Sweet Wife in My Arms

Someone was shouting.

Then there were the sounds of arrows falling in unison.

Swoosh! Those arrows tore through the sky and shot toward Xiao Bai.

Despite that, Xiao Bao continued to eat her steamed roll. She broke off a piece of it and placed it in her mouth. She remained still even when the arrows moved toward her.

However, all of the arrows stopped unexpectedly within one meter of where she was.

She had shed all of the human blood she had in her body. She was now a fox, a white fox.

She lowered her head and finished the last piece of her steamed roll. The wound above her eye started to crack bit by bit. Those pieces of damaged skin started to recover on their own, skin and flesh knitting together and smoothing over the blood vessels. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were actually red, a crimson, bloody red.

The arrows in front of her started to shake violently. Eventually they started to bend and twist into lumps of useless iron .

"Monster!"

There was someone yelling, his pathetic cries echoing in her ears.

Xiao Bai turned, her red eyes reflecting this frightened crowd and the monster they mentioned.

Well, she was a demon anyway.

She stood up and walked toward the general. Crouching down, it was at this moment that she realized Brother Zi Yue had shed all his blood too. His back was plunged full of arrows, and his clothing was in tatters.

He was no longer breathing, but his determined lips were still curled up, that warm smile of his now frozen permanently in time.

"Brother Zi Yue," she whispered as she cupped the general's face with her hand. Then, she bent down and leaned her face gently on the general's cold lips.

"You won't die, Brother Zi Yue."

She placed her hand on her chest and inserted her fingers into her body, extracting her heart from her chest.

Those nearby soldiers screamed in shock, some of them starting to vomit uncontrollably. They wanted to run, but they could not move. They wanted to faint, but their minds remained awake for some reason. They could only stare widely at that red-eyed monster digging out her own heart.

The blood red heart, the heart that was still beating.

She placed the heart in her hand in front of the general, then she just watched as the heart slowly sunk into the general's chest. It replaced his cold heart that had stopped beating and started to pump again.

Each heartbeat gave him vitality, blood and life.

Xiao Bai suddenly widened her eyes while her bright red pupils shrunk. Her eyes reflected the scene of a grand wedding in the residence.

The corner of her lips lifted suddenly. Her smile was as cold as death.

Her silhouette was disappearing bit by bit, but the general on the ground started to breathe. He was breathing, and the wounds on his body were slowly recovering.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, yet those dark eyes seemed to carry a heavy wisdom. He reached out his hand and placed it in front of his chest, feeling the beating of this very heart.

Today, the whole mansion was adorned with lights and lanterns. It was the grand wedding day of the Prince and Lady Ru Yin. The red dowry procession was moving ahead in a joyous atmosphere outside. The wedding troop was so big that it almost occupied an entire street.

"Didn't someone say that Lady Ru Yin is blind?" someone asked curiously. "Why would the Prince marry someone like that?"

"Who told you that she's blind?" An old lady stared at the person who was speaking.

"Lady Ru Yin is like a real buddha, she is always there when someone needs help. She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Her eyes are brighter than any jewels in the world."

"I've seen it too, her eyes were gorgeous. They were as bright as stars."

"Precisely. I've never seen a prettier pair of eyes," someone seemed to make a remark, but then he saw a cloud of red mist flashing by. He saw a pair of blood red eyes shining through the mist, and he was dumbfounded.

This night, in the bridal chamber, the Prince finally lifted the red veil on Ru Yin's head. Under the light of the red candle was Ru Yin's eyes, as gentle as water.

"I've finally married you."

The Prince gently put his hand on Ru Yin's face, "I've done so much and I've finally healed your eyes."

Ru Yin's eyes sparkled. She leaned her head on the Prince's shoulder.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Mo."

The Prince stroked her hair gently. He could barely contain his excitement. Today was their wedding night, finally they would truly belong to each other. They would never be separated ever again.

As they indulged in their overwhelming affection, they could barely contain their desires. At this moment, the Prince remembered that they had yet to drink ceremonially from their wedding cups.

He poured himself a drink, and then another for Ru Yin.

Ru Yin was about to take the cup. Suddenly, she let out a scream.

"AHH!"

"What is it?" The Prince was shocked. "What happened?"

Ru Yin pointed her finger. Qinmo turned around slowly and saw a girl in red, with a pair of bloodthirsty red eyes.

White as snow, red as blood.

"Do you see me?" The girl in red smiled suddenly, her red eyes staring into Ru Yin's eyes.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Ru Yin covered her eyes and yelled again.

"My eyes, my eyes…"

Her eyes were so painful, she felt like they were on fire.

"Your eyes?"

She could hear a faint voice, it was extremely icy and cold.

"Ru Yin, tell me. Are those your eyes? How can things that you've snatched from others become yours? Don't you have any shame?"

The Prince only reacted then. He drew his sword and stabbed toward the girl in red. However as he slashed his sword as her, his whole body was repelled and he collapsed heavily onto the floor.

He felt a copper tang in his throat. Sputter! A mouthful of blood burst out of his mouth. It blended in with the red costume he was wearing.

"Now I really think that both of you should get married."

Xiao Bai walked to the edge of the table. She took a pot and a cup from the table. She poured some wine into the cup and the room was immediately filled with the aroma of the wine.

She held up the wine cup. There was nothing in her red eyes on her tiny face. It looked empty, yet it seemed much was hidden. It looked complicated, yet it seemed possible to see through in a glance.

She walked over and stood in front of the Prince. She lifted her wine cup and took a sip, and then she downed the entire cup.
