Author - PipoRiruru

They came close to each other pointing their sword
towards each other ...
Both of them felt a sharp pain in their right hand making them throw their weapons .
AGHHH { Both of them shouted and saw their hand . }
Three texts appeared in front of Xiao Qian {Don't hurt him}
Same three texts appeared in front of Han Shou also .
{ Don't hurt her .}
Both of them looked at each other and removed their
mask..
Han Shou and Xiao Qian were staring at each other ..
Han Shou walked towards her ..
Xiao Qian in her mind.
{ Judging by his walk , he knew that he was definitely the most handsome man of the male species , his dreamy baby blue eyes , his red highlighted hairs, his perfect body .. OMG am I drooling for a man ? for the first time ?? WHAT??}
She shakes her head in disagreement to come out of her dreams ..
Han Shou walking towards her..

Han Shou was also lost in her beauty ..
{ Why does she seems so familiar ? and oh god her hazel eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen except my mother's , her long blue highlighted hairs , her soft skin . Her beauty is not just in her physical features , but also in the way she carries herself with confidence and determination , she is a true force to be reckoned with! .. }

Xiao Qian looking at him..

As he came closer to her , their faces were inches apart .
Xiao Qian also came closer and asked him in a serious
tone . { What kind of witchcraft have you done that I am not able to attack you huh?

I think that I should be the one asking you this . Is it your beauty that stops me orrrr... } He winked at her in a flirtatious tone..
She grabbed him by his armour and went straight to the sky . She thought that he would get scared but instead of getting scared he pushed her away and spread his wings too ..

Look both of us can fly , we will definitely be a couple like swans , you know a monogamous pair bond? Love is in the clouds .. haha { He said and laughed at the end }

Xiao Qian was almost moved and gave a little smile that no one could notice but Han Shou still noticed and pointed at her with a teasing smile saying .. { EH - Ayee - Ayee you smiled now you are mine .. hehe}
Xiao Qian denied it and again went to attack him ..

She came close to attack him but he noticed the mark on her hand . The mark that the strange man from the winged tribe talked about . He dodged her attack in a hurry and then he turned over and flew a bit far away from her .
He pointed towards her hand and said { Ayee you stop right here . Some strange man I met in the mountains told me that in the future if I ever meet a girl who has a strange mark on her right hand , a divine phoenix , I should take care of that girl otherwise he won't leave me alone .. I am saying the truth , believe me , he said you are the only
sister he has ..}
Xiao Qian was shocked then she replied to him .
{ But my brothers have never met you nor they have been in any mountain in the Wei Dynasty }
Their army down there was watching all this drama with their mouth wide open ..
Chu Bai Ji , Chu Zi Rui and Yu Zeyi arrived together with two emperor's decree ..
Chu Bai Ji closed the generals mouth saying that a fly will enter your mouth keep it close .
Zi Rui and Zeyi giggled .
Bai Ji glared at them , he signaled them to stop giggling .
All three of them shouted together at Xiao Qian and Han Shou .

{ XIAO QIAN - shouted Bai Ji and Zi Rui , AH' SHOU - shouted Zeyi . BOTH OF YOU COME DOWN QUICKLY IT IS THE EMPEROR'S DECREE - shouted all of them }
Han Shou and Xiao Qian flew back to the earth and knelt down for the emperor's decree .

Decree of Xia Dynasty ..

The death of princess XIA JINGER { MRS. CHU} i.e my sister { THE EMPEROR } was not planned by the Wei Dynasty , after investigation it was found out that there were some people who were ordered by a man in a white cape , he threatened the assassins that he will kill their family or beloved one .. The war shall be stopped
immediately and all the warriors shall withdraw their
troops , come back to the capital city with the royal prince and his brother to investigate about this person with white cape..

I ACCEPT THE DECREE {said Xiao Qian in a serious
tone }

Decree of Wei Dynasty ..

It was read by eunuch ..

The death of warrior HUA CHENGZI { MS. YU } i.e Duke Hua's only daughter was planned by some betrayers who were forced to kill the two ladies to save their own family but in the end they were also assassinated . So the war is to be stopped immediately and the Royal Prince Yu Han Shou along with Marquis Yu Zeyi his brother are ordered to go to the Xia Dynasty as their envoy to investigate about this matter with the Chu family . The prince and the
marquis may choose a girl there for their marriage ..

I ACCEPT THE DECREE { said both of the brothers in a giggling tone }

All of them will start their journey from the eastern border and they would travel the northern side, southern side , western side too for the complete investigation .. But first they had to report to the emperor ..
They first went to Xiao Qian house to take a rest for at least two days as it was a long journey ..
When they reached their room Bai Ji asked them to have a rest .. Both brother nodded and then Han Shou went inside dragging Zeyi with him . Brother - brother do you still remember that strange man from the winged tribe we met seven months ago ? { Zeyi nodded } He said that take care of the girl you will meet in the future , she will also have a strange mark on her right hand just like you .
Zeyi again nodded..
Han Shou said that this Xiao Qu - Qi - { It's Xiao Qian interrupted Zeyi } Aayaa whatever it is , I saw , she has that mark the man was talking about . {said Han Shou tapping his feet in irritation.}

Shocked Zeyi asks again to confirm ..

Han Shou smiled and said brother this girl , well she's got these eyes that just , and this hair WOW !! and her smile ahhh .. Brother it seems I am in lo- lo { he stammered } .
LOVE!! { Zeyi glared at him }
While they were recovering from that news .
Zeyi saw a beautiful girl . He got so lost in her that he forgot that his brother was giggling knowing that he was in love with Xiao Qian ..
Zeyi in his mind was like - oh my god ! her black hair , mesmerizing chocolate brown eyes that seems to hold a world of secrets , she is the combination of beauty and strength, with her beautiful red dress . And she is wielding a sword , her movements are as graceful as a dancer , yet fierce and powerful like a warrior .....

Zeyi suddenly shook his head and was startled for a
second that for the first time he was so lost in
someone .He wondered that was it love ? or just ....

The girl in that black dress was practicing her sword moves , her sword moves are like a graceful dance , blending strength and precision .

But then she noticed Zeyi staring at her with his goofy eyes , she thought that they were some assassins
because after the death of Mrs. Chu no stranger has ever entered the house , she was startled and then she blew a whistle ( to alert Xiao Qian ) then she threw her sword towards Zeyi and started running towards them .
Han Shou noticed the sword coming towards them with his eyes wide open he suddenly held his brother's hand and then he took a turn , spread his wings to block the sword .
The sword stabbed Han Shou at his wings , he spat
blood . Zeyi suddenly turned his brother behind his back and asked the girl to stop but she didn't . Then Zeyi called for Xiao Qian and tried to defend himself and his brother as the girl he was just admiring was now attacking him ..
She kicked Zeyi and then tried to hit him in his acupoint but again he dodged and then he shouted at her that I don't hit girls please be respectful ..
The girl ignored him and again came to attack him but this time she was stopped by Xiao Qian .
Zhu Yue { name of the girl in that red dress } stop it ! they are our guest , the envoy of Wei Dynasty . { Said Xiao Qian }
Zhu Yue was startled for a second and then again in
disbelief she pointed towards both of them , she
apologized and said that but after the death of aunt there are no strangers in the mansion ..
It's fine don't be so tensed , go and have a rest , we
haven't had a match for so long , let's have one in the
evening .. { said Xiao Qian while patting her back and
giving her smile }
Right just go back you servant . { Said Han Shou }
{ Xiao Qian slaps him } be careful of what you say , she is my sister .

AGHHH? WHAT ? { Both of them were shocked }
{ Han Shou again spats blood and coughs }
Xiao Qian realizes that he was injured , she asks everyone to leave so that she could treat him ..
Before leaving Zeyi winked at Han Shou gave him a teasing smile and then he closed the door.
As she was helping Han Shou to his bed but he was so lost in her beauty , their face were inches apart . He saw her worried face , her hazel eyes he was so lost that he didn't noticed the stool near the table and tripped over it .

Both of them were about to fall but Xiao Qian
grabbed his left wrist , twisted it towards his back , kicked at the table to create some force for her , she and Han Shou took a quick turn around and didn't fall ..
She glared at him and said " do you mind to look at the way instead of looking at me ? "
( Han Shou moves closer to her face )
Yes , I mind . It is your face's fault that keeps distracting me . [ he said ] She glared at him again and then punched him in his stomach .

OUCHHH !! that hurts little birdie . { he said while trying to laugh but he was in pain .}
Then he stared at her , brushed her hair behind her ears making her blush .
She overthrew him to the bed and he shouted in pain and said { hey ! watch what you are doing you little birdie , I am injured because of that ser- [ she glared at him in anger as he was about to say Servant ] that - that - sister of yours .. he pouts in anger }

{ Shut Up you wild bird } she said in a teasing way ..
Wild - what did you just called me ??
Didn't you heard that WILD BIRD ..
She turned him around by force and started applying
medicine on his wound .
Be gentle . { he said }
AGHH ! I can't believe that there is such a hilarious person in this world except my brothers .. { she says in a irritated voice with her eyes rolling }

That is because you haven't seen me , my brother , and
our two servants that are like our brother , we all grew up with each other .[ he says with a teasing smirk on his face while pointing towards himself ..]

She choked , choughs and then laughed loudly .

Aayaa you finally laughed . { he said with a relaxing tone }
Why am I always entangled with so many jokers around me . { she says with a smile and also shaking her head from right to left .}
Her brother Chu Bai Ji was watching everything from the window giggling , covering his mouth so that no one would hear them .
Zeyi saw Bai Ji peeking at Han Shou and Xiao Qian through the window , he came behind Bai Ji .. Tapped on his shoulder . Bai Ji remove his hand in irritation. Zeyi tapped again and this time Bai Ji turned behind in an angry expression with his eyes wide open .. When he saw Zeyi he was startled and jumped. Zeyi drags Bai Ji with him and said that stop peeking at them , come on I will take you to eat something...

Xiao Qian leaves the room .. A dagger shot from a
distance came through the window , inches apart from Han Shou's shoulder ..
