The Journey to the East The Journey to the Future The Journey to the End

Chapter 17

Ling's POV

I flew out from her grasp and whipped out my sword.

Without a second thought, I flew out of the window and out onto the streets. Or at least, the buildings along the streets. 

Navigating my way around the bustling city, back to the place where my aging parents were. 

You may wonder, what made me decide to do this?

Simple.

Everyone has to die sooner or later, and dying without feeling any pain at all is better than dying of some sufferable disease. (A/N: DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A REASON TO KILL, I REPEAT, DO NOT!!!) 

I swooped down into my house and greeted my mother, who was still unaware of what I have been doing for the past few years. My father was in the room, reading his newspaper. 

Still wondering how I should execute my parents, without being cruel, for my heart can be weak when it comes to them, I decided.

Slice their heads off, while closing my eyes. I seriously can't bear to do this, but I must, since I've already made up my mind.

Oh god I'll never forgive myself for this.

I used my first skill and jumped up onto the couch. Watching such a tall, old person do that would make people think my screw is loose. After that, I used my second skill and killed her, just like that. Oh that feels bad.

Really, really bad. 

Next, my old man. The one who has been training me all these years, just to get an unfilial son who uses these skills to kill him.

How cruel. How horrible. That's just bad.

Okay.

I flew into my father's bedroom, and used my second skill on him, just like how I killed my mother. No screams of agony were heard, so I guess I ended their lives well.

;-;

I can't bear to even touch their bodies, so all I did was close the curtains, take blankets and covered their corpses up, and flew off to find Natalia. 

Normally, I can kill random people off the streets without a care, but when it comes to my parents, I just can't.

But after awhile, my stone heart came back. I sucked up all my horrible, guilty feelings into the deepest depths of my brain, and forgetting about it, until one day, when I accidentally dig it all up and bippidy blah blah. 

I flew into the boss's room, also known as the room where Lady Towkay is. There, she was sitting on her couch again, with Fanny standing beside her like her bodyguard, or fan. 

"So, I assume you did it?" Natalia asked.

"Yes, what shall we do now?" I replied, with such a cold heart, even lava can't melt it. Only this warm little tingly spot was reserved for Lady Towkay. 

"Great! You've proven yourself worthy. Fanny, leave the room for a moment. Find your cloud or whatever his name is downstairs," Natalia shooed Fanny out of the room and down the stairs. Who was Natalia referring to, you may ask. Claude, that little thief who works here too. Not one of the assassins who specialise in killing. Just, harmless robbers who will wipe your house clean of everything and anything. Yes, Fanny and Claude are a couple. If you would know, they were together since secondary school. Too bad, I ain't as good as Fanny when it comes to romance.

"So, uh, Ling?" Natalia began. Oh, I see, she's snapped out of her Towkay mode.

"Yes?"

"You know, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Deep in my heart, I had a desire. A desire that you can guess just by looking at my face right now.

"I... uh... how should I put this delicately?" The anticipation is killing me!
