There was a faint beautiful voice coming from afar.
The voice got closer and closer as the voice from a beautiful girl, she had long and silver hair with azure eyes.
The girl approached them and asked "what's going on? Why are you guys beating him?"
Lu Xian responded "he stole my money! Shouldn't he get a lesson for that?" And grinned.
She sighed and nodded before responding with "how much was it?"
Lu Xian asked
"Why do you ask?"
And She responded "I'll pay you"
Lu Xian made the two of them stop beating the boy, they came back to him and stood behind him "there was 8 gold coins, and 20 silver".
The girl's eyes widened as she looked at him
"That much?" She sighed before going through her spacial ring, which allows the user to store objects in a sub-space making it really useful, not everyone can own such a precious item. and she handed him the amount he told her.
Lu Xian nodded, and turned to look at the boy who's half dead and still tied to the tree, before turning away again to leave with his lackeys.
The boy heard the foot steps of the girl coming near him and said in a weak voice.
"Please. Don't hurt me." Mustering all of his strength to even say those words.
He didn't had any strength to lift his head up. His eyes were shut. His body all battered. His clothes are still ragged. He look more pale than he was before. As there was blood dripping from his head as well.
The girl kneeled down to meet his gaze. And said "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Xue Xia, what's your name?" she smiled.
The boy still looked scared. He stuttured and mustered up his strength to open his mouth again to speak "i-i.. don't have an name..".
The girl looked confused. She slowly started healing him by using some kind of magic. Before she asked him "why not?".
The boy could feel a warm feeling inside as the pain slowly started soothing, he replied "I don't.. have a family.. when I was born I wasn't given a name, I grew up in an orphanage that i wasn't registered in. And they all hated me.. so when I could walk and eat on my own.. they threw me out, so i ate the left over from people that gets thrown out into the trash." there was tears welling up in the boy's eyes.
The girl puts a small pill inside the boy's mouth and he had no choice but to swallow it.
The boy felt the rope slowly loosening as the pain he was in was gone, he was no longer hungry either, his face wasn't pale either, the boy looked quite handsome now.
The boy looked up at the girl, he blushes as he saw her face, his heart skipped a beat, he came back to his senses and asked "You're... Letting me go?"
