Qing’Er blinked her large eyes at Liu Rushuang, as astonishment only sank in when she was placed back down on earth.

She hurriedly hugged onto Liu Rushuang’s arm tightly. “Young Miss, you recovered so quickly?” She cried fearfully.

She didn’t believe that man could actually be more useful than the ice bed.

Liu Rushuang winced her elegant brows and poked Qing’Er’s forehead. “What? You want me to suffer a little longer?” She asked with an eerie voice.

Qing’Er suddenly hugged Liu Rushuang and replied with a little sob in her voice. “Wahhh wahhh… Young Miss, why would I ever? Qing’Er hopes that you never have to suffer!”

Liu Rushuang hugged Qing’Er’s body that trembled non-stop. “I was wrong to make you worry,” she said with a smile.

Qing’Er looked at Liu Rushuang with red eyes and pouted in a bad mood. “Young Miss, you’re still able to wear a smile!”

Liu Rushuang smiled squintingly, as she tightly held onto Qing’Er’s hand. “Qing’Er, thank you for worrying about me. I’m really happy,” she said in a lucid voice.

“Y…Young Miss, I treat you like my only relative in the whole world. If I don’t worry about you, then who should I worry about?” 

“Haha…” Liu Rushuang giggled candidly. She held Qing’Er’s hand and walked straight ahead, smiling as she said, “Qing’Er, if I were a man, I’d definitely marry you.”

Qing’Er smiled sweetly and cutely replied, “Young Miss, I’d marry you if you asked.”

Liu Rushuang burst out laughing “Alright! Tonight, I’ll let you serve me!” She cried in joy. 

Qing’Er’s tense heart seemed to naturally relax. “Young Miss, even if you didn’t say tonight, I’d want to lie beside you anyway,” she smiled.

Liu Rushuang smiled warmly in silence.

She entered the Blood Feast training grounds at the age of five and went through all kinds of brutal trials. 

At ten years of age, she was finally sent out on a mission.

On her way back to the headquarters after her first successful mission, she saved Qing’Er who was being chased after and beaten. 

Back then, Qing’Er was only eight years old and she looked all dirty.

However, she had the same unyielding look in her eye.

She couldn’t resist but save Qing’Er.

She survived with Qing’Er, relying on the remunerations she received from one completed mission after another.

Without Qing’Er, her life would be so lonely.

…

Qing’Er looked at Liu Rushuang with an expression that said she was reminiscing, and couldn’t help but think back to her own past.

Her mother was a hard working, nice person. Not a single person in the village spoke ill of her.

However, her father loved to gamble. He lost all their savings from farming.

Her mother couldn’t stand those hopeless days so one day, she finally got into a big argument with her father.

In the heat of the moment, her father killed her mother and run away.

At eight years old, she saw her own mother in a pool of blood and learned just how frightening death was.

With the help of the people in the village, her mother was buried in a simple grave.

Because her father left behind his debt, she didn’t dare stay in the village.

Overnight, she ran away. On the road, she would eat wild animals whenever she was hungry.

Eventually, she reached a town. She hadn’t eaten well for many days and was starving.

She snuck into a restaurant and ate the leftovers that customers were going to wrap up and leave with.

However, a servant boy found out and just as she was about to walk out of the door, he grabbed her frail body.　

Then, several people came out to punch and kick her.

She tried her hardest to fight back and run away just to survive.

Her mother told her that she would always encounter good things if she lived on, and so she believed her mother’s words.

Just then, the Young Miss appeared and saved her.

She really did come across something good!

From then on, she never had to starve again.

Qing’Er stared at Liu Rushuang with eyes full of gratitude and loyalty.

Liu Rushuang smiled back. She’s looked at Qing’Er as her own biologically little sister a long time ago!

…

Once they reached somewhere with people, Liu Rushuang and Qing’Er used their qinggong to fly.

They were just about to reach the Minister’s mansion when Liu Rushuang suddenly squinted coldly. She pulled out a complexion binding pill from her inner pocket and swallowed it.

That place will be destroyed sooner or later!
