Beauty is a Beast

61 Trouble is Brewing 3

Others leap up in the air to climb up, however, even if they can, the gate seemed to be growing taller as the people tried to jump up higher.

"Li Wei! Come out!" They shouted.

A slim and tall girl exited the house. Her white clothes look ethereal but her devil mask and red eyes look terrifyingly devilish. She stood straight with her hands behind her back.

"Stop wearing a mask! We already saw what you look like. Li Wei, you killed my daughter and you killed 10 officials so you have to pay the same price!" Nalan Hechan said righteously. His face was red in anger.

"Surrender now, your just a weak 7th-star cultivator. You are not our opponent." Nalan Jei, Nalan Han's grandfather said. Although he doesn't really like his granddaughter personality, he still dotes on her to the fullest. When he heard that she died in the hands of White Rose, in the hands of Nalan Han's 'rival' he was angered.

"Oh? Didn't you know that every weak person can change into the strongest monster?" Her voice was filled with menace as she gently removes her devil mask. Her face is the same, the difference is her white hair and red eyes that give her beauty an edge, like a demoness.

She must have killed dozens, perhaps hundreds of people and injured at least that many more before she came here in the lower land. Who is this Li Wei? Her aura change so quickly. Nalan Jei thought to himself.

Li Wei's smile looked demonic paired with those red eyes.

"Our young miss has been through more hell than they will ever know. But that's what gives our young miss beauty an edge. They can't touch a woman who can wear pain like the grandest smile she put in her face. Even if it looks demonic, our young miss smile is the best!" Meimei mumbled. She remembered in the past when she asked Li Wei a question. She will never forget it.

| "Why does this happen to us?" asked the 12-years-old Meimei |

| "Because life is cruel to us." answered the battered 10-years-old Li Wei in a cage |

Meimei realizes that day that the world is cruel. People will only hurt you.

"You want to know why I wear this kind of mask with devil horns? It's not about wanting to disguise who am I...but to actually show who I really am. Monster? Beast? That's me. You are correct." Her voice traveled in the ears and in the heart of the people making them shiver.

Treating herself like a monster and beast, did she already abandon her humanity?

Humanity? Did others treat her like a human? They were calling her a beast, a monster and other terrifying names that cannot be called human.

She let go of her mask and crushed it using her foot. The crashing sound made the weaker people's hair stood on its end.

"You are not a human nor a beast or a monster! You are a demon!" Someone blurted out. The fight hasn't started yet and he felt like he was losing his soul in this talking.

"Demons? But I'm crazier than them." The barrier and the illusion breaks. The roses in the front yard flew and their white petals cascading in the air.

It felt magical but the girl in the center

is like a person coming out in their nightmare.

"This time, she was serious." Feng An mumbled.

"We all have two sides. The one we let people see, and the one we don't." Li Wei walked slowly and every step she took sent shivers down in Mu Yang and Chu Lin's spine. They felt Li Wei's aura change easily that it wasn't normal for them at all.

Is she the one really in trouble? Or are the people outside the one in trouble?

"You can enter. But once you go in, you won't be able to get out." She said while slowly opening the gate.

Then Li Wei started singing. "Roses are red, the sky is blue but if you want to kill me, would you mind if I kill you too?" Her voice is playful. There's no panic and fear written in her face. That devilish smile is still hanging on her lips.

Is she not afraid that there's too many of them?

Afraid? Li Wei is a little afraid but isn't that great? Her courage will show more. Courage isn't about being reckless and not being afraid. Its when she's afraid but she face it anyway. The Queen also taught her that.
