" Hmm," Yu Bin hummed slowly, turning around. She was wondering, why Xian Chen would be on earth, and where is he? Is he ok?
She just found out that he is the prince of heaven so if he is then why is he always in the water realm?
"Master?!"
"Yes?"
"Why is Xian Chen staying in the water realm if he is the prince of heaven?" Yu Bin asked, confused and Bao Fang stopped drying her hair.
"Master?" Yu Bin called her, feeling that her master is strange. Turning around she got startled. Her master was crying, silent tears were falling on her cheeks and she was looking like she was in a trance.
"Master! " she called again terrified " why are you crying? Did I say something wrong? I… I am sorry" she added, wiping her tears. "Don't cry please, " she said, hugging her and Bao Fang became a crying mess.
After a while her crying subdued and she got herself out of Yu Bin's arms.
"Master, you know you can always talk with me, aren't you?" Yu Bin said, wiping a tear from the corner of her eyes.
"Hm, thank you," Bao Fang said, turning Yu Bin around and starting drying her hair again.
"Master, will you tell me why you cried?" Yu Bin asked, looking in front of her.
"Xian Chen's parents are dead, that's why he is staying in the water realm," Bao Fang said sadly
"And that's why you were crying? Oh, my master is so sweet and…" Yu Bin said smiling but got interrupted by Bao Fang who startled her.
"I killed them"
"What?" Yu Bin asked, troubled thinking that maybe she didn't understand well.
"I killed them, I killed Xian Chen's parents, I killed them both"
"But why? Why master? Why would you do it?" Yu Bin asked, tormented, her tears starting to fall like a river. She was not able to shout or get angry, mad, or furious. She didn't know what to feel. The one whom she trusted and loved the most was Bao Fang and Xian Chen. But, she killed Xian Chen's parents.
"Let me tie your hair," Bao Fang said and Yu Bin got up.
"It's ok, I can do it " Yu Bin answered, trying to leave but Bao Fang grabbed her hand.
"Yu Bin…"
"Master, let me ask you, Xian Chen knows?" Yu Bin asked without turning around to look at her.
"Yes." Bao Fang said looking down tears streaming on her face.
"And what do you feel when looking at Xian Chen, knowing that you killed his parents with your own hands? " Yu Bin asked in a harsh voice.
"...."
"Come let's go down and eat, " she added, seeing that Bao Fang didn't say anything, and grabbing her hand she dragged her out.
Bao Fang was left without words. She was waiting for these words from Xian Chen all the time but he never complained or got angry with her, but here it was Yu Bin getting angry for him. She was waiting for his rage but found herself face to face with Yu Bin's rage. If she can't even take Yu Bin's rage, how will she take Xian Chen's rage?
Lost in her thoughts, she didn't even know when she got out of her room and stayed at the table.
"Eat…" Yu Bin said in a harsh voice, making Bao Fang get out of her thoughts.
"You should eat, we need to look for Xian Chen today." She added looking at her master who was staying puzzled on her chair.
"Don't look at me like that, just eat. Here…" Yu Bin said taking a spoon with food and putting it in Bao Fang's mouth and stunning her completely.
This Yu Bin was completely new for her. The lovely Yu Bin was completely gone and in front of her was this one. She didn't know how to call her. Angry Yu Bin? Or the Yu Bin who hates her? Thinking about the fact that Yu Bin hates her, tears were ready to fall again.
"Don't cry, eat." Yu Bin said but tears started to fall wetting all her face.
" I think you are not hungry, let's go then. We can't let Xian Chen wait too much." She added, grabbing Bao Fang's hand again and going back to their room they took the things Bao Fang bought in the morning and left.
Getting out of the inn, Yu Bin looked at Bao Fang who was still in a daze, and got furious.
"Get yourself together already, how are you going to look for Xian Chen in this way? " Yu Bin asked harshly and Bao Fang came back to herself. The cry of pity must wait. She needs to concentrate on Xian Chen's rescue.
After walking for a while the path finished and the land in front of them was full of stones. Some were big and some were small. On the side, a river was passing and that made Yu Bin and Bao Fang relieved. The weather was hot, they almost remained without water and they felt the need to wet their bodies too so when they saw the water they just jumped into it.
"Ah, so cold! " Yu Bin screamed happily, forgetting her madness.
After cooling themselves they got out of the water and filled their bottles then left. Walking through all these stones was a real challenge.
They had walked for a while through the stones looking everywhere entering every cave they found but there was no sign of Xian Chen. Without paying attention Bao Fang stayed down on a rock to drink water. She was feeling exhausted and the fact that they couldn't find Xian Chen was making her feel uneasy. She promised that she will take care of Xian Chen, she made a promise to his parents that she will protect him but here he was lost and she couldn't protect him. Time passed but he was nowhere to be seen so she was anxious to the point she didn't know what to do and where to go.
"Master lookout! " Yu Bin shrieked but was too late. The snake staying close to that place bit her neck, making her freeze.
"Master, are you ok? " Yu Bin asked, taking her hand down from her neck and looking at the bite.
Not long after, Bao Fang lost consciousness falling into Yu Bin's arms.
"Master, wake up, master…" she cried out in despair. Taking her pulse she saw that she didn't die but it was very weak so after putting her into her back she continued walking straight ahead with the hope that she could find a village to stay in. She needed to help Bao Fang but she couldn't do it there because lots of snakes were around so it was a chance to be bitten again.
"Master, I will save you I promise" Yu Bin cried slowly.
"Xian Xian, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise. I'm sorry. " Bao Fang muttered and tears were falling on her face.
"Master, are you awake? " Yu Bin asked, but she wasn't able to see if she was awake or not.
