The Shadow Of Princess
Episode 21

Do Jian was lured in with Jienji's question. "What do you mean?" Jienji raised his eyebrows grinning. I swung my sword towards him.

Jienji dodged still smiling mockingly. "Just like your father."

"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH!" I shouted loudly the two men behind me retreated. I kept swinging the sword but Jienji kept dodging my attacks.

"Father and son have a miserable destiny." I'm really furious. I stopped standing in front of him. Jienji looked at me sharply waiting for an attack from me.

Jienji pushed forward clenching his hands ready to punch me. I grinned this time I used hong heise. Combining my two blood into one and making my sword have the power of darkness with pure blood in it.

I know this is my last risk against Yuan's student I almost died. This time I will do it.

Although my magic power will disappear or my life will be lost. I breathed in a reddish-mixed black aura meeting together with my sword.

The yong jian sword turned reddish-black. Jienji retreated slowly her face looked scared.

I raised the sword forward. Jienji disappeared quickly I also disappeared chasing after him.

I grinned. "Meet." I appeared in front of him Jienji who was not ready to accept my attack.

"Hong Long Xiexian." I shouted while throwing the yong jian sword. A red sword surrounded by a black aura shot through Jienji's heart. "ARGHH!" Shouted Jienji on the verge of death. The two men gulped roughly while the old man trembled.

In one throw Jienji's body shattered into dust. I staggered in the end I killed them.

"Heh, pathetic." I really am suffering. Pain and regret become one. A killer? Do Jian's words were still jolted in my ears.

I pulled out the sword that had now turned stronger. "You want human blood." I'm lirih.

I know every turn yong jian's sword becomes stronger above the limit. Then, he must feel the blood of a new human back to normal.

I turned myself into a normal human being. I raised my palm and scratched it to make the blood flow.

Slowly, my sword calmed down. I looked at the two men staring at me. As if they couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Who are you really?" Ask Do Weiheng to come closer. "I'm..." I took a breath and then exhaled slowly. I looked at Do Jian with deep sadness.

"Sir, tell me exactly what he meant." Urge Do Weiheng to be impatient. "Sir, you can take us somewhere quiet." I said ignoring Do Weiheng.

"Of course, son. Follow me." This old man drove us to a hut not far from Tien Chen hill.

"Please come in." He said we go inside. There's nothing here this hut is so deserted.

"My house is empty. Because, I live alone. Introduce me Xiu Jun." Mr. Xiu Jun greeted us. "Want me to make you a drink?" Barred friendly.

"Of course uncle. I'm so thirsty." Do Weiheng sir Xiu Jun chuckled. "Of course I'll make it. You guys please sit down." Mr. Xiu Jun left the three of us.

"Do Jian's..." I said softly Do Jian glanced at me there was no answer there. "I'm sorry." I said tears I felt like I wanted to fall. Do Weiheng let out a long sigh.

"Yes, I'm Li Shuwang. I'm sorry Do Jian lied to you." My crying that I was trying to contain finally spilled. Do Weiheng was surprised that his face turned deathly pale when he heard my words.

"Do.. Jian.. I'm sorry." Do Jian looked at me inexplicably and his eyes made me even more sick.

"Sorry." He said Do Jian might now be hit hard to accept the reality so quickly.

I don't understand the secrets kept for 19 years were exposed because of my stupidity. I cried as much as I could no matter how Do Weiheng responded.

"I think I can kill Li Shang. But, it was precisely Li Shang who had always been with me." Do Jian glanced at me his lips flattering a bitter smile.

"Daughter, why are you doing all this?" I asked Do Jian, I was angry. But, he tried to contain his anger. "Are you afraid I might kill you?" I shook my head.

"No, I'm not afraid you're killing me. In fact, if I die in your hands I will." I said with a smile Do Jian lowered his head.

"Wait so you're Li Shuwang's daughter?" Do Weiheng asked I nodded my head. "Finally, my secrets are known to the crowd." I wiped the tears that fell.

"A woman disguised as a man and a half-vampire who doesn't know what to choose."

"Then, why is the princess doing all this?" Ask Do Weiheng curiously. "Because, I want to return my father's favor."

"Judy? Why?" Tanya Do Jian urged. "I am not the son of Emperor Li Quin. I was only an adopted son because the emperor wanted a daughter and the one who took care of me was a royal lady so I was taken and that was where I started to become a princess."

Do Weiheng rubbed a face of disbelief with my story. "It is impossible for the emperor to raise a son. Moreover, he is.." Do Weiheng's sentence was broken.

"A half-vampire boy." My law made Do Weiheng speechless. "Of course the emperor doesn't know I'm half a vampire."

"They just know I'm a ladyboy's niece." My heart makes everyone quiet. "So, you've been hiding your secret?" I nodded slowly.

"So, Do Jian and Do Weiheng can you keep this secret until the war is over?" Ask me slowly. "What is the guarantee that you will not betray us?"

I gave you the green jade. "Keep this because it's a precious item for me." Do Weiheng shook his head. "This can't be guaranteed. I want more."

"The green jade is the emblem of the Xixuegui clan maybe you think this belongs to Wang Jian Li. If I betray you take this jade to emperor Li Quin." Do Jian looked at me.

"Is there with this jade?" I'm speechless. "You'll know someday. But, no matter what happens I won't betray you."

Our conversation stopped when Uncle Do Weiheng brought us tea. The steaming tea smoke makes the throat feel dry.

"Son, your hands are hurt you need to be treated." Sir Xiu Jun said sincerely I raised a new hand realizing that I was injured. Mr. Xiu Jun pulled my hand to treat the wound.

"Thank you sir." I move my hand slowly. "It's okay. I just remember my son." His words sadly Do Weiheng approached.

"Uncle must be strong forget all the past and reach the future that is in sight." His words with a guyonan made mister Xiu Jun pinch his head slowly.

"Basic!" Do Weiheng rubbed his head while laughing softly.
