231 Fighting over Piercer

Nie Zun spoke with no emotion . “There’s no use in you throwing a tantrum here . ”

Putting his hands back into his pockets, he walked away towards one of the water vats .

I pulled on his sleeve . “What do you mean by throwing a tantrum? Return Piercer to me if you’re going to leave . ”

Actually, it did look like I was throwing a tantrum here . But I didn’t care about that . All I knew was that I didn’t want him to disappear right in front of me .

Nie Zun looked at my hand that was on his sleeve . “Piercer is no longer with me . You should be looking elsewhere . ”

I said stubbornly, “You threw it at Cang Ming . I want you to get it back for me . ”

Nie Zun furrowed his brows .

Just when I thought Nie Zun was about to say something to hurt me yet again, Gaoqin Jiuye rushed over and took me into an embrace .

There was a fire in his eyes and he was so quick that I didn’t have enough time to react .

A kiss landed on my lips .

This was the first time Gaoqin Jiuye put his lips against mine .

I was absolutely stunned .

He retreated just as quickly . Looking at me with fiery pa.s.sion, he said, “Let him go . I can help you get Piercer back . Leave everything to me in future . ”

His words seemed to explode right beside my ears .

It was lucky that I was no longer that childish Li Shen, the one who would be bedazzled after a single kiss .

As I tried to calm myself, I stole a glance at Nie Zun, noticing that he had stopped in his tracks . He seemed to be taking note of Gaoqin Jiuye and me .

I looked at Gaoqin Jiuye again . Though his eyes were bright and clear, something seemed to be amiss .

Gaoqin Jiuye was audacious, but he wasn’t someone who acted on impulse . Even though he had confessed to me before, there was no need for him to do this .

Was he doing this to confirm if Nie Zun still had feelings for me?

Was he such a kind individual?

I felt Gaoqin Jiuye’s lips touch mine again .

There was a wet softness to it as his tongue explored my lips .

I couldn’t accept this kiss even if he was really trying to help me .

I stole another glance at Nie Zun before deciding if I wanted to avoid this .

Just when I could almost make out Nie Zun’s expression, something else distracted me .

The source of that distraction came from countless images flas.h.i.+ng past my mind . Coupled with those images were feelings of being helpless and terrified .

I could not focus on Nie Zun’s expression at this point . All I could do was to look into Gaoqin Jiuye’s eyes which were right in front of me .

White fog surged in them and it looked just like he was controlling the air currents around him .

Before I could react, I heard a voice in my head .

“Ah Shen, you have to stab me with this knife if I turn into a devil and lose control someday . ”

“Ah Shen, I’m giving you this knife . Keep it with you at all times . I’ll be waiting for the day when you finally end this . ”

“Ah Shen, I’m giving you this knife . Keep it with you at all times . I’ll be waiting for the day when you finally end this . ”

“I love you, Ah Shen, even if you might find out that I’m not me someday . You aren’t who you thought you were either . Please remember that I, Gao Qi, really loved you . ”

My lips quivered as thousands of voices seemed to appear in my head . Gaoqin Jiuye hugged me harder, and just as my lips were about to be pried open, Nie Zun pulled the two of us apart .

There was a dark killing intent in his eyes . He stood between us as he said in a low voice, “Don’t even think of using whatever I’ve used a second time . ”

He stared at Gaoqin Jiuye sharply .

Gaoqin Jiuye kept his eyes on me . He looked a little exhausted as he spoke . “I don’t care about that . I’m going to take whatever you don’t want . What can you do about it?”

He shot a sharp look at Nie Zun .

Sizzle .

Two blades of air pushed Nie Zun’s hands away, forcing Nie Zun to step backwards .

I retreated a couple of steps as well .

Gaoqin Jiuye looked at me with furrowed brows, as if asking why I stepped back .

None of them knew that I didn’t feel like talking right now, because all my energy was focused on Gao Qi’s words that I had just heard .  What did that mean?

I didn’t even flinch at those hurtful words Nie Zun said as I was too preoccupied with piecing together what I could find in my memories .

In those images, Gao Qi took me in an embrace on the balcony as I felt his lips meet mine with sorrow . His voice seemed to stab right through to my heart as he spoke .

“Ah Shen, you’ll have to kill me if I turn into a devil someday . You have to kill me in exchange for your freedom . You should never go there . ”

As I recalled his words, I looked at Gaoqin Jiuye and asked, “What did Gao Qi know? Just how are the both of you related to each other?”

Gaoqin Jiuye’s eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne . “What do you remember?”

Gaoqin Jiuye’s eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne . “What do you remember?”

I answered immediately, “Are you afraid that I’ll remember?”

“I’ve already explained this to you, haven’t I? I’m the one you loved, not Gao Qi . Gao Qi had fallen in love with you as well, and to protect you, he was ready to give everything up . ”

“What do you mean he was ready to give everything up?”

“It’s…” Cang Ming swung Piercer suddenly before Gaoqin Jiuye could finish .

Crack .

Violet sparks appeared and a violet blade flew towards me .

I’ve never thought that my own weapon would end up attacking me someday .

I raised Scorpion Ray on my left hand .

My brain was on overdrive now .  Why did Cang Ming attack? Was it some secret that he didn’t want me to know? Is this why Cang Ming decided to interfere?

But before I could even ask further questions, I had to win this .

“Scorpion Ray!” I called out . Light condensed in front of me to form a screen .

It shattered like gla.s.s upon contact with the violet blade . With that, the power of the violet blade was reduced as well .

In the smoke and dust, I heard air currents whirling around me .  Had Gaoqin Jiuye been controlling the air currents all this while?

Does this mean that both Scorpion Ray’s and Piercer’s attacks would be affected?

I could see streaks of black amidst the white fog that appeared . The streaks looked like strands of hair floating in the wind .

Looking towards Nie Zun, I realized one of his hands was already outside of his pockets, looking like it was simply resting by his side .

Looking towards Nie Zun, I realized one of his hands was already outside of his pockets, looking like it was simply resting by his side .

I backed away in the chaos .

I couldn’t understand any of them . Though it seemed like I might have the key to breaking this gridlock, I was actually entrapped in it myself .

“I guess there are some things you don’t wish for me to know . ” I smirked at Cang Ming as I said so .  Why else did he attack so suddenly if it wasn’t to prevent Gaoqin Jiuye from speaking?

Piercer was glowing with a violet light as Cang Ming held it in his hand . I stared at Piercer as I focused MF on my thoughts, Come back to me if you don’t want to be used by them . I can help you find Zou An .

I didn’t know if this would work, but I had to try whatever I could think of . Unexpectedly, Piercer seemed to be able to sense my thoughts .

Piercer glowed brightly and Cang Ming’s eyes darkened as he was forced to let go of it .

Now’s the time .

Stretching out my left hand, I created something resembling a whirlpool with my palm . Piercer flew towards it, looking like a purple snake that was flying through the air .

Just as it was about to reach me, a dark mist wrapped itself around Piercer like a pair of gigantic hands .

I reached out in haste to grab Piercer’s end .

A numbing pain shot through my palm all the way to my heart . The drug applied to Piercer was no ordinary one, and it jolted me wide awake as I saw the blood seep out from my palm .

Nie Zun was pulling on Piercer at the other end with his hand that was enshrouded in black mist .

I focused MF onto my hand as I pulled Piercer hard towards me .

Nie Zun was also pulling hard on the other end as we engaged in a fierce tug-of-war with Piercer being pulled taught in the middle .

231 Fighting over Piercer.

Nie Zun spoke with no emotion . “There’s no use in you throwing a tantrum here . ”.
