674 Shining Heart
Bu Sang laughed, he almost choked hearing Sheng Liâs words.
âHahaha, what ever, I donât think Iâll be able to fight you no matter what. Then, what about the Queenâs order, you still owe her a job since you last asked her for a celestial stone, she will definitely collect it. Didnât she ask you to come this time to give you orders?â he asked.
Sheng Li pulled his lips, he chewed the many nuts in his mouth.
âUm, Iâll think about it later. The queen is very crazy, although I donât want to interfere with her, itâs none of my businessâ
âWell, you can say that, if only the late teacher knew what you were doing he would surely have put you in a well and punished you to soak in there all night. Is your brain really a problem huh?â he asked.
Sheng Li casually grabbed the teapot and poured it into his cup.
âThatâs none of my business, right now I just want to make the greatest sword in the world, after this everyone will know who Sheng Li really isâ
........
The sun shone sharply and hit on Bai Yingâs eyelids. He opened it slowly, gathering his recent memories and after that widening his eyes.
.....
âYour Majestyâ
The young man woke up quickly to see where he was now, this was not a place he was familiar with, nor was there the Crown Prince and others, where was he?
He was just about to get off the couch when the door opened from the outside. A young man, dressed in black with a pretty handsome face, was already standing at the door looking at him.
âWow youâre awake, this is goodâ the man was carrying something in his hand. A black bowl with its contents which he put on the table beside the cot.
Bai Ying took a sharp look at the man, obviously, he was the one holding him hostage and without warning, he might knock him unconscious, that person had kidnapped him? But, how is that possible? With the Crown Princeâs and Bei Yauâs abilities, let alone Xiao Hong, unlikely that this man could take him away so easily. The person looked very fine without the slightest wound on his body. Looks like he is not ordinary.
âWho are you?â Bai Ying asked.
Sheng Li smiled. Seeing Bai Yingâs sharp gaze made him even more excited. The young man in front of him was not stupid, he knew he must be in his custody by now.
âHey, young man, pardon me, but I really need you right now, when Iâm done Iâll send you back to your friends.â
Bai Ying frowned, what did he mean by needing it? Heâs not from this era, did this person just catch him by mistake?
âMaster, I think you might be wrong, I may not be what you think, we are from a very faraway place, and even you canât get there, how can you say you need me?â he asked.
âOf course, you have something that Iâve been looking for, right inside your bodyâ
Bai Ying frowned.
âWhat do you mean, inside my body? Whatâs in my body?â
Sheng Li pointed at Bai Yingâs chest.
âYou may never realize, that inside your body, there is a pearl that shines very brightly. Itâs like what the Shaman said, that a young man with a pretty face will come from a faraway place carrying a shard of dragon pearl in his body.â
Dragon pearl? How this man can see what others canât see? Even though the Bloodstone had left his body, a fragment of the dragon pearl remained in his chest. He never know someone could see this. Even Xiao Hong canât.
The man smiled. He lifted the small bowl on the table and blew out the hot smoke. The smell, Bai Ying clearly recognized the smell, that dark liquid was probably some kind of extremely bitter medicine.
âHey, drink this, after this, you wonât feel anything, I guarantee it wonât hurt you more than I needâ
Bai Yingâs eyes widened as he saw the man thrust the bowl in front of him. He was just about to brush it off when the manâs hand poked his blood path so quickly.
âWh-what do you wantâ Bai Ying couldnât move.
The man tapped his blood path making him freeze. The man shoved the drink into Bai Yingâs mouth, forcing him to drink it. Bai Ying couldnât refuse, the medicine was extremely bitter but even he couldnât control himself from swallowing it. What is this, poison? This guy, what was he going to do with him?
Shen Li smiled. In no time Bai Ying had finished the bitter medicine. Slowly and carefully he helped Bai Ying lower his body back down onto the cot.
The man opened Bai Yingâs blood path, allowing him to move again.
âHey, donât worry young man, this is a blood-thinning tonic, it will only work for a few moments until the blood I need is enough. You might get dizzy and nauseous, but that will pass.â
Bai Yingâs eyes were heavy. The drug made him very sleepy. His ears began to buzz, the bed seemed to rock to and fro.
âWhat, do you wantâ it didnât take long for Bai Ying to finally fell into a deep sleep.
The young man grabbed Bai Yingâs wrist, ready to slash it.
âForgive me, young man, but I have to do this, you will forgive me when you wake up and know what you have done to help me become the number one celestial sword smith in the martial world.â
Bai Ying gave up. He was already drunk and could not do anything to fight back. How could he get involved in something like this?
âDonât, donât do thisâ
At his last moment, he could still hear another sound entering the room.
âBrother!â
It is Bu Sang, who held Sheng Liâs hand that was holding the dagger on Bai Yingâs wrist.
âWhat are you doing? Are you out of your mind? You give this kid blood-thinning drugs and want to cut him, heâll bleed to death at this rate!â the man exclaimed.
Sheng Li let go of his brotherâs hand, ignoring him.
âDonât meddle in my business, brother, I will not kill him, he is too dear to be killed, I will only take a little of his blood as neededâ
He was about to cut Bai Yingâs wrist again but again Bu Sang held his hand.
âDonât think crazy, has your wish for a celestial sword blinded you? Also, you canât just blindly believe the words of that crazy Shaman, itâs not certain that what he said is true, you just sacrificed an innocent child for your crazy ambitions!â
This time Sheng Li, who was already in a frenzy, pushed his brotherâs arms and body far away. He doesnât care about anything else other than getting what he wants from the start.
âDo not disturb me!â he cried, Bu Sang pushed far away, his eyes wide open unable to stop his martial brother from slicing the defenceless young manâs wrist.
âNo, Sheng Li!â
Just as he screamed, a strong forcefully slammed into the door behind him, shattering it so far that it almost hit Sheng Li who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
âDamn it!â
Objects around the room were blown away along with the strong wind that appeared along with a shadowy figure that had already darted in and knocked Sheng Liâs body away from the bed.
âGod damn it!â he is Luo Xiang. Who mercilessly attacked Sheng Li and pushed him hard against the wall. Luo Xiangâs inner energy was extremely strong, the sparks of golden energy shone strong.
âWhat are you doing!â
The small knife in Sheng Liâs hand fell from his hand. He gathered strength in his palms and pushed Luo Xiang away from him.
âDam it, why is everyone disturbing me!â Black smoke appeared in Sheng Liâs eyes, he ground his teeth and pushed Luo Xiang backwards with all his might.
Bu Sang who was still on the floor tried to get up and approached Bai Ying, where several people had already preceded him.
âBrother!â he is Cheng Ming, Xiao Hong and Bei Yau. They protected Bai Ying from anyone who wanted to get close.
Chen Ming was anxious, trying to wake Bai Ying who was lying helplessly on the bed.
âLittle brother!â he shouts.
Bai Yingâs glazed eyes opened slightly. Smiling seeing his brotherâs face right in front of him.
âBrotherâ
âThis bratâ
Later, Elder Yi and Shin Ya appeared from the doorway. Soon Elder Yi stepped forward and mediated the battle between the two powerful forces that could destroy the small house.
âYour Highness, please control yourself!â cried Elder Yi.
Luo Xiangâs attack could hurt Sheng Li the sword-forging king, and he couldnât allow it. Elder Yi opened his two palms and released an internal force in the form of a hot wind that pushed the two men away from each other.
Luo Xiangâs eyes widened, how could Elder Yi push him away?
