Chapter 11: Heavenly Retribution

Ming Zhu and Huang Ling look at First Lord stiff figure as he looks down at Hong Liu and their throats froze, It's not like they think that he would react badly because he doesn't react to anything the sky will fall down and he would still be just as he is, cold and aloof. It just is that his aura demand respect and they mucked up Hong Liu's disguise.

Dong Hai look down and sigh, with her nature she might just have come to meddle in heavens affair again, getting in trouble like that? 'What you did Little Red?' He thought and bent down beside her, picking her up. He looks at Huang Ling.

"What did she do to get herself sick?" He asked.

Huang Ling and Ming Zhu for a second felt like they were in a very bizarre dream, this monk old rock actually has a beautiful woman in his arms. He never took an interest in anybody before, they blink and again then they shook themself out of there trance and Huang Ling answer the First Lord.

"She bound the Fairy essence of green Forest in Xian Yu spirit so he could enter their barriers but it backfired on her,"

Dong Hai gave an inaudible sigh, that nobody notice and turn with her in his arms.

"First Lord.." Huang Ling tries to stop him.

"I thought you have an urgent matter to attend, Second Prince," and with that Dong Hai walked in his palace.

"It's fine, if First Lord is treating her highness, she would be alright in no time. You know his medical skill rival the Medicine King High God Ren," Ming Zhu said.

"Well, you are right, It is just strange he is helping us at all. Do You think he is interested in her?" Huang Ling look intrigued.

"Now that is nonsense, how can you even say that The First Lord Dong Hai is the only one after Bhudhaa of Suvakti to arrive the state of single-mindedness, he is above the seven emotions and six desires," Ming Zhu said.

"Yeah well, I can hope for something exciting now, can't I? Life with Xian Yu grief is boring now if First Lord started to get interested in a certain little red fairy...." His voice trailed off.

"Second Prince, your thoughts leave me astonished every day, If there is nothing else I would take my leave now," Ming Zhu bowed to him and turn away leaving him to his daydreaming.

Dong Hai took Hong Liu to his chambers and laid her down on the bed, sitting beside her, he gazed at he face, sliding away her raven curls from her face with a slight moment of his fingers. His face was inexpressive as he wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a piece of cloth, she frowns at his touch.

"It hurts," She moaned.

Dong Hai just take her pulse, checking her vitals. It was below average but not dangerous.

"What is the point of doing such dangerous things when it could have much easier if you just convince your aunt to give Xian Yu a chance? It seems like you just like creating trouble," He said to her unconscious state.

The creation had started it created the first Green Forest, for every life is connected to nature but when demons and other negative energies started to misuse it, the ancient forest itself used a superior magic spell, only those which are creatures of nature can enter it but when it developed, nobody wanted stay cut off the actual universe, so Bai Hun the first Emperor of Green Forest and Hong Liu's great grand Father created a spell that can make barriers to protect it from outside invasion when needed it, only those who have the magic of Green Forest in them can pass those barriers and sharing that essence to bind it in someone else essence is forbidden and those who did it will suffer Heavenly retribution. Seems like the Queen of East Lands had used the same barrier to keep out anybody who wants to enter from Heavenly Palace and here is Bai Hong Liu again for her aunt doing things that will end up hurting her, 'it would have been better if you had never come here,' He thought.

"It heavens mercy that you are fine," He said and raise his hand to transfer some of his spiritual essences to settle her spirit. The pressing pain in her chest stopped and her spirit heals as she falls into a restful sleep. He covered her with a white blanket and put the red lilies that fall from her hairs on the bedside cabinet's white surface.

He walks to the door of his room and turns back to see the girl's peaceful sleeping form. She was the only thing in red here his whole palace was white there were no colours here except now her, her bright red robes and her bright red lotus birthmark on at the between her eyebrows those raven hairs scattered around the white pillow. The white curtains fall from the poll of his bed and covered her sleeping form from his eyes making him turn and exit his chambers.

'Bai Hong Liu....,' He thought, his lips pulled halfway up in a cold smile.
