Chapter 37: Demon Horn.

Hong Lou felt like she was floating away, Dong Hai come flying in over the goblet with his eyes widen a little and then tighten around the corner, he stretches his hand creating a force field and he pulled her to him. Hong Liu felt the jerk of being pulled and pain shot through her spine, Hong Liu's blood mixed with the fairy dust from her wings made the Ghost emperor screamed as his burned. Hong Liu eyes open with a snap at the screams at the same time her body collide with the First Lord and he wrapped his arms around holding her. The pain in her back had crossed the limit, her insides twisted and she coughed blood over the Dong Hai's shoulder. Her half weakly open eyes look at white hairs wiping in the wind as Dong Hai teleported them straight to her chambers in the ocean of bliss palace.

Dong Hai didn't understand what she was doing there but it was good she had the bells if he hadn't heard the sound of those bells ringing from the demonic energy in his deep meditation... He looks at her pale face, her fairy essence was completely low. He gently rolled her over the bed, when he realized that she was bleeding his stone eye reflects a moment of anxiety then he breath looking a the demon horn that was stepped exactly at the place where her wings come out, it went inside her the moment she was stopped. He materializes a dagger, tore the part of the robe that covered the wound.

Hong Liu was half aware of what was happening but the excruciating pain stole her ability to talk or for her brain to send signals of the move. But she heard the tear of the cloth, it gave her the little bit sense and she realizes how stupid she was. She caused him trouble again. The remorse in her became as heavy as the pain in her whole body and she felt the need to explain her.

"First Lord..." she croaked.

"Silence!" he scoffed as he touches the horn to get it out.

"Please don't! It hurts," she sobbed.

"I said, not a word!" He commanded in low voice, the horn has venom she can't sleep with it in her system. She grimaces and closes her eyes waiting for him to get it got and then he took it out with a snap.

Her fist curled in the white sheets as a bit down her lips to stop herself from screaming, tears streamed down her eyes, her eye leads drop her hairs were sticking to her face because of the cold sweat. Dong Hai felt her falling into unconsciousness.

"Little Red," He called her, brushing away her hairs from her face.

"Little Red, you can't fall asleep...Little Red," His cold call did nothing. Hong Liu heard his voice like it was a million miles away.

"Don't fall asleep, keep your eyes open," He commanded, his cold voice was harsh a little this time. Is he angry with me? she thought. He must be she did something utterly foolish. She thought weakly.

"First Lord, are you....?" She mumbled, she was not aware of the words that were coming to her mouth was the same word she was talking about. All she was thinking how foolish she has been and would he...would he....forgive her or not.

"I told you to keep your eyes open, not to talk," He manifested a small little blue colour medicine bottle, setting up at the table.

He picked her up, sliding on the place of her pillow. She flinches as her head laid down on his chest, feeling cold she curled up to him. He wipes her face from a handkerchief and tiles her head up grabbing her chin she manages to open her eyes half at his touch. He took the bottle tipped it over her lips, something thick warm and metallic went in her mouth, the moment it slipped down to her throat a warmth spread through her body the venom was detoxified. It took all the pain away and she sighs in relief closing her eyes against him, trembling her last terror away. He waved his hand over to repair and clean her robes and bandage her wounds.

"Now, you can sleep,"

Hong Liu was already luring to asleep, she didn't hear the softness of his voice nor she felt his fingers gently stroking her hairs, all she remember was the cold voice of the First Lord as she falls in oblivion.
