Chapter 142 When the Female Supporting Character Becomes the Male Lead’s White Moonlight (9)
Ling Jinxing just stood there quietly, like a cold and elegant sculpture, his eyes as sharp as torches, fixed on the two extremely distorted faces of Zhibai and Moye.
The two of them struggled by the bone-dissolving pool, and every wail sounded like the last gasp of a soul being roasted in the fire of hell.
Zhibai felt at this moment as if he was being gnawed by countless tiny ants. Those ants had sharp teeth and were tearing his flesh and blood one bite at a time. Each bite was accompanied by excruciating pain.
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!" His voice was filled with tears, and his eyes were fixed on Ling Jinxing, as if she was the only god who could save him from the dire situation. "You, please be magnanimous and let me go this time!"
Ling Jinxing chuckled, with a hint of mockery and disdain in his laughter.
She raised her hand and gently stroked her silky long hair, her eyes glittering with a playful glint. "Let you go? Humph, when you were in the mortal world, did you ever have any mercy on me? Did you ever have any mercy on those annoying people? Back then, you were so arrogant and proud."
When he was on earth, he was high and mighty.
He claims to be the god of the nine heavens, an arrogant god.
Now I'm like a disgusting worm trying to grab a glimmer of hope.
Mo Ye, who was standing aside, had eyes full of resentment and unwillingness. He stared at Ling Jinxing intently, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces with his eyes.
"What's the point of begging her? Isn't it just death? We have practiced for many years, should we be afraid of just a mere death?" His voice was hoarse and firm, but it could not hide the trembling in it.
Ling Jinxing raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, you are quite courageous. Don't worry, I, Ling Xin, always keep my word. If I say I will make you wish you were dead, I will never let you off easily."
As she finished her words, the water in the bone-dissolving pool suddenly boiled, as if countless evil spirits were roaring in it.
The scalding steam rose up, baking the surrounding air scorching hot.
Zhibai and Moye's pain also intensified. Their bodies twisted in the heat wave, and every inch of their skin was suffering unimaginable torture.
Mo Ye's face, which had been calm at first, turned hideous. "Ling Xin, if you don't let us go today, we will tear you into pieces when we escape. You will be left with neither life nor death!"
Hearing this, Ling Jinxing smiled even brighter. "Oh, threatening me? I just like seeing you trying to hold on even though you're clearly scared to death. Let's talk about it when you can get out. But I guess by then, you won't even have the energy to speak."
Since ancient times, the Bone-Dissolving Pool has been a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind. No one who enters it can come out intact.
"Hmph, what's the point of showing off your words now? The Bone-Dissolving Pool will let you know how powerful it is!" Ling Jinxing raised the corner of his mouth with a playful smile, his eyes flashing with a gleam of anticipation.
The next day, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and onto the eerie bone-dissolving pool.
Ling Jinxing walked over again and saw that the two guys who were so arrogant yesterday were now like eggplants hit by frost. Their skin was as red as boiled shrimps, as if they had really been peeled off a layer of skin.
"Hey, aren't these the two 'tough' big brothers from yesterday? How come you can't even utter a word today?" Ling Jinxing teased in pretended surprise, his tone full of joking.
The two men no longer had any of the arrogance they had yesterday. They just lowered their heads, trembling, and didn't even have the courage to look up at Ling Jinxing.
"Hey, look at how cowardly you are, it's really disappointing. Although Luo Li is a silly girl, at least she dares to take responsibility for her actions. Unlike you, you don't even have the courage to admit your mistakes." Ling Jinxing shook his head, his tone revealing a bit of disdain.
"Speaking of which, Luo Li is really unlucky to have such stupid teammates like you. She has put the truth in front of you, but you are still like blind people. Not only do you not believe it, but you also cruelly kill her! Zhibai, Zhibai, when you wake up in your dreams at midnight, won't you be scared to death by her wronged ghost?" Ling Jinxing crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing Zhibai's heart.
When Zhibai heard this, his body trembled and his face became even paler, as if he was really possessed by something terrifying.
He also hated himself for not believing what Luo Li said, and was instigated by this woman to kill his beloved woman with his own hands!
"Shut up!" Zhibai roared.
"What? Did I get it right? Haha, I knew that people like you have darker hearts than the Bone-Dissolving Pool!" Ling Jinxing laughed loudly, with a bit of madness and unruliness in his laughter.
"But don't be too pessimistic. After all, being alive is better than being dead, isn't it? Although Luo Li is gone, you can still continue to live on. Maybe one day you will encounter some adventure and sing like a liberated serf!" Ling Jinxing changed the subject, his tone full of teasing and provocation.
When the two men heard this, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear.
From then on, Ling Jinxing's life became a fixed trajectory. Every day, he would shuttle between the sect and the dreaded bone-dissolving pool, like a cold-eyed judge, witnessing the gradual disappearance of Zhibai and Moye's lives.
Day after day, the bodies of the two men were eroded by the bone-melting pool, gradually becoming thinner and thinner, until finally, only a lonely head was left, making the final struggle with the world.
The expressions in their eyes, from initial struggle and unwillingness, slowly changed to resignation and despair, and finally to dead silence, as if expressing their endless desire for life and helpless acceptance of death.
"Hey, Zhibai, Moye, have you felt the passing of life today? Do you think that this bone-dissolving pool is more cruel and ruthless than you imagined?" Ling Jinxing stood by the pool with a playful smile on his lips, and his tone contained both sarcasm and a bit of inexplicable emotion.
Although the two heads could no longer speak, the complex emotions revealed in their eyes seemed to be telling Ling Jinxing thousands of words.
They were once influential figures in the world of immortals and demons, but now they have ended up like this. How can we not sigh?
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm helping you get rid of it. After all, this world is too dirty, and your existence will only make it dirtier." Ling Jinxing chuckled, but his tone revealed an indescribable madness and determination.
As time went by, Zhibai and Moye's heads gradually lost their vitality, and finally disappeared into the abyss of the bone-dissolving pool along with the remaining bones, as if they had never existed.
As a result, the fairy world ushered in unprecedented peace.
All the disputes and conflicts that once arose because of Zhibai and Luoli have now vanished with their disappearance.
The entire fairyland seemed to be cleansed by a mysterious force, becoming peaceful and harmonious.
