The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

It wasn’t the first time that Tang Yiyi felt hatred for Ru. Even when she first saw Ru, she despised her. Her reasoning was simple, she had taken a fancy to Rong but the latter was always caring about Ru. The same Rong who wouldn’t even spare a glance to her would always be looking at Ru with an affectionate look.

It always made her blood boil. But now that Ru was intently reminding her of her status before her, she was beyond infuriated.

\"If my hands weren’t tied, I’d have already torn you into pieces,\" screamed Tang Yiyi with bloodshot eyes. All she saw was blood.

Suddenly, the chains around her body came undone and fell down. She looked at Ru who said, \"I’d like to see how you tear this lord to pieces.\" Ru took a step back and threw her dagger towards her. Tang Yiyi caught it promptly and looked at Ru with furrowed brows, not understanding what she was playing at. \"No one will interfere. How about you take this shot?\"

The smile on Ru’s face which didn’t even look like a smile made Tang Yiyi feel complacent but she wasn’t willing to back off. Not at any cost! \"I’ll make you regret this.\"

Ru shrugged her shoulders in reply, \"My father didn’t teach me the word regret. You can only feel regret when you’re not willing to own up your mistakes and actions. I for one am not a coward. I’m willing to own my mistakes even if it takes me to my grave.\"

A proud smile could be seen on Rong’s face who seemed really relaxed to see those two going at each other’s throats. In fact, he looked really bored as he yawned and whispered, \"I can’t believe she’s still fond of one-sided beatings. Tsk. Tsk. Little Ru and her weird obsessions. It’ll never change.\"

However, he wasn’t lying at all. This fight’s winner was already very obvious. Before Ru’s vicious nature even a sadistic person like Tang Yiyi won’t be able to stand a chance.

As the fight began, Tang Yiyi ran towards Ru with the dagger in her hand but before she could touch Ru, the latter was already nowhere to be seen. Tang Yiyi’s eyes widened as she felt a breath behind her before she felt pain in her calf as he fell down on her knee. Tang Yiyi tried to swing the dagger but was shocked to learn that her hands were empty.

As the silver dagger swung before her eyes, Tang Yiyi stared at Ru who was smiling like a Cheshire cat at this point. \"You should be careful,\" said Ru as she dropped the dagger before Tang Yiyi once again before taking a step back.

Tang Yiyi stood up and wildly attacked Ru who simply dodged every attack. As the dagger was pointed at her face, Ru turned her face sideways a little before holding Tang Yiyi’s forearm and said, \"I thought you’re strong. Fight with your brain, don’t just attack me like a brute. Otherwise, this will really be a boring fight.\"

Tang Yiyi’s feathers were thoroughly being ruffled by Ru’s words. And instead of trying to fight wisely, she was losing all of her rationality. Without seeing or knowing what she was doing, she kept swinging her arms and legs, but she couldn’t even touch Ru’s shadow. Having gone back and forth for the last ten minutes, Ru’s patience ran out as she simply clenched her fist and punched straight at Tang Yiyi’s ribs making her cry out in pain.

Holding her wrist, she twisted it and the dagger fell down from Tang Yiyi’s grip. \"You’re not even worthy of this young master’s time.\" With that, the sound of bones breaking could be heard along with Tang Yiyi’s ear-piercing screams of pain. Her wrist was broken or more like crushed by Ru without even a flinch.

Seeing how Ru’s two fingers were moving towards Tang Yiyi’s vital point, Rong’s figure moved as he held her hand in time saying, \"We still need to keep her alive.\"

Ru’s bloodthirsty look was eased up when she glanced at Rong’s face who calmly dissuade her from doing something irreversible. Ru nodded her head before she picked up the dagger and slashed Tang Yiyi’s face without any hesitation. She didn’t even care if the blood was painting her own hands, face or clothes. She was like a madman engrossed in her viciousness.

\"Tell me where is Yuan!\"

Tang Yiyi’s reply were her blood-curdling screams. Except for her screams, her resolve didn’t break at all. Her lips were sealed as if no matter what, she won’t give in to Ru’s demands.

\"Tell me the location or else I’ll really tear off your skin,\" saying that Ru didn’t hesitate before really slicing the skin off her shoulder.

This bloody scene didn’t do anything to Ru but Rong’s expressions were complicated. He had never seen Ru using bloody means to achieve her goal. Torturing someone physically? That was way below her. But he figured that she must be using these bloody means to let off some steam. However, it still didn’t sit well with him.

Tang Yiyi fainted because of the pain that she couldn’t endure and Ru shook her shoulders trying to shake her awake. \"Hey, wake up! Tell me what you did with Yuan?\"

Rong placed his hand on Ru’s shoulder and said, \"She won’t answer like this. As you said, she’s a dog. And dogs are very loyal to their owner. She won’t spit out any information for you.\" He took a pause to wave his subordinates to wake that miserable self of Tang Yiyi before adding, \"By the way, when did you learn to talk so much? If I remember correctly, you always said that you’d let your fists talk rather than your tongue. Then how come you’re using your poisonous tongue so carelessly today?\"

Ru glanced at Rong and said, \"Living in wolves, one learns to howl. There is nothing to be surprised about that.\" Saying that she closed her eyes to calm her raging storm of emotions before saying, \"Besides, even if a dragon learns to howl like a wolf, it’ll still not lose its might.\"

Rong’s lips lifted up in a small smile at her words before he shook his head at her saying, \"I have no problem with this dragon howling, but I certainly don’t want this dragon to act like a street thug.\" Ru raised her brow at him as he continued, \"Torturing is way below you, young master Ru. Getting your hands dirty with blood is not the only solution in life.\"

As Ru figured the hidden meaning behind his words, she smiled. Indeed, she really had no reason to get her hands dirty with someone’s blood.
