by North Night (夜北)


  The little girl who kept herself holed up at home, was much more decisive, and capable than many men he knew, how deep was this girl?

  Jun Wu Xie did not kill with her own hands, but her orders had caused a sea of bloodshed in the Imperial City.

  Not just Jun Xian, bothe Jun Qing and Mo Qian Yuan were both shocked by Jun Wu Xie’s control of all that happened.

  Mo Qian Yuan looked at Jun Wu Xie in awe, feeling a deep sense of relief.

  Fortunately for him, he had been allied with Jun Wu Xie. Otherwise, he would have died under her hands sooner or later.

  “You….. wanted me here, not just to hear all this, but to protect me. Am I right?” Mo Qian Yuan suddenly realised.

  Jun Wu Xie just looked at him in silent consent.

  “You knew, after all that happened tonight, he will be resentful. He will not dare to retaliate against the Lin Palace, but will try to get rid of me if I had remained at the Crown Prince Residence seeing that we have shown ourselves to be allied. I am now targeted and you invited me here on the pretext of discussion of future plans to protect me from him! Right?” Mo Qian Yuan persisted.

  The Lin Palace had torn all bridges in their relations with the Imperial Family, and the Emperor had never shown Mo Qian Yuan any favours. Moreover, Mo Qian Yuan had been seeing Jun Wu Xie frequently, he would definitely act to rid himself of the thorn in his side.

  “You are not that dumb after all.” Jun Wu Xie replied dismissively.

  Mo Qian Yuan slumped further in his seat, stunned by the fact that the Emperor would have him killed without consideration and by the astute mind of Jun Wu Xie who saw all this coming before anyone did.

  “Cough….. Wu Xie.” Jun Xian cleared his throat, glancing at Mo Qian Yuan awkwardly.

  His granddaughter was being rather brash to the Crown Prince.

  “It’s alright, she is doing it for my safety. She has become my benefactor, for without her, I would have died an ignoble death.” Mo Qian Yuan said in self mocking jest, when his biological father wanted him dead, and he was saved by an outsider, what a joke.

  Jun Xian sighed. He had heard about things happening within the Imperial Family.

  “It seems this was discussed before?” Jun Qing had observed Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan quietly from the side. He had previously thought that romance was blooming between them since noticing Jun Wu Xie’s frequent trips to the Crown Prince Residence. Looking at them now, it seems he might have been mistaken.

  “Yes it was. But it is happening earlier than we thought.” Jun Wu Xie replied calmly, oblivious to the funny look her uncle had in his eyes.

  Instead, Mo Qian Yuan caught it. His face flushed red and he lowered his head, bashful.

  Jun Qing saw the differing reactions of the two of them but brushed the matter aside for the moment in the face of the important tasks at hand.

  “Wu Xie, when did you start to have these intentions?” Jun Qing did not understand how a little girl who stayed holed up at home, can even dream up such a grand scheme to change the Emperor!

  “A few months ago.” Since she returned to the Lin Palace, she had toyed with the idea. Initially, it was for herself, now, it was for the whole Jun Family.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 132: “Thank You Present (1)”

  Jun Qing and Jun Xian were silently thoughtful, never had it crossed their minds that things would come to this.

  At that time, Jun Wu Xie did not even step out of Lin Palace, how could she even begin to harbour such intentions?

  The father and son kept Jun Wu Xie back with more questions, and only after being overwhelmed by the intricacy of her plans, did they allow her to leave.

  A room was arranged for Mo Qian Yuan in the annex, and he wondered if it was intentional that it was extremely far away from Jun Wu Xie’s room!

  After coming out from Jun Xian’s room, Jun Wu Xie heaved a long breath. The stench from her blood covered clothes was overpowering. The black beast who laid by the door clamoured to its feet when it saw Jun Wu Xie and rubbed itself against her.

  “Meow”

  [My master was so heroic today!]

  “Knock it off, I’m filthy.” Jun Wu Xie wrinkled her nose as she looked down her dress and walked hurriedly towards her room.

  The black beast shimmered, and transformed itself back into a tiny black cat, and hopped onto Jun Wu Xie’s shoulder.

  They arrived back at her courtyard, though the bodies of the assassins had been disposed at the Imperial Palace‘s gates, the blood still covered the ground. The suffocating stench hung heavily over the courtyard and several servants were brushing and washing down the blood with water. But there was too much blood and they will not get it cleaned for awhile.

  The servants bowed in greeting when they saw Jun Wu Xie, “The steward has prepared hot water for your bath. It is ready for use.”

  Jun Wu Xie nodded. Uncle Fu was so thoughtful, the stench from her clothes was driving her crazy.

  The smell swirled around her body, bringing to mind the scene when she was reborn. Those repressed memories, came back to her as the scent of blood permeated her nostrils.

  She went straight to her room, and flung the cat in the hall while she proceeded to the bath. Warm water filled the wooden bath tub, the air steamy from the heat of the water.

  Jun Wu Xie undressed, her snowy white skin exposed to the chill air. Trembling slightly, she hopped quickly into the bathtub, the warm water relaxing her tense body, her pores in jubilation of comfort.

  The warm water wrapped her in comfort and she relaxed as she soaked, her eyes drooping to close in sleep.

  Having fallen into a deep sleep, she awoke only when the water started to lose its warmth.

  The moment she opened her eyes, she froze!

  A beautiful handsome face rested on the edge of the tub, the corners of his mouth just ever so slightly curled, smiling. His violet eyes staring at her.

  “……………” Jun Wu Xie stared at Jun Wu Yao, not knowing when he arrived.

  “I was thinking, this would be the moment, you should be screaming.” Jun Wu Yao rested his chin in his palm and playfully ran his fingers along the rim of the tub before gently rippling the water. The playful twinkle in his eyes pierced through the fog fell upon the face of Jun Wu Xie, seemingly staring at her eyebrows.

  “Why are you here?” Jun Wu Xie asked, furrowing her brows, the flower petals on the water covering her.

  “If not here, where should I be?” Jun Wu Yao questioned in return, laughing.

  “You left earlier.” Jun Wu Xie did not see Jun Wu Yao on the way back, and has gotten used to his long periods of absence.

  Jun Wu Yao smiled, his slender fingers dancing upon the warm water, “The stench of blood was too strong and I had to clean myself up. How could I allow you to see me in that state?”

  Chapter 133: “Thank You Present (2)”

  After which, Jun Wu Yao abruptly stood up as his tall stature bent over and leaned in towards her, his handsome face only a breath away from her.

  “Come, tell me if you can smell it.”

  His actions were so sudden yet so natural when he closed in on their distance. Jun Wu Xie was completely caught off guard, as his masculine scent descended upon her, there was no stench of blood and sweat, only a refreshing masculine scent greeted her.

  “You…go out first.” Jun Wu Xie subconsciously tilted her face away as she felt her cheeks flush, she faintly felt there was something about this scene that was not right.

  “Why? I have already washed myself thoroughly, right?” Jun Wu Yao smiled at her, without the slightest intention to leave as he asked her in his enigmatic voice.

  Jun Wu Xie frowned.

  “Stop worrying, isn’t Grandfather back safe and sound? This expression doesn’t suit you.” Jun Wu Yao raised his hands and reached out as he trailed his wet finger gently between her eyebrows, smoothing out her frown.

  Being gloomy all day doesn’t suit his gir
l.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at him, as her gaze rested on his rosy lips that were slightly apart, she froze for a moment before squeezing out a “thank you”.

  Jun Wu Yao’s hand did not leave her face as he brushed her delicate cheeks softly, his eyes were warm as he looked at her giving her a devilish smile.

  “Thank me?”

  “For saving Grandfather.” Jun Wu Xie replied awkwardly, if it wasn’t for Jun Wu Yao’s timely arrival, she might have lost someone precious to her.

  Although Jun Wu Xie was cold and aloof, she still knew basic courtesy, after all, he had saved her important family member.

  Jun Wu Yao gently wiped the droplets of water over her red luscious lips with his thumb.

  “There is no need to thank me, I’ve said it before, I’m staying on because I want to repay my gratitude, didn’t I?” Jun Wu Yao looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes, revealing another sly smile. Saving Jun Xian was a piece of cake for him, whether Jun Xian lived or died made no difference to him however he knew that it did matter to her and all he wanted was for her to be happy.

  As long as she was happy, he’d do anything.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at him with a hint of disbelief. Using repaying his gratitude as an excuse? She had long threw that excuse out the window.

  “Wu Xie.”

  “Hmm?” Jun Wu Xie felt that something was amiss, however he had saved Jun Xian earlier and she decided that she should be more tolerant towards him.

  “If you really want to thank me, can I change it for something else?” Jun Wu Yao’s deep purple eyes seemed to be ablaze as he looked longingly at her lips.

  “As long as it’s something I have.” Jun Wu Xie replied calmly, if its about making medicine, as long as he asks for it, and it’s within her means, she would definitely refine it for him.

  Jun Wu Yao could not help but let out a chuckle when he saw her answer so seriously as she had on a grim expression. Who would believe that this was the very same girl who had started a huge massacre just hours ago? Looking at her now, she was really like a white piece of paper.

  “Of course you have it.”

  “What is it?” Jun Wu Xie’s expression turned grave as she looked at him in earnest.

  “Well, you said that as long as it’s something you have, you promise to give it to me, right?” Jun Wu Yao was in no hurry to respond to her question.

  “Yes.”

  “Well then, this is a choice you’ve made yourself.” He chortled as a devilish grin spread across his face.

  Suddenly, a feeling rose up in Jun Wu Xie’s heart that something seemed off but before she could think further, Jun Wu Yao had already closed in on her!

  Jun Wu Xie flung her eyes open wide, she felt something warm and tender pressing against her lips!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 134: “Thank You Present (3)”

  “!!!!!!”

  Warmth spread in her mouth, and a rush overcame her as her lips tingled.

  Jun Wu Xie wanted to retreat in protest, but within the confines of the wooden tub, she had no room to back into.

  Before she could resist further, Jun Wu Yao held the back of her neck in a strong hand, and pulled her face closer tenderly.

  “You promised, you can’t back out. And….. remember to breathe through your nose.” Having lightly tasted it, Jun Wu Yao was unable to pull himself away. He was drowning deep within those eyes. He panted lightly as he whispered the reminder, and without waiting for a reply, and dived headlong into another kiss.

  Jun Wu Xie’s mind went blank, Jun Wu Yao’s breath tickled her cheek, all her strength seemed to seep out of her, and she was unable to struggle.

  Jun Wu Yao went deeper, slowly savouring. In his yearning in the sweetness of the moment, Jun Wu Yao lifted her up from the warm water, and pulled her into an embrace within his strong arms.

  The little black cat who sat outside the bath, saw Jun Wu Xie lifted and embraced by the unashamed Jun Wu Yao, and it nearly dropped its jaw in shock.

  It knew its mistress was clueless about relationships between a man and a woman, and this scoundrel was taking advantage of that and stealing the pure innocence of its mistress!!

  [My Master! You have to resist!]

  [Push him away!]

  [What kind of gift in thanks is this scoundrel asking for!? ]

  [That is an outrage to your modesty!]

  [Kill him quick!]

  [Stick him with your needles!]

  [Make him a hedgehog!]

  [Die you lecher!!!!!]

  It was no use. Jun Wu Xie brain’s was not functioning and did not receive the little black cat’s thoughts.

  The little black cat could only weep the futility and at the loss of its mistress’s first kiss of her two lives stolen, by this shameless and despicable lecher!

  The little black cat was about to lose its mind!

  And what made it more sad was…..

  It was not the lecher’s match in battle!

  It could only stare quietly, swallowing back its tears, and mourn for its Mistress’s lost innocence!

  After a long while, Jun Wu Yao reluctantly parted his lips from Jun Wu Xie’s.

  Jun Wu Xie had not recovered and her eyes were glazed.

  Jun Wu Yao smiled and draped a robe around Jun Wu Xie, and carried her out of the bath.

  “You are so tempting to eat, a pity…..” Jun Wu Yao carried Jun Wu Xie over to her soft bed, looking at her cheeks, pink from her bath, her lightly closed eyes, and ran his fingers longingly across her face.

  Too early. Though delicious, but was not time to pick and savour.

  To a connoisseur, he waits till the flowers blossoms, before he picks it in its most beautiful form.

  And Jun Wu Xie was still a bud waiting to blossom, it was not time to pick it.

  Wait. Will still have to wait.

  “Grow up fast.” Jun Wu Yao said in a low voice.

  “You!” Jun Wu Xie snapped awake, she lifted her hand and the robe draped upon her slipped off her shoulder.

  In that moment, the room was silent.

  Jun Wu Yao glanced haltingly, eyebrows raised, and his amusement deepened.

  “Get out!” Jun Wu Xie pulled the robe around her, staring murderously at him.

  Bring me my needles!

  “Sure, I have received my gift of thanks, and sincerely….. It was the best gift I have ever received.” Jun Wu Yao laughed impetuously, his eyes showing joy. We still have a long road ahead, we have time. Isn’t that right?

  His first taste of the flower left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 135: “Spirit Growth”

  The mischievous Jun Wu Yao left laughing, and the little black cat hiding in the corner jumped onto the bed. With a serious expression, for a cat, it sat upon the soft bed, looking at Jun Wu Xie, with her cheeks flushed red.

  “Mistress, we need to talk about life.”

  “Huh?” Jun Wu Xie, with her robe pulled tightly around her, turned to face the little black cat, replied quizzically, eyebrows raised. Her lips were still slightly swollen, and traces of the rush of sensations that overwhelmed her earlier remained leaving a tingling feeling.

  [You grew up in an environment closed from the world. You had never encountered anything outside of medicine. You had never experienced, and hence have no common knowledge of human to human interaction. Although you joined the organization thereafter, you holed yourself up in the lab, and all your assistants were female and you had no interaction with members of the opposite sex. That has lead you to lack common sense in your interactions with the males in general.] The little black cat looked sternly at Jun Wu Xie.

  In the long years she lived in her previous life, she had not interacted with a man alone, and she was defenceless against advances such as this.

  If the lecherous Jun Wu Yao was allowed to have his way, it’s mistress will be swallowed up whole one fine day.

  That must not be allowed to happen!
r />   “So…..?” Jun Wu Xie did not know what the little black cat was driving at.

  [So, just like today, it was pure…..]

  With a whoosh, the soft pillow flew into the little black cat’s face, before it could finish the sentence.

  “Meow!!”

  “Shut it!” Jun Wu Xie turned a bright shade of red, and she did not want to hear anything about what happened earlier.

  [………….]The little black cat was speechless. [Mistress! That expression on your face….. It does not suit you! You need lessons urgently on interpersonal skills between men and women!]

  Jun Wu Xie had refused to let it say anymore, and it can only sulk scratching its claws at the foot of the bed.

  Jun Wu Xie dressed and regained her usual composure. She sat down at the table and cupped her face in her palms, staring at the lotus just beginning to bloom.

  The lotus has begun to flower and its fragrance grew stronger. Jun Wu Xie could feel her spiritual strength growing and developing. The power that she gathered in her palm glowed red and it was getting stronger as well.

  Enveloped within the lingering fragrance, Jun Wu Xie’s calm returned.

  The plan to have the Crown Prince take over the throne was happening earlier than expected and her spiritual power was not strong enough. In all the seven stages, evolving to the next stage was always extremely difficult. Evolving the red aura of the spirit was the least difficult one, and it took an average person three years to evolve them from red to orange while it took the gifted ones about two years.

  To advance to yellow from orange, it required twice the amount of time. Six years…..

  The stronger the spiritual powers grow, the longer the time it requires. And the gap between the average person and the gifted one amplifies the further they advance.

  Those blessed with the gift can reduce the time needed to develop the powers and pursue greater heights impossible to most.

  For the average human and those less inclined, if they stagnate and spend too much time on a particular level, the chances to achieve the higher stages are greatly reduced.
