The sky was deep red, the freezing wind was gusting fast; mixed with the strong smell of blood and piercing the skins of the soldiers, the sound of screeching, clashing and galloping of the horses can be heard in the background.

it was undeniably the battlefield, a war broke out between the newly found kingdom Fènghuáng and kingdom Yīng.

Fènghuáng kingdom was at drawback, having only two thousand soldiers. Yīng kingdom was at the edge, having more than five thousand soldiers. both the sides were menacingly fighting.

the troops of soldiers from the both sides were dropping dead on the ground, the whole battlefield was in a very chaotic state.

a white silhouette, stained with blood can be seen fighting fearlessly in the middle of the battlefield, those who came in his way died a miserable death. Soldiers from the other side seem to avoid the white silhouette.

in the middle of a battle, a pressure of a celestial realm came down crushing everyone, except the white silhouette; everyone in the battlefield got on to their knees, blood came out rushing from their mouths.

a figure wearing the golden robe; descended on the ground and walk leisurely towards the white silhouette. With each step the pressure seems to increase.

the soldiers fainted in the strong pressure of a celestial realm, but the white silhouette didn't seem to be fazed by the strong pressure. The man in golden robe noticed the unusual situation and his handsome face frowned.

"I see, Long Qiang, you have been hiding your real cultivation; I didn't expect this from you." the man in golden robe said sarcastically.

Long Qiang didn't reply but attacked, he waved his hand, many swords made of ice shoot towards the man, the attack took the man by surprise and before he could summon his shield, he was injured heavily by the attack.

there was no emotion in Long Qiang' face, his eyes were bottomless black abyss. He looked at the man threateningly and said "Sargon, I'm not here to talk about my cultivation, I'm here to send you; to yellow springs[1]"

[Xiǎo-er :[1] the 'Yellow Springs' refers to the subterranean realm of the dead}

Sargon, broke the ice swords and composed himself, he gazed at Long Qiang with a hint of mockery in his eyes, there was a sound of laughter echoing in their surroundings, Sargon stopped laughing and asked with a chilling voice "you just stepped into the celestial realm and you think you can defeat me?"

Long Qiang sent another attack, this time Sargon immediately blocked it, with his sun shield appearing in the air.

a bow made of thin ice appear in Long Qiang' hand, the riser of the bow had a half moon made on it, he put his hand on the bow and an arrow appear made of ice.

Sargon looked surprised but didn't speak and patiently waited for the attack, Long Qiang released the arrow towards his target and five more arrows appeared side by side and move towards Sargon.

the moment arrows collided with the sun shield, a big phenomenon appeared; shaking the heavens and earth, the mountains collapsed, rivers splits and the ground slit opened, it was like all the living things died in the world.

Long Qiang and Sargon looked stunned everything around them was ruined, they cannot sense a single soul, there was not a single living being left.

fortunately, the sun shield suddenly disappeared. Sargon tried to summon his sun shield but it didn't came, he panicked and tried again to summon his sun shield, Long Qian took the opportunity and ruthlessly shoot the moon arrows, it was too late for Sargon to react and he, Sargon, a celestial realm powerhouse died a miserable death.

not even the ashes were left, he disappeared in the air, a celestial realm powerhouse died with one attack, this phenomenon was absolutely unheard off. but it was done by Long Qiang and with his moon bow.

Long Qiang looked at his surroundings sharply, there was not even a single thing that wasn't destroyed. He released his spiritual sense to find out if any living being is left, he sense a soul and became alert.

he realized, the other person also seems to be in the celestial realm, he sharpened his sense' and called out loudly, "Come out!"

a man wearing blue hanfu appeared out od thin air, his skin was pale, his eyes were blue; that seems to be as clear as the ocean, small button nose and red thin lips, he didn't dare to make an eye contact with Long Qiang and fidget with his hands.

Long Qiang looked at the man with amusement, with him being in the celestial realm; he can look at the anyone's soul and the man who was standing before him had a white aura surrounding him.

Which means, that the man' soul is pure, he asked, "who are you?"

"Ming Yong." the man answered, but didn't looked up. Long Qiang asked again "why did you help me? I know you are a magician and you hide the sun shield."

Long Qiang knew this because he can feel the strong pressure coming from Ming Yong, only magician of high level can kill a celestial realm powerhouse; this easily. magician' are famous for defeating the opponents of higher level.

Ming Yong looked around angrily, he didn't said anything, closed his eyes and start focusing on something. Long Qiang was about to say something, but than he noticed, his surroundings which were destroyed, revived? even the soldiers which were dead came back to life?.

he looked at Ming Yong and didn't speak for a while, Ming Yong opened his eyes and said, "are you dumb? if I didn't come, than you both would have destroyed everything here on this planet?, don't you care about the living beings; those are getting harmed by your carelessness? don't you know, how much damage will happen: if two celestial realm powerhouse fought with each other?" he took a deep breath to continue speaking.

However, before he could form a word, he was kissed on his lips by Long Qiang, his face turned into red and he said angrily, "You...You bastard!" Long Qiang smirked and passed out.

Ming Yong sigh helplessly and drag the emperor Long Qiang back to his Imperial Palace. the kingdom was newly found so there was not many people in the Palace, he healed the emperor and decided to take the bath.

the moment Ming Yong left Long Qiang' side, he opened his eyes and there was faint smile on his lips, he didn't know why, but he don't want to lose this person!.

no one knew, what happened in the fight between Fènghuáng and the Yīng kingdom. but the result was Fènghuáng kingdom won and successfully conquered the Yīng kingdom.

Long Qiang successfully control the chaos in two kingdoms and after a long time of persuasion, he married Ming Yong, he and Ming Yong was happy together, but happy day's didn't last long and soon all the neighbouring kingdoms join the forces to attack the Fènghuáng kingdom, which became an empire after conquering the Yīng kingdom.

the Yún, Sēnlín, Ruòchóng and Shīzi kingdom attacked the Fènghuáng empire. senile, "Emperor Long, the neighbouring kingdoms are attacking us, if we didn't take action soon, the Fènghuáng empire would be conquered by others!".

Long Qiang looked towards Ming Yong, who was busy in his thoughts, Ming Yong felt Long Qiang' gaze on him and turned his head towards Long Qiang.

"Since I'm a magician, I can help you built a strong barrier, but after I helped you reviving the kingdoms, I over used my power, I would lose all my cultivation, if I put more pressure, after all; I'm not omnipotent, magicians do have limits. do you want me to built a barrier to save Fènghuáng from outside world?" Ming Yong asked.

Long Qiang didn't took his words seriously and thought, 'it is impossible for a magician of celestial realm to lose all of his power, by just building a barrier.'

"No, I don't want you to built a barrier around 'my' empire, I want to conquer the kingdoms, those who came to fight with my Fènghuáng empire must die, I will widen my Fènghuáng empire" Long Qiang said.

Ming Yong scrutinize him deeply and said "don't you think that you are becoming too greedy?, now we are together, I don't mind losing my cultivation; I know with your power you can protect me!"

Long Qiang kissed him on the forehead and went to prepare for the war, Ming Yong didn't feel well and followed behind him secretly, since he is pregnant, Long Qiang didn't allow him to leave the Imperial Palace.

when Ming Yong came to the battlefield, Long Qiang was at disadvantage, the empress of Shīzi kingdom was also at celestial realm and the others were at the peak of Saint realm, Long Qiang was also not in a good condition, he didn't seem like; to be able to hold for long.

Since, they were at disadvantage, Ming Yong Closed his eyes and focus on making the barrier around the Fènghuáng empire and will throw the enemies out of the barrier directly, but he was interrupted by Long Qiang and barrier range he set, became extensive, containing kingdom Yún, Sēnlín, Ruòchóng, Shīzi, Yīng and Fènghuáng.

Once the process was started there is no going back, Ming Yong used all of his powers to make the big barrier powerful enough to hold the attacks by God realm powerhouses.

He ignored all Long Qiang' shouts and focused on making the barrier.

after the barrier was made Ming Yong' level rapidly go down to 'Qi foundation' layer and he became dizzy, but he didn't stop there and used all the remaining power to help Long Qiang. Since he was a ger and a magician with an unknown inheritance, his magic was more powerful than anyone.

after helping Long Qiang he immediately fainted but before he fainted, he felt something break inside him.

*

Ming Yong woke up after 1 month and Long Qiang was still in coma, the imperial physician told him; that he lost his child.

Ming Yong became depressed and lonely, Long Qiang was also not by his side, he needs to stabilise the empire, but before that; he used his last power to heal Long Qiang.

after Ming Yong built the barrier, there were suddenly many magical beasts appeared all over the empire. there was no normal beast left in the whole empire.

Ming Yong knew his child was going to be special, but he lost the child while saving his husband, and because of his unknown inheritance, the Fènghuáng empire became the only empire; those have magical beast in it.

Ming Yong became the laughing stock in the empire, since he was ger and he lost all his powers. many people called him a wicked man because everyone knew; ger' can't cultivate specially they can't become magician, magician are very rare, they are the treasure of the empire and magician of high level are respected and given the titles of noble, Ming Yong ignored everyone and patiently waited for Long Qiang to wake up from his deep slumber.

Long Qiang woke up, after getting healed by Ming Yong' power, when he learned; that Ming Yong lost the child, he changed and stop getting affection-ated with Ming Yong.

it was the time when Ming Yong needed Long Qiang the most, when he lost everything and became laughing stock, he desperately needed Long Qiang to console him.

Soon the empire became big and the most powerful; because of the barrier of unknown region. it was the time for Long Qiang to choose the new empress and concubines under the minister's pressure.

Ming Yong oppose the decision and didn't want his husband to have any other women.

*

"Qiang, you want to select new empress and concubines for imperial harem?, is it because I can't give you the child anymore? didn't you promise me, that you will never marry anyone except me? did you forget your wedding vows? do-" Ming Yong flinched at the sound of something getting smashed; to the ground.

Long Qiang walk towards Ming Yong, trapped him between his hands and held his chin tightly, "why didn't you listen to me that day? why did you sneak out of the Imperial palace? I told you not to come out and let me handle, but you came out, tried to play the hero and guess what? because of you; I lost my child."

Ming Yong didn't noticed his crystal tears that; keep on pouring from his eyes, he whimper and Long Qiang retracts his hand from Ming Yong' chin. there were red marks of his fingers.

"I sneak out of the Palace because, I want to save you and our empire, which we built together, I want to save my child's fat-" Long Qiang interrupted and asked "Who asked you to do this?"

Ming Yong was speechless, he didn't speak for a long time, and make an eye contact with Long Qiang.

Ming Yong felt pressure in the air, he fell down coughing blood from his mouth.

Ming Yong looked at Long Qiang again and asked, "now, you are using your celestial realm pressure on me?" he smiled but the tears keep on pouring from his eyes; betrayed him.

"I want to have a child, who will inherit my throne, since you lost the ability to become pregnant, I don't have any use left for you anymore."

"use?" Ming Yong repeated his words. "so, I was just a tool for you, who will give birth to your heir?" Ming Yong can't believe his words, he did so much for this man, but all he got in return was. 'did I ask?'

Long Qiang increased his pressure and said threateningly "I don't even know your origins and do you think I'm fool?, I know very well that a ger can't cultivate, but you can! and most importantly, I've never heard of a ger being a magician, do you think a lowly being like 'ger' can become someone noble?." after saying that Long Qiang left the room.

Ming Yong felt so wrong, he sacrificed his cultivation of celestial realm for him, lost his child, stabilised the empire in his absence and endure everyone's bad remarks but what did he get in return? nothing!

Ming Yong laughed at his foolishness, he needed this man's comfort right now, he is a normal mortal now, he can't handle so much mental pressure, he was slowly dying inside.

the moment he decided to go against heaven and revive everything for this man; the fight between Long Qiang and Sargon.

he didn't leave Long Qiang' side because he fell in love with him at first sight and didn't return to his family, but stayed with this man, he knew; he didn't have much time left. so, he wanted spend it with this man.

he hurts his inner soul more when he set the worng boundaries to make barrier for the empire, that's why he lost his child. he is a ger with pure soul, he can't handle much pressure on his soul, he tried to bear the pressure for the sake of his husband. he was wrong, he can't go against nature, his father was right, no matter how far your cultivation is, you can never become omnipotent or go against the heavens.

he was going through depression, when Long Qiang was in coma, he decided to heal his husband and seek comfort from this man, he didn't care if he lost his cultivation as long as he can have him.

Long Qiang put his celestial realm pressure on him and made his condition worse, he is a normal mortal not an immortal, he can die with a single flick from any immortal.

Ming Yong didn't find any comfort in this man and became desperate to have someone who can take care of him.

Ming Yong asked Long Qiang. since, he wanted to have a new empress, can he give him any title? Long Qiang told everyone Ming Yong is his general that helped him in the war.

*

Long Qiang was busy in his wedding preparation and forget about his 'mortal' ex-husband. Ming Yong was becoming more and more depressed everyday.

one day before the marriage Ming Yong was framed by one of the woman, who came for Imperial harem selection, she was jealous of Ming Yong' beauty.

Ming Yong was drugged, after he lost his cultivation, his senses became worse, he didn't notice anything unusual with the food and eat it.

when he felt hot all over his body, he tried to go for a bath; but he was caught by someone and after that all the memories were blur.

when Ming Yong woke up, he was slapped by someone on his cheek, he can't see the person nor hear anything. After getting hit by an immortal, he lost his senses, his eyes were blurry, he can't make out the picture of the person.

But he knew deep down in his heart, that it was Long Qiang, he don't wanted to believe in this, Long Qiang will never raise his hand on him, he saw Long Qiang was wearing red robe and he knew he was going to get married with the new empress.

*

Ming Yong didn't knew what's going on, someone came and dragged him to the prison? he didn't resist because his head was spinning and he didn't have any energy left in him.

after being thrown into the prison, he was molested by many people in the prison, for many day's? weeks?, he didn't know anything, he lost the counting and died. he didn't knew what happened and why he was molested by so many mens? why didn't Long Qiang came to save him from this hell.? was it a nightmare?.

[Xiǎo-er: the main story will start after this but it was also a part of the story and the most important one! so, Xiǎo-er decided to upload this first as a prologue.]

[Unedited]

ーmillion of years later.

Ming Yu and Ming Ai were the only two child's of General Ming Hai, his wife died whilst giving birth to the twins.

general Ming loves both of his child's but he is more biased towards his elder daughter. though Ming Yu and Ming Ai are twins, he doesn't give much attention to his younger son.

Ming Yu was a ger and ger' were pretty useless, they don't have golden core or mage root and without these things, no one can cultivate, except having a good, petite body and translucent skin; they are nothing, In Fènghuáng empire only the strong are respected and the weak' are bullied.

Ger' don't have any rights, if they are getting molested, they need to relay on their own selves for the protection, no one will come forward to save them. only 10% of the population in Fènghuáng empire were ger', the 60% are warriors and the rest 30% are magicians.

ger' are very rare, if their families can't protect them, they can give ger' to the 'ger trafficking organisation', it's special organisation made for ger', they are demanded in the market.'

Ming Yu was one of the ger, not many people were aware of this, his father never let him came out from his courtyard, Ming Yu had a small red dot on his wrist. he spend his 18 years of life in his lavishly decorated courtyard.

Ming Yu was sad, his caretaker told him; that his 'jiejie[1]' is getting married with the emperor and he is not allowed to attend his jiejie' wedding.

[Xiǎo-er: [1] jiejie means elder sister.]

Ming Yu had only heard about the emperor from his caretaker, all he knew is; that the emperor is cold hearted, cruel and bloodthirsty. He can't understand, why emperor insists on getting married with his jiejie?.

Ming Yu was happy for his jiejie, soon his jiejie is going to become the future empress, but he was worried; after her wedding, he won't be allowed to meet his jiejie.

he don't know if the emperor; would let him meet his jiejie, the emperor hated the ger' and unfortunately he was one of them.

Ming Yu, sneak out of his courtyard and went to his secret place, there was a big garden in the back of his courtyard. he sat there alone thinking, his jiejie is going to leave him soon, they didn't even inform him, when his jiejie is getting married. his courtyard is in the back of the Ming manor.

there is only one nanny to take care of him, he is pretty much isolated from the outside world. his father told him, he is allowed to go out in the world; after his wedding. Ming Yu have been patiently waiting for his husband to come and take him to the outside world.

Ming Yu heard the rustle sound behind him and didn't bother to turn back, he said, "thanks the heavens, you are back, I need someone to share my sadness." a little girl appeared behind him and said, "Is that a thing to be sad? don't worry, if your jiejie is going to left you, I'm not going anywhere."

Ming Yu turned towards her and said, "Xiao Xiao, after a long time of thinking, I came to the conclusion." Xiao Qiu look towards him suspiciously and asked, "what conclusion? and don't call me Xiao Xiao, I'm thousand years older than you! brat!"

"I want husband!" Ming Yu, declared in a loud voice. Xiao Qiu chokes on her saliva and said, "What the hell?, why do want a husband, suddenly?"

before Ming Yu could answer Xiao Qiu stood up and said "someone is coming" and than she vanished. Ming Yu gazed for a long time; where Xiao Qiu vanished and thought, 'why did she have to be so dramatic? no one can see her except him.'

Ming Yu didn't know the origin of Xiao Qiu, he can see Xiao Qiu from the moment he was born and no one else can see her, not even his jiejie, Xiao Qiu told him not to tell anyone about her existence or else they both will get in lots of trouble. Ming Yu don't want to get in trouble so, he never told anyone about her existence.

"Yu-er!", his jiejie called him and embraced him tightly, Ming Yu looked at his jiejie with a pitiful look and said, "jiejie, you are going to leave me soon, can you do me a favour?, it's the last thing, I'm asking to you" He, intentionally made puppy face, he knew his jiejie can't resist his puppy face.

Ming Ai' gaze sharpened and she said "If it's within my ability, I will definitely help you, now tell me what do you want?" Ming Yu giggled and said "I want husband!"

Ming Ai was stunned for a while than she burst into laughter. "You-You want husband?" Ming Ai rolled on the ground and laughed.

Ming Yu glared at his jiejie, Ming Ai composed herself and said, *ahem* "so, why do you want a husband?" she tried hard to sound serious.

Ming Yu sighed and said, "I want to go outside from my courtyard, I want to experience the real world and I want to make lots of friends. father said, I can go out with my husband. so, I want my husband!"

after listening to Ming Yu, Ming Ai became stiff and her laughter died down, she embraced her baby brother and said softly, "Yu-er, if you want to go outside, I can take you but you mustn't tell father about this, we will sneak outside the manor after midnight and I will show you, many beautiful places."

Ming Yu became happy, he agreed to sneak out of the manor, it's his first time disobeying his father but he knows, nothing bad will happen as long as; he has his jiejie with him. "jiejie, you are the best, I'm gonna miss you...... after your marriage." Ming Yu whispered the last part.

Ming Ai didn't said anything and hugged her baby brother tightly. her baby brother was really naive, she wanted to protect him forever.

Ming Ai bid goodbye to her baby brother and told him to wait for her, in his courtyard.

Ming Yu was excited to go outside. he bid goodbye to his jiejie and happily came back to his chamber, to eat food.

the night arrived soon, both the twins meet at the said place and started their night adventure.

Ming Ai was famous in all over the Fènghuáng empire, she was the genius in younger generation to reach emperor realm at the age of 18. she was the beauty of Fènghuáng empire but nothing compared to her baby brother. no one knew about Ming Yu' existence. he was a ger and in order to protect him, their father kept him hidden from outside world.

her talent caught the eye of emperor and he praised her on many occasions, she didn't want to marry the emperor, she don't want to become the empress, she don't like Imperial Palace. a place full of snakes.

sometimes she is glad; the emperor didn't knew the existence of her brother, deep down she knew the emperor loves to collect beautiful 'things' and she was one of the beautiful 'thing'.

he have many concubines in his harem, all of them were top beauties. what if one day the emperor find out about her brother?, she shuddered at this thought and didn't want to imagine the consequences. Ming Ai sigh and patted her brothers head.

they managed to sneak out of the manor easily, though Ming family has great emperor realm ancestor but they won't notice the absence of her brother and since she is powerful no one will make a ruckus; if they find out; that she is not at the manor.

She brought Ming Yu to the market, Ming Yu was looking around happily and he touched everything he came across, Ming Ai had a smile plastered on her face, she had never seen her baby brother this happy, she was glad to bring him outside.

Ming Yu stopped at one of the stall and asked excitedly, "waah! jiejie, what is this?" Ming Ai, laughed seeing the twinkling look in her brother's eyes. she said, "this is just an old dirty mirror, it's nothing special, this stall sold old things, which are not useful anymore; you won't be interested in this, this is nothing interesting let's leave."

Ming Yu gazed at the mirror for a long time and said, "jiejie, i want this old mirror." Ming Ai didn't want to make her brother sad. so, she purchased it for him; in 1 spirit stone.

Ming Yu took the mirror and put it in his spatial ring. he happily looked around the market and purchased many things for himself and his jiejie.

no matter how powerful or careful Ming Ai is, Ming Yu was meant to catch the attention of everyone, as a ger his beauty is parallel to the world, Ming Ai was nothing but a dust compared to Ming Yu. his child like laughter; innocent heterochromic; one gold and one red eye, long silver hairs; floating in the air, pouty red lips, natural red blush on the cheeks, translucent skin and his innocent actions caught the attention of many people.

Ming Ai was so busy admiring her brother, she didn't noticed the change in her surroundings and bring Ming Yu to the lion's den. there was a famous restaurant 'Mèngxiǎng' for noble people to eat.

it was three story high building, divided into floors, first one for warriors, second for magicians, and third one for the nobles and the emperor.

Ming Ai brought Ming Yu to the second floor since she is a high level magician and went to the private room. She ordered all the top food for her baby brother.

Ming Yu curiously asked, "jiejie, what is cultivation?, I heard some people were talking about it, on the street."

food will take time to arrive. so, she started explaining about cultivation. "there are two types of people those who can cultivate, magician and warriors. the realms are the same but there is a difference in power.

Qi condensation, the first realm from 1 to 9 stage. in this the cultivator needs to absorb pure spiritual Qi; in order to form strong base, purify body by expelling the waste. If the body didn't expel the waste, than the cultivator won't be able to step into the next realm and the cultivation will become unstable.

foundation Stage, second realm from 1 to 9 stage. cultivators needs to be extra careful whilst building their foundation. If it is cultivated properly; without any rush, than it can make cultivators divine senses powerful, far beyond normal people.

these two realms are the test for cultivators, it's hard to pass the threshold of these two realms but once you did, your journey for becoming an immortal starts. many people weren't able to cross these realms and remain forever stuck in them.

Emperor realm, only have low, mid and high stages. after stepping into this realm, there is no need to worry about Qi Deviation, cultivators with Inner Demons in their heart; will folllow their evil desires. it will cause a great internal damage to the body. Qi in the body will become turbulent.

Great emperor realm, have low, mid and high stages. only few can step into this realm, this realm have an immense amount of power.

Saint realm. early, mid and late stages. when ones reaches the transcend understanding about heaven and land and fuses their soul with the land and sky.

Celestial realm have early, mid and late stages. cultivators of this realm are rare, they can use the power of the Domain and create their own pocket dimensions.

If one needs to step into Celestial realm, they must first go through the Intermediate Six tribulation.

For stepping into God realm, immortals needs go through Nine heavenly tribulations, they only have one chance, if they died during heavenly tribulations than, they will become mortal or evil demons.

the higher the realm/Stage gets, the more difficulty will be in cultivation.

Cultivators are born with Profound Veins and Golden Core without these, the person will be a mere mortal.

Magician's also have the same realms and stages but they are born with mage root. mage root is like a third eye. an ordinary person is gifted with approximately one or two elements to control. while a person with high innate talent can control upto four elements.

Magician's are more powerful than the warriors." Ming Ai, took a deep breathe and looked towards her confused brother.

She laughed and said "Yu-er, if you don't understand than don't force yourself, I can explain again" Ming Yu, gazed at his jiejie and said, "jiejie, I understand. but why I don't have any?"

Ming Ai stiffened and said, "because my Yu-er is unique." Ming Yu looked down, his face red with embarrassment.

their food arrived, they both eated the food while chatting and spend 2-3 hours, it was the third period of the night; when Ming Ai decided to head back to the manor.

Ming Ai and Ming Yu both came out of the room and started heading for the exit. before they can step out of the restaurant, many magicians and warriors blocked their way.

Ming Ai, scrutinize her surroundings dangerously and said, "don't you know, who I'm? do you really want to block your future empress' way?, get out of the way". Ming Yu hide behind his jiejie, he is new to all this, he was feeling pretty uncomfortable around so many people.

they all looked at each other and cleared the way for both of them. Ming Ai understood the seriousness of the situation and hurried to leave, her cultivation level is not high enough to fight so many people together.

the moment she took a step outside the restaurant, she hit an invisible barrier. Ming Ai, frowned and said loudly, "if you, really want to go against the future empress, than I will count it as a treason and you will be punished severely!"

"I guess, our future empress forgot the rules, no one can save the ger, they need to rely on themselves for protection." one of the noble said.

Ming Ai, gritted her teeth and said, "I brought him here. he belongs to me, is Lord Tao, himself forgot the rules? and wanted to rob my belonging?". She didn't left any room for fighting and left with Ming Yu.

Ming Yu was petrified, he hold his jiejie' cloth and followed her out of the restaurant.

[Unedited]

Ming Yu tightly clutched his jiejie' hand and tried to hide his face. it's been 5 minutes since they left the restaurant and everyone keep on glancing towards Ming Yu.

It was Ming Yu' first time outside and it turns out to be horrible. his excitement for the outside world died; after the restaurant's incident.

Ming Ai noticed her brother's spirit was down and decided to take him to the bridge build on the Yīng river, which connects the kingdom Yīng and kingdom Fènghuáng together. the view of the bridge was amazing at night.

Ming Yu, "jiejie, aren't we going back to the manor?". Ming Ai laughed softly and said, "No. I promised, my Yu-er to show the beautiful places in the empire. since some people ruined our dinner. I want to show you the beautiful scenery and than we will head back to the manor."

after a long peaceful walk they visited the bridge. Ming Yu looked at the bridge and his eyes widened in surprise, he ran towards the bridge, which was hidden in the creepers. there was a big cherry blossom tree; on the side of the river, covering the bridge in pink creepers; the tree hid the whole bridge.

there were lotuses blooming around the both sides of the bridge, fireflies were flying, gentle wind was blowing, the petals were falling slowly, the night was peaceful and the view was relaxing.

Ming Yu stood at the bridge and gazed at the sky for a long time, than he said slowly. "jiejie, thanks for bringing me here, this was my first time outside and you made this unforgettable. I'm going to miss you!"

his eyes were misty from tears which were threatening to fall from his eyes. but he didn't let them fall.

Ming Yu didn't get any reply from his jiejie. so, he turned back to look at his jiejie. but there was someone else standing, to whom he didn't recognized. he yelp and placed a hand on his fast beating heart.

Ming Yu looked at the man, who was wearing black robe and a mask on his face. only his eyes can be seen, the man's whole body was covered in black clothes, his eyes were golden. Ming Yu didn't dare to look at the man for a long time and said, "ex-excuse-me?" in his small and soft voice.

there was an awkward silence between both, the man keep on glaring holes in Ming Yu' head. for someone, who never interacted with people, Ming Yu didn't know how to break the awkwardness in the air.

the peaceful night silence was broken by the screech of a woman. Ming Yu recognised the voice and his whole being turned tensed.

there was a loud sound of sword clashing, before Ming Yu could process more, he was suddenly pulled by the man in his embrace and in just one step the man took him behind the big cherry blossom tree.

the moment they left, people from the Mèngxiǎng restaurant came. one of them said, "damn it! we lost the beauty!" another one said, "if the young miss from the Ming manor is here; than he must be hiding somewhere, let's go and find him."

than they all scattered into different directions. Ming Yu was pressed against the man's chest, his whole body was shaking, he have never been close to anyone; except his jiejie, he hates close contact, not even his caretaker touches him and now he was in a stranger's embrace.

Ming Yu didn't dare to do anything, he didn't even budge from where he was standing; afraid the man will do something.

he can feel the man's breathe on his neck, but what surprised him was, the man's sudden action of sniffing his neck. Ming Yu' whole body freezes on the spot and he didn't dare to breathe.

the woman's screech broke the intimate scene between the both, the man suddenly tensed and stopped his action.

Ming Yu was disappointed, when the man stopped his action, but he didn't pay much attention and focused on the heartbreaking screech, Ming Yu didn't waste a second and start struggling in the man's embrace. he said, "Please, let me go I want to go back to my jiejie."

the man loses his grip on Ming Yu and followed Ming Yu to the other side of the bridge, In the direction, from where the woman's screech came.

Ming Yu witnessed the scene which he can't imagine in his wildest dream, there were three people surrounding his jiejie' body, which was lying on the ground. one of them was gripping Ming Ai with her hairs, the other one crazily keep on stabbing her stomach and the third one, who looks like the boss; stood there gazing everything with a bored expressions.

Ming Yu thought his jiejie was the strongest and no one can harm her. but his imagination was brutally shattered by the scene in front of his eyes.

Ming Yu, without thinking rushed towards his jiejie, he pushed the crazily man away, who keep on stabbing his jiejie and held Ming Ai' hand. he gazed at his jiejie' abdomen and the intestines could be seen.

the scene makes Ming Yu to vomit all the food; he eat in the restaurant, but he took deep breathes and hold his jiejie.

the one whom Ming Yu thrown away, crazily marched towards Ming Yu with the knife tightly clutched in his hand, but he was stopped by his boss, whose eyes suddenly sparkled with lust, "this young man is the one; our master told me to search for!"

the man stop dead in his tracks and looked towards Ming Yu, licking his lips; he said, "the young Master's taste is really good, he is able to find such a beauty and on top of that a ger!"

the one who was holding Ming Ai' hairs extended his hand to grasp Ming Yu, but before his hand could reach, a wind blade came and cut off his arm.

the sudden attack alerted the three men, the three men' were suddenly scared because they didn't notice anyone's presence; which means the one who is attacking is a higher level master.

the boss realised the situation is out of control because they can't afford to offend a high level master and quickly tear the teleportation talisman of low level. the three of them vanished in an instant.

Ming Yu didn't care about anything except his jiejie, "jiejie, ple-please do-don't lose your *sob* con-consciousness."

Ming Ai' vision was blurred but she can recognized her baby brothers voice, she said, "Yu-Yuer, leave from her-" she coughed a mouthful of blood. Ming Yu cried harder, "jiejie, hold on for a-a while I wi-will find some-someone for help."

Ming Ai grasped Ming Yu' hand and said, "no; don-don't, I don't have mu-much time left, you l-leave from here and ple-" she put her hand on Ming Yu' cheek and said her last words, "please tak-take care of you-yourself, your jiejie can-can't keep her promise." her hand fall down leaving a stain of blood on Ming Yu' cheek.

Ming Yu refused to except the fact that his jiejie is lying lifeless in his arms. "jiejie, please wake up; I'm sorry from now on I won't ask for anything, just wake up and stop this prank, I won't complain, I will saty obediently in the manor..."

Ming Yu keep on speaking, whatever comes into his mind; in hope his jiejie might wake up, he cried harder holding his jiejie tightly.

the once peaceful night turned into the worst nightmare for Ming Yu.

the man looked at the two figures, under the cherry blossom tree, one was lifeless and the other was holding the dead figure in his embrace, the cherry petals were falling from the tree.

if this was some other time, the man must have appreciated such a beautiful scenery; the two figures were creating under the cherry blossom, but the heartbreaking cries of the young man was indicating that this scene is agonizing.

the man stood for a while and left, his mind was in a chaotic state, his cold heart was moved by the young man's heartbreaking cries, he chuckled and said bitterly.

「"In the peaceful and tranquil night,

beneath the cherry blossom tree,

listening to your heartbreaking cries,

make my heart ache.

as those beautiful eyes cries,

I wish to wipe those tears with the blossom petals.

seeing those innocent eyes witnessing such a heartbreaking scene,

I wish to take you away from this cruel world.

I'm jealous of the moon,

as it get' the chance to appreciate your beauty,

to illuminate your face with it's light.

I wish to never listen those heartbreaking cries,

the cherry blossom brings the happiness

but why it is bringing you such an agonizing pain?

it's strange to watch you cry beneath the cherry blossom tree,

as, I wish to wipe those tears with the blossom petals.~"」

no one heard those beautiful words; the wind carried the words away with it's gentle breeze.

Ming Yu cried the whole night, the dawn came and a new journey starts in Ming Yu' little world.
