Chapter 3 – Broken soul

Feng Lingxi reached out and patted her on the back. She was about to comfort her, but suddenly felt the air behind her moving. She wanted to change her position. However, because Xie Li held her too tightly, she couldn’t move without using internal force, which would hurt Xie Li. So, she had to dodge with her.

But this time her hand slipped. Her back arched in pain as something sharp hit her. She knew it was a silver needle, and it was poisoned.

Her senses had always been very high. She had made a mistake thinking that Xie Li wouldn’t shoot her. At that moment, she even suspected that she was the one who had shot down the shadow guard, who was currently lying faint on the ground.

After all, the shadow guards were from the Feng clan. It was not impossible to rely on them. It could only be said that she had misjudged.

She really misjudged the person. Not the Shadow guard, but rather her own friend.

“Why?” Feng Lingxi leaned against the wall to prevent herself from falling down. Her face was calm and cold, like ice.

The poison was too strong. She felt cold and numb all over her body. If it wasn’t for her skills, she would have already died right away after getting poisoned. In fact, she didn’t attach much importance to life and death. She always lived at will and did whatever she wanted to do. So even if she lost her life at the next moment, she wouldn’t regret anything.

But currently, she had been betrayed by her only friend. she felt very stupid. She always judged people accurately. She didn’t want to get deceived by her closest friend. Was it because her judgement of people had faded, or was Xie Li’s mask too good?

Xie Li’s face was pale and her eyes were tearful. She looked even worse than Feng Lingxi, the poisoned person with the blank look.

“Why?” With these three words repeated in dismay, Xie Li suddenly became hysterical. “Why? Why? Do you ask me? Because I love him, I will die without him! No, not death, life is better than death!”

After her outburst, the crazy expression suddenly changed again. Her face was full of pain. She shook her head and cried, “I’m sorry, Lingxi, I’m sorry, I’m selfish. I can’t lose him. Why? Why didn’t you listen to me? If you would just marry someone, I wouldn’t have done that to you.”

Feng Lingxi’s eyes darkened. She was in a trance, as she couldn’t figure out who the person Xie Li was talking about. How could she not know that Xie Li had someone she liked? And that person had something to do with herself.

“Haha…” A burst of laughter came. Feng Lingxi closed her eyes, and opened them again to see clearly the person who came in. She looked at Xie Li’s reaction which was full of joy but also panic, instantly she realized the situation.

Ah… It was just another game of power struggle, but this time she was the loser.

Xie Li was just a chess piece. How can someone like Feng Lingtian fall in love with a woman?

It was no wonder that Xie Li had such a strong poison. Feng Lingxi knew that she had miscalculated this time. She was afraid that she couldn’t escape death. She had some regrets in her heart. In her next life, even if she was lonely, she would never make friends again.This lesson taught her that the more simple a person was, the easier it was to be used. She would remember that.

Xie Li didn’t think that Feng Lingtian would appear here, and see what she did. For a while, she was in a panic. She wanted to explain, but she couldn’t find the words initially.

It was Feng Lingxi’s half-brother, Feng Linxi’s brother, who was from the same father and different mothers. Although Feng Lingxi was a woman, her abilities were higher than Feng Lingtian’s. The old man also intended to pass the leader role on to her. Wouldn’t Feng Lingtian give up on the matter?

Feng Lingxi was cautious, and her ability and methods were all present. That’s why it wasn’t easy for him to deal with her. Xie Li was his only hope. Now it seemed that he had gone too far!

Xie Li didn’t notice the excitement in Feng Lingtian’s eyes and said eagerly, “Lingtian, I didn’t mean to do that. She’s your sister, your sister, you can’t…” Because she was too frightened, her words were incoherent. The plan of Feng Lingtian was understandable.

Now he couldn’t help but sneer. At this time, this silly woman thought that he really loved his sister? He was just taking advantage of the woman’s jealousy.

He knew how to deal with women. He had already got the heart of Xie Li and left her crazy for him.

What couldn’t women mad in love do?

Feng Lingxi didn’t know that Xie Li had a person she liked, because Feng Lingtian told Xie Li not to let her find out. First, once Feng Lingxi knew, the plan would fail. Second, Xie Li would think that he told her not to because of his affection for Feng Lingxi. So, he didn’t want to let her know and successfully aroused the jealousy in Xie Li’s heart.

Feng Lingtian was in a good mood now. He didn’t care about Xie Li’s tears. He reached for her face and touched it. He laughed, “Xie Li, although you are average in appearance, for the sake of your great achievements this time, when I am the master of the house, I will take you to warm my bed.”

“Wh…What? ” Xie Li was unable to react. She realized that Feng Lingtian was not angry at her, and felt relieved. But when she heard the word “warm bed”, she was somewhat confused.

Because of her relationship with Feng Lingxi, she knew that in such an ancient family as Feng Jia, it was perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in his family. The so called bed warmer was an unknown woman, just a tool for a man to vent their **, nothing else. Even their children, wouldn’t be recorded in the genealogy, or given the father’s surname.

Feng Lingxi did not want to marry because she saw a lot of that happening. That’s why unlike other women, she had no expectation of the so-called love at all.

“Didn’t you say you would marry me?” Once Feng Lingtian told her that although he loved Feng Lingxi, their relationship was impossible, so he would rather marry her.

The reason why she was that way with Feng Lingtian was because she loved him too much. She was unable to tolerate his heart being occupied by another woman. Most importantly, she knew that Feng Lingxi was different from the ordinary people. She was afraid that one day Feng Lingxi would tell her that she accepted Feng Lingtian. In that case, Feng Lingtian’s promise to her would be shattered. She would lose not only the heart of Feng Ling-tian, but she couldn’t even get him.

Xie Li really regarded Feng Lingxi as her best friend. Otherwise, she couldn’t be accepted as Feng Lingxi friend. But in her heart, love was more important than friendship.

She couldn’t bear the uneasy feeling. So when Feng Lingxi once again walked away from her blind date, she couldn’t help thinking that the reason behind it was because she already had Feng Lingtian in her heart. The more she thought of it at that time, the more frightened she was. So in the end, she decided to be a hard-hearted killer.

Love really made her lose reason.

She thought with killing Feng Lingxi, even if Feng Lintian couldn’t forget about her, he would still marry her. But he never wanted to declare such a thing.

“Lingtian, are you angry that I killed her? I didn’t mean to, I was just too afraid of losing you…”

“Haha…” Feng Lingtian laughed again. This woman was so stupid that she made people laugh. He didn’t understand why his smart sister became friends with such a woman. “Do you really think I like Feng Lingxi? I wish her death. If she is dead, the Feng house will be mine. Now you are the greatest hero, so I will give you a chance to warm up my bed. Otherwise, do you think I will look at you, you who has such an appearance? “

“No… That’s a lie… ” Xie Li shook her head with a pale face and refused to believe such cruel facts.

When Feng Lintian looked at her, he couldn’t help but feel regretful. Such a stupid and unattractive woman was really a humiliation to his identity. He was about to say something again. Suddenly, his heart ached, the expression on his face couldn’t help but stiff. He turned his head slowly and his eyes were full in disbelief.

How was that possible? How can Feng Linxi who suffered from the poison able to kill him?

But no matter how he didn’t believe it, his life won’t cease. He can only blame himself for being happy too early.

“Cough…” With one move made by Feng Lingxi, she spat out a mouthful of black blood from her mouth, which could not be sustained any more. Before closing her eyes, she saw the falling body of Feng Lingtian and the expression of pain in Xie Li’s eyes.

No one ever planned against her without paying the price. No one ever betrayed her and could be safe from her. But now she had no strength to settle it with Xie Li. Anyway, Feng Lingtian’s words and his death was the best punishment for her.

She really felt that she had died in a bad way!
