-Back to the present-

Jiang Ying Yue asked her friends that were in Liu Weimin's office. "Have you guys completed your tasks?"

"Yes we have. The training of the close combat will be handled by you and we have already picked a suitable location. It's just that I need to follow my dad out of town and at the same time, I will scout more talented orphans." Liu Weimin said.

Han Jianyu said to Jiang Ying Yue, "Both me and Hua'er will go out and build our forces all over the continent as per planned. The talented cultivators will be sent to Weimin to be placed at our secret ground."

Jiang Ying Yue nodded her head in satisfaction. They had planned this long ago right after they got out of the underground palace to build their own forces.

They wanted to build their own forces because Chanying had said that if the West Continent ever found out about Symphonia Valley having a new palace master and disciples, they would be in a great danger. And also, they just wanted to have their own power in this continent a part from the power given to them by their own families.

Using this force, they wanted to earn their own money and even save children from human trafficking. Liu Weimin had heard about this from his father and he wanted to save those children as many as he could.

Most of the children were girls and they would be sold to be prostitutes in a cruel way. They would have to serve more than 10 customers a day, got very little food to eat and even tortured brutally.

They didn't want to be heroes, they just wanted to build their own forces while saving the children.

This was their plan for one year and in one year, they would work really hard in order to make this force a terrifying existence in the East Continent.

They named it, the 'Rose Regime'. They chose the name after the beauty of rose filled with thorns befitting the people in their group.

They were all good looking and each of them had gone through some things their lives making them who they were today.

The guys didn't mind the femininity of the name though. They quite liked it.

Soon, they all went to have dinner together as by the time they finished their meeting, it was already late in the afternoon.

The group had their dinner together and Jiang Ying Yue decided that she wanted to walk around a bit before going back. Her friends didn't follow after her because they were all busy and had to go do their own things.

She walked around and went a nearby lake. Suddenly, she could feel her body feeling uncomfortable. Honestly, she had been feeling uncomfortable since the night fell but she didn't bother about it. She thought that her body might be tired.

Jiang Ying Yue sat on a stone near the lake and she could her body started getting more and more uncomfortable. Her blood felt as if it was boiling and she felt hot.

What was going on?

Jiang Ying Yue's head started spinning. She tried to stay clear headed but it didn't work.

"Master! The dark element in your body is going rampant. Control it!" Rufus's anxious voice was heard in her head.

"Master-" His voice was cut off and she couldn't hear anything anymore.

Jiang Ying Yue's body started sweating.

She recalled what Rufus said and tried to see her Life Bead. Sure enough, it was going rampant right now.

She hurriedly try to control it with all of her might but it was really hard!

She was really in a lot of pain!

"Ugh!" She let out a moan. Suddenly, she felt her hot body being held by someone. Jiang Ying Yue opened her eyes with great difficulty only to see a blurred face in front of her.

She tried to resist and push that person but to no avail.

"Don't move. I won't hurt you." The man in front of her said.

Only then did she see his icy-blue eyes.

Mu Shao Qing hurriedly injected his Spiritual Qi into her body but it could only recover her for a bit.

Jiang Ying Yue felt slightly relieved from the pain thus she said, "Thank you. I have a favor to ask you. Could you please send me back to my carriage so that the coachman can send me home?"

She just lay weakly in his arms. Somehow she could feel that this man wouldn't do anything bad to her. Even she didn't know why.

Mu Shao Qing denied her request. "Home? With your condition like this? No. The Spiritual Qi that I gave you could only last for a bit of time. I need to treat you. Believe me, no one else could help you other than me now. Do you trust me?"

Jiang Ying Yue was about to protest when she felt the same pain coming over again. She bit her lips to not let out a single sound.

Mu Shao Qing was distressed. He wanted to bring her away but he knew that she would get mad at him and he didn't want that. But if he was late, the dark element in her body would go crazy and she would turn into a full devil faster than expected.

How did he know this? Because he saw half of her hair and turned silver and her eyes had already turned half red when she opened them just now.

Nobody could know that she was the Blood Moon curse's female bearer for now. She was still too weak.

"He..lp me.." Jiang Ying Yue said in a small voice with great difficulty.

Mu Shao Qing let out a relieved sigh. Actually, whether she gave permission or not, he was about to bring her away on his own accord anyways. He would suffer the consequences later. Who knew that she would ask for his help now?

With his deep voice, he assured her. "Don't worry. I'll save you."

Then, his silhouette blurred carrying the weak Jiang Ying Yue in his arms.
