Episode 4.

So,Me! Of all people! Your concubine?! No,thank you, Ling said while sitting down. You have been chosen so you have to oblige,Qi Ying Ling,Li said. You think I would say or even dream*mimicking lovestruck women* No,I won't fall in love with you.....ever! You're annoying,Ling said. I'm only your doctor,nothing more. All the women in the land would kill so as to be my Childe's personal maid,so why? Ming exclaimed. Both of you are so annoying and you're always following me,so......no! Ling said.

Ling stood up and tore the red garments she was sent by him and placed the hairpins infront of his boots and she remained with a man looking attire. Sorry,but no! I will survive alone and happy with Erina and my kids,period! I won't be a housewife that only folds clothes and makes ink for you and goes garment shopping,Ling said while heading for the door. I'm sorry,but choose another beautiful LOVESTRUCK woman to be your concubine,she said and then she left. Erina,why did you come back? I told you to go back to check on Haruto and the others,Ling said as she saw Erina on the staircase. I was worried about you,my lady. And the kids understood so I came back,Erina said innocently. Okay,let's go home. I wanna make some sweets for you and kids. And they left the villa. Chi.....Childe?! She....She.....She rejected you! But why?! Ming stammered. Childe just looked at Ling and Erina walking away and then said,She's interesting. I must have her at all cost! Ming,I want you escort me somewhere at night. As you wish,Childe,Ming bowed and left. Qi Ying Ling.......Just who on Earth are you?

When they reached home,Ling cooked for them miso ramen and made them elixirs to replenish their mana and skills and health too. Then Ling tucked the kids into bed and Erina went to sleep. After a few minutes,she went to sleep as well. Then after a few hours......

Let's go! We don't have time to waste! Let's take them at the edge of the forest! A voice said. Now! Some assassins went in the house and took the kids. Haruto and Yuri struggled and shouted, Mommy! Shut up,you brats,they said. And they were all in a coma. Ling jolted out of bed and when she went out the door,she saw disappear. Shit! Ling shouted boiling with rage. She activated a barrier around the house so as to protect Erina and the house. The she rushed where they stood and bent on one knee and closed her eyes so as to track them. There! She exclaimed. And then she stood and teleported there and saw them and the kids being held.

Haruto and Mei's hands and limbs were grazed with knives and Xuan and Yuri's wrists were slightly slit.

Kill her! One of them said and ten assassins rushed to her. You made a mistake you fools,Ling said while looking down. She rose her head and then skewered their hearts with ice crystals that look like glass. Why? Why did you take them? They're just innocent children.......*swiftly skewered one of them* What did they do to deserve this?*skewers another one* One of the female assassins nervously tried to talk telepathically to the mastermind and when she made contact she said panickly,Come help us! Please! You have to take responsibility! What's wrong? She asked. Everything! But she wanted to continue,Ling threw a crystal and it went straight for the heart and then she died. She was so angry that she crushed their heads with her heel. She carried them all and hugged them and said bitterly and said, ****! I'm sorry! Then she felt two energies looking at her then she threw two shards of ice,but when she noticed it was just Childe and Ming she folded her fist and they stopped aiming. She stood up, levitated them, camouflaged them and said coldly, I said to leave me alone. Go back to where you came from. Childe came here to help......I don't need it,Ling cut him off.

Since you I'm not just a nobody, and I know alot about you. You are not to tell another soul about this, Ling said as she was leaving the forest. But before she was leaving,she felt something. She went close to Childe but then stood back. I'm waiting for something,Ling said. 5,4,3....2,1.... What are you..........Then Childe slumped on the floor holding his chest. Childe! What's wrong?! Ming said trying to see what's wrong. Help my Childe,please! Ming said tears in his eyes. Sheesh! Fine! You don't have to cry,Ling said intently and bent down to see him. She poked him and said,It's getting worse. All the three toxins are attacking him all at once. Ming,Move! she said.

She held up his head and kissed him. She pushed her hand into his heart and took a blue crystal out of it and then the tip of her tongue touched his. Damn. The crystal is quite cold,she thought. When she put the crystal down,the ground beneath it froze. What did you do to my......Shut up,Ming! You're not being useful by complaining! Ling said looking at him. She made an imaginary criss cross with her hand and the wound on his heart healed. He teleported them to his villa and put him on the bed.

He's breathing,So it seems I'll have no other choice but live here as his doctor,ONLY! He'll wake up as soon as the sun is at North East,understand? Ling said as slitting her wrist and putting some of her blood in a small blue bowl. He'll take this as soon as he wakes up,she said and left.

As soon as she got home,she tended to their wounds and tucked them to bed. You really went too far this time,Consort Xiao. I'll make you suffer,I swear! Ling gritted her teeth.

The next day,Ling and the others packed,and went to Childe's villa. When they reached there,Ming was waiting for them. What took you so long,I was..... But when Erina looked up at him,they just stared at each other. I think they're gonna fall in love,Yuri said holding her cheeks. The others including Ling agreed. Mm-hmm mm-hmm,they chuckled. Ming directed them to their quarters and he took Ling to Childe's room. He's still not awake,huh? Ling said. Yes. I'll leave you to it. I've never seen Childe this interested in a person. Ever. Not even Maki. But why does it have to be you? Ming said. Never mind.....Then he left.

He felt his temperature then just looked at him. She was left with no other choice. She drunk her blood then fed him mouth to mouth. Then as he swallowed it,he kissed her back. Ling didn't notice the sun.

Mm......No! I'm your doctor! And why did you do that? Ling said while licking the excess off her mouth. Eat this. Schisandria berries and other medicinal assortment. What is this? He asked weakly. Don't ask stupid questions and eat. Thank you,he said. As she was about to leave,he pulled her and kissed her. She stood up and said coldly, Don't do that again. And then she left.
