The One Who Broke Him

Noticing Xing being nonchalant about Chenglie, Shihong continued his story to Xing's dismay.

"So my father..."

"Can't you be concise and tell me what you want?", Xing lost all her patience.

Is this new kind of torture? Forcing someone to listen to them?

"I told you before. I need you to listen to my past!!!", Shihong shouted that startled Xing and she realised that she has no choice but to listen to his ramblings until Chenglie gets there. By now the children were brought out of the tunnels safely and Xing could sense Bai Li out there talking with the soldiers who helped them out and it seemed like he was using spells to mask the noises they made.

"Well, Gee! Continue then...", Xing pouted at Shihong and she could see him tensing up slightly as if he wondered if there is something wrong with the scenario there.
