Lightened soul

The shadow guards and maid servants were terrified when seeing blood soaked Yusheng. Their first thought was of her getting hurt. Zhu Henry hovered like a chicken less head asking where she was hurt again and again.

Then like the morning bells of temple they heard that crisp beautiful laugh. Others would call her a maniac laughing while soaked in blood but for them it was different. They couldn't take their eyes from that thin figure which was laughing with joy.

As her whole body was emitting lightness of a feather and glow of the sun. As if she had cleansed her soul. Her usually cold aura and that alienation from the world was no more. Something had changed they knew it, felt it though unable to point the exact thing.

Xiaoqing knew that her master was at this moment just happy from her relaxed shoulders and glow on the face. Without caring for the blood she very gracefully walked forward and gently ushers Yusheng to take a bath.

Yusheng after laughing enough gently assures everyone that she was fine and no need for them to panic. When she leaves for the bath with her other maids zhu geng asks liu bai if they should inform of this incident to the elders.

Liu bai who had regained his calm "senior zhu, didn't you notice that master has somewhat changed. As if her worries and burdens has lightened.

We just need to trust her when she had said everything is fine. Let's not worry elders and zhu mama" explaining the still dumbstruck zhu geng he takes his leave with his subordinates.

Xiaoqing who was near zhu geng explains little more to calm his heart "senior zhu, it seems master was able to pull the roots of her worries. Her whole body was emitting worry free and lightened posture.

In all these years it's the first time I felt her so relaxed as if her soul has freed itself from that unknown worry and burden. Don't worry we are all here what could possibly happen to master."

Zhu Geng finally felt somewhat assured and calms his heart. Then he rushes to give instructions to the kitchen to prepare nice and healthy dishes.

While Yusheng who was taking bath saw the water changing to dark red from the blood washing off. It would be horrifying for others but for her it was pleasant. The blood reminded her that she was not dreaming or having illusion.

She had indeed succeeded in finishing her nemesis . She with her own hands had reaped their life and bathed in their blood. Closing her eyes she murmurs in silent whisper " my vow has been completed.. just one knot left to untie.."

After 3 times of changing water she was finished taking her bath. Finely dressed she walks outside and orders xiaoqing to have zhu geng to prepare for a feast for them.

At the pavilion, all the shadow guards and her personal maid servants and zhu geng was waiting for her. Though unknown to the reason for feast, they still had prepared as per ordered.
