2 2 - Mixed Blood

Wang Gao Chen's comrade joined in on the attack when he learned that not a single attack could scratch the young man's body. Now the fight became six against one person.

Liu Xing Sheng was indeed a talented fighter, he had learned a lot from his life and adventures over the years. The better his moves, the fewer gaps he will show and the harder it will be for the opponent to injure him.

"Damn it! Can't even scratch his clothes. What's with this guy?!" Annoyance was visible on the face of one of Liu Xing Sheng's opponents. He almost went crazy because during the fight--he was the one who got injured.

The young woman who was watching the battle from afar seemed mesmerized by the movement of her savior sword that was so beautiful. Not long after, the next attack from the man in white sent his six opponents flying in various directions.

Liu Xing Sheng put his feet back on his feet, he stood with an authoritative posture. He also spoke in a calm tone, "Do you still want to continue?"

Three of Liu Xing Sheng's opponents appeared to be vomiting blood and they all had internal injuries. Even so, the four men dressed in black tried to stand up while glaring at him.

"You. You just wait! This. It's not over yet!"

The four men ran away just like that, some of the merchants peeking out from their hiding look winked. Liu Xing Sheng himself exhaled slowly and then turned his head towards the remaining two swordsmen.

He also asked, "What about you guys? Do you still want to continue?"

Wang Gao Chen and co tried to stand up, he seemed to be pressing his chest. "Why don't you kill us? You even let them go,"

"What do you mean? Human life is not so trashy that it should be eliminated from this world. Human life is only one, it's not good to be wasted." Liu Xing Sheng sheathed his sword as he felt the two men before him no longer intend to fight.

Wang Gao Chen gritted his teeth, he snapped. "This is all your fault! You suddenly came and attacked me! I don't even know you!"

"I attacked you because you were at fault. A woman came and asked for your help. Instead of helping, you pushed her. What kind of action was that?"

"You!"

"Relax, Young Master Wang."

Wang Gao Chen's comrade stopped him who was about to lunge again. He tried to catch his breath and tried to calm down. It was just that he was still staring intently at this white-clothed young man.

"What's your name?" in the end Wang Gao Chen asked, he would not forget the person who had annoyed him so much that he was almost at a loss for words.

"Liu Xing Sheng,"

"Liu Xing Sheng. I, Wang Gao Chen will remember this. In the future when we meet again… I will make you regret not killing me."

"..."

Liu Xing Sheng just stood still as he watched the backs of the two men slowly drifting away from him. He took another deep breath and then looked up at the sky.

"Am I wrong if I don't swing a sword to kill humans..? Life is so precious, why are there still some of them who don't want to understand this..."

Liu Xing Sheng shook his head slowly, walking towards the young woman he had saved earlier. Too bad he didn't have the money to make up for the losses suffered by the merchants around him as a result of the fight earlier.

The traders also seemed reluctant to ask him for compensation. They had faces that looked like he wanted to leave immediately, Liu Xing Sheng could understand and started taking the young lady to a better place.

Under the moonlight and outside of the bustling environment of the market, the woman who was tightly holding on to the white robe her savior had given her was sitting on a long bench. Soon the young man who had been helping came with two Baozi and a bundle of leaves.

"I got food and medicine for you from a kind uncle. Eat and let me treat your wounds." Liu Xing Sheng sat beside the woman who until now he didn't know her name, he asked her to lend a hand.

"Young Master, thank you for saving me..." the woman finally spoke although her voice was still hoarse, it was clear that this tone of voice was like someone who had been crying for a long time.

"My name is Liu Xing Sheng. My lady, may I know your name?"

"Wen Qiao Yu, forgive me for being so rude..."

"No problem. It's much better now knowing each other's names," Liu Xing Sheng's voice was soft and as clear as spring water. Even though his face was partially covered in Daoli, anyone would know how handsome he was just by hearing his voice.

"If Miss Wen doesn't mind, may I know why those people are after you?" Liu Xing Sheng asked while grinding the herbs by rubbing them on the palms.

Wen Qiao Yu looked at the Baozi in her hand and then bit slightly. The taste of Baozi is very good and the warmth is just right, it's just that she still feels a stinging at the corner of her lips.

"I..." Wen Qiao Yu started to speak, "I ran away.."

"Mm. Escape?"

"I'm the eldest daughter of the Wen family, but treated like a lowly maid, even worse. And when they no longer wanted me. They then sold me to a brothel. I... I didn't want to. That's why I... I tried to run. ."

"..."

Liu Xing Sheng could hear the sobs of the young woman beside him. He had also finished dressing the wound on Wen Qiao Yu's arm even though he had to tear part of his clothes.

"It seems that Miss Wen's life is very difficult, so what are you going to do next?"

Wen Qiao Yu gasped, she turned her head and looked at the young man beside her. "I'm still thinking about it..." she paused for a moment before continuing, "...Mr. Liu, do you mind if I want to see your face more clearly?"

Liu Xing Sheng coughed softly and corrected his sitting position, "I'm sorry. I've behaved impolitely for wearing a hat even though I'm bandaging Miss Wen's wound. But Miss Wen's request is a bit burdensome."

Wen Qiao Yu frowned. What could this savior possibly be hiding? If it was just a blemish on the face, she was sure that Master Liu Xing Sheng would still be flawless.

"What. Can't you?" Wen Qiao Yu asked back. She would no longer insist if this young man objected so much.

"..."

Liu Xing Sheng couldn't remember how many times someone had asked him to open the Daoli he was using. Maybe ten or eleven this week. The person he saved was always curious about his face.

"Miss Wen finishes the Baozi first. It won't taste good when it's cold," Liu Xing Sheng said softly as he guessed what this woman's reaction would be when she saw her face.

Wen Qiao Yu finished the Baozi as Liu Xing Sheng asked, she originally offered this young man one Baozi, but Liu Xing Sheng said he was full and the food was indeed only for her.

The two of them had been close enough for quite some time even though Wen Qiao Yu still wanted to see the face of his savior. Liu Xing Sheng himself was aware of the nervousness of the young woman beside him, nor did he want to hide anything---including his shortcomings.

"I'm quite happy to have someone to talk to. I wish Miss Wen would still accompany me..." Liu Xing Sheng slowly lowered his Daoli so that his charming face could be seen.

There were no blemishes on the young man's face. Liu Xing Sheng has perfect eyebrows with long eyelashes. His facial skin was smooth and like a creature from inside a painting.

It's just that somehow the look on Wen Qiao Yu's face and eyes turned ugly. The young woman even jumped up in surprise and spontaneously backed away until she even fell from her seat.

Liu Xing Sheng flinched at this woman's reaction, he immediately stood up and reached out to help Wen Qiao Yu.

"Are you okay Miss Wen-"

"Don't touch me!" Wen Qiao Yu shouted with an extremely pale face as if she had just seen a ghost, "You. You are not human!"

Liu Xing Sheng froze, not knowing what to say. He had experienced this many times, but it still hurt. Judging from his face, of course, there is no blemish that he can get. But not so when people started to look him in the eye.

Golden eyes may look beautiful and make them even more charming. But eyes that were so bright in the moonlight and even brighter when in the dark were terrifying. This is also a sign of his identity that is not fully human blood.

"Miss Wen..."

"Get away from me! You devil..!" Wen Qiao Yu looked scared, her breath hitched. She wanted to leave this place immediately, but her legs were very difficult to move.

"Miss Wen, don't be afraid-"

"Go..! Get away from me!"

!!

Liu Xing Sheng gasped when he was stoned by the young woman he had saved. This kind of reaction is natural, anyone would do it if they saw his eyes. Wen Qiao Yun's terrified face had even proven his true place.

Liu Xing Sheng turned around, he picked up his fallen white robe when Wen Qiao Yu showed a reaction of severe surprise. He picked up his Douli again, put it on, and walked away without saying anything.

With each step, Liu Xing Sheng breathed slowly. He already knew it would turn out like this, but still didn't want to hold a grudge. The young woman was afraid of him and it was natural to act that way.

Liu Xing Sheng has the blood of the Hell Wolf, a very feared Demonic Beast, the bearer of nightmares and death. But despite knowing full well with his identity, he still hopes to be accepted by humans. He wanted to prove that was different, not like people had feared. He is not a demon that brings death. He wanted to be a savior.
