"Don't worry, Miss! I survived all those beatings, so I'll be fine now."
Shao Heng carefully observed her expression and asked tentatively, "There are bandits on this mountain. We separated from the others last night. Just in case, how about we go down the mountain to find a family first and then send a letter to the mansion?"
They set out from Yunzhou the day before yesterday and headed for their uncle's house in Yuanhu Mansion. They were supposed to arrive the next day, but unexpectedly they encountered bandits when passing Tianning Mountain. The servants fled in all directions, and the eldest daughter was injured while saving him.
He was anxious because the heart seemed to be really extraordinary, but he didn't know whether it was really useful.
Besides, the young lady shed so much blood...
"Miss..."
"good."
Xihe opened his arms and stared at him: "Then I'll trouble Shaoheng."
Shao Heng shook his head in panic: "No trouble, no trouble!" His face turned red little by little, and he squatted down carefully in front of her.
The voice was low, "Don't be afraid, Miss. I won't let you fall."
His shoulders were not broad, as if they would break if pressed, but his words were full of power, making people trust him for no reason. He would not hurt her even if he was hurt.
Xihe leaned forward and put his arms around the boy's neck. The boy's ears turned red visibly.
The corners of her mouth curled up and she asked softly, "Am I very heavy?"
"No!" "Not heavy at all, very light."
Shao Heng carried Xihe on his back with a red face. A scent of a young girl rushed into his nostrils, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
He took a deep breath, put aside his messy thoughts, carried the girl on his back and walked down the mountain.
Gradually, the view of the dense forest in front of him became wider. He had only one thought in his mind, to quickly send the young lady to a safe place and not let her get into any harm.
Xihe lay on the boy's back and couldn't help thinking how good the little demon was to her now, and how much he would hate her when he found out the truth in the future.
All of this was just a scheme set up by the original owner and her father, with the purpose of obtaining Shao Heng's body.
On the surface, Hua Fu is just an ordinary wealthy businessman in Yunzhou City, but secretly he has some connections with the immortal sect. When the original owner was born, Master Hua took her to seek immortals and ask for medicine, but got nothing.
It’s not that there is really no way, but those incredible treasures are not hers at all.
Hua Chang could only drag her broken body and wait until she passed away at the age of twenty, while her half-sister, whom she looked down upon, turned over a new leaf and became a high-ranking immortal cultivator... Meeting Shao Heng was an accident.
Although the immortal cultivator could not cure her illness, he gave her an immortal item.
In addition to nourishing the body and protecting the body, the 'Linglong Jade Ring' also has the function of finding special physiques, and tells her that if she is lucky enough to find one, it can remove the heart, dig out the tendons and veins, move the Dantian... and change her fate!
She hadn't cared about it before. After all, her special physique was rare in a thousand years, and she was destined to die young.
Who would have thought that this thing would suddenly light up when passing by the outer courtyard one day?
Hua Chang was so excited that she almost screamed, but she quickly calmed down, smiled kindly and saved the horse slave who was almost beaten to death by the servants.
She didn't even see the slave's face clearly. It was so dirty and smelly that she felt disgusted just by looking at it.
Returning to the courtyard, she immediately sought out Master Hua to discuss the matter. Of course, Master Hua wouldn't care about a lowly horse slave! On the contrary, he was overjoyed that his eldest daughter's illness could be cured and she could become an immortal cultivator.
Hua Chang began to approach Ma Nu, giving him leftovers, a few free words of kindness, and gave him the name "Shao Heng".
She then pretended that she was a lady with a bad fate, a weak body, and would not live past the age of twenty. Even her half-sisters spoke coldly to her. The little slave soon fell for her and was willing to go through fire and water for her.
Blocking the sword for the little slave is the last step of Hua Chang’s plan.
...The result was very encouraging. The slave offered his heart voluntarily, and it really worked!
However, Hua Shang felt that it was not safe. She also wanted his dantian and tendons, but of course she would not do it herself and ruin her image, so she left and secretly asked someone to do it.
Therefore, the rebellious Demon Lord who would later become so rampant that he would rule the world, was not only deceived and had his heart stripped out when he was young, but also had his dantian dug out and his tendons and veins pulled out.
He fell like a dead dog in a dirty, dark alley, with rats and cockroaches crawling across his face, while the person he had taken out of his heart used his heart, dantian, and tendons to enter the immortal gate and become a beautiful female immortal that everyone envied.
"Shaoheng, what do you want to do after we get down the mountain?"
When Xihe thought of the ending where Shaoheng would pull out her tendons, pull out her bones, and dig out her heart, she felt pain all over.
This guy was really cruel. In front of everyone, he took back the injuries that the original owner had inflicted on him bit by bit. He was reduced from a high and mighty fairy to a mortal whom she despised the most. After his death, he was hung in the soul refining pool, enduring the roasting of soul fire every day.
When she appeared, Hua Chang didn't even want to be reincarnated, and directly chose to die.
Xihe swallowed her saliva, feeling that she had hit a wall this time:
"You saved me, I'll agree to whatever you ask for."
The young man paused, his expression somewhat gloomy. Was it just a matter of saving his life?
He took a step forward, and felt that the eldest lady was lucky to be still alive, and she was using his heart now... A blush flashed across his face.
"I don't want anything. I just want my young lady to be healthy and happy, without any complaints or complaints."
Xihe smiled bitterly, you are right now, you will want to kill me in the future, and you will regret having said this.
But she also understood that this little devil was still a naive and innocent man who only cared about her. No matter how much she said, it would be useless. She should just take it one step at a time and be nice to him. The less hatred the better...
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and the two walked for more than half an hour before they got out of the forest and came across a farmer's house.
Shaoheng was surprised and hurriedly ran over with Xihe on his back and knocked on the wooden door. An old woman opened the door and asked Xihe for a silver bracelet before letting her in.
Shao Heng held his breath and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely get the bracelet back!"
He secretly hated the old woman for taking advantage of their misfortune and deliberately stealing their things when she saw how miserable they were.
While twisting the handkerchief, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to get the bracelet back. He couldn't let the young lady suffer any loss.
Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Xihe was afraid that he would scare someone to death. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just a silver bracelet, not worth much. The old man lives here alone and his life is hard. It would be nice to exchange the bracelet for some food."
Shao Heng pursed his lips and said nothing. It was a solid bracelet, which was a valuable item for ordinary people.
Xihe thought to himself, it seems that the devil is indeed a devil, and his vengeful nature is already showing at such a young age.
She had no choice but to soften her temper and grab the edge of the boy's clothes: "Shao Heng, that bracelet is really not important to me, please don't ask the old woman for it, okay?"
The girl was wearing a pink skirt and sitting in a dilapidated wooden house. Her face was as white as porcelain and she had a pair of dark, bright eyes.
The fingertips that grabbed the corner of his clothes were slender, white and thin, looking obedient and soft.
The young man's face flushed red, his entire body burning with anger. "Okay, okay," he said, fumbling for words. "Tomorrow I'll go to the nearest town and ask someone to deliver a letter. The master will send someone to pick you up soon."
Xihe smiled and nodded, but she knew that the original owner had told her father not to send anyone so soon for safety reasons.
If they wanted to leave, they could either walk or take a passing convoy.
