Embroidery Girl
chapter 35: you better not do that

The next day, as he said, he left with all his belongings. The girl walked down looking at her two tiny, cloth-covered legs and continued walking without looking the other way.

Tang Li simply stared at her from outside the house, until the girl was nowhere to be seen anymore.

Tang Li was not unconcerned about it, but with her passing, she would be calmer living her days without her distractions.

After being with her for a few months, the girl was very troublesome to her and always bothered her. Therefore, keeping a distance with him for a while is very helpful. Moreover, if there will be an attack at his house, of course the girl who will be attacked first.

Tang Li actually paid no heed to the girl's safety, however, he wanted the girl's destiny to be in his hands.

But without him noticing, a soft feeling appeared to the girl. He just doesn't want to reveal it. Not out of embarrassment, but he hesitated and did not know what feelings had arisen towards the stone-headed girl.

Tang Li then walked in.

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

After walking for a while, Xin Mei finally found a beautiful and luxurious inn. Yet the inn seemed to have long since deserted as it exuded a gloomy and dusty aura.

But the girl continued to climb the steps of the house and towards the main door was a gloomy red.

When he opened it, suddenly someone patted him, and made him surprised.

“Nona, why are you here?” Lei Shi was beside him.

“You surprised me prince.”

“Sorry, but seeing you so curious to know what's inside this house, I can't bear to mess with you.”

Lei Shi laughed and looked at the large package Xin Mei was holding.

“Is this your home? What did you bring?”

Xin Mei who had already opened the door was shocked and thought for a moment then replied, “Nothing. This is my other home. My mother told me to stay here to take care of her. This is my grandfather and grandmother's house first.” Xin Mei replied lying.

“Why did you close it again?” lei Shi asked in astonishment after seeing Xin Mei shut the door again.

“We take a walk. I ran away after drinking wine yesterday, so, let's do it again.”

“But, I'm not–”

“Do not be shy!” xin Mei pulled Lei shi's hand and left from there.

When night fell, Xin Mei finally returned to the front of the house earlier. He lifted his face looking at how sinister the house looked. But the girl had very positive thoughts towards the house and, made her not think about the killers and ghosts that might inhabit the house.

There were some rooms filled with light on the second floor, but the light was dim and yellow, it looked like it was some candle or lantern that was about to die.

Xin Mei opened the main door. The smell of dust immediately pierced through his nostrils, making him cover his mouth and nose.

He had thought about just going out and looking for another inn. But curiosity kept him moving forward.

Three steps ahead, the door closed abruptly. Xin Mei looked at him and was surprised.

He ran and wanted to open the door. But before he reached the door, suddenly a cold and mysterious female voice called out to him.

Xin Mei looked at the woman.

A woman dressed in black stood at his place earlier.

Xin Mei knew the woman, she was none other than the woman she met at the brothel.

“You came again, miss, what made you enter this place? Would you like to stay at home in?”

Xin Mei nodded in doubt.

“Cute me.” The woman then turned and climbed the stairs. He brought Xin Mei into a room. After opening it, he said, “Sorry, the service is not good, but later I will tell someone to clean it. Is it okay for last night?”

“No mistress, let me clean it.”

“Alright, for free, I know about you. I stay first.”

The woman then left.

Xin Mei then went in and cleaned the room. Dust filled the room, it seemed like the room had not been occupied or opened for a long time because it was slightly damp. But all his stuff is still good.

No matter how much he asked, the result remained he did not know, because the feeling appeared suddenly out of nowhere.

He then looked outside feeling the chill tonight without knowing if the black-robed figure continued to approach him.

The bathroom room is made of wood and a little big, but the figure is like it has no sound when walking.

The sword glittered towards the floor.

When it was very close, the man raised his sword, just then Xin Mei turned her head. He was shocked and the sword was swung.

Whuss!

The pain was not felt, but a warm liquid dripped from above him.

The moment he opened his eyes, a hand holding the sword blade of the figure, the warm liquid was none other than the blood from his hand being injured.

The person kicked the figure, then darted. A short fight happened. Not long after, that guy won it. She was none other than Tang Li, out of nowhere she appeared.

But the figure he killed turned into a collection of black smoke and disappeared.

“I'm just passing by, if later the killer comes, I won't come.”

“Wait, your hand hurt.”

“Not important.”

Tang Li wanted to leave immediately, but Xin Mei rushed to hold her hand and pulled her to the side of the bed.

“Do you want to play around?”

“Remove your perverted attitude.”

Although Xin Mei's body was covered in a white cloth that revealed the indentation and beauty of her body, she did not care at all.

“Save your hand.”

Tang Li did.

Xin Mei took out a knife and cut a bit of Tang Li's shirt and used it to bandage his wound.

“Good, done, you can now go.”

Tang Li stood up and walked towards the window while saying, “You better not have to do that.”

Xin Mei felt surprised. But he did not try to resist it, what Tang Li said was right, he should not do that, Tang Li was his enemy, he should not care about it, not the other way around.

“You're right.”

“Guests are not invited to leave just like that. You have to fix this room like before.” Suddenly the house owner woman appeared at the door staring at Tang Li coldly.

“Sorry, I don't care.”

“If you don't want to, don't blame me.”

The woman pulled the sword she was carrying, then galloped forward.

Tang Li turned around and made the same move.

Not long after, the ringing of the sword blades sounded in the room.

Both the woman and Tang Li both did not show any exertion; both of their faces were cold as if they were like cold-blooded killers or someone with no feelings.

Sparks of fire adorned both their blades.

The woman drew her sword, then turned it back, moved it to one hand, then swung it forward.

Tang Li responded with a backward motion, but the woman jumped small and pointed her sword tip.

Tang!!
