illicit relationship

'Rose?'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on Xiao Tian's face. He found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

??

'How could this be?'

Xiao Tian tried to deny it, but the fact that the assassin was Flower didn't change.

'How? Why? Why it has to be you?'

Xiao Tian suddenly had a complicated feeling.

Even though the truth had been revealed before his eyes, Xiao Tian still could not accept it. Flower was someone who helped him many times when they lived in the forest.

If Flower were the assassin who had tried to kill him twice, then that would mean he lived with his enemy for a few days.

'Rose, are you really that assassin? Are you really the one who tried to kill me twice?'

Xiao Tian never thought that the assassin was Flower because she had many chances to kill him, but she didn't do that.

She even helped him and brought him to the cave when he was unconscious. This made Xiao Tian's mind suddenly in a mess.

He really didn't know what to do. If he didn't help Flower, he was sure she would die later, but when he was about to help her, there was a part of him that stopped him, saying that she was his enemy.

At this moment, several memories suddenly appeared in his mind; memories when he was living in the forest with Flower.

"Here, eat it." Flower gave the fruit to Xiao Tian. "These fruits can fill your empty stomach."

"Let me help you." Flower helped Xiao Tian up and walk to the waterfall.

"Just wait there. I will help you clean your wounds later." Flower said from behind the stone.

"Here, eat it." Flower gave the grilled fish to Xiao Tian.

"I still can't find a way back to the city." Flower uttered, "I will try again tomorrow."

"Hehehe." Flower giggled when she saw Xiao Tian almost threw up after eating the fruit she gave him.

Xiao Tian started to waver again when one by one, memories of the two of them appeared in his mind.

The beautiful memories he had with Flower in the forest made his feelings complicated again.

Sure, Flower was his enemy, but she had helped him many times before, and there was a high possibility that he would have died if she had not helped him.

When Xiao Tian was thinking about whether he should help Flower or not, Flower almost fainted.

Gu Ming was currently choking Flower's neck hard and asking her many questions. But like before, Flower remained silent as if she didn't hear anything.

This made Gu Ming furious. He felt as if Flower didn't put him in her eyes. He had given her a chance not to get tortured, but she didn't feel grateful.

*Sringggg….

Xiao Tian unsheathed his sword when Flower was about to die.

He had so many beautiful memories with Flower, so Xiao Tian decided to help her. Sure, he still had complicated feelings, but Flower would have died if he didn't help her.

Xiao Tian decided to have a long chat with her later. He wanted to give her a chance to explain everything before deciding what he was going to do to her later.

"Eh?! Dead?!" Gu Ming was shocked when he saw Flower's eyes slowly closing on their own. "Ah. She just passed out."

Because Gu Ming was a powerful martial artist, Xiao Tian decided to give a surprise attack. Sure, Gu Ming was injured, but he could not underestimate Gu Ming.

*Shui…

Xiao Tian dashed towards Gu Ming and pointed his sword forward, aiming to stab Gu Ming's heart from behind.

However, Gu Ming was an extraordinary martial artist at the high-level master stage, and he also had a good instinct, so Xiao Tian failed to kill Gu Ming instantly.

Even though Gu Ming managed to protect the fatal area of his body, but he paid a heavy price for it.

'Fuck!'

Gu Ming cursed venomously as he looked at his bleeding left hand.

Previously, he blocked Xiao Tian's attack with her left hand. He had no choice but to sacrifice his left hand, or else Xiao Tian's sword would pierce his heart.

"Who are you?" Gu Ming asked furiously.

However, Xiao Tian ignored Gu Ming's question and kept attacking Gu Ming.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- second ceremony- Earth Breaker.'

Because Xiao Tian didn't want to waste time, he instantly used his secret technique.

Gu Ming was startled by Xiao Tian's attacks.

'What is this? A secret technique? It's dangerous. I have to dodge it!'

Even though he wanted to doge Xiao Tian's attacks, but he failed to do so.

Xiao Tian's attacks were fast and deadly. Coupled with him being injured from fighting with Flower, made Gu Ming unable to dodge all of Xiao Tian's attacks.

Head, arms, legs, neck, stomach. Every part of his body was injured by Xiao Tian's attacks, causing blood to come out of his wounds.

[A/N= If you ask why Xiao Tian can beat Gu Ming and Flower can't do that when they are equal when they fight. The answer was because Xiao Tian had never used a sword against her or used any of his secret moves.]

Gu Ming, who was heavily injured, knew that he would not be able to beat Xiao Tian.

'I have to back off now. I will take my revenge later.'

Gu Ming was sure that he could beat Xiao Tian if he were not injured from fighting Flower earlier.

That was why he wanted to back off because he would die if he stayed there. As long as he was alive, he could take revenge later.

"You want to run away, huh? Do you think you can do that?" Xiao Tian uttered,

*Shui….

Xiao Tian dashed towards Gu Ming and pierced Gu Ming's heart from his back.

*Aukkk….

Blood splashed out of Gu Ming's mouth.

'How could this be?'

Gu Ming fell to the ground, dead.

After sheathing his sword, Xiao Tian carried Flower to his car. Without waiting for another second, he traveled to his apartment.

*Click…

Xiao Tian opened the door.

He then headed to his room and put Flower on the bed. After treating her injuries, Xiao Tian sat on the chair next to the bed.

'Rose.'

Xiao Tian had complicated feelings again, but he could only sigh. He would wait until Flower regained consciousness before having a long talk with her.

Seconds turned into minutes, and without realizing it, it had been an hour since Xiao Tian brought Flower to his apartment.

"Agh.. My head hurts!" Flower finally regained consciousness.

'Xiao Tian?'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on Flower's face when she saw Xiao Tian sleeping in a sitting position with his head on the bed.

She remembered that she was fighting Gu Ming earlier, and she lost the fight.

'Where is this place? Did Xiao Tian help me earlier? What happened to Gu Ming? Did he beat Gu Ming?'

Countless questions appeared in Flower's mind.

At that moment, she suddenly noticed something important. She was not wearing a veil!

'My veil!'

She then turned her head to the left and right, but she didn't find her veil. Flower then shifted her gaze to Xiao Tian.

'So this means, he already knows who I am.'

As Flower was having a complicated feeling, Xiao Tian suddenly woke up.

"Rose, you have regained consciousness?" Xiao Tian uttered,
