My Sister is Ma Xiaoling from My Date with a Vampire
Chapter 7: Deceiving Riley!
When Ma Tian turned his head, he saw a young man in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a walking stick standing not far behind him.
The young man simply stood there quietly, exuding a rich aura of elegance and aristocratic bearing; every move he made revealed his innate nobility.
He stared directly at Ma Tian, his expression calm, but his deep eyes were filled with a sense of oppression, making people unconsciously want to worship him.
This is Riley, the Qin Shi Huang from the world of My Date with a Vampire!
At this moment, he was not as domineering and invincible as people imagined; instead, he resembled an elegant gentleman.
If Ma Tian hadn't known his identity, he would never have been able to connect this man with Qin Shi Huang, the emperor who unified the world.
Ma Tian looked back at him and smiled slightly:
"I never expected that she was one of your people, Mr. Riley. What I didn't expect even more is that you, Mr. Riley, are still alive and have even hidden in this barbaric land."
If Mr. Riley had stepped forward sooner, perhaps... I would have acted much faster!
Ma Tian grinned, revealing a chilling smile.
Upon hearing Ma Tian's words, Riley's calm expression, which had remained unchanged since he appeared, finally changed.
Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, the previously calm eyes suddenly became intensely focused on him, and she asked, word by word:
"Who are you?"
Riley never expected that someone would be able to identify him so clearly.
Although Ma Tian did not explicitly name his original identity, Riley had a hunch that the other party knew his true identity, the one he had almost forgotten for a thousand years.
In this world, the only person who could recognize his identity at a glance, in his memory, was Xu Fu, who had turned him into a zombie.
But he knew that the person in front of him was not Xu Fu, so who was he? And how did he know his identity?
A series of questions popped into Riley's mind, making him eager to know the identity of the person in front of him!
Ma Tian did not answer Riley's question directly, but instead squatted down and picked up the necklace that Kuang Tianyou had given to Wang Zhenzhen.
There is a watch on this chain, but the time on the watch is not turning clockwise, but counterclockwise.
After glancing at his watch, Ma Tian sighed and asked:
"Has Mr. Riley ever regretted his pursuit of immortality?"
Riley tightened his grip on the walking stick, then shook his head, thinking of the woman he deeply loved:
"I have never regretted it. If I hadn't achieved immortality, I wouldn't have met her."
Ma Tian smiled; he knew who Riley was referring to.
Then he asked:
"And what was the final result? Mr. Riley, do you think the final result was what you hoped for?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Riley's eyes as he slowly said:
"Perhaps this is the price of immortality."
Ma Tian nodded and said to himself:
Everything in the world has its own natural laws. Although God only gives humans a lifespan of a hundred years, it is enough time for humans to experience all the joys and sorrows of the world.
Finally, they pass away, either with satisfaction or with regret.
But this doesn't mean that a short lifespan is a bad thing.
Because of the short lifespan, people have learned to enjoy life while they can, to avoid regrets, and to make the most of their limited lives.
This is what has allowed human civilization to continuously progress under the impetus of these brilliant geniuses.
That's how we came to have the world and everything we have today.
Moreover, a short life can also bring an end to suffering people, freeing them from the pain of grief.
But some people still want to gain infinite life and live forever in the world.
Whatever his purpose in seeking immortality, from the moment he gained infinite lifespan, the curse of time would be firmly etched onto his soul.
While a long lifespan gives a person enough time to do what they want, it also means that they will have to watch their loved ones and friends leave them as time goes by.
He will experience the departure of his loved ones time and time again!
Grief and sorrow will always be with him and accompany him throughout his infinite life, never to be relieved.
At the same time, immortality inevitably comes at a price, and this price often makes the immortal suffer even more.
Mr. Riley must have already experienced this. I wonder if Mr. Riley still thinks that immortality is a good thing now?
After Ma Tian finished speaking, Riley's expression immediately turned painful, just as Ma Tian had predicted.
He paid too high a price in his pursuit of immortality, witnessing the deaths of his loved ones and the collapse of the empire he had painstakingly built throughout his life.
Witnessing the world change and the world transform!
His immortality made him increasingly out of place in this world.
Over the centuries, he has encountered people he likes more than once, but in the end, he can only watch them die or cause them countless sufferings because of his zombie identity.
That's how the tragedy happened fifty years ago. He had tried so hard, but in the end, he still created a tragedy.
Is this the curse of time?
Riley thought this through a heart full of anguish, but outwardly feigned composure and asked:
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Ma Tiantu's true colors are revealed.
"Mr. Riley, do you want to end all of this?"
That's right, that was Ma Tian's plan. He wasn't sure if he could kill Riley in a direct confrontation.
After all, Riley was a third-generation zombie.
Since that's the case, then I'll take advantage of my familiarity with the plot and make Riley surrender while he's filled with hatred for his zombie identity.
And it can't be delayed, otherwise once Shiya forgives Riley, Riley will fight to the death for Shiya's sake.
That's how it was originally; Riley had planned to have Ma Xiaoling kill him.
As a result, once Shiya forgave him, Riley's intention to die disappeared, and instead, for Shiya's safety, he prepared to deal with Ma Xiaoling.
If it weren't for Kuang Guohua's intervention, Ma Xiaoling might have died at Riley's hands.
Therefore, Ma Tian wanted to seize this best opportunity, take advantage of his desire to die, make him surrender, kill him, and advance smoothly!
Riley didn't take Ma Tian's words to heart at all; he had already guessed what Ma Tian was thinking from his words.
However, he scoffed at Ma Tian's idea.
He wanted to kill himself?
That depends on whether the other party has the capability!
Over the years, he had thought about dying, but as a zombie, he couldn't even kill himself. How could this person in front of him possibly kill him?
Although the other party almost killed Jenny just now, given their strength, they were far from capable of killing her.
"You?"
Riley retorted with a cold laugh.
Ma Tian nodded heavily: "It is indeed me."
He then began to introduce himself.
"Didn't Mr. Riley ask me who I am?"
My surname is Ma, Ma from the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan. Mr. Riley should be familiar with that, right?
Upon hearing this, Riley's heart, which had remained calm since his arrival, immediately began to pound violently.
The Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan!
How could he be a stranger?
When he first became a zombie, he was afraid that the Ma family would find out he had become a zombie and then kill him. That's why he conspired with Xu Fu to use Kuang Zhongtang to kill Ma Ling'er, the ancestor of the Ma family!
If it were the Ma family, they might actually kill me!
At that moment, Riley admitted that he was smitten!
He had long wanted to be free from this painful longevity. If he could die now, he wouldn't mind dying at the hands of this descendant of the Ma family.
The only thing he regretted was Shiya, but now he was afraid she would never forgive him.
Since that's the case, then...
