Chapter 46: the ninth lightning sword
After hearing the question, only then did the two people inside the room realize someone.
But Tang Li still looked at the window, as if he had not heard it.
Meanwhile Xin Mei with a sad face said that she had started better than before.
“Eat this porridge. With the nutrients contained in it, you will quickly recover.”
“Emm, thank you Jia.”
Jia Hu nodded and walked out.
All day Xin Mei rested on the bed and ate the porridge Jia Hu had made. He sometimes talked various things with Tang Li. Although the man seemed to not care about her, he knew the man was very considerate of her. If he did not care about her, the man would not be willing to stand up and wait for her.
The next day, they did the same. This event lasted for 3 days. On the third day, Xin Mei felt better. He could stand up and walk slowly, but he could not walk far.
As the village girl of the adult body and the soul of the little boy, she did not care about his pain. He had grown tired of just a few days of staying in bed and seeing butterflies and sunlight. He wants to go look out.
As she walked a few steps, her room felt swirling, and she ended up staggered, but Tang Li quickly embraced her.
“Thank you.”
Tang Li took her sitting under a tree. Not far from there, Jia Hu was cleaning rice from dirt and rocks with a lampid. The voices he caused asked for a tone.
Xin Mei liked it. Not long after that he grew bored, then looked the other way, where the blue butterflies were flying.
“Tang Li, I want that butterfly.” Xin Mei pointed at where the butterflies were.
“I don't want.”
Xin Mei was annoyed to hear that. “If you don't want to, let me do it.”
Xin Mei wanted to rush to her feet, but she stopped when Tang Li stopped her. “Shut up here, I'll catch him.”
Xin Mei smiled. “I'll be happy if you can catch him.”
Tang Li then went to catch the existing blue butterfly. He walked slowly and reached for the butterfly with ease. Unlike what Xin Mei did, she had to sneak around to get it. That made the girl a little upset.
After obtaining it, Tang Li then went inside to retrieve the box that Xin Mei had previously used. He put all the butterflies in the box, then came back out.
“This.”
Xin Mei happily accepted it. He stared with those butterfly eyes. Not long after, he found something inside the butterfly and said to Tang Li. “Tang Li, the butterfly does not have one leg. So sorry for him.”
Tang Li who was indeed a very cold base did not care what Xin Mei said. He just nodded. Yet Xin Mei also did not care about Tang Li's attitude, she had gotten to know this insensitive man's attitude. So he got used to this attitude
But she still believed, Tang Li was protecting her greatly.
After being satisfied looking at the butterfly, he then looked at Jia Hu who separated the rice from its seeds. The sound produced has a tone. The woman sometimes switches from right hand to left hand to do her job. He enjoyed how the woman did her job.
Suddenly Tang Li stood up. “I go for a minute.”
“You can't be long.”
Tang Li nodded and left from there.
Xin Mei looked at the man walking away down the Hill. After she was nowhere to be seen, she looked back at Jia Hu, but she had now finished her task and approached Xin Mei.
“Jia Hu, thank you for making me porridge every day.”
“It's okay May, I'm used to it. As the host, I should have served you well.”
He then sat down beside Xin Mei. “Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, and this says the porridge you have given. If without it, I might still be in bed.”
Jia Hu laughed crisply, revealing a very mature and beautiful face shape. “Xin May likes to joke.” She then stopped laughing and asked seriously, “Xin May, do you really love her?”
Xin Mei was surprised, then sighed. He then looked down at the hill, which was where Tang Li was sitting enjoying the wind. “I don't know, do I really love her. I find it hard to accept what he has done to me and my family. Remembering that incident, it always made me hate, want to kill and want to get away from it. But when I left or she, I felt like I missed her and didn't want to let her go, even I didn't want to marry anyone other than her. If any of us die first, I want him first to die, so that he does not weep for me.”
“Xin may, you really have loved her, but you are trying not to love her. But the heart of man never lies, you will love him, even if he has ruined your family.”
“Hu is right, I tried to forgive him, although I know, all this started from father and mother, then I became the impact.”
“I don't know. It just happened. Tang Li seemed to have a strong attraction, which made me want to be with her. Maybe because she's the one who's always with me under any circumstances.”
Jia Hu smiled mischievously. “Xin may, have you kissed her several times?”
It was like there was a huge fire on Xin Mei's face; her face was suddenly flushed red like a tomato. If Jia Hu asked about that, maybe three to four times he had kissed her. He didn't want to answer, it was embarrassing for him.
Jia Hu laughed. “Xin may turned out to have kissed.”
“Jia Hu, don't embarrass me.”

Prince Lei Shi sat down at his desk. He had been sitting from morning until now thinking of the beautiful girl who had once been his friend. He thought all morning, why did the girl not come to see him. He was sure the letter he had sent had been received by him.
Four days have passed, the girl has not yet arrived. He had visited several times where the location invited him to meet. ‘Did Xin Mei forget about it?’ he asked, then shook his head. ‘impossible. if he forgot, he should be able to come another day. But if he thinks I'm not coming again.... Ah.... I should have sent him another letter.’
Prince Lei Shi then took out the paper and ink, then started writing.
She had found out where Xin Mei was, but since there was Tang Li, she did not dare to deal with him. It is the same as dealing with death.
He stood up and approached the window. When he wanted to call his bird, suddenly a woman said, “Do you like the Girl?”
Lei Shi quickly turned around. Behind him was a white-clothed woman standing. His presence without any sound, grumbling or signs, made the prince startled and raised his eyebrows.
Even so, the girl was extremely beautiful with white clothes that looked holy and her slim body. His expression was so gentle, like when the grains of rain fell for the first time. She was none other than Ming Na, the girl that Xin Mei often referred to as the lady from heaven.
Although like an ordinary beautiful girl, a strong aura emanated from her, which indicated that the girl was not an indiscriminate person.
“S-Who are you?!”
That aura, made Lei Shi afraid. He was afraid that the man would come to kill him. As crown prince, his life was severely threatened and the imperial people were eager to kill him, especially for his brothers who wanted to seize his position.
Ming Na did not answer him. “If you want the girl, I will help you. The girl will be yours forever.”
“Li Xin May?”
“Not only that, you will also get protection from me.”
Lei Shi then thought for a moment. “What if you trick me?”
Ming Na said seriously, “I don't like to cheat. Terms are only one, lightning sword to nine.”
Lei Shi was shocked. “Grounders to nine?” then he thought for a while.
The ninth lightning sword is the legacy sword of the previous emperor who became the first emperor, and continues to be passed down until now. But after several generations, the sword was finally stored in the city with very strict guards. If anyone dares to try to steal it, then only death will come to him.
The sword had a terrifying power. The first emperor used it to kill and destroy his enemies.
“If you don't want to, not only that girl you don't get, maybe even the throne of the empire. With that sword as a condition, I will always protect you and guarantee everything you want,” said Ming Na influencing.
“You tricked me.”
“I didn't cheat you. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But I hope your decision doesn't make you regret it later.”
Ming Na turned around and walked away.
Lei Shi thought for a while, then stopped Ming Na. “I agree.”
Ming Na stopped and smiled with satisfaction.
......................
The guards had been prepared to stand in front of the gate that housed the nine lightning swords.
Lei Shi crouched on top of the tree wearing black clothes with a veil covering his face. While Ming Na remained in her white dress and stood up. For him there is nothing to hide in committing this crime.
Lei Shi danced his sword together with Ming Na.
They looked at each other and nodded, then jumped down.
