Chapter 6
- “I’m hungry.” Jun Wu Xie’s main priority was to get well fast – the longer she left it to those quacks…she shuddered just from the thought of it.
- Jun Wu Yao left her in the care of the servants and quietly disappeared.
- After storming out from Lin Palace, Bai Yun Xian’s face was full of discontent. No matter how much Mo Xuan Fei tried to coax her, she simply ignored him.
- “If it wasn’t you who had requested me, do you think I would have even stepped into that place? Who does she think she is?” Bai Yun Xian huffed as she bit her lower lip. As Qing Yun Clan Sovereign’s disciple, the number of people seeking her was as long as a dragon, however on the account of Mo Xuan Fei, despite her own reluctance she still went over. The result? She was driven out! She had never suffered from such humiliation before.
- “Yun Xian, why waste your energy over a waste?” he cajoled her.
- “No matter what, you are a Prince of a kingdom! By lowering your head in front of another…you….” Sneered Bai Yun Xian.
- Mo Xuan Fei’s face flushed with embarrassment.
- “Do not be angry, I will definitely take revenge for you.” Appeasing her was the key.
- Sure enough, after hearing those words of his, Bai Yun Xian’s expression was slightly better.
- “Don’t forget this promise of yours.” She peeked over at him.
- “Definitely, I won’t make any empty promises.” Mo Xuan Fei heaved a sigh of relief.
- To cheer her up, Mo Xuan Fei did not directly head back to the palace. Instead, they travelled in the carriage with a team of guards and went out of town to sightsee. Only when she finally revealed a smiling face after watching the sunset at the famed ‘Sea of Flowers’ did they head back to the city.
- On their way back, in the carriage Mo Xuan Fei was holding onto Yun Xian’s hands as they leaned on each other.
- The carriage came to an abrupt stop. The carriage was travelling at a relatively fast pace and when it was stopped so suddenly, they almost fell out of the carriage.
- “Why did you stop!” bellowed Mo Xuan Fei.
- But no one responded to his question.
- As he went out to reprimand them, he could see a silhouette of a person quietly standing in front of the entourage as the darkness of the night enveloped him. The light from the flames of the torches could not reach his face.
- “Who is there?” Mo Xuan Fei asked with a guarded expression. By this time, Bai Yun Xian had also stepped out of the carriage.
- The team at the front watched the stranger cautiously as they watched him slowly raised his slightly opened hands when he suddenly clenched his fist.
- Instantly all the bodyguards’ bodies burst at the same time, splattering blood everywhere.
- “Aaahhhhhhhh!” Bai Yun Xian let out a shrill scream as the bloody remains splattered onto her beautiful skirt.
- The fire torches all fell to the ground, turning their surrounding into a wall of fire. In the middle of it all were two frightened figures closely huddled together.
- Watching the ring of fire, a lone figure took a step back. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a good temper.” He whispered under the moonlight.
- The little black cat was lying comfortably on Jun Wu Xie’s lap, enjoying it’s mistress’s touch.
- [Mistress, this Lin Palace is not safe, should we leave?] The little black cat purred. What happened today only showed that Lin Palace could not hold out much longer. The Royal Palace actions were clearly getting out of hand.
- “We’re not going anywhere.” Jun Wu Xie casually replied.
- This world was not the same as her past life, though Lin Palace was slowly crumbling, it was still the safest haven.
- Even though she was an expert in medicine, she can’t change the fact that the current her was physically very weak, in this strange world there are too many dangers lurking around.
- “Lin Palace’s main power is Jun Xian, since I’m here, I will not let him die so easily.” Jun Wu Xie eyebrow raised her eyebrows slightly, whoever she wanted to protect, she would not fail at it.
- “This body’s constitution is too poor, even lacking a contractual spirit, if I had one I would be able to survive better in this world.”
- ‘What is a contractual spirit?’ The little black cat knew nothing of this world.
- Jun Wu Xie raised her right hand, and showed it her ring finger.
- Slender fingers, soft and smooth like white jade.
- Normally upon reaching the age of fourteen, a ring will appear on the right hand’s ring finger but there was nothing on hers.
- “Meow?” Black Cat held onto her slender fingers with its furry paws, clinging onto her slender fingers and gently licked the finger she stuck out.
- Suddenly it constricted its pupils!
- [Mistress, there seems to be a strange power on your finger, are you sure it is not a contractual spirit?]The black cat could sense a small trace of spiritual fluctuations.
- Jun Wu Xie eyebrow raised her eyebrows slightly, stroking her right hand’s ring finger, she could not see anything, but when her fingers grazed past she could feel a strange surge of spiritual fluctuations surrounding her fingertips. Her heart was beating with excitement as she felt the power converging around her ring finger.
- There was a sudden burst of brilliance which illuminated the whole room!
- A white lotus enveloped in a silvery white light was floating in mid-air.
- “Meow.”
- [A flower?] The pair of black eyes blinked a few times and looked over at Jun Wu Xie hesitatingly.
- Contractual spirits species are divided into two types – they can either turn into weapons or morph into mighty beasts.
- But Wu Xie’s spirit turned out to be a white lotus ……Plant contractual spirits were really unheard of.
- Jun Wu Xie carefully reached out as the white lotus slowly landed on her palm.
- As she was slowly studying the lotus, there was a knock on the door.
- At that moment, the white lotus disappeared without a trace.
- “Come in.” she answered impatiently.
- Jun Wu Yao stepped in as he lazily leaned against the door, hands holding a bowl of medicine.
- “Time to take your medicine.”
