83 I decided to know evil, to end the evil!

Li Hua shook her head and looked at the waterfall behind him. “Does His Highness know what’s the origin of this fall?” She asked. She thought avoiding his question would be the best. However, Lóng Wei didn’t respond to her. An awkward silence prevailed between them.

Li Hua kept looking elsewhere, but not for a second dared to meet his gaze. His eyes were dangerous because it was impossible not to feel anything after looking at them.

She felt her throat getting drier and her lips too. She fidgeted her fingers and wondered what she should say. With each passing second, her nervousness also increased.

But what made Lóng Wei say such a statement? Li Hua didn’t do any obscene act which would make him feel this way. She felt the cold sweat forming on her forehead and at her nape.

Lóng Wei, oppositely, kept studying her face. The woman was unable to keep a steady expression on her face. When she bit her bottom lip and licked it, it seemed seductive to him. Had he known that his words would have made her nervous, he would not have said it.

He didn’t either want to divert his attention to anything else. He waited for her to look at him. However, when she didn’t peer in his direction, he decided to make an effort.

He held out his hand to put it over Li Hua’s. She jolted for a second and ended up looking at him. “Calm down,” he said.

“Why did His Highness say that?” She was curious to know.

His thumb traced her bottom lip before pulling it back. “Because you bit it, licked it. I felt the urge to-” he paused when Li Hua put her palm on his mouth. He lifted his hand and grasped her wrist. Bringing her hand down, he continued, “Fine, I won’t say.”

.....

“Will His Highness tell me about him?” Li Hua requested. Lóng Wei was surprised to hear her request. Did she start to show interest in him? “His Highness knows many things about me, but he hardly speaks about him. I also want to know about him,” Li Hua asserted. She had to know what made him kill his own mother and why he troubled everyone? Why was he disrespectful to everyone around him, except a few people.

“What do you want to know about me?” Lóng Wei asked her.

“Anything that His Highness would like to tell me which I am unaware of: his hobbies, his likes, and dislikes,” Li Hua briefed him.

“My chief hobby is to gather information about everyone around me. That includes mostly the evilest acts of them. Then, I accordingly, use them for my benefits,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

Li Hua gulped to hear about his hobby. She thought he would reply that he loved to play games or horse-riding or training. But to her surprise, Lóng Wei’s hobby was strange, but in a good way.

“How does His Highness find out about others’ evil acts?”

Lóng Wei found how inquisitive she was to know it, so he promptly replied, “I spy on them.”

Li Hua glanced at him in perplexity. “Spy? Isn’t that a difficult task?” She asked.

“Of course, it is! You must show your enemy that you are weak. When the right time comes, you must attack them with their weakness. It is what I do. I have clutched Gao Bing in my claws. He is the Senior Eunuch, who holds a good power. Ju Lin’s life was in danger, so I asked Gao Bing to keep her in a safe place which he did,” Lóng Wei explained to her with an example.

Li Hua was dumbfounded to hear him. Her eyes grew big. She found the facade that Lóng Wei carried around.

“However, I was never interested in getting power. I only like to trouble, blackmail the people around me,” Lóng Wei stated and smiled.

“Is His Highness interested in power now?” She looked at him inquisitively.

“Yes. To find the answers for you, I must take it. You are my most precious treasure, who suffered through hell. When Yuze, for the first time, told me that I have the blessings from heaven as the Dragon’s Son, I promptly acknowledged his prophecy. But he kept telling me to focus on becoming a true leader. A Dragon rules over every species, that is what Yuze wanted for me. But I was not interested in it.”

Li Hua found out because of her, Lóng Wei decided to climb up and rise to gather power. But it was weird too.

Lóng Wei found the reason in Li Hua to assemble power for himself. The woman, who asked him for the first time if he was good, made him dedicate his life to her. He found the purpose of his life because he saw her goodness. If good people like her existed in the world, then he was ready to protect them.

“Also, he wanted me to do good deeds to eradicate evil. But if good can vanish from evil, then everyone would be happy and satisfied. Then, I decided to know evil, to end the evil,” Lóng Wei affirmed. Li Hua was slightly confused and intimidated by his last statement.

“Is it true that His Highness killed his mother?” Li Hua didn’t hesitate to ask him and kept peering at him.

“Why are we bringing her in the middle of this conversation?” Lóng Wei’s tone was not pleasant at all. It seemed her question infuriated him.

“Forgive me, Your Highness. I became a little curious to know. His Highness doesn’t seem evil to kill-”

“I killed her,” Lóng Wei confessed before Li Hua could complete her words. For some reason, her heartbeat raised, and she saw his eyes looked strange.

“Killing your parents is the biggest sin, and I did that,” he admitted.

“Why?” Li Hua frowned, and a frightening expression appeared on her face.

“Are you scared of me?” He asked.

Li Hua didn’t answer him for a while.

She clutched her dress tightly. She had not expected him to give such an answer. She thought he might be lying, but he was not. Those eyes, those facial expressions, were enough to tell that.

“I don’t know,” she finally answered and lowered her head.

“Did my father tell you to find the reason for her death?” Lóng Wei asked, which stupefied Li Hua. How come he found out? She thought of lying to him.

“No,” she refused.

“Learn how to lie. Since my love for you is immense, I forgive you,” Lóng Wei pronounced and stood up. He forwarded his hand and asked Li Hua to hold it.

She placed her hand on his palm, and he pulled her up. She promptly pulled her hand away and stepped forward to walk ahead of him when her foot slipped off the rock, and she fell into the pool of water.

“Li Hua!” Lóng Wei shouted her name, and without wasting any second, he also jumped off the gigantic rock.

The water flow was immense because of tue closeness of the waterfall, so it became difficult for Li Hua to come up, and she found herself drowning in the water. Her bodily movement got restricted, and her eyes started to close.
