The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Chapter 205 Occupation?
Looking at Zhang Yunyan and the jade, Shikong felt uneasy. He was worried that his friend was controlled by the hex and had become a tool to kill people.

He didn’t know whether such a terrible thing would happen, and no one could know. If Zhang Yunyan was controlled by the evil stone, the consequences would be disastrous.

At that time, even if Yunyan had her own consciousness, she could not make her own decisions. She could only be driven by the evil stone and become a weapon to attack others. Even if the people she faced were not her enemies, even if they were relatives and friends, she would inevitably execute the instructions of the evil stone and attack.

Since then, she would have no relatives and friends. No one would sympathize with her. There would only be irreconcilable enemies and endless hatred.

Shikong couldn’t accept the consequences of his benefactor becoming an enemy, and he would not let the friendship between life and death be turned into endless hatred. However, he could not control and stop it, and he could only accept the terrible changes.

Thinking of the horrible consequences, he could not help but feel cold in his body and mind, not knowing whether the horrible thing would happen. He couldn’t guess but only pray silently. He hoped that Yun Feiyan could stop the control of the hex and have a clear mind to control herself.

This was only a guess, which was also the only thing Shikong could do. For this reason, he was uneasy and anxious.

He secretly sighed. No matter whether it would be true or not and what would happen, as long as his benefactor could wake up, it meant that she was still alive and would not die for the time being.

Looking at Zhang Yunyan, Shikong hoped that his benefactor could wake up as soon as possible, thus they could be able to fight for survival together against the devils.

He knew it well that this good wish was likely to come into nothing. This evil stone had left part of itself in Yun Feiyan, which was the countless “colorful stars”. “The root cause of the disease” had been planted in the body of his benefactor. She could not expel or control it but only act as a killing tool of the evil stone.

In the Cave of Fate, it was deathly silent with even more terrifying atmosphere, which was suffocating and frightening.

Shikong stopped crying in sadness. He waited anxiously, hoping that Yun Feiyan could wake up soon.

He couldn’t imagine the situation after his benefactor woke up. Maybe it would be terrible. Although he was very worried, he still hoped that Yun Feiyan could wake up as soon as possible, which at least could prove that his benefactor was still alive, and it would be better than being unconscious and dying

It was silent in the Cave of Fate. The gloomy and horrible atmosphere had imprisoned two fragile lives.

Outside the cave, without the evil wind, the crisis was more covert. It could happen at any time.

Turtle Elf was nearly paralyzed with pain. It was sad for the unfortunate death of Yun Feiyan and anxious for the safety of Shikong.

It hated being incompetent. It was unable to help its friend who had lost her life. It was unable to help the lonely Shikong, and let him grieve and hurt alone, and eventually lose his life.

In the Cave of Fate, Zhang Yunyan was still unconscious. Her expression was getting calmer, her breath and pulse had become normal, and there are no signs of mortal danger.

Shikong was anxious. Although his benefactor was no longer painful, she had been in coma, which was not a good sign. Besides, those “colorful stars” were entangled in her body. He didn’t know when they would attack or how they would hurt her.

There was also a terrible thing, which made him nervous and fearful. Although the jade seemed to be pale with no vitality, it was superficial and there were still vicious elves inside.

The evil stone stayed in the hand of Zhang Yunyan, and this was the cause of everything. If she couldn’t get rid of its control, there would be no way to drive away the “colorful stars” that had housed in her body. His benefactor would never be able to live a peaceful life.

Shikong was worried about Zhang Yunyan’s safety, and heartbroken for the terrible disasters she had suffered from. In order to protect the life of his benefactor, and in order to let his benefactor get rid of the hex, he had been pondering and thinking without giving up.

Cutting off the wrist to protect life was no longer possible. Was there any way else to save his benefactor?

He had a hard time thinking but came up with nothing. He shed tears silently. In pain, he was desperate, because he was unable to help Zhang Yunyan. He could only listen to the fate and hope to have a good result.

Shikong thought of his own experiences of suffering. He missed his family in grief and sobbed in a low voice.

His mother had already died, and his father was killed by the bully. The younger brothers and sisters had been killed and his fiancée had also passed away… Whenever he thought of his dead families, he felt heartbroken.

Now, there was only one of his relatives left in the world, Master Liaochen. Shikong had been integrated into the warm affection given by this elder and was also very respectful to him.

Remembering the experience of meeting with his teacher, Shikong felt very sad and warm.

At that time, he suffered terrible disasters in a row, which was very tragic. His families passed away one after another, and his body and mind were greatly shattered. He was completely destroyed.

He deeply felt that the world was insidious. He was lonely, indifferent and desperate, and never had the courage to live on. He made up his mind to leave the cold and ruthless world and go to the other world to accompany his deceased relatives.

At the time when Shikong committed suicide and was about to die, Master Liaochen met him and saved him, thus he survived.

From then on, he converted to Buddhism and had a Buddhist name as Shikong. With the instruction and teaching from his teacher, he learned good kung fu and felt the warmth of family affection.

He was very grateful to his teacher. He decided that he would accompany him in this life, study and practice hard, serve his teacher and fulfill filial duty to repay his favor.

Shikong hated this world. He was alone in this world. His cold heart seemed to be dead. He knew well of the ruthless world, thus there was nothing that he couldn’t bear to part with. He wanted to end his life facing the green light.

He had the greatest wish, which was to kill the murderer who had killed his father, so he would find this enemy whenever he had the opportunity.

Besides this, he had nothing to ask for. He had no yearning or pursuit, and had lost hope with his own future and his life. The only thing he wanted to do was to stay in the mountains with his teacher and get away from the bustling world, and to live this life silently.

Thinking of his fiancée who had passed away, Shikong felt heartbroken. He could not help but look at the unconscious Zhang Yunyan, thinking that if his beloved fiancée was still alive, her age would be similar to that of his benefactor. It was a pity that “if” would not become reality. It could only be a useless illusion. His beloved fiancée had already died, and in this life, they had no chance to get together.

In pain, he sighed and shed tears secretly. He was sad for his dead fiancée, and heartbroken for the dead relatives.

It was silent in the Cave of Fate. The silence was gloomy and terrible. It made him cold and desperate.

The jade was dim, and the hex was abstruse and terrifying. It was secretly hidden and was the cause of the horror. Its cattiness and malevolence was causing fear and anxiety.

Suddenly, there was a slight groaning in the Cave of Fate, which was particularly clear in the dark silence.

Shikong was awakened from sorrow. He turned to look at Zhang Yunyan, whose hand moved a bit. He felt something and hurriedly got up to see her. Although he couldn’t see the face and look of his benefactor clearly, he could see that she had consciousness and was awake.

Looking at Yun Feiyan who was about to wake up, his worried heart jumped up nervously, fearing that his benefactor would be controlled by the hex and become a tool driven by the evil stone.

If so, it would be terrible. If the friend who had come through thick and thin with him became an enemy, how should he face her?

Also, he was worried that after Yun Feiyan woke up, the “colorful stars” entrenched in her body would became active, and his benefactor would suffer again.

Shikong had no ability to help his benefactor. He was anxious and could only pray and wait.

Zhang Yunyan stretched out her arms and sat up. She saw a person next to her. She knew it was Shikong, so she sighed.

She looked around at the dim cave and sighed, “Master Shikong, are you alright? Oh, you and I have finally escaped and survived.”

Shikong was very happy and surprised. Listening to her words, he knew that Yun Feiyan could still recognize him, and her mental state and consciousness were the same as before. It seemed that she was not controlled by magic. He took a sigh of relief and his hanging heart was finally relieved.

He was still uneasy. Perhaps this was temporary and superficial. Once the evil stone worked, his benefactor would be driven by the hex and do things against her will.

Shikong was also deeply worried about another thing that whether Yun Feiyan would be tortured again by those “colorful stars”. If so, his benefactor would really suffer and die.

He asked with concern, “Miss, how do you feel? Is the jade still torturing you?”

Zhang Yunyan shook her head and looked at the jade in her hand. She was nervous and afraid. She was eager to throw it away, but she could do nothing.

She was very helpless, and her clenched right hand had long been out of control. It didn’t seem to be owned by herself but to be controlled by the evil stone. Her body seemed to be complete, but she had lost part of it, and she could not help but be sad.

Yunyan had no ability to regain the control of her right hand and could only listen to it. Fortunately, the evil stone did not demonstrate terrible magic for the time being, and did not torture her.

Zhang Yunyan looked at the evil stone. She didn’t know if she was more helpless or more afraid. She was somewhat desperate.

This jade had become an inseparable part of her body. Not only was it not dominated by her, but it had become the master of herself. It was terrible and pathetic.

In the future, not to mention the inconvenience of daily living, it was the powerful magic of the evil stone that would make her fearful and uneasy.

The evil stone would use its magic to end her life at any time, and perhaps others would be involved and get hurt. Thinking about it made her afraid. What was even more terrifying would be the mental torture. If she was really controlled and driven by the jade to hurt and kill people, she would rather die than bear it.

At that time, even if she wanted to commit suicide, she was afraid that she would be stopped by the hex. It would be impossible for her to seek for death.

Zhang Yunyan no longer hoped to get rid of the jade, nor could she drive away those “colorful stars” in her body. She could only hope that the evil stone would not demonstrate its power and let her live peacefully in the future.

She hoped that she could control herself and continue to take revenge without hurting the lives of innocent people in danger.

Yunyan wanted to know the temperament of the jade so as to avoid the things that would trigger the anger of it. Thus she would not be attacked and would not hurt others for no reason.

It would be easy to think about this kind of things, but it was too difficult to do it. The jade was insidious and ruthless. She had no way to find out the preferences of the evil stone, then how to control it?

This jade seemed to have no life, but it was an elf with hidden magic. To do this, it would take a long time to experience and observe, and perhaps she would have to cultivate affection with it.

It would be too difficult. If things went on like this, it would be impossible if she wanted to live in peace with the evil stone. Otherwise, it would not be a harmful monster, and there would no need to occupy Zhang Yunyan’s body and so madly attack the captured prey.

Yunyan would not have a good result. It was likely that before she found out the temperament of the jade, she would already be tortured to death by the hex.
