541: Ning Bi’s Thoughts
“Don’t even think about it, my brother and I don’t believe you. You won’t fool us and you won’t get Ning Bi either. You want to hurt Ning Bi in front of us? Over our dead bodies!”
Wan Wan had known Ning Bi for years and felt she knew Ning Bi very well. She knew that Ning Bi was normally a kind-hearted girl. How could someone like that kill people for selfish reasons? It was the most ridiculous joke she’d ever heard.
Of course, until everything fell apart, Shui had thought she knew Ning Bi too.
If Wan Wan didn’t believe it, then it was even less likely Wan Cheng would believe it. Between his beloved or two men he had never met before, of course he would believe his beloved.
For Wan Cheng, Ning Bi was the kindest and most perfect woman in the world, a beautiful and harmless white rabbit. To convince him Ning Bi could kill people, that was never going to happen anytime soon.
“I don’t know them! I did nothing wrong but they’ve been chasing and trying to kill me! I don’t understand why they would do this to me!” Ning Bi cried pitifully.
Her extremely weak and helpless image tugged at Wan Cheng’s heart. He was distressed just thinking how much pain the two men were causing her. He wished he could kill them and give Ning Bi justice.
“You want to revive your dead fiancé so you were willing to sacrifice seven friends using the Soul Sacrifice array to do it. Because of you, five girls are already dead! The most damning thing is you wanting to use my sister as a sacrifice. I’ll kill you to save her!”
The Wan siblings were confused by what Juntian said. What was he talking about? Sacrifice the souls of seven friends. . . raise a dead fiancé? Could it be. . . ? Though they were stunned for a moment by what Juntian said, they immediately came back to their senses. Unless they saw it with their own eyes, they would never believe Ning Bi could do such a thing.
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ve known Ning Bi for so many years, don’t you think I’d know what she’s like? Don’t go around slandering people!” Wan Wan glared at Juntian and Tian Ya angrily. She didn’t believe a word of what they said. There was no way the pure and kind Ning Bi would do something like that.
“It’s the truth, even if it doesn’t make sense. We’re running out of time.” Tian Ya said.
If it wasn’t for Juntian’s presence, Tian Ya would have lost his patience and made a move ages ago. Why would he stand there for so long without doing anything otherwise?
At this point, Juntian was also out of patience. They were running out of time, and they didn’t know what would happen come nightfall. Would the god of death come for Feng Wu tonight? They had to kill Ning Bi now.
The siblings immediately told the guards to surround Juntian and Tian Ya upon seeing the two were about to make a move. While the guards did that, they escaped with Ning Bi.
As the guards swarmed them, Juntian asked Tian Ya to deal with the guards. He got out and ran in the direction the trio ran off in.
The Wan siblings had wanted to take Ning Bi to their house, but instead of saying anything, Ning Bi ran towards the unpopulated rural area with rough terrain. They offered to take her back to her house, but she refused.
They had no choice but to accompany her into the woods and just hope they could lose their pursuers there.
Wan Cheng had never fought against them before, but he could tell they were strong from their aura. If only one came at them, he might be able to win. But two of them together? Wan Cheng wasn’t sure he could.
Ning Bi made it difficult for the siblings because she wouldn’t go to either the Wan estate or the Ning estate. They couldn’t do anything other than follow her.
Unlike the siblings, who were just following behind her, Ning Bi knew exactly what she was doing. Her best option was to delay capture as long as possible until Shui and Feng Wu died. Once they died, her beloved would return to life.
Ning Bi didn’t care if she had to betray the whole world. As long as he lived, nothing else mattered. She didn’t need friends.
Ning Bi’s mind was very simple; she just never thought how unfair it was to other people, or how harmful it was to the friends who loved her.
She just didn’t care. She had always been the kind of girl where true love was everything. If she lost her true love, then she may as well die.
She had been heartbroken and had intended on killing herself, but ended up finding the death stone instead.
That day, she had gone to the cave to commit suicide. There were too many people at home watching her, so it wasn’t easy to think about dying, but outside it was much easier. She had been in the cave and about to commit suicide when the stone caught her attention and changed her fate.
She didn’t know why, but she felt an inexplicable urge to pick it up when she saw it. The moment she did, a huge amount of information flowed into her head, including what the stone was and how to make the sacrifice array.
She gave up on suicide upon learning she could bring her lover back and made her wish right then and there. Even though she loved her fiancé to the point of madness, she never once thought about using her family for the seven sacrifices.
She had set her sights on Feng Wu and the other girls from the very beginning. The seven of them were friends who cared about her the most after the incident. It was only natural to use such ready-made sacrifices.
Ning Bi had planned everything and got everyone to go to the mountain. Then she led them to the trap she arranged.
She had done so much, and it was obvious the plan would succeed soon. The only two girls left were Shui and Feng Wu, her two close friends from childhood. In fact, she had wanted to secretly send them off to complete the friendship between them. But she didn’t know what went wrong. Her plans were discovered and people began looking for her. She couldn’t let herself be found, otherwise it would be over and her beloved would never come back to life.
The Wan siblings didn’t know what was going on in Ning Bi’s mind. Their only intention was to help Ning Bi escape from Juntian and Tian Ya. They didn’t know their precious friendship was just a tool Ning Bi used to revive her beloved.
