Bab 15: White Rose Bounty
Her fate had already been decided after that witch steps onto their doorsteps.
"Wei'er, live well. Be happy."
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I killed you."
Li Wei looked at her slender and delicate hands. She killed hundreds, innocents and not, including blood-related people. She killed them with her own hands.
"A beast is always a beast, and a monster will always be a monster." She mumbled to herself.
"Hands that are stain with blood will always be stain with blood. There will come a day, that someone will smell the blood that stains this body."
Once again, her hair and eyes transform and Li Wei became the people known as White Rose.
"If I am a beast, then others are just prey."
"Beast they say? So be it."
A terrifying aura exuded from her body. A smile that can terrify a person blooms in her face. She remembered her stepmother said, "You are just a beast that deserves to be cage."
Li Wei laughed like a maniac and said: "Next time, you will be my prey..."
Her blur figure dashed towards the window. Her fast movements cause the roses to sway. Feng An was awoken from the rustling sounds in the front yard garden and saw Li Wei.
There was a smile on her face, a smile that can make a person's blood run cold.
Meanwhile, in a world where magic is still used. A woman with a crown on her head caresses the portrait of a young woman and said softly,
"Oh, little darling, where had you gone to? Mother misses you so much." She said, a heartache expression visible in her face.
"Darling, sweetie, my little girl, come back. Mother is just disappointed in you."
"I can't find you but I can feel that two of the red rose petals are already silver. Do you feel hurt? If you don't come back mother won't treat you."
"Where did you escape? If you keep hiding too much, how long will you survive in this world?"
"Remember what I said to you? For the rest of your life, you will kill endlessly to survive. The only way to keep your life is to kill another."
"Reporting to the Queen, we cannot find the traces of the young princess and the traitors named Feng An and Meimei."
The woman put down the portrait. Her gentle face twisted in anger.
"Don't come back if you don't find them! Search the corners of the world if you have to! If you don't come back without her, you know what I can do with a snap of my hands! I will kill you and your family without a single breath."
"Yes, my Queen. We will find her." The man retreated immediately. When he came out of the room he burst out a big breathed.
'My lady, wherever you are. Don't come back here.'
Inside the room, the woman fixed her gazed in the portrait. She smiled devilishly.
"My Li Wei. I will find you soon. You want to play hide and seek, then I will find you. I'll be the 'it' that will chase you. You have to get ready because I'm getting impatient."
Back in Ying Yue Continent, White Rose entered a Tavern, her black cloak catch the attention of everyone. Their sight landed in her head, but they can't see what she looks like. Since she didn't have that black devil mask then this person is not White Rose.
She sat down in one of the stool and called a servant boy.
"Wine."
"Your order will be served soon." The servant boy said and proceeded to take other orders before going to the kitchen.
She didn't wear her mask, earlier, when she was walking in one of the alleyways she accidentally finds out that there was a poster of her in the bulletin with a bounty of 50,000 gold coins.
Such a huge amount was put above her head. She knows that many cultivators and assassins were eager to find her, so she decided not to show up as White Rose for a while.
She wanted to play for a little bit, and in the last minute, decided to watch at the side.
With her lowly cultivation level right now, and with her strength only, she's afraid that her head will fall off if she encounters any strong people that wanted to capture her.
In her world, her bounty exceeds one million gold coins. Do you want to know who put the bounty in her head? It was her stepmother! Her reason? She wanted to watch a f***ing good show! She wanted to see if she will survive!
And now? In this world, she also has a bounty. It's not even half of her bounty in her world! How cheap!
But anyway, is this really her fate? Where her head comes with a price?
She put down the rolled poster in the wood table and open it. The drawing is on point. Even the details in her mask are beautifully drawn.
"Oh, you're searching for White Rose too?" One of the customers asked when he saw her with the White Rose poster.
Li Wei nodded.
"Recently, that guy hasn't shown up! After her last showered of petals, there was no news of her!"
"Maybe, she had already been killed?" She asked the guy who's beside her table. There were a total of four men with him.
"Nope! If she is then her head should have been hung up in the town square to show that she's dead!" Another man chimes in.
Li Wei subconsciously takes a big gulp. If she gets killed, her head would be hanging up in the town square? For what? For everyone to see? Too cruel! Too cruel! Why can't you just give me a peaceful death?! Why do you have to hang up my head?!
"Maybe she didn't show up because she saw her poster?" The other one said.
'Thumbs up! You got it right!'
"Impossible! She's really skilled! Why would she get scared if her head has a bounty on it? I think she can even kill a hundred with one fell swoop!"
'Agree. Agree.'
"I actually want to see who's stronger between the number 1 genius of Ying Yue continent and her. If I have to vote, I will vote to the number 1 genius!"
"I'll place my bet to White Rose!"
Li Wei drinks her wine silently. Number 1 genius? Who is that?
"You? Where do you want to place your bet?" The five noisy men looked at her. Waiting for her answer.
"I'll place my bet to White Rose." She answered and stands up. Of course, she'll choose herself! Love yourself more, they say.
"Where are you going? You're done drinking?" They asked. If only they knew that she is White Rose what would be their reaction?
"Yes. Gotta hunt some Rose." She said coolly and stab a small knife in the poster.
"Go on, go on. If you catch her, buy us some drinks!" They said excitedly at her.
"Sure." She answered with a smirk. Right now she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry in this situation!
