OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 454 HARDHEADED
Somehow minutes had passed, Weini drowned her face and rested in the cold hands of Li San.
His consciousness had to be kept under control so as not to absorb the energy of his father who lived a little. No one dared to disturb him, even though Xiao Jun wanted to get close and give his spirit but he held on. A warm whirr of energy felt by Weini's sensitive sixth sense, the girl immediately looked up
to find out what happened. And his eyes were rounded when he saw Li San had already opened his eyes and gazed at the ceiling of the room.
“Ayaah? Ayaaah..” Strangled Weini with a big smile and as much as a cry after crying. And it was even happier for being the first person Li San saw when he opened his eyes.
Li San slowly turned his gaze towards the side, he was still confused by what was happening and the circumstances around him. His old eyes clashed with the pair of pretty girl eyes he had never seen before.
“Dad...” Lirih Weini again called out in a soft voice.
The call was momentarily digested by Li San, although no one had told him, but his instincts as a father were so certain that the one sitting before him was Yue Hwa, his youngest daughter.
“Hwa...” Li San shrieked in a very weak voice.
Everyone who had been standing at the back, finally rushed to Li San's bed. Xiao Jun stood behind Weini, while the others swarmed on each side of the bed to the brim. Liang Jia stood beside Weini and held onto her daughter's shoulder. Li San looked at Liang Jia whom he recognized, but his consciousness was not yet good enough to stare around.
“At last you woke up too... Our son's home, you see? This is Yue Hwa, our daughter.” Lirih Liang Jia who could not hide his lewd smile, he showed Weini to Li San who was still slightly agape.
“Dad, thank you from Yue Hwa.” Weini muttered then bowed in a sitting position.
Li San looked at her fixedly, her eyes began to glaze over and her hands moved slowly wanting to be lifted up to touch Weini. Weini realized her father's intentions, she also brought her face closer so that it could be touched by Li San. A moment later, the wrinkled hand touched her right cheek, Weini felt that touch was meaningful though
with weak strength. Like a dream come true, the father was willing to show affection to him.
“Hwa, you are already big.. beautiful.” Li San smiled faintly, not because he was reluctant to widen his lip carvings but his still weak body, difficult to force.
“Iya, dad... Yue Hwa was already big now. Fathering... Quickly recover yes, strong let us go home soon.” Pinta Weini who was still trying to speak clearly without crying.
Li San nodded weakly, he tried to circulate his gaze but failed. “Jia, anyone here?” Ask Li San Lirih.
Liang Jia brought her face closer to hear what her husband said, but it was Weini who ended up
whispered to his mother until Liang Jia nodded in understanding. “Ah... This is all complete, my husband. Five of our daughters gathered, today Yue Xin and her husband went home on a visit to our house, Yue Fang since yesterday had already returned home, Yue Yan had only arrived this morning and Yue Hwa, Wei's bodyguard, had just arrived, Xin Er, Xiao Jun and his two older brothers, as well as Wen Ting were also here.” Jawah Liang Jia slowly mentioned one by one the name so that Li San could understand.
“Wei Ming Fung? Where is she?” Li San Lirih.
Haris who heard his real name called, instantly shifted closer and reflexively made Xin Er who was
standing beside him shifted to give place. He approached Weini's place to fit highlighted by Li San who could not move his neck. At that very instant, the gaze between him and the man who used to send bodyguards to slash his head met. Haris instantly paid his formal respects with such pride
he will be the guardian of the Li clan.
“Hamba Wei Ming Fung facing big master Li.” Haris Lantang.
Li San nodded weakly, his hand moving from Weini's cheek then aimed at Haris with the help of Liang Jia who supported the weak hand. “Wake up, don't kneel! Come here..” Li San gave the order.
bridging their current limited communication.
Dad, do you feel my father's energy is so weak?
Haris answered in his heart. Yeah, this is not a good sign. You have to be strong, no matter what.
Is there no other way, Dad? I failed to transfer energy to him, is it possible because I am still weak? Dad, can you try it? Pinta Weini in her heart.
Haris fell silent, then replied inwardly. I'm not sure, but I'll try.
Weini was quite relieved to hear that, at least the two of them who understood this magic were trying to help Li San who despite being awake but his life aura felt weak. While the others would not be as sensitive as the two of them, to the others when Li San woke up was a good sign they were looking forward to.
“Wei, I'm sorry.. in the past much trouble you.” Li San whose gaze did not turn
from Haris.
Haris nodded slowly, “Hamba did not feel bothered, it was my duty to carry out the orders given to me.” Haris replied humbly, he is sincere and holds no grudge against Li San.
Li San shook his head even though it was very slow, “No, I remain guilty. Raising my daughter
being alone is not easy. You must have had a lot of trouble in the past, this is all because of my fault.” Li San, just thinking about it made her tears come along. Seeing Weini who grew up beautiful, very beautiful in fact, saw Weini's polite attitude and did not hold a grudge against him, Li San was sure that Haris had successfully educated his son. Unlike her who was almost never involved in raising her four daughters. He instead placed more importance on power and sent away to his four daughters, letting
they grew up without direct upbringing from him.
“Hamba does not feel difficulties, miss Yue Hwa is very independent since childhood. Miss is also growing well as she hopes to boast of her masters and mistresses later on.” Haris said he humbled himself and did not glare at receiving praise.
Li San smiled bitterly, he regretted being late in realizing that Haris was the most reliable and loyal bodyguard he had. “I have to make amends, just say so... What do you want for compensation?” Li San slowly. Liang Jia brought her face closer to hear what the old man was talking about, but Haris and Weini could hear clearly from where they were standing.
Haris shook his head slowly, “Big master doesn't need much thought, servant doesn't have any desire in return. All of this I did because of my duty as a bodyguard, living and dead servant remains a guardian of the Li clan.” Haris said with a serious face.
Li San was aghast, the better Haris was towards him, the greater the burden he felt. He didn't know what to do to make up for it. In the silence of the great master, Haris tried to channel his energy to Li San. Weini could feel the tremors, as well as Xiao Jun who was sensitive to the movements of the Wei clan's magic that was being activated. Initially Haris thought it was easy, but when the energy he sent mentally and turned to him, just like Weini, he and Weini finally could only look at each other.
“I want to go back home now!” Li San's order was silent for a moment.
Liang Jia looked at her and tried to convince her husband, “You just realized, the doctor is here to
checking you. It's best to stay treated here until your condition is completely restored.”
“True dad, here are more adequate tools than at home. It's best to stay here until the doctor lets you go home.” Timpal Yue Yan as the first child and felt responsible for supporting his mother, it was all for the good of Li San.
Li San shook his head, he knew it was Yue Yan's voice despite not glancing at him. His stubbornness began to appear and he did not like his orders being ignored. “I want to go home now!” His words were loud, and no one dared to refute him.
