Beauty covered in blood

A group of people wearing all black with silver mask on their face were riding their horses and galloping forward into the Fuji Mountain. The man in front with golden mask halted his horse and raised his right hand to signal the others to stop. Then he jumped off the horse and started walking towards the side of the river, holding the rein of his horse by left hand.

When others saw this, they also followed the suit. The man with golden mask, squatted down on the side of the river and removed his mask.

The word 'handsome' is also not enough to describe him. He has sharp eyebrows, gentle yet ruthless eyes, pointed nose and thin red lips. By just looking at him, one can tell that he is a man in his 30's.He has muscular build with tanned skin which gave off dangerous aura.

He is Jun Jian, the sect master of Devil Sect. He is also known as Poison Master as he is well reserved in poison. He has gentle temperament but when it comes to killing, he is ruthless to his enemies. As a result, nobody provoke him and fear him as well as worshipped him because till now he didn't killed any innocent. His killing style maybe ruthless but in the heart of common citizens he is just like a hero.

Jun Jian started drinking water by scooping it into his palms. After sometime he detected the smell of blood, mixing with the air.

He became alert and said in a low voice " Prepare your weapons." Then he put his right hand on his sword and slowly started walking in the direction from where the smell of blood was coming from.

The others were puzzled but didn't defy the order from their master . As a result they also took out their wipes, swords and other weapons.

Jun Jian originally thought that it was his enemies following them till here but when he reached that area, he widened his eyes in shock and surprise. He was stood frozen in place by the sight in front of him.

The others, who was following him were curious as to why their master stopped therefore, they also looked in the direction where he was looking but when they turned their head at that direction they were equally stunned and froze on the spot in complete disbelief.

They all saw, a 8-9 year old girl lying there with her eyes closed ad pale face. She has willow eyebrows, small pointed nose and small pouted red lips. Her eyelashes were fluttering like a butterfly with the gentle swept of breeze. She was lying their peacefully as a fairy resting in this mortal world but what shocked them all was not her unparalleled beauty but the fact that she was lying in a pool of blood with cuts and blue & black bruises all over her body.

She was twitching and trembling, telling others that how much she is suffering from pain. Her originally white dress was now covered with blood and her face was so pale that it was looking transparent.

All of them were feeling pity as well as angry by seeing this. Pity as at such a young age she suffered all these and angry at those who have such cruel and vicious heart to torture such a young and beautiful girl.

Then they all moved their gaze from the girl to their master as if asking him to save her.

When Jun Jian saw their pleading gaze, he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. They never asked him for anything but now today they are pleading him to save her. He also wanted to save her but he doesn't know if she is going to survive or not.

He sigh softly and walked towards the girl lying in the pool of blood. He squatted down and looked at the girl in front of him. He has to admit that she is a devastating beauty with delicate features but a pity that she became a victim of this cruel world.

He then scooped the girl on his arm and made sure that she is lying comfortably in his arms but he noticed tears rolling down her cheeks. He panicked as he doesn't know what to do.

One can't blame him for this as from childhood till now he didn't came in direct contact with women or even a little girl as he finds them too troublesome.

He then carefully wiped her tears and slowly patted her back as if coaxing a child.

but wait!!!she is actually a child....

after some coaxing, he made sure that she is no longer crying before turning around and walk in front of his horse.

He carefully putted the little girl on top of the horse before jumping on the horse. then he faced his subordinates and said" let's set off." but he smiled bitterly when he saw how his people are looking at him, dumbfounded. He then smiled gently at them.

When others saw how their master panicked, they were dumbfounded.

Their master, who is fearless and doesn't show any panic or fear when in contact with life and death situation now panicked when he saw the little girl crying.

They all were dumbfounded but came back to sense when they saw their master gently smiling at them. They shivered as they all are very familiar with this smile. For outsiders he maybe smiling gently but for them it's like a death warrant. The more their master smiles gently, the more ruthless he'll be.

They all immediately rode there horses and followed after their master as they all disappear in the silence of the forest.

~pain~so painful~

Lin You Yue was feeling pain all over her body.

'is this hell? it must be.' she thought.

She tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. at last she gave up. she can't hear anything around her and can't feel anything except for the piercing pain all over her body.

She was tired and wants to sleep but just at that time she felt warmth around her as she became alert and tried to open her eyes but to her dismay she couldn't therefore, she gave up.

Then she tried to remember about the moments before her death till now also she can't believe that her own sister, lover and mother killed her. She was so emerged in her memories that she failed to notice, that tears started rolling down from her eyes. Suddenly, she was stunned when she felt gentle pats on her back. She was shocked as till now no one except her adopted father patted on her back. She missed this feeling.

Maybe because of the familiar pats or tiredness, she once again sank into darkness.
