Chapter 307 - Mutual Dislike
Chapter 307 – Mutual Dislike
There is a saying that villains aren't born but are a product of their environment. The way they live, their families and each negative word they are constantly bombarded with day in and day out breaks them apart and reshapes them into the person they are.
As for little Rui, he was already born with a predisposition to become a diabolical black-hearted person. His aether was an empty shell with no ounce of seraphic energy but the universe had given him a loophole. He could gain the power that he so desired by robbing others of their seraphic energy to fill in his empty core.
And for him to commit such a heinous crime he had to be furthest away from a warm-hearted kind person. Within his core, he had a vile seed that could erase the goodness in him and the moment his mother died the darkness spread like cancer resulting in the unfeeling lunatic who bred with multiple women so he could murder his offspring for power.
His villainous nature wasn't a trait but his source of power because without it he wouldn't have killed almost fifty of his children. In other words, this man was beyond saving.
The darkness in him had spread through his aetherial veins corrupting every cell in his body like an invasive parasite overspilling to the surroundings which were immediately shrouded in dark shadows spiralling like a tornado around him.
But despite this intimidating showcase, he was still running on plundered seraphic energy hence he was no match against Qilin Kai's powerful force. Qilin Kai could easily subdue this psycho in one move but the problem was the man's resilience and taunting tactics.
Several times he had cornered Emperor Rui and each time he did he ended up sustaining a lot of damage because his opponent was the type that would break their own arm just to scratch the enemy's face. This made this task difficult.
Emperor Rui kept pushing back time and time again slowly nudging Qilin Kai towards a direction he didn't want to head in. If he killed this lousy man then he won't get what he wants in the end so he had to find a way to extricate Emperor Rui from his state of mind.
Qilin Kai got that very chance the next time he pressed the man against the floor his elbow directly on Emperor Rui's neck. Pressing him down tightly he caught his breath before saying, "It's, it's a counterfeit. That, that keystone was fake."
Emperor Rui who was pressed down against the floor like a flat pancake spat out a small amount of blood before grinning slyly. "Hahaha… you think I would fuckin believe that?" he said before that grin abruptly disappeared and he tried once more to get up.
Qilin Kai couldn't allow it. He pressed him down harder with his damp hair from the sweat swaying from his movement. He took back one hand and pulled his hair back revealing his smooth forehead before saying, "Why would I fuckin lie to you?…. It seems you were bewitched by that vixen that you didn't notice she swapped your keystone for a fake, tsk how pathetic."
Having said that he observed Emperor Rui's face and seeing that fierce expression cool down by a few degrees and the darkness in this dog emperor's eyes vanish he immediately got up. Just now he had been so infuriated that he ended up touching Emperor Rui making him feel disgusted as soon as the adrenaline wore off.
Suppressing the queasy feeling rising up his throat he took out something from his storage. With trembling hands, he took out a porcelain bottle and tried to open it but his emotions were in turmoil and he couldn't bring himself to calm down.
Closing his eyes he breathed out deeply and his hands stopped shaking. He opened the bottle and took out a purple pill and stared at it for a moment before tossing it into his mouth.
When he thought of that slut who cheated his feelings he sighed. She gave him so much warmth that overshadowed his hate for Qilin Hao. For a moment he gave up everything he worked hard for and stopped competing with his cousin muddled by love.
Now he was back to taking these things to reduce the side effects of touching repulsive things. Fixing his expression he turned around to coax emperor Rui only to find him knelt on the floor gathering the broken pieces while cursing Qilin Hao.
"That stupid bitch fuckin dared to deceive me….. who the fuck does she think she is?" he mumbled imagining how he was going to torment her once he gets his hands on her. Chaining her up and toying with her day and night was the only option on the table.
Qilin Kai folded his arms across his chest leisurely as he observed him seriously. If he peeled off the layers off this impulsive jerk he was certain he would find a vulnerable little boy crying for his mother.
He turned around and walked over to the table, sat down before pouring out a cup of water. With his head lowered he lifted the cup but before its rim touched his lips he said, "There is no use cursing her in her absence when you can actually do it face to face."
Emperor Rui's actions of picking broken shards stopped and he shifted his gaze towards Qilin Kai. The man was taking a sip of water in such a posh and elegant way you would think he was drinking water from the fountain of youth.
He especially hated this kind of pretentious behaviour but unfortunately, he needed this person otherwise he won't get what he wanted. "If this one is fake then the one that brat is going after would be the fifth….. as for the rest, Qilin Hao has them which means," he said but Qilin Kai interjected,
"That's right. It's time we intercept the brat then we find her," he said as he placed the cup down, his phoenix eyes flashing a bright glow.
The corner of emperor Rui's lip rose as he got up to his feet. His robe was open showing his naked torso with conspicuous red marks and scratch not from the scuffle earlier. These were obvious remnants of the sinful acts earlier and as his chest heaved the marks contracted and expanded with his muscle's movements making them more prominent.
Qilin Kai lowered his eyes in disgust. This frivolous type with multiple partners was disgusting to him but he would never say it aloud. He still needed this disgusting thing. With mutual dislike, the two discussed their next step.
While they were plotting and ploying Xiaoyu was also proceeding with her next step.. When she said she needed help one would think she would organize powerful Nocru to kidnap her love rival and kill him or maybe partner with her worst enemy, Emperor Rui, to get Rui Fei out of the picture but that's not what she did.
