56 CHAPTER 56 : ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME?

In the capital, a lady in yellow is throwing tantrum again.

"How could she just disappears?! You better don't lie to this miss!", she shouted. She had hired several men to kidnapped Li Xi Rui again. But who would have thought, as soon as she leave the restaurant this evening, she disappeared into nothing.

"Miss, please calm down, that bitch really just disappeared in the alley. Perhaps, she had been taken by some other men?", the maid tries to pacify her miss.

"If that was the case, then that would be great! Let her be defiled by countless men till even her own father couldn't recognize her anymore! Let her be dirtied by those dogs! Then, the second prince won't like her anymore!", the lady in yellow laughed. The laughter is screeching like the sound of a dying chicken.

"Yes Miss, that slut surely has been defiled!", the maid could only wished for it to be true. Won't this crazy lady become crazier if that was not the case?. This crazy lady she serves has been obsessed with the second prince ever since she saw him. When the lady noticed how the second prince paid more attention towards Li Xi Rui, she had been enraged. The miss- losing her mind day after day. She could only pray so they wouldn't get caught. If such a day arrived, then, no one knew what the second prince would do to them.

"Who are you?", Li Xi Rui asked Long Jie. Why did they call him sect master? Isn't he the second prince of the Qi kingdom?

Long Jie turned his body facing upward. He keeps his silence in contemplation. "Let her know you", Rui Sheng had said. Maybe, he really does need to tell her his real identity. Gripping his fist, he starts telling his story. Story about how his family was wiped out.

His father, the former sect master of the phantom sect died protecting his family. He died protecting Rui Sheng and him. He died after sending Rui Sheng somewhere unknown and Long Jie to the emperor. His father, the former sect master was a high level cultivator. But in one night everything turned to dust.

Only Rui Sheng with his abilities remembers the whole thing. While him, living in the palace with cunning women and their children suffered emotionally. After Rui Sheng found him, Long Jie starts to cultivate. When he turned 16, he founded the Qilin sect. Day after day, the sect becomes stronger and fearsome. He vowed to revenge his family. That is the sole reason the existence of the Qilin sect. He being the second prince is just a disguise. A disguise he assumed to protect his identity.

Finished telling his story, he turned to her. "Are you afraid of me?", he had expected Li Xi Rui to run. But all he saw a cunning smile on her face. 'Isn't she afraid of him?', he thought.

"Why should I be afraid? I have your child. Surely you wouldn't kill me just because of me knowing your identity?", she asked him back. Isn't this just perfect? She needed someone to protect her family. Since Long Jie would become one, wouldn't it be better for him to possessed this much power?

Speechless, Long Jie tries to read Li Xi Rui's mind. Chuckling, he let his laughter filled the room. Li Xi Rui is truy different from everyone else. This is the woman he had come to love. The unexpected Li Xi Rui.

"I will give you whatever you want. So, let's get married", he finally smile. He can give her time to fall in love with him. Even if she didn't, he would be happy just staying by her side.

"En. I don't need anything besides my family's safety. Since my family would become yours, won't you help me to protect our family? And of course our little bun too", she caressed her belly.

Long jie smile, "En". Her family is now his family too. Their little child will be born in the future too. Isn't that what he had been longing for? A family? So, he smiles for their future.
