Xue huang
Twenty-one years ago, legend has it that a man called Huiliang who was one of the strongest martial artists because of the greatness of his spiritual energy. It was rumoured that he cultivated dark powers with the ying Luo orb, the ying Luo orb was known to have dark powers which could make a man become very strong, if you've cultivated for only 2 years with the aid of the orb its like you've cultivated for two thousand years. It is said that when he died the orb left his body to a place no one knows, lots of people have been looking for it but to no avail. I think she's one of the descendants of Huiliang, I can't go around telling people I must confirm my facts for her safety so she won't be killed because of people's greed for the orb. I had a confused look on my face contemplating if I should tell him or not, "I think she's...… never mind, just make sure she doesn't go anywhere provide her with all her needs". "Yes, your majesty" pengli didn't go further with his questions and obediently left to complete the task I assigned him to. "Your majesty, I'm sorry, I'm ready to be beheaded" Taojie came running in as she bowed, "you may rise, what's the matter ", the maid looked scared as she looked at me hinting there was something wrong, "taojie, what's wrong" I added, "X-Xing li has escaped", my eyes widened after hearing what she said, before she could say more, I ran to Xing li chambers. When I got there, I noticed the two guards were missing, "Lu He, Yi Wu" I shouted but no one responded. Oh! Where could she be.

Xing li
Finally, freedom. I walked round the palace and it was quite huge, I couldn't help noticing the humongous places in the palace, the archive here is much huger than the one we got in Qin hu kingdom. There were lots of books there, I noticed there was a room next to the archive, I really want to check it out but what if some royals are in there. The urge to go there was killing me because of my love for adventures. I pushed the door a little which made it make 'creak' sound before forcing myself into the little hole that was created as I closed the door. The room was so large with amazing decor, red fluffy carpets covered the floor, the colours reflecting in the room from the walls were soothing and mood lightening, the bed was like a king-sized bed which shouted royalty it was arranged in a feng shui style with a touch of royalty. I was so fascinated by the style of the book shelf that I couldn't help touching it, as soon as I slightly touched it I felt like I couldn't move it was like my leg was stuck to the floor, I looked at my legs and saw they were bounded by chains, I tried moving but I just got myself into much trouble my waist was then chained to the shelf, it was like some kind of trap, I really underestimated the Xin men kingdom. I tried to cut the chains with my sword since my hands were not chained but it was to no avail, I screamed to see if anyone was there but no one came to my rescue. Night fell and I was still chained, I was so hungry my stomach started making noises. I was crying for help when I heard some foot steps and decided to shut up. The person entered and I was shocked to who I saw right in front of me, it was Xue Huang. He looked a bit stressed but when he looked at me, I could see the sudden change in his expression; I couldn't really know his expression but his eyes showed relief. "What are you doing here" Xue Huang questioned while looking at me intently, "well this your so-called Xin men kingdom sure has many tricks up its sleeve" Xue Huang furrowed his eyebrows like he didn't really get what I was saying, "look at my situation, if it wasn't for your little tricks, I wouldn't have been here all day" Xue Huang did not pay attention to what I was saying as he brought out a bottle of liquor from one of his drawers. He looked like he was going somewhere, "hey, handsome old man.... I mean Huang aren't you gonna set me free", he looked at me before moving towards my direction, "Don't move" he ordered as he wrapped his hands around my waist, "Hey, Huang, the fact that I'm defenceless doesn't give you the right to try anything funny with me" Huang did not respond he just continued removing the chains from my waist. Apparently, those chains had keys in which he brought out of his robe and freed me. "These chains are for intruders; how did you get here and what were you trying to steal" I was amazed hearing those words by Xue Huang. How could he accuse me of stealing. "Firstly, I wasn't trying to steal anything. Secondly, a stupid king named Xue Huang caged me in this palace. I just want to be free". After saying those words, I stormed out. After I got out of that place which was kind of suffocating because of the prescence of Huang, I found my way back to my chambers. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't help thinking of my friends and everyone, I knew in qin hu kingdom, especially the king in which I couldn't stop thinking about his face. I've been in this kingdom for just a day and I'm already missing qin hu kingdom. The king in this kingdom is similar to the king in my kingdom, they're both poker faces and don't like to talk too much, just that Xue Huang is more handsome than Luo gengxin, but in a way their level of handsomeness Is the same. I spent the whole night thinking of the similarities and differences between the two kings. I could already see the sun rising, the view was so nice that I went outside to admire it more. I had never viewed the sun rise because I always woke up late in the morning, only if I had known how beautiful it was. "Very beautiful indeed" I heard a voice beside me "greetings, milady", I didn't know who that person was but he looked quite gentle. "I'm Feng wan by the way" he was quite a fast talker who didn't let me reply to any of his statement, "umm, I'm Xing li" I took the chance he wasn't talking to say something, "oh Xing li the missing lady", I was stunned as to what he said, why did he tag me as the missing lady! "Wait! What!! Missing lady!!!" feng wan looked at me like he just found a treasure before averting his gave "the king sent most of the palace guards to look for you and whoever finds you first would be rewarded", what that handsome old man has a heart "well then you've found me why don't you take me to the king", I mumbled, though the king has already seen me. But since it's the king that made the order, it doesn't count if he saw me first. "Thank you, milady" Feng wan smiled as he kissed the back of my hand and took me to the king.
