Ruan Mengmeng watched her older sister's half-crazed expression without a trace of fear. Instead, her smile grew even stranger. "Sister, die. Become my Martial Soul..."
Ruan Mengmeng swung her Cleaver hard at Ruan Tiantian. Tiantian had never imagined that the first thing her own little sister would do after getting to her feet was try to kill her.
"Mengmeng, why are you trying to kill me?" Ruan Tiantian dodged backward and fell to the floor. A piece of Hardtack dug painfully into her backside, and the jolt brought her back to her senses.
"Why? Because I'm filthy now. An animal raped me, all because you refused to run. If you'd taken me with you, none of this would have happened..." Ruan Mengmeng's voice dripped with hatred for her sister. "If your lousy Martial Soul had fully awakened, its evil aura wouldn't have clung to me. Would I be crippled then? If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up without a Martial Soul..."
"Sister, let me kill you. Then my Martial Soul will be whole, and we can be together forever..." Ruan Mengmeng swung the Cleaver at Ruan Tiantian again.
There was nowhere left for Ruan Tiantian to hide in the cramped room. She snatched up the Hardtack beside her, dodged the Cleaver, and slammed the roll into Ruan Mengmeng's forehead, knocking her unconscious.
Ruan Tiantian struggled to push the unconscious Ruan Mengmeng off her. Her gaze turned cold. "Little sister, I don't know what you mean by becoming your Martial Soul. But I don't want to die. I want to live. So die..."
Ruan Tiantian picked up Ruan Mengmeng's Cleaver and hacked at her neck. She did not stop until her head came off.
The houses in the North District offered little more than shelter from wind
