After the President declared martial law, a lot of militant groups encountered problems in their protests. It was because they now encouraged police and the military alike to use force to suppress the masses. Because of this, the groups also turned hostile. It didn't take too long before the military decided to send tanks to the various regions around the country.
Chaos ensued.
Obviously, Lyca had no idea about this. She had guessed that this would happen, but she doesn't have any means to know the current events. Moreover, she was actually busy with her experiments and upcoming wedding.
Slowly, the days passed.
On the night before her wedding day, Lyca stared at the small capsule in her hand. Then she eyed the alcohol that old man Chu gave her. She smiled and took the capsule, swallowing it without the help of any liquid.
"What are you doing?"
Lyca wasn't even surprised that the man would suddenly arrive now. "I'm waiting for it to eat itself." Since she started studying the creature, Lyca couldn't count how many of these otherworldly creatures died in her hands.
"Still no luck?"
Lyca almost flinched when he held her waist. She shook her head and thought of attacking Xu Ke now. Again, she consoled her own self inwardly. Patience.
She had been waiting for too long. If she let her anger take over, she would lose everything. "By the way… how did you get these creatures? Until now, you haven't told me how you get them and why you can only get them. Maybe…. If I could— "
"No." Xu Ke's words contain the finality that it always have. For some reason, he refused to tell her anything related to this experiment or summoning. This only fueled her belief that the process involved killing people. Maybe even a sacrifice.
"Don't take it the wrong way," Xu Ke said. "I am sparing your feelings. You only need to help me make it survive. No need to think about things like this anymore."
She nodded in response. There was no point in arguing with this psycho. "That gift… "Lyca looked at the wine. "It was from Old Man Chu. I have asked the old man before to give that wine to me. But he refused and said it was something that his family values a lot. I wanted to drink it."
"This one?" Xu Ke held the bottle. "It already passed the test. There is no poison or any toxic in it." He smiled. "Why don't you drink it with me?"
"Why do you want to drink with me?" Lyca hugged the alcohol. "This is a really precious wine."
He lifted an eyebrow, amusement flashed in his eyes. "When it comes to food and wine… you are still the same. This made me want to drink that wine even more. I am wondering if it tastes as good as you said." With one swift motion, he grabbed the wine and found a cup that belongs to Lyca. "Let me pour you some," he said.
After pouring Lyca a cup, he used another one for himself.
Lyca frowned as she held the cup closer. "You are pouring a lot. Save something for me."
"This wine… smelled too good."
Lyca rolled her eyes inwardly. "Hey! I said save something for me!"
"Greedy…" Xu Ke chuckled. "As always."
Lyca stuck her tongue out before she focused her attention on the wine. Without waiting for him to say anything, she started drinking the wine, drinking it in one go.
Seeing this, Xu Ke smiled, then followed her. Obviously, he took the bottle and poured Lyca and him the drink to avoid any poison. He also let her drink the wine first before drinking his. He was confident that the cups in Lyca's lab were safe, as it was being monitored and tested every day before he would arrive.
He knew how cunning Lyca was.
Of course, Xu Ke wouldn't lower his guard down.
Xu Ke knew that Lyca used to be an assassin. And she can be very patient in watching her prey. She could hide in the shadow for days while waiting for the right time to kill her prey. She is deadly and smart. And this combination is only good if she was actually his allies.
Of course, Xu Ke is not that fool to actually trust her with his secrets. She wasn't that dumb. He knew that Lyca's emotion were already tainted by her feelings towards Shen Qui. Her heart is no longer pure. Who knows if the woman was still looking for ways to resurrect that lover of hers?
She saw Lyca's cheeks reddened as she put the cup on the table. "You should leave. I am already sleepy."
"You want me to leave?" he lifted an eyebrow as he took a step towards her. To his surprise, Lyca didn't take a step back. She lifted her head and gave him a languid look.
"Yes. Is there something wrong?"
"You are drunk."
"And?" she asked, confused.
Xu Ke took another step towards her. "Don't you want to spend the night with me?"
"No." No, thank you!
"So direct."
"Did you want me to lie?"
This made him chuckle. He narrowed the space between them. "Tomorrow is our wedding day."
"Did you want me to act excited? Isn't this just the same as the previous life? This time… you wanted to kill more people."
"At least, I won't kill you this time." He used his thumb and pointer to hold her chin, lifting her face closer to his face. "We are destined. That is something I couldn't deny. Even if I wanted to. If I had known this in the previous life… I would have chosen another evil family to slaughter. "
She snorted. "You are saying it as if you did the world a favor by killing us."
"Please stop blaming me. We all know how you and your family kill people like they were pigs. However, in this world, your family doesn't deserve that death. As long as you listen to me. They will survive."
