Chapter 11 – Rest Assured, I Will Not Kill You
“Ah—-!!” Zhu Zhong Ba screamed as he flew backwards, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.
He frantically retreated and took out a whip from inside his Storage Ring, completely lacking in coordination and skill he faced He Xi while still disoriented.
He Xi’s stature was very nimble so she certainly wasn’t going to get an injury from the whip, however from the top of the whip a dark and cold aura could be felt, rousing her interest.
She dodge to the side, her action too fast to follow. Grabbing the whip she faced the fat Zhu Zhong Ba as she firmly tugged several times on the whip.
Zhu Zhong Ba screamed as the whip was tugged on repeatedly, scared witless, until finally his screaming voice became too hoarse to be heard.
He Xi saw Zhu Zhong Ba’s sorry figure that was unceasingly rolling on the ground and sneered: “Indeed this is a good whip, it’s wasted being owned by you though.”
If her guess was right it was made using a type of animal bone, clear white, tough yet soft, the barb on top of the whip could freely stretch, she really picked up a treasure.
On the other side, Zhu Zhong Ba’s miserable howling had finally attracted the guards from outside to come in.
The first ones to arrive, sure enough, were those four Foundation Establishment stage martial artist guards. The corner of He Xi’s mouth raised, in her hands there were already well prepared Invisible Needles. Suddenly they flew from her hands towards the guards like falling rain.
“Ah—-! My spiritual power, why can’t I use my spiritual power?!”
“You evil woman, what underhanded trick did you use on us again?”
The martial artists from the entire courtyard had gathered here so the Invisible Needles had sealed not only the four Foundation Establishment stage guards, but also the large party of Qi Refining stage martial artist’s Dantian, rendering them unable to use their spiritual power.
After that He Xi’s hands slightly trembled and a faint fragrance permeated the air.
Still feeling indignant at the injustice of losing their spiritual power, the guards suddenly felt themselves weaken, powerlessly they collapsed to the ground.
At this moment they couldn’t resist, they didn’t even have the ability to shout for help.
He Xi picked up the Slave Ownership Card that had fallen to the ground and put it in her space, then lightly stepping forward, the corner of her mouth curved into a sinister and secretive smile.
Zhu Zhong Ba’s fat face looked like a pig head, swollen with purple bruises and criss crossed with red whip marks, his eyes were extremely frightened: “Young lady, brave woman, great aunt, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don’t kill me!!”
He Xi squatted down and lightly patted the tragic sight of Zhu Zhong Ba’s fat pig face.
“I had said you were a dead fat pig, so if you had pain attention why would you still not behave? This great aunt’s small advantage just because you want it you think you can have it?”
“I wouldn’t dare, wu wu wu, I wouldn’t dare anymore!”
He Xi who felt disgusted just looking at the weeping form of Zhu Zhong Ba dripping mucus and tears sneered: “Unfortunately it’s too late! You’ve been provoking I, this great aunt, and want to escape unscathed just like that? Dream on!”
He Xi, sick of the weeping Zhu Zhong Ba kicked him until he fainted then proceeded to drag over those four guards that seemed like dead pigs.
“Didn’t you say you wanted me to taste the experience of wanting to die but being unable to?”
The arrogance in the little girl’s smile filled with demonic laughter, her cold eyes flashed a ruthlessness making them terrified.
“You....do you know who are we?” Among them one guard that appeared fierce but was actually cowardly at heart spoke, “We are people from Jin Ling Kingdom’s richest Zhu Family, if you touch Young Master Zhu and us, you will stand as Zhu Family’s enemy.”
“Pei! You’re not too difficult to deal with, you’re merely an ordinary person! If we had detected it a moment ago we wouldn’t have been trapped by your evil trick! Zhu Family has countless martial artists, at that time a tiny individual with no power like you wouldn’t be able to step on us as you wish!”
“You should just let us go, if not you will have to face with the rest of us.”
The four guard words were filled with threats and implications of despising an ordinary person like herself.
He Xi laughed angrily. This group of incompetent slags, apart from relying on their martial artist identities to bully others, what else can they do?
Her quiet voice that reached their ears was bitingly cold, like a whisper from hell: “Rest assured, I will not kill you.”
Chapter 12 – Kindness Will Be Repaid, Wrongs Must Be Avenged
Having heard what He Xi said made the four guards relax, they looked at He Xi’s eyes with extreme disdain.
“Humph! You know your worth, it’s good that you know you don’t have the qualifications to against the Zhu Family. Release us immediately, perhaps our Master and his family will let you off!”
He Xi ignored them and continued with what she had been about to say: “Killing all of you is simply too cheap for you. Since you look down upon ordinary people so much, in your lifetime, you should properly experience feeling like an ordinary person!”
Finished speaking, the Invisible Needles in her hands suddenly flew.
This time the Invisible Needles did not shoot towards the acupuncture point to seal their Dantian, rather it was towards their central Dantian Sea of Qi.
Their ears seemed to hear a soft ‘chi’ sound, the next moment intense spiritual energy flashed throughout the air.
“Ah ah ah ah—–!!!!” Mournful sounds were suddenly heard. Like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves, the screams resonated through the sky.
The bodies of the four guards suddenly felt as though they had been broken, their spiritual power was unable to be stored any more. Throughout the four limbs of their body and bones, every inch of their meridians and flesh no longer carried any spiritual power.
In the blink of an eye, they could no longer feel the pulse of their Dantian, they couldn’t even feel any activity in their spiritual energy.
And so their complexions, the speed completely visible to the naked eye, rapidly aged! Just a few short breaths and they changed from their thirties, in the prime of life, into fifty to sixty year old men.
Having their Dantian broken caused the spiritual energy to dissipate, their cultivation base disappeared in a flash.
A person’s Dantian was hidden in the body, their spiritual power was like a shelter for it. Being able to destroy a person’s Dantian, for that to happen is very near impossible.
However with He Xi relying on her formidable needle technique and her understanding of the human body structure, she can easily accomplish it.
From now on till forever, these four guards would no longer be able to cultivate, unable to advance their cultivation stage. They will become the most despised, an ordinary person, a group of incompetent old men.
On the side there were guards with cultivation bases at the Qi Refining stage, watching and scared, as quiet as a cicada in winter, their entire bodies trembling.
He Xi glanced at them and faintly said: “With a debt of gratitude I have always used kindness to repay kindness, but enemies will be repaid with revenge. They messed with me so this is their fate. You and I do not to have grievances or any hatred, naturally I will not make a move on all of you.”
When this was heard everyone immediately exhaled a long breath, their heart relaxed, the next minute each and every one of them began to close their eyes and pretend to sleep.
Even when He Xi started dragging out Zhu Zhong Ba and those four guards, they also pretended not to see anything.
This must be a joke, if the Master of the Zhu Family were to punish them that is a small matter, if they provoked this great aunt they would end up with a crippled cultivation base, then in this lifetime they can considered to be finished.
Therefore, Young Master Zhu, you have no other choice than to seek good fortune for yourself!
At this time, the Young Master Zhu that was being pitied by everyone looked like a dead pig as he was dragged to the courtyard of Welcoming Hall.
When He Xi tied him to a pillar, the swollen pig headed face of Young Master Zhu slowly started to awaken.
“You....what are you doing?”
Zhu Zhong Ba’s eyes opened wide, his entire body was in pain, like someone had separated his muscles from the bones.
But he was unable to do anything because suddenly, before his eyes, He Xi’s demonic smile once again appeared on her face. This type of psychological attack caused his mind to shutdown, breaking his spirit.
Not waiting for Zhu Zhong Ba to speak, He Xi took out three Invisible Needles, with a flick of her hand she threw them at Zhu Zhong Ba’s body.
Zhu Zhong Ba could feel the meridians in his body become sluggish, his Dantian felt like it was sealed, no longer was he able to use spiritual power.
Of course, this kind of sealing the meridians and Dantian was different to becoming permanently crippled, it was merely causing the cultivation base to be sealed for a short time.
This time He Xi had used three Invisible Needles, so that the Zhu Zhong Ba that had a cultivation base on the Qi Refining stage, for a short time he couldn’t use spiritual powet internally.
Immediately after that He Xi took out several needles attached with the Slave Restriction spell, ruthlessly inserting them into Zhu Zhong Ba’s brain.
The Invisible Needles instantly disappeared in his huge head. He Xi placed her hand on the vein on Zhu Zhong Ba’s wrist, confirming that the Invisible Needles and Slave Restriction spell were already in his internal brain, forming the Brain Domain Restriction spell, only then was she satisfied and released her hand.
Chapter 13 – Red Fruit of a Fat Pig
Zhu Zhong Ba started screaming, his face terrified: “You evil woman, what did you do to me?! Why can’t I use my spiritual power....”
For a cultivator, for the cultivation base to become crippled, it’s the same as becoming an ordinary person. Compared to death it’s a terrible torture.
He Xi ignored him, rather, she took out a dagger and with a few quick swipes, cut his clothes into pieces.
The courtyard gate had somehow opened without anyone noticing, allowing a cold wind to blow in.
Zhu Zhong Ba’s clothes fluttered in the breeze, slowly falling to the ground, leaving only worn out, raggedy pants to still hang on his body, making him want to cover it but he couldn’t.
“Tsk tsk!” He Xi shook her head and sighed, “I thought the clothes you were wearing were ugly enough, I didn’t expect that when I removed your clothes you would be so ugly to the point of blinding people’s eyes. To say you are fat pig, it’s simply insulting to an actual pig.”
“Lowly woman, you sure have the ability to attack this young master!” Growing up Zhu Zhong Ba had been raised with a gold spoon in his mouth, he had never received such a humiliation, hysterically he roared, “Lowly woman, I will dismember your body into a thousand pieces!”
He Xi contemptuously laughed, “Based on your stupid appearance now, you still think you can dismember my body into a thousand pieces? I, this great aunt, is so afraid!”
“You just wait! Wait until I’m saved, I absolutely will not let you off! Even if I have to chase after you till the end of the earth, I will kill you!”
“Ha ha ha....alright, I will wait!” He Xi laughed, “Just so you know, you don’t need to chase after me till the end of the earth. I can tell you now, my name is Nalan Fei Xue, Nalan manor’s Second Miss, the genius doctor Nalan Zheng Ze’s daughter, you can just come and find me to settle this account!”
“Nalan Fei Xue....” Zhu Zhong Ba gnashed his teeth while loudly repeating this name, his eyes flashing red with thoughts of wanting to bite and crush her to death, “I certainly will not let you off!”
He Xi ignored his roaring, following suit with what she had done to Zhu Zhong Ba, she stripped the four guard’s clothes and tied them one by one to the pillar in the middle of the hall.
For the items on Zhu Zhong Ba and the bodies of the four guards, including the precious Storage Ring on Zhu Zhong Ba’s hand, she kindly accepted it all out of the goodness in her heart.
“Bang——-!!” With a loud echoing crash, He Xi completely destroyed the courtyard’s main gate, causing the scene in the Hall to be plainly visible to people walking past.
Every person in the courtyard was then hit by her, resulting with at least one day and one night that they couldn’t even crawl to get up.
To be believed that when tomorrow morning arrived, when the first strands of the suns rays shined in here, there will certainly be many people who will see the world’s best scene inside this house.
Facing the pale silver moonlight, He Xi spun around and rushed back to Zhu Zhong Ba in the middle of the hall, wearing a brilliant grin: “You can show your ugly body in front of people, but your Honour, don’t forget to thank me later! Remember, my name is Nalan Fei Xue!”
Turning around the smile on He Xi’s face changed, twisting into something sinisterly dark and cold.
Nalan’s Second Miss, Nalan Fei Xue? He he, since you think Nalan He Xi blocked your path, if I didn’t do something and just ignored your actions, wouldn’t that be too sad for you?
No one should scheme against her, He Xi, after this if they couldn’t afford to pay the bitter price, like in her previous life.
Now she was also holding this body’s original, Nalan He Xi’s, portion of karma.
The quickly departing He Xi didn’t know that after she left, about an incense stick worth of time, a shadow sprang from the courtyard, quickly rushing to the luxurious official residence nearby, next to Yan Jing Imperial Palace.
In the silence of the night, a mans laughter without restraint was suddenly heard from inside the official residence building.
The man’s laughter was deep and low. It resounded loudly, similar to a cello string being plucked, with layers of hidden depth it teased a persons heart.
His laughter at this moment was filled with overflowing interest, “Really only grows more and more interesting. This king is impatient and wants to immediately meet her.”
“The information that I asked you to investigate, have you received it yet?”
“The information has just arrived Master, please have a look.”
The man took the offered Jade Slip with eyes full of curiosity, his expression slowly changing as he absorbed the information it stored.
Chapter 14 – Abandoned Master And Wicked Slaves
Below the deserted Cang Mountain, outside of Yan Jing City, there is a small shabby courtyard.
This was were Yan Jing’s famous doctor, Nalan Zhangze’s concubine born third daughter lived. It was unknown to most that Nalan Hexi lived here.
Cang Mountain was located in a desolate area, where spiritual energy was thin. Birds and Beasts rarely roamed in this area, also spiritual herbs and spiritual trees were unable to grow. Even ordinary fruits and crops were unable to survive in this environment.
At this point the time had passed Mao[1]. The mountain wind blew frequently into the courtyard, bringing waves of gloomy chilliness.
However, Wet Nurse Chen still paced back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally glancing towards the shabby gate.
Miss has been missing for more than a day, why, why is she still not back?
Her gaze turned to the brightly lit main room, she couldn’t help but finally walk over.
The door opened a crack. From inside a strong aroma of wine wafted out, accompanied by loud shouting and laughing.
It had already passed midnight and reached early morning. However, in the main room a group of slave servants were still joyfully gambling and drinking.
Wet Nurse Chen carefully entered, panic written all over her face, “Butler Li, Miss has not come back for a day and a night, I’m really worried about what has happened to her. Can you dispatch people to look for Miss?”
The room of boisterous people abruptly went quiet.
“I had been asking why my luck is so poor today, it turns out there’s this bearer of ill luck come to touch my brows.”
Butler Li, who was sitting at the gambling table, fiercely kicked the stool beside him. An ominous glint flashed across his face, “Your family Miss not coming back doesn’t concern us, maybe she has run away with a man?”
The people in the room burst into raucous laughter, with someone agreeing, “I heard her mother seduced doctor Nalan. She had such a thick face to become a concubine, as expected of such a mother to certainly have such a daughter. Her mother’s like a ****, so her daughter would of course also act like her right?”
You! Don’t you dare talk rubbish!” Wet Nurse Chen’s face turned very red, her turbid eyes protruding in anger, “I forbid you from slandering Madam and Miss....”
“Ha ha ha, she’s nothing more than lowly trash, she didn’t even have the talent to cultivate. That she still dared to claim the title of a Miss, don’t make an exhibition of yourself for a disgrace!”
“That’s right, if it were not for doctor Nalan being so charitable and having such a benevolent heart, how would he allow her to live here, even assigning so many people to serve her? Bah! I don’t know where this illegitimate child came from that’s such useless trash, but the only choice left for her is to die. It’s the wisest decision so as to not bring shame upon the Nalan Family.”
As long as Nalan Hexi, that waste, really was dead, they would be able to return to the Nalan Family. They wouldn’t have to serve in this place that even bird shit wouldn’t fall, where there wasn’t any profit to make, and even their cultivation bases wouldn’t advance.
“Shut up you!” Wet Nurse Chen’s eyes shined scarlet, throwing herself towards several people, “You! This group of evil slaves, obviously Master sent you here to serve Miss. But now you’re even occupying Miss’ Main House, causing Miss and I to live in the firewood room, making us no better than a pair of dogs!
Her entire body gave off the aura of an insane person. In a moment that Butler Li wasn’t paying attention, he unexpectedly had a bunch of his hair pulled and he was grabbed by the neck. Startled by the sudden violence, he uttered a pained howl.
Wet Nurse Chen was thinking that she would take them all down with her. She pulled his hair, scratching and grabbing whatever she could reach, shouting hysterically, “If Miss is dead, I’ll die with all of you!”
“Even if I have to crawl back to Nalan Manor, I will let Master know about your disgraceful behaviour. I don’t believe that Master Nalan doesn’t really care about Miss’ life or death. Even if Miss was really abandoned, you, this group of wicked slaves that turned your backs on your owner, will not have a good end!”
Chapter 15 – Wet Nurse Chen’s Despair
Inside the main room the previous joyous and giggling atmosphere suddenly halted. The present scene causing the servant’s faces to change, particularly that of a servant boy named Xiao Si.
Butler Li’s hair had been grabbed and pulled until it was completely matted. His neck was marred with nail scratches that dripped blood, freezing him with shock before he reacted by fiercely kicking Wet Nurse Chen’s abdomen.
Butler Li is a cultivator of the Qi Refining stage third layer, the foot he used to kicked contained one hundred percent of his strength. There was no way for the weak Wet Nurse Chen to resist, her body flying through the air like a bullet before it fell, heavily knocking against the corner of the table.
Xiao Si, who always followed Butler Li, stepped forward. Ruthlessly stepping on the back of Wet Nurse Chen’s hand, his face revealing a fierce expression.
“We were kind enough to give you face, but clearly this half dead old woman has no sense of shame. Who do you think you are that you actually dared to threaten us?”
“If you are as obedient as a dog, like you were previously, maybe we will let you off. But now that your Miss isn’t here, you actually dared to be so brazen. Don’t blame us then for being so merciless.”
Wet Nurse Chen raised her head as she endured the pain throughout her body, looking at the people surrounding her. Their eyes flickered fiercely with an ominous glint.
Not one of them was surprised that the Miss was missing! It actually seemed as if they were rejoicing at other people’s misfortune, each showing an expression filled with evil intentions.
These people......these people must know the whereabouts of Miss, it seems like they’re the ones who harmed Miss!
Wet nurse Chen’s heart started to sink, and with difficulty she struggled to get up. Facing them heavily in a kowtow, “I beg you, tell me where Miss went. If you want me to compensate with this old life, I’m willing to do that. I’ll work extremely hard for you in the future, so please, tell me where Miss is?”
“Ha ha ha ha......” The servants encircling Wet Nurse Chen burst out in malicious laughter.
Butler Li laughed evilly, suddenly grabbing all the pai gow[1] on the table. He tossed them in front of Wet Nurse Chen, “If you swallow all of these, I’ll tell you where your Miss is.”
Wet Nurse Chen’s complexion paled to a deathly white. There were several dozen tiles before her, she was simply unable to swallow them all.
“You...you group of beastly slags....”
Before she could even finish speaking, someone behind her ruthlessly kicked her, forcing her face to be knocked into the pile of tiles in front of her.
“Butler Li told you to eat it, are you deaf?!”
Xiao Si fiercely stepped on her face with his foot, while someone else held up half of the palm sized tiles, and stuffed them in her mouth. The room filled with the sound of sinister laughter.
“Wu wu wu—-” Wet Nurse Chen violently struggled, desperately shouting, “You.....you group of evil slaves, I will.....wu wu.....will tell Master, you killed Miss.....wu wu.....this will not end well for you all!”
Standing in front of Wet Nurse Chen, enjoying the view, was Butler Li and his confidant, Xiao Si. Glancing at each other, their eyes flashed with an ominous glint.
None of the servants knew Nalan Hexi’s whereabouts. They only knew someone in the Nalan Family thought her unpleasant to the eyes, and that they wanted to teach her a lesson. But these two, only the two of them knew, that the trash that was Nalan Hexi would never come back.
That person had promised that as long as they helped manage this matter well, making Nalan Hexi disappear secretly, that they will be allowed to be transferred back to the Nalan Manor. There they would be provided with generous cultivation resources.
It seemed that this obscure old woman wouldn’t remain quiet.
Butler Li sneered, leaned over, and with a sinister voice whispered, “Since you are so loyal, and want so very much to see your Miss, then I’ll send you to go accompany your Madam and Miss! When you arrive in the underworld, you have to remember my achievements and meritorious behaviour.”
Finished speaking, he slowly raised his head. Suddenly dropping it, he hit the top of Wet Nurse Chen’s head hard!
Wet Nurse Chen’s desperation filled eyes closed, her heart full of hate and hopelessness. She was powerless to do anything.
