CHAPTER 10 -

Chao Lei only stared at the unconscious Qiang Ping on her lap. His body was entirely fine, no trace of wounds, scratches or bloods. He looks like to be just soundly sleeping in the middle of the raining night.

Chao Lei was intensely staring at his closed eyes, nose and lips, thinking that this person was the only man that made her cold heart moved and made her learned to love and to be loved.

But just how bad her fate is.

This guy was the Dark Lord.

Yes he is. Chao Lei finally confirmed it having the days in seclusion on her room, badly cultivating to swarm her qi around to perceive the lies she was in.

And she felt the trembling on her body after confirming that this place was a world created by the Dark Lord. A miniature world that only the Black Spirits can live.

The Village was a lie, the people was a lie. They are not people, they are the purest and powerful black spirits ever existed because the Dark Lord himself created them.

And those elders, they were the bit of souls of The Five General of the Black spirits. She knew it because she was the one who annihilated those monsters.

And she felt her heart sunk. He Jian and the Manor, was a living lie.

And Qiang Ping, he was the Dark Lord she fought. The terrible and unleveled lord. Some things she can't answer but all the possibilities are telling her he was the one.

She felt her heart whinced in pain. She almost forgot her former self, she almost forgot she was the First Divine General of the Tang Kingdom who had a strong oath to protect her lands from darkness... She almost forgot it all because right now, she only wanted to be a good future wife that Qiang Ping can truly rely on.

She sobbed and tearly kissed Qiang Ping on his forehead. She don't want to lose him. She can't.

It was a night of grief to Chao Lei. A goodbye.

A goodbye to her former self for she already decided to accept this no matter what things are here.

She was willing to stay here for eternity together with him even he don't want

...

The stormy night passed on and by morning, a march of carriages and men came towards Chao Lei and Qiang Ping's direction.

It was He Jian who leaded. Last night, after Chao Lei came rushing here, He Jian spent agents to follow her that's why they managed to see them.

He Jian immediately brought them in the carriage. They warmed them up and let them drink some medicine for it was a tough night. He Jian didn't noticed that her 'brother' was stricken by lightning and thought he was just sleeping and was exhausted by finding the herb.

Chao Lei didn't talked much. The people here were black spirits but they didn't know it because their mind was set to be like of a human, they do human things and was actually ignorant about the wars and powers in the world. They didn't even thought that their maker was this doctor.

After reaching the Manor, Qiang Ping was still unconscious so in order to nurse him thoroughly.

Chao Lei locked Qiang Ping and herself to his own courtyard, not allowing anyone to enter even He Jian.

She took care of him intensely, bathing him, changing his clothes and feeding medicines to his unconscious body.

She didn't thought anything by doing this, but she knows only one thing, she will often do this after they got married and that only matters

He Jian and the servants outside didn't bother the Lady Miss's perseverance for they quite trust her.

It was one evening when Chao Lei was preparing for the elixirs in the kitchen that Qiang Ping will take in the morning when she suddenly heard a cough coming from his room.

She immediately went towards his ground bed and saw that he was trying to seat up but his body was like a huge weight for him.

She immediately approached him and helped him seat.

"Chao Lei?" he weakly turned to his fiancé whose face was entirely in mess, her hair was tied in ponytail but some strands were falling into her beautiful face which made her look very haggard.

Chao Lei sweetly smiled on him. Her face finally showed trace of relief and gladness.

"Yes I am"

"W-What happened? Y-You... What happened to you?" he asked seeing Chao Lei's condition.

"Nothing. Nothing."

Qiang Ping deeply frowned,

"Chao Lei." he lifted up Chao Lei's chin to see her teary eyes closely.

He then saw everything through her clear but watery eyes, there's pain and confusion.

Qiang Ping brushed off the lost strands sticking on her forehead and said, "Chao Lei...you already knew."

He smiled at her.

It was a weak smile but it had just made Chao Lei weep aloud.

So he was really the dark lord.

And she was the Divine General who promised to get the head of the Dark Lord to gain the complete peace in the lands.

She tried to kill him many times, she had ruthlessly injured him hundred times and she showed no mercy destroying all he had.

Will he even accept me to be with him for eternity?

She kept her head lower while sobbing. Qiang Ping can't help it, seeing her this way made his heart tinge with pain and slowly, he wrapped his arm around her.

He hugged her in his bosom, caressing her pain.

"Shh... Your husband is not strong and can't even stand alone, as my wife, you should be stronger than me." he said casually as he planted a kiss on Chao Lei's head.

"Ease your self my wife. Nothing is gonna happen." he said.

Chao Lei stopped crying and slowly lifted her head to see Qiang Ping.

Qiang Ping warmly smiled at her "Nothing matters Chao Lei. You're still my wife and I'm your husband."

With his words, he leaned closer on Chao Lei's delicate face and devoured her lips.

He started kissing her passionately and with dominance, he wanted to express that nothing will happen even everything in the world unfolds.

Even she discover the lies, even she hates the lies and even she hates him, he won't let her get away. He will never.

The kiss became fierce and wild, Chao Lei was getting dizzy and felt herself being melted with his grip on her. But she managed to return the kisses that made Qiang Ping to be more wild and finally unleash his yearning desire inside.

He placed Chao Lei on the bed while not letting the kiss to be cut off. At first, he struggled for his legs because these were not lies. He can't move them, he only relied on his thighs that was still under his control.

He moved to kiss Chao Lei on her neck licking and biting her soft spots that made her give off pleasant sounds.

He started moving Chao Lei's collar, he slid it off to expose the very fair and white shoulder she hid. It was beautiful.

And so on.
