The Princess And The Lord

967 Light After Dark

Jin Kai felt so pitiful, no matter what he did he could never surpass Jin Hao even after all the sacrifices he made Jin Hao was still miles away from him even though they were born to the same father why they were so different was because they had a mother different?

"I wonder if I was born to a woman like Zhuang Yao Xi I could be a better man than you?" Jin Kai muttered with a bitter look.

Should he feel sorry for Jin Kai? No, Jin Hao has little sympathy for grown men who try to make excuses for their own failure, in the end, we are all accountable for what we've done whether is good or bad.

"I don't know, whoever your mother is I'm still going to think you are annoying," Jin Hao said frankly he refused to give any consolation words to Jin Kai, he wasn't that nice.

But Jin Kai didn't seem to mind he had expected it actually he preferred Jin Hao's attitude rather than sympathetic words which made him feel even more pathetic than he already felt, Jin Kai's eyes traced Jin Hua who was holding Jin Hao's arm tightly, her eyes bright and clear without any disgust or grudge against him, maybe just a little pity but that's not surprising because he's always been like that since she was a kid that's why she can be close to Jin Hao in the end whether it's talent, skills, or family, Jin Hao always has more than him, perhaps that's why he hates him so much because that's the only thing the way he knows to cope with the truth that he had nothing.

"The demon…that Lao Min Na worshiped asked me…no, he told me to make an army for him as a gift, he will take me as his subordinate, together we will destroy…the world" Jin Kai suddenly said.

Jin Hao's expression stiffened there was something he had always felt that the Demon's plans were more complicated than he had shown. "I know the Demon wants my madam's soul to recover his powers so he can destroy the world…?" once he says it out loud it does sound a bit off for him.

Jin Kai laughed with a smirk plastered on his face "Could the Demon's plan be that simple?!" a scary smile spread across his wide face "I may not know the Demon's name or how he got here in a first-place….but I know one thing for sure…I know the Demon has played a long game…and we are the chess pieces"

"So you chose to be the pawn instead" Jin Hao makes a sardonic smile.

"If you can't beat them, join them, don't you think so, brother…." Jin Kai cynically said.

"You always have a little faith with everything" Jin Hao sighed.

for some reason Jin Hao's words made him laugh, he found it funny for a man like Jin hao to preach about his little faith when he who lost his mother was then poisoned and banished from the clan, if anyone has little faith in fellow human beings and fate should be Jin Hao but in the end, the person has to be himself, isn't that ironic.

But his laughter suddenly turned into a moan of pain, Jin Hao then noticed Jin Kai's skin contracting as if the essence of his life was taken from him, his appearance reminded him of hybrid Beasts and Lesser-demons when their energy was forcefully sucked in. Jin Kai screamed in pain, the excruciating pain make his face twist and his body convulsed.

"Let me make this easier for you," Jin Hao suddenly said.

"Try to be benevolent, huh…brother" Jin Kai sarcastically said.

"Just want to end the debt and resentment between us so we don't have to meet again in whatever life or world, I end everything today." Jin Hao summon his sword then he raised his sword and white light emitted from it.

Tears roll on Jin Hua's eyes, she didn't know why even though she hated Jin kai so much why her heart aching so much "Brother Jin…I hope you find peace"

"Goodbye…sister" he smiles warmly at Jin Hua for one last time.

Tears streamed down Jin Hua's face like a waterfall then suddenly someone covers her eyes from behind "Sssh, Don't look" Bei Li Yan's gentle voice rang in his ears.

In one quick move, Jin Kai thrust his sword into Jin Kai's chest, and a light come and filled its chest, all of a sudden Jin Hao whisper to his ear "You are a very strong opponent brother you almost got me, you know that"

A joyful smile bloom on Jin Kai's face for once in his life before the light began to swallow the remaining darkness, Jin Kai's body was filled with dazzling white light then the light broke into a brilliant light at the same time the sun shone through the cloud marking the tip of darkness.

Jin Hua cries inside Bei Li Yan's embrace "I ... I know ... He has no right to be pitied after what he does ... but ..."

"But he is your brother…" Bei Li Yan interrupted as he gently caressed Jin Hua's back, "It's okay to be sad ... It's okay, no one will blame you," Bei Li Yan's kindness only made Jin Hua cry louder.

She had never cried this hard after she thought Jin Hao died, who would have thought she will this sad for Jin Kai, it was mixed of anger, grief, remorse, and bitterness, perhaps if they weren't born in Misty Lake if their father was not Jin Gu perhaps they can still be normal siblings, perhaps they can live peacefully, if only...

The fifth elder and the others watched Jin kai's body disappear into a light that was swept away by the sun's rays, it was a bitter end for the talented young man who could have the world in his hands unfortunately he was devoured by greed and hatred.

"is it over now...?" Su Feng looks up to blinding sunlight.

"It appears so..." Su Sheng let out a long sigh of relief, finally the darkness that hovers the Misty lake clan disappears.

"At least, for now, don't forget Lao Min Na and her Demon are still around" The fifth elder expression turns gloomy at the same time the pain finally crept through his whole body as the result of the Long battle.

"Don't let your guard down because the real fight is coming and my hunch is that it will be much bigger than now" Tian Meng Ji said solemnly.

"The next fight will be on the Hwang Wu continent I guess" There was a fierce glint in Mu Jan Ge's eyes.

Suddenly from afar the third elder came rushing over, his expression was filled with stress and worry but then he immediately relaxed when he saw that the fifth elder and the others looked fine. The third elder was followed by a few juniors in his family estate in the ground then took a long stride at the Fifth Elder.

"I'm glad you're okay!" he held Fifth Elder's shoulders with both hands, looking very relieved to know The fifth elder was not seriously injured.

"Well, I wouldn't be here if The Hei Shen sect also Master Mu Jan Ge from Jiu Yun sect and master tian Meng Ji" The fifth elder humbly introduced Mu Jan Ge and tian Meng Ji as expected the third elders were shocked to see the two big senior figures being here helping them although he felt ashamed nevertheless he also feel touched by their kindness.

"Thank you very much for your help, The Misty Lake clan will forever be in debt to you and the Hei Shen sect" The Third elder genuinely grateful, the third elder and his family cupped their fist and bow his head.

"There's no need to say that, as fellow humans, we must help each other from the attacks of darkness," said Mu Jan Ge.

"Oh, what about Jin Kai?" The third elder just realized he didn't see Jin Kai anywhere.

The fifth elder shook his head sadly "Jin Kai's body was destroyed after absorbing the dark power, that is the consequence of using the Demon power and not only him, Zheng Xiu Ma, Ran Wei Zhao, and Zhuang Zhen Yao also suffered the same fate" The third The elder couldn't hide the sadness on his face, he felt heartbroken to lose all of them even though their relationship deteriorated as time passed still they were childhood friends who share fond memories together.

The wave of sadness swept over him and made his heart sink into his stomach, The third elder's expression was filled with sorrow and bitterness, he had long guessed the worst situation but still hearing it firsthand still made it hard for him to accept it.

"I see..." The third lowered his head and muttered sadly.

Not long after Mei Gu, Cha Hua, and Shui Xian arrived, at first they were shocked to see the heavy damage in the area which only left half scorched ground, they could guess how intense the previous battle was, but they immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bei Li Yan, Lan Hua, Jin Hao, and the others seemed fine.

"How much we missed" Mei Gui pouted feeling disappointed.

"You have no idea!" Lan Hua lifted her chin as she said arrogantly.

"Master Jin, Master Bei, and Miss Jin, we are glad that you are all well." Cha Hua's eyes were shining with happiness.

On the other hand, Shui Xian covered his mouth and giggled, "It seems that the relationship between Miss Jin and Master Bei is progressing quite well" she gave Bei Li Yan a thumbs up.

Lan Hua and the others were grinning from ear to ear while Jin Hao's expression darkened, "Until when are you going to hug my little sister?"

Bei Li Yan felt wronged why does he treat like a pervert, "Hey, I was just being nice here…" but he still didn't let go of his hug.

Jin Hua was startled, she realized her inappropriate behavior and then quickly pulled herself from Bei Li Yan's embrace, a second later her face turned bright red then she awkwardly wiped the tear marks on her cheeks as she did so Jin Hua notice the stain on Bei Li Yan's collar.

Jin Hua felt embarrassed even more thus she frantically apologized to Bei Li Yan "Mas...Li Yan, sorry I got your robe dirty, it's my fault! give it to me I'll wash it for you!"

"In Here?" Bei Li Yanclench his collar coyly.

Jin Hua could feel the imaginable smoke coming from the top of her head "No...no...I mean...not now" the more she tried to explain the redder her face become.

"Yeah, give the robes to me I will help you to....burn it" Jin Hao chides.
