Chapter 230 Zhen-Zhen Vs Her Inner Demon
Zhen-Zhen was still oblivious of what was happening in her surroundings as of this moment. She was facing her inner demon in her subconscious right now.
Zhen-Zhen: "I won't let you hurt Tristan again."
Zhen-Zhen's ID: "Why do you still want to protect that guy? He hurt your feelings. You can have any guy you want in this world. I can help you with that. I can make anyone fall for you."
Zhen-Zhen clenched her fists. She was mad at her inner demon. She hurt Tristan.
Zhen-Zhen: "There's only one Tristan."
Her inner demon couldn't help but laugh, mocking her as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke.
Zhen-Zhen's ID: "Can't you see? He is not in love with you. I know and you know very well who's the woman in his heart. That's the reason why you hide here because you can't handle the truth."
Zhen-Zhen became fiercer compared to before. She glanced at her inner demon with her sharp eyes.
Zhen-Zhen: "I made a terrible mistake. If I had known that you would hurt the people I cared about then I should have never let you take over my body."
"You touched my bottom line. I will punish you for that. I will bring you back to where you belong." Zhen-Zhen said with so much conviction.
Her inner demon just laughed sarcastically at her. "Try me. Do you think you can defeat me? I am more powerful than you now. How can a naive girl like you defeat me?"
Zhen-Zhen smiled at her inner demon. That kind of smile was pissing her inner demon to the core.
"Why are you smiling? Accept the fact that you can't win against me. You will not be able to take over this body again. It's mine!" Her inner demon was enraged.
She started to release her dark aura, preparing to attack Zhen-Zhen at any moment.
Zhen-Zhen showed her inner demon her confidence. She was not intimidated by her strong magical power. She started to walk closer to her inner demon.
Her inner demon frowned. She couldn't tell what Zhen-Zhen was planning to do. She was just walking in her direction, unguarded. She's not even using her magical power.
Unknowingly, her inner demon suddenly stepped back. She didn't want Zhen-Zhen to come closer. She warned her that she would attack her if she didn't stop.
But Zhen-Zhen ignored her warning. She just continued walking towards her inner demon. It was her inner demon who felt threatened and uneasy right now.
"I'm sorry. This is my fault. I filled your heart with so much hatred and bitterness. It's my fault that I failed to balance everything. You are right. I am a naive girl and I am a coward to face the truth. Hiding in my shell, instead of confronting the problem head-on."
"But thanks to you, I realized my mistake. You taught me an important lesson."
Zhen-Zhen's inner demon was taken aback by her words. She couldn't understand her.
It did not take long when Zhen-Zhen reached her spot. The gentle smile on Zhen-Zhen's face never left as her blue eyes met her dark eyes.
Zhen-Zhen suddenly hugged her inner demon just like Tristan, who was now hugging Zhen-Zhen's body. At that certain moment, Zhen-Zhen's inner demon felt the warmth of both embraces coming from Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
They were able to calm her angry heart filled with hatred and bitterness. In an instant, Zhen-Zhen succeeded in taking control of her mind and body once again.
By the time she woke up, Zhen-Zhen's eyes found Tristan who was hugging her tightly. Then she heard Tristan's voice.
"Zhen-Zhen, I-I... I'm sorry. And I didn't mean to hurt you… There's no me and Hannah… " Tristan said to her in his weak voice.
Zhen-Zhen couldn't believe what she had just heard from Tristan. She wanted to ask him further to confirm it… to confirm that she didn't hear it wrong… that she was not imagining those words.
But just after Tristan uttered those words, Tristan collapsed in her arms.
"Tristan?!"
Zhen-Zhen had no idea what happened. When she looked in front of her, she saw the man in a black robe who was wearing an astounded expression. He was still holding the divine sword in his hand.
Zhen-Zhen's eyes widened in fear when she saw the tips of the sword tainted by fresh blood.
'Don't tell me that's… t-that's Tristan's blood?'
Zhen-Zhen's eyes suddenly became scarlet red. She lay Tristan's body on the ground first before she stood up and faced the guardian warrior with her darkened expression.
Zhen-Zhen's was emanating a chilly aura. She's freaking mad right now. The guardian warrior felt intimidated by her frightening appearance.
He was ready to launch another attack. What happened a while ago was unexpected. He was aiming to kill the demon god's daughter but suddenly Tristan ran in the middle of them.
When he was about to plunge his sword into Zhen-Zhen's heart, Tristan hugged her. It was too late to stop it. In the end, Tristan was the one who got stabbed by the sword.
Using his power, he threw fires in Zhen-Zhen's direction but Zhen-Zhen was able to extinguish them easily. Zhen-Zhen was able to summon a fire dragon, attacking the guardian warrior.
Zhen-Zhen's power unimaginably increased three times compared to before. The guardian couldn't retaliate the moment the orange fire dragon attacked him. His fire shield didn't even work against it.
The fire dragon was able to penetrate it. It surrounded his body immediately like it was a snake wrapping him. He thought that he was about to meet his end. He would be killed by the demon god's daughter.
But at the last minute, Zhen-Zhen controlled the fire dragon. Using the fire dragon, she threw the guardian warrior's body to the portal. She was sending him back to the world where they came from.
After doing that, Zhen-Zhen used her remaining power to close the portal her inner demon had created a while ago.
She immediately went to Tristan who was about to lose his consciousness. He saw what Zhen-Zhen did. He was glad that Zhen-Zhen didn't kill the man.
Zhen-Zhen kneeled beside him and gathered Tristan's body in her arms. Her eyes were still red but they were filled with worries and concern for Tristan.
Tristan smiled at Zhen-Zhen. He could somehow feel that his Zhen-Zhen was back to her usual self.
"Tristan, please hang on," Zhen-Zhen said with her desperate voice. Her tears began to fall like raindrops.
With his remaining strength, Tristan raised his hand to caress her face and wipe her tears. He preferred this kind of ending compared to the nightmare he had before where Zhen-Zhen was the one who saved him.
He watched her disappear in his arms before. He couldn't bear to see that in real life. He was willing to sacrifice his life for her. He didn't hesitate to do it just now.
He was glad that despite the pain he had caused her, he was able to protect Zhen-Zhen.
"Zhen-Zhen, I failed you. Instead of making you happy, I am making you sad. But please wifey… don't go… don't leave me… I can't imagine my life without you…"
"Zhen-Zhen… I… love you…"
After saying that, Tristan was finally engulfed by darkness. He lost his consciousness.
