Chapter 17 - Why do they Always Kidnap Me?

Li-Lian woke up by water being splashed into her face. Her eyes slowly opened due to how bright the light was. She saw that the two figures were now arguing before there was another slap to her face which completely woke Lian up.

"What do you want?" Lian said while hatred seared out her mouth.

"For you to behave" the lady figure said with as much hatred as Lian

"Heh" Lian said while her eyes finally had time to adjust to the lighting.

Lian knew that it must have been a while, since she was supposed to be back at her courtyard to have dinner with her husband and someone would notice then send people to look for her and mo-chou.

"What are you laughing at?" The lady said while trying to take off her mouthpiece which would hide her face from Lian. Then the male figure tried to stop her from taking off her head piece but she just slapped his hands out of her way.

"I should've known it was you" Lian said as she made eye contact with the lady.

"Of course it was me! Oh, before I forget your powers are not going to work here" Su jin said while grabbing Lian's hair with her right hand.

Lian tried to use her power but to no prevail. Her using her powers was just draining out into the air. Lian tried again to use her powers again but something happened she felt mo-chou wasn't far from where they had her and sent a signal to mo-chou. Lian thought that hopefully mo-chou got her message before her chi spilt all into the air.

The male partner noticed something was off with Lian since she had not answered Su jin antics in a while. He ran over to where Lian was and put a level eight ice-cave barrier up.

"I told you not to take your head piece off, she could've tried to use her powers to summon people to help her!" He said while eyeing Lian and moving towards Su Jin.

Su jin looked shocked and pissed at the same time. Lian loved seeing her facial expression like this since what Lian is gonna do to her is ten fold.

Su Jin rushed over to Li-lian to serve her another slapping after another, Lian had caught Su Jin's hand in her mouth and bite down as hard as she could. Lian broke skin very easily due to the adrenaline rushing through her body and thought of her baby getting hurt is not the list of things to do today.

"AHHHHH" Su Jin yelled while holding her hand that was now all bloody. The male figure quickly as he could, shoved some type of round pill into her mouth, it was emerald green with a white powdery substance, an unusual color for a medicinal pill. He made her swallow the pill. Su Jin was now muffling crying through his hand.

Lian started to notice Su Jin started to act weird, she was twisting her legs together and hug all over the male figure until he touched her forehead which made her fall to the ground instantly. Lian felt uneasy around him. He was too powerful for Lian to take on by herself while being injured at that.

"Don't worry" He said with an overly charmed and sadistic smile.

"She is the only one for now that will eat the pill, we wouldn't want to hurt the baby inside your stomach" He said now breaking his charmed smile with a creepy sadistic smile.

"You mean you gave her that pill on purpose? What will it do to her?" Lian said while waiting for Su jin any minute to throw up blood due to the pill being poisonous

"It's not poisonous. It's going to help her fall in love with me when I say a couple of certain words to give me what I eventually desire" He said while walking up to Su Jin to pick her up onto his shoulder, before she could ask what it was he desired. In a daze-like state her eyes were dilating out of control, Li-lian could see Su-jin drooling from the mouth before she saw her eyes roll in the back of her head. They were gone before Li-lian could observe Su-jin more closely.

"We'll be leaving now." While walking out of the secret back entrance from the cave and disappearing into the darkness.

Seconds later, Lian heard a big crack which bursted a hole through the cave. Lian knew Mo-chou had gotten her message from earlier. Her husband was the first one to come through the Entrance and picked her up from laying on the ground.

"I'm here now, don't worry" Yang Yang said while holding Lian princess style in his arms marching outside from the cave where Mo-chou was waiting for her mistress to come out unharmed. Mo-chou saw how badly Lian's right cheek was swollen so she gave her a medicine pill to help the swelling go down without harming the baby.

"Let's go home" Lian managed to meekly say before she passed out in Yang-yang arms.

As Yang-yang strided out the passage with Li-lian gently laying in his arms covered with his robe, in case she got cold. Before Yang-yang got into the carriage with Li-lian he made sure his right hand man knew how to handle the situation while he took care of his wife. Yang-yang made sure to be updated on anything was found or if something happened. He dismissed zeng-qing to tend to Li-lian.

While in the carriage, he placed Li-lian gently onto different types of fur, for warmth. He grabbed the closest pillow to Li-lian, he placed it underneath her head ever so gently to avoid adding anymore pain to her injuries. Yang-yang was blaming himself for what happened to Li-lian, his heart was "bleeding" in pain while seeing her cheek bright red and swollen. His eyes caught a glimpse of blood on her outer robes. He changed her out of the bloody clothes into new fresh clothes from his robes pocket. After he changed Li-lian and gave her the proper care, he laid down next to her while she slept till they arrived at their palace.
