LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS Chapter 377

"Why aren't you watching your back, stupid!, a familiar voice echoed amidst the sound of clashing swords .

Xing saw herself standing in the middle of an ambush where the entire Ming family was targeted . The carriages were burning and smoke clouded her vision and she could hear Shurei and the little baby's whimper .

" I'm not stupid! ", she shouted and tried to get Baobei who was beside her but before she could touch the boy, everything around her disappeared in a whisp of smoke .

As she passed through the smoke with her face covered, she was in a courtyard engulfed in flames . The heat was rising and even the sound of the burning wood and the embers rising before her were very discernable reminding her of the day her courtyard burned .

That was a day she felt helpless!

But when she looked around, she realised it was her father's courtyard and there she saw behind the wooden partition, her father, her brother and little Ruoxin .

"No . . . ", she screamed as she tried to get to them but everything in front of her crumbled like she touched a sculpture made of ash making her heart break .

What is going on?

Before Xing could get a sense of what is happening, the scene changed more serene as she was leaning on Chenglei in the warm embrace of the evening sun and the gentle breeze, watching the flow of a gentle stream of river flowing through the rocks making a soothing melody .

" Xing . . . My love!", Chenglei's whispered much more sweeter than the best honey she'd tasted and more tempting than any books she'd read and surprisingly it soothed her almost immediately .

Is this real?

Xing raised her fingers to touch him and before her fingertips could reach him, she saw his expression turning to hate and coldness, "Who are you?", he asked and the surroundings turned to a blizzard and they were at a cliff with an abyss around it .

His white robes fluttered in the heavy wind with the snow falling all around and some rested on his silver hair making it look like pearls . But all she could see was his leaving back and with no other thoughts she ran behind him .

" Stop! My Prince, what . . . ", Xing spoke in a loud manner since she thought that he could not hear her because of the blizzard and not because he didn't care for her . Without caring for the coldness his back emitted she followed him and her feet made scrunching noises on the snow .

She wrapped the wolf fur cloak she was wearing around her tightly and she could see him moving towards the edge of the cliff .

"Chenglei . . . . Stop . . . ", she screamed .

"Don't come near me! I don't want your dirty hands to touch me . . . ", he looked back at her with his eyes filled with despise making her feel ashamed for some reason .

"I should have realised what a promiscuous woman you are by the way you acted wantonly around me . Despicable trash! " he said and before hearing her reply, Xing saw him in his white robes and silver hair, merging with the milky white fog around and disappearing .

" I'm not a trash . . . . You are the only one I've been with . . . . ", Xing tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth .

Xing felt tears falling from her eyes and even they went cold by the icy cold weather around her .

Why did he say that? Why?

Xing ran towards him and tried to hold him but all she could see was the thick fog where he disappeared into and she just wandered around searching for him .

"I will take your everything!", the sneering voice of Zhu Rong echoed in the endless abyss that was entirely white all around but Xing could not sense her or see her .

Weird! Xing thought, All my nightmares . . . Am I Dreaming?

Xing was entirely confused by everything happening and she winced her eyes to see clearly as the fog got around her .

But weirdly she felt like her head was heavy and she could hear the snickers of a bunch of men and their muddled voices were heard .

"Why is she crying?"

"I thought this makes anyone ecstatic"

"Should we touch her . . . "

" She is pretty"

"He . . . he . . he . . . We are lucky!"

Xing didn't have to guess what those men are planning to do but she wondered how she would go blank like this .

She opened her eyes to see herself covered in a white powdered substance and she felt no strength in her body . She could see a bunch of men, nearly thirty of them in the room she was held in . She knew this room . It was one of the abandoned courtyards in the inner palace .

So I'm still inside the inner palace!

Xing knew of this place because she discovered it accidentally one fine day when she took a walk and got lost .

Whose deed is this? Weiye?

Her hands and legs weren't tied even though she felt like it were . Her heart was racing and she had trouble breathing . It seemed like those men stuffed her with something . She tried to figure out the power on her . It had no distinct odour and it didn't taste like anything too .

What is this? Wait . . .

I'm drugged! Is this the drug Chenglei talked about?

Xing wondered how she would be affected by the drug and more importantly how did they capture her?

That's when she remembered the rouge Weiye threw at her . That should have been mixed with the drug too . But why does a opioid that gives out of body experience giving me nightmarish delusions?

Xing tried if she could contact Fei Lian . . . . Then she remembered how he is forbidden to meet her .

As usual! When I need him terribly he won't be near!

Xing took a deep breath . She could feel some spells around that would hide her from demons .

So Bai Li and the shadow guards of the Heavenly Flowers Palace can't get to me too . . . Haru and Chenglei won't be here either!

I'm alone!

Xing composed herself bit by bit trying to regain her strength . Now that she is alone, it is upto her to protect herself .

"Is she awake?"

"I thought this is a strong drug and she won't wake up"

The men mumbled and snickered among themselves and Xing wondered who arranged these men to humiliate her . Then she remembered the words of Chu Weiye .

Surely it is Weiye but why isn't she here to admire her handiwork? Is there more people involved?

"Well, well!", another familiar voice Xing despised was heard by the door . "Why haven't you guys started yet? Is the pay less? Do you want more?", Takano's evil intent seeped in the tone of her voice making Xing smirk .

So it is her . . . If she is here . . .

"Look how perfect she is . . . Who'd want money to have a taste of her . . . . Sister! Why did you hire this many men . Ask them to wait outside, let me first . . . "

"No, brother! You should not touch someone like her", Takanashi's lecherous voice was interjected by Takano . Her voice was firm and authoritative laced with a slight coaxing tone as she was rebuking her brother .

Xing remembered how her brother pleaded that Takano was some pure innocent flower who wanted to get out of her brother's greedy, evil hands .

How naive was everyone, including me to fall for her tears!

"Xu Mama", Xing spoke and her voice was coarse and her throat burned along with her nostrils . They must have stuffed the drug through her nose .

"You are awake!", Takano walked towards her and there was a slight fear in her tone .

So, you still fear me? You must!

Xing smirked, " Where did you bury her ?", she cleared her throat . She needed water but she knew no one's going to give her water and she didn't want to humiliate herself by asking them .

"You . . . ", Takanashi walked towards Xing and squatted beside her . "So you know I finished her off?", he tried to touch her cheek but Xing swatted his hands away .

"Ouch! Fiesty . . . That's what I like about you . . . You know how much I want you? But you never spare me a glance . . . . Do you know how much . . . "

"Where did you bury her?", Xing repeated and her words echoed in that room silencing the other mumbling men . She had no intention of listening to that bumbling fool .

Takanashi moved closer to Xing and with his fingers trying to touch her face he whispered,

"I didn't bury her . I minced her and fed her to pigs . Why do you . . . "

Before he could finish his sentence in his irksome voice, Xing's eyes glowed amber and the next moment he was pressed on the wall, with his feet dangling five feet above the ground .

"Attack her", Takano stepped backwards and asked the men to charge .

Xing still could not feel her legs but she doesn't need legs to fight . She is someone who just has to will something to happen and even gods fear her .

The moment the men took a step forward they felt like someone sucked off the last bit of oxygen from their lungs and they all fell on the floor holding their chest panting and coughing .

Takano watching everything happening tried to leave sneakily as Xing was concentrating on the men but when she reached the door, it shut right at her face and her knees trembled .

'No way! She was heavily drugged by the most powerful opioid there is . How is she still keeping her consciousness? How powerful is she? Am I going to perish here? ', Takano knelt on the floor losing her strength .

Xing didn't give those men an easy death as she never liked men who molest women .

Seriously! I don't let men hurt other women easily and it would be out of my character to let these men who accepted money to humiate me go easily . . . I am a selfish person!

Xing focused on those men with Takanashi screaming to let him down . After prolonging their agony by letting them breath for a minute and holding their breath for five minutes, for half an hour, she felt her strength returned entirely out of the hate she felt for Takanashi . In one strike she snapped all of the men's neck and they all died immediately .

Thank me! I'm gracious to let you die!

Xing stood up with her hair glowing gold and her golden aura made that run down room shimmer . Her power that only grew as days passed and that was waiting to be let out for the past three years made the entire place have a warm glow but for her enemies it looked like a beacon of death making them cower .

"Minced her and fed her to pigs? Really? ", she looked at Takanashi and he felt his throat closing .

Takano standing behind Xing could hear her brother's bone cracking .

"Please . . . No . . . . Not my brother . . . . Please!", she crawled to Xing's feet .

"Poisoned my father, didn't you?", she stepped over Takano's elbow making her writhe in pain . "Why? You wanted to be Empress and my father was too smart to thwart all your plans of dethroning Kouki?", she smirked as she heard Takanashi trying to speak for his sister .

"What a pair of lovely siblings you are . . . Hmpf! My brother and I were like that too but you had to make us stray . . . . ",she snorted and kicked a knee of Takano and she could hear the kneecap breaking followed by the writhing of Takano and her gut-wrenching scream .

" And . . . As if that was not enough, the moment I was "dead", you latched on with Weiye and instigated to start the war with the Sky Kingdom informing Banu Arsalan about her sister . . . Weiye, stupid as she is thought you were her friend not knowing you are planning to kill her husband and take her place! ", she looked at Takanashi who was surprised that she figured it out .

He thought without the Divine Ruler, the war will last longer making the people hate the Emperor and he was planning for a coup but the war ended with that battle when Maya Arsalan won against her sister in a one-on-one match .

He was hindering all the relief works sent to the Sky Kingdom hoping for an uprising but there was someone helping the war torn place secretly and helped the Wind Emperor . Come to think of it wasn't that a woman called 'Lady Hur' with eyes like the sun?

It was her? Isn't she?

Takanashi's eyes widened realising how the divine ruler, the woman glimmering gold standing in front of him had protected the Emperor even when she was no longer near the Emperor .

He had to plan for the murder Huang AoTian because he was a bigger hindrance in turning the court against the Emperor .

Everyone knows too much loyalty to the throne will only decrease the lifespan of that person .

But this one returned at the right time and brought back Huang AoTian from the deadly Jaws of death too .

"See this Takanashi?", Xing stepped on the other elbow of Takano making her almost faint and the crisp sound of bone breaking was heard by both Xing and Takanashi .

"She's pregnant!", Takanashi whose throat was tightly closed, used all his strength to utter seeing his sister writhing in pain in front of his own eyes .

This is not how he wanted to see her . . . . He wanted to see her with her phoenix headdress standing beside the Emperor of a Kingdom with her head held high .

"Oh?", Xing snorted, "So what? Is my brother infertile to have another woman and another child?", Xing had no compassion towards this pair of siblings .

"Please, forgive me . . . Your highness, please!", Takano pleaded .

"Why?", Xing smirked and she could feel someone approaching the courtyard . . .

Well brother! Time to let you know of your wife's deeds!
