Chapter 76 - 76. The Mysterious White Clothed Woman II

76

Third person POV

The people who were watching them were shocked to see a head rolled on the ground. And when they wanted to look at the person who chopped off his head, a gust of wind and fog suddenly blew towards them. They couldn't see anything as their vision were covered by the fog.

The other members of the Skull Gang were bewildered by the sudden thick fog, they swung around their sword to disperse the fog and shouted each other's name. But the street became more and more silent as the members that were shouting names became lesser and lesser. After 10 seconds the street became dead silent but the fog was only getting thicker.

Hong er flicked her sword and the blood that covered her sword disappeared. She unsummoned her sword and coldly looked at the bodies that were lying lifelessly in front of her. Hong er slowly walked towards the old man and looked at his destroyed stall. Hong er picked up the still closed big bamboo steamer plate from the ground and opened the lid, there were a few buns left in the bamboo steamer plate. Hong er took all of the buns and put it in a box, then she wrapped the box with a white cloth.

Hong er took the bag where they put the buns, then she looked at the buns that were scattered on the ground. She picked up the buns one by one and patted off the dust from the buns. After the dust was cleared, she put it into the bag. She gave hand signals to Ah Tong and Ah Xi that were standing behind her without turning around.

Hong er:

They cupped their fist and bowed then disappeared in to the fog. Hong er glanced at the old man that was weakly lying on the ground, she squatted beside the old man and softly touched his shoulder. The old man flinched, he was shaking vigorously and closed his eyes tightly.

Old man: " I-I really have nothing. P-please don't kill me."

Hong er: " Uncle, everything is fine. No need to be afraid."

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white veiled Hong er. He couldn't see her face clearly as his head was dizzy and because of the thick fog.

Old man: " Y-young lady, r-run, they will kill you if you stay here."

Hong er: " It is fine, they are gone."

Old man: " They are gone?"

The old man looked at Hong er in disbelief.

Hong er: " Yes. And uncle, I want to buy all of the buns. Here is the money. Then, farewell."

Hong er put a few chunks of unknown things on his palm and left the old man. Before she walked off, she glanced at the destroyed old food stall. She moved her fingers and left the quiet road. The thick fog slowly dispersed after Hong er left.

After the old man felt his head was fine, he sat up and was surprised to feel nothing wrong with his old body. He moved his body around and found out his sprained waist had healed too. He couldn't feel any of his old sickness in his body then he realized there were something hard in his hand. Then he opened his palm and saw a few chunks of pure gold in his dirty wrinkly hand.

For a poor old man like him, it was rare for him to see such pure gold let alone touch it. These few chunks of gold could feed his whole family for a lifetime. He slowly lifted up his head to see his old food stall which became a new and high quality wooden food stall. He whipped his head towards the direction where Hong er left, but there was no one.

Tears welled up in his eyes, he kowtowed towards the direction where Hong er left. His tears flew down from his eyes as he kowtowed for 1 hour. Since the fog had dispersed, the people peeked again and saw the old man was kowtowing to no one. Then they looked at the old man again and realized that the old food stall had changed into a newer and prettier food stall.

Old man: ' Goddess of Light had blessed me with her kindness.'

After Hong er left the old man, Ah Tong and Ah Xi appeared behind her and reported.

Ah Tong: " Young Miss, we had cleaned up everything. Is there any order?"

Hong er: " Uhm, good. We will go to the slum."

Ah Tong & Ah Xi: " Yes, Young Miss."

The three of them went to the slum and quite surprised by how bad the condition was. As for Xi An, Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing had tried their best to decrease the slum over the year and succeed. Hong er faced Ah Tong and Ah Xi, the two of them knew what they were going to do. Ah Tong and Ah Xi nodded, Hong er looked around the slum and saw many malnourished children.

She tore each of the buns into 2 halves and gave it to Ah Tong and Ah Xi, the two of them took the bag and disappeared. Hong er stood in a dark alleyway, she knelt and touched the ground to activate her inner sight. She saw many of them were on the brink of death as their Qi were very weak, she frowned and erased her eye color spell.

Her eyes changed back to golden, she made sure there was no one around her then she made a magic barrier so no one couldn't detect her magic. After she made a magic barrier, she took a deep breath and breathed out. She slowly opened her eyes, a bright white light shone out from her eyes. She looked up to the sky and released her magic.

After 15 second of using a high leveled magic, Hong er dropped down to the ground and tiredly panting. Her inner sight was deactivated as she had used three quarters of her Qi to heal more than 50 people from the brink of death. She took a deep breath again and activated her inner sight, she looked around and found them went back to their normal state.

She used her mind to use water magic, water slowly built up above her and flowed like a string of water to their mouth. Hong er silently fed them water that she had put some light magic in it. They unconsciously gulped down the water that flowed down to their throat.

After she was done, she removed the barrier and sat on the dirty ground. She closed her eyes to refill her Qi by absorbing the wind and earth's Qi. Ah Tong and Ah Xi appeared behind her and immediately transferred some of their Qi to Hong er's body. While they were giving the buns to the beggars, they noticed Hong er's magic as they were inside Hong er's barrier.

They quicken their pace and quickly went back to Hong er's location to find her in Qi deficiency condition. They understood Hong er's kindness towards them but as her bodyguards who had watched her from little till now, they were immensely worried about her health because she always pushes over her limit for other people. But they could only sigh.
