Gone

"Ugh. Cough–"

Li Wei cough out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that Ora is about to strike that adorable old man. She tried all she could to run towards their direction.

Queen Azillah never thought that Li Wei would be stab in front of her eyes.

When she saw her figure leaving, she tried to stop her but all she could grab is the air.

Li Wei was stab in front of Old Man Cheng!

Her blood soak her white robe so terrifyingly fast. Li Wei smiled when she saw that that the white rose she embroidered in the clothes became vividly red.

The weapon Ora used was a studded metal fist. Visciously glaring at Old Man Cheng.

"Ora!!!!" Azillah watch, flying into rage.

"Why are you so angry? She'll die anyway." Ora replied coldly and retract her staff that can actually turn into different kinds of weapons with just a thought. After that, Li Wei's body slump into kneeling, falling into Old Man Cheng arms.

"Anyway, I did this all for you." Ora whisk the blood by swinging her staff.

"I didn't want it to be like this. I want her home, alive."

"Wei er..." Old Man Cheng said as he hugged the body of the little girl. He wasn't able to react. It happened again...in front of him.

"Old Man...are you okay?"

The corner of Old Man Cheng's eyes watered. He looked at his bloodied hands that touch Li Wei's back.

"Why...?"

No answer.

Thank God you're okay. Li Wei's thoughts.

"Master...Thank you for caring on us for this few short moments." Her voice low and breathing shallow.

"There's only one thing that makes me wanna stay. I have friends here. Just like them, I wanted to see whats more in this world." Li Wei's scrunch up her nose. Tears threatening to fall. "But it would not be possible anymore. I'm leaving.

Master, take care of them for me, will you?"

"I can't fight forever because I'm weak. Please send my goodbyes to them. To Meimei and Feng An. Tell them don't cry. Tell them not to follow me. Tell them to continue living her." Li Wei took the small crystal ball from her pocket and secretly slid them to Old Man Cheng's outer robe pocket.

"Meeting all of you...I have absolutely no regrets."

SNAP–

"Let's go. It's over." Ora said as she whip the vines through Li Wei's waist and flew towards the portal. But before that, for the last time, Li Wei showered the area with white roses. She smiled brightly at old man Cheng while she's been taken away. After that, her body curled up like a baby fetus.

Old Man Cheng didn't bother to appreciate the flowing petals and had not looked at the long wounds on his chest as he tried to follow, but was stop by Azillah.

"Stop what you're doing. If you follow. I'll kill you." Unexpectedly her voice is gentle and calm, after that she turn around and followed Ora.

The dark passage became smaller and smaller. However, before it closes, a flash of light emerge and a small furry figure fall from the sky.

"Master!!!" It screams.

"Master!!! Why did you break our contract. Why did you not let me out!" It rose angrily while transforming into a 5 year old handsome child.

"I can lend you some strength. But you never listen." Fu Lin sat on the ground. Helpless and weak. Thinking that her master must have suffer backlash by forcefully breaking their contract.

"If you had agree to let me out. I will accept that I'll be forever in my beast form." His small figure trembled.

"Its okay if I can't morphed into Human anymore, as long as I can help. But you coldly rejected me."

He cannot believe that his hard headed master of his, is gone.

Old man Su pierce the heart of the beast in front of him. When the sky turns dark, all those mythical vicious beasts crawled from their home and tried attacking the protective shield. He had felt that a dark aura earlier. And when he look at the Mythical Forest, he saw it envelope in fire. Thus, he immediately run towards the forest.

But what greeted him, was Old Man Cheng seating blankly on his own. The youths bleeding unconscious.

"Old Man Cheng." He called out. Cheng Ki did not reply straightly.

He was just looking at the crystal ball that rolled out from his pocket.

The rose as dark as blood, just like the rose in Li Wei's robe.

"Old Man Su...you come late." Old Man Su finally open his mouth.

"Cheng Ki..."

"She's gone, Su Chen. She's gone just like that. Those people were so powerful. I cannot do anything. My girl disciple has been taken away." He cried.

"Come on. We have to treat you a different this children."

"Just like that day. In front of me. It was the same feeling when my only daughter died in front of me."
