Chapter 89 The City Of Warriors Part 25

(Flashback)

The thin dark robe covered her thin body, and Lan Huan lowered her eyes, looking at her bony little wrist, which was bound by a heavy and thick shackle. Her skinny ankle was also chained with a long heavy shackle. There were also long heavy shackles on her thin ankles. As she walked the streets of Magior, the drag of the chains behind her was louder than the whispers of the people within the city's walls.

As she walked slowly behind her owner, she lost control of her balance and fell to the side of the street. The man dragging the iron chain that was walking in front of her quickly turned around and whipped Lan Huan twice.

The boss man said angrily, "Get up!"

The energy flowing in her body was so strong that she could have stand up and kill the boss with one move, but Lan Huan didn't stand up, but chose to lie on the street and let the boss continue to whip her. She closed her eyes and waited for death.

Sitting in a restaurant a few meters away from the main street, Liling was wearing a beautiful light green dress, enjoying the afternoon tea with Bao and Fang. She sat quietly, listening to the conversations of the people in the street. Liling tries hard not to let other people's attention focus on her, but because of Liling's beauty, even if she doesn't say a word, men and women's attention is concentrated on her. The two maids sitting beside her began to pour more tea and offering dessert to Liling. Liling was reaching for a piece of rice cake and found that the injured woman had been lying on the street for a long time, but it seemed that everyone passing by only looked at the injured woman and walked away, unwilling to help her.

Liling said, "Bao and Fang..."

Bao and Fang replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Liling asked, "Who is that person over there?"

Fang looked at the place Liling pointed out, and said, "Your Highness, it turns out that she is a slave left behind by her master."

Liling asked, "In this case, why is no one willing to help her?" She stood up and walked towards Lan Huan.

Bao and Fang quickly caught up with Liling because they knew very well that if anything happened to Liling, they would pay the price with their lives and the lives of the nine generations they loved.

After crossing the road, Liling ordered her maids to help Lan Huan. Bao grabbed Lan Huan's right hand, but she quickly let go of Lan Huan's hand and began to wipe her hand vigorously.

Liling asked, "What's wrong?"

Bao said, "Your Highness, that woman... that woman..."

Liling asked, "What about the woman?"

Bao said, "That woman is an Untouchable being."

Fang quickly backed away from Lan Huan.

Liling frowned, but her voice was still sweet and soft. "You can't touch her? I see you touched her just now. You are fine and have no injure from that touch," she said reaching out to touch Lan Huan's hand, but Bao quickly stopped Liling's hand.

Bao said, "Your Highness, you can't touch her. She is someone you can't afford to mess with. What if something happens to you? How should we answer His Highness the Crown Prince? Please don't touch her."

Liling shook her head slightly, and said, "I believed that an untouchable person is nothing but merely a label of some dark hearted person's ill intention. Who can tell if she is truly untouchable or not?" She looked down at the pitiful young woman. "The truly untouchable people are those who have malicious intent to hurt others."

Bao pointed to Lan Huan's right hand. She said, "Look at her right hand, which has been branded as an untouchable since birth. The last three fingers were cut off at the first joint, leaving no nails."

Liling felt even more sad when she saw that Lan Huan was missing three fingertips in her right hand. For her, the greatest insult is personal humiliation. Although there was some dissatisfaction and anger in her heart, she said timidly in a soft voice, " I don't believe those rumors."

Fang said, "It is said that if you touch an untouchable, you will be cursed."

Jianjun reached out and took Liling's hand. He smiled at her, "Didn't you hear half of what these two maids said to you?"

Liling blushed violently, "My lord, your hand."

Jianjun smiled and said, "You are willing to hold other people's hands, but you don't want to hold mine."

Liling said shyly, "My lord, it's different."

Jianjun asked, "How on earth are you going to bring her back with your weak arms?"

Liling said, "I was going to carry her on my back."

Jianjun smiled and said handsomely, "Do you really want to save this person?"

Liling said, "That's right...doing good deeds will increase merit, so that in the next life..."

Jianjun interrupted Liling and joked, "Then, in the next life, you and I will meet again."

Liling was taken aback by Jianjun's flirting. "Mmm..." She looked away shyly, and the two maids giggled.

Jianjun smiled at Liling, who tried to avoid eye contact. Jianjun bent down in front of Lan Huan and picked up Lan Huan onto his back. He felt Lan Huan's blood dripping from her back and wet his sleeves. The two maids and the people on the street watched in horror as Jianjun left with Lan Huan on his back.

When Lan Huan regained consciousness again, she felt her body was very light, as if floating in the air. She looked up and saw a handsome young man carrying her on his back. She moved her chapped lips slowly, and said in a low voice, "My lord, do you know what I am?"

Jianjun looked at Lan Huan with a smile, "I know…"

Lan Huan felt happy in her heart; this was the first time someone showed her mercy. She said softly, "Thank you, my lord…"

Jianjun said, "You should thank my wife. I may carry you behind my back, but it is my wife who saved you." He looked to his left and found that Lan Huan had already passed out. "One of you go find a doctor."

Fang said, "Yes, Your Highness." She quickly rushed to another street.

Lan Huan woke up from the nightmare. She dreamed of her childhood again. She opened her eyes suddenly and found a strange scene. She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at the clean ceiling of the moving carriage. Because she was labeled untouchable since birth, her bed was always next to the pigsty. She had been sold as a slave for as long as she could remember.

Lan Huan slowly sat up from the floor. She looked up and saw a young couple sitting ten feet away from where she was sitting. She wondered if those two had saved her from the street. She wanted to ask, but she knew that untouchable cannot ask question, they only obey orders. She continued to stare at the young couple without speaking.

Liling smiled warmly and said, "You're awake."

Lan Huan, who had been abused since she was a child, quickly collapsed on the floor and gravel at the feet of Jianjun and Liling. "Please don't punish this slave," she said in a trembling voice. "This slave knows best not to stare at her master."

Liling said softly, "I'm not your master. We found you on the street, and I just brought you back to treat your wounds. You can leave at any time after your injuries are healed."

Lan Huan looked up at Liling; Liling's face was as flawless as the first snowfall. Liling's eyes are as beautiful as the moon and stars at night. Then when Lan Huan's eyes met Liling's eyes, she quickly looked down at the floor again.

Lan Huan pleaded, "I beg Her Highness to spare this servant's life for have look into Her Highness's eyes."

"What should I call you?" Liling asked with a smile. Liling wanted to divert Lan Huan's attention from the current situation to more realistic matters.

Lan Huan, who was still at the foot of Jianjun and Liling, said, "This slave is named Huan."

Liling asked, "Can you really curse at someone just by looking at them?"

Lan Huan said, "If I could really curse everyone who looked at me, I would curse them all to love and cherish me."

Liling smiled and said, " I believe that one day, many people will love and cherish you."

Lan Huan fell into deep thought, she wanted to know the name of the savior. She summoned up all the courage and dared to look up at Liling. "Your Highness, what is the name of the person who carried me here?"

Liling chuckled and said, "Huan, you have to remember that from now on, you must never mention yesterday's incident to anyone."

Lan Huan asked, "Why not?"

Liling said, "You know, you have been labeled as an untouchable. If anyone knows that the Crown Prince is the one who brought you here, it will cause trouble for His Highness and you. Do you understand?"

Lan Huan said, "This slave understands."

Jianjun smiled and said, "Huan, maybe your timing is wrong, so you missed the opportunity to prove your worth. Since my wife likes you, why don't you just be her maid."

Lan Huan looked up and saw Jianjun's bright smile. Seeing Jianjun's bright and warm smile, Lan Huan's heartbeat wildly. The longer Lan Huan watched Jianjun, the faster her heartbeat beating inside her chest. At that moment, every beat of her heart was filled with joy.

Lan Huan crawled to Jianjun's feet and said, "Master, thank you for saving my life."

Jianjun smiled and said, "I told you yesterday, if you want to thank someone, that person should be my beloved." He stretched out his hand and held Liling's right hand. "The person I love insists that you stay with us until you fully recover. I'm just following the orders of the big boss." He stretched out his hand and gently pinched Liling's right cheek.

Lan Huan looked up at Liling and thought: No wonder the Crown Prince chose you as his wife, you are the nicest person of all the worst people I have ever met…
