The Story of White Dragon
Ch. 14 [Freedom V]

"You smell your blood, sting."

Yu Bau was silent. A second later he smelled his own body odor. Trying to smell the blood that might indeed be there.

But Yu Bai didn't smell anything.

Yu Bai frowned, "I don't smell anything."

Fu Ru laughed softly "Bai'er. Sorry, sorry, I haven't told you that I have a keen sense of smell."

Yu Bai nodded in understanding.

"So you're hurt?"

Yu Bai nodded stiffly.

"May I see?"

"What?"

"May I see the wound in your body?"

Yu Bai was silent. It's weird for him. He never showed his body to anyone, but...

"Why do you see my body?" Yu Bai asked curiously.

Fu Ru smiled slightly "If you don't want to show it is okay."

Frantically Yu Bai shook his head quickly, "B-don't you!"

Furu smiled even more. He thought Yu Bai was a sweet child. So he couldn't bear to not tease Yu Bai.

Usually, pregnant people crave it is strange.

"Alright." slowly Yu Bai opened the robe that covered his body.

Fu Ru's eyes never came off. He stared intensely at every move from Yu Bai.

'Hm... He looked weak, but strong' Inner Fu Ru.

"U-um, Ru?"

Fu Ru flinched. "Let me see" he said as he stood up from his seat and approached the timid-looking Yu Bai.

"Touch can?"

Yu Bai nodded in doubt. Fu Ru happily touched the wounds that were still partly dry and some of them still looked wet.

'Wound lash, huh?' inner Fu Ru.

Slowly Fu Ru walked down a long cross wound on Yu Bai's back. It seemed that the wound was the biggest of the others.

'I don't know why, but...' Fu Ru's eyebrows shriveled. Seemed confused by Yu Bai's body. 'In every wound... To give off an energy I do not know.'

"Where did you meet Jin?"

Yu Bai turned his head slightly, "The place of the slave sale."

Fu Ru's eyeballs seemed to grow for a while. Instantly Fu Ru glanced at a red tattoo on her back close to the base of her neck.

'What is the reason Jinzhi took Yu Bai?' inner Fu Ru was curious.

After being satisfied to observe every point of injury belongs to Sergio. Fu Ru then helped Yu Bai put her clothes back on as usual.

Fu Ru sat back where she was before. He then took a cup of tea that tasted warm, sipped a little before saying.

"Bai'er, can you tell me what happened to you?"

Yu Bai who looked to confirm his clothes froze. He slowly looked at Fu Ru with a blank look.

For a moment Fu Ru saw a look of guilt, regret, anger and also...

Vengeances.

"Bai'er" call Fu Ru.

Yu Bai looked at Fu Ru blankly. It looks like his mind is exploring somewhere.

Fu Ru sighed, "Alright. No need to tell a story if you don't want to."

Yu Bai quietly sighed in relief.

"But..." Fu Ru stared intently at Yu Bai. "Your revenge will bring you to the end."

"The end?"

Fu Ru's tapered fingers rubbed Yu Bai's right hand. "I can read a person's life line" Fu Ru said, ending with a smile of sadness.

Yu Bai's eyes grew bigger. Seemed surprised by the statement from Fu Ru.

Doesn't that mean...?

Will he die someday?

"May I ask?"

Fu Ru nodded.

"Am I going to die when I get this revenge or..."

"Bai'er" called Fu Ru firmly. "Do you have to have this grudge. You're.... You're still the"

"Sorry Ru. But I can't" Yu Bai quickly cut. "There's a promise I have to keep" Yu Bai continued with his eyes filled with anger.

Fu Ru shook her head resignedly "Now I know the resemblance of the two of you" Fu Ru murmured.

"What?"

Fu Ru shook her head again, "No. Ahhe... Yes, I'll give you a gift. For a moment" Fu Ru stood cautiously in worry for this baby inside her stomach.

Fu Ru walked slowly towards the door. Maybe Fu Ru went into the room somewhere, thought Yu Bai.

While waiting for Fu Ru to return. Yu Bai explored a small room made of wood. He was sitting in a small gazebo in the backyard.

It was quite a shock for Yu Bai. Seen from the front of Fu Ru's shop looks small. But the deeper it looks spacious and luxurious.

Clearly, Fu Ru and Fu Ten were not mediocre people.

Didn't Jinzhi and Qing need to be asked about his identity as well?

Long Jinzhi's. Someone who was still mysterious to Yu Bai. Mysterious because Jinzhi was the one who took him when he was unconscious because of the lash.

The question is- How could Jinzhi take her out? While he still has a tattoo that confirms that he is only a lowly slave.

Need explaining. That actually the tattoo that is in every slave is not a mere decoration, but a seal that can make someone unable to expend energy and also. If a slave who goes out crosses the boundary where his master lives. A child will get his end horribly.

It can burn, be dismembered, the body explodes, and most severely die from poison.

A terrible death.

But why was Yu Bai still in good health? No injuries made him break the tattoo on his neck?

And Qing? A woman whose home contained poisonous plants (known to Yu Bai this morning), animals with difficult-to-describe shapes dried up and hung beautifully on the wooden walls of the house.

And now Fu Ru and Fu Ten. Judging from their shop in front, one would think, 'Pity that shop. It's rickety, old house, and look. Even the store was empty of visitors.'

But original. The more it goes inside, the more luxurious the furniture is.

Yu Bai could only sigh softly. You have to be careful with new people.

Even if the person is good with himself.

Don't blame Yu Bai for doing that. He was a child with an adult-like mind. The loss of both parents and sister is a hard blow for him who is still 10 years old.

Not to mention a promise he carried at this young age.

"Hey, are you daydreaming again?"

Yu Bai blinked his eyes. Slightly surprised by the wave of the hand that was very close to his face.

"Think what? It seems interesting" said Fu Ru who climbed the stairs of the Gazebo slowly. Then Fu Ru sat in her place all with both hands hugging a long vault.

Yu Bai raised his right eyebrow "Umm... Ru. What's in your hand?" Yu Bai asked curiously.

Fu Ru instead of answering gave a mysterious smile. "Gift for you, but first I'll ask you. Can you?"

Actually, he was still confused by what Fu Ru said. But after thinking about it for a while, there was no harm in answering a few questions from Fu Ru.

After all, he was curious about the gift that Fu Ru would give.

Yu Bai nodded in doubt. He agreed to answer the question given by Fu Ru.

"Well, what's your sister's name?"

"...."

"Don't look at me like that! I just want to know your sister's name!"

Fu Ru was slightly troubled by the suspicious look given by Yu Bai. Kan Fu Ru just asked about his sister's name. Why was Yu Bai staring at him so suspiciously?

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Bai sighed softly "Yu Nie. That's my sister's name."

Fu Ru's face immediately cheered up "Your sister must be very pretty!"

Yu Bai smiled slightly, "Yes. My sister looks like my mother."

Fu Ru nodded vigorously, "I can't wait to meet your sister."

'I am also impatient' Inner Yu Bai.

"Alright," Fu Ru placed the vault on the table. "Because you answered my question. I'll give you your gift" he continued as the fingers were busy opening the vault that was seen in the tightly closed vault.

"Is that the question?"

"Yes, that's all. What do you expect me to ask?"

'I thought I'd ask about my background' Yu Bai thought.

"Uhh... Why is this box so hard to open?!" moaning Fu Ru who looks painstakingly opened the vault.

Yu Bai just kept quiet and waited. Seems like they don't want to help.

Shortly after the complaint from Fu Ru's mouth. The iron box is open. Fu Ru sighed in relief "Ahh... Finally open too. I'll scold Jinzhi later."

Jinzhi's? Thought Yu Bai.

"Nah Yu Bai" Fu Ru gave a bright smile. He flipped the vault and showed what was inside. "This is your gift."

Yu Bai was stunned. Completely surprised by what he sees now.
