Chapter 10 - Stranger

I don't know what to do anymore. The person who makes everything alright has already left me. I have nobody to rely on. I don't have the strength to find the palace guard and the general.

*bush*

When I heard a noise in the bush, I had a glimpse of a rabbit that was running, but after that, a man came out from the bush. He has that face that is bloodshot. I recognized him; he's the assassin who was sent to kill me. I wonder who wants to kill me? Is it my father? The empress? Or is it the emperor of the Lou empire himself, since he has known that what has been given to him is a waste?

I don't have the strength to run; maybe this is really the end for me.

"Haha, bitch I finally found you." his face holds a very wicked expression, but I didn't give him a reply and just looked at him.

"Good, finally, you know that it is time for you to die." Go ahead, just kill me already. I don't care anymore.

He has held my neck, and because of the suffocation, I have felt great displeasure in my neck.

"Since that stupid woman who blinded my left eye is gone, this will only be your punishment. I'll give you an intact corpse and then send it to those people." I don't really want to hear what he's saying, and I just really want this thing to end.

When I suddenly feel like it's my time, I just try to close my eyes, but before that happens, I have a glimpse of the very beautiful woman I had seen earlier.

*Swish*

I opened my eyes, and the blood had splashed on my face.

"How dare you hurt her?! " She has sliced the assassin's head off, which caused his death. I wonder why she saved me.

I tried to look at her, and she only gave me a warm smile.

"My lady, why didn't you fight back? " She asked me, but I don't find the will to answer her and just look down.

She didn't ask me anymore and pulled my hand, and she suddenly looked to the sky. Is that what they called qinggong?

When we found a lake, she immediately landed beside it and tried to get something from her dress.

What she got is a bundle, in which I think there are clothes . She opened it, and then a green robe was presented to me.

She just looked at me and sighed. I know I'm already being a drag to her, but she should have let me die earlier.

*Slap*

I was shocked by what she did to me, and I tried to hold my cheek that she slapped, and it hurt.

"The lady is so stupid, why do you have that kind of look that you want to die?" I didn't answer her and just looked downward. What does she want from me?

"Didn't that woman say that you must fight and live? Why are you like this?" I look at her with a face full of confusion. Is she following me?

I hold her collar and ask.

"Have you been following us? " she nodded.

"Since when? " This is the most critical question that I want to ask her.
