Ace, who was in peak condition, was caught off guard by Louis’s voice. Her movements thus froze in mid-air, her expression still somewhat bewildered.
Si Huang’s eyes darkened. She understood that being in peak condition was really important. If Ace was interrupted now, she might not feel like this when she continued.
The girl’s pursuit of perfection might cause problems later, and besides, the result of this photo shoot was also very important to her. She didn’t want to give up like this.
Si Huang made a decisive move, grabbed Ace’s hand holding the sword, suddenly exerted force, and leaned forward herself.
Tear— the slender sword tip pierced through the gap in his armor, penetrated his clothes, and emerged from the other side.
Ace’s bewildered expression froze, her eyes widening even more incredulously as she stared at the face so close to hers.
“…” Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn’t speak.
If the other person hadn’t been holding her hand, she might have immediately lost her strength and dropped the holy sword.
“Kill me,” that beautiful voice, reminiscent of an angel’s chant, low and magnetic like a feather caressing the heart, sent shivers down her spine, dulling her thoughts. “Your achievements will make you the first war angel of Heaven, seated on the throne at the right hand of the gods.”
“Little Ace, I’ve helped you realize your dream, are you happy?”
Those eyes, those devilish dark green pupils, remained as hazy and intoxicating as ever, even the doting affection within them seemed unchanged.
Happy?
Delighted?
Ace’s eyes reddened with rage. “You demon!”
“Heh.” Si Huang chuckled, his tone indulgent towards his beloved. “Come.”
Ace felt her hand gripped tightly, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free. She could only watch helplessly as the blood-stained holy sword was slowly pulled from his side, then approached his heart.
“No! I won’t, let me go!”
“Don’t worry, what would die is just an avatar of mine. My true body has always been sealed in the abyss.” Si Huang comforted her with a smile.
This only earned her a furious, painful glare from Ace, who growled at her with an almost resentful tone, “You’re a demon, you’re a real demon! You selfish bast**d, you have no heart, destined to be alone forever!”
“What a cruel curse.” The powerful demon sighed, a sorrowful sadness emanating from his sigh.
The next moment, his hand tightened suddenly.
“Ah!” Ace cried out, her bloodshot eyes instantly filling with tears.
—Ace, what is your dream?
“I want to become the strongest war angel!
That’s great. But what does it mean to be the strongest?
Have you ever seen the first throne beneath the Father God? As long as you sit on it, you are the strongest!
Oh, you will succeed.
“Hahaha!” —
Yesterday’s conversation echoed in her ears and mind.
So you planned this all along.
You demon, you bast**d!
Ace cried loudly.
The sword tip did not actually pierce Si Huang’s heart.
The person in front of her was real, not turning into countless black feathers and dissipating as in the plot.
But Ace seemed to see that ending, her hand thus released and the slender mithril holy sword fell to the ground, her shoulders trembled, her head tilted back, her eyes wide, staring at Si Huang, crying loudly, her sobs hoarse, tears streaming down her face.
In her eyes, Si Huang saw accusation, pain and grievance and confusion, even almost affecting her. He couldn’t help but reach out to hug her, comfort her, and tell her it was all his fault, that he shouldn’t have made her so sad.
Si Huang didn’t move. If she did, the whole thing would be ruined.
Ruined.
“Demon, demon…”
Hearing Ace’s choked murmur, Si Huang sighed softly, “Yes, this is how a demon loves.”
Did the demon love Ace? Yes! For her dream, he was willing to sacrifice his hard-won free clone. The death of the clone meant the loss of freedom, and he would have to continue to taste loneliness alone in the abyss, not knowing when he could create another clone to enjoy the freedom of the outside world.
But his love couldn’t change his demonic nature, selfish, domineering, and autocratic.
He didn’t know how to love someone, acting entirely according to his own thoughts, spoiling Ace in his own way, never considering whether it was right or wrong.
Sacrificing himself to achieve Ace’s dream.
This would make little Ace happy.
He thought this and did it, without seeking Ace’s consent, without considering whether she was willing.
Even seeing Ace suffer and cry for this, he wouldn’t stop his expression of love, wouldn’t realize his mistake.
He could indulge Ace’s every temper tantrum and her accusations and curses; he would give his life and freedom for her. The demon’s love was like a fiery inferno in the abyss, intense and fierce, easily burning away.
This love could bestow the deepest affection, but it was also fraught with danger and destruction.
As Ace said, this love was too selfish.
The other was truly a demon; even love could hurt both parties.
Ultimately, who was at fault? If Si Huang were to seek an answer, she would think the most innocent one was actually the little angel Ace. She encountered someone she shouldn’t have, gave her pure feelings, got what she wanted, but the process caused her the greatest harm, both physically and mentally. If she had a choice between the strongest war angel and the ‘angel Lucy’ she loved, she would probably choose the latter.
The character of the demon was hateful, yet impossible to completely hate. Many people couldn’t help but speculate: if this demon had understood love more, if he…
Who could say that this demon’s love wasn’t pure or profound?
Si Huang watched as James came over, carefully wiping Ace’s tears, and whispered to her that the scene was filmed very successfully, and all that was needed was to take a photo of her wearing the wing prop.
“You’re still so bold!” Yu Xi walked up to Si Huang, his tone casual, but his gaze towards her revealed a hint of displeasure. “What if you couldn’t control your strength? You might get stabbed in the heart!”
Many people had been startled by Si Huang’s swift movements, and he was no exception.
Si Huang smiled at him, about to offer a few words of comfort, when the tall man grabbed her wrist.
“Come with me.” Qin Fan stared coldly at her.
Si Huang shook her head, “Let’s finish the last bit of filming…”
Before she could finish, the man interrupted her, “Applying the medicine won’t take you long.”
