His Rui

'No …it's others who is responsible for what happened to your wife.'

A whisper rang in the silent room.

Sitting beside Li Rui, Xi Ying who was tracing every feature of his wife's face lovingly couldn't hear that whisper but the Xi Ying who was standing silently a step away from Li Rui could hear.

His red eyes that had been blank and continuously staring at Li Rui flickered with confusion as he registered the words said in this whisper in his mind.

'You should avenge her death…you should punish those who are responsible for the death of your son and wife…'

The whispering voice said again.

However, Xi Ying sitting on the edge of the bed was so lost in mourning over his wife's death that he couldn't hear anything else.

He gathered his wife's small body in his arms and lovingly kissed her forehead.

"My Rui…wake up once …please…I beg you… "

Xi Ying pleaded

He shall not let her go again if she woke up just once.

However, Li Rui never woke up.

Tears streamed down Xi Ying's eyes but those tears could make anyone scare out of his wits.

Because they were tears of blood.

Xi Ying's face that had the traces of bloody tears looked very scary making him look like a devil totally.

"My Rui... Am I being selfish If I say that I want you to become my wife in the next life also? I promise that I shall not make you regret meeting me then. I shall love you…make you smile …have our own family with you, grow old with you…"

"Even if you hate me for doing this…I will still follow you in the death…"

"No…"

A shout rang in the room as soon as Xi Ying finished his words.

His bloody red eyes rose to stare at the person who no one knew had appeared in the room out of nowhere.

A very beautiful man stood in the mid of the room …just in front of Xi Ying. White hair ran down his waist and he had a gentle smile on his lips as he said to Xi Ying.

"You can't die like this. You know that it is not you who was solely responsible for this. How can you die without avenging your wife and child's death?"

The man persuaded Xi Ying confidently.

However Xi Ying's face remained cold and indifferent.

His red blood eyes stared at the man closely but only for a moment…he soon moved his eyes back to his wife that was lying unmoving in his arms.

"But Rui….it was my duty to protect you…"

The man's eyes flickered with confusion and panic when he saw that Xi Ying was not getting affected his words at all.

The gentle smile on his lips had already faltered as he looked at the woman lying in Xi Ying's arms with pursed lips and said

"It's something that she had chosen herself. You can't blame yourself for all this. The only thing that you can do is kill those who had made her suffer. Zhao Wang Lei, Princess Wenling …and many other people from Imperial Family…not only Imperial family but there are many others who were involved with Imperial family who had done everything to destroy Li Clan…"

Xi Ying's eyes flickered when he heard the man's words.

Still looking at Li Rui, he whispered questioningly

"Who are you?"

The man was startled to hear such a question but he soon composed himself. He looked very proud as he answered Xi Ying's question

"I am the one who controls everyone's destiny …everything that happened in mortal's life is decided by me."

The man had thought that by telling Xi Ying this, he would be able to control him more. He had thought that Xi Ying would feel oppressed by him after he introduced himself.

But he underestimated Xi Ying's intelligence, his love for Li Rui, and his desire to make that woman his from the very start.

Caressing Li Rui's cheeks, Xi Ying whispered darkly

"So you are very powerful…"

The man smiled gently and said humbly

"You can say that."

Xi Ying finally raised his head to look at the proud god of destiny. His eyes filled with red blood tears stared at him and he whispered darkly again.

"Then you can give life to my Rui again."

The man was shocked by what Xi Ying said. A moment later, pure anger showed in his eyes, and his lips were pressed in a thin line as he said calmly

"Ni I can't do that. It had already been written in her destiny. Now my work is to ensure that everything goes the way it is written. That's why I am here to tell you not to do anything stupid otherwise you will have to pay for that. Avenge your wife and child's death and save the Empire from the doom it was going towards."

Xi Ying's eyes didn't flicker even a bit after whatever the man said. He looked at his wife again and traced her dry lips with his finger.

There was a creepy smile on his lips that made the god of destiny very confused.

"But you need me to do all that…you need me to ensure that whatever you have written goes that way …"

A moment later he heard Xi Ying and his eyes flickered with panic.

He was about to open his mouth but what he was afraid of was already done.

The dagger in Xi Ying's hands pierced his chest.

Blood trickled down but Xi Ying didn't look in pain at all. The smile was still spread over his lips as he looked at the god of destiny and said

"What If I die? You will have to start all of this over again…right?"

The god of destiny had his lips pressed in a thin line and Xi Ying understood that whatever he was saying was true.

All these things he had only read in those books and had never thought that this can be true also. But he will do everything to make Li Rui come again in his life again.

"You didn't write her in my destiny. Believe me …if this started again and if she left me again like this then I shall...die again. So write her in my destiny before you start this game all over again."

Saying this, Xi Ying pierced his own chest with the dagger again.

Not a single painful groan escaped from his mouth.

The God of destiny stood there with a pair of eyes that were filled with shock, disbelief, and anger.

But he could do nothing except see Xi Ying caressing Li Rui's face for the last time with a gentle smile.

"My Rui…"

Xi Ying whispered before he breathed his last with Li Rui in his arms.
