Chapter 179 - Breaking Through (1/2)
Bai Lei looks at Nova with heart-wrenching pain. He keeps his face blank but he's struggling to keep control. She looks so different... still as beautiful as always but her eyes don't seem to recognize him at all. There's nothing... not even a flicker of emotion in those solid black eyes.
This bastard has her like a puppet... Bai Lei grinds his teeth in anger as he tries to remember to breathe. He knows this man has his hand around Nova's neck as a threat so he remains still as he tries to find a way to separate them.
He doesn't care how far gone she is... he'll bring her back and keep her safe so this never happens again. He glares at the Under Realm King and says ”Release my woman.” The man chuckles and says ”Your woman? Take a closer look mighty deity, the woman is mine now.” Bai Lei goes to step forward but the King quickly says ”No, none of that.”
~~~~~~
His hand slips around to the side of my neck with a large push of power. I lean into him as I watch Bai Lei come to a stop. Bai Lei grits his teeth and lifts his hand out to me and says ”Come to me, little star.” Something flashes across my eyes at the nickname he's always called me, and it doesn't go unnoticed by him.
”Come to me, Nova.” He says again but Jiang releases more power making me shudder. It's the purest dark energy I've ever had. Bai Lei's face hardens when he sees what Jiang's doing and goes to step forward but Jiang quickly says ”How about this... If she goes to you, I won't say or do anything. I'll let you two walk out of here without a word. Deal?”
Bai Lei glares at the man and says ”Deal? I don't make deals with lowlifes like you. Release her! Don't think I'm not aware of what you're doing to her.” Jiang chuckles and leans in next to my ear while watching Bai Lei.
”Do you want to go to him, my Queen?” He asks as he continues to stroke my neck. I continue to lean against him as I shake my head no. Jiang chuckles and says ”See? She belongs to me now.” He keeps one hand on my neck as he uses the other to lift my head up to him.
He keeps his eyes on Bai Lei the whole time before placing a kiss on my lips. Bai Lei goes to move but Jiang breaks the kiss and says ”You can either stay and enjoy the show or you can leave.” Jiang then kisses me and this time I twist a bit so that I can wrap my arms around his neck.
A small part of me is screaming out at me to stop as another, bigger part, tells me to keep going. Then, my eyes flash with a vicious light but Jiang misses it because he's too busy watching and taunting Bai Lei.
Now it's my turn... I break the kiss for only a moment to whisper ”More” His lips smirk as he unleashes his dark energy. I take a deep breath and begin inhaling the dark energy just a bit at first, not wanting to alert him.
I can feel Bai Lei's power building, almost like it was burning my exposed back but I keep my focus on Jiang as I latch on and pull. He's still too busy taunting Bai Lei to notice what I've done. I used my nail to scratch his neck before breaking the kiss.
I start to giggle like a drunk idiot as I lean back and toss my long silver hair over my shoulder. Jiang finally looks away from Bai Lei to look at me in question. I continue to pull the dark energy from him as I say ”If I don't put an end to it now, I'll surely lose myself entirely.”
I climb off his lap and he allows it with a confused and amused look, completely forgetting Bai Lei. ”It was fun while it lasted but you're an existence that shouldn't be allowed to continue. I still remember the ten your old little girl.”
He looks at me with confusion before it suddenly clicks. His laugh turns dark as he says ”And yet you still want the very energy I used to suck her dry! Do you think you're any better than I am? You are now the same as me!” This time I chuckle as I give him a dark charming look.
His smile starts to fade as he struggles to keep his head clear. My smile turns seductive as I stand in front of him, slowly pulling up my long red dress. His black eyes look to my exposed legs before flicking back up to my face.
