Chapter (2)

Wang Hua yelled at them, tears glinting in her brown eyes as her heart hammered through her chest in agony. They could feel each other's senses, happiness, sadness, strength, and pain.

She reached her arm out to catch her wolf cub, although the attempt went in vain. The little one had fallen far away, and Wang Hua was squirming in pain.

"Should we? But our spirit animals are too hungry!"

Another mercenary uttered, and they all laughed. It made them cheerful to see one's suffering, which could explain why they had demon spirit animals.

"Stop wasting time! Finish her now!"

"Yes, kill her, and let's leave. The woman wants the head for the certainty of her death!"

What woman? Who? Why would someone tend to kill her? She was even more harmless than a lamb! A flash of needling pain stirred in her numbed brain.

If she was off to death, she was required to notice who was keenly up to kill her.

"At least tell me who's demanding my death!"

She used the chance as she found them idiots who came here to dispatch her for gold. If one hundred percent she survived, she could avenge this.

"Ah, I was tending to have some pleasure. Pity me. It is getting late!"

The one who looked disgusting with stained clothing stated.

The words sent a spiking chill down her spine and numbed her legs.

'What's the rush for killing me? Who is this person?'

"Your mother asked us, and you should be a disgraceful girl that your mother is eagerly after your life! She offered us 20 gold coins and a Jade for your head!"

Their laughter added to the throbbing pain in her head, and the surrounding world swayed aloft as she heard the unreasonable painful words. They were sharp enough to make her heart cut to half, better to say, to tear it apart, to slaughter her soul and sprinkle its pieces in the darkness.

No blade could achieve that longing so promptly.

Her pupils enlarged. She wasn't in this world anymore when four men turned into black mocking demons, and the forest sounded like hell.

No! All this world was a part of hell, an actual one she was feeble to escape from!

The blade sliced the air and drew up, making an arch flash of purple light. Its purpose and destination were all apparent.

She closed her eyes not to see her ending. Her life was about to end at this moment, at the age of eighteen.

The words that man uttered earlier and the determination behind them killed her already.

An unwholesome life was about to end, and she didn't want to fight back.

In her entire life, she was a tool of mockery for others in Yueliang City, the prosperous capital of the Chenshi Empire, the Northern thriving expanded land blessed with abundance and incredible spirit essence.

She had the weakest spirit animal and held no spiritual magic core; the high magicians proclaimed that she had gained no magical root in her spine. She wasn't even an ordinary human, let alone a Saint or becoming immortal. She was a piece of nothing but flesh. Someone who ate and pooped then wasted the air for an extra breath.

She Gave up!

Moreover, it didn't matter how tough she endeavored to cultivate because she had never accumulated the Moon power to safeguard herself and enable Xiaojiao to evolve, let alone to shift her own body and reach high levels or become a Saint wolf Spirit to kill demons and bring balance to the world.

After her father's death, her stepmother kept blaming her, humiliating her, saying it was a congenital flaw that sparked with her ever since she came to this world. And would remain until she died. But why did she crave to take her life? Embarrassment? Shame? A rival that she never was one to her or anyone else? Was it a reasonable justification to kill her stepdaughter?

In Wolf's clan, blessed by the Moon Goddess, she was the only one with this miserable condition. A disdainful being named Wang Hua, a shame for the Wang clan, someone with no sacred aptitude. Even the Goddess of the Moon had forgotten her.

Perhaps, it was better to die here and clean her father's title. This way, her stepmother and the loving half-sister could have had a convenient life. Soon competent suitors would line up for her talented, gorgeous sister, and probably she might end up standing out for a queen position.

As the first daughter of the Wang family, she had done nothing but read books and wandered in the forest to amass herbs to find a solution for her disability.

She was born into an alchemist family. They had been working on enchantments and elixirs; they existed to keep this land secure from devils by making functional elixirs that could make soldiers substantial, and in this part, she was frail and useless.

Three years ago, the world turned dull and gloomy when she lost her father when he was on a mission with the crown prince of the Chenshi Empire.

As the elder daughter of the alchemist, Wang Hua could never take his place, and the title of the royal alchemist went to Wang Ah Lam, her younger sister, given to her perfect magic core.

At the age of sixteen, her younger sister was then the true heir of their father.

To make enchantments and elixirs; And to send them to the crown Prince and the Lords.

However, there was a secret in the middle. Wang Ah Lam, her beautiful blessed sister with vital magic, was not skilled enough to create enchantments and elixirs alone.

Her knowledge of making formulas and knowing herbs and the procedure of mixing them was always lacking.

It was always Wang Hua who constructed and formalized them, and Wang Ah Lam only utilized her perfect magic and bewitched simple spells to make the elixirs usable.

People said that the crown Prince would come after her sister one day because she was a rare gem with a unique blessing, and her elixirs and magic were even better than their father's.

Why not be betrothed to him till she grew up? It could benefit them at any point you behold!
