QingâEr blinked her large eyes at Liu Rushuang, as astonishment only sank in when she was placed back down on earth.
She hurriedly hugged onto Liu Rushuangâs arm tightly. âYoung Miss, you recovered so quickly?â She cried fearfully.
She didnât believe that man could actually be more useful than the ice bed.
Liu Rushuang winced her elegant brows and poked QingâErâs forehead. âWhat? You want me to suffer a little longer?â She asked with an eerie voice.
QingâEr suddenly hugged Liu Rushuang and replied with a little sob in her voice. âWahhh wahhh... Young Miss, why would I ever? QingâEr hopes that you never have to suffer!â
Liu Rushuang hugged QingâErâs body that trembled non-stop. âI was wrong to make you worry,â she said with a smile.
QingâEr looked at Liu Rushuang with red eyes and pouted in a bad mood. âYoung Miss, youâre still able to wear a smile!â
Liu Rushuang smiled squintingly, as she tightly held onto QingâErâs hand. âQingâEr, thank you for worrying about me. Iâm really happy,â she said in a lucid voice.
âY...Young Miss, I treat you like my only relative in the whole world. If I donât worry about you, then who should I worry about?â
âHaha...â Liu Rushuang giggled candidly. She held QingâErâs hand and walked straight ahead, smiling as she said, âQingâEr, if I were a man, Iâd definitely marry you.â
QingâEr smiled sweetly and cutely replied, âYoung Miss, Iâd marry you if you asked.â
Liu Rushuang burst out laughing âAlright! Tonight, Iâll let you serve me!â She cried in joy.
QingâErâs tense heart seemed to naturally relax. âYoung Miss, even if you didnât say tonight, Iâd want to lie beside you anyway,â she smiled.
Liu Rushuang smiled warmly in silence.
She entered the Blood Feast training grounds at the age of five and went through all kinds of brutal trials.
At ten years of age, she was finally sent out on a mission.
On her way back to the headquarters after her first successful mission, she saved QingâEr who was being chased after and beaten.
Back then, QingâEr was only eight years old and she looked all dirty.
However, she had the same unyielding look in her eye.
She couldnât resist but save QingâEr.
She survived with QingâEr, relying on the remunerations she received from one completed mission after another.
Without QingâEr, her life would be so lonely.
...
QingâEr looked at Liu Rushuang with an expression that said she was reminiscing, and couldnât help but think back to her own past.
Her mother was a hard working, nice person. Not a single person in the village spoke ill of her.
However, her father loved to gamble. He lost all their savings from farming.
Her mother couldnât stand those hopeless days so one day, she finally got into a big argument with her father.
In the heat of the moment, her father killed her mother and run away.
At eight years old, she saw her own mother in a pool of blood and learned just how frightening death was.
With the help of the people in the village, her mother was buried in a simple grave.
Because her father left behind his debt, she didnât dare stay in the village.
Overnight, she ran away. On the road, she would eat wild animals whenever she was hungry.
Eventually, she reached a town. She hadnât eaten well for many days and was starving.
She snuck into a restaurant and ate the leftovers that customers were going to wrap up and leave with.
However, a servant boy found out and just as she was about to walk out of the door, he grabbed her frail body.
Then, several people came out to punch and kick her.
She tried her hardest to fight back and run away just to survive.
Her mother told her that she would always encounter good things if she lived on, and so she believed her motherâs words.
Just then, the Young Miss appeared and saved her.
She really did come across something good!
From then on, she never had to starve again.
QingâEr stared at Liu Rushuang with eyes full of gratitude and loyalty.
Liu Rushuang smiled back. Sheâs looked at QingâEr as her own biologically little sister a long time ago!
...
Once they reached somewhere with people, Liu Rushuang and QingâEr used their qinggong to fly.
They were just about to reach the Ministerâs mansion when Liu Rushuang suddenly squinted coldly. She pulled out a complexion binding pill from her inner pocket and swallowed it.
That place will be destroyed sooner or later!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
