91 Nirvana, the Divine whip (1/2)

Xin Li clenched her fists and pursed her lips tightly. She looked as if she was struggling with her inner demon. Her expression changed multiple times. How could a little girl that never experienced joy in her life simple trust the words of a master. All her life she was only disappointed by them. After a long silence, her delicate voice echoed throughout the room.

” My lady, will you really free me ?” the hope in her voice did not escape Xia Lian's keen observation.

” I never make empty promises.”

Those five magical words made Xin Li's heart palpitate. She took a deep breath to compose herself as she looked at the cross-dressed girl before her. The girl is obviously younger than her but the maturity in those obsidian black eyes far exceeded her age. Her eloquent speech and graceful demeanor.. everything about the girl before her is attractive and one could not help but be drawn to her. She was her goddess.

After debating for a while in her heart, Xin Li sat on her knees and crossed her arm across her chest. She then looked straight into Xia Lian's eyes while speaking ” Master, I , Xin Li will pledge my life and loyalty to you henceforth.”

” No need to pledge your life.” Xia Lian smiled ”As long as you stay by my side I will never let you die.”

” Also, don't address yourself as servant. I prefer if you call yourself as my sub-ordinate. What do you think?”

” This sub-ordinate understands.” Xin Li smiled from her heart.

”Xin Li, as a symbol for your new life, I will personally grant you a new name.” Xai Lian said while smiling sweetly at her very first follower.

Xin Li didn't react at first, she stood still, as if frozen in place and time.

A crystalline tear was slowly forming in her eye and she tried to suppress it. Xia Lian slightly chuckled at the little girl who is trying to uphold her dignity.

”From today, your name shall be Fai Ling and I am sure that you will carry it with pride in the future” Xia Lian said, but her tone of voice was changing from playful to one that is filled with dignity.

' Fai Ling' the petite girl chanted her new name in her heart and it caused a small wave in her stoic eyes . She looked at her master, who freed her from her shackles and granted her a chance of rebirth.

The look in her eyes changed from respect to determination. At that moment she resolutely decided that in life or death, heaven or hell,no matter what she will always follow in her footsteps..

” Moyin, I want you get some clothes and weapons for Fai Ling. Also, buy a suitable horse for her. Don't cheap out on her, she will represent me in the future. I will be taking her with me.” Xia Lian handed over her money pouch to him.

” Sis Xia, keep the money with you. You will be needing it for your journey.” Jun Moyin refused the money and stood up.
