Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 271 A deal with the devil

Gu Zhi looked at the photos his assistant had brought and his lips curved into a sinister smile. It seems his little kitty was really enjoying her time with her husband such a shame it wouldn't last.

Subconsciously he found himself trailing his fingers along Yan Mei's face in the picture. She has grown into such a beautiful woman over the years. He had to admit Feng Mei was a beautiful woman no wonder a big man like Wang Lu loved her.

Seeing her smile so carefree and beautiful made his heart skipped a beat for an unknown reason.

Gu Zhi frowned at this strange feeling and put the photo down. Standing up he walked to the table to pour himself a glass of whisky.

Maybe being alone all these years was messing with his head. He needed a good fuck tonight.

The little maid he played chess with the other day flashed through his eyes. Gulping down the whiskey, Gu Zhi decided to call for her services tonight.

The moment he put down the glass. The lights flickered and everything became too quiet.

He heard the cracking sound as the door slowly opened. Gu Zhi saw a shadow standing at the doorway.

He blinked then the shadow was gone as if it was an illusion. Gu Zhi let out a humorless laugh, clearly he was being paranoid or was he?

Suddenly the hair at the back of his neck suddenly stood out as he felt a warmth breath of someone over his shoulder.

Gu Zhi spun around but there was no one there.

"Who is there?!" He roared out angrily but dead silence greeted him.

With the lights flickering aggressively now, he saw a long, skinny body with horns on the wall crawling towards him. The figure had sharp claws that screeched against the wall. It's eyes glowed bloody red as it's tongue snaked out to lick it's lips showing off the sharp teeth.

Gu Zhi stumbled back and shook his head.

"N-no no it can't be!" He mumbled coherently as he found his body in a trance. He couldn't scream or run. Gu Zhi stood there stiff as the creature reached him.

Dispair constricted his chest. "You don't seem happy to see me dear."

The creature said as it grinned a twisted grinned at him.

Gu Zhi sucked in a thick air as he swallowed.

"N-no." He shook his head as he said nervously.

The creature laughed as it's long tongue snaked out and licked Gu Zhi's lips.

"Oh I forgot I can be quite horrendous in my demonic form. Did I scare you?"

The creature chuckled manically as a black smoke surrounded it changing the creature into a beautiful woman.

To use beautiful to describe her was an understatement. She was absolutely gorgeous. Like a fallen angel gorgeous as her thick, dark red haired fell on her shoulders down to her waist.

Eyes of the color of a blazing fire gazed down at Gu Zhi as her sensual lips curled into a grin.

"I do apologize for scaring you earlier."

Gu Zhi swallowed as he calm down his raging hormones.

Anytime she spoke he found himself getting lost. Her voice was absolutely breathtaking.

She was a devilish temptress and she knew it. Just the sound of her voice can cause nations to fall. Make men mortal enemies.

Suddenly the grin on her face morphed into a frown as she sat down while crossing her leg over the other.

"So tell me…" She paused as she looked at Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi's heart jolted in his chest as his palms became clammy.

"Why is that man's child still alive? I gave you a simple task in exchange to live again but it's been years and you still haven't been able to do anything."

The woman lips morphed into a smile. A smile Gu Zhi knew too well.

"I-I have finally found her and everything is going according to my plans. I just need more time."

The almighty and arrogant Gu Zhi couldn't help but be afraid of the temptress before him. He stammered.

A shiver run along his spine when he heard her sinister laugh. His stomach turned and he suddenly felt a hot liquid on his lips.

Subconsciously he licked his lips and tasted the blood on his lips. He felt more liquid trickling down his face and clothes. Gu Zhi knew better than to scream or run away. He watched as the woman stood up and strode slowly towards him.

With sudden movements she touched the blood on his forehead and brought it to her lips.

"Time?" She laughed out.

"I don't have that much patience my dear. Now my patience is running thin. I think I have been lenient with you so you have forgotten who owns you."

Gu Zhi shook his head when head. How can he forget the deal he made with the devil? It has been haunting him every night.

"No I haven't! I have planned everything I will kill her soon!"

"Hmm…for your sake I hope so or you know what I will do to your poor soul, human."

Suddenly Gu Zhi could smell his flesh burning as he screamed out, "Why? I told you I need time"

The woman watched him in silent and then began to fade away, with her last statement,

"Your punishment for wasting my time. The next time I come it will be worse." She laughed.

"Remember our deal darling, a deal with a devil is no child's play, human. One week. You have only one week." Then she disappeared leaving Gu Zhi to groaned and writhed in pain.

Gu Zhi has no idea how long his flesh burned. The last thing he remember is the sun set and his regret for making a deal with the devil.

But thinking about his sister and the promise he made her, his lips curved into a smile. It doesn't matter how much he suffers for the love of his sister he can withstand any pain and rain torment on her enemies. With this last thought he blacked out.
