Embroidery Girl
chapter 42: is this love?

Before Xin Mei reacted, her mother continued her words with an adorable face, as if recalling memories she had passed through, either with that person or with others.

“That boy once drank milk from me.... I also called her by her mother's name. That time... Her mother left because she heard her husband was hurt by training too hard. And, she's a mother of three days. When her mother came back, she looked pale and took her child without saying anything.”

Xin Mei was so curious about what her parents had to do with Tang Li's parents, that it made her mother look like she was remembering something and Tang Li's mother fully gave her child to take care of for three days.

With hesitation, Xin Mei asked about that.

“your father and his father are rivals in the pursuit of power. The boy's father was always defeated by your father. Therefore, he sought power in the way of the devil. We have no other way but to kill him and his family. However, his son escaped, and we never found him again, until you grew up.”

Xin Mei did not know, what to say after hearing all the truth. Whether he should react happily because it is not wrong or sad because his mother and father did something that made him devastated.

“Mei’er, forgive us.”

“Why should I think about it? Father and mother have done a good deed, it's just that maybe he doesn't understand what really happened.”

“we always do our best, it's just that it's bad for you. We became parents who failed to make you happy.”

“no mother, I will always be cheerful as before. The boy who doesn't know about that woman isn't so bad about me. He always helps me when in trouble.”

“Is that true?” his mother asked with a deep gaze, like wanting to see if his son just wanted to calm him down.

“Why don't you believe it? I never lied to mom.”

“Why are you here?”

Xin Mei was silent. His mouth was hard to tell his previous memories. But not long after, he was finally able to answer, “I was stabbed in the back. But he's not the one who did it... There's a girl who wants to kill me.”

“The kid tried to save you?”

Xin Mei nodded. “But he was off guard back then.”

“How could the man who killed your father not protect you? He deliberately wanted to kill you.”

“But... Why did he protect me all this time? If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it a long time ago,” said xin mei.

“She has plans.”

Xin Mei wanted to say, but she suddenly remembered about the figure that said Tang Li betrayed her and that strange dream.

“Mother, you're right. Maybe he has a plan.”

Mother Xin Mei smiled and said, “You are still the same as before, my son.” Her mother then stroked her hair and slowly disappeared.

Xin became confused and called out to her mother several times. But there was no answer, and the longer he did, the more his voice disappeared and dissipated. Then he suddenly fell into the darkness and shouted.

And, finally..... Xin Mei opened her eyes again. He with a weak body saw a fight that was almost over with a victory on Tang Li's side. Both were seriously injured.

“What should I do now?”

Xin Mei was worried, did she have to save the girl who now looked grown up or just look at her?

Xin Mei then shouted loudly, stopping the fight.

Tang Li looked at him.

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

After making several attacks, Tang Li finally managed to surpass the fight against An Hua.

He was still standing, however, his body was already filled with many scratches. Although it was invisible because the wound always healed after a few seconds, it still made him feel pain. Moreover, if he was now in a different realm, of course, it would be very difficult for him, even though he was one of the strongest people.

At this moment he turned his head towards Xin Mei who was still lying unconscious. However, whether it was her illusion or her imagination, she was like hearing Xin Mei shout.

After making sure it was only her imagination, she then looked at An Hua who had been injured. The eagle he had been carrying was already lying just like that at the side with blood rushing down.

An Hua groaned. How could the elang he loved so much die just like that with a move from the man in front of him? It made him angry, moreover, this was the nature that his mother had created, the man in front of him should be weaker than in reality. He should have killed her.

An Hua stuck his wand onto the ground and said, “If I can't win today, then you won't be able to either!”

Just as he said his last word, several black pillars appeared around him.

Then, a very strong earthquake shook the place. Cracks by cracks formed there.

Water emerged from the ground like a tsunami with a height of hundreds of meters.

“Happy enjoying!” An Hua smiled cunningly, and disappeared as the water pressure emerged from beneath him.

Tang Li cursed the girl, then looked at Xin Mei. He then put his two swords together and threw them up.

The sword then swirled around and multiplied into thousands of swords. In the sky, it was like birds and arrows.

The swords moved towards Xin Mei and became her shield, like a neatly arranged sword tower.

Right at that moment, Tang Li was swept away by the water.

But in the sky, a round-shaped rainbow appeared. The rainbow is brightly colored. Then from there, appeared a pure and shining white-colored sword.

The explosion occurred as the tip of the sword slid in, splitting the sea. An enormous wave was seen around him as the sword started to enter.

It was like a terrible natural disaster....

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

Xin Mei opened her eyes. He felt cold, then got up and looked around him.

Around it, there were only trees and the night sky. The voices of owls and some night creatures enlivened that night.

“It turns out you're aware.”

Xin Mei was surprised and looked back.

Tang Li was there with a face as usual.

“Why did you kill him..?” Xin Mei asked in a poignant tone.

Tang Li felt confused and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Why did you kill that girl? I feel very familiar with him.”.

“If he doesn't die, then we'll die. Quickly stand up, let's go from here.”

Tang Li walked over.

“T-Wait. How can I walk if my legs hurt and I feel weak too. But, by the way how can I recover from that severe wound?”

Tang Li approached her. “That's because you're still important to me.”

Tang Li then carried the girl, making her face red.

“Release! I don't need this, I just need to sit by the side of the road.”

Tang Li nodded and sat Xin Mei under the tree.

Xin Mei felt disappointed with Tang Li, she thought, the man in front of her would persuade to come along and seduce her, but it turned out that she was completely unaffected, despite possibly knowing she was angry.

“Tang Li, I want to get my pendant and sword back, if you want to take me away.”

“I've said the agreement before.”

“I feel disappointed! You died and almost got me killed.... You said I was still important to you, but why did you let me go without any protection. You disappoint me. And.... Who the hell are you? What's your purpose in saving me? I still can't calm down before you say it clearly.”

Tang Li then took out a pendant and a sword, then extended it to Xin Mei, but she did not accept it.

“You know, I don't have anyone in this world anymore, so please, tell me the truth.”.

“I also want to get compensation for your actions to me.”

Both of Xin Mei's soft hands grabbed Tang Li's cheeks. Her pretty face met with red and approached her. He then looked at Tang Li's bright and shining eyes, yet looked lonely.

He closed his eyes and felt a soft sensation and heart palpitations.

After that, keep your distance.

Tang Li did not fight back at all, he thought, what he had done all this time was wrong. In addition, she also felt a refreshing new feeling after doing that kiss.

She looked at Xin Mei's blushing and extremely beautiful face. He saw the girl shining brightly tonight.

Xin Mei took her sword and pendant. He looked at his pendant for a moment, then looked at his Sword before pulling it.

“It's a little darker than before..” Xin Mei looked at Tang Li. “Did you trade it?”

Tang Li did not reply, instead saying, “the fireworks party will start would you not want to see it?”

Xin Mei jerked. “you're right!” He hurried to his feet, as if nothing had happened before.

“I guessed, you tricked me..”.

Xin Mei was shocked and regretted her actions. But, she then hurriedly pulled Tang Li's hand and pulled him away.

“Tang Li, your hands are rough porch, you must have worked too hard all this time.”

They keep walking away.

“your hands are also a little rough. As a woman, you should have looked after her.”

“This is you!”

Tang Li did not answer anymore.
