Chapter 302.4: Why Do You Seem To Look So Sad

“That day will not come, and none of what you said will happen.” Qing Yu’s eyes were narrowed as she said in a soft voice.
Her tone was however strangely resolute.
Lian Shi could not help but shake his head. “I really do not know where your confidence is coming from at all. Do you not realize the situation you’re in now?”
“You know something? From the moment I first saw you, I’ve felt that you’re a person who feels highly conflicted and is rather contradictory.” Qing Yu said unexpectedly, all of a sudden out of the blue.
“What do you mean?”
Qing Yu did not respond to his question but went on to say: “Deep down inside, you do not want me to become what you said earlier do you?”
She then turned to look back at the screen, upon the horrifying scene that was hard to look at. “You do not want them to die as well.”
Lian Shi’s face that always carried a gentle smile seemed to congeal for an instant, before his lips curved up. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Looks like I have treated you too well all this time and….. you’ve started to think that I’m a good person? ?”
Speaking of that, he then scoffed, like he was laughing at her overconfidence. “If you think saying nice things to me and pretending to be good and obedient in front of me will make me consider letting you off and plead on your behalf, then you’re really overthinking it too much. Although I am someone who appreciates and would treat a beauty gently, and you are indeed a lass who possess outstanding looks, it is very unfortunate that you are a unique existence who holds the power of the Flame element.”
“It doesn’t matter even if you do not want to admit it. Afterall, who wouldn’t possess a side of themselves that no one knows about?” Qing Yu raised her hands up before her, stretching them out to block out the rest of the man’s face, leaving only his pair of eyes in sight.
A strange phenomenon then happened. Lian Shi had always been highly smiley before people, and his smile was one that was gentle and comfortable to see.
But after blocking out the rest of his face and leaving only his eyes visible, a pair of extremely good looking eyes, long almond shaped, not showing the slightest bit of devilish allure, but instead seemed clean and untainted, detached from worldly affairs.
However, within that same pair of eyes, was a kind of thick undispellable sadness, which was highly disparate and out of place with his smile, in seemingly direct conflict.
But, his face was clearly still smiling.
“Why do your eyes carry some sort of compassion and pity for people?”
As an evil villain who has committed all sorts of bad deeds, but carries such a contradictory side in him. What is he feeling sad about?
Is it because of all those lives that were lost or is it because all of this was not what he wished for? ?
The arc on Lian Shi’s lips grew deeper, and his voice sounded softly as she looked at him intently. “Are you….. trying to read into my heart?”
Without waiting for Qing Yu to reply, he just went on ahead and continued to say: “Compassion for people? Ha! I am not some kind of a saint seeking to deliver all living creatures from suffering.”
“I am merely pitying myself.”
