The Radiance from Within

Chapter 6

Nini stood both shock and disgust as she looked at Zhenshui Wuxiang. What had happened to the so-called honorable archer? "I can't believe that you did that, Zhenshui Wuxiang. Shooting someone in the back; talk about despicable. And don't pretend that it was an accident. I saw the look you gave Yixiao Naihe before you shot him. Weiwei was too nice when she called you a spineless coward. You are nothing but a dishonorable piece of crap that does not deserve to be in the presence of someone like Weiwei or her husband. I can't believe I once called you my friend. You are nothing but a spoiled rich boy that thinks that just because their daddy is rich you can take whatever you want. No wonder Weiwei refused to send you a photo of her when you asked."

"How dare you speak like that to my husband you homely little nobody!" Yaoyao stretched and tried to slap Nini but Nini caught Yaoyao's hand.

"Oh can it, gold digger." Nini threw Yaoyao's hand down. "Girls like you are like leeches.. You pretend to be helpless and coy but the moment someone's back is turnt you talk snidely behind their back. Trying to make yourself more important than what you really are. I mean is there anything that is actually real about you? Not your looks since you have to use photo editing and an exorbitant amount of makeup. That's for sure. From what I can see you can't even stand on your own two feet without a rich man taking care of you?" Nini sneered.

"Neither of you would ever be as good as Weiwei and her husband? Do you want to know why? From what I know of Weiwei and what I have learned about Yixiao Naihe, neither care for looks or money. What they find important is intelligence, loyalty, skill, and integrity. Things that neither of you know anything about. You two snakes deserve each other." and with that Nini left them to their thoughts.

"How dare that creten." Yaoyao yelled "Who is she to dare talk like that to us! Ugly little toad."

"She's right." Zhenshui Wuxiang said distractedly.

"What did you just say?" Yaoyao demanded.

"I said that Leishen Nini is right." Zhenshui Wuxiang replied angrily. Since we started dating I've done things that I would have never done. I would have never slandered a guildmate and I would have never shot a party member on purpose when they weren't looking." .

"Oh so you are blaming this on me now?" Yaoyao retorted. "Anyone would be happy to have the honor of dating the prettiest girl on the server. You should feel lucky that I even spoke to you. If not for your connections you'd be nothing." If Yaoyao was in her right mind she would never have spoken to a mark like this before but she's had it with this game along with the lustful looks that Zhenshui Wuxiang has been giving Luwei Weiwei and the sneers that some of the guild members. She was past the point of thinking logically. This should not have to be dealing with this.

"..If not for my connections?" Zhenshui Wuxiang was shocked. He was just barely coming to terms with the idea for himself that she was only with him for his place in the outside world but for her to actually tell him she was with him for his connections was totally a different matter. Was that all he was good for, his money? His father's name? Was Luwei Weiwei able to see him so clearly all those months ago and it was the reason why she went offline when he asked for her picture? Also she didn't ask questions or take compensation when he asked for a divorce. She just said that she only agreed that a marriage with him was for the guild wars. Did he really mean nothing to Luwei Weiwei when they were married? How did he not see it before? "Then why did you agree to date me, Yu Yao?" he needed to hear it with his own ears.

Yaoyao started to open her mouth and tell him exactly why she was dating him but her brain finally caught up at what she had been telling him and started to cry. Saying that she didn't mean what she had just been saying and that this whole predicament was just too stressful for her. She then went on about how everyone has been blaming her and how she's innocent of everything the guild had been accusing her of. She was silently cursing Luwei Weiwei again for showing her up. It was always Luwei Weiwei this and Weiwei that. Oh how she hated that name.

"Save it Yu Yao, we are done. I can't believe I condone the things that you and your friends have been doing or saying. I'm going to the Stone of Three Lives. You can meet me there or not. I'm ending this farce of a marriage." Zhenshui Wuxiang ignored her pleas for a second chance and left Yaoyao on the floor of the quest floor.

Yue Lao smiled down at the retreeting Zhenshui Wuxiang. He was starting to lose hope that the boy would wise up. He should have guessed that the little firecracker Nini would have gone off again at the boy's blind stupidity. He would need to take care of selecting a match for Leishen Nini. She has a good heart, is loyal, and has a sharp tongue. She will keep whomever she marries on their toes."

He chuckled. He smiled as he conjured the server message. "Zhenshui Wuxiang and Xiaoyu Yaoyao have fallen out of love and are now strangers to one another." Now that is a knot he will enjoy severing. He should not have tied it in the first place. Yue Lao gave a deep happy chuckle as he saw the next set of announcements of each member of the Xiaoyu family quitting the Jade Seas Rising Tide Guild. "Well it looks like the Jade Seas Rising Tide Guild has decided to rid themselves of the rubbish, let's see how things turn out in the future. Luwei Weiwei and Yixiao Naihe are on the right track to breaking the curse I put on them. It's just a matter of time until those two complete the quest. It will be hard, no doubt but I have faith in those two's love. I will take great joy in two years time when I will be able to tie their red cord together permanently."
