Chapter 29

Lian Ren gently tapped Shao Ling's cheeks to bring back his consciousness but Shao Ling remained his eyes tightly closed, biting his lower lip while his both arms were clenched. Lian Ren turned to the people in the village to seek for help but what he saw made him speechless. The people in the villager was not panicking at all. Instead, they were looking down at Shao Ling with a straight face. No hostility or malicious gaze were shown but instead, it was as if they were used on seeing people experiencing that symptoms.

Lian Ren shifted his gaze at the village chief in the front. Her face was still shocked for some reason but when she was eventually taken aback, she simply raised her left hand and ordered her subordinates, "

The subordinates responded.

Lian Ren wants to get angry but he can't be too hasty right now because he was still clueless on Shao Ling's condition. The village chief stared at him for a while, slowly stood up from her seat and spoke as she approached Shao Ling's direction.

Does she know something? Lian Ren took this chance to gain information and replied,

The Village Chief curved her lips into a smile and started to speak, She gestured her other subordinates to exit the house so that Lian Ren, Shao Ling and she will be the only person inside. The Village Chief stared down at Shao Ling with a meaningful gaze as she spoke.

Little by little, Lian Ren was starting to under stand what the Village Chief was saying.

The Village Chief shifted her gaze at Lian Ren and smiled,

Lian Ren replied.

The Village Chief nodded in agreement.

I know that too. Lian Ren said inside his mind. The Blue Dawn Tribe was blessed by the God of Beauty and the Goddess of Fertility. Much more is that they can create an offspring of the highest quality. Cultivators in the upper realm will go crazy once they discovered them and they might be a chance that these tribe will be caught by the slave traders and will be auctioned in a slave house with a huge amount of money. Lian Ren can sense a huge amount of Yin energy from all of then the moment he stepped inside the Blue Dawn tribe, but it was different from Shao Ling's energy.

Lian Ren said as soon as he remembered what he woman said.

The Village Chief replied with a mischievous smile.

Lian Ren didn't replied on what the Village Chief said. It was clear that the visitors who was welcomed here had been killed by the people of the Blue Dawn Tribe. And as the woman said that they're used to welcoming visitors, they must've been killing each of them in a very long time. Lian Ren said with a slight frown.

The Village Chief chuckled sweetly and bended her hand down to caress Shao Ling's face,

Lian Ren asked with a frown.

The Village Chief sneered at him, Lian Ren's eyes immediately widened. Shizun has a connection to them? Then....... Then he is also———

The Village Chief spoke.

Lian Ren was astounded,

The Village Chief chuckled,

Lian Ren asked, still clueless.

The Village Chief replied.

Lian Ren replied.

A knock was heard from the door and the Village Chief gave them permission to enter. The subordinates went inside the house, holding the things that the Village Chief ordered them. The sheets was folded into a bed that Shao Ling can lie down to, a clean towel was soaked in the lukewarm water and was placed in Shao Ling's head. After a while Shao Ling's breathing became a little bit even. And his face softened. Lian Ren heaved a breath as he watched Shao Ling who was lying on the sheets, it was as if Shao Ling was entering a deep sleep, unable to wake up.

The pill was passed to the Village Chief and after the arrangements, the subordinate gave respect to the Village Chief then went out of the the house.

The Village Chief answered.

The Village Chief stared at Lian Ren in bewilderment, "I thought you understood me, Young man?"

Lian Ren couldn't believe what the Village Chief said right now. Usually, when a person is in heat, their lust will likely tend to be higher and their sexual drive will increase, like a hungry wolf in heat.

Lian Ren was taken aback when the Village Chief spoke,

Lian Ren wasn't able to say Yes or even No. Instead, he lowered his gaze on Shao Ling's face and remained quiet. The Village Chief sighed and handed him the pill for Shao Ling's heat and Lian Ren accepted it without a word.

The Village Chief glanced at Lian Ren who was just staring at Shao Ling's sleeping face and heaved a heavy breath,

Lian Ren simply said. The Village Chief knew that Lian Ren was not that kind of person and gave him a soft smile. She opened the door and closed it, leaving a glance one last time to Lian Ren's direction as she exited the house. Lian Ren stared at Shao Ling's face for along time, not even saying a single word. His face was showing a hint of grief, anger and confusion, making his expression look complicated and unreadable.

"Frost Demon, the Yun Sect Master had a fever again."

"Just attend to him. Make sure he recovers quickly."

"Don't touch me, Lian Ren! Stop this humiliation! I've had enough!"

"Ha! Are you listening to yourself, Shizun?! You made me like this so take responsibility!"

"Shizun, your stomach seems to be bloating. Did you eat a lot of food that i gave you?"

"None of your business."

"If you like that food, you should've told my servants to bring it with us."

"............."

"Frost Demon, about the report to the Yun Sect Master..."

"What about Shizun?"

"The foods that the chef cooked... He ate it all..."

"Mm... Is that so?"

"Shizun, what's happening? Why do you always feel sick? I heard from my servants that you vomited."

"............."

"So you won't answer me?"

"My well being is non of your business."

"Fine. Suit yourself."

"Frost Demon, The Yun Sect Master is bleeding."

"What bleeding? Did he hurt himself or something?"

"I do not know, Sir. There was no wound in the Yun Sect Master's body, the stain of blood was coming from between his legs."

"Maybe i was too hard to him last night? Go call for a doctor."

"Frost Demon, the Yun Sect Master refuse to call for a doctor. He said that if a doctor arrives, he will bite his tounge and kill himself."

"Tch. Threatening me now, are we? Then let him be. Let him suffer on his own. Give him only porridge for food."

"Yes, Frost Demon."

"Someone! The Yun Sect Master is bleeding again!"

"Call the Frost Demon! It's getting worse!"

"We can't have him dying! Our heads will go flying! Get some pills and warm water! Also get another bed sheet and robes for the Yun Sect Master!"

"What's happening here?"

"F-Frost Demon! F-Forgive us! The Yun Sect Master is bleeding so much! I think he lost too much blood that made him faint...."

"You're prepared to sacrifice all of your lives, do you?"

".......Y-Yes..."

"Shizun! Why are you so stubborn?! Look at yourself. You're barely breathing!"

"Don't.....touch me.... Don't call me... Shizun.... We are no longer Master and Disciple...."

"Tch! Stop resisting and let me check on you——"

"Stay away from me, you bastard! I hate you to death! I hate you to the core! I hope you burn in hell! You bastard! You evil!"

"......Servants. Lock him up in the basement. Starve him and don't give him any water. Call someone to give him a whipping."

".....Yes, Frost Demon....."

Lian Ren stared down on his both hands, he didn't even know that for the first time he was reborn, he was trembling aggressively. His expression was full of hatred. Not for everyone but for himself. He hated himself so much that he wished that he could kill himself and disappear. But he was given a second chance. If only..... If only he can do better....... If only he can atone for the seen he had done.....

Lian Ren covered his face with his both trembling hands, staring at Shao Ling with an expression of grief.
