Chapter 59 - Promises
Hou Qiong placed the jade in the middle of the jade box and suddenly the box started to glow.
"Look," she said and a light started to project from it on the white wall.
3 men and 2 girls were in the projection.
"Those 3 are my uncles, and the other 2 women were my friends," Hou Qiong said and the figures in the projection started to move.
"What…?" Lu Feng was shocked, the figures were moving and he could even hear their sound!
"This video jade, not only records video, it even records the sound," Hou Qiong said to him and Lu Feng nodded, he was very fast in accepting things. He then again looked at the projection.
"So you 2 are the friends of that little bitch?" a man who was wearing white and blue robes said.
Those 2 who had a scared expression on their faces nodded. They looked like 14 or 15 year old girls.
"Why are you friends with her?" the man who was standing in the middle asked with a smile.
"S-She is a good person, even saved our lives" one girl dared and said.
"Saved your lives?" those 3 laughed and the last one who was standing in left opened his mouth and said
"She saved you both to let you die in our hands"
Those 2 girls knew this was going to happen but still they couldn't control their tears and cried.
"I lived my half-life in this damn place, even though grandpa loves me, I lived a shiit life here, not a single person from our clan like me and my mother, when I was 13 years old, I met both of them, they were from some kingdom… I forgot the names. It was the first time I met some people who liked me other than my grandpa" Hou Qiong said in a low voice.
Lu Feng nodded as the projection continued, but there was no sound anymore, only action. Those 3 guys tore those 2 girls' dresses and raped them. And the projection ended.
"It was not finished there, those 3 beasts crippled their cultivation base to not kill themselves and locked them in that place, they used to torture them very much, they felt they should have died. And this continued for a year and they killed both of them because they became pregnant…" Hou Qiong said.
Lu Feng was silent, he didn't know what to say to her. He understood why she hated her clan members, but why all men? All are not like those who torture women and kill them, right?
"When they went missing, I was like a mad kid searching for them, but I couldn't find them for years and 8 years ago I found this jade… I know what you are thinking, but that was how it worked. Those 3 guys are still alive and kicking even now! What do you think? Hmph. I will tell you this. 90 percent of the men I met were the same as them, with a dark heart inside. They don't even think of women as humans, they look at them like… they were some tools. The only point I didn't like about my grandpa was this too, bet you don't know how many women he married in his life, It was more than 5000, but only a few of them here. He used to marry and have a child with her and if it was not a girl, he left them! Even he knew that was an impossible thing, he never gave up… Anyway, it was the time I started to hate men, there were only a few I didn't hate is, Emperor Wang, Your father, my grandpa, other than those 3, I hated every man I met before, even you! I used to hate you more, and after hearing the thing you did to Emperor Wang, my hate for you even increased now" she said without giving any chance to Lu Feng to speak.
"Look Qiong, I already said this many times, I don't care if you hate me or love me, but one thing for sure, I changed a lot, maybe sometimes this body doesn't listen to me, that doesn't mean I like to do it… well whatever, I understand why you hate men now… and you friends had a tragic life, I'm sorry for them," Lu Feng said, he got angry for suddenly saying about it, but again when he thought about it, he felt this was a waste to explain her.
"I understand that. That was why I'm telling you this, I just… when I heard marriage between you and me, I said I only agreed because of my grandpa's health issue. But there is another reason too, auntie is one of the people I admire the most. I wanted to refuse his wedding at first but thought. I moved out of this house… and live with people I admire! And uncle Lu Huang, he was the best person I have ever seen! To live with them… was like a dream, that was the main reason I agreed to this marriage. And a plan came to my mind, after Grandpa's death, killing you would be easy, and after killing you… I will beg auntie and uncle to live in Lu Clan and… I could live there happily!" Hou Qiong said with a smile.
"Okay…" Lu Feng was shocked by seeing this side of Hou Qiong. She was talking too much today.
"Y-You… but everything changed after seeing you. You were not like the Lu Feng I got information about, you were a nice guy like uncle Lu Huang. And after seeing you just for a few days, I got a good impression of you. So then again I decided to not kill you, you are a nice guy Lu Feng…" Hou Qiong said with a smile
Lu Feng stood up because of shock,
"You… did you drink or something?" Lu Feng asked her and he was right, she was drunk!
"Just..a little. I'm fine, but Lu Feng, when I come to Lu Clan, I want to live a peaceful life. I don't know if you will be a good husband or not, but I promise you that I will be a good wife" said Hou Qiong.
Lu Feng sighed
"I also promise I will be a good husband," he said with a smile, he felt this conversation was not on the point anymore. She was speaking anything she wanted...
