Chapter 9 His Promise

When they are talking, meanwhile Ye Yu came there. He saw his master and Mo Lan sitting side by side. Seeing that, he was shocked. Suddenly he came sense with his call.

"Ye Yu. You came."

"Yes, master."

She talked in her mind, "I was once innocent and believed anyone who talks with me beautifully. I didn't know their beautiful way to talk and smile will be the cause of my death. I won't believe anyone in this life. I don't want to regret anything anymore in my life."

"If I promise her then she will believe me right? Then I will promise her that I won't love other women. I will only love her. Because she doesn't know, I can't love other women."

He was thinking diligently.

He came back to the reality of Ye Yu's call.

Ye Yu told him, "master, what happen to her?"

He said to him, "don't talk about her. I will write to my father now."

He writes a letter and sent the letter with a white falcon. The white falcon went to his destiny.

Then he asked Ye Yu, "say, Yu, do I have any fiancée or wife."

Ye Yu replied to him, "why are you asking an obvious thing?"

In a hushed voice, he said to him, "can't you say loudly yes or no."

Ye Yu answered him loudly, "no, you don't have any fiancée or wife. But why are you asking me this kind of question?"

He told him quickly in a low voice, "why are you adding another question? What I ask can't you just the answer to that question? Go arrange some food for me, I am hungry."

He went to arrange the food. When he went out of the room, she said to him, "now I need to go. I came here to practice in this forest for one month. My grandfather is home alone waiting for me and he is sick. I need to hurry to go home."

When she said to part with him. He felt heartache and quickly hugged her. The hug was sudden to her.

She asked him, "what are you doing?"

He replied to her, "I can promise you. I will not love any other woman in my whole life. My love will be for you. So don't say about leaving me. I don't want to be apart from you."

She told him with consent, "ok, ok. I will not leave you alone now. But I have to go to my house. My grandpa is alone at home. He is also a sick person. So I can't leave him alone in the village. So I can't stay with you here."

He talked in his mind, "you think I would believe you what you say now? Listening to you earlier, you are a cold-hearted girl. You can leave me at any time. I won't let you go if you don't promise, you will take me with you. But I am also curious about what makes you so cruel."

He told her, "you said, you wanted to go home. Where's your home?"

She said to him, "There is a village at the end of the forest. The name of the village is South village. My home is there. I and my grandpa live there together."

He thought to himself, "she and her grandfather stay there. I will ask him what happened to her. Why she is like this?"

He hugged her for a long time. She wants to be free from his hug. But she couldn't.

Then she asked him, "why are you still hugging me? Free me quickly. Do you tell force is love?"

He didn't free her. But he asked her, "you really don't like me? I am ugly."

Lan told him, "like you, where did it come from now? I don't know you. I don't even know your name. Where do you live? I saved you from your curse. Then I fainted beside you. I fell asleep in your bed. You are a sick man, so we just share the bed. But suddenly you said you want to marry me. Now you say I don't like you. Can you tell me the 'like' words came from whence? What you are doing is forcing me. Why do you force me to love?"

He said to her, "why didn't you told anything to me for so long?"

Lan replied to him, "you didn't even allow me to tell you what I want. You just wanted to marry me. So you want me to just stay by your side? But you don't want to consider my feeling. You need to know what I like, and what I do not like. If you want to bind me to you and don't respect what I want then I don't need to like you. Because of that, you won't be able to earn my love. You will earn only hate."

He was stunned to hear her. Now he understands why she didn't want to agree with me. So I did a mistake. He realized his mistake and apologized to her, "sorry. I am sorry."

When she heard his apology, she gets agitated.

She asked him, "why are your apologies to me?"

He said to her with a pitiful look, "I didn't consider your feelings and I understand now that I put the ring on your finger by force. But I did this to you because I felt if you leave me I won't able to find you anymore."

When she heard him, she looked at him. She saw his face become pale. Lan wanted to ask something but didn't. They didn't talk for some time. The room was in a silent state.

Suddenly Ye Yu came and said, "master, the food is ready."

Ye Yu saw his master who didn't touch any woman in his whole life. Now he hugged a little girl and muttered, "it seems master likes her. So he didn't want to let her go."

Ye Yu coughed twice. Listening to his cough broke their quietness. The dagger king freed her from the hug and moved a little far away from her.

Ye Yu again told him, "master, the food is ready. And I arranged some clothes for you."

He said to him, "you did a good job."

Then he asked her to eat with him. But she rejected him and said, "I am not hungry."

But the sound of growling came out of her tummy. Listening to her tummy's sound, he smiled. She was embarrassed. He again asked her to eat. This time she agrees to eat and she started to eat some fruit. They finished their breakfast. Now she told them she wants to go from there.

Suddenly the dagger king approached her and said, "my name is Xuan Yuanshi. You can call me what you like. But remember my name and don't forget me. I will come to find you when you don't want to take me with you."

She hastily went out of the room and her face was all red. She talked with herself, "what! why do I feel like my whole face is red."

Suddenly Aine talked with her, "you said to me, you don't like him. Now your face is all red."

She was startled and said to Aine, "don't talk suddenly. I was startled."

Aine told her, "where did you get this ring?"

Lan couldn't say anything. So Aine wickedly laughed and said, "he gave to you this ring. I told you, his beauty is really wonderful. You can't find beauty like him anywhere. So don't let him go."

Lan said to her, "I know he is a peerless beauty. But why are you so excited? Now stop talking about this. I need to go to my grandpa's house."

Aine stopped talking and Lan kept walking. After a long walk, she came out of the forest. It was afternoon when Lan came out of the forest. She was happy because now she reached the low-level fifth-rank qi realm. If the village head's son disturbs her, she can beat him now.

Lan talked to herself while walking, "I will go and tell grandpa we won't stay in this village anymore. We will go to another place and I will go to an academy to learn martial arts. Grandpa will be happy that I reached the low-level fifth-rank qi realm."

After a while of walking, she reached the village. She quickly went to her grandpa's house. Suddenly the village head's son came in front of her. Seeing him, Lan gets angry.

He told her, "where were you this month?"

Lan said to him, "why do you ask?"

He replied to her, "you are this Li sheng's woman. Why can't I ask you? If you flirt with another man I will lock you in a room ."

Lan asked him, "who is Li Sheng?"

He answered her, "I am Li sheng."

Lan said to him, "I don't even know your name and you said I am your woman. Don't daydream. In this life, you can't marry me. I don't like you. If I hear this kind of word from your mouth, I will beat you to death. I don't want to see your face. Go away."

Saying this, she started to walk towards her house.

Meanwhile, Li sheng talked with himself, "You will be my wife. Tomorrow I will go to your house to propose to you. Then I will see what can you do to me?"
