The tale of Chu Qie

Chapter 9

"Oh..," he looked at me strangely then prying my hands then gently shoving me in front,"Aiya, didn't you implied that in your book there is no 'we'. And you even said that you wouldn't care even if you met any danger. Of course, I'm just being considerate on your request."

I was rendered speechless by how he really proves his an opportunist," Y-Yo-You... Good. Good," gritting my teeth I glared at him once we get out of this scary cave, I'll t*****e his lover! Because my surname will be Loser if I have not done such a thing.

"Hmmph, indeed a heartless man why did I even admire such man in the past. I think its a good thing that I forgot my memories. And now I regret going here to retrieve such memories!"

After shouting at him, I angrily stomp my foot and walk away. Trying to find the exit I notice something fishy.

The maze is changing paths! I hurriedly ran in different ways. Everything is all the same, I turned left, right, left, right...

"In the end what I met was a big blocking wall, and it's like mocking me."

I was breathless and unenergetically sulking at one side. Then I heard footsteps and each step is making a sound which is creepy. I hid the pearl in my sleeves and the pitch black once again reigned in the cave.

My heart was as fragile as a glass thus it keeps on beating loudly and a little scare would frighten me to death.

The smell of a rotting corpse infiltrated my nose. Its raspy breath could be heard while it gave a gurgling sound.

I tried my best to hide while his footsteps were getting closer and closer to my direction.

Slowly I took out the pearl and its light illuminated the whole place. And before me, I come in face to face with the strangest monster I have ever seen. Why do I say that? Well, technically its body is made from body parts alike from me. And hands and feet were all dangling from his body.

Oh well, I can beat this monster. Summoning a long sword I readied my fighting stance. We were both looking at each other, waiting who should attack first.

Its claws were moving and this caught my attention. Then I look at its eyes which is made from different human eyes or even from a lowly demon or god. When it would blink each eye would twitch. Giving me shivers on my spine, I think I should sit this one out.

In a millisecond I run like a mad woman! I can't face such thing because I think I am more bothered at how its shape like a big spider! It's like its claws are like crawling in my skin! And I realized I think I hate spiders!

"Aaaahhhhh!!!," Screaming crazily, my hands waving in the air while the gigantic monster is after me. I look behind and threw the long sword. And continued screaming."Don't follow this lady!"

When I saw general who is full of blood and is looking left to right like he is looking for someone.

Well, never caring about his thoughts like a monkey I climb him. I hug his head and cried pitifully.

"Wuwuwu, a disgusting monster appeared! Its claws are like crawling on my bare skin! You hear me!"

I was screaming hysterically while the general was trying to pry off my octopus-like grip from his head and my legs clamped on him deadlock.

"Mhdjducndkk...," he mumbled and I can feel him screaming. Because my baby fats were muffling his face.

"I can't understand your stupid language! Hurry up and kill that insect!!," I cried while shaking him.

When he finally loosen my grip, he angrily retorted.

"Are you trying to kill me with your fats!"

"I'll argue with you later but first get rid of that eeky insect! Or I'll go insane!" I angrily held his cheeks and made him see the incoming monster.

When the monster fired its web from its butt. I used the general face as my plank and jump to the highest part of the rock. While he was below angrily looking at me while a trace of boots was imprinted in his face.

His pent-up frustrations on me were angrily lashed to the human body made a giant spider. Its like he imprinted my image in that spider! Hey! This beauty of mine is even contrasted to that ugly thing. How do I know this? Well, he kept on chanting my name while slashing and dissecting the vermin.

After exterminating the vermin he was a little more composed.

"Stop being in a daze! You look like an i***t and not cool! Hurry up and let this beauty down!"

But of course, I exist to ruin such beautiful self-admiration.

He looks at me then smiled and happily stretch his arms. Indicating that he would catch me.

Happily, I jump and then suddenly thought this man is not a real gentleman, he is a petty one! Too late in realizing such thing, he already took a step backward. Causing me to kiss the ground.

"Stupid General! You made the ground violate my lips! That was my first kiss and yet it was taken by a lowly ground!"

He roared in laughter while looking at me disheveled.

I pulled myself up and was very upset while patting the dust from my clothes. I really hate this crazy cave!

I walk away while cursing him from head to foot however due to the dimness--alright my stupidity and blindness I never notice the hole and fell.

"Aahhh!!," a shrill scream escape my mouth while I close my eyes waiting for another fast sliding. However I only heard a grunt.

"Tss, hurry up and stop acting. Hold onto my arms and climb up!"

His face constricting in pain. I hurriedly cooperated.

When I got out I thank him, then I held some of his robe to stop being lost again. We were quiet for a moment.

"Sooo... I wanted to ask this, how did you and Kang mei become lovers?"

He stops for a moment hearing my question then glanced at me. Like he was trying to see if I was mocking him or laughing at his freakiness.

"Why do you ask? Its none of your business anyway," he merely replied.

A rising pain from my heart made me question myself. Why am I hurting? I don't even know this man?

"Oh, I just felt your love story is a unique one. And maybe you have fight for this relationship for a very long time. It must be hard, right?," I blabbered,"You fought so hard to keep such a lovely secret to remain only into your own two little worlds. You have always wanted to scream your love to the whole realms yet was unable to. It must be frustrating, right?" while remembering how they look at each other lovingly unexpectedly made my heart churn in pain. And it was quiet scaring the hell out of me! I just realize being alone with this man while discussing such thing, arises a foreign emotion in my heart. I really want an out!

"I feel even more guilty trapping you in this marriage. Don't worry I will not try to remember my memories anymore or it will bring more conflict and problems to you."

This time I let go of his robe I am clinging to and went ahead.

What San'er said was right. I think it is better to leave such memories.... *drip*

I felt my eyes go a little bit blurry.

I look at my tear stained hand and a lot of question were blowing my mind away.

Why am I crying? Why am I feeling such emotion? To whom am I crying? Why am I being like this? Why? Why? Why?

Steeling my mind, I wipe my tears and walk tall.

'I need to break this marriage once and for all!'
