545: Ning Bi Dies

“No! You can’t hurt Ning Bi! She’s innocent!” Wan Cheng, who had been stunned by the sudden turn of events, finally came to his senses when Shui raised the sword in hand. He had to protect Ning Bi.

He looked at Shui like she was a crazed murderer. Anyone who didn’t know the full story would have thought the victims were the perpetrators and the perpetrators the victims.

“Shut up you fool! Are you purposefully trying to harm the entire family?!” The head of the Wan family couldn’t bear it anymore. He walked over and directly knocked Wan Cheng unconscious before dragging him away. Wan Wan followed close behind.

With the person blocking her way gone, Shui’s eyes filled with killing intent and she raised her sword.

Feng Wu stood behind the crowd and watched the entire thing as though it had nothing to do with her.

Ming Xi, who was holding Feng Wu’s hand, frowned slightly as he watched. In all honesty, he wanted to kill the woman with his own hands for daring to use Feng Wu as a sacrifice, but he decided to remain silent and not interfere.

Ai Lin stood next to Feng Wu watching the show with relish. She didn’t expect, despite the disruption, that things would still end as they were originally written in the novel.

Like this Wan Cheng fool, according to the original plot, he still believed in Ning Bi even after everything was revealed. His love was so all consuming that he even betrayed his family. But a pity, it was destined to be a one-sided love.

Even when facing certain death, the only person Ning Bi wanted to be with was her beloved fiancé. Wan Cheng willing to die with her and stay forever by her side didn’t move her at all. In fact, she didn’t feel he even had the qualifications to die with her. The only person she wanted to die with was her beloved fiancé.

Wan Wan ended her friendship with Ning Bi once she learned the truth. She knew Ning Bi only kept her brother around because he was a free and loyal bodyguard not because she had him in her heart or even cared about him.

Wan Wan didn’t want her brother to fall into Ning Bi’s trap, so she went and reported Ning Bi’s hiding place to the Qui family.

Wan Cheng hated Wan Wan for doing it. He pretended to understand then deliberately got close to her and killed her.

Although the incident caused a huge uproar, less than a third of the chapter was used to explain the situation with the Wan siblings.

But since the Wan family head intervened, the fate of the brother and sister should be different right? At least Wan Wan shouldn’t die.

Ai Lin didn’t dislike the girl and had thought it was a pity when the girl died in the original story. She was actually a really nice character.

Shui didn’t waste time. While Ai Lin was thinking all this, she had already killed Ning Bi by stabbing her in the chest, through the heart. She didn’t even give Ning Bi much time to scream.

The days of hellish thunder and lightning were finally over! Shui could see the sun again! She was so relieved she burst into tears right after stabbing Ning Bi.

With Ning Bi dead, everything was settled. The stars shone bright and clear in the night as the gentle glow of the moon illuminated the sky. There wasn’t a single thunder to be heard or lightning to fear.

Shui was moved to tears as she stood under the moonlight. She had survived... really survived.

...

Ming Xi stayed at the Feng estate accompanying Feng Wu for a week and now it was time for him to return to the Ancient Silver Moon Kingdom. There was paperwork to be completed and officials to meet.

Feng Wu and Ai Lin returned to school after Ming Xi left. The new semester would start again soon. . .

“Have you heard? A student with high status is going to come here to audit some classes!”

“What? Who? Is it a princess?”

“Not a princess but might as well be. It’s the Moon empress’s niece!”

“What? The empress’s niece? What a lofty background.”

“Right? I heard the empress is going to marry her to the Moon kingdom’s heir.”

“Wait, then doesn’t that mean she’s going to be the next Moon empress?”

“Exactly! The future Moon empress is coming. We have to go see. Once she marries the heir of the Moon kingdom, we won’t be able to see her easily like this!”

“Then what are we waiting for?! Let’s go! Let’s go!”

“Don’t rush. She won’t be here until the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh. Hey, there’s something I don’t understand. The Moon kingdom has their own academy right? Why does she have to come to our school just to audit classes?”

“Maybe she just has a thing for Xingguang Holy academy? How would I know?!”

Jier’s face was livid as he passed the two speakers. “Future Moon empress?! What the hell?!”

Jier was angry. A betrothal? That jerk! If he hadn’t planned on marrying Feng Wu, why did he start? Jier's thoughts turned malicious. If Ming Xi dared to abandon Feng Wu, he was going to use Red Lotus and burn all Ming Xi’s hair!

“Xiao Wu! Have you heard that guy Ming Xi is going to marry another woman!” Jier angrily said when he found Feng Wu.

Feng Wu was sitting under a tree with Little Bun on her lap as they shared a popsicle. It was another of Zi Cheng’s creations. The popsicle was cold and refreshing and had become popular and was a hit across the entire continent.

Feng Wu enjoyed eating it and had been buying one every day to share with Little Bun.

“Ming Xi wants to marry someone else?” Feng Wu was puzzled when she heard this. Ming Xi had said they would get married after she graduated; he never said anything about wanting to marry anyone else.

Feng Wu carefully thought about their conversations; she was certain Ming Xi had never said anything about it.

She said with a serious face. “No, he did not say that.”

“Would he tell you if he wanted to marry someone else?! He must be doing it secretly! By the time you find out, he’ll already be a father!” It was all conjecture on Jier’s part.

As the future emperor of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom, Ming Xi was destined to ascend to a high position so his wedding would naturally be a major event. It was impossible for Ming Xi to secretly marry anyone.
