Embroidery Girl
chapter 43: obscurity
After they left, Yulan emerged from the trees. He looked at the two of them with a flat and empty look.
Suddenly, the wind blew from the trees, carrying its leaves. All of the leaves gathered in front of Yulan, forming a girl figure.
Yulan stroked her cheeks, which only felt cold.
“Mother failed...”
The figure raised his hand and held Yulan's hand. He shook his head twice, before he was caught in the wind.
Yulan's body collapsed, then she cried while staring at the ground filled with tears. There was nothing painful for her other than losing her husband and child at the same time.
A black-robed man suddenly appeared in front of him while carrying a single long sword.
A aura of death shot out from his body.
“When you receive your punishment...”.
......................
Lei Shi looked at Tang Li and Xin Mei from afar. They were standing staring at the fireworks in the sky.
Jealousy and anger surged in his heart. Now he can't take the girl away. If he was reckless to take it, then he would have to face off against one of the strongest figures in sword arts.
He clenched his right hand and hit the wooden rod beside him.
Her guard felt confused about what she should do, so just asked, “the noble, do we have to report this to her noble consort?”
“No. Let's go!”
They then leave from there.
......................
Xin Mei heard a voice, so she turned her head to look towards the grove of trees. He smiled sweetly, then turned his face to look at the fireworks.
Not long after a few fireworks throws, Xin Mei asked, “Can you put up this locket of mine?”
Tang Li looked at him. Without replying, she took the pendant from Xin Mei's hand then put it up.
Xin Mei's pretty face looked at Tang Li attentively, making it seem like she was plunging into a very deep ocean. Xin Mei was like a very refreshing sea goddess.
“T-thank you..”
Tang Li suddenly regained his senses and nodded.
Xin Mei then held Tang Li's hand and said, “You know, my mother once said, if we never hold the hand of someone closest to us, that's the one we're closest to, we'll never know him deeply, even though you've known him for years.”
Xin Mei did not argue. “Maybe, but after I thought there was a point as well. There are several networks connected from the hand to the brain, therefore, I trust him.”
......................
A girl standing not far from the river, she looked at Tang Li and Xin Mei with a sly smile.
“You should end up the same as me...”.
......................
From a distance looking at the pair of lovers, jing Kaigun looked at him peacefully. His long black hair was blown off in the wind, occasionally revealing both of his hands behind his back. He then moved his hand forward and slightly raised.
A soft, white hand decorated with a red woven bracelet holds Jing Kaigun's hand.
Beside Jing Kaigun, there was a woman standing very elegantly. Her hair is not too long. However, it has a bright black color.
On his flat forehead, slid a few strands of hair and twitched sideways.
Her ears are decorated with a fresh rose, and are white. The girl then grabbed the bangs covering part of her face.
“so... Are you satisfied to see me in this way, now?” the girl looked at jing kaigun with a gentle gaze, like the first snow to fall in winter.
Jing kaigun nodded. “Terror has passed..” Jing Kaigun looked at Xin Mei and Tang Li who were far away in the river. “It should be a special moment.”
“I feel annoyed... I want to kill the bastard woman myself, but the angel of death first arrived from me.”
The girl looked towards the river. “Why does the person you know love to kill, not do that?”
“He is not unwilling, but something is blocking him.”
“What?”
“I don't know.”
The girl sighed, probably out of annoyance at the remark. He then turned and walked. “I don't like looking women, it makes me look weak.”
Jing Kaigun did not let her, he held her wrist.
The girl turned her head dazzlingly and looked at Jing Kaigun with clear eyes.
“We have to leave this village, after you pack your things. My world must be a mystery to be solved.”
He then left and jing Kaigun let him.
