened. Well, there was no use to him learning such things either. He never cared anyway.

"Wanna know why I didn't come that day? "

The coquettish Zhao Xiuying was frozen at this question. Just from the tone alone, she could tell it would be nothing good..... nothing good for their relationship. And at this thought, she was stunned.... stunned because she just realized how her own feelings towards this male had changed ....changed very dramatically.

"That day, at the dining hall, I was hoping to hear a word from you.....just a word to ask me if I feel better.... but you ignored me as if I was a trash... like how other people think of me. " Those words were said by Zhang Long Wei with that cold face, crossing his hands across his chest.

Zhao Xiuying put on a pathetic facade and tried to explain. But Zhang Long Wei didn't let her interrupt.

"Listen to me first. I was not joking or eating vinegar right now. You know how I got cursed. You know I sneaked away from the mission..

just to buy you that wanton soup. "

He had to say this although he doubted if the real Li Zian were to be here today, would he even dare to say it out loud?.... to be honest and open about how he had been enduring all along.

"The day I first woke up from the curse...at that time, the one I've been hoping to see the most was you. It would be the happiest of me if I were to catch a glimpse of you that day. But sadly... you didn't come. "

The demon lord here was shamelessly saying such words as though all of these were pure reality. His professional actor mode was fully on. And it was left as a puzzle that how his absent expression right now matched with his words and how it even made the outcome double effective.

"And the day after that, I also wait... but the same outcome. Like this.....three days straight.... I become hopeless. But I convinced myself again that maybe you didn't know.....maybe you didn't know about my recovery. "

Zhao Xiuying was at a loss on how to retort. Even if Zhang Long Wei let her explain, she didn't even know how to. There was no excuse or reason. He was right. She didn't come because she hated to see that bastard. When she heard that Li Zian got cursed and that it was dire, she really felt nothing... not even the slightest guilt.

She needed to give an excuse.... yeah.... an excuse even if it was a lame one that would do. But her useless and nervous brain just refused to cooperate.

"And at the dining hall, I saw you followed my elder brother..... You didn't even spare a glance at me as if I didn't deserve it. I was disheartened for real....and that was when I made up my mind. "

Just after those words, Zhang Long Wei took out his sword, deadly ice blade. Zhao Xiuying was startled at this sudden movement of her boyfriend but then reassured again when she saw Li Zian was just removing a pink sword tassel .....a very feminine colour though. It didn't match with deadly ice blade at all. Why would Li Zian even use it in the first place? But that tassel....rang a bell to her. Where.... where had she seen it?

"Let's break up. "

Shocked, Zhao Xiuying looked at the boy who uttered those words with such an emotionless face, her beautiful eyes wide open. Was she hearing things or was this reality? The boy who once said it would be the end of his world if she left him....if she also abandoned him, was now telling her to break up? Out of the blue, that pink tassel was placed into her hand before she could even react.

"You didn't seem to remember it. Last year, you gave me this tassel at lantern festival. "

Zhao Xiuying looked at the tassel in her hand with complete daze. No wonder this felt familiar to her. How forgetful she was!

"Zian.... wait! "

The girl grabbed Zhang Long Wei's hand in fluster which he shook off immediately.

"Let's stop seeing each other. I don't wanna force you anymore. Let's just stop this unhealthy relationship. You too, I hope you'd get along well with Li Qing. Good luck in chasing your crush. "

Zhang Long Wei waved his hand casually with his back towards her as he walked away in a carefree manner. A droplet of tear streamed down her cheek as Zhao Xiuying looked down at the tassel. Good luck? chase her crush?

Zhao Xiuying didn't know why she let that tear fall or why she was behaving like this. She wiped her tear off quickly before taking a leave. Little did she know that somewhere in her mind she was starting to have a cush on this male. Only after calming herself down and managing her emotions for a while would she be able to recognize her own feeling.
