"Disguising yourself to look like someone else, attempting to flee with a person from the palace. IMPERSINATION!PREPOSTEROUS!!" The king shouted in front of the people who were in the imperial majesty hall, he was sitting on his throne and tian mu was kneeling in front of him while I stood behind Tian mu, "Your punishment is...." Before the king could continue his statement, I interrupted "Hey! Handsome…... err your majesty" I had to use his title there were many people around, "yh, your majesty, in my own perspective what he did wasn't wrong, well you were the one who kidnapped me", the nobles gasped as to my accusation but before the king could react, the door suddenly burst open. "Your majesty, the spirits... they've attacked. They're attacking Dong Chong village" one of the guards trembled. The king did not bother to say a word as he walked out, "you nobles should take care of the people here ill go the village now". Wait, what he's going to defeat those spirits alone, I've actually never seen spirits in qin hu kingdom, but how I imagine them is bad. I really want to see spirits to confirm my fact so I stepped in "wait Xue Huang ill follow you" Xue Huang's eyes widened before denying 'no you can't go, just stay here". I wasn't going to listen to him, so I pestered him, he had no choice but to agree "Ok! Fine. You must follow my instructions", I just nodded. He ordered the guards to take Tian mu to the dungeon, it didn't really bother me, all I know is he'll be safe here and he'll be safe here also I'm going to kill some spirits. It took a long time before we got to Dong Chong village. Some trees and houses were fallen, it looked like there had been a commotion not so long ago. We examined the place before moving further, we got to a house where we saw to children, they looked like they've been crying for a long time I couldn't help noticing the rags they wore and how hungry they looked, just how much are these people suffering. I moved closer to the door when I heard someone shout "Watch out!" I felt a hand on my waist as I looked sideways before we backflipped back to were we were standing "Are you okay" Xue Huang asked looking at me intently. Oh, he was the one who just saved me. We stared at each other for a while before I pulled away from him, "you should be careful and do not act impulsively" I blushed hearing what Xue Huang just said, he sounded like he was caring for me, "oh…yh…ok" I shyly replied while tucking some strands of my hair behind my ear. I came back to reality when I heard a loud cry from the house in front of us. There was a girl who held one of the children in that house with a knife she placed on his neck. She had a long cherry blossom hair and jade eyes, she wore a flowing white and pink robe with golden threads, she looked so cute and fierce at the same time because of her very dark red lips and the flower placed on her ear. "Flower spirit?" Xue Huang smirked before retreating from his fight position as he walked close to her, "Don't come closer if not ill silence him" Xue Huang halted when he heard the flower spirit voice. She looked at both of us, when her eyes met mine, she shouted "kill". I felt some things around my leg when she said that, the same happened to Xue Huang. Xue Huang brought out his sword to cut it but the vines were too strong, it crawled up till it was wrapped around our body. The flower spirit walked up to Xue Huang and held his chin "Who are you, why do you want to challenge the flower spirit", Xue Huang was still struggling as she pointed her sword at his neck, "you killed my family now I must kill you" As soon as the flower spirit raised her sword to behead Xue Huang, something in me clicked.
Xue Huang
No, it's the orb. The flower spirit would surely find out, she's quite sensitive. Xing li broke out of the vines and went straight to the flower spirit. The exact same thing that happened back there on the castle ground is happening again. She was engulfed with fire as her eyes looked so fierce, she held the flower spirit by the neck, "a-ah" the flower spirit groaned at that time the vines weakened which made it easy for me to break out, "Xing li, no you can't kill her" Xing li didn't listen as she continued, I couldn't let her continue so I had to intervene, I hit her on the neck like before so she fainted. The flower spirit immediately took that chance to run away leaving a petal on the floor, I picked the petal and took it with me. If I'm right there's an inn nearby. I got to the inn with Xing li in my hands lying unconscious, I got to a room where I placed her on a bed. I checked her pulse and again it wasn't normal. The demonic aura is getting to her heart, if she keeps using her powers its going to invade her heart and I do not wish to say what's going to happen next.

"Xue Huang, Xue Huang" that was the first person that came to my mind when I woke up. My head was hurting a lot but I didn't really care all I could think of was Xue Huang. "Xing li you're awake" I heard a voice from the door, "oh! Xue Huang you're here" I said as I opened the door, Xue Huang looked at me like he was surprised at my words "you finally called me by my name when we're alone and your voice sounds soft unlike before it's kind of creeping me out", uh what's he feeling like. "*hiss* what're you talking about, do you mean I don't call you by your name" he just smirked at me before replying, "perhaps, well let's eat dinner before heading back tomorrow". We went down to eat. "It's been a long time since I've tasted such good food" I admitted, Xue Huang just looked at me before pouring some liquor into our cups, we clanked our cup as we drank. "Yh, I wanted to ask a question" I said in a serious note which made Xue Huang look at me like he's listening, "go on", I went on to ask my question after he gave me a go ahead "Where's the flower spirit and why did she say you killed her family" Xue Huang looked at me before standing up to explain, "Few years ago, the first flower spirit showed up in the Xin men kingdom, she caused chaos with some little spirit causing many to die, Truly, no one dared to kill the flower spirit because of her charm but not so long ago she met a tragic end, she killed herself. Apparently, the flower spirit was called Mei blossom. She was the only family of the flower spirit we saw today" I felt so sad hearing what he explained so I couldn't help but ask "why did she kill herself", Xue Huang sighed looking like he wanted to avoid that question, "let's not talk about that and enjoy the night view" upon saying that he took some liquor and held my waist, we flew to the roof before sitting down. I was fascinated by the view that I wished I could just stay in the moment. "it's beautiful" I said looking at Xue Huang before continuing my statement "why did you bring me here" he just looked into my eyes "drinking liquor and enjoying the night view is nice to share with someone". The situation was getting awkward as we were both staring at each other. I took the bottle of liquor from his hand before gulping it, the liquor made me dizzy because I drank a whole bottle in a rush, "calm down, don't drink much" I heard Xue Huang say but I couldn't quite decipher what he said because of the effect of the liquor, I felt like I was spinning. I stood up before moving back and front till I got to the roof edge in a drunken state, I almost fell down until I felt someone drag me back, he's chest was broad and I could see his face closely, "Ah, Xue Huang when did you become so handsome" I didn't know the nonsense I was sprouting. "Xing li you're drunk, ill take you to your room", I felt my leg lift up from the ground, before we flew back down.
