BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 The Reward Was Worth The Wait...
"Apparently the pot of food was poisoned, and the little ones ate it too," Chiron sighed, "their bodies are not strong and they do not have cultivation to preserve their lives."
He shook his head in pity.
Meanwhile, Carla was already crying her heart out on them in low deep growls.
"Wake up!" she whispered continually through her tears, but none of them responded.
She could see it. Their skin had even started to change color and blood came out of their noses, eyes, and even ears.
Carla held them tight in her embrace. This was her world, and it had just been destroyed. It had been totally destroyed.
Even now, as she looked at their forever-still faces, she could still hear their voices when they played, or even when they argued with one another.
She remembered when they eat together, and when she would tell them bed time stories.
"Big Sister! I want to be a strong cultivator like you."
"Me too! Me too!! I want to be strong so that I can heal mother, and beat bad guys."
Their voices were like the ghosts of pasts echoes in her ears.
All their dreams and aspirations had now been flushed down the drain. All because their own mother and father sort to please another man, Carla had lost her world.
As she cried, she coughed out some blood, and her skin had started to have purple spots. She was dying.
Once more, Chiron walked over to her side and dropped the bottle of healing potion. However, she slapped it away.
"Hmmm! are you so willing to die!? you want to join your younger ones? And what will they say when you meet at the other side, and you tell them that you sacrificed the possibility of a better life because you missed them? What will they say when they find out that their dear sister had the opportunity of avenging them but was a coward?"
As he talked, Chiron observed the changes in her expression. at first it was blank, but slowly, she started to think about his words.
"Tell me Carla?" He demanded as he grabbed her by the shoulder, "What will they say when they know that you could have made their dream and climb to the top of the cultivator world? Huh!? TELL ME!!!"
Those words echoed loudly in her head. She did not want to think about it. But how could she not?
She had also realized that her siblings would probably hate her for it.
She had the opportunity to live their dream but gave up on it because of her fear, and loneliness.
She sobbed lowly, "bu... but... I'm not strong enough! I can't live with myself."
Chiron nodded his head, "then why don't you live for them," he looked closely into her eyes, "why don't you live for me!?"
Those words struck a cord in her heart.
She suddenly remembered when she had first seen Chiron at the Awakening ceremony. She remembered how he was treated by the other children. She remembered how he protected his young sister. She remembered how he stood up for her. How he saved her life against Ponzi and the others, and she remembered that night they had together.
Surprisingly, against all odds, Chiron had always come out alive and on top. Even though he was born with the inability to use dantain, he had always been on top, and had worked hard to get there.
Thoughts about him saturated her mind, and she started to see things in a different light.
Even if not for anyone, she realized she could live for him.
Slowly, she nodded.
Chiron let her go, and she fell to the ground. She crawled her way to the bottle of healing potion. She opened it, and then she drank the entire thing.
The moment she did, she could feel the immediate effects of the drug.
*Cough!*Cough!*
She could hear the coughing sounds of her mother from behind her.
This made her frown. She turned and removed the long knife from her father's throat as she approached her own mother.
She knelt at her side and stroked her hair.
Her mother opened her eyes and stared at her. She was muttering something, but Carla was not interested in an apology.
"You were their mother, and they loved you so..." she tried to hold back her tears, but they still fell with her snort, "They loved you so much, yet you hurt them,"
As Carla spoke at the height of her emotions, her mother looked over to the children. There was an obvious surprise in her eyes, "I didn't give them the..."
*STAB!*STAB!* STAB!*
She stabbed her right in the chest over and over again without stopping.
She bared out all her anger with the long knife.
Blood splattered on her face continually.
For every stab she made, was more blood. Also, Carla's expression, had totally changed.
And as she stabbed, it morphed from crying, to hatred, to indifference, and then it settled at laughter.
Meanwhile, Chiron watched the show progress with a smile at the side of his lips.
In his own opinion, the only thing that was currently missing was maybe Popcorn from his previous world.
But then again, he was not just the producer of this show, he was also an actor, and director.
<Congratulations Host. You have been awarded 200 points for changing Fate>
Chiron could not believe what he was seeing. After all, He had been struggling with gathering points for a long time.
Killing people only gave him about 10 points. The highest he had gotten was from the events with Fate's Knights which was around 50 points.
But Changing Carla's Fate had given him a full 200 points. He had to admit that the effort was actually worth the reward.
What he needed for the repair of his Aura Dantain was around 1000 points. He had just acquired 200 points. A little more, and he would be able to heal it.
Chiron watched as Carla bloodied herself with her mother's corpse and another idea came to his mind. After all, who said he could not give it a little more push...
