Killer Queen's
Episode 14

In Yuoyui, Liu Xingsheng was agitated at the loss of Xiao Nuan. He found Xiao Nuan's hairpin near the way home. It was obvious that the flops were crushed into pieces.

After asking the elite soldier he immediately guided the troops to look for his wife. Feng shui looked for Xiao Nuan around where he had last been.

Liu Xingsheng went around who knew Xiao Nuan was there. It was already morning but there was not the slightest hint of Xiao Nuan.

"Stop the search."

"Why?"

"Xiao Nuan is not here, continue tomorrow."

"Yan, my wife was kidnapped."

"Xiao Nuan is not a spoiled woman, she is the master of the sky Goddess. His departure must be some reason he'll be back as soon as possible."

Liu Xingsheng heard Yan say, after all Yan had known Xiao Nuan far longer than he did. From his skill as well Xiao Nuan was superior.

Other place

In the end, Xiao Nuan left with the mysterious man. He was taken to his house on the hill. Xiao Nuan looked at the entire Xili city from here.

"My house has only one room, you use it for rest."

Xiao Nuan nodded he went inside while the mysterious man went somewhere. Inside Xiao Nuan stared at the clothes that had already been torn apart.

"The damage to my clothes is severe." Xiao Nuan murmured.

He had since used telepathy to communicate with Leng, but could not even drain back the energy he had accumulated.

Xiao Nuan opened his veil, he saw that there was a wound beside his cheek. "Ck, fucking twig." Xiao Nuan murmured. The man came back he entered without knocking.

"Sorry," the man directly turned his back on Xiao Nuan.

Seeing that Xiao Nuan said. "My clothes are still complete why are you turning around?" The man replied that he felt disrespectful.

His hand held out the wrapped clothes.

"It's my sister's, you wear it first" he said after that he returned outside.

Xiao Nuan stared for a while then he immediately changed clothes.

Because it was almost dawn her body was so tired Xiao Nuan chose to sleep.

***

Xiao Nuan woke up as the sun entered the crack of his room. The air here was very cold much different from the places he had visited.

Xiao Nuan walked out of the room and headed towards the courtyard of the house. It looks like the guy was sitting there playing an instrument last night, "Are you awake?"

Xiao Nuan nodded.

"Thank you for giving me a place to rest."

The man smiled sweetly and said it was okay. "I accidentally saw you get hurt." He would hunt at night for morning food.

It was unexpected that he was waiting for was not an animal but a graceful woman descending from above. It was obvious that his hands were bound but an aura of majesty was still emanating.

Under the moonlight the man saw a woman trying to open the rope even he saw the woman using spirit energy.

But due to injury and some reasons the energy is not controlled. For pity this man gave her dagger.

He thought he had only met up there, but he saw this woman also under the tree holding her hand maybe the wound was getting worse.

Because it feels bad a woman in the middle of the forest with a wounded state. The man took the woman to his little house.

Xiao Nuan sat down beside the man. "Sorry before, my name is Xiao Nuan." After saying that Xiao Nuan stared towards the musical instrument.

"Your musical instruments not only emit beautiful tones but also poison" Xiao Nuan said involuntarily.

The man looked very surprised to hear that.

"You recognize this device?" Xiao Nuan nodded his hand touching the strings of the musical instrument.

"There is an iron powder and these strings are made of sharp iron which is designed into strings. Tools like this only apply to hitmen disguised as amusements."

The man stared in astonishment as Xiao Nuan's words were indeed true. "Think very accurately,". Xiao Nuan chuckled at a tool like this already unworthy of use in his world.

"My name is Niu Mayleen, as you'd guess I'm a retired hit man" he said.

Xiao Nuan laughed softly because of the honesty of this man named Niu Mayleen. "I know a murderer won't reveal his identity for free."

"Miss Xiao Nuan, you are indeed very intelligent."

Xiao Nuan got up from his seat he was stalking some places. "Pension? The building is only for a place of rest. It can be concluded that this was made for hiding or resting."

Niu Mayleen nodded, the woman before her is truly admirable. A few hours ago he gave the medicine to Xiao Nuan as he continued to concoct.

When he woke up what was released by his mouth was very accurate to make himself amazed and amazed. "Miss Xiao Nuan, are you a noble?"

Xiao Nuan sighed.

"Don't think because of my yesterday, you think of her as a high-class woman" Xiao Nuan said.

"But it is like that, your clothes are made of silk surely you are a noble princess."

Xiao Nuan smiled as he walked a few steps straight to the river. It turned out that Niu Mayleen was deliberately looking for a strategic place to rest.

Xiao Nuan sat on a rock by the river. "Women are so beautiful even with simple clothes a graceful aura remains enveloping her." Niu Mayleen thought.

Niu Mayleen walked towards him.

"Miss Xiao Nuan, you enjoy my little hut." , Xiao Nuan nodded he did like this kind of place.

"Mr Niu Mayleen, is it here far away to town?" Niu Mayleen nodded. And say some from here will get to the capital Xili.

"I'd like to ask you a favor, Mr. Niu Mayleen."

Niu Mayleen looked at Xiao Nuan.

"I have to buy some stuff because Xili and Yuoyui are quite far away."

Niu Mayleen nodded in agreement. Since Xiao Nuan had just woken up he went to the kitchen to prepare something. While Niu Mayleen was away, Xiao Nuan approached the instrument.

"I've played this before" his hand plucked the strings gently and then slowly drifted away in the play of the song from the instrument.

So drifting Xiao Nuan did not realize that Niu Mayleen was in front of him with a tray in her hand. "Sorry Mr. Niu Mayleen."

"It's okay, your game is very good" Niu Mayleen praised.

In Niu Mayleen's heart was astonished as to why Xiao Nuan could play his instrument unharmed. If ordinary people musical instruments have cut off the finger that touched it.

"Is she the special girl that the prophecy says?" niu Mayleen.

Xiao Nuan put down the musical instrument, Niu Mayleen offered food to Xiao Nuan. However Xiao Nuan refused for another reason.

"Going to the city takes time, later you can faint again." Xiao Nuan was speechless thinking until he finally received some food from Niu Mayleen.

****

A few hours later.

They reached the city, now here is very crowded because many people from the village shop or sell their produce.

Not a few Xiao Nuan saw the woman being sold as a servant. "You I can trust people" Xiao Nuan said softly as he looked at the woman who would be enslaved.

"Miss Xiao Nuan, what do you want to shop for?" ask Niu Mayleen.

Xiao Nuan only stared for a while then refocused his walking. He stopped by several shops ranging from clothes, medicine, and others. Niu Mayleen was speechless because Xiao Nuan seemed to have nothing but was able to buy all of these items.

Xiao Nuan was interested in the casino he passed by, his mischievous idea made Niu Mayleen frown. "Miss Xiao Nuan, I will buy some medicine for stock."

Xiao Nuan said just buy it, he will wait in the restaurant in front of the casino. After that Niu Mayleen left Xiao Nuan for the herbal shop.

Xiao Nuan took out a silver coin.

"Come on, this time it's lucky" Xiao Nuan said into the casino.

Don't think that Xiao Nuan always wins gambling. He lost several times playing gambling, not intentionally but he was so bored that he let them win.

gambling in this very ancient era naturally Xiao Nuan could guess what they would do if Xiao Nuan had a jackpot.

Xiao Nuan went inside instantly became a concern because it was rare for a woman to enter a gambling establishment let alone without a disguise like Xiao Nuan.

Because it is considered trivial Xiao expend the expertise to win some games that drain money. "Great woman" muttered Niu Mayleen.

He just lied about buying medicine, actually he wanted to investigate what Xiao Nuan wanted to do. "It's just that he doesn't look poor, is very good at gambling."

Xiao Nuan was bored, he left the casino just like that. A little more, he won a lot. For him money is not the main thing now the needs have been met.

It was time to go back and make a potion to immediately heal his body. She wanted to go home soon because it was certain that her husband Liu Xingsheng would be very worried.

Xiao Nuan waited in the restaurant in front of the casino not long after Niu Mayleen arrived, he brought a few packs of medicine. Because their business is done so go home soon.

In the afternoon they arrived at Niu Mayleen's residence again. Xiao Nuan borrowed the furnace and took out the medicinal ingredients, Liu Xingsheng went inside to do something that Xiao Nuan did not know about.

Xiao Nuan meditated on gathering all the focal points, then slowly he took out herbs to process into medicine or pills.

By meditating not only medicine but Xiao Nuan was able to refine his once chaotic energy. A while later Xiao Nuan took one of the pills and ate it.

He took a deep breath for a while, then took it out in a hurry. "Uhkuk ... Damn, it turns out that the healer gave a small dose of poison." maki Xiao Nuan.

Liu Xingsheng definitely did not know that the medicine the healer had prepared already had its poison. "It is only fitting that when fighting I feel a chest of pain and burning. My energy was deliberately messed up."

Xiao Nuan again ate the pill, he closed his eyes neutralizing the toxins that were in his bloodstream.

After a while Xiao Nuan's hand let out a black smoke and a few drops of black blood. "It seems to be a boring palace physician."

If Xiao Nuan had already said that then sooner or later the Yuoyui palace would have heard the news of the physician's death. "Take an accurate guess, Alchemist, then what else can Miss Xiao Nuan do. I'm really amazed."

Xiao Nuan raised his head, he saw Niu Mayleen was a few steps away from him. Looks like he's very different from before, "Just a self-preservation skill."

Niu Mayleen knew that Xiao Nuan was deliberately humbling himself, this kind of woman who always shakes the faith. "If this kind of skill, why are you hurt?"

"There are some people who don't like me." the remark was instantly understood by Niu Mayleen. As a fellow assassin is certainly a short word but contains meaning.

"Mr Niu Mayleen, I'm sorry that I'm going to hitchhike for a few days" Xiao Nuan said.

"Your words are like a psychopath."

Niu Mayleen laughed out loud.

"Miss Xiao Nuan, you are too outspoken. But as a woman it's very rare to have a personality like yours, unless you're the same hit man."

Xiao Nuan chuckled. "I'm a hit man? It's just that I have a new mission anyway."

"Past time? New mission? It looks like you haven't retired." Xiao Nuan said that he had retired a long time ago but the mission this time was not from a profession.

"What mission? If I could know."

Xiao Nuan shook his head. "This is a personal mission", Niu Mayleen instantly knew what Xiao Nuan meant. Surely the name of a personal mission is a disguise for the word revenge.

"Huh, I have a lot of personal missions. But it doesn't mean anything anymore."

"You mean Mr Niu Mayleen?"

Niu Mayleen looked at Xiao Nuan then said something. "Call me Niu Mayleen don't wear master. I feel like a hit man again."

Xiao Nuan laughed at Niu Mayleen's words. "Indeed why? That was you even before." Niu Mayleen says it's different now.

"It always stays mass and won't happen again in the future" Niu Mayleen murmured.

Xiao Nuan put some pills on the table. "Past time? your words seem to have forgotten. But Niu Mayleen, you must remember as hard as you can. He'll be back because of your memory."

Niu Mayleen smiled faintly, Xiao Nuan is indeed an assassin for her reasonable words. The figure of Xiao Nuan who was still unfamiliar and so attractive to Niu Mayleen.

"I want to ask, as a hit man have you heard of the great lord Lien Hua of the black kingdom." Niu Mayleen frowned.

"Why are you asking the demon kingdom?" Xiao Nuan said he was only interested in someone from there.

"The demon kingdom is very dangerous, I used to go there to take someone's life."

"But, I can't kill him because he's a mutated demon" Niu Mayleen continued.

Xiao Nuan knew what Niu Mayleen was saying.

"Lien Hua is indeed a mutated demon that is very difficult to fight against." Xiao Nuan replied.

"Lien Hua's? That demon's name is Lien Hua? Why is her name so pretty."

"Lien Hua has the meaning of lotus flower, for a demon of thousands of years mutation is indeed appropriate."

"Because of the attempted murder, I had to lose my sister" Niu Mayleen mused.

The look on Xiao Nuan's face changed, so the clothes he was wearing were now his former sister who died. "If my sister still exists, she's probably about the same age as you, very pretty."

"Why can you die?"

"Lien Hua knew I wanted to kill him, when I got home I found my sister dead with a hollow chest."

Xiao Nuan thought, Lien Hua does not eat the human heart let alone this girl. To the devil it seems very unlikely.

"It wasn't Lien Hua who killed your sister" Xiao Nuan said. Niu Mayleen immediately turned her head towards Xiao Nuan. He said that Lien Hua caused his sister's death.

"Lien Hua is a mutated demon, eating a human heart will only shorten its lifespan" Xiao Nuan said.

"Then who killed my brother?"

"Your house is on a hill with a forest surrounding it." Xiao Nuan looked towards the west. And feel the energy is not foreign, since he lives here the western part always attracts his attention.

"There's got to be a fox village over there." Xiao Nuan pointed west.

"Dox smile?"

Xiao Nuan nodded. He told me that only fox demons live on human hearts and hearts. Moreover, a girl would keep them young.

"The fox's glow was wiped out decades ago!" refute Niu Mayleen. But Xiao Nuan instead asked him to prove that his words were not a lie.

"By the eve, we're going there from here only a few kilos of meters."

Unbelieving Niu Mayleen to agree to Xiao Nuan's remark, he wanted to know if the fox demon had been wiped out.

...****...

Now Xiao Nuan and Niu Mayleen were riding towards the west. On the way Xiao Nuan smeared something onto his body and Niu Mayleen.

"It hides the status of a human being" Xiao Nuan said.

Niu Mayleen was silent, she wondered why there was such a smart and intelligent woman like Xiao Nuan. His advanced thinking and all his actions had a cause.

Some time they arrived at the gate of a village that was so beautiful and crowded. "It's just an ordinary village" said Niu Mayleen.

"Niu meaning of young and cheerful woman, Mayleen meaning of beauty. Your name is like your nature now." Xiao Nuan scorned in a mocking tone.

"Niu Mayleen is my sister's name, because I can't protect her well then her name will live." Niu Mayleen replied.

Xiao Nuan chuckled amusedly, as a mysterious man like Niu Mayleen could have the meaning of a gurgling name. They went into the countryside.

There were many people who greeted me kindly. Again Niu Mayleen said that Xiao Nuan had mistakenly thought this was just an ordinary village from the Xili kingdom.

"Stupid, fox demon can camouflage into a human." Xiao Nuan murmured.

"Look, they're friendly."

Xiao Nuan took out his hand and scratched Niu Mayleen's eye with a pill. "What are you doing!" said Niu Mayleen rubbing her eyes.

"Look at the handsome man." Xiao Nuan said pointing to a man who was talking to someone else.

Niu Mayleen widened her eyes.

"What do you call handsome? He's ugly ever since with pointy ears."

"So you said you didn't believe in fox stealth." It turned out that Xiao Nuan opened his eyes in order to see someone with a real form.

When Niu Mayleen looked towards Xiao Nuan she was surprised. "Why is your hair purple? The eyes and the mark?" He was fixated on seeing Xiao Nuan's true form.

"Don't look at me, but look at them. With a human heart and a human heart they can become anyone."

Niu Mayleen was shocked to the point of not being able to say anything. Xiao Nuan took her to the restaurant that was there. They saw the real food from the restaurant.

"They eat raw meat?" Niu Mayleen was almost hysterical but Xiao Nuan silenced her so as not to attract the attention of many people here.

"Don't be so excited!"

Niu Mayleen nodded, she let go of Xiao Nuan's hand and asked to leave here immediately. "Wait a minute, this isn't a country but a new kingdom of fox demons."

They stared at a large gate not far away. It turned out that several hundred years ago a group of fox demons moved here to establish a new place for them.

"It's best to find the one who killed your sister and then come back."

"This place is a lot of fox stealth, I don't know who killed my sister!", Xiao Nuan patted her on the head. Even a hit man would look stupid.

"You still remember the scent of your sister's body?", Niu Mayleen nodded. He very memorized the scent of his sister's body even in the last few years he always felt the scent of his sister's body around the house.

"If it's like that, come with me." Xiao Nuan took Niu Mayleen to a place that was so crowded. There are many fox demons that vary from ugly to pleasant to look at.

A moment later, Xiao Nuan fell silent in the middle. "Here is the most fitting place, can you smell your sister's body?"

Niu Mayleen looked slowly around, her eyes fixed on a woman who stood her back to them. "My sister's scent comes from her!"

Xiao Nuan walked up to the woman he was pointing at, he turned his body around. Sure enough Niu Mayleen was surprised because her face was exactly like her sister's.

"Mayleen, though,"

Xiao Nuan smacked Niu Mayleen's hand. "He just turned into your sister,". Xiao Nuan took the woman away from there using force.

They stopped in the middle of the forest.

"Who are you, why bring me here?" snarled the fox woman.

"Niu Mayleen, what is she?"

Niu Mayleen approached him, she touched the face of the fox woman. "Right, even his skin was exactly the same.", Xiao Nuan attacked the fox woman.

But it turned out that the fox woman had quite a strong skill. They were involved in the fight, because there was Niu Mayleen the fox woman was captured.

"You know, this beauty of yours has sacrificed an innocent girl!" said Xiao Nuan.

"You mean?" snapped the fox woman.

"You must have killed my sister, and ate her heart." Niu Mayleen snapped.

"What you guys are really saying, I don't know anything."

"The fox smiles are indeed good at theatrics, they are very clever in mouth tactics" Xiao Nuan said.

"Why would you kill a girl who lives alone? Fucking demon!" Niu Mayleen was ready to kill but Xiao Nuan forbade her.

"Don't make war between humans and fox demons." Xiao Nuan crouched down then asked something.

"Why did you take his sister's heart?" ask Xiao Nuan.

The fox lady looked confused.

"What are you saying? Take his sister's heart? I never did anything."

"Talk a lot, your face is just like my sister's. Once again you're talking nonsense I'll finish!"

"Don't, I'm totally honest. I've never met the girl you said!" said the fox woman was frightened by seeing Xiao Nuan's form.

"Then why do you have the same face as her sister?" xiao Nuan asked with a cold look.

The fox woman started to tell stories.

He is Ho Hien, the daughter of the leader of the fox village, because he was born with a poor and ugly life.

Many villagers who cannot accept Ho Hien even he is often ostracized even though their race is the same. Because of this, Ho Hien's mother did not accept it and asked her husband to find a cure for their daughter.

But there is no cure for Ho Hien until finally his father and mother met with a fortune teller who can treat Ho Hien.

They needed the heart and heart of spirit beasts. They searched for months until they finally got it.

Ho Hien did not know that he ate a human heart, because at that time his mother said that this is the heart of a spirit animal that has healing power well.

A few minutes after eating the liver and heart, Ho Hien's body turned into a beautiful and very graceful girl. The bad face disappeared.
