  • Dying In The Male Lead’s Arms Every Time I Transmigrate

    Chapter 56 We’ll meet again

    Shi Qi knew that the person in his arms had taken her last breath. He stared ahead with unblinking eyes, his gaze akin to an ancient well, darkness lurking within his limpid green irises.

    Seeing that the figure still remained only indicated that the person was still present.

    Ning Meng’s soul flew out of Ning Ning’s body.

    And before she could even react, the system brought her into the darkness while saying at the same time, “The yin air here is very heavy, you can’t dwell here any longer.”

    Shi Qi started to speak, “You…”

    Before he could finish his words, he saw a figure floating out of the body and the familiar figure simply vanished in front of him.

    His breathing hitched as he held a hand out to try and grab her.

    However, he only caught air as the figure before him disappeared, her familiar facial features fading away as though it had never appeared.

    Shi Qi shifted, “There’s no need to.”

    His voice was as calm and unrippled as always, yet it made a chill run down her spine.

    Qiu Keke wanted to ask but a thought popped into her mind and her face grew pale, especially when she saw what Shi Qi had done next, her whole person nearly about to collapse.

    Was Ning Ning already dead?

    A person came forward and handed the dagger to Shi Qi.

    Shi Qi received it and saw that there were still blood stains on the surface and he gently wiped it off with a napkin making it soon recover its original appearance.

    On the edge of the area was the man who was caught.

    Shi Qi stood at his side, talking to him in fragments, each phrase coming out of his mouth indifferently slashing him.

    Not too long later, Qiu Keke saw that his exposed skin was covered in wounds and blood.

    Ning Ning was placed at the side, cushioned with clothes. She walked over to take a look and confirmed that she was no longer breathing even if she was clearly alive and kicking not too long ago.

    She sniffled but didn’t dare cry out.

    The movements not too far away also let Qiu Keke understand a bit of what was going on from the man’s discontinuous words.

    This person was clearly in his middle years but looked like an elderly citizen due to dabbling in sorcery, his appearance unsightly beyond comparison.

    And his daughter was just 18 years old, the peak of her youth. She was walking late at night one day after school and was assaulted by a group of hoodlums. In the end, she chose to jump off a building and take her own life.

    Everything he did was for the sake of resurrecting his daughter back to life.

    In the end, he realized that resurrection was impossible, so he chose to refine corpses, coming to this heavily yin place from the city and searching for all kinds of yin girls.

    The constitution had to be of yin nature and if they still had their chastity intact, it would be even better. As such, his gaze fell on the young girls who were still in senior high.

    Qiu Keke knew that she herself and Ning Ning, as well as Lu Lu and Lu Shu all had yin constitutions, however, Ning Ning’s constitution was more prominently yin.

    That was why when he discovered the people in the car, he decisively chose to take her away and bleed her dry, even planning to use her body if he had to.

    His scheme was just a few steps away from attaining fruition.

    But now, everything was ruined.

    “….Hahaha…shouldn’t they be honored…to die for the sake of my Jiaojiao….cough cough cough..” The man smiled, “Hahaha…the girl is truly..”

    Shi Qi did not take any action on him, instead, he said a few more words in a low voice.

    Soon after, a few people from the Shi Family dug out a female corpse from an area. The female corpse was very clean, the coffin was also very pretty. Its figure wore an exquisite dress and a talisman was even stuck onto its face.

    The man’s breathing stopped in an instant, his gaze fixated on it.

    Shi Qi crouched beside him and pinched his face, “Take a good look at it.”

    The man started to gasp for breath, blood filling up his lungs and the taste of iron spreading in his mouth. His head felt fuzzy as he turned his head to the side.

    Seeing his daughter’s corpse, he started crawling towards it, however, just as he reached halfway, before he could even touch the corpse, it suddenly caught fire and turned into ashes in just mere seconds.

    The man stared dumbfounded in front of him before glaring hatefully at the youth, saying, “….It was you…you did this…”

    Shi Qi chuckled lightly, “It was me.”

    The man started to crawl towards him, pulling his leg and intending to bite him hard but he was kicked away in the next moment, letting out an anguished cry.

    Qiu Keke stood far away from them, protected by two people.

    She watched Shi Qi slash his skin again and again, severing his limbs and anguished cries echoed in the forest.

    She shifted her eyes away, panting for breath, feeling it incredulous.

    Shi Qi was treating that person mercilessly but in her heart, she felt that that person deserved it; it was just that the sight to fit made her frightened.

    The scent of blood scattered everywhere but quickly vanished.

    After some time had passed, Qiu Keke’s heart started beating like drums until she finally heard Shi Qi’s voice, “Done.”

    Advertisements

    She turned her head to look and saw that the man was lying on the ground, his black clothes drenched in blood as his body continued to spasm but soon came to a stop.

    Qiu Keke covered his mouth and didn’t dare make a sound.

    It was the first time she had ever thought of Shi Qi as terrifying.

    Qiu Keke didn’t think that Shi Qi would find the girl involved once they returned to school.

    Looking at the dark person with her hair in disarray, she struggled to identify her for a long time before finally figuring her out, “You’re…Xu Yan!”

    She still remembered who Xu Yan was.

    When they had just entered City One, they all had their first semesters together and were only separated into arts and sciences in the following semester. Before they were split into their own classes, they both were in the same class, Shi Qi included.

    City One Middle School had plenty of impoverished yet excellent students so those who were gifted would be selected during the semester and be given a scholarship.

    However, this scholarship was only given to students who were truly impoverished, a panel of judges were to be formed in class who would judge them based on their attire, their expense as well as the genuine affixed materials they used.

    After all, there could only be a limited number of students selected in class.

    In order not to be deceived, the school picked out a couple of people in each class to serve as the jury and carry out an inspection and family visit on the students who applied.

    She and Lu Lu were coincidentally one of the chosen ones.

    The materials Xu Yan applied for looked to be compliant with the standards, it had also gotten approval from the committee, but when they visited her home, they found something amiss.

    It came to them as a surprise. They went to the village Xu Yan lived in which was pulled from the records and discovered that her home had the best conditions in the village.

    Among their class, one student lived in even worse conditions than she did and their grades were even more remarkable, so naturally, they had picked them in the end.

    Qiu Keke sneered coldly, “You harbored hard feelings all because of a scholarship?”

    She really didn’t imagine that all for the sake of a little scholarship, one would harbor such a big hatred and do such a thing.

    Xu Yan’s eyes were brimming with panic as she flatly denied her accusations, “It’s not..It’s not me…I didn’t do it!”

    Her reaction was proof of everything.

    Qiu Keke really wanted to tear her heart out but was stopped by Shi Qi. When she got to school the next day, Xu Yan had disappeared.

    As soon as she and Shi Qi went to Ning Ning’s home, Liang Fengmei never expected to receive such news and immediately cried until she lost consciousness, only waking up the next day.

    After all, Qiu Keke and Ning Ning told lies, saying that she was sleeping over at her house, now that she had to receive this kind of news, Qiu Keke naturally felt guilty.

    Moreover, this matter had also happened because of her.

    If she hadn’t received the painting, Ning Ning wouldn’t have been implicated and wouldn’t have died.

    After getting out of the hospital, Qiu Keke turned her head to Shi Qi and saw that his expression was cold, without the slightest difference from before.

    She opened his mouth, “About Ning Ning…”

    Shi Qi turned his head, “It’s nothing.”

    Qiu Keke thought that his reaction was a little strange but didn’t know why. In the end, she couldn’t say the words stuck in her mouth.

    The next month, Xu Yan no longer came to school but nobody was suspicious. Even the police didn’t come to find her and Qiu Keke eventually learnt what had happened behind the scenes.

    It was as if the people in the classroom had forgotten Ning Ning.

    As it turns out, the seat was empty. Ning Ning came, sat there for a semester and now had come empty again.

    Qiu Keke would turn her head to look at the side everyday with her throat parched.

    At times, she wanted to go over and ask Shi Qi about the things that happened but upon meeting his gaze, she would be overcome with timidness.

    She had been knocked out cold whereas Ning Ning was taken away.

    This was inexcusable. Qiu Keke couldn’t help but replay the events of the that time over and over, but also felt like she couldn’t do anything else.

    Even if she wasn’t knocked out cold, she still couldn’t stop those events from happening.

    The nervousness of taking the college entrance exams dulled those feelings  in her heart. Qiu Keke put most of her time in studying and unexpectedly made a lot of progress.

    As time continued to pass, Shi Qi came to the class less and less, yet his grades seem to contrarily get better, making one feel desperately inferior.

    Qiu Keke occasionally went to Ning Ning’s home to lend Liang Fengmei a hand and as time passed, she had calmed down from that situation.

    Before the college entrance examinations, the students all signed their yearbooks. Qiu Keke left a paper blank and earnestly wrote Ning Ning’s name, leaving the rest blank.

    In the end, she left this at her bookshelf.

    On the day of the college entrance exams, Qiu Keke finally saw Shi Qi at the school she was designated to take the exams at.

    Shi Qi had also seen her but only gave her a light nod. Upon carefully looking at him again, his figure disappeared among the crowd.

    Qiu Keke sighed.

    …..

    After coming out of the exam venue, Shi Qi went straight home.

    There remained two people at the small cottage and his room was very silent. Nobody made a ruckus on the floor above and at this moment, two paper dolls were sitting in order.

    The weasel underneath paced back and forth, wanting to bite them down but to no avail and it didn’t dare leap up.

    Upon seeing Shi Qi come home, it paused and wagged its tail, running back to its nest, pretending as if nothing had happened.

    The two paper dolls finally dared to move at this time, running around.

    Shi Qi sat in front, taking out a thin book and gently flipping it open, revealing the slightly yellow pages.

    The handwriting on it remained very clear.
