Chapter 171 Misery
Lily started laughing all of a sudden, "Unfortunately, my husband didn't leave me a legacy. To you, your husband and children are your life. But to me, only my husband is my world."
"It's enough, Ling'er" Daniuis sighed as he stepped forward.
"No, please wait a moment..." Su Hualing blocked him, her eyes held a pleading gaze to it.
He looked at her and then took a step back as he couldn't bring himself to see her cry. He knew that she was very kind and couldn't digest these kinds of tragic endings.
Su Hualing took a deep breath before she turned back and looked at Lily.
But before she could even say anything, a faint ruthlessness flashed in Lily's eyes as she shouted at Su Hualing, "I would rather kill myself than see myself become a whore!"
A dagger appeared in her hands before she tried to slit her own throat.
"No!" Su Hualing froze.
But just before Lily could slit her throat, a small hand suddenly grasped her hands, stopping her dagger just an inch away from her neck.
Lily incredulously looked at the boy who looked to be 15-year-old at first glance.
Her first thought was that she wanted to shout at him, but seeing that the other party looked like a 15-year-old, her expression turned to be one of confusion before slowly regaining clarity, "Leave me alone boy, I want to die..."
Davis gave a warm smile before he opened his mouth, "Elder sister, I think your late husband wouldn't like for you to kill yourself just because he died..."
Lily was dumbfounded for a moment before she faintly laughed as she shook her head, "I wouldn't have the face to meet him in the afterlife if I spend my life with another man..."
He then looked at her peculiarly, "Then how about spending your remaining lifetime alone?"
Lily laughed at his question again, "Young Child, you don't know how the world operates. Even if you want to live peacefully, trouble comes looking for you. Even if I live alone, my heart will unconsciously search for someone else to fill its hole. This elder sister has lived for 80 years already, you could say that I lived a perfect mortal life."
Davis looked at her eyes which held a faint determination to it.
He then opened his mouth, "Elder sister, you seem to be mistaken about something..."
"Oh, what am I mistaken about?" Lily narrowed her eyes.
He smiled, "I'm not here to convince you to live, I'm here to kill you..."
Lily widened her eyes in astonishment before she laughed as she shook her head, "Haha, child. Your scheme won't work on me. Trying to pluck out my will to live, are we?"
"That's not it... I thought your late husband will hate himself for making you attempt suicide. That's why I thought that I should kill you so I can gather his hate onto myself..."
Lily was startled, "Sigh, that's very kind of you, but I have not fallen so low as to make a child carry the burden of my death."
This was actually the reason why she asked Leader Daniuis to kill her. If he did, then she didn't have to kill herself incurring the wrath of the heavens.
"Now if you would be as kind as to stop grabb..." She suddenly stopped her words as her eyes lost its light.
She slowly fell sideways from her kneeling position before Davis grasped her shoulders, making her stop from collapsing.
"I hope elder sister reincarnates and gets to be together with your husband in your next life..." He muttered as closed her eyes and slowly laid her down on the sandy ground.
"Dead?" Su Hualing muttered with her eyes wide.
A tear trickled down from her eyes before she turned back and embraced her husband.
Daniuis embraced her tightly as she sobbed while her two sisters came forward to comfort her worriedly.
Although, his eyes were fixed onto the figure who looked like a 15-year-old.
Davis looked at Lily and sighed.
There were two reasons for killing her.
One, he sympathised with her and the second, most important reason was that he needed to heal his soul as soon as possible.
For that, he decided to grant her temporary, yet determined wish of wanting to die.
He suddenly sympathized with her feelings, causing him to take action for her.
He had killed her with the Death Note almost painlessly, absorbed her soul and also made sure to make his soul force fluctuate a little.
As to whether she will reincarnate or not, he knew that she will as he had asked about this matter from the Death Note a short while after it had said those who use it will not be able to reincarnate.
Apparently, the soul essence of a person has ten components, namely the seven physical souls and three spiritual souls.
When a person dies, the spiritual soul enters the cycle of reincarnation, while the physical souls remain and rot in or around the dead body.
What the Death Note absorbs are the physical souls which are Yin in nature as opposed to the spiritual souls which are Yang in nature.
So what he absorbed from all the victims were only the seven physical souls of their soul essence, not their three spiritual souls.
As for whether she will reunite with her husband or not, it was up to fate.
A few moments passed before Daniuis stopped embracing Su Hualing and stepped in front of her as he opened his mouth coldly, "Who are you?"
Hearing that, Davis turned to look at Daniuis, but before he could say anything, a worried voice echoed out.
"H-he's Davis, a child who has just left the mountains after his master died. I saved him from the clutches of the Ferocious Vulture!" Su Hualing introduced hurriedly.
She then explained what and all happened from the moment she met him.
The three of them were astonished to hear her part of the story though they had some doubts clouding their minds.
