Embroidery Girl
chapter 23: goddess of dolls

A beautiful woman dressed in white stood under a shady banyan tree. He looked up at the sky filled with stars. When he heard the voice, he smiled. “The first plan failed, but the second plan, will probably go well. I was in too much of a hurry to take advantage of that plain girl. I didn't expect the old man to stop him.”

All he was talking about, was none other than Li Xin Mei whom he had used to kill Tang Li. Right, she was yan’er who was considered a woman from kahyangan by Li Xin Mei. He Doing that was simply merely wanting to kill Tang Li. She was also the one who appeared in front of Tang Li to believe him to look for Li Xin Mei and bring her along. He just enough to make the two fall in love, then separate them just like what happened to him before.

He wanted to destroy it a second time, and kill when the opportunity arose. He had already prepared a plan to do so.

“good. I highly commend your plan. When it arrives, I will kill him myself.”

A man appeared beside her with a calm look. The man had a body that was not too tall and large.

“I'll do anything for you.” The woman turned to the man beside her. Whatever he asks, he will.

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

The sun is shining so fast. He slowly opened his eyes, then turned his head in all directions.

I'm still here, who brought this blanket? Why am I still here?

Then he looked back. A woman was behind him, and he fell asleep on his lap. Was I outside last night? Is aunt like that too? Why would he do that?

Questions popped up in his mind. She never expected, the woman she knew a day could do this to her. He slowly stood up. Raise the blanket and start putting it on the lap of the woman. He felt guilty after staring at his exhausted face like that.

However, when he did, the woman opened her eyes gently.

“aibi, why didn't aunt wake me up? It's too cold outside to sleep, plus it's in that position. Aunty just needs to wake me up yesterday.”

“You.” The woman answered briefly, then stood up. He folded the blanket then led Li Xin Mei inside.

That blanket, which brought him someone else. He ordered it when the night had covered the sky. He could not bear to wake the girl who was on his lap. My face and the girl's pale enough to keep her from waking up and sleeping outside. Although it hurts, for him, the girl in his lap feels more pain than him who just sleeps.

The woman took him for makeup, then treated his wounds. Afterwards, the woman left, and came again with food.

“aibi, what is the name of aunty?” xin Mei asked as she received the food she was carrying. He accepted it without any suspicion.

“My name is He Xian.”

“Beautiful aunt's name, I love it.” He then started eating his food.

Afterwards, Xin Mei slept to recover her injuries. He woke up during the day, when He Xian was not there. However, he found a statue that he was very familiar with and liked. The statue was on his bedside table. He looked at her for a long time, and wondered whether it was the same statue of hers or not.

Nope, no. It's not the same statue. It belongs to someone else. But... There's no one here, I have to have it.

He moved closer to her. His right hand was stretched out, but, it suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.

Nope, no. I can't steal anymore, I've been a good girl. Stealing is a bad thing. But... The statue is so beautiful.... Borrowing it would be okay, right? Just briefly.

He took it, then watched well. A sweet smile appeared on his face. True, the statue was very similar to the statue he once had. Nothing different at all, it's like a copy of it. He twirled around, revealing every detail of the statue.

“That statue is very beautiful, isn't it?”

He Xian looked pale when he saw the statue fall. But, fortunately Xin Mei was able to catch him, even though she had to fall down.

“don't mess with it!” He Xian directly took the statue from Xin Mei's hand. He looks angry. He then went from there, and put the statue on the table.

“Quick go shower!”

Xin Mei was surprised to hear that, yet she did. He felt guilty after doing so. With his head down, he walked into the bathroom. Although her stomach hurt from not eating, she did not care about it.

After xin mei was nowhere to be seen, He Xian sighed. I get angry too quickly...

He momentarily looked towards the direction where xin mei was going, then he left from there.

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

The orange sunlight shone brightly from behind the slightly dark gray clouds. Tang Li walked over a narrow path that connected two high cliffs. On his right and left was a very deep valley and filled with clouds. Even though the sky was clear, it did not reveal anything that was inside.

That place was none other than the place where xin may had last been.

He walked quietly while carrying a sword on his back.

Just as he was in the middle of that road, both of his eyebrows shot up, along with his forehead shrinking. Both of his eyes became alert. At the same time he stopped.

There was a sound of cracks coming from under his seat. The voice was extremely small, but with his strength now, that extremely small, inaudible voice he could easily hear. The sound was as if signaling the ground bridge below him would crack.

And, sure enough, suddenly the sound of cracks sounded more intense and more numerous. A second later, the bridge was shattered into thousands of pieces.

Tang Li fell at high speed. He was finally able to control his body when dozens of meters fell. His long black hair splashed in the wind. He could see nothing but the mist that kept moving because of the wind.

But he knows what is around him. He smiled coldly.

Reach his sword, then swing it vertically slightly to the side. Just then, an explosion occurred, the fog drifted away, and exposed everything around it.

He slowly saw an enormous arm, the roof of a nine-level pagoda, the body of a very large woman. His figure was huge and tall! It might be as big as a mountain range and hundreds of meters high! Looking at it, it was as if looking at an enormous giant. If you look down, you won't be able to see his feet touch the ground. Even though the fog is covered below, it does not mean it is deceiving.

The woman was wearing a bright blue Han fu. Both of his hands were at the front as if he wanted to capture the red-colored nine-tiered pagoda in the middle of his hand. The woman's face looked very pretty with long black hair. However, both of his eyes looked very dark.

On his neck was a long bright blue scarf reaching his waist.

The pagoda was seen floating, but, if meticulously, there were some white threads connected with the woman's hand.

In addition, there were two such women! The other one grasped the sword, and prepared to make an attack.

These two women were neither humans, nor were they gods, nor humans who had monstrous cultivations, let alone giants.

When Tang Li was still wandering, he had already encountered various sects, and strange techniques at his disposal. Various heirlooms, he had seen and known. There is only one person who has this kind of power. This person had once fought with him, and this person was in love with him. But he refused it.

This guy has a very strong ability. He probably entered into the top ten strongmen. She was none other than the puppet master goddess, named Du yueliang.
