I Am A Passerby In A Xuanhuan World - Chapter 3
Chapter 3 - My servants are M, how to do?
The moment Ming Zuo saw Huang Feiyun, he immediately entered the room and kneeled in front of the bed. He looked grave as he kowtowed towards his mistress.
"Mistress, it is this one's fault for not able to protect mistress. Please say your punishment. This one is willing to receive everything." Ming Zuo spoke, his tone determined. Huang Feiyun sighed as she held her head with a hand.
Great. This guy just finished his punishments and now seeking for more. She doesn't have any inkling that the previous Huang Feiyun liked giving punishments too. So does that mean that her servants really are masochists?
"Enough, Ming Zuo. Get up. You've received your punishment already. If you're gone again, who is going to protect me? You see your sister is already slipping away to Reflection Hall now."
As she said that, she pointed at Ming You who had silently prepared to escape while Ming Zuo was seeking abuse. Caught in the act, Ming You expressionlessly closed the door and continued looking at the air as if nothing was wrong.
"But mistress..."
"No but. We were helpless this time. I thought that Huang Yaoluo had returned to her sect, so I dared to go out alone. But she actually took advantage that grandfather was not at home to attack me. Even if you were there, her cultivation is higher than yours, so we're still going to lose." Huang Feiyun reasoned. Hearing her words, Ming Zuo quickly raised his head to retort.
"But mistress! If I was there you wouldn't be so injured. You'd at least be able to escape and..."
"And what? Let you be the one getting injured to the point of death?"
"Ming Zuo, I was poisoned first before getting beaten by Huang Yaoluo. Even if you were there, I would still die. The only reason I survived was because brother had given me a life-saving pill."
"But there is only one of such pill. If there were two of us who were injured, how do you make sure that both of us can get out of it alive?"
Huang Feiyun continued with her reasoning without giving Ming Zuo any chance to reply. In the end, Ming Zuo could only hung his head in defeat. Mistress knows that he was not much of a debater, so she always talks fast every time she wants to evade giving them punishments.
It was because of this reason that Ming Zuo and Ming You always felt both guilt and grievance for their mistress. Such a kind mistress, but mistreated by her own family. Except her own brother, it was easier to say that she have no other close relatives of her own.
Such a young frail girl had to face all of these vicious attacks alone... Just thinking about it made Ming Zuo felt like beating himself once again for failing to protect his mistress. Maybe later he should ask his twin sister to give him a few more beatings so he would be more cautious next time.
Huang Feiyun didn't know the thought process of her own servant. Even if she knew, she'd only be silent. The best punishments for masochists are not giving them any; that was what she had learnt from countless readings that she had had before.
Seeing that both Ming twins are still reluctant to part with their decisions, Huang Feiyun decided to change the topic. Since she's awake right now, it's better to finish the things she promised to Huang Feiyun before.
"Ming You, prepare a clean set of clothes. I am going to greet grandfather." She had heard from Ming You before that her grandfather had returned to the clan a few days ago while she was waiting for her medicine to cool down. Huang Feiyun felt that it was the right timing, too.
The injury on her body this time was too serious that even a week's worth of caring wasn't able to heal them. With this evidence, maybe she can convince that grandfather of hers to mete out justice for her, though she didn't expect much. After all, she is just a waste in the clan and thus a disgust to that grandfather of hers that was a total snob.
Talking about her current body, although Huang Feiyun has a waste qualification for cultivation, she had a surprisingly resilient body. You can beat her half to death, and two days later she can still move around as if nothing happened, which irked and further escalating the bullying on her.
Thankfully, along with her resilience is also a smart brain. she knows that it was abnormal for someone who cannot cultivate to have strong regenerative ability in her body, so she would always pretended to be ill for a few more days and hide inside her courtyard. Not like anyone would check though. To them, she was just an easy punching bag.
Now that things have escalated to the point of poisoning her to death, Huang Feiyun thinks that it was useless for her to continue staying in the clan anymore. Anyway, staying will just make her suffer. It's better to leave early to prevent anymore annoyance.
As a workaholic and a nerd, her weaknesses includes scheming. No matter how many cliché novels or manga she had read, no matter how many animes and teledramas she'd watched during her free time, she still couldn't catch the essence of scheming evil plans.
If you can't do well on it, might as well avoid it early, she thought in her heart. With that determination in mind, Huang Feiyun willed herself to get out of bed to get dressed.
Ming You and Ming Zuo both tried to stop her, but Huang Feiyun took out her priviledge as a master to shut their mouth. Ming You had to begrudgingly helps her mistress took some simple washing, and dressed her up to meet the patriarch.
The previous Huang Feiyun was a girl with smart brains but simple, almost tomboyish personality. Although she liked pretty jewelleries and dresses, she preferred a simple style that was easy to move in because she'd be on the run every time she stepped out of her courtyard. Therefore, Huang Feiyun was very satisfied when she looked at herself in the mirror.
Every time she read about transmigration novel, it was all about how bad the previous owner of the body had been. If their personality is not bad, it's their brain that was retarded. Or that both are good, but she would be deceived by the one they were in a relationship with.
But so far in her memories, the previous Huang Feiyun had both good personality and a sound mind. Although she was a bit of a social recluse, she was mature and had a calm bearing. She knew early on that her engagement to the Crown Prince was just an arranged marriage and never puts any hope on the Crown Prince. Besides the fact that she cannot cultivate, she was almost a perfect girl in any normal person's eyes.
Too bad her luck was not there. If this was another world with an ancient setting instead of a xianxia world, a young girl like her would probably be more successful in life. Although there would still be scheming mixed into the fray, at least the opponents would still be human like her. But in this kind of cultivation world, fighting against a cultivator is the same as a human fighting against Thanos in real life.
It was just so impossible to win.
Huang Feiyun sighed in her heart, when she saw the Ming twins looking aggrievedly at her through the mirror. Her eyebrows furrowed. She turned her head to look at them, asking with her expressions. What is the problem now? Why do you guys look like an abandoned puppies? Did I do something wrong to you?
In the end, it was the elder twin Ming You who opened her mouth to speak. "Mistress... this servant still thinks, it's better for you to stay on bed to recuperate." She spoke hesitantly. Ming Zuo nodded at his sister's advice, then with a looking forward eyes, said seriously:
"This one also think so too. And, hoping for mistress to give us our due punishment! In the end, it was still our lack of duty that lead to your injury. Please, give us your harshest punishment!" As he said that, both his and Ming You's eyes turned in anticipation towards Huang Feiyun.
Huang Feiyun's lips twitched awkwardly. She really felt like flipping a table right now. Too bad the ones inside her room is made of stone. Her thin arms and legs couldn't even move a stool. In a fit of anger, she took a folding fan that was conveniently put on the dresser, and hit each of their palms once with her whole strength.
When she returned to her senses, she saw that her unconscious actions made the eyes of both servants sparkled like the stars in the sky. Huang Feiyun started to sweat.
Fvck! I messed up! These twins really are M! How do I fix this? Asking for urgent assistance online!
