Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 394 Believe

"You're only throwing your life away." Nan Hua glanced at the bottle on the ground. She knew how lethal that poison could be. After all, it was one of the deadliest poisons available in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Hai Fa Nie smiled faintly, enduring the pain and weakness that spread all over her body. She knew that her death was near, yet there was no fear within her eyes. "I know."

"But you still do it?" Nan Hua asked.

*cough* *cough*

Gasping for breath, Hai Fa Nie let out a faint laugh. "Do you want to try saving me, little girl? Unfortunately, this poison had no antidote. Once you inhale it, you'll die sooner or later."

"You're wrong."

Swish!

A needle landed on Hai Fa Nie's body. She was stunned and she felt that something was flowing out from her arm. Looking at it, she could see that it was the black blood that contained poison.

"It can be purged." Nan Hua was calm.

Hai Fa Nie was surprised. She looked at the youth sitting on the window as a beautiful smile formed at the corner of her lips. "Even if it can be purged, what's the use?"

"Don't you want to live?

"Live?" The voice sounded cold and distant, as if the person who spoke had long lost her will to live. Those who heard this desperate voice would wonder just what kind of environment could possibly make her lose hope this badly.

The light within Hai Fa Nie's eyes dimmed for a moment before she regained her composure. She put on a beautiful smile. "I fought for my family members. Even if I know that this path will lead to my death, I still willingly walk on it."

"Even if they see you as nothing more than a tool?" Nan Hua asked once more in a low voice.

Hai Fa Nie's body trembled slightly when she heard that. A drop of tear fell from the corner of her eyes. For so many years in her life, she had been trying to believe that her family cared for her yet her hope had been destroyed from time to time.

In Hai Family, those born as women would have no other choice but to live as a tool to please men.

They were all taught how to gain affection from men. At the same time, they were not allowed to be greedy and asked too much from their husband because it would spell their death.

Live and die for Hai Family.

"Everything is for Hai Family's glory." Hai Fa Nie took out several bottles from her sleeve. It was all the poison that the elders had prepared for them for their last mission today. After all, the Hai Family was putting their entire life on the line tonight.

If they fail, the Hai Family would be gone.

There was no use of staying alive just to live in more humiliation afterwards.

Slash! Thud!

Hai Fa Nie's arm dropped on the ground as Nan Hua took the bottles. She stood not far from Hai Fa Nie, her dark obsidian eyes were indifferent. "You've done well. However, it's not your fate to stay alive."

"I see." Hai Fa Nie smiled beautifully. A blade slashed across her neck, killing her instantly. Even though she knew that she was going to die, Hai Fa Nie was still smiling and her eyes seemed as if it was waiting upon the arrival of death.

She had done everything that she could.

Thus, it was only right for her to be happy when she could finally put down this job and leave. The only think she regretted was the fact that the Hai Family might not have smooth sailing path even with her death.

Nan Hua stood in her place and tucked the bottles away.

Her eyes glanced at Hai Fa Nie.

They were the same.

In the past, Nan Hua knew very well that she was nothing more than a tool used by the organization that took her in. However, she didn't care in the slightest bit. Back then, she was just an abandoned child, one that didn't even have a place to return. The only thing she could do was to follow order and then follow more order.

However, when she did her mission, she met with a lot of people who were very similar with Hai Fa Nie. They were people who dared to bet with their own life because they have something they believed in.

Even if they died, they believed that they did it for their beloved ones.

Because of that, they never feared death.

In the past, Nan Hua would have never understood the reason why they would bet their everything even though they knew that they would die. They looked like they were merely struggling for some strange reason.

But now, Nan Hua had something she wanted to fight for too.

That was why, she couldn't lose.

She could never lose.

Nan Hua moved outside the residence and saw Feng Qian Kun laid next to the separate warehouse. When Concubine Hai and Hai Fa Nie's attention was on Feng Qian Kun, she had moved the two boys to this building.

The powder might spread further, but they wouldn't die with such low amount.

Right now, Feng Qian Kun had lost consciousness. Nan Hua opened the door and kicked Feng Qian Kun inside, not caring about him again. At least, those people wouldn't try to search for him so easily anymore.

"Whether you die or live will be up to fate."

Nan Hua then left the quarter and headed to Nan Luo's quarter.

Swish!

Upon her arrival, Nan Hua could see that there were already several people who died. Some of them were the servants in Hai Family while the others were soldiers who were tasked to kill her twin brother.

"Are there still more?" Nan Luo's voice sounded from inside the building.

"That should be the last one, Young Master," Xiao Yan replied politely.

"Good then."

Nan Luo walked out of the building then raised his head. He arched his eyebrows when he saw Nan Hua stood there, putting on the silver mask.
