"What's wrong, kid? You're the one who challenges me, and this is all you got? I might as well prepare my wedding with Bai Shijue after this," General Fei taunted.
Han Shun gritted his teeth. He had to admit that he was utterly outmatched by General Fei. He knew that his chance to win was very slim, knowing how experienced and strong General Fei was.
But this was about pride. He wanted to show Bai Gege that he was not the same kid that would need all the protection from Bai Gege. He might be young, only 13 years old, but he had the strength and skill of an adult!
Han Shun glanced at Bai Shijue, who looked at him with worry. He clenched his fist, refusing to lose at this point. He'd rather die than not be around Bai Gege for the rest of his life.
Han Shun spat out the blood on his mouth and replied to the taunt, "General Fei, you're not even hurting me. I can feel your punch tickling my stomach."
General Fei, who was smiling the whole time, got triggered. He prepared his stance again, "If this is what you want, kid. Don't blame me if you will wake up with Meng Po on the bridge."
General Fei knew that Han Shun was just taunting him back. He could see the young man's feet were trembling, and he was trying to control his expression because the pain must've been extraordinary for him.
This time, General Fei dashed to Han Shun without hesitation. Han Shun tried to dodge to the left, but he was slow because of the pain, so he ended up taking another punch on the left chest.
"ACK!"
Han Shun gnashed his teeth, trying to curb the pain. He launched an attack by aiming his kick on General Fei's stomach. But the General intercepted it with his palm. He grabbed Han Shun's ankle again and smacked him to the ground.
"ARGHH!"
Han Shun felt his bones had been broken upon impact. He couldn't even feel anything for the whole minute. He could only look up and saw General Fei was looking down at him with a smirk on his face, "Take your time, kid. I will end the duel after you accepted your defeat or fainted… or maybe death. I don't really care since you're the one who challenged me in the first place."
…
…
Han Shun tried to get up and continue fighting, but his body refused to move, and his eyes started to droop down, and he closed his eyes.
'Is this it?'
'After I stubbornly refused to back down for Bai Gege, I will end up defeated and will be forbidden to even see Bai Gege from afar?'
Han Shun thought as his mind floated in a sea of emptiness. He was sad that he had to be the one who got kicked out of Bai Gege because of his own stupidity. He really thought he could beat General Fei with such a high skill difference.
'Han Shun… you're a disappointment. You're an utter disappointment, you know that, right?' Han Shun cursed at himself for being such a weak idiot.
'Now Bai Gege will be married to General Fei….'
…
'Should I die? I think I should die now. There is no point of living if I can't even talk with Bai Gege anymore.'
'He is the one who gives me life. Without him, I will probably die before I even reach 10 years old.'
'Now, you will also be the one who caused Bai Gege to marry someone he didn't love.'
….
'Bai Gege, I'm… sorry… for everything….'
Han Shun had given up everything after he realized that he had no control over his body now. He might as well die like this rather than opening his eyes and saw Bai Gege sitting on a red sedan with General Fei as a pair of a newly married couple.
….
....
'Is that it?'
'Huh?' Han Shun slowly opened his eyes again. He was still in the sea of nothingness, and he floated around without control at all. His eyes looked around to find the source of the voice.
'You're so weak, boasting to Bai Shijue that you will be able to defeat that General, even putting him at risk of marrying a random man he doesn't love.'
'Egoistic, and weak.'
'Who are you?!' Han Shun looked around warily. The voice echoed around this sea of emptiness, so Han Shun couldn't determine the person's location who called him weak.
Slowly, dark butterflies gathered around in front of Han Shun, and a man came out from the hundreds of dark butterflies, just like how Bai Gege usually manifested, but Bai Gege's butterflies were gentle white. This one was dark and had suffocating energy.
The man was handsome, heaven kind of handsome, in fact. But it wasn't surprising for Han Shun because what he saw was basically the reflection of himself in the adult version. At least, if he was actually a god-like Bai Gege.
The man wore a golden-black robe and looked at Han Shun with a smirk on his face, "Weak kid."
"Shut up!" Han Shun snarled back. He knew that he was weak and rash, but there was no need to keep reminding him of how useless he was.
"So this is it? You challenged the Iron General for a duel but got defeated in 10 minutes. You are also sending Bai Shijue to his unhappy married life. Because he never like General Fei," the man in black-golden robe said.
…
Han Shun said nothing, but he glared at the man in front of him.
"Your body is dying in the real world. General Fei has successfully broken all of your bones, you weak kid. But I can recover your body to its original state."
…
Han Shun kept glaring at the man, waiting for what he wanted to offer.
"In fact, not only healing you back, but I can also make you stronger, a lot stronger than just simple, meaningless training done by mortals."
"All you need to do is to accept me."
