Now You Know to Repent

The crowd was struck with both awe and fear.

Many of the beautiful young maidens present were afraid, but, at the same time, they adored this powerful and handsome young man to the moon.

They all envied the young lady that stood beside him. With just slightly above average looks, what right did she have to be at his side?

Which girl did not desire to be protected by a strong man who would shelter them from all the harsh realities and cruelty of the world?

The young ladies all felt bitter about how unfair it was, but they still did not dare to get closer to such a mighty and cruel young man. He could be looked at from afar, but never approached.

"Han Ying." Tang Zixin lightly said, awaking the girl from her stupor.

"Y-yes, Brother Xin?" Han Ying's heart confused her. There were too many emotions present. From delight, joy, love, worship, surprise, and fear.

"Mm." Tang Zixin's smile was both innocent and demonic, but incredibly enchanting.

Then…

Everyone watched his smile vanish as the white-robed young man ruthlessly kicked Lord Wangzi in the gut, forcing him upwards as his eyes creased at the bright sun.

For a moment, Lord Wangzi had mistaken Tang Zixin for the sun.

And, in the corner of his eye, Lord Wangzi saw the nervous young lady who had been the root of all his pain and shame.

"Miss, please have mercy." Lord Wangzi cried, tears flowing. "I have five children and a wife at home who are all depending on me."

Seeing the old man who was around the same age as her father cry like a baby, Han Ying bit her red lips and asked, "Are you going to apologise?"

"Apologise? Yes, of course, noble miss." Lord Wangzi thought he had found his lifeline when all hope had been lost.

Kowtowing on all fours, Lord Wangzi loudly shouted, "I, Lin Wangzi, had eyes but did not recognise Mount Tai. Please punish me, noble miss!"

"Eh…" Han Ying did not know what to do. Hearing that he had a family who all depended on him, her heart softened in concern.

The old fox continued to kowtow, his head that had traces of grey hair continued pouring blood.

If this lasted any longer, Lord Wangzi would soon die of blood loss.

"Brother Xin, thank you. It's enough." Han Ying tugged at Tang Zixin, looking at him with her large watery eyes.

It was the first time she had seen so much blood and violence, and it had all happened in the span of a few minutes.

"Are you sure?" Tang Zixin curled his lips as he glanced at Lord Wangzi in disdain.

When Lord Wangzi heard this, he decided to bang his head on the concrete floor with even more power. He even started to come up with malicious schemes.

"I will repay this shame in the future." Lord Wangzi clenched his fists in secret. Even if he could not take down this strong young man, he had a million ways to get rid of a weak girl in the dark.

"Yes…" Han Ying turned away, not daring to look at the gruesome scene.

By now, all Han Ying's pain and burn marks had gone away because of Tang Zixin's treatment.

"Very well." Tang Zixin sighed, and Han Ying could clearly see his disappointment.

"I'm sorry for being useless, Brother Xin." Han Ying wept. She had forced her way into his life with an outrageous request to his father, but he still treated her with such warmth and kindness.

Han Ying vowed that she would become stronger in the future to help him and be of use.

"It's okay. Don't think about it anymore." Tang Zixin comforted her, and he turned to coldly look at Lord Wangzi.

"Get lost."

"Yes! Thank you noble sir and noble miss for this grace. I will never forget this!" Lord Wangzi quickly kowtowed a few more times in excitement.

He had somehow escaped from hell!

Hurriedly, Lord Wangzi scurried away in case they decided to change their mind. After he had left and could no longer see them he snickered, "I will never forget this indeed."

"Han Ying, I will not ask why you decided to let him go." Tang Zixin closed his eyes. "But remember, to be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself."

"I will remember from now on." Han Ying took in his words and murmured, even now she was still shaking and in shock from the bloodshed.

The effect was even greater after all the adrenaline was over.

Tang Zixin truly did not blame her. Right now, she was still an innocent and pampered young girl who had blindly loved him without reason. He understood this.

"I'm willing to give her all the time in the world."

While the bystanders whispered away, Tang Zixin calmly stared into the distance, his eyes locking onto a large figure that was treating his wounds.

He had left a poisonous tracking talisman on Lord Wangzi .

"Piece of trash. Daring to hurt and disrespect my woman, hurry up to greet King Yama for me and quickly drink Old Meng Po's disgusting soup."

Lord Wangzi was relieved and was nursing his wounds in a rundown corner of the district while calling for some doctors.

"Just wait for my revenge."

With a cold grin, Lord Wangzi felt a sudden itch in his body, and this itch quickly ended up permeating throughout his entire body.

"W-what is happening?" Lord Wangzi cried out in pain. It felt like there were a million insects eating him up from the inside. He desperately wanted to rip his skin off.

The disgusting and painful feeling was far too unbearable.

"I…" Seconds later, Lord Wangzi's skin started to explode with blood black pores as tears leaked from his old face.

Even at his death, he had not expected to die in such a pitiful and gruesome manner.

He regretted it all as images of their faces appeared in his mind.
