Battle Royale of the Sinners

"Fang, I’m here . "

Li Jing visited Sun Fang’s room in the middle of the night . She wore a thin nightgown as if she wanted to make herself prettiest today .

Unfortunately, she was not here to seduce her husband into the night activity . She wanted to kill him to get her skill back .

In her cloth behind her back, she hid a knife there, preparing to use it on Sun Fang .

For the sake of her absolute power and a dominant role in an army, she required the system skills .

"Come in . "

Sun Fang watched her with sympathy as he knew full well that she was not here for sex . Contrary to her previous insight and intelligence, she broke down after a setback .

"Listen, wifey . You don’t have to force yourself . You can go back for today, and I’ll pretend that you were never here tonight, okay?"

He attempted to give Li Jing a chance to redeem herself without exposing her real goal . Though their relationship was forced, he still loved her and wanted to be husband-and-wife for real .

Li Jing shook her head . Her facial expression was serious, yet her eyes were already dimmed as she abandoned everything for this task . She slowly stripped her upper clothes, revealing her bosoms and her smooth skins .

Unlike his rowdy nature and his somewhat dumb demeanor, Sun Fang did not get turn on by Li Jing’s strip tease . Instead, he felt a sharp pain in his heart .

Everyone would have felt it if a man’s secret-crush wanted to betray him .

Sun Fang did not give up . He gave yet another chance to Li Jing, "Wifey . If there’s a problem, we can talk it out . "

Li Jing paused, and her eyes flickered for a second . She bit her lower lips and stared at Sun Fang with a frown .

"Will you give me your lifespans if I tell you?" She asked in a sarcastic tone .

"I will . Only if you drop your knife and forget about your entire plan . "

A wry smile appeared on Sun Fang’s face as he decided to be frank with her after the failed attempts . This was her last chance . If Li Jing insisted on killing him, he would have to take a drastic measure against her .

Li Jing was taken aback . Her dimmed eyes regain the light, and her brain restored its function . The dumbfounded girl stood in confusion for five minutes before she groaned .

"DAHHHHH! What a blunder!" She screamed while she held her forehead with both hands .

"Have you regained your sense?"

"Yeah, somewhat . "

Li Jing drew her hidden knife from her waist and threw it away, abandoning all her sinister plans . She sat on the bed by the side of Sun Fang without bothering hiding her bare chests .

"I was narrow-minded," She confessed, "I even forgot that you can get lifespans from cultivation . "

"Yup, wifey . You need to pay more attention to others . If you keep thinking about yourself first, this is what happened to you . "

While consoling his wife, Sun Fang breathed a sigh of relief as he did not have to kill his love . It would have been a disaster had she lost her reasons earlier .

"The system said the clan tax reduces from 10:1 into 2:1 . I’ll transfer my lifespans to you so you can get your skill back . "

"I had 12 skills back then after the nerf . I want all of them back . "

"Don’t be greedy, wifey . Reread the log message from the system . It clearly said that your soul will bear some burdens if you have too many skills . Say, why did you want to kill me?"

Li Jing gave her husband a bitter smile, "It was a mission from the system . It wants me to kill one otherworlder . "

The wife-in-name explained the content of her mission to Sun Fang, who grinned at her .

"You can’t call me a muscle brain anymore, wifey . Check the deadline! It’s freaking years away! We can search for an otherworlder easily with my father’s spies, you know?"

"Yeah, that’s why I cried that it was my blunder . "

"So, can you cancel it?"

Li Jing shook her head, "No . It stays until it’s completed or failed . "

"Shame . Well, I’ve put my lifespans in the clan pool . Let’s get some of your skills back . "

...

Li Jing ended up taking 300,000 lifespans from the pool while Sun Fang donated 600,000 years . Just like what happened to Tong and the others, Li Jing could only get two skills back .

*******************************

She wanted her life-saving skill [Vampirism] back, but she still satisfied with her two skills .

"I’ll return you lifespans back later," Muttered the ashamed girl .

"Actually, you can repay me back taking my virginity . I was a virgin in my previous life, so let me get rid of my v-card ... please? My virgin yang energy is overflowing, so you might breakthrough your bottleneck?"

Li Jing cringed and peered at her pervert-husband-in-name with the corner of her eyes . Then, she laughed after she remembered that she was not omnipotent like the past anymore . She was more like a gold digger to him now .

Furthermore, he forgave all of her mistakes and helped her getting her precious skills back . In her eyes, he was cuter than the last year .

"Okay, but be warned though . I’ve never had sex with a man in my previous life . I was into women . "

...

...

Two hours later, both husband and wife lied naked on the bed, panting after the intense activity . As their first time, they were clumsy, but they got better in the second hour .

Sun Fang was smiling from ear to ear as his long dream had been realized . The flustered facial expression could be seen on Li Jing’s face as she tasted a man for the first time in two lives . Her face was as reddened as a tomato .

She was conquered .

Li Jing thought of her experience in her previous life and her former lover, a one-sided love .

’Screw you, Sunday . Screw you for rejecting me! A hundred curses to you for killing me! I have my man now . I hope you rot alone in Hell alone forever!’ Li Jing thought .

"Say wifey, can you tell me about your previous life? You said you interested in women, but how did you end up in Hell before you came here?"

Li Jing flipped her body and snuggled on his chest, "Will you hate me if I said I was a cannibal?"

Sun Fang was taken aback, but he shook his head .

"Nope! I’m officially your husband now, so why should I hate you?"

She smiled and began narrating her past .

...

...

Her previous life was a bit unique . She grew up alone without a parent in a slum in a third world country . Because of the lack of food, she ate anything that she could find on the street, including rats and rotten leftover food .

A charity organization took her in and transferred to an orphanage . There, she was raised like an average child like the others .

However, she could not get rid of the behavior of her glutton . As the poverty life experienced had taught her, she ate everything she could, including leftover in garbage bins .

One day, when she was in her teens, a fellow orphan turned rogue and murdered his friend . He chopped the body and hid pieces of the corpse in a dumpster to hide his crime .

Alas, Li Jing found the dead body but mistook it as a chunk of raw meat . She ate a part of it before she recognized that it was human’s fresh . Instead of screaming in a panic, she continued eating it as if she had a luxurious feast .

The murderer boy was arrested later, but Li Jing was left untouched by the police . She continued pursuing her education as she had planned and pretended that the man-eating incident had never happened .

Twenty years later, she succeeded in getting her license and the degree as a surgeon in a private hospital . At that place, she met her first love, a nurse .

Her name was Sunday .

Sunday was the prettiest girl in the nurse division, who always smiled and laughed like a cheerful innocent teenage girl within the stressful hospital .

Li Jing fell in love with Sunday, and she attempted to pursue her .

But .

"I’m sorry . I’m not interested in women . I’m fine with us being friends, but that kind of relationship is a bit ..."

Sunday rejected Li Jing .

Li Jing understood it, but she did not abandon her feeling toward the nurse .

A few weeks after the confession, an earthquake destroyed the hospital where both girls were working inside . The building collapsed on the residual workers and patients, killing over hundreds of people . Both Li Jing, Sunday, and the other hospital workers were lucky and unlucky . They survived but were trapped under the collapsed building .

They could not get out of the place as the building crumbled over them .

At first, they thought that the rescuers would come soon, so they waited in patience .

Two days passed, nobody had come to rescue them . The food and water they secured had run out . Everyone also feared that the oxygen in the space would run out as well .

While the survivors despaired, Li Jing resorted an unthinkable way to survive .

She started killing the nearby survivors and ate it like a zombie!

Everyone looked at her as if they saw a monster, after which they tried to stop her . As a former scavenger in a slum, Li Jing had a fundamental skill of survival and brawl experiences . She slaughtered all trapped workers inside in the collapsed space but left one person alive, Sunday .

The surviving nurse, however, gazed at her ex-pursuer in fright . She trembled in a corner when the slaughtering happened .

Li Jing handed over a slice of cut meat to Sunday, hoping to extend her limited life in this trapped space .

Sunday refused and ignored all help from Li Jing for a week . During the week, Sunday only drank dripping water from the ceiling to maintain her life, but she got weaker each day as she had not eaten anything for a week .

Li Jing’s condition also got worse as time passed . She had a sign of infection from eating raw human flesh, but she was a bit healthier than Sunday .

At the fifteenth-day, Li Jing forcefully fed Sunday a piece of human’s meat to save her life .

Without an ability to resist, Sunday reluctantly ate it .

From that day on, things changed . Sunday did not resist and accepted the preserved human’s meat from Li Jing . Their relationship got better than before .

It was the 20th day that the two girls finally heard a sound from above . The rescuers had arrived!

In joy, Sunday shouted, hoping to get noticed by the rescuers . She hoped to get herself out of this hell hole .

At the last moment, before the rescuers had found them, Li Jing took a piece of glass and attacked Sunday . She thought that Sunday would leave her again after they had been rescued .

However, she failed as Sunday also stabbed her with a knife of her own .

Before Li Jing’s world turned into darkness for the first time, she heard Sunday’s parting voice .

"A psychopath murderer like you doesn’t deserve freedom!"

After her death, her soul was transferred to Hell without an investigation as the angel in charge deemed that killing humans for food is a sin .

In Hell, there was not a day that Li Jing cursed Sunday for her betrayal . She also prayed that Sunday would also suffer a similar fate as hers .

Years later, she found herself here in this world, having a second chance .

...

"Do you like it?" Li Jing teased her husband .

"You are in the wrong, but I still love you," Spoke Sun Fang as he kissed her forehead, "Don’t eat humans in this life though . I don’t want my girl to turn into a zombie . "

"I’ve told you past . Now it’s your turn . "

"Well, nothing to brag about because I died early . I worked for a mafia boss as a bodyguard . It’s a short career, but it’s memorable though . You see, my godfather’s name is similar to our target Emperor . "

Sun Fang paused .

"His name was Ping, I believed . And during my days in my job protecting the guy, I’ve killed an idiot cop in a gunfight . "
