The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Chapter 203 Cutting off a Hand to Save Life
Seeing Yun Feiyan who was constantly rolling, Shikong was very scared and anxious. He kept crying and kept asking, but there was no way to help his benefactor to relieve the pain, and he could not stop the ravage of the evil stone.

His pain was no less than that of Zhang Yunyan. His fear was not less than that of his benefactor. It seemed that he was being controlled by the evil stone, being burnt with ruthlessness and being tortured by pain.

In anxiety and pain, he was very puzzled. This jade had no harm to Yun Feiyan at first. Why did it suddenly turn on her and want to kill her? Was it because she hacked it? Was it because his benefactor protected him, which made the stone so hateful?

Seeing that the jade wanted to kill Yun Feiyan, Shikong was both angry and puzzled. It had been gentle and kind to its benefactor, and it was very quiet. Unexpectedly, it suddenly changed its personality, which was too insidious and sneaky.

It was a ferocious evil thing. Its purpose of hurting people wouldn’t be slightly changed. It would not let go of the person who had hurt it, and it would definitely take revenge on the outsiders who defied its will. It was not surprising that it was so fierce to her.

The evil stone was terrible, too sinister and insidious. It’s nothing when it was calm, but if it demonstrated its power, no one could stop it. No one could fight against it. It was fierce.

It was constantly applying the hex, and tortured his benefactor to death without mercy. What could be done now?

Shikong wiped tears and thought eagerly. He must think of a way to relieve the pain of Yun Feiyan, even if the way was that he had to die in the place of his benefactor.

However, the reality was not decided by him. His wish of dying to save her could not be realized. He had neither the ability to dispel the hex nor the ability to fight against the attack of the evil stone. It was still impossible to die in the place of her.

Shikong was extremely anxious and painful, but he could only be anxious and painful…

Time went on and on, and it ignored the pain and danger of people, and didn’t care about the culprit.

Zhang Yunyan was rolling and groaning in pain. The burning pain of the hex was unspeakable, the current was smashing her, and she felt that death was coming.

When she was about to die, she had a lot of thoughts. She was heartbroken, because she was unable to change the ending of death, and had no way to stop the tragedy.

Yunyan didn’t want to die, nor could she die, because the Zhang Family and Lin Family had given her important missions, and none of them had been completed so far. She must avenge the death of her parents and her adoptive father. She must find her younger sister Yunxia who was lost in her childhood, and brother Yuntian who had not returned after going out to find their sister…

Now, the relatives of the two families were not there. She was the only one who still lived in the world, and there were Yuntian and Yunxia whose whereabouts were unknown. If she died, all her wishes would vanish, and the hatred of the two families was destined to grieve.

If Yunxia was still alive, it was likely that she was not clear about her own origin, thus she couldn’t get back and recognize her family, nor could she have the ability to avenge her family’s hatred.

Even if Yuntian was alive, it was possible that he had limited ability. It was still extremely difficult to avenge the death of their parents.

To say the least, even if Yuntian and Yunxia had the ability to kill their enemy, they could only kill Yan Xiaopeng to avenge the death of their parents, but they couldn’t kill Feng Jiabao to avenge the death of their adoptive father Lin Hailong.

However, Zhang Yunyan had already faced death. She had no ability to make her own claims, and was unable to stop the tragedy that was being staged. Although she was extremely reluctant, she could only bear the inevitable ending–death.

Living was her desire, but it couldn’t be realized now.

Killing the enemy was the vow of her life, but there was no chance to avenge. She was going to die in the Devil’s Cave, and she had no ability to fight for her mission.

This was fate, the fate full of frustration, and the tragic fate of the two families. The reality was cruel. She couldn’t change it so she could only accept her fate.

Zhang Yunyan didn’t believe in fate, nor was she willing to be manipulated by the so-called fate. Sadly, she was powerless to make her own decision, and she could only face the cruel reality and suffer a tragic ending. Nothing could be changed.

In desperation, Yunyan was in great grief and anger. She hated the God who was so unfair and protected the wicked in every way but was indifferent to the poor people.

The bully who was also the enemy of her own family was hurting people. Why did God want to ruin her life? Those enemies were deeply sinful, but they were enjoying their lives. Her loved ones were upright and kind, but they were hurt and murdered. Where was justice?

It was said that good was rewarded and evil was punished. Why wasn’t the enemies punished, but her families had been devastated?

Zhang Yunyan hated the unjust heavenly principles and the unfair world. She hated those enemies, the demons and monsters and the horrible Devil’s Cave. She hated the jade that was going to take away her life…

In the end, she already didn’t know who to hate. She could only hate her incompetence, and hate her own fate which was so rough that she had to end her short life.

In the pain, Yunyan glanced at the unmoving Black Tiger and sighed.

There was a sad mood in the sigh, and there was also a bit of comfort. She could go to the other world and meet with her animal friend. She sighed again, and she didn’t expect that she would become a companion with Black Tiger in the other world so soon. It was heartbreaking.

There were still a lot of things left in this world, but they were all in vain. She didn’t live up to the trust of her relatives and had no face to see the dead ones of the two families.

Shikong wiped his tears and showed a grim look.

He looked at Yun Feiyan with his eyes wide open and said, “Miss, if you don’t get rid of the jade as soon as possible, you will lose your life. It’s better…It’s better to cut this hand off…”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunyan was awakened from the pain, and she looked at Shikong in surprise.

Her eyes were wide open and she immediately shouted, “No, I can’t cut my hand! With no hand, how can I take revenge? How can I kill Yan Xiaopeng and Feng Jiabao? No, absolutely no!”

Shikong felt distressed. He shed tears and sighed.

He thought about it and still advised, “Miss, keeping your life is the most important thing. You can’t lose your life in order to keep one hand. Otherwise, what is the use of the hand if you die?”

“No, I would rather die than lose this hand. Never!”

Outside the cave, Turtle Elf said some words in panic and anxiety. Although it did not know what horrible dangers had occurred in the cave, but it felt how terrible it was, and it must have endangered Zhang Yunyan’s life.

It could only believe in Shikong, and it also persuaded, “Yun Feiyan, just listen to what Shikong said. It is imperative to save your life, and this is the most important. You have to be calm, to think in the long run, and don’t abandon yourself to emotions.”

To think in the long run? How long could she live? She was going to die now. It was nonsense to talk about thinking in the long run.

Zhang Yunyan refused unhesitatingly. Even if she died, she could not discard her right hand. It was needed for revenge, and it was given by her parents. She couldn’t lose it.

The burning in her body was like a fire, and it was really unbearable. She nearly lost all her strength in the torture. She lay on the ground in pain, groaning, like a pool of mud. She was unable to turn over, and even lost the strength of shouting.

Yunyan knew that death was about to come. She no longer dreamed about living. She was just waiting for death.

Shikong was crying sadly, and he couldn’t bear to see that his benefactor was tortured to death. He still persuaded her tirelessly to give up the hand and live.

He couldn’t see Yun Feiyan die. Despite the fact that his benefactor had already refused, he quietly picked up the white Magical Dragon Sword and was ready to cut off her hand depending on the situation.

Zhang Yunyan couldn’t accept the suggestion of Shikong and Turtle Elf. She refused while groaning. She knew that she was going to die, then why bother doing this kind of unnecessary thing which was so cruel?

She was angry and sad for her unfulfilled mission, but she was no longer expecting to survive. She wished to die with a complete body.

In the Cave of Fate, it was still dark. The atmosphere was extremely horrible, and they were all cold and frightened.

The surface of the evil stone was calm and indifferent, and the colored “stars” inside were flowing at a rapid speed. They were no longer soft colors, but hot lights.

Those “stars” had become crazy, and with the raging heat waves, they were running fast in Zhang Yunyan’s body and the jade, turning into countless colored lights as beautiful as a rainbow. The beautiful “rainbow” did not bring the slightest beauty or joy, but was going to take away the young life.

Zhang Yunyan had entered the subconsciousness and was going to pass out. There was still some consciousness in her mind so that she knew she was leaving the world, and then she would go to the underworld with Black Tiger to face the dead relatives.

Yunyan thought of the dead relatives. She was sadder because the hatred had not been avenged. She failed the expectation of the two families, thus she had no face to meet her ancestors and the relatives of Lin family.

Shikong was anxious. Seeing that his benefactor was going to die, he could no longer hesitate. In order to preserve the life of his benefactor, he must make up his mind and immediately start it now.

This determination was too cruel and too terrible. It was difficult to do, but he couldn’t hesitate.

In order to save Zhang Yunyan’s life, Shikong could no longer wait, but he could not bear to be so cruel to his benefactor. He was so afraid and anxious that he kept turning around. He was lonely and helpless, and he could only resort to Turtle Elf.

Shikong shed tears and said, “Turtle Elf, Yun Feiyan can’t hold on anymore. She was going to die. I think… I want to cut down her right hand. Maybe it can save her life, or it may hurt her. You see… What should I do? What should I do…”

“Ah, she really can’t hold on?! Oh, how could this be?”

Turtle Elf looked as if it was hit by a thunder. It was flustered. It sighed with tears.

Time was limited, and they must rescue their friend. It immediately urged, “Shikong, don’t hesitate, just make your decision, and keeping her life is the most important thing to do. Even if there is the slightest chance, we have to fight for it. As long as it is to save her life, we can’t hesitate. Just do what should be done. Time is limited, you should do it quickly. Be quick, a little delay may ruin her.”

Shikong wiped the tears on his face, and made up his mind that if cutting off the right hand could save the life of Yun Feiyan, he would do his utmost to help the benefactor to alleviate the pain and danger.

To say the least, if his benefactor couldn’t live, he would not live alone. Because he had broken the wrist of the benefactor by himself, it was a sin that must be atoned for his own life.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind, lifting the shiny Magical Dragon Sword.

There was no way. It was helpless to abandon a hand to save life. It would be the only way for his benefactor to live, and the only choice to save her.

Looking at Zhang Yunyan who was already unconscious, he hesitated while making the decision. Aiming at her right hand which was holding the evil stone, he hacked down with full power…
