"It is mine!"
"Is it?" She narrowed her eyes, her hands were already on her daggers that she had laced with poison just for this man. "You killed her and her family and you stole the necklace from her. Now you are claiming it was yours. Following this logic, this necklace should be mine after I stole it from you, no?"
"You— "
Lyca chuckled. "Xu Ke… you are still the same." She lifted her chin, silently challenging him to come down and fight her. However, the latter didn't move. Instead, he stared at her face for a few seconds.
"You know nothing."
She sneered. "Would you want me to tell you what she said before she died?"
He squinted at her, "Who are you!?"
"I believe you already know that," she countered as she took a single step back. Lyca wasn't really sure if she would want him to know who she really was. However, she realized that him knowing her real identity would be better.
"You are— " Xu Ke frowned as he stared at her small little face. He was certain that he never met her before bumping into her on the empire. However, everything that she said about Huang Lena and him was real. Even the exact words that Huang Lena told her. She even knew that he killed Huang Lena's family. Suspicion flashed in his eyes. Is that even possible?
He watched as Lyca smirked at him. Unable to contain his irritation, Xu Ke jumped down from the boulder and stood in front of her. "Are you her?"
"Who?" she lifted an eyebrow. He didn't miss the amusement in her eyes. Was she enjoying this? He gritted his teeth and said nothing as he lowered his head and stared at her face. Ye Bai was beautiful. Not the kind of beauty that would be able to make someone salivate. She was just like Huang Lena, her eyes were cold, deadly even. However, for some reason, he had found this enticing. This woman's similarities with Lena was astounding.
Xu Ke had heard about souls moving to another body before. However, there was no proof of such things. There were merely rumors. "Are you Huang Lena?" he managed to say. It was as if his world stopped when he saw her smile.
She said nothing, no denial or confirmation left her mouth. She just stared at him, staring at his eyes like… like she knew what was going on in his mind. The smile on the woman's face reminded him of the real reason why he followed her around. Taking advantage of the situation, he reached out and tried to grab the necklace from her neck. However, Lyca was already expecting such action. She immediately used a dagger to counter the attack, slashing it towards the latter's face before she jumped a few feet away from him.
When Lyca saw a small cut on Xu Ke's cheek, she beamed. It seems that she had won this time. Xu Ke had been really occupied with his own thoughts that he wasn't able to dodge that knife.
"You are dead." She uttered.
"Poison." The realization hit him as he frowned. Does this confirm that this woman was indeed Lena? His Lena? Slowly, his eyes turned gentle, his gaze bored into her, looking for that small confirmation that he was looking for. "You— are you Huang Lena?"
"Would that change anything?" she asked.
He frowned in response. He immediately felt his cheek started to turn numb. It was indeed a poison. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you here to kill me? Have the revenge that you wanted?"
"Would you believe me if I say that I don't want to kill you? At least not anymore?" At first, she wanted to kill him. Then she decided against it. At the banquet, Lyca once again decided that this man needed to die. Her confusing emotions were because of her current state. She had been caught in between wanting to have her revenge and wanting to go home.
Half of Lyca wanted that revenge while half wanted to leave this forsaken place. Since she actually didn't have a plan, Lyca had changed her opinions every now and then.
"No. Lena would never spare someone."
She chuckled at that. He was right. The previous her would never spare anyone. She would cut someone's head even if they were already dead just to make sure they won't come back to have their revenge. She would slit someone's throat knowing they already died from her poison just to make sure that everything will go in accordance with her plan.
She was ruthless and merciless.
And somehow, this ruthlessness had changed when she arrived on Earth— a place with laws and restrictions. She had been used to her lazy life and lost interest in killing people.
"You already poisoned me. You can kill me anytime," he said. He already felt his arms losing their strength, his legs would soon follow, and he wouldn't be able to escape this place. When he saw her laughed, confusion immediately laced his gaze.
"No," she could kill him. But she won't. This man let her watched as her family was slaughtered in front of her. This cold-hearted man let her watched as children and the old were used as a target for the arrows of the Xu Family assassins. This man… deserved to suffer just like her.
And death… is something that he doesn't deserve. "I know where the Xu Family was," she relaxed her arms and stared at his already pale face. To her surprise, Xu Ke wasn't really doing anything about the poison. She was certain that he had ways to at least lessen the effects of the poison. However, he wasn't doing anything about it. He just stood there like a f*cking statue, and stared at her as if he waiting for her to deliver the final blow.
Her words, however, made the latter frowned. She didn't miss the complicated emotions in his eyes. "You wanted to— " Of course, he already knows what she wanted. "So you wanted to do the things that I did to you."
"Wrong," Lyca said. "I would never kill you." It would be enough for her to know that the Xu Family would vanish in this world. She was confident that it would happen. This was because of the Xu Family's arrogance.
Because of the poisonous traps that she set, the Xu Family stopped assigning people to check the place. They were too confident that no one would be able to arrive on top of the plateau. Of course, this was no longer the case now.
Xu Ke turned silent when he realized what she really wanted. So, she wanted to keep him alive for her to see the fall of the Xu Family. What a cruel woman. She knew that Xu Ke was too shameless and prideful to kill himself. He would rather suffer than make people let fun of him. He snorted as he staggered. "You are still the same ruthless woman that I know."
Lyca stood in front of Xu Ke, her eyes were cold, lips pursed into a thin straight line. Even if Xu Ke would go back to the plateau, there is no way that he would be able to save his family. Slowly, her lips lifted upwards into a cruel smile. "An eye for an eye, Young Master Xu."
"An eye for an eye," he uttered as he smiled at her. He could feel his consciousness starting to leave his body. However, he knew that this poison wasn't deadly. It would only make him lost his consciousness for a short period of time, enough for her to ran away from him. He stared at her eyes, waiting for her to ask him some questions. Asked him why he did what he did. Asked him if he regretted it. Asked him if it was worth it.
However, Lyca didn't utter another word. A long time ago, she had wondered why he did it. If he had actually regretted it. If he thought it was worth it. However, this was in the past. Now that she stood in front of him, she had realized that knowing the answer to these questions wouldn't make her feel anything good.
If she wanted to move on, she should start by stop asking the why's and the how's and accept that no matter what, she couldn't change everything. Lyca coldly watched as Xu Ke slowly fell on the grown, unconscious. Then she lifted her head towards the thick canopy that still covered this part of the forest, a sigh of relief left her lips.
Turning around, Lyca walked towards the cliff to watched the sunset. When she arrived, she immediately remembered Shen Qui. They too, had watched the sunrise before, after she massacred those people. That sunrise wasn't really particularly special. However, his company was something that she was thankful for.
Smiling, Lyca sat on the edge of the cliff, her eyes focused on the red and yellow hue that sprawled on the horizon. The sunset… was the end of the day, but it was also the beginning of another beautiful night. She sighed and removed the necklace that hung peacefully on her neck. Eying the moon pendant, Lyca couldn't help but wonder who made it.
The pendant had been with her family in this world for years. It was her grandmother's, something that was given to her. However, she never expected to see the necklace again when she traveled to Earth. Moreover, she never expected that the necklace would once again land on her neck.
She lifted her gaze towards the horizon as she clutched the pendant tighter. She wished she could just go back. She missed her parents, she missed Shen Qui and her bed. She missed his tea and the pizza that he made. She missed him …. And everything about him.
