Chapter 608

The Feelings that Didn’t Get Through
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

When humans transformed in a Water Demon, they hold no previous memories, however, there were some mages who were the exception. Like Jiang Liu for example, his grudge was so strong from his previous life, (wanting to kill You XiaoMo even as he was about to die) that even after death, it was deeply imprinted into his mind. Even after he became a Water Demon, the first thing he wanted to do was to kill You XiaoMo.

Thus, when it heard their conversation, the Water Demon was furious.

You XiaoMo wasn’t afraid of him, after all, when they met Jiang Liu in Xing Luo City, he was still high grade level nine. Even now he was just a lower grade level ten so during their time apart, it didn’t change much.

Since Jiang Liu became a Water Demon, his strength did improve, probably because he became an evil spirit of a sorts, but it was still not enough to be You XiaoMo’s opponent.

It wasn’t even five minutes before the Water Demon was below You XiaoMo’s feet with it’s limbs severed. A thick, blue-greenish liquid poured out from it’s wounds, seeping into the earth.

The main weapon of a Water Demon was it’s infectious properties. Air borne infections only affected normal people, for experts like them, they would only be affected by scratch wounds. Thus, when fighting a Water Demon, unless one had the strength to annihilate it immediately, most would sever it’s limbs first, to protect themselves from being scratched.

You XiaoMo had never fought with a Water Demon before, it was the young man’s suggestion. The contained Water Demon made a sharp piercing scream, like the sound of scratching metal, it pierced through the ear drums. It was full of anger and dissatisfaction, but without it’s limbs, it was just like a leopard without it’s claws.

Even if You XiaoMo didn’t kill it then, just by letting it out to dry by the lake, in a few weeks, it would die.

You XiaoMo sighed with emotion, “Seeing that we used to be students of the same Academy, I’ll call you Jiang-shidi for the last time as I’m sure you don’t want to be a monster like the Water Demon. Don’t worry, I’ll release you from your pain now. Just a thing, if reincarnation exists, let’s hope to never meet again.”

“Euagh!!” The Water Demon let out an angry roar. It wasn’t able to talk, so it could only use sounds to express his fury, but it seemed that it’s enemy never understood it.

You XiaoMo raised his hands and smashed his fist into its head. Just like that, in a unwillingness, it’s life was ended by his enemy. While the ‘executioner’ was still feeling touched at his good deed.

On the side, the young man watched as the whole scene unfold. Uncontrollably, his mouth started twitching. If he guessed correctly, there should be some sort of a grudge between the two.

He was somewhat knowledgeable on Water Demons. If there wasn’t enmity from it’s previous life, it wouldn’t have looked at You XiaoMo with such resenting eyes. Since, this kind of hatred was strong enough to be remembered even as a Water Demon, that could only mean, in their previous life, it was an extreme hatred.

However, no matter how he saw it, he felt that You XiaoMo was unaware of Jiang Liu’s hatred for him. By the looks of things, it could very well be a one-sided hatred on Jiang Liu’s part.

What could be sadder. If Jiang Liu knew in the underworld, he would definitely turn over in his grave. His hated person not only killed him, and even thought that he was doing a good deed. Just to rub salt into his wounds, You XiaoMo even thought that Jiang Liu should be grateful for his kind act.
