Chapter 77 - 77. Waking Up I

Third person POV

After Hong er filled a quarter of her Qi, she stood up and changed her eye color to black again. She turned around to thank Ah Tong and Ah Xi for transferring their Qi to her. She reassured them that she was fine and no need to worry about her.

Ah Tong: " Young Miss, won't the people from the slum notice?"

Hong er: " I had made them unconscious when I released my light magic so no need to worry."

Ah Xi: " But what if there was a high skilled mage in the slum?"

Hong er: " Then we will face the problem ahead. Sometimes we can't fully avoid trouble no matter how strong we are."

Ah Xi : " *sigh, but Young Miss, please don't be that careless anymore in the future. Qi deficiency could affect your health."

Hong er: " Uhm, I will be more careful."

They could only sigh in defeat and hide again to protect her from the dark. Hong er dusted off the dirt on her skirt and quickly left the slum before they woke up. Hong er arrived at the inn at 5 AM, the teenage boy was worried about her as she had gone for a long time. For a girl to roam alone in a quiet road was dangerous, he wanted to look for her but he couldn't leave his job or else he would get fired. He worriedly asked Hong er.

The teenage boy: " Young Miss, are you okay?"

Hong er: " Uhm, I'm fine. Why are you asking?"

Hong er jokingly asked him.

The teenage boy: " I forgot to tell you that there is a group of ruffians called Skull Gang. They always hurt and kill people in this town if the citizens didn't give them money. And the worst thing is the mayor of this town ignored the problem even though the citizens had complained about this for many times. Oh, I apologize that I was talking too much."

Hong er: " No no, it is fine. It is better for me to know more about this city."

The teenage boy: " Then if you don't mind me asking this."

Hong er: " Yes?"

The teenage boy: " You didn't buy the bun?"

Hong er: " Aiya, the old man's bun had been sold out. What a pity~"

The teenage boy: " A-ah…"

The teenage boy: ' Who would buy a whole amount of buns in the middle of night?'

Hong er: " Then, I will go back to my room."

The teenage boy: " Ah, yes yes."

Hong er went upstairs and saw Qiyi and Qier were standing in front of Weisheng's room. Qiyi and Qier noticed Hong er had came back, they silently greeted Hong er. They were worried about Hong er because she hadn't come back for an hour since she went to buy breakfast for them. They were prepared to go wake Meiyun and Huayun up, but Hong er came back before they could go wake them up.

They saw that she didn't bring anything back in her hand. Hong er noticed their thought so she used hand signals to explain it to them. She didn't want Weisheng to hear this as she didn't want him to worry about her.

Hong er:

They could picture what happened just by her short explanation, they nodded their head in unison. Hong er excused herself to her room, she took a bath and changed her dirty clothes. She changed into dark blue clothes to lessen the suspicion of the people that saw her white clothes. Then she sat on her bed and meditated for another hour to refill her Qi.

She slowly opened her eyes after 1 hour, Meiyun and Huayun had woken up as they brought Hong er a glass of water. Hong er drank the water and went to Weisheng's room, she asked Qiyi and Qier.

Hong er: " Sheng ge hasn't woke up yet?"

Qiyi: " Unfortunately, no, Young Miss. Our master isn't a morning person so it needs a lot of effort for him to fully awake."

Qier: " Then let me wake him up for you."

Hong er: " Ah, no need to disturb his sleep."

Qier: " It's fine, Young Miss. Master will gladly wake up if Young Miss asked him to."

Hong er: " Ah~ Then please do."

Qier nodded, he knocked on the door and gently called Weisheng.

Qier: " Master. *knock knock knock. Master, it is time to wake up. *knock knock knock."

Weisheng grunted with his low and husky morning voice.

Qier: " Young Miss, master had woke up. But he is still dazed and sleepy."

Hong er: " Oh~ It's fine."

Qiyi nudged Qier's arm, Qiyi sent an eye signal to Qier while Hong er confusedly look at them. She didn't suspect anything as she trusted the people that Weisheng trusted. Qier got what Qiyi eye signal means, he nodded his head and happily spoke to Hong er.

Qier: " Young Miss, how about you wake master fully as sometimes he would fall back asleep again."

Hong er: " Okay."

Qier: " But Young Miss need to remember to call his name and say your name no matter what."

Hong er: " O-okay."

Qier opened the door and let Hong er in, after Hong er stepped inside the room, Qier slowly closed the door behind her. She went to Weisheng's bed and saw him sleeping diagonally, his feet peek out from the blanket. The blanket could only cover half of his body, Hong er chuckled when she saw his way of sleeping.

Hong er: ' Hehehe, even the perfect Sheng ge has weaknesses too.'

But when she took a step towards Weisheng's bed, a shadow suddenly attacked her from behind. Hong er instantly summoned her sword to block the attack. Then she turned around to check on Weisheng, she was shocked to see the shadow was connected to Weisheng's body.
