The Hideout

Ever since humans learnt cultivation, the weak had been oppressed. Around 80% of the entire population of the world is made up of cultivators, normal humans were treated as weeds, plucked and tossed aside...

Lu Xiu didn't know of this as he spent all his life in the tribe. All of the tribes people treated each person as an equal, whether they be cultivators or not.

Seeing the unconscious young lady being taken away, Lu Xiu had no choice but to ignore his urge to save her and silently follow the bandits. The were currently inside a forest, the bandits quickly took off and headed towards the east. Lu Xiu quietly followed them, using the trees as a perfect cover from him, he quickly caught up to them and was tailing them silently.. An hour passed, the bandits were showing no signs of stopping any time soon.

Crack~

"Who's there!"

The bandits were alarmed by the sound of something breaking. They were at the middle stage of the stone realm, naturally their senses were sharp. Lu Xiu's forehead was covered in sweat...

"Damnit... Come on think of something..."

Lu Xiu knew if he didn't think of something right now, he'll have to face the bandits head on. Lu Xiu had no fighting experience, and on top of that, he was up against four bandits.

"Go and check..."

One of the bandits quickly ran in Lu Xiu's direction. They were initially 30 meters apart but in time for 2 breaths, the bandit was only 10 metres of away from Lu Xiu.

Rustle~

"Huh?"

The bandit quickly stopped at the sound of something moving a few metres away from him. At the moment, the bandit was only 2 metres apart from Lu Xiu. And the only thing stopping him from seeing Lu Xiu was a tree that's stood in front of him.

Pu~

the bandit quickly threw a short sword towards the source of the sound and went to check out what was there as he clearly heard his short sword hitting something...

"Hmmm... Looks like I pocketed dinner tonight. Hahaha."

The short sword pierced the eye of a beast. The eye was the most sensitive part of the body as the brain was located right behind the eye.

"Hey guys look what I found, looks like this little fellow was asking to eat me.."

"Nice Nice.. Ji, you're cooking tonight."

"Wow!! Is that really a 3 eyed rabbit! It's even bigger than I imagined."

"looks like we're having a feast tonight. Hahaha..."

All the bandits were chatting about the 3 eyed rabbit beast. At the same time, Lu Xiu who had been hiding behind the tree the whole time, heaved out a sigh of relief...

"Really did not expect that I would hit a rabbit..."

.....

When the Bandit was initially coming after Lu Xiu, the latter quietly picked a small rock and threw it ahead, coincidentally, the rock struck a rabbit who then tried to run away but was caught by the fast sword thrown by the bandit.

...

Soon, the once bright and colourful sky started to turn dark, little twinkling stars started to fill up the night sky. A shining moon, which looked nothing less than a fine cut piece of jade, stood high in the middle of the sky, but for some reason the sight of it gave one the sense of loneliness. Even though there were many stars there, the moon still felt alone..

At this moment very moment, 2 people were looking at the moon and the only thing that could be seen on their faces was longing. They didn't care about what was happening around them, as long as they had each other they would feel at ease, even if the world was coming to an end.

"I'll save you... I promise.."

Lu Xiu kept looking at the moon as he said those words. Tear drops filled the corner of his eyes which shone like crystals in the night sky.

Lu Xiu had been tailing the bandits the entire day and hadn't eaten anything. He was currently at the foot of a small mountain, sitting on a tree... 4 people were laying beneath him, It was hard to tell whether they were unconcious or dead. The were none other than the 4 bandits that Lu Xiu had been following... The young lady that was captured by the bandits was no where to be seen.

After a moment, Lu Xiu closed his eyes and feel asleep... But somehow, Lu Xiu seemed different than normal at this moment. There was a never before seen determined air about him now...

In a city far, far away, a mighty castle stood at the summit of a mountain. The castle was very tall and looked majestic in the shiny night sky. On a balcony, high on top of the castle, stood a figure gazing deep into the stars. It belonged to a young lady who had an aura of nobility surrounding her.

Her golden blond hair which was fine and shiny as silk was made into a pony tail, flowing down to her slim waist. Amethyst like eyes she had, giving anyone that gazed into them a feeling of being sucked into a vortex, forever being lost into them. Her jade like hands were firmly griping onto the railing of the balcony. In this night sky, the loose white gown she wore made her look like a fairy that descended from the heavens, making her look even more alluring.

With a smile on her face, her red lips would move from time to time, making one think that she was praying for the world.

If only it were so...

Currently, her amethyst eyes held slight killing intent. If one didn't know her well, they would think that she was happily watching the stars and talking to herself...

"Grandma, you lived a troubled life... Thank you for always being there for me.. Now, I'll make sure to destroy the person who made you suffer all this time..."
