Chapter 8: Preparing to Leave the Forest Again
"Start packing up, we are going to leave the wilderness in two days." After Si Ling had finished his meal, he nonchalantly threw out this single sentence. At his words, Su Shuilian widened her eyes and looked at him for a long time in shock. After swallowing the food in her mouth and finding her voice, she slowly asked, "You… you are not a mute?" Si Ling raised his brows in disagreement, "Who said that I was a mute?" If not for his frost covered eyes and voice, Su Shuilian would have thought he was ridiculing her. Oh! Su Shuiliang let out a bitter laugh, dropping her shoulders, covering her face with her hands, she exclaimed in a muffled voice: "Then why didn’t you say so earlier? Watching me act like that must have been very entertaining, huh?” Si Ling internally sighed. He reached out his hand about to appease her but stopped mid-air. What kind of relationship does he have with her? Was it really worth it to do this? He and her, a man and a woman living together in a secluded forest for a month and a half. That was already not appropriate. He was indifferent, orphaned at a young age, he wandered to many places. And now that he is no longer part of Feng Yao, he also was freed from the constraints of that organization; his only last restraint was gone. But she was different. Watching her actions, he knew that she was raised from a large noble family. Although they are living together in the forest, this was only temporary. Once they make it out of the woods, they will surely part. And when they separate, it is unlikely that they will cross paths again. Taking back his hand, Si Ling closed his eyes and got up to walked towards the exit of the cave. Su Shuilian only felt ashamed at herself for mistaking him for a mute. And her misconception had carried on for a month and a half... that was just great. It was good that he was not angry at her. If someone had done the same to her, she would have been furious. After self-contemplating, Su Shuilian put her hands down and looked up. She was ready to apologize to him, but he was no longer there. She was alone with the two wolf cubs devouring the cooked python meat. --- During these past two days, Su Shuilian had felt something was off. Yes, after that day’s single phrase, the man no longer spoke again. Had he misunderstood her reaction? Would he rather be mute than to converse with her? While allowing herself to run wild in her imagination, Su Shuilian continued to pack up; after leaving, she’ll never return, right? The truth was, other than some minor inconveniences, living in this forest was really not that bad. Especially since after the man had recovered, all the manual labor were now his chores. With that, Su Shulian was more at ease and also was given more leisure time. But, even with the endless amounts of wild animals, wild fruits and other foods, with their measly set of light attire, they would not last during winter season. Thinking so, Su Shuilian’s packing speed noticeably increased. All kinds of dried meat, dried mushroom, and wild fruit were stuffed into a baggage. When her eyes swept to the gourd on the ground, Su Shuilian was suddenly reminded of the rest of the green liquid. She hurriedly took large steps towards the inner part of the cave. Sure enough, there were still some of the liquid remaining. Since this liquid was so easy to use, why not take it all? Although the remaining was not used to put into the soup that she had made for the man, why not add some water to it and put it in the gourd to take away? Although there was only a small amount left, if injured, this can really help ah. "What are you doing?" As Su Shuilian was happily immersed in her thoughts, a sudden low voice cut in and surprised her. Losing her balance, Su Shuilian slipped and fell backwards. Oh no! Su Shuilian closed her eyes in fear of the incoming pain. Speak of the devil ah, she was just thinking about future injuries, and now she was going to be injured…. Huh? How come it’s so soft? And warm too... this is…. "Ah!" Su Shuilian’s mind made a quick turn. She quickly jumped out of Si Ling’s arms. With her face flushed red, Su Shuilian looked down and shyly said: "Thank you.” Si Ling took back his hands awkwardly, he had reacted without thinking when he had moved to catch her fall. Only when her soft and fragrant body had fell onto his chest did he realise how repressed he was. (TL: perv...) "What are you doing. Don’t you know how to be careful?" He strongly pressed down his indescribable loss, and with a low tone, he spoke in his previous cold, indifferent tone. "I ... ..." Su Shuilian pouted, but did not know how to explain herself. She could not refute that it was his fault for interrupting her thoughts and thus surprised her into losing her balance when stepping backwards. After all, he did not carry ill intentions. "Oh yeah, come, see this..." When Su Shuilian realised she had yet to pack the liquid, she tugged on Si Ling’s clothes and indicated him to walk closer towards the tiny ‘pool’ under the stalactite. Si Ling raised his brow, but wordlessly stepped forward. This is!? His eyes flashed was a complex light. Sticking his pinky into the small body of water, he took a taste. Indeed, it really was it. Was this what the girl had used to save him from the brink of death? Si Ling turned around and locked gazes with the smirking little woman behind him. This fool, to use this rarely found ‘Heart of Jade Fairy Essence’ on him… Did she not know after a month of continuous use of this essence can extend a person’s life? In addition, become immune to all diseases and poisons? "What did you say? You used two spoonfuls on me!?" When Si Ling heard Su Shuilian’s simple, yet not simple explanation, he had felt an upsurge of emotions. Thousands of thoughts left to only one: This fool! "A spoonful for oral application, the other for external application." Su Shuilain added. Although she found it is strange why he suddenly now would be interested in how he recovered. "Have you tried this yourself?" Si Ling asked, as he poured a bit of water to the liquid and scooped it into the gourd. "Yes, in the beginning I did not know what it was. However when I tasted a little bit and found that it help with resisting hunger. Later, when I dropped it bit on my scarred hand, it completed healed." Su Shuilian happily smiled as she replied. Thinking back to the past when she just got here, she had stared dazed at the dead tiger for such a long time. Looking at herself now, although she would occasionally daze, she was still much better than before. When Si Ling heard her say "scarred hands," he could not help but frown. Yes, she was a weak woman, it must have been difficult for her to have survived alone in the wilderness. For her, to be able to have not suffered in depression and was even living so carefreely... Looking at the delicately carved spoon, Si Ling thought to himself. --- "All ready." Su Shuilian said as she finished tying the knot on her bag. When she finished covering the basket full of fruit, Su Shuilian raised her head and smiled at Si Ling. Si Ling took her bag and her basket, and also her tiger fur. Su Shuilian called over the two wolf puppies. They were ready to set off. "Uh...What is your name? I am Su Shuilian." Su Shuilian shyly made her introduction. Although the two had been living together, they had yet to get each other’s name. Although it was ok like this in the woods, as it was only the two of them, but once they get out of the forest… It would be embarrassing to not know what to call each other. Si Ling glanced down as Su Shuilian looked down in embarrassment. When he saw her exposed clean white nape, he quickly averted his gaze. "Lin Si Yao." Si Ling coldly said. Si Ling, that name was associated with Feng Yao, including his identity and status. After cutting his ties with the organization, he shall also rid himself of his past name. Su Shuilian nodded, and secretly rejoiced that she did not abruptly call him the name that she vaguely heard from that time. "Lin… Si Yao, after we get out of this forest, do you know how far it is to the nearest town?" As Su Shuilian overcame her embarrassment in call his name, she asked the question that had been long circling her mind. Looking down at her own body’s unusual attire, she could not wait to buy a new set of clothing. Although she had called him by his made-up name, his heart still felt a throb. Steadying his mind, thinking back, he had stayed overnight at a nearby locations. Think it was called Fan Lou City, nodding he said: "About half a day." "So close?" Su Shuilian shouted in surprise. Pouting, she muttered: "If I knew that, then I would have left much sooner." Looking at all the baggage Su Shuilian was carrying, Lin Si could not help but sigh. Lin Si Yao naturally had heard her whisper. If it was him using qigong, then it would only take half a day, but at her pace, and with the need to stop once every so while, it would have to take a long time. With that thought, he blurted out: "According to your speed, it would take three days. Hearing this Su Shuilian looked up in shooked, quickly exclaimed: "What?" What he meant was that at his pace, it would take half a day, but she would have to take three? "Or I can take you." Without a second thought, Lin Si Yao quickly blurted out. Su Shuilian looked puzzledly at him. What did he mean? Was he not already leading the way already? Lin Si Yao tied the baggage onto his back, gave the fruit basket to Xiao Chun, and tied the tiger fur to Xiao Xue. With a ‘let’s go’, he picked up Shuilian (in a princess carry), jumped and started to quickly make his way out of the forest. Surprised at his sudden movement, Su Shuilian subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck. After she found with a single jump, Lin Si Yao had already moved ten meters away from their original location, her original tension and shyness changed to joy and respect. So this as the legendary qigong ah! Lin Si Yao feared that she would be afraid and cry, wanting to come down. After all, this type of position from an outsider's point of view, should be only done by husband and wife. Husband and wife? The sudden words floated upon Lin Si Yao’s mind, but he quickly rejected this possibility. She was not a person he could pursue. Chapter 7: You Are Not a Mute
“Xiao Chún, Xiao Xue. It’s time to eat!” Su Shuilian called out to the playing wolf pups. Having finished brewing the fish soup, she poured it to two stone bowls. One bowl was placed at the usual corner for the wolves, while the other was for the man resting on the tiger fur. It seems that she had to find another suitable stone to use as another bowl… She’ll also need another spoon and another pair of chopsticks Taking out her pair of chopsticks and spoon, Su Shuilian gave herself a mental note to make another set when she had the time. With such heavy injuries, even with the use of the magical green liquid, just five days of recovery would not be enough. He is still weak… To leave the forest, that can only happen a month later. With such thoughts, Su Shuilian calmly planned out her future actions. Taking four of the six dried fish, Su Shuilian handed it to the two energetically eating pups. The other two, she took to Si Ling along with the bowl of fish soup. She was about to call to him when she suddenly realised that she had never gotten his name. Before, she had heard the other men in black call him "Si Ling," "Si Lin," or maybe "Secretary Lei," but it was not appropriate to randomly use one of those names. She was eavesdropping after all. Si Ling was already aware of Su Shuilian’s approach toward him. He had thought that she was going to call him, but there was no sound for a while. He opened his eyes to see what was going on, only to find her standing a few steps before him dazing out. Taking this opportunity, he took a good look at the girl in front of him. He had to admit that she was indeed a beautiful girl, her appearance would turn heads on streets and she exuded a gentle aura. She was only wearing a plain attire, her hair braided to both sides without a single hairpin. Although she was very plainly dressed compared to the ladies in the outside who wore extravagant clothing and decorated their updone hair with flamboyant hairwear, this girl gave him an unexpected sense of comfort that he had never felt before. "Huh?" When Su Shuilian awoke from her daze, she was met with his cold, sharp eyes. With her cheeks burning red, Su Shuilian quickly squatted down and place the bowl on the floor. As she was helping the man sit up, Su Shuilian said, "Sit and drink some warm fish soup." This time, Si Ling allowed her close contact with him. Su Shuilian supported his neck, moving in closer to support him up. He saw the girl use her bag as a cushion for his back, making it more comfortable that directly placing his back to the wall. “Come, drink some of this soup. It may taste bland but I heard that it is not good to consume too much salt when a person is severely injured." Spooning up a bit of the soup, Su Shuilian placed the spoon near Si Ling’s mouth. Si Ling looked at her face for while. Only when she looked back at him with a puzzled expression did he open his mouth to drink. Mmn, the flavor was indeed bland, but to be able to drink this in the wild, especially since this girl seemed not to be a practitioner of martial arts… to be able to drink such authentic-like fish soup was already very good. After savoring the taste for a while longer, here was also a hint of mushrooms as well. One carefully fed as the other boldly drank. The two had forgotten one thing; that he had no injury to his arms or hands, and could hold and drink the soup on his own. --- "This is grilled fish, did you want some?” When Su Shuilian finished feeding him, she saw the man was still staring at her. She had thought that he wanted the dried and seasoned fish in her hand. Although she knew it was not good to consume dried foods when one was severely injured due to indigestion, but from his intense stare, she could only ask in a low and soft voice. Si Ling neither nodded or shook his head; he was not hungry. The reason he was staring at her was due to her change in personalities. At times she was bold, like that time she glared and cussed at him, but other times she was very shy. Like at this moment, how just with his stare, she was flushed with embarrassment, blushing all the way to her ears. Even though she seemed to have lived in this wolf den for a while, her manners and actions seemed to be of a noble, and very much lady-like. Moreover, the carved spoon and chopsticks are well made, and can seen as more of an art piece rather than tableware... This girl, how did she end up living with these wolf companions in the wild? Although Si Ling’s mind was full of doubts, his expression remained stoic, with eyes still covered with a layer of frost. Seeing that the man did not reply for a while, Su Shuilian pouted and no longer bothered with him. Taking back her hand, she began to enjoy her long-awaited dried and seasoned fish. --- It should be mid-summer soon right? Listening to the singing cicadas, Su Shuilian sat on a large rock right beside the body of flowing water. She had taken off her shoes and socks and was soaking her feet in the cool stream. Occasionally, some bold fish would come near her and brushed by her feet. Su Shuilian giggled at the tickling sensations. Since picking up Si Ling, Su Shuilian had spent most of her afternoons like this; resting by the stream. Of course, there were times she did venture a little further into the woods to pick some wild fruit. However, she would always make it back before sunset to prepare dinner, as there were now three mouths to feed besides her own. Looking down at her two-piece dress, she bit her lips. When she tore her second inner wear for that man to use as bandages, she did not think about how difficult it was not to have a change of underclothes, especially during the summer. Moreover, after manual work, her sticky clothes was really uncomfortable ah. So she could only use one of her two outerwears, to make another two sets of underclothes. This way, she had enough to change into. However, the material of the outerwear used was neither breathable or sweat-absorbent. It was suffocating ah. Fortunately, most of the hot sun rays were blocked, and she only had to bear with the heat in the afternoon. In the evening, the temperature was much like the spring and autumn. Nonetheless, when winter comes, with her thin clothing, she would freeze to death. ...That man would not last in the cold either. Thinking back, because she needed to apply medicine him, Su Shuilian had cut a large hole on the front of the man’s black clothing. And because she had to carry it through till the end, Su Shuilian had did the same to the back of it as well. His original outfit was now a low-cut garment. Su Shuilian sheepishly bit her lips. Fortunately, when the man woke up, he did not seem to blame her for her actions. But then again, it was a necessary. However, when he fully recovers, he will need to get a change of clothing. Su Shuilian turned her head slightly, looking upstream as her thoughts started to float afar… Not knowing how her Su family was faring...especially her mother and elder brother, they must be very depressed. And also brother Xin Yi…. Thinking of Xin Yi, Su Shuiliang let out a bitter smile. Although brother Xin Yi had promised to wed her, but that was not what he’d truly wanted. The person he really liked was Shuiyan. Of course it’s because Shuiyan was a beautiful and cheerful girl. Unlike herself, who at the age of thirteen decided to seclude herself in her small courtyard. If she was not indoors embroidering, then she would be indoors reading. Even if she did have feeling for brother Xin Yi, she wouldn’t dare to make any conspicuous moves, let alone a confession. Thinking back, he had often visited her, but in the end, he would use that time to accompany Shuiyan outside. Now he should be able to openly love her…. Su Shuiliang quietly sighed, recovering from her thoughts. She pulled her feet from the water to dry. After putting back on her shoes, she turned around, intending to go back to the cave. "Ah!" Covering her mouth, Su Shuiliang exclaimed. Then quickly, she stepped forward to aid Si Ling who was using a cane to support himself. "How did you get up? And you even walked this far? Although the wound has mostly recovered, you shouldn’t be pushing your body like this!" Really too naive ah. Su Shuiliang cleverly kept that last line in her heart and did not say it out loud. Si Ling closed his eyes and allowed her to help him back. Of course he knew himself that after the last twenty days of rest. But although he was not fully recuperated, he had already recovered eighty percent of his original strength. However, his eyes flashed with a shimmer of light. This girl had biasly treated him as if he was still heavily injured. But inexplicably, he was much contented by her fussiness and frequent care for him. Just before, he had been walking around familiarizing himself with his current location. When he came here, he had saw her comfortably soaking her feet in the stream. To avoid arousing suspicion, Si Ling was about to turn back around when he suddenly saw her sadden face gazing slightly upward. It was the first time he had seen this girl put on a lonely expression. She was always gentle and cheerful, but it seems she was also capable of letting out such an emotional expression. She only looked about fifteen of age, but that expression was much too mature for her age. It was during that pause that he was discovered when she turned back around. Did this count as peeping? Si Ling’s eyes flashed with embarrassment and self blame. However, his gaze quickly reverted back to it’s previously cold eyes because that girl quickly came forward to support him. At the same time, she was also lecturing him. Si Ling looked down at the girl who had only reached up to his chest, when all of a sudden, his heart felt a light tug. ………… "Hehe, you guys (Xiao Chun and Xiao Xue) are quite powerful, aren’t you?" Holding the two wolf cubs Su Shuilian generously petted their snow white fur, praising them to no end. With the midsummer soon approaching, the amount of animals appearing were rapidly increasing. Since meeting the wolf cubs, their hunting skills had been noticeably getting better. Everyday, these two would make their rounds and always come back with either rabbits, pheasants, or ducks. And today, they had even manage to drag back a thick, four to five meters long python. Though Su Shuilian had a fear of these ferocious looking beast, in this dense forest, this was one of their few sources of food. Besides… With the flash of her eyes and a curving smiling, Su Shuilian looked over toward the currently meditating Si Ling. Si Ling was sitting with his back against the walls when he heard the girl’s cheerful voice. Opening his eyes, sure enough, he was meet with her shining black eyes and her cheerful smile. He got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. Without a word, Si Ling started to clean the large python. Ever since Su Shuilian saw how quickly and cleanly Si Ling had skinned a rabbit, any similar tasks were all given to him. ------- "Start packing up, we are going to leave the wilderness in two days." After Si Ling had finished his meal, he nonchalantly threw out this single sentence. At his words, Su Shuilian widen her eyes and shockingly looked at him for a long time. After swallowing the food in her mouth and finding her voice, she slowly asked, "You… you are not a mute?" (That last paragraph is the teaser to the next chapter. Yeah, the title for this chapter really was not really for this chapter because it was only revealed at chapter 8 when Si Ling could talk.) He was still alive? Si Ling let out a self mocking smile.
Looking around, he realised he was in a wolf’s den. Not far from him, two wolf cubs are sleeping soundly. Was his savior a wolf? He raised his brows in surprise, but soon he overthrow his previous speculation. Looking at his wounded waist and abdomen that have been cleanly bandage with a white cotton fabric, in addition, his was clean of blood stains. It was as if that night had never happened, Su Ling accurately guessed that the one that had saved him was a human and not a wolf. However, who could this person be, to have such medical experience to save him, a person who was on the brink of death? Not only did this person get rid of the two toxins in his body, but the wounds on his body were also recovering at an unnatural pace. Just as he was wondering, Si Ling heard footsteps nearing the entrance of the cave. He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. That person who had entered the cave was indeed Su Shuilian who had finished washing her face at the creak. She had also collected some edible plants from near the stream, putting the plants in a basket, Su Shuilian crouched down near the man. Seeing that he was still not awake, Shuilian no longer bother with him and went to wake up the two small wolf cubs. "Xiao Chún, Xiao Xue get up, we have a lot of chores to complete ah. If you don’t help out, then no meals for you oh." As she expected, as long as they heard the word ‘meal’, the two puppies would jump right up, as if they were feigning sleep. "Haha, while I will prepare the food, you two should go to the creek and wash your front paws. Don’t run too far ok?" Su Shuilian shook her head as she smiled at the wolf pups who were waging their tails as they quickly ran out to the stream. Since when did she start speaking to the wolves like this, ah? But they could understand her… Staying in the forest for so long, she was afraid that she would lose her human communication skills, so she could only talk to the wolf pups... Shaking her head, Su Shuilian decided not to think too much about it. Humming a small tune, Su Shuilian continued to make her wild vegetable and meat soup. Maybe after breakfast, she can get the two puppies to help her catch some of the fish in the stream. When she was at the creak she saw many decent size fish, there were even thumb size prawns that occasionally surfaced. She hoped this wolf cubs were just as agile in the water as they were on land. Thinking of the possibilities, Su Shuilian gulped, since she had been stuck in the forest, all she had to eat were animal meat and some vegetables, with the addition of fish and shrimp, that would be wonderful oh. Si Ling looked at the Su Shuilian’s back as she was facing the other way. Si Ling was stunned, so the person who had saved him was a what seemed to be a girl who was unaware of worldly affairs. He then added: maybe it was because she was unaware that she dared save him. Thinking of his infamy, not many were unaware of his name, as one of the top three assassins within the whole country, the most wanted man in Feng Yao Court, Si Ling. Then, a sudden thought came to mind and Si Ling’s cold eyes flashed with anger: Feng Qingya, this Si Ling had always executed the all the tasks without fail and never had other thoughts, but after the previous head had died, because of distrust, not only did you poisoned me with two different toxins, you even had Si Tuo and his group come and personally kill me. With such lowly means, how long can Feng Yao Court last under your control? Only because the past head had owned a great debt to you, I will spare you this time, but there is not more ‘next time,’ Feng Qingya.... Su Shuilian heard a ‘humph’ sound, and looked back puzzledly. She tilted her head in thought for a moment before going to Si Ling’s side. She stared at his face for a moment, finding nothing out of the ordinary. Sticking out her finger, Shuilian was about to fear for this breath, when suddenly a hand grasped tightly onto her wrist. "Wah!" Shocked and scared, Su Shuilian fell to the ground. She looked at the man in front of her who had been unconscious for 5 days and nights; when she looked into his dark eyes that was void of warmth, she fearfully looked away. Su Shuilian wanted to stand up, but noticed that her wrist was tightly gripped onto, the pain so immence that she wanted to cry out. Holding back the tears in her eyes, Su Shuilian glared at him and said: "Let me go, you barbarian!” How ungrateful ah! The usually tempered and gentle Su Shuilian could not help but blurt out in anger. Immediately, she became annoyed at herself for learned to cuss at others; her cheeks turned slightly red. However, her actions did not stop as she continued to struggle out of his tight restraint. Unknownst to even himself, Si Ling’s eyes flashed with an ambiguous light. When he released his hand, Su Shuilian quickly took back her hands while taking a few steps back. "Since you are up, then make yourself at home!" Su Shuilian’s said in a calm voice, but it was not diffcult to detect her anger in her tone of voice. With her words said, she quickly turned around to continue brewing her soup as she no longer wanted to talk to this mannerless man. Si Ling raised his brow, was she grimacing at herself? Gently, he pressed on the multiple wounds on his body, only to find no pain. Puzzled, Si Ling sat up only to find himself lying on a thick layer of leaves covered by a warm mat of tiger fur. He guessed it was the bed of the girl and the two wolf cubs, their treatment to him was not bad ah. Lightly, Si Ling tried to stand up with the support of the cave walls. His weak condition had confirmed that his injuries were as serious as he had thought. With a sudden wave of dizziness, Si Ling fell onto the cave wall, struggling not to fall. When Su Shuilian heard sounds of movement, she could not help but look back. Looking at the man who was saved from the brink of death making such a reckless action, she quickly forgotten her previous anger and she quickly took large strides forward. Helping him up, she muttered: "Do you want to die again? Such heavy wounds, you think just a few days of lying down can completely heal you?" Only when she carefully helped him down, did Su Shuilian go and check on his wounds that were covered by the cotton wrapping. Seeing reopening of the wounds, did Su Shulian sigh in relief. Looking into his chilled eyes that had revealed a trace of feebleness, Su Shuilian gathered her courage and said: "I spent a lot of time and effort to save you, so don’t let me see you go down again.” Si Ling did not voice a sound and only glaced at her for a moment. He thenclosed his eyes to rest. “Eh, could he be mute?” Su Shuilian frowned in response, right from waking up till now, this man did not say anything. Thinking about to when he was surrounded by the other men, she also did not hear him say anything... Su Shuilian was discouraged by her conclusion of this man. She had finally managed to save this man… she had wanted to get information from him about this world to plan her future. This is just great, this man turned out to be a mute. "Oh, what horrible luck ah." Su Shuilian’s back leaned against the wall as she sat down with her knees in front of her. She placed her forehead on her knees, and thought: it seemed that she could no longer ask about anything ah… She had wanted to know the prices of the properties here, if she were to go out, Su Shuilian was not sure how long she could last with the amount of coins she had. ----- When Si Ling woke up once again, he found himself alone in the wolf den. Looking at the two cleanly licked bowls, while he was asleep, that girl and the two wolves must have finished their meals and went out. Self loathing, he blamed his currently weak body; how else could he had slept so deeply in an unfamiliar place? He did not even detect them leaving, if it were in the past, he would have died countless times. Thinking back, right when he was about to sleep, he had heard her mumble something about being mute…was she talking about himself?... Because he did not talk, it had lead her to think that he was mute? Ok then, let’s pretend to be mute, let’s see her reactions... While in the midst of thought, Si Ling suddenly heard her voice. It seemed that she was talking to the wolf pups. With her soft tone of voice, he had guessed this girl’s temple and personality was just as gentle. However, with the sudden flashback of her angry expression and her shout "barbarian" when he had grasp her wrist, refusing her hand to get any closer, Si Ling’s mood inexplicably got better. “ Shh, don’t be too loud, if he wakes up, we’re going to have to go out again." Peeking into the cave, Su Shuilian saw that Si Ling’s eyes were still closed. Putting her index finger to her lips, she gestured at the wolves to not make a sound. Hearing her words, Si Ling frowned: What ‘going out again’? Just because he will wake up would mean to drive them out of their own house? Si Ling’s alwayed unfazed heart rippled in anger. No longer did he pretend as he opened his eyes and coldly stared at Su Suilian. Su Shuilian was quietly preparing lunch, when all of a sudden, she felt a chill on her back that caused her to shiver. However, she did not think too much about it. Picking up the just cleaned rock pot and put 4 fish into it. The other six fish, she had plan to take out to grill. Those two little rascals were really powerful ah. They caught 20 fish with ease… Selecting the 10 biggest for today, the rest Su Shuilian planned to dry. On such hot days, the fish will quickly go bad, using the saltly fruits and seasoned berries, she can make plentiful amounts of salted grill fish. Thinking, Su Shuilian let out a chuckle in content. Seeing that she was able to chuckle by herself, Si Ling could not help be sound a ‘humph.’ Very good, now her attention was on him. "Eh, you’re up?" Su Shuilian looked back to see Si Ling staring back at her. Quickly, she stopped her previous actions and walked towards him and embarrassedly said: " I… I was rude before, sorry…. That, uh do you feel better now? Xiao chún and Xiao Xue caught a lot of fish today, are you able to drink some warm soup? If you want some, you can nod…” Su Shuilian anxiously said to the the man she had concluded to be mute as she let out a shy smile. At her honest look and confession, Si Ling involuntarily nodded. "Ok, just rest for a bit, I’ll go prepare the soup… it’ll be ready soon" After getting an answer, Su Shuilian helped him pull the blanket up, and then retreated back to prep. Hey guys MissQ here, So my other site has recently added a new translated, Tofu. I'll be added a teaser on this site, be sure to check it out on my new site:
Chapter 1 - The Three Great Martial Arts A tremendous raging river flowed endlessly, on either sides of the river laid a mountain range which stretched into the distance. Within the mountain range, one could often hear the bellows of demonic beasts. These sounds resounded throughout the mountains as though it were surging thunder. Standing erect by the vast plains beside the river banks lay a mighty city. This city was located on the edge of the Ji Province of the Grand Zou Empire; it was named, Heavenly Ancestor City. Due to the fact that the city’s position was near the border, it resulted in wars, continuously ravaging the city over the past years. During the last few years, the area had been slightly calmer due to the increase in the Grand Zou Empire’s strength. Heavenly Ancestor City, Heavenly Star Academy At noon, the vicious sun’s rays could be reflected off the face of the present crowd, sounds of cheering could be heard from a vacant field within the Heavenly Star Academy. A group of students were sitting on the ground cross-legged with their eyes fixed to the front. In front of the students was young male teacher who was currently demonstrating martial skills; the muscles on his entire body were bulky, similar to those of an ancient colossal beast. His incomparably thick and sturdy arms were covered in dark scales that gave off a deep metallic luster under the sun. “Martial arts are broad and profound, from the ancient times until present, martial arts have experienced numerous of evolutions. In the end, it left us with three of the strongest kinds of martial arts: Flame, Dragon and Star martial arts.” The young teacher demonstrated the martial skills whilst simultaneously introducing martial arts. “I’m a Dragon martial artist.” “A Dragon martial artist should have dragon blood inherited within their body. The cultivators of the Dragon martial art can activate the dragon blood within their body to strengthen their mortal body, possessing an incomparably powerful strength, just like this!” The young teacher tightly clenched his right fist, causing the muscles in his arm to bulge, it gave the students a violent and powerful pressure. He threw the fist toward the massive rock next to him that weighs several hundred Jin. From within the muscles, a burst of explosions sounded forth, wantonly showing off its strength. Boom! The stone fragments scattered throughout the field. Hey guys! MissQ here! In case you did not see the last post, here is the last part of Forbidden Love! Enjoy! “Bing’er, what are you doing?”
When Xiao Qing opened the door to Dong Fang Ling’s room, she saw Bing’er struggling to get up with one hand holding her wounded chest. Bing’er struggled to stand, but Xiao Qing ran over in time to stop her and and settled her back onto the bed. "Xiao Qing, quit making a fuss about it. I have been lying in bed for seven days now, it’s gotten much better, so let me outside to take a walk. If she kept staying in bed, she’s definitely going to go bad. If she doesn’t take advantage when Dong Fang Ling is away settling business, she’ll go crazy from staying indoors for so long. "No, young master said I must carefully watch over you, in case you wanted to do something like this... Your wounds have not completely closed yet, what will we do if it opened again?” Bing’er’s wound was very deep, not only was it coupled with excessive bleeding, she also suffered a high fever. In addition, because she had lost a lot of weight, her healing process was slowed down, and this had really worried young master. Moreover, on top of the decoction the physicians had prescribed to her, Bing’er was fed medical cuisine. Though Bing’er was fed five meals a day, there was no visible signs of her putting on any weight. However, she is slowing getting back her color (as in she’s not pale anymore). “I just want to go to Gu Yue Pavilion to sit a bit." Bing’er said, while looking at the Xiao Qing in front of her. She was quite surprised by her own lack of strength, though… with just saying this sentence, she was already out of breath. "Definitely not in this condition, you can not go out; just look at yourself. Just a few words, and already tired. Please Bing’er, be good and lie back down, please don’t cause trouble, young master will blame me for it. "I don’t want to." In a deadlock, just when Xiao Qing was about to force Bing’er to lie down, a light cough was heard from outside the door. Elder Jiang said in a respectful voice: "Lady Luo, Lady Fang is here to see you.” Ever since first young master brought Lady Lou back, she had stayed in young master’s bedroom since. The two had shared the same bed for several days, it was an open secret to everyone in the House. It was not going to be long until Lady Lou becomes Dong Fang House’s first lady. "Lady Fang? Could it be Chu Chu? Elder Jiang, quickly, please let her in.” Taking advantage as Bing’er was speaking, Xiao Qing helped her lay back onto the bed in a semi fowler's position. Smiling, she also carefully added a blanket on top of her. Bing’er could glare at her and helplessly follow Xiao Qing. When Fang Chu Chu entered the inner room, she greeted Bing’er with a smile. Xiao Qing timely pulled a stool next to the bed so that they could talk properly. Sitting onto the chair, Chu Chu nodded at Xiao Qing as a thanks before holding onto Bing’er’s hand. She happily said: "Binger, do remember me? Never thought that outside of that Yi Hong Brothel incident that we would meet once again.” "Yes ah, I would have never dreamed that you then, was the long lost daughter of Fang House." Bing’er reciprocated her hand hold, thinking back to that incident.. Ah, everything was so unexpected ah. Chu Chu looked at Bing’er who laid on the bed, and apologetically said: "Bing’er, I have come today to express my gratitude to you. You have saved both me and my mother, and you almost lost your life, you are our family’s benefactor. I really don’t know how to express my thanks and apologies to you…” Her impression of Bing’er was that she was always lively, but now she’s bedridden. Even though she was no longer as pale as before, Chu Chu still felt sorry for Bing’er. "Don’t say that, I have gotten a lot better! If you do not believe me, then come walk with me outside, I’ll show you.” Bing’er could not bear to let Chu Chu to blame herself any longer. Trying to get up, Bing’er was stopped by a hand. "Bing’er, if you dare walk out of your room, I will tell young master the truth.” Xiao Qing said with a warning. She knew that Bing’er was trying to take this opportunity to go outside…. Ah she really did not think of how her condition is. Bing’er looked at Xiao Qing unhappily. Using Dong Fang Ling to pressure her, all she could do was grit her teeth angrily. Looking at the two people bickering in front of her, Chu Chu could not help but laugh. She was glad that Bing’er was taken good care of in Dong Fang House. With Dong Fang Ling, Chu Chu was had nothing to worry about. Thinking back to the time when she first met Dong Fang Ling, Chu Chu was very impressed with his seemingly unfazeable appearance. But after he heard that Bing’er was kidnapped, his calm facade quickly came off. His murderous aura… ah just thinking about it caused her heart to beat faster in fear. "Oh yeah, Chu Chu, I heard that you had someone you liked, would you mind telling me?" Suddenly Bing’er remember the reason why Fang House had agreed to terminate the marriage. Curious, Bing’er could not help but ask. Chu Chu’s delicate face blushed, her eyes flashed with a shy light, as she softly said: "It’s a long story" Rain was heard trickling down, outside the window. From time to time, it was accompanied by sounds of laughter and teasing; creating a harmonious and leisurely afternoon. --- The full moon was brightened by its yellow halo-like light, as it shone on the intertwining figures in Gu Yue pavilion. Bing’er sat on the railing, comfortably leaning her back against Dong Fang Ling’s chest. Her fingers playing with his large hands which was tightly wrapped around her waist. Thinking about her almost dream-like experience from and ‘till after coming to Lou Yang city, Bing’er let out a sigh. “Why are you sighing?" Dong Fang Ling raised his brows. Inhaling the light fragrance emitted by the person in his embrace, he was reminded of their first encounters. His handsome face shone with affection. "Nothing, I just never expected that a simple trip would have turned out to be like this..." Thinking about her past injuries and her near death experience, Dong Fang Ling tightened his hold around Bing’er’s waist. After days of meticulous care, Bing’er had finally recovered and was back to her healthy self. "When your father comes, we will be able to get married." If not for Lou Xuan’s words, he would have already married Bing’er after she had recovered. Although they already share the same bed, he was still not assured because of her naughty personality. “Just speaking about my father just makes me angry, without any word of explanation, he just throws me with you. He really puts a lot of faith in you.” Bing’er could not help but complain as her pink lips slightly pursed. Dong Fang Ling laughed as his long finger poked at her pink lips. Taking out a silver bracelet, he put it on Bing’er’s thin wrist. He then adjusted the size, so that it wouldn’t fall off. "What is this?" Binger curiously looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It was a silver bracelet and delicately carved on it were exquisite, life-like flowers and birds. The most breathtaking thing about it was that the fastener was actually a piece of jade, which had the word "Ling" carved on top of it. Dong Fang Ling gently lifted Bing’er’s wrist, kissing the bracelet, he explained: "This is Dong Fang House’s keepsake (love token). The ‘Ling’ on the jade signifies that you are my, Dong Fang Ling’s, wife." After annulling his and Lady Fang’s marriage at Fang House, he had finally taken back this token to put on Bing’er. From now on, after seeing this bracelet, anyone of Dong Fang House would know Bing’er’s identity. "There is also one thing I want to ask you. Where did you obtain all those knowledge of poisons from?" This question had been in his mind for a while, but had always forgotten to ask. "Well it’s a long story... Have you heard of the three flowers of Pan Yangcheng (潘阳城)? Those three beautiful and elegant, glamorous, unparalleled women, well, they are like sisters to me. All three of them have their own specialties/strength, I had only learnt Yin Shuang sister’s face changing technique, but you quickly saw through it... as for the red scorpion powder, Wu Shuang sister had given it to me for self-defense. Actually out of the three, Qiu Shuang sister’s skill in medicine was the most favored, but I was too restless and never took the patience to learn. " (Remember like the term brother, sister can be used to signify close relationships) After Bing’er had mentioned them, she let out a bitter laugh. She really did miss them ah. "When we get married, I can take you to visit them." Dong Fang Ling did not look at her face, but with her tone of voice, he knew what she was thinking. "It’s a promise then!" Bing’er happily laughed, her picky hooked onto his hand’s last digit at her waist. Leaning her head back, exchange smiles with Dong Fang Ling. They were both drunk in each other's eyes in the moonlight of the night. Dong Fang Ling tightened his arms around his beloved as he looked towards that dark sky which was lit by the bright moon. Ah, a wonderful reunion under a full moon. |
