Chapter 16: This world should burn

He saw a strange scene in the mirror.

He could see a woman. She had clear blue eyes that matched quite well with Xu Liang's deep blue eyes. She possessed a small nose and slender eyebrows. Her hair was sunrise gold, which fell over her shoulders. 

She looked almost identical to Yue, but she looked to be somewhat older. She looked like she was in her late twenties. She was wearing a white dress that looked pretty substandard quality. The dress looked somewhat worn out.

The girl stood in front of a blackboard. There were some characters written on the board but Xu Liang couldn't understand their meaning. All these characters looked completely foreign to him.

There were some kids sitting in front of her. It seemed like she was teaching those kids as she occasionally pointed towards the characters on the board.

Everything was going smoothly until the direction of the wind suddenly changed.

A large ball of fire came out of nowhere and landed where the kids were seated while a large blast occurred.

The whole area was filled with smoke and Xu Liang found it hard to see clearly.

As the smoke cleared, Xu Liang was finally able to see things clearly, but what he saw shocked him to his core.

The whole place was left in carnage and the burnt bodies of the kids were all over the place, lying lifelessly.

Xu Liang was finding it hard to watch such a gruesome scene, but he held on. He looked through the place and finally saw the blonde girl.

The girl was lying at some distance from the area of impact. It looked like she was thrown off by the impact of the blast, but other than a few burn marks on her hands and shoulders, she looked fine.

She just sat there as she looked at everything with a blank expression on her face. She couldn't understand if she was awake or having a terrible nightmare.

As she stayed there, tears began appearing in her eyes. 

Suddenly someone's laughter resounded in the area.

"Hahaha... You have really grown stronger brother Min. Your 'Burning Meteorite' attack was pretty good. No wonder this skill is considered so strong,  but I'm still stronger." 

"Oh man, I missed you by a little. I wanted to see if your Iron Giant Body was actually indestructible like I had heard. Hehehe,  Brother Wen, why don't you stay there and let me hit you?" 

The girl looked towards the voices as she shifted her gaze upwards. There she saw two men who were floating high in the air. One of them had short pitch-black hair while the other one had long red hair that came down to his shoulders. Both these men looked to be in their early twenties.

Both of them were wearing similar yellow clothes with bright red robes as they floated in the sky.

"Why!!!!" She screamed loudly as she gazed at them with hate in her eyes. Tears never once stopped falling from her eyes.

"Hmm?" The black-haired man heard her voice as he looked down.

"Oops... Brother Min, Looks like your attack killed some people down there" The black-haired man chuckled as he gazed at the red-haired man.

"Hahaha... So what if a few insects are killed? It's not like they were of any use to this world." The Red-haired boy known as Min started laughing loudly as he said.

"So... Their lives held no importance???"  The girl asked with a blank look on her face. She couldn't believe that there were people in this world who had such thoughts.

"Exactly... They were worthless insects. Even if hundreds of them died, nothing would change. But you, on the other hand, are different. You are useful to this world. I can't believe there was such a beautiful girl in this world. We should've come here long ago!!!" Min said as a grin appeared on his face. He couldn't help but lick his lips as he gazed at the girl from top to bottom.

"Brother Wen, How about we take some rest here... Flying for so long was quite tiring," Min said to Wen as a grin appeared on his face.

"Hmm... I'm suddenly feeling tired as well. I feel like this is a good place to rest for the night." Wen chuckled as he glanced at the girl on the ground.

"Brother Wen, Can I have her first? I will give her to you after enjoying her for a few hours"  Min smiled as he said to Wen.

"Hey...I saw her first! I will have her first! You can have her second." Wen shook his head as he denied Min's request.

" We found her because of my attack. If my 'Burning Meteorite' hadn't fallen here, we wouldn't have stopped here. Alright, how about it? I'll give you two divine crystals if you let me have her first." Min said suddenly as glanced at Wen with a serious gaze.

"Hmmm... But she is so beautiful. She is like the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Fine, I'll have her second, but only if you give me 5 divine crystals." 

"Five divine crystals??? Have you gone mad??? Have you forgotten the worth of one divine crystal? "

"Hey, it's a deal or no deal. I wouldn't mind fighting you to have her first."

Min shifted his gaze between Wen and the girl as he finally made a decision.

"Alright! I'll give you five divine crystals!" He finally let out with clenched teeth.

"Sweet... Go take your prize. I will collect the crystals when we are back. Also, don't make me wait for long. You have three hours to have your fun with her." Wen said with a smirk.

Min and Wen both slowly came down from the sky and finally landed on the ground near her.

The girl was sitting there with an expressionless face. She heard everything they said but the only thing that was floating through her mind was their statement about the kid's life being worthless.

"I heard from the villagers that this world was cruel but I never believed such things... The villagers were so sweet, how could such a world be evil? How could such a world be cruel where the people are so nice. But was I too naive? Is this the reality of humanity? The reality of this world? People like you get to decide who lives and who dies? If this world is as such, then this world should die ... It should burn!!!" The blonde hair girl said as tears fell from her eyes, but her tears weren't normal. These were tears of blood. 

"Huh... If she is already this broken, I wonder what she will be like after we have our fun with her the whole night." Min chuckled as he glanced at Wen with a grin. He turned back and began walking towards her.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" The girl suddenly began screaming as she grabbed her head. It was as if she was going through intense pain.

Xu Liang was shocked as he recognized this scene. It looked similar to what happened to Yue. Yue also screamed as she grabbed her head before going unconscious.

Suddenly a large burst of wave emerged from her and moved away with her at the center.
