"Batuk... batuk..."
Wu Yue kembali melontarkan batuk, namun kali ini tanpa setetes darah pun yang keluar. Ia menolehkan matanya yang bening lagi jernih ke arah Shiyun, sementara seulas senyum dingin mengukir di sudut bibirnya. "Shiyun, benarkah kau telah melupakanku? Padahal bertahun-tahun berlalu, aku tak pernah sekalipun mampu melupakanmu. Seandainya bukan karenamu, aku tak akan pernah menanggung begitu banyak penderitaan!"
Saat ini juga, ekspresi Shiyun begitu buruk hingga sulit dipandang. Tubuhnya yang sudah lumpuh di atas tanah tampak bergoyang, melemah, dan kehilangan ruh.
Dia masih hidup! Shiyun murka. Wanita terkutuk itu masih hidup!
Tidak!
Aku tak boleh kalah di sini, setidaknya bukan di hadapan wanita ini.
"Leng Yanfeng, bunuh dia! Aku memerintahkanmu membunuhnya!"
Di antara desir angin yang lembut, Leng Yanfeng berdiri terpaku bagar akar, seolah tak mendengar ucapan Shiyun sama sekali. Ia menatap wajah berlumuran darah itu dengan penuh keterkejutan.
Meski wajah wanita itu berselimut darah, ia tetap tak bisa menyembunyikan matanya yang bening lagi jernih.
Betapa banyak mimpi yang pernah kumiliki, pikirnya, di mana mata itu muncul di depanku, membuat jantungku berpacu lebih cepat dari sebelumnya...
Tak heran...
Pantas saja, meskipun Junior Sister Shiyun tampak persis seperti dirinya, mata itu begitu berbeda jika dibandingkan dengan saat kami terakhir bertemu bertahun-tahun silam. Selama ini aku mengira bahwa dia telah berubah seiring berjalannya waktu...
Namun aku tak pernah menyangka bahwa sosok yang menyelamatkanku dari jurang itu adalah wanita lain.
"Apakah... kau?"
Leng Yanfeng terhuyung, penyesalan terpancas jelas di wajahnya yang tampan. Ia mengulurkan tangan ke arah Wu Yue, namun akhirnya membiarkannya jatuh lemah ke sisi tubuhnya.
Aku... telah menggunakan tangan ini untuk menyakiti wanita yang sesungguhnya kucari... barusan saja!
"Leng Yanfeng, apakah kau tak lagi mematuhi perintahku? Bunuh pelacur itu sekarang juga! Cepat, bunuh dia!"
Shiyun tak lagi peduli dengan topengnya dan membentak Leng Yanfeng seperti wanita gila.
Sinar kejam yang haus darah muncul dari balik mata cantiknya. Seolah tak ada yang mampu meredam kebencian di hatinya, meski wanita ini dicabik-cabik hingga mati!
Leng Yanfeng masih tetap tak bergerak. Ia menatap dengan terbengong wajah yang begitu dikenalnya itu, lalu bertanya, "Bertahun-tahun lalu, orang yang menyelamatkanku... Apakah itu kau? Sosok yang menarikku keluar dari jurang yang penuh keputusasaan... Apakah itu kau?"
Wu Yue melirik wajah pucat Leng Yanfeng, lalu menjawab datar, "Lalu mengapa jika aku penyelamatmu, atau bukan? Kau milik Shiyun, maka sudah suratan takdir kau adalah musuhku. Untuk semua luka yang dia timpakan kepadaku, akan kubalaskan dengan setimpal kepada kalian semua."
Kau milik Shiyun. Sudah suratan takdir kau musuhku...
Gumam! / Gemuruh!
Ucapannya bagaikan palu besar menghantam jantung Leng Yanfeng, membuatnya terhuyung mundur. Wajahnya kini pucat bagai hantu. Tiba-tiba ia menghunjamkan tinjunya ke dada Shiyun, seolah telah dilanda kegilaan, dan berteriak dengan murka, "Kau! Mengapa kau membohongiku? Mengapa kau membohongiku???"
Penyesalan, kebencian, amarah, sakit hati...
Chapter 490: Shi Yun’s Demise (5)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Cough, cough."
Wu Yue let out another cough but this time, there was no blood. She turned her clear, limpid eyes toward Shi Yun as a cold smile formed in the corners of her lips, "Shi Yun, have you really forgotten about me? But I’ve never been able to forget you despite the many years. If it weren’t for you, I would never have endured so much suffering!"
At this very moment, Shi Yun’s expression was an exceptionally ugly sight to behold. Her body, already paralyzed on the ground, seemed to wobble, weaken, and lose its spirit.
She’s still alive! Shi Yun fumed. That damned woman was still alive!
No!
I cannot be defeated here, at least not in front of this woman.
"Leng Yanfeng, kill her. I order you to kill her!"
Amidst the gentle breeze, Leng Yanfeng stood silently rooted to the spot as if he did not hear her. He stared in astonishment at that bloodied face.
Even though the woman’s face was covered in blood, it did not conceal her clear, limpid eyes.
How many dreams have I had, he wondered, Where those eyes would appear before mine, sending my heart into a race, faster than ever...
No wonder...
It’s no wonder that even though Junior Sister Shi Yun looked exactly like her, but her eyes were so different in contrast from when we last met all those years ago. All this time, I thought that she had changed along with the passage of time...
But I never thought that the one who had saved me from that abyss was actually another woman.
"Is it you?"
Leng Yanfeng staggered, remorse displayed clearly on his handsome face. He reached his hand out to Wu Yue, but let it fall back weakly to his side in the end.
I... have used this very hand to harm the woman who I’ve truly been searching for... just a while ago!
"Leng Yanfeng, are you no longer listening to my orders? Kill this sl*t immediately. Hurry up and kill her!"
Shi Yun no longer cared about her facade and screamed at Leng Yanfeng like a madwoman.
A cruel, bloodthirsty look appeared from within her beautiful eyes. It was as if nothing could quell the hatred in her heart, even if this woman were drawn and quartered!
Leng Yanfeng still remained motionless, staring dumbfoundedly at that familiar-looking face and asked, "Many years ago, the person who saved me... Was it you? The one who had pulled me out of that abyss filled with hopelessness... Was it you?"
Wu Yue glanced at Leng Yanfeng’s pale face and replied indifferently, "So what if I was your rescuer or if I’m not? You belong to Shi Yun so it is fated that you are my enemy. For all the hurt that she has caused me, I shall return it accordingly to all of you."
You belong to Shi Yun. It is fated that you are my enemy...
Boom!
Her words were like a heavy hammer pounding into Leng Yanfeng’s heart, causing him to stagger back. His face was now as pale as a ghost. Suddenly, he drove his fist into Shi Yun’s chest as if he had flown into madness and screamed furiously, "You! Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me???"
Remorse, hatred, anger, heartache...
All these emotions were now mixed in a bundle within Leng Yanfeng’s heart.
Deep down, in Leng Yanfeng’s heart, Junior Sister Shi Yun had always held a position equivalent to a fairy from the very beginning. He would never hesitate to sacrifice himself for her sake. He was even willing to marry Gu Ruoyun, whom he did not love so that she could be with the man she loved.
Even when he discovered her true colors, he still remained by her side. Even when faced with enemies he could not defeat, he had never faltered, not even once.
And the reason why he had willingly invested so much for her sake was because he had mistaken Shi Yun for the good samaritan who had once saved his life.
Who was also the person who had changed his life!
Yet now, he had suddenly found out that the person he has been holding onto all these years was not Shi Yun at all!
Furthermore, he had ended up hitting and hurting the real person whom he had been searching for, all for the sake of a mistaken identity. How could he possibly accept this?
