Chapter 84

84 Terrifying.

Blood gushed out from the body of the maid like a lid being lifted off a fountain, it not only splattered on the ground and stained it red, but it also splattered on Liu Hui Ying, turning her pastel blue robe into blood red.

” Oh,” she mused as she looked down at the still-pumping heart that was sticking at the edge of the sword and curled her lips on one side. ” I thought that it will be coloured black but looks like yours was just like that of a normal human, what a shame.”

She tilted her sword straight such that the heart would slide down from its tip and continued, ” Looks like a villain is no different than the innocent ones huh, no wonder I am often treated as the villain, we have no proof to point the wrong ones from the right, hmm.”

” That’s not cool at all,” she murmured as she raised her feet and smashed the heart into a pile of minced flesh causing even more blood to gush out. ” It sort of makes me mad.”

” She is crazy,” Yu Lingyun remarked with a loud gulp as he dragged Zhai Heng back with him as he headed towards Zhai Tianyu and Ji Yu. ” She is crazy mad, I never thought that I will be scared of someone so much but I am, I mean I accept that the maid kind of deserved what was coming for her after what she did to Ji Yu but this ...this was simply too much!”

Zhai Heng, on the other hand, didn’t say anything, he furtively looked at Liu Hui Ying and felt his heart flutter, maybe he was wrong to feel like this but for once he felt that Liu Hui Ying was rather cool.

” Qui Ai,” Liu Hui Ying called the maid who despite being scared was collecting the money that she has won in the bet. ” Bring me a towel.”

At this moment, if Liu Hui Ying asked the people in the training ground to take off their clothes and dance for her, they would have been very much obliged to do so. So, when she asked for a towel, not one but many hands were stretched out carrying what looked like a towel used to wipe their faces.

” My missy doesn’t like the scent of males,” said Qui Ai as she walked to Xiaolin and haughtily raised her chin at the maid who wanted to rush up to her missy and asked, ” My missy saved your missy’s life the least you can do is to give her a towel to wipe the blood off.”

.....

Since they did not plan on going to the training grounds, Qui Ai did not bring anything like a towel to wipe face with her, if not she would have never asked for anything from someone like Xiaolin who liked to talk down on her missy.

Xiaolin’s face turned red with embarrassment, she has always badmouthed the Empress, she would even call her good for nothing when compared to her missy but now the Empress not only beat her missy in a match fairly but she also saved the life of her missy, now Xiaolin felt like she behaved like an unreasonable bully.

” Y..yes you can,” she hurriedly handed the towel to Qui Ai wishing that the latter would leave as soon as possible, her attention was on her missy who was still in shock as she clutched her womb. If not for the Emperor, she would have rushed to her missy already.

Qui Ai took the towel to Liu Hui Ying who took it from her hands and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was silently coaxing his woman and calmly looked away. She wasn’t interested in watching this lovey-dovey scene anyway, she wiped the blood off her face and then pushed back the strands of her hair that fell over when she was sparring with Ji Yu and then turned to look at Qui Ai as she said, “Let us go back Xiao Ai, I am tired and sticky, I wish to take a bath in the hot water.”

” Right away miss,” Qui Ai wasn’t scared of her missy, in fact, she was really proud of her missy this way everyone will think twice before bullying her, missy!

She took the bloody towel from Liu Hui Ying’s hands before she used the towel to clean the blood on the stairs, the towel was already dirty because of the blood and it could no longer be used after being stained with the blood of that lowly maid who harmed one of the Concubines like this.

It was better for Qui Ai to use the towel and clean the stairs such that her missy won’t slip, right?

” Please come with me now your majesty,” said Qui Ai after she was done cleaning the blood on the stairs, everyone around the training ground looked at the maid of the Empress with the same horror as they were looking at the Empress, what was this huh? What was this?

Even the maid wasn’t shocked by the sight in front of her just how many times did see something like this happening in front of her? What they did not know was that Qui Ai was so loyal to Liu Hui Ying that if the latter had ripped her heart out instead of the maid, she would have still dragged her cold corpse to use it as a stepping stone for her mistress such that her shoes would not get dirty because of her blood.

” Make sure to wipe your shoes,” she added as she placed the towel on the edge of the stairs and continued, ” I heard that the flesh of a heart is somewhat smooth and slippery, maybe you will slip in case you aren’t paying attention to where you are going, so make sure that you wipe your shoes carefully on it.”

Everyone in the training ground: “...” Scary! Both the master and the maid are just as scary! QAQ what kind of monster did their poor Emperor marry?
