(63) Hai Liang, the Assassin
1062 Words
Hai Liang thought she already died but to think she transmigrated into the romantic book she loves, it was a dream come true! In her past life, she was an assassin and she loves to fool around with her senior brother. He was the prettiest man she ever saw but under his alluring gentleness is a beast ready to betray anyone. Hai Liang trusted him too much and did everything he asked. Her senior brother went on a mission with her to kill an important military official from a foreign country but they were caught. She thought both of them will die when she learnt that her senior brother sold her out and he now worked as a police.
Her death was full of unjust. She wished she can live another lifetime but when she transmigrated, she let her revenge off and live her life as the female lead. The book she loves was about a cultivating couple who are part of the continent called Eastern Sea. Hai Liang was ecstatic to see the Hai Ancestral Bracelet because it signified her status as a Hai Royal descendant. Moreover, the female lead of the book was surnamed Hai too. That female lead was an innocent beauty but the story never mentioned she crashed into a forest.
Just as she assumed she was the female lead, memories flooded her head. Hai Liang froze and the crickets spoke for her. She is not the female lead! She was the villainess, Hai Liang who is the half sister of the female lead!
"Why a villainess?" she cried in a heartbroken way. Hai Liang tried to think what to do when she heard footsteps. To her surprise, huge beasts emerged with humans in purple clothes riding its back. The one leading them is a handsome man. Her eyes brightened to see him. It was like her knight has come.
"Clan Leader, it was just a girl." one of them told the man leading the group. Hai Liang tilted her head in curiosity. So the man was their clan leader? He looks young. And appetizing, hehe.
"Young girl, where are you from?" Zi Ming Yun jumped down the wolf and headed to Hai Liang's direction. She suddenly jumped on him and embraced his waist tightly. They were all taken aback.
"Wuwu! My phoenix just died and I don't know where to go! Pretty Brother, help me!" she cried pitifully. Since he is the clan leader, he is a reliable man who can help her go back to the Hai Empire. "Im Hai Liang from the Eastern Sea. Where am I? Is it far from Hai Empire? Please help me go back!"
"Little girl, things will be fine." a female elder pulled her off Zi Ming Yun. The other elders coughed awkwardly as if emphasizing she shouldn't be jealous of an underdeveloped girl. "You can stay with us for a while. The Eastern Sea is very far since you are in the Southern Border Continent. Southern Border also have an imperial clan and the closest one is the Ye Empire. We can try reaching out for them to help you return, quickly."
"Huh. This woman doesn't want me close to him?" Hai Liang scornfully thought. She can only nod and follow them to Zi Clan.
Zi Yingjun's concentration broke. He suddenly felt uneasy though he was resting very fine a while ago. His heart felt heavy for a second before settling calmly. Zi Yingjun frowned as to why he reacted like that for no reason. Was it because of his uncle's guest? He recalled in his past life that after the phoenix feathers descended in Zi Clan, he came home the same day since it was Friday. Zi Yingjun then learnt his uncle have a special guest who came from the Eastern Sea.
He doesn't have much impression over the little girl. The only thing off about her is that she had taken advantage of his kindness back then. However, few decades later, he suddenly heard the girl's name being widely known in the Eastern Sea. She was the shameless crown princess of the Hai Empire, Hai Liang. Not only that, her well-known beautiful half sister was killed by her and her half sister's fiance became her husband. Hundred years later, Zi Yingjun yet again heard more news of her. Such as how she terrorized an empire in the Eastern Sea or how she collected pretty men left and right. It was no excuse she is a villain.
"Heh. Hai Liang, we crossed paths again." Zi Yingjun thought with a sly smile. That villainous perverted woman is now an immature little girl. He can play with her as much as he wants now. The grievances he had in the past shall be avenged.
In Zi Ming Yun's study, he was busy taking care of the clan's affair. Yet, a little girl seemingly twelve-years-old kept moving about the wide room. She read books everywhere when a servant entered.
"Clan Leader, Young Master Zi Yingjun and Young Miss Zi Yan Yue arrived." the servant notified. Hai Liang was puzzled to see Zi Ming Yun stunned. She knew he is the calm and silent type of person. Why is he shocked?
"Who are they?" Hai Liang asked the servant once Zi Ming Yun stood up.
"They are the main relatives of clan leader. Young Miss Zi Yan Yue is Clan Leader's niece from his first cousin. Her parents are outside Zi Clan to guard against a horde of demon beasts. As for Young Master Zi Yingjun..." the servant's face turned ugly. Hai Liang waited for the continuation as they walked out of the study. "He is the nephew of Clan Leader, the son of Clan Leader's younger sister. But Miss, he was a demon's spawn. Clan Leader was always disrespected by him. Young Master Zi Yingjun is an ingrate and he is the most arrogant boy in Zi Clan. Please do not mind his rudeness if Miss meets him."
"Oh." Hai Liang half-heartedly replied. She quickly went next to Zi Ming Yun and thought how bad Zi Yingjun can be. He must be the most common cannon fodders who are arrogant because of their background that is enough to fill his ego because he lacks good looks. That sort of bully who kept belittling talented people like her knight Zi Ming Yun.
