LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 318 Could She Let Him Go?

The Emperor got to his brother and tried to get the dagger from his hands and Haru wrapped his arms around Xing's neck, hugging her from behind,

"Xing! Enough", his throat closed to see his friend in such an awful state. "Brother...", Haru could not even speak his name because he was that displeased about his brother whom he trusted explicitly till now. But no one gets to hurt his stupid friend, even if it is him.

"Haru.. He... Why?", Xing still holding in to Chenglei's clothes till her knuckles were white and she leaned on Chenglei's leg as she couldn't still get a clear idea what happened. Her brain long stopped working because if it did, she wouldn't be kneeling and begging in front of him as he hated it. If her brain worked properly, she'd have figured out the need for Zhu Rong's presence there and would have killed her then and there.

"Xing... Let him go!", Haru tried to pry her hands away from Chenglei's clothes but she didn't let him go.

Her hands felt like ice when he touched it and hugging her made Haru realise that she was trembling. A little of her shoulders were exposed by the cut made by Chenglei before.

Haru removed his overcoat and wrapped it around Xing to at least warm her a bit.

"Xing, he kissed that god! For your life!", he whispered in her ears that were cold to touch.

"Kissed..?", she repeated. Kissed a god? He made a deal? Xing felt a jolt of lighting pass through her body.

So that's what happened?

"Yes! I swear he did it, ", Haru hugged her close. He'd never let her demean herself to this extent. Especially for the one who was willing to do make her beg.

When that god asked him for her memories in exchange for her life, he just agreed... Just like that!

Brother Lei, Haven't she warned all of us against making deals with gods? You knew she'd have preferred death than being forgotten by you. So why did you?

Haru still had hopes that Chenglei'd remember her since when did the two of them follow any of the common rules? But now, He hated Chenglei more and more.

"Come on! Let go!", Haru spoke in a soothing tone as if he was coaxing a little child, " Let him go"

Let him go, stupid Xing! Don't hurt yourself for him!

Haru, the friend of hers who loved both of them took her side as always. She was the one who'd watch him over when he is sick! She's the one who shared him her food! She's the one who suffered with him when his family treated him poorly! She was the one who shard her mother as his mother too! She'd be the one who'd sleep with him whenever he was scared of thunderstorms. Even when she'd end up on the floor, since he always was a messy sleeper and would end up kicking her from the bed, she still would sleep with him everytime there was a thunderstorm right till he got married.

Sure he'd take her side!

"Let him go, Xing!" he kept on repeating until her grip on Chenglei's clothes loosened.

At the same time, the Emperor got the dagger from the hands of his brother and looked him in the eye. Chenglei's eyes that looked so confused and lost as if he is missing something tugged his heart. He still had his regal aura with him but there was a spark missing in his eyes, the spark that made his eyes glitter... The happiness in his heart knowing he was loved, expressed in his eyes as a sparkle was gone now that she is no more in his heart and his face was ghastly and pale ,

"Brother, you really cannot remember Mingxia?",

He asked as a whisper so that she won't hear and get more hurt but was met with his brother's empty eyes. Sure there was a little smile in his lips when he shook his head in the negative, "Should I?", he said indifferently but he looked like someone had snuffed out the light in his eyes.

Why brother? Why did you do this to yourself? Hurting yourself and hurting her...? Why did you make such a deal with that god? The Emperor hugged his brother.

He decided to keep his brother close to him. Just like she asked.

Xing's hands fell on the floor as her grip on his clothes loosened and Haru held her close to warm her up. She felt too cold like a corpse and she was in deep contemplation.

He made a deal with the god of fire? The god he knew who hated me? I was gone only for some minutes and he couldn't wait for me? I promised him I won't die! I promised I will do everything to live and he didn't trust me?

MY PRINCE DIDN'T TRUST ME ENOUGH!

He couldn't even wait for me for some minutes and he went to make a deal with a god who hates me. How did he think that would end up well?

I wasn't even dead. If left alone, I'd have comeback in no time! Why couldn't he trust me enough?

Xing lowered her head as Chenglei left the room. She couldn't even think straight and she didn't have the guts to watch him leave.

After everything why did we end up here.?

Chenglei walked dragging his feet in the floor... Something he never did. He never made noise while walking.

Did he want to have a look at her face? Maybe...

He paused his steps at the door to turn and look at the woman who was holding him like he was his saviour a moment ago. His brothers question did stir up his emotions but all he felt was headache when he thought deeper. That woman was still on the floor kneeling with her head down and Lord Ming Yushen is hugging her close. She still seemed detached from reality.

She must be a beautiful woman...! He thought seeing her frame. Too bad I couldn't see your face! Such a beautiful hair...! Just who are you? It's a shame you lost your mind! Hope you find the one you are looking for!

Chenglei wished for her in his heart or whatever that was left there as she's the one who held his heart and left the Manor asking Lin Mubai to follow him.

"Mingxia!", the Emperor squatted in front of her. "Everything will be fine..."

"Hmpf!", she snorted. How long will she believe that lie? Nothing is going to be fine anymore... Nothing! Every time they get close to each other, something happens to separate them. Maybe... Just maybe I should let him go...

I should let him go!

"Ahhhh!", she screamed holding her head with all the strength she had left in her body and her eyes welled up with tears once more. She fell in the floor and cried, convulsing heavily, Pitifully, miserably, shamelessly not caring for anything or anyone... She cried... She cried till her head felt heavy and her eyes puffed up... Till her nose got blocked and she couldn't breath through her nose, she cried...

Letting him go... Should I do that...? She wondered.

But the most important question was not 'Should she let him go?' but it was 'Could she let him go?'

Well, could she? Could she let him go? Chasing after him- Isn't that all she knew till now? And will he comeback if I just cease to exist.? Will he remember me if I die?

She gathered her strength and stood up. It is no use crying anymore. He did what he did... It cannot be reversed.

She stood up to leave and the Emperor got to her and he wanted to tell her some comforting words but he didn't know what, "Mingxia... ", he started, searching for more words to tell her.

"Mingxia...", she snorted at her own name... The name that was written in the book of fates. Her mother did change her fate right from her name.

Why is he remembering her when he doesn't? Why is that only he forgot her? Why? She'd take everyone else forgetting her over him forgetting her anytime!

Let's test if he remembers me after I die?

"Huang Mingxia is no more!", she said and the divine sword appeared in her hand. She had an odd smile that showed that she has renounced everything... A pure smile like that of a child.... And she slashed her sword right at her neck... Before anyone could react... Who could beat her in sword even if they tried?

*Cut*

"No.....!", the resounding shouts of the two men were heard.

But she stood there... Out of sorts... The sword she held in her hands had no blood in it... Thankfully!

Her beautiful braided golden hair fell on the floor with a thump. Her beautiful locks that brought the envy of many was now trash in the floor... Just like he saw her....! Trash!

She stood there dazed with her shoulder length hair waving frantically in the wind just as her heart was.... She should have cut her neck... She should have...

But she couldn't!

In the end, it was still his voice she heard,

"Live!"

She couldn't end her life even after he called her trash and left her. She hated herself for that as much as she hated him for not trusting her. He trusted her at all times and the one time he didn't, this happened...!

Still... She valued the promise she made him even though he forgot all the promises he made her and decided to live.

She snorted remembering the last time he looked at her coldly and the promise he made her. She told him that day that she'd rather her heart stop beating than see his cold eyes.

You promised me, my Prince! ... You promised on my beating heart that you won't look at me coldly ever again...! So why...?

But she knew, today... His eyes turned cold in an attempt to bring back her heartbeat according to him.

What should she do? Where should she go? Didn't she promise him that she'd disappear and never see him again if he looked at her coldly? What should she do?
