Chapter 14 - 14. They Drink My Blood

Xu Tingfeng POV

After I left the main hall, I directly went to Bei Zhou. We used the combination of Qinggong and wind magic, that's why we can arrive there in 2 and half hour. We killed all the royal family because all of them are sc.u.mbags too. They were the usual royal family, killing each other for power. Then why don't I help them with that? We killed the corrupt officer and minister too. After one hour of killing spree, we left Bei Zhou.

I kept thinking about Hong er waiting for me at home. I always pray to the gods so that Hong er can live a better life out there. But It still didn't work, she lived as a slave, how can a father not be furious after knowing his daughter was slaved?

I was too absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't realize I had arrive. I noticed that a little white creature is talking with the guards. When I want to scold the guards for not properly di his job, I realized that they were talking to Hong er. What is that in their hand? A bowl? Hm? It smells like ginger. Then I saw that she pushed Ah Tong and walked here.

She bowed, " My Lord, you had come home."

I nodded. " ehm, What are you doing this early? The sun hasn't even rise yet."

Hong er: " ooohh, I cook for the soldiers when I was a slave. That's why I had to wake up early and now it became a habit. Hehehe."

Xu Tingfeng: " But it is cold out here, why don't you go back to your room and warm yourself up? Look, even your hand had become this cold."

I rub her hands to make it warm but what I saw is scars. Her little white hands had scars everywhere.

Xu Tingfeng: " How did you get this?"

Hong er: " I practice swordmanship with a kitchen knife that's why I got so many cuts on my hands."

I looked at her solemnly, " tell me the truth."

Hong er: " … they cut my hands and drank my blood. If I refuse or struggle, they would tie me with prickly wire. Then the blood will come out if I struggle. They used their sword to cut my palms, my arms, my legs and my thighs after that they will drain my blood into a cup."

Third person POV

Xu Tingfeng's hand froze. All the soldiers, the guards, and the 10 shadow guards are shocked. They drank her blood? She was this skinny and little, they still drain her blood?!

Xu Tingfeng: " Wh-Why?"

Hong er: " They said that my blood can heal their wounds and make their body stronger. Sometimes they drank my blood only if they were heavily wounded. But every month they would drink my blood before they went to the battlefield. A spoon for a person, there are 5 hundreds of them. They cut my neck once because they suffered huge casualties. But my body healed quite fast."

The atmosphere is so heavy right now. All of them had a scary expression on their face. Hong er felt guilty for making the atmosphere heavy. She noticed Ah Tong had come back. She smiled brightly and take the bowl from Ah Tong.

Hong er: " Aiya, My Lord and the others might be hungry right now. I made a ginger soup to warm up your body. Here you go, My Lord. I made your breakfast too, I will bring it to My Lord and Madam later. Drink it before it gets cold."

Hong er smiled as wide as she can to lift off this heavy aura. She is happier after watching them gulp down the soup. ' We will protect Miss even if its cost our life.' And since then, the elite forces vowed to always be loyal to the Miss.

The heavy aura disappeared right after they drank the soup. It is truly delicious aa~. Hong er went back to the kitchen, she saw the chef is running. " AHH, I woke up late. I only have 30 minutes left to make the breakfast. Agghh" he shouted while running. He entered the kitchen and surprised to see a little girl with a black clothed man. " Kid, what are you doing here?"

Hong er: " eeerrr, cook?"

Uncle Mu: " hm? No one is allowed to enter the kitchen without my permission."

Hong er: " I'm sorry."

Uncle Mu: " Its okay, no big deal. Hm? You cook these?"

Hong er: " ehm"

Uncle Mu look at the food on the tray, ' smell delicious, beautiful plating, looks delicious, and now the taste…' Uncle Mu ate the leftover in the pan. ' taste good too, no poison' Uncle Mu nodded his head with his eyes closed. " Kid, this is for the Lord and the Madam right?"

Hong er: " yes it is. I cook it because I thought that Uncle Mu need some rest after what happened yesterday."

Uncle Mu looked at her and nodded his head, ' ehm, attitude is good'. " Thanks kid, I wil cook for you as my gratitude. Now go bring it to the Main Hall." Hong er nodded and take the tray.

" Yo, you there. Who is she? Never saw her before." Uncle Mu asked Ah Tong. " She is our new Miss." Ah Tong leave the shocked Uncle Mu and followed Hong er. ' I-I just ordered our young miss around like a maid. Sh*t!"

" Miss! Miss! Miss!" Uncle Mu chased Hong er. Realized that someone called her, she turned around and saw Uncle Mu panting. Hong er walked to Uncle Mu, " What's wrong?". " Miss, haah haah, I haah haah apologize for haah haah my previous behavior."

Hong er was surprised but quickly smiled, " it's okay, I don't mind it at all. Then I will continue delivering the food. And Uncle Mu." Uncle Mu looked at her. " please don't run like that, it is bad for your heart. What if you faint again?" she smiled and turned around. Uncle Mu just stand there looking at the leaving silhouette, ' kindness perfect'.
