Chapter 43 - You Are Kidding, Right??

"You are the one who brought me all the way up here. Now you should be responsible for getting us back on the ground!" Li Ming said desperately.

"Hey! I was trying to save us from those people!" The Silver hair guy said in his defense.

"Who asked for your help? I could have saved myself without you. Now take me down!" Li Ming said irritably.

"If you are that powerful then just go down on your own." The man said mockingly.

"I-If I find out that you are the one who's interfering with my powers, trust me I will not let you go easily this time. I..." Just that moment the branch on which they were standing made a cracking sound.

Li Ming stopped breathing for a few seconds. She was sure that if she fell from such a height she would end up getting double the amount of bones than what she had at the moment in her body and considering the weak body of hers maybe even end up dying.

Her powers were also not working, that mean she couldn't use her healing power.

"The branch is going to break at any second, are you going down or not?" This time Li Ming noticed the coldness in his voice and as she turned her head to look at him she also noticed the mischief in his eyes.

"You.....! What the hell do you want from me?" Li Ming asked as she gritted her teeth in anger.

A smile broke out on his face as he said, "I want you to take me with you at your house and let me stay there until I'm completely healed."

"You know what, just let me drop to the ground. I would rather have broken bones than having you in my mansion again." Li Ming said as she tried to free herself from his hold and for a second she even succeeded.

But before she could fall, again she was engulfed in strong arms and after a few moments, she found herself again on a tree branch. Buy this one was even higher than the previous one.

'Monster!' Li Ming cursed the man who was looking at her with confusion.

That's when Li Ming felt something. His cold as ice hand was touching her bare waist.  Li Ming's breathing quickened as she felt the coldness of his hand on her skin.

"Let me go!" Li Ming said as she tried to slow down her breathing.

But rather than letting her go, the hand tightened around her waist.

"I'll not destroy anything this time." The man said in a hushed voice.

"Yeah, I believe that!" Li Ming said sarcastically.

"You just need to bear with me until I'm completely healed."

"But why my house? You appeared like a rich immortal. Can't you find some other place, maybe a doctor or a hospital?" Li Ming asked suspiciously.

"Because your house is the only place where my enemies could not find me. Once I'm completely healed, I'll leave. In addition I can help you in making those elixirs as I also have medical knowledge." The man replied with patience.

Li Ming looked at the man in his eyes and she could tell that he was not lying.

"How long?" She finally asked after thinking for a while.

"More or less a year." Came the reply.

"What? You are kidding right? Nope, there's no way I'm keeping an active volcano like you in my house." Li Ming quickly shook her head in denial.

"I have been buried in the ground for past six years and have lost too much of my spiritual energy. It'll take me some time to regain it." The man said as he looked amusingly at the girl in his arms.

Her smooth milky skin beneath his skin was making him warm all over.

"I'll not hurt you. You don't have to worry." As he said these words, a mocking expression appeared on her face.

"I'm not worried about me. You will not be able to hurt me inside my own mansion. I'm worried that if I let you stay in my house, maybe after a few days I don't even have a house anymore. Last time you was unconscious but you still destroyed the second most powerful part of my mansion. But this time you are fully conscious, who knows what you will do this time!" Li Ming said as she remembered the destruction of her spell room. Just thinking about it made her shiver and boil in anger.

"I said that I'm not going to destroy anything this time." The man said.

Li Ming looked at the man and said after thinking for a while, "Why should I even help you?"

"Because I will make sure that you will regret not helping me for the rest of your life." The man whispered in her ear.

Li Ming knew that the man was not kidding, he would really make her regret.

"Fine! But remember, the moment you break your promise, I will kick your ass out of my mansion and I don't care if you will end up dead. Now take us down!" Li Ming said with impatience. Her feet were starting to hurt for standing on such a thin branch for so long.

The next second Li Ming found herself back on the ground. But it still took a glare from her to make the man release her.

The moment Li Ming got a few feet away from the man, she felt the presence of her powers again.

She again glared at him and found him smiling.

"It was hard to do that as your powers are quite unique but you still have to practice to reach a certain level." The man replied to her glare.

He found that he really enjoyed her angry look because it made her look more beautiful and cute.

Li Ming didn't reply and took both of them inside the mansion. But she had made a promise to herself, she's going to get her revenge on this man. Sooner or later!
