Bab 75: Two More Additions

Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

eng Jiu turned her head back, somewhat shocked as she looked at the young girl who had her face smeared black and she asked the young girl with uncertainty in her voice: "What did you just say?"

The young girl bit down on her lip as her eyes stared determinedly at the figure in red and said: "I can warm your bed for you."

When Feng Jiu heard those words very clearly this time, she fought to suppress the strong urge within to laugh out loudly and she said teasingly instead: "I would very much prefer beauties. A black faced little lass like you offering to warm my bed and I have to accept?"

When the girl dressed in all black heard Feng Jiu's words, she quickly raised up her sleeve and wiped at her face, revealing her original countenance below.

"I am not ugly." She looked up at Feng Jiu to say.

That's right, the young girl was not only not ugly, she actually possessed highly exquisite features. That was the face of a natural beauty and her intricately fine features combined with her small palm sized face was supposed to exude the allure of an highly enchanting beauty.

However, there was not a tinge of the coy bashful demeanor of a young girl on her, but instead, she exhibited a icy cold and distant front. But that cold front of hers still somewhat exude a certain kind of frosty charm around her.

Besides having smeared her countenance black and dirty, she had also altered the way her brows and eyes looked as well to make herself look less outstanding.

Without having to even look, Feng Jiu guessed that her flat board chest must have been tightly bound with thick cloth as well.

The girl was at least smart enough to hide her outstanding looks, or they might very well have brought her quite a lot of trouble.

Feng Jiu took wide strides to walk back, coming close to the black robed girl. Feng Jiu's gaze was teasing as she asked: "You would really warm my bed?"

"As long as you save my brother, my life is yours to own, what's more this shell of a body."

The girl put up an apathetic front, seemingly highly indifferent. But her body had tensed up due to Feng Jiu's close proximity and her hands that were gripped so tightly told Feng Jiu that the young girl wasn't as indifferent as she was trying to portray herself to be.

Anyway, which girl would not mind warming just any stranger's bed like this? Or even handing over their own life so casually?

Feng Jiu stared at the young girl for a while and the ends of her lips curled up before she said: "Lead the way then!"

"Yes."

The young girl lowered her eyes as she acknowledged, and she got up to lead the way to the place where she lived.

-About one hour later-

Feng Jiu looked at the bare and decrepit house that looked like the slightest gust of wind would blow it over before her eyes. She saw the black robed girl going into the house hastily immediately after opening the door and she followed the girl in right behind her. Once inside, she immediately saw a youth lying upon a sparse wooden board bed.

The robed girl rinsed a cloth with water and wiped the youth's forehead and palms before turning to look at Feng Jiu to say: "This is my younger brother. After taking medicine two days ago, he vomited out blood and suddenly fell unconscious."

Feng Jiu stepped forward and saw that the boy was so thin his chin had grown pointed, his face was pale and completely drained of colour. With just that one look, she reached her hand out and placed her fingers upon the boy's wrist to take his pulse.

Retrieving her hand after a while, she ordered: "Undo his shirt." As she spoke, Feng Jiu pulled out her silver needles.

The black robed girl obeyed and undid her brother's shirt. She watched on as Feng Jiu had seemingly stuck those silver needles carelessly into several acupoints on her brother's body. Her heart leapt up into her throat as she strongly resisted the urge within her to go stop Feng Jiu, fixing her gaze upon her brother's face instead, deeply fearful of any repercussions that might suddenly manifest.

After a rather long while, Feng Jiu retracted the needles and she stood up. "Carry him on your back and come with me." Immediately after saying that, Feng Jiu turned and walked outside.

The black robed girl saw that Feng Jiu was already moving and she hastened to drag her brother onto her back, rushing up to follow closely behind Feng Jiu.

When Feng Jiu got back to the courtyard house, she saw Guan Xi Lin carrying a soft mattress to put into the horse carriage. When he saw Feng Jiu return, he called out jovially: "Little Jiu, what so you think of this carriage? I had specially chosen the biggest one so that you can lie down and sleep along the journey if you need to rest. In this way, it will be more comfortable for you."

When his eyes caught sight of the two other people behind Feng Jiu, Guan Xi Lin's face twisted up in puzzlement as he asked: "What are they here for?"

Feng Jiu smiled slyly and said: "Bed warmer."

Bab 76: The Xu Family’s Rage

Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Guan Xi Lin stared blankly a moment upon hearing that and he found it a little strange. Why had she suddenly brought back two people like this?

"Get on!" Feng Jiu gestured for the young girl to carry her brother onto the carriage.

"Yes." She acknowledged and climbed into the horse carriage.

Guan Xi Lin pulled Feng Jiu to the side and suppressed his voice to ask softly: "Little Jiu, you want to bring those two people to leave together with us? The youth doesn't look very healthy to me! Will that really be fine? Will anything suddenly happen midway?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Let's go!" As she said that, she noticed that there wasn't a coachman and she asked: "Big Brother, don't tell me you intend to drive it yourself?"

"Yup, I can do it. Rest assured, even with just one arm." He grinned widely and ushered her onto the horse carriage quickly.

Hearing him say that, she did not persist in asking any further, and quickly climbed into the carriage.

Guan Xi Lin climbed aboard himself after all of them had seated themselves within and drove the horse carriage towards the outside of the town's gates, setting forth on his return journey to the Cloudy Moon City…..

-On the other side, Cloudy Moon City, Xu Family-

'Bam!'

On the Master's seat, a middle aged man slammed his palm to crash heavily upon the tabletop, suddenly standing up in utter disbelief. He stared angrily at the guard kneeling below him, his voice shocked and chilling.

"What? What did you say? Tell it all to me once more!"

The conqueror's aura and his powerful presence made the face of the guard kneeling below turn deathly pale, cold sweat to break out from his body, and his heart to fill with terror, but at the same time, he had no other choice but to repeat himself again.

"Re….. reporting to Mas….. Master. The Rock Forest Town's Head sent people here to inform us that they discovered three sets of bo….. bodies who were wa….. warriors, and they sus….. suspect that they are from our Xu….. Xu Family.

'Bam!'

The middle aged man fell back into his chair dispirited as he said in disbelief: "How is that possible? How is that even possible? With the Senior Elder's and the Four Elder's powers, how could it be possible that there is anyone in a place like the tiny Rock Forest Town who is capable of killing them?"

The guard kneeling on the ground did not dare to reply and he just remained there trembling in fear.

"Who? Who was it that killed them?" His suddenly bloodthirsty gaze stared at the guard below. "The two guards who accompanied them? Did they come back?"

The kneeling guard answered in a trembling voice and said: "It….. It is not known who killed them. And the two accompanying guards were afraid that they would be punished and has run away."

The Senior Elder, the Fourth Elder and the Second Master had all been killed. If the two of them had come back, the Master's rage was not something that would be pleasant to face, hence, those two people had naturally take the opportunity that they were outside and fled far away.

"Good! Very good!"

His fists clenched up tightly, his insidious voice chilling and bloodthirsty as he said: "Look into it! Investigate into it deeply!"

[His Xu Family was just a mid level family in the Cloudy Moon City. Although their might could not be compared to the Eight Big Families and the Four Big Mights, but they had still managed to hold significant repute in this place. And now, in the short span of less than one month's time, his son had been killed, his brother had been killed, and even the Senior Elder and the Fourth Elder had also been killed!]

[If he doesn't find out who the culprit is, how is he going to be able to swallow this!]

Cloudy Moon City, in a certain courtyard

Dressed in an all black robe, with highly outstanding countenance, Leng Shuang looked on at the figure in the courtyard dressed in her plain white inner clothes, executing a soft and feeble style of martial arts, her gaze looking highly complicated.

Her brother had awoken the other day and that very night, she had kept her promise where she had stripped herself bare and laid upon Feng Jiu's bed. At this moment, she could still remember when Feng Jiu had lifted the blanket and saw her stark naked body, the startled expression of Feng Jiu and the look she gave, helplessly torn between conflicting urges whether to laugh or to cry.

And it was through that time, that Leng Shuang found out that Feng Jiu was female.

But if Feng Jiu did not need her to warm her bed, and wasn't attracted to her beauty, then why did Feng Jiu agree to help her?

But, regardless of the reason, since she handed her life over to Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu would be her Mistress. That was a point, that would not change.

"Leng Shuang, has my Big Brother returned yet?"
