Chapter 75 - 75. The Mysterious White Clothed Woman I

75

Third person POV

Night at inn*

Weisheng stared at the ceiling while lying on his bed. He was afraid that after the time they spent together, it would be hard for Hong er and him to separate, especially Hong er. He was worried that the impact towards Hong er would be too big and it would affect her mental and personality.

Then he turned his head and stared at the wall that separated their room. He had to follow the plan so he could marry Hong er and protect her by his side. But the plan would be very painful for Hong er, he hoped to make a few good memories between them for these 2 weeks. Weisheng sighed and closed his eyes to sleep.

Morning*

Hong er woke up and quickly dressed up as she was excited to explore the city. After she was done with dressing up, she went out of her room and looked at Weisheng's room. She saw Qiyi and Qier stood in front of the door guarding the room. Meiyun and Huayun was resting in Hong er's room as they had guarded Hong er and Weisheng's room in the midnight.

Qiyi and Qier rested when Meiyun and Huayun was guarding the room, at 2 AM, they changed shift for guarding their master. Qiyi and Qier knew that Hong er had a habit wake up early, but they didn't know that she would wake up this early even though there was no morning practice or anything else. They greeted her in a low voice as their master was still asleep.

Since Weisheng's power was darkness, he is a night owl and not a morning person but because of the usual morning practice, he had forced himself to wake up and practice. If Weisheng didn't have morning practice, he would wake up at 8 AM or 9 AM but that rarely happens too as he had to be a role model to his people so he had to wake up early and does his job as an emperor. That's why his eyes are always dark and his expression is really bad everyday especially in the morning.

Hong er asked them using hand signal.

Hong er:

Qiyi & Qier:

Hong er:

Qiyi:

Hong er:

Qier:

Hong er: ( Ah Tong and Ah Xi)

Qiyi:

Hong er:

Hong er went to the inn with Ah Tong and Ah Xi following her in the dark. At first Xu Tingfeng insisted on giving Hong er 10 shadow guards but after Hong er got stronger and stronger, plus she had Meiyun and Huayun beside her, Hong er asked Xu Tingfeng to just give her Ah Tong and Ah Xi. The reason for her to choose Ah Tong and Ah Xi among 10 shadow guards was because they were the strongest in the group and they were closer to Hong er than the others.

Hong er saw a teenage boy that sat behind the counter, the teenage boy's age was around 18 or 19 years old. Hong er went to the counter and knocked on the counter to call the teenage boy. The teenage boy immediately stood up and greeted Hong er.

Teenage boy: " What can I help you, Miss?"

Hong er: " Brother, is breakfast done?"

The teenage boy was surprised by Hong er's gentle and soft voice, but he couldn't see her face as she covered her face with two layer of veil. His heart became calmer as he heard her gentle voice early in the morning, he apologetically spoke.

Teenage boy: " I apologize Miss, but the breakfast will be served at 6 AM."

Hong er: " Ohh~, it is fine. Then could you please tell me a food stall or restaurant that had opened?"

The teenage boy looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall and think for a while.

Teenage boy: " 4 AM, hhmm, ah! If go straight from the inn and turn right at the corner, there is an old man selling buns there. It is a small food stall and people rarely buy his buns but I can guarantee Miss that it is delicious."

Hong er: " Ohh~ Thank you brother."

Teenage boy: " The pleasure is mine."

Hong er left the inn and followed the direction that the teenage boy told her. the teenage boy stared at her back dazedly.

Teenage boy: ' Wasei, I never met someone with such a calming voice before. Is she single?'

Hong er walked in the middle of the quiet road, the road was bright despite the still dark sky. Hong er turned right and saw a small food stall with steam came out from a big bamboo steamer plate. Only a lantern light up the small stall, the old man sat behind the stall, patiently waiting for customer in the quiet road.

Hong er walked towards the food stall and suddenly a group of bulky man came from the other side and surrounded the food stall. A bulky man lifted up the old man by the collar, the old man struggled from his grip then the bulky man threw him to the ground and kicked the old man on the stomach. The old man puked out blood and his face got really pale.

The people that lived around there were peeking from their window, they were trembling in fear and pitied the old man for being the victim of the ruffians. They wanted to help the old man but they couldn't as they were just normal citizens that only have weak magic compared to the ruffians.

The other member of the group was searching something around the stall and put the buns inside of their bags. The bulky man that kicked the old man was shouting at him.

Bulky man: " Stinky old man! Where is your money?!"

Old man: " I-I don't have any money."

Bulky man: " Bullsh*t! Then why are you selling things here?! Kids! Destroy everything!"

Hong er: " Wait."

Hong er appeared under the building's shade to hide herself. They were surprised by the sudden voice, they turned around and saw a girl with white veil. They couldn't see her face at all as she was standing across the street from them and under the building's shade.

Bulky man: " Who the f*ck are you?!"

Hong er: " That should be my question. Who are you?"

The bulky man noticed that it was a woman's voice, his face immediately changed into lecherous expression. He slowly walked towards Hong er while leering at her. Ah Tong and Ah Xi who were hiding gripped their sword in anger.

Ah Tong & Ah Xi: ' I will kill this guy!'

Bulky man: " Aiyo~ Little lady, what are you doing at dark place like here? Want to accompany these big brothers for a round?

Old man: " Yo-young lady, run."

The bulky man whipped his head towards the old man and angrily shouted.

Bulky man: " Shut the f*ck up you stinky old man! Or I will kill you!"

The bulky man slowly turned his head towards Hong er again.

Bulky man: " Then what do you think?"

Hong er: " Do you have money?"

Bulky man: " Ahahaha, of course I have, I will pay you handsomely if you serve us real good."

Hong er: " Then how rich are you?"

Bulky man: " We are the Skull Gang, the leader of this town, everyone bow before me. I'm the richest man in this town. So don't be afraid that I won't pay you."

Hong er: " Hoo~ So you are that famous Skull Gang?"

The bulky man opened her veil hat and saw a pair of beautiful eyes, her eyes were lovely and seducing. Then he excitedly lifted up her face veil but he immediately shivered after he saw Hong er's cold smile.

The other members of the Skull Gang was impatient as their boss was taking too long to talk with Hong er. Then they saw his head slowly slide off his neck and fell to the ground. Hong er calmly tidied her veils back to its places. The head rolled to their feet, their face were as pale as sheet, they slowly looked up to Hong er and saw a girl in white holding a sword covered in blood.

Hong er: " Then who's next?"
