The woman froze as she heard her words. She looked at the shaking child icily and snorted. ''It's my child. I can do whatever I want with it.''
Kendra slowly, very slowly turned towards her and spoke loudly. ''Then it is even worse. When unrelated people harm you it is quite bad, but if your own blood does it, makes the situation a hundred times worse. Don't you love your child? How could you harm something that you gave birth? No, I think I am wrong. You are just harming yourself. Children are part of our own body. Harming them is harming yourself. You must hate yourself so much that you hate the child as well.''
The woman suddenly felt a strange pressure in her heart and started crying under flabergasted people that came with her. ''You have no idea how hard life can be. I was too young when I got the child... I...''
Kendra stepped back and shook her head. ''I have no compassion for you. You harmed a child that should be loved and taken care of. But looking at your selfishness that doesn't stop there, I guess you wouldn't care if I ask you to give it to me.''
The woman grabbed the boy and almost threw him towards Kendra. ''You can have it. It destroyed my life and beauty. Children are useless. They cry and they are hungry and they want things... like food and clothes. Tsk. I must feed myself I can't do that when this thing is around. That is the reason why we set this man up to take his money. I want new clothes and jewels...''
But as she said it out, the two men tried to run and the woman just dazedly stood there with a completely ashen face. ''I didn't say that. This must be set up, yes. You set me up!''
''Yes. But you said it yourself. I didn't even need to push you to speak truthfully.'' Kendra could see a few guards getting the two runaways while another man came forward and grabbed the woman that started screeching.
''You dare to do this to me. I will find a way to pay you for what you have done. You will pay for this...!'' She screamed as the Guard dragged her away
Kendra held the shaking boy in her hands and calmly looked at the young man. ''Could you please forgive the boy. Sometimes the situation can't be controlled. No matter how strong or wise someone might become...''
Even in her past life, there were many situations she couldn't control, no matter how much she tried.
The young man looked at her with a surprised expression and saw her turning back to her table while holding tightly onto the child. ''Wait. What will you do with a child? You are a cultivator.''
''I will do my best to find this child a good home. Place where no one would dare to harm it and even give it love. I actually wanted to keep him myself. But that would be deceiving the child and myself. I can't take responsibility even over my own life at the moment.'' Kendra suddenly felt a strange pain in her heart and two shiny eyes came to her memory. What was that? A cat? A dog? Did this girl had something like that? But the child is not a cat or dog. I... why do I feel so much pain while looking at him?
She stilled. Why not? She is lonely and she always wanted a child. After what happened to her in a past life she really wanted to save as many children as she could. After all that happened...
They could see various emotions passing her face and she suddenly made a decision. ''No. I can. I can take care of it. I can cultivate and take care of him. Child, do you want to become my little brother?''
The child suddenly shook his head. ''I can't. I am a girl.''
At first, that sentence made everyone laugh except Kendra that suddenly had tears in her eyes, without reason. ''Then be my little sister. Or a daughter. Do you want?''
The girl looked at the warm eyes of the young woman and shook her head. ''It will be too hard on you. I don't want to make too much trouble. And the mother said she will come back. Then she will harm you as well. I don't want you to be hurt.''
With tears in eyes, Kendra patted her head and sniffled. ''Don't worry. I am cultivator. I might be not strong now, but if I cultivate properly I will grow strong. Just stay by my side. I promise I will be good to you. Hm?''
The girl slowly rose her hands and hugged Kendra's waist. ''Then let us be sisters. You are too young to be a mother.''
''As you wish. Come. I will buy you some food and then we will go buy some clothes. Sister is not rich yet, but if I go do tasks, I will be able to provide yours with a comfortable life. I promise.''
The girl nodded and as they sat down on their table, suddenly a strange thing happened. Whole bunch fo dishes appeared on the table making them flabergasted.
''Uh, we didn't order this.'' Kendra looked at the smiling servant that shook his head.
''Our cook said from now on you will get a free meal anytime you want. She said she will come right away.'' The servant turned this head and Kendra saw a big but cute woman walking between tables with a big smile. It was the cook that servant was talking about.
With a big smile, she stopped in front of Kendra, and what she said next, made her astonished...
