Chapter 14 - 14. They Drink My Blood (1/2)
Xu Tingfeng POV
After I left the main hall, I directly went to Bei Zhou. We used the combination of Qinggong and wind magic, that's why we can arrive there in 2 and half hour. We killed all the royal family because all of them are sc.u.mbags too. They were the usual royal family, killing each other for power. Then why don't I help them with that? We killed the corrupt officer and minister too. After one hour of killing spree, we left Bei Zhou.
I kept thinking about Hong er waiting for me at home. I always pray to the gods so that Hong er can live a better life out there. But It still didn't work, she lived as a slave, how can a father not be furious after knowing his daughter was slaved?
I was too absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't realize I had arrive. I noticed that a little white creature is talking with the guards. When I want to scold the guards for not properly di his job, I realized that they were talking to Hong er. What is that in their hand? A bowl? Hm? It smells like ginger. Then I saw that she pushed Ah Tong and walked here.
She bowed, ” My Lord, you had come home.”
I nodded. ” ehm, What are you doing this early? The sun hasn't even rise yet.”
Hong er: ” ooohh, I cook for the soldiers when I was a slave. That's why I had to wake up early and now it became a habit. Hehehe.”
Xu Tingfeng: ” But it is cold out here, why don't you go back to your room and warm yourself up? Look, even your hand had become this cold.”
I rub her hands to make it warm but what I saw is scars. Her little white hands had scars everywhere.
Xu Tingfeng: ” How did you get this?”
Hong er: ” I practice swordmanship with a kitchen knife that's why I got so many cuts on my hands.”
I looked at her solemnly, ” tell me the truth.”
Hong er: ” … they cut my hands and drank my blood. If I refuse or struggle, they would tie me with prickly wire. Then the blood will come out if I struggle. They used their sword to cut my palms, my arms, my legs and my thighs after that they will drain my blood into a cup.”
Third person POV
Xu Tingfeng's hand froze. All the soldiers, the guards, and the 10 shadow guards are shocked. They drank her blood? She was this skinny and little, they still drain her blood?!
Xu Tingfeng: ” Wh-Why?”
