Sneaking Out of the Palace 2

"Argh!"

Qi Xi moaned in pain as she opened her shirt to see that the cloth that was wrapped around it was etched deep into the bloody hole.

It wasn't the first time she was feeling the aftermath of this particular stab wound. So, she wasn't really hurt by that.

She was feeling pain because of the way Qi Lin Yu was acting fuzzy around her. Like she would disappear, if he wasn't looking at her.

A small bitter smile upturned her lips as she remembered that she also once had a brother.

A sweet brother that loved her a lot!

Too bad, he was too frail and innocent for their world.

Back when she was still at the orphanage, the children and their caretakers would insult and bully them.

They would neglect them to such an extent that her three year old brother became weak and developed chronic stomach ulcers and a heart disease.

It lead her into a life of crime: she stole all kinds of things, transported illegal drugs, and became part of the underworld at the age of Fifteen!

Just for money!

Just for her brother to survive!

Just for her parents in heaven to be proud of her! That they wouldn't worry much about the children they left alone in the world!

Alas, life had other plans!

Unfortunately, her brother with the same name as the real Qi Xi's brother...died when he turned four.

Her body became enveloped in a somber aura as water filled her tear ducts.

Twenty five years later, she became indomitable but was all alone in the world.

"Excuse me" a faint voice resonated in her ears as she saw a young man wearing black mask breathing slowly on the floor.

She quickly closed up her robe and ran to him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Can you please help me?" The man gritted his teeth as he groaned in pain.

Qi Xi hurriedly circled him for a while before noticing that he had a cultivation level that was very high.

Even higher than Feng Yu Min's own.

"With what?" She said coldly.

He seemed like someone who was not to be messed with and she also had no idea who he was in the novel.

"I was poisoned and I need to get away from here now" The strange man pleaded till she accepted.

After all, whether she agreed or not, he could always kill her.

Qi Xi pulled him up and noticed that despite his lean figure, he was very tall and heavy.

She painstakingly plopped him on her back and exerted a bit of strength to wrap his legs around her waist.

After that, she began to run.

A group of men in black hurriedly followed after them before they finally lost them.

"Master, punish me"

"We lost..." Blood spurted out of a black clothed man's mouth as he dropped to the ground.

"I don't like killing. Look at what you made me do" A loud laughter chased the ravens in the forest away.
