In the narrow and dark wooden shed, the four walls of the house were bare, with only simple furniture and a bed, it was the place where she and Shanxue lived. Shanxue had been unconscious for the past few days, and it was Ming Zhu's clothes that kept on taking care of him. When she was tired, she would lie on the bed and sleep for a while, and when she woke up, she would head to the Beauty's Building to practice.
This time, she had not returned for a day, causing her to be extremely anxious and uneasy. She was extremely worried that while she was not around, would anything happen at home, would he be thirsty?
Would he be hungry?
Although he was a cultivator, and even when he was heavily injured, his physique was far stronger than ordinary people, and it should not be a problem for him to last a day or two.
But, Ming Zhu felt her heart beating extremely fast, as though something that she was worried about would happen. Although she looked happy on the surface, but deep in her heart, she was hiding her worry.
As expected, when she opened the door, she suddenly realized that the house was empty!
He … .he's gone?!
The ruthless and inhumane demon with hands covered in blood, he's gone?!
That incomparably talented, shockingly talented man, he left just like that?
Ming Zhu had been living in fear for the past few days, afraid that something had happened to Shanxue, and afraid that his true identity would be discovered, but when she realized that Shanxue had truly disappeared, she immediately felt empty, as though someone had cut out a piece of flesh from her heart. It was painful and hurt, and her chest felt as though there was a boulder pressing down on it, causing her to be unable to breathe.
She did not know why, could it be that she could not help but fall in love with him?
Ming Zhu suddenly realized the problem, but did she truly fall in love with the terrifying murderous demon?
What did she love about him?
His handsome appearance?
His outstanding talent?
Or his untamed personality?
If she did not fall in love with him, why would she take such a huge risk to save him?
If it was not, then what was she after?
In that moment, Ming Zhu's heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, but before she could cry out in pain, a figure suddenly pounced out from the shadows of the door, and grabbed her neck.
Ming Zhu was shocked, she struggled with all her might and turned to look, but the person immediately caused her entire body to turn cold!
It was none other than Shanxue!
Ming Zhu was shocked and enraged, she grabbed onto Shanxue's hand and struggled to shout: "It's me …."
Shanxue was so weak that he couldn't even use the magic that he was so proud of. He had to do something that only an ant could do: kill a weak woman with brute force!
Shanxue's body and face were still wrapped in bandages that Ming Zhu had prepared for him. He had even changed into a new set of clothes, even his underwear had been changed. However, he did not feel the slightest bit of gratitude. Instead, his eyes were filled with anger and humiliation!
How could a proud person like him tolerate others seeing him in such a miserable state!!
She had even changed his underwear without his permission! She had even changed his underwear without any reaction!!
This woman must be killed!
Even the old housekeeper who saw him in such dire straits was about to die!
Not to mention a woman!
"You bitch!
What are you trying to do!!
Why did you save me!
Speak!!
Why did you save me!! "
Shanxue's face was ferocious. He suppressed his voice, and the sound that came out of his throat was almost like the growl of a beast.
This woman had taken the risk to save him time and time again, she definitely did not have any good intentions!!
Shanxue's mind was filled with such thoughts, his eyes bulged out, and he shouted out hysterically: "Do you want to be like those bitches!
To take revenge on me, to humiliate me, that's why you saved me!!
Am I right!!
Speak!! "
Ming Zhu's face was flushed red, she struggled to speak: "I-I-I didn't … I-I just …"
Shanxue pulled her in front of him, gritting his teeth, he pressed his nose against hers and bellowed: "Just what!!"
In that moment, Ming Zhu suddenly felt as though her soul had been penetrated, she stared at Shanxue, her eyes revealing a cold and disdainful look: "Y-you murderous demon, your death is not to be regretted!
But … Art is innocent, music is innocent … Your 'General Banquet' is an exceptional masterpiece, it should not be buried in the world … "
Shanxue was startled, he had thought of all the possibilities, but he never expected that Ming Zhu would actually save him for such a reason!
This reason … .instantly convinced him ….
Because in his eyes, the cultivation of magic was just a small path in the mortal world. He could just play around with it. Only music, dance, and poetry were the truly important things!
The amount of time he spent on rehearsing and composing was far more than his cultivation!
Art, was the Dao that surpassed everything else!
The reason why Shanxue had always been arrogant, and in his eyes, everyone in the world were ants, was because he was born high and mighty, everyone was always flattering him, fawning on him, and in the eyes of the adults, they were not real "people", they were just property, and could be beaten, scolded, humiliated or killed at will.
Shanxue who grew up in such an environment, how could he treat them as "people"?
Furthermore, Shanxue's talent was unparalleled, he was extremely arrogant, and thought that even if there were people who could compare to him in terms of cultivation, but no one in the world could surpass him in terms of talent and attainments in music!
He was alone, and also lonely.
Suddenly, he realized that there was really such a person in the world, who understood his "Dao"!
Shanxue unconsciously loosened his grip on Ming Zhu, and Ming Zhu fell down, clutching her throat and coughing violently. Shanxue stared at Ming Zhu, and said slowly: "You spread my" General's Banquet "….?"
Ming Zhu coughed violently, her face and ears were red, and she could not speak for a moment. She was struggling to speak, when suddenly two burly men rushed in.
One of them was holding onto a sheathed sword hilt, and with a swing, he struck the back of Shanxue's head, causing him to fall to the ground!
Following that, the other man came up and started punching and kicking Shanxue, and scolded: "You dog, you actually dare to bully our Lady Yu's esteemed guest!
You're courting death!
Today, I'll let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has!! "
The two of them were the two hired thugs that Lady Yu was worried about Ming Zhu's safety, and had sent to escort her back to the slums.
When the two of them heard the commotion and Ming Zhu's coughing, they could not help but rush in, and upon entering, they saw Ming Zhu lying on the ground, clutching her neck and coughing, her hair in a mess, looking miserable.
The two hired thugs naturally did not hesitate to teach Shanxue a lesson.
The once famous genius in the cultivation world, Shanxue, was actually beaten to the ground by two ants that he looked down on the most, and could not get up for a moment, nor could he retaliate.
Furthermore, the sword had landed squarely on the back of Shanxue's head, causing his eyes to roll back, his mouth to twitch, and he spat out blood.
Ming Zhu was frightened, and immediately stopped coughing, and immediately pounced forward, using her body to block the two men, she shouted: "No!!"
The two hired thugs then understood, and looked at each other, looking embarrassed, one of them laughed: "It's just a couple playing around!
Hai, I was still thinking …. "
The person at the side grabbed his arm, and the two of them immediately laughed: "Since it's a matter between a couple, then let's not disturb them!
I'm sorry, I used too much strength just now! "
Saying that, one of them took out a small silver ingot, and smiled apologetically, and placed it at the side: "I hope that Lady will not take it to heart, this money, can be used to buy some medicine for this brother to nourish his body."
The hired thug also smiled apologetically: "Yes yes yes, I hope that Lady can put in a good word for me in front of Lady Yu …."
Ming Zhu forced a smile, and bowed: "Don't say that, thank you two big brothers for your help …." Saying that, she wanted to return the silver ingot to the two, but the two of them immediately ran away, afraid that the silver ingot would burn their hands.
Ming Zhu helplessly placed the silver ingot down, and immediately turned to look at Shanxue, only to see that he was already sprawled on the ground, not moving an inch.
