Chapter 18: Unexpected Visit
While Chenglie turned to change his clothes, Xing groaned lightly, clenching her abdomen.
"What is it?", Chenglie asked with concern.
" Don’t know, my lower abdomen and back had been hurting for sometime. Even my legs feel like its cramped. ",she said with creased eyebrows.
"Let’s go see a doctor", Chenglie said to her flustered and walking towards her. Xing shook her head saying no. She then looked at the half naked man with a firm chest before her and the man looked like an immortal with impeccable body and charm.
Call me whatever! But when I see a beauty in front of me, I admire them!
She grabbed him by the arm, " How come a lowly guard like you look so pale like you’ve never seen the sun, and how come the legendary assassin ’Snow Wolf’ is not having even a single scar on his body", she asked surprised.
"I’m always careful because someone had told me not to die", he chuckled and wiped her hair with a towel. Guess he should hide the scars on his back from her.
" That’s right, you are not allowed to die before me. You’ll have to die at least a day after me"
" Not on the same day as you?", he asked surprised.
" No, you’ll have to bury me and you’ll have to grieve at least a day for me before you die because you left me alone for ten years", she said firmly. Chenglie could not make anything out of her odd request. She met him only yesterday after long and she is already talking about her burial? He remembered how she looked worried not knowing the burial rituals for her mother yesterday. Guess her mother’s death had affected her too deep.
"Is that so?", he hugged her and kissed her forehead. She suddenly looked at him intently for a moment and asked, "Do you think we are related?". Chenglie’s face paled, what the hell is his girl saying now?, " What?... Why?", he then composed himself, "We have different mothers and my father is definitely not your father. So I don’t really care otherwise". But he couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled. What would he do if they are closely related? Screw this! It doesn’t matter! There were Emperors who had married their half sisters in the past!
Seeing his troubled expression she shrugged, " Never mind, I just had a feeling that’s all".
