Embroidery Girl
chapter 12: the dancer

Xin mei was silent. The white and soft face yan’er made her stunned and continued to look at her, she was as if she had never seen a girl as beautiful as yan’er in front of her, whereas if she dressed up, she was no less beautiful than the woman in front of her.

“erghm..”.

“ah, yes, my name is Li xin may.”

After escaping from her stunned, xin may continued, “you who? Are you the woman from kahyangan who was put down to help me?”

Yan’er was silent for a moment before nodding hesitantly.

“Greetings! Sorry for my previous sassness.” Xin mei hurriedly bowed and saluted.

While trying to do so, yan’er, shrugged both of his shoulders, and a soft voice came out of his mouth, “eermm, no need like that.”

“ah, yes.” Xin Mei replied after a moment of silence. Then he lifted his face. Although he wanted to pay his respects to the big man in front of him, he also did not want to refute the orders of this big fellow. Other than because the person in front of him looked perfect, he did not know how he was behaving.

Since childhood, xin Mei was always told by her mother about a beautiful woman from kahyangan who met a innocent girl in one of the villages. When her mother visited the hut, she always ended her visit with a story. He tells the story of a girl who daily washes dishes and sells firewood who accidentally met the woman from kahyangan who made her life change right then and there.

He didn't believe it, but today, he believed and was surprised what his mother said was true. He tried several times it was disbelief, but it was true, in front of him was a fact.

“I came here to free you from that bad guy. Actually, I'd love to talk to you a lot, but I don't have much time. My job is so much. Please understand. And, Don't be sad for it, I'll visit you another time again.”

“no problem for me. Someone who helped me was so grateful. You are also a person of kahyangan, must have a lot of tasks, it does not matter to me if you only visit for a while.”

Xin mei spoke cheerfully. He never expected to meet someone from the kahyangan. It shared a dream for him and an untold blessing.

Yan’er waved his hand forward. The movements are very smooth and soft. From her dress came three bottles of small flower vases, hovering close to xin mei.

“taken.”

“.... Fine.” Xin mei accepted hesitating.

“red color bottle contains a very deadly poison. You can pour it into a drink to kill the man. White color contains very strong Strength. With that, you can drink it and kill it, but it's for the last way. It would be useless for a strong man like.”

“and lastly, the black color contains a liquid that can kill a person in just seconds. Just pouring a single drop on one's skin would make him melt and die, even if it was a strong man. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand. Thank you for your help, I am very grateful to be given these poisons.” Xin mei lowered her head and saluted with one hand.

“if there is more time, I really want to cure you, but I have less time.” Yan’er looked concernedly at xin mei's hand.

“Nothing noble, you came alone this for me already very happy.”

Yan’er gave a gentle smile to xin mei before finally disappearing.

“Thank you! Your majesty kahyangan!” xin Mei looked at the departure of yan’er in the sky and waved her left hand. He was smiling and very happy.

On the other hand, tang li's teacher, liu Fang, smiled coldly at the departure of yan’er.

“Having such strength, how dare to enter my house. Want to search dead.”

Liu Fang smiled coldly. He stood in the corridor while staring at the night sky then left.

......................

After meeting with yan’er, xin mei went to the room feeling elated. He hid three bottles of poison inside his shirt. Without a shower, he went to bed.

To the next day, he as usual opened the window, welcoming the morning and bright sunlight. A feeling of joy lit up his heart this time. After opening the window with both hands, he became shocked and astonished, his right hand had already healed and was like not injured at all before.

He became astonished and confused to look at his right hand for a long time. “ this must have been the man of the kahyangan.”

He closed his eyes and prayed to the figure he was expecting from the kahyangan.

Without thinking any further, xin mei jumped out. This time he would not commit any more carelessness. He jumped up, ran over the tile then jumped and spun in the air, causing his white han fu to fly beautifully in the air.

“ashic! I can do it!” he then looked at the peach blossom tree in front of him. She smiles.

He ran over, then tried to climb up.

......................

The orange sunlight illuminated the garden of Liu fang's hakka house. The birds peacefully returned home across the beautiful sky in the afternoon.

“we end up here,” liu fang said then sighed. He had been explaining the techniques that Tang Li would perform all day. He explained it very in detail and was full of patience. She wanted tang li to know everything.

Even though he knew it wasn't until then, he wanted to convey whatever he had. A teacher should give him all the knowledge he has.

Upon seeing tang li nod, liu fang turned his head towards the window, looking at xin mei who was still sitting on top of the tree. The girl climbed too high and enjoyed a long time there, yet her face was still overjoyed.

Seeing the beauty of the girl, made him remember the dancer. His egg-like face and nose have something in common with the woman of the dancer. What reminded him the most, were his two white and soft legs. The shape is perfect; not too long and short, making it look beautiful and graceful.

The dancer will dance. Steadily stepping his feet on the ground carried a stick with the tip in a tie of red scarves. With a sharp look, he moved nimbly. Sometimes he would turn the stick around, or just swing it to the side.

The smoothness and beauty of his movements made Liu fang like him. Moreover, the bracelet on her feet that always sounds when stepping, creating a regular tone, making her jump from hiding and enjoy the performance of the dancer who wears a charming purple dress.

Slow sea the dancer noticed it and came to him.

“it would be nice if you enjoyed my show.” The woman approached.

Liu fang was stunned. The beauty of that woman drives her crazy. He likes his eyelashes. Black hair was sparkling like a girl he had seen in the most beautiful painting, even more beautiful than that.

“Master, sir.” The woman called liu fang to her surprise.

The woman smiled before finally saying, “lord, are you enjoying my show?”

“Iya, yes.” Liu fang became nervous.

“you from where?”

Then they talked to where the dancer lived. Along the way, they get to know each other. In just a few minutes, they were already very familiar. His name is he xian. He lives with his sister. Her father and mother are dead.

Her search eye is farming and being a dancer. His sister was a child, and needed the affection of he xian. Therefore, he had to work hard to support his sister.

“you dance so beautifully.” praise liu fang.

Although praised, this woman was immune to praise; her expression was flat, not even she looked at liu fang, but she replied, “thank you. But for me, it is not beautiful, even spelled out far from the word beautiful it.”

“why?”

“doesn't a bird know more about himself?”

“.......”

Silence was between the two of them. Liu fang could only remain silent, he did not know how to answer. But he xian immediately melted the atmosphere.

“sorry, if that offends you. But, what I say does have a point, I am not satisfied with my achievements, and I always try to reach even higher and keep trying.”

Hurriedly he continued, “indeed true, living with that ambition was a lot of fun, but I was too ambitious which would gradually destroy myself.”

“forget it. You're from a faraway place, right? If I don't guess wrong, you have a very strong power. You are one of the people who will be destined to be a great person.”

“Why?”

“because you are very ambitious and have more talent. If you've become very strong, I'll come to your house and be your wife.”

Hearing that, liu fang became shocked. He never expected those words to come out of the mouth of the woman in front of him. But he could not resist it, he liked the woman in front of him.

“I will wait for you.”
