Mu Yuxi felt something sharp hit the back of her calf, and then pain slashed through her skin as if someone has just pierced her skin with a fiery hot poker. She let out a loud scream as she fell to the ground, hands scratching against the rough gravel on the road as blood dripped down her leg, Mu Yuxi looked down at the hunting knife that was sticking in her calf and her entire face turned pallid as she looked at Yu Dong with a gaze that was both angry and afraid. " Yu Dong, have you gone mad? For the sake of a mer, you are willing to offend me? Have you forgotten whose daughter I am— arghh, You Bitch!"

  Mu Yuxi didn't even get a chance to vent out the anger she was feeling in her heart as Yu Dong stomped in her direction and kicked her stomach. If Fang Chi's hit got the wind to be knocked out of her body, Yu Dong's hit was like she was hit by a bull who was heading right in towards her, Yu Dong didn't hold back and she was ruthless as ever as she stomped on Mu Yuxi's stomach. "It's not the matter of any mer, it's my mer that you kidnapped and tried to take advantage of! You could have taken fancy to any mer but yet you had to go after a mer that you couldn't have! If you really wanted to die this bad then why did go through this song and dance you could have come to my house and asked me to kill you, I would have done that quite happily. Then why didn't you?"

  Each time Yu Dong said a word, she would stomp on Mu Yuxi's stomach. The pressure wasn't light and soon Mu Yuxi was coughing and retching as she tried to get away from Yu Dong. " What ….what do you mean that I couldn't have Fang Chi? He was mine, to begin with! I was the one who was with him in the beginning, if only you didn't—"

  " If only I what?" asked Yu Dong as she picked Mu Yuxi by her hair and slammed her head against the boulder on the side of the road." If I didn't do what? I shouldn't have taken responsibility for him? I shouldn't have saved his life and watched him jump down the river? Or I shouldn't have picked up the broken pieces that you left behind in your wake after you were done with him? Is that what you are trying to say?"

  Yu Dong's eyes turned red as she collared Mu Yuxi's throat and clenched her fingers around her neck until she cut off her air supply. " You are a sore loser Mu Yuxi, do you know that? Even your mother understood that what she did was wrong and stopped coming to make trouble with me but you were just so bent on your ugly possessive streak that you couldn't see anything past yourself! Have you thought now that you have done something like this what will happen to your family? Or the mer whom you married? He is with your child for f*cks sake and here you are kidnapping someone else's groom."

  She screamed at Mu Yuxi before releasing her when she saw that Mu Yuxi was turning blue. It wasn't that she was taking pity on her but she believed that it would be a shame if Mu Yuxi died so easily and avoided all the Karma that was coming for her.

  " You are one to talk." coughed out Mu Yuxi as she took a huge gulp of air with a nasty sneer playing on her lips. " You think that you can lecture me on this topic? Look at yourself first Yu Dong, you married three husbands and treated them like shit! The three of them are only alive because the villagers took pity on you and your husbands or else they would have been dead by now! Who do you think that you can lecture me for not taking care of my pregnant husband? At least I gave him food and clothing to keep him warm what about you? Do I need to remind you how they were living under your care a few months ago—"

  Yu Dong threw a punch at Mu Yuxi, furious that she compared herself to that good for nothing Yu Dong. She wasn't a piece of trash like Mu Yuxi and the original Yu Dong.

  " The truth stings doesn't it?" sneered Mu Yuxi as she cradled her cheek and coughed out a lump of flesh on the ground. " You think that you are so much better than me? You are the same as me, you might pretend like you care about Fang Chi but everyone in the village knows that you and him are nothing but forced companions. You don't care about him, you don't love him—"

  " and you do?" said Yu Dong as she raised her leg and kicked Mu Yuxi down so the latter fell hard on her tailbone. " You kidnapped him against his will, and tried to sexually assault him when he repeatedly said 'no'. Do you think that we are playing a f*cking drama here? That he is playing the role of a shy lover and you are his fierce beloved? When Fang Chi meant 'no' that meant no! If he tells me that he doesn't want to marry me that he doesn't like him and there is someone else he wanted then I would have taken it as my answer. A no means a no, Mu Yuxi! No matter how you try to interpret it. I might have been an asshole but that doesn't mean that I am still acting like one. I stoop back on my feet and changed my ways, hell even when I was an idiot, I only ruined the life of my family, I didn't pull someone else in my shit and what about you?"

  With a sneer, Yu Dong swooped down and dug her nails into Mu Yuxi's neck. " You destroyed the life of a mer that wasn't even yours, say how will you like to repay it? With blood or with bones?"
