A faint sobbing sound rang out, Weiruo slowly opened her eyelids which felt as if it was so heavy. Sometimes he blinked his eyes to adjust the light around.
“Mother? Huh ... it turns out I survived,” murmured Weiruo quietly.
“My daughter? You finally realized.” Xuan Riuyi hugged Weiruo tightly and began to cry.
Weiruo looked at the half-open window, sunlight entering through the window, a sign that had changed days.
“I'm fine,” Weiruo said trying to calm the mother who was still crying.
“All right? You're back in a fainting state and a body full of wounds! How can you say that?!”
Weiruo's body was shaken, at which point he realized that his body was so painful due to injuries in some parts of his body.weiruo understood his mother's feelings, but want how else, he said, he was used to fighting until his body was full of wounds.
More precisely, he used to not be afraid to fight to the death.
Suddenly Weiruo remembered about the kidnap victim last night, he then asked for permission to meet with Xuan Guoxin.
...***...
“They father return to home each.”
Xuan Guoxin put down the brush she had in her hand, then looked at Weiruo for a moment.
It was not until a month since the sinking of Weiruo, as well as the emergence of a new nature of the girl. Everything is so different, the distance between the two is now getting bigger.
“So, yes. Then I go first.”
Seeing so unconcerned Weiruo made Xuan Guoxin a little hurt. Weiruo used to do a lot of things just to get his attention, but now talking to him just seems so lazy.
“How are you doing?” xuan Guoxin asked suddenly.
“Good, didn't Dad ask earlier?”
“Daddy forgot. Come back soon and rest.”
Weiruo only nodded before leaving just like that, while Xuan Guoxin looked sad after Weiruo left, the man felt that something was missing from his life.
...***...
It had been a month since the kidnapping tragedy that Weiruo had experienced, ever since the Black Orchid Pavilion was heavily guarded by palace guards.
That made Weiruo uncomfortable because he was used to living alone.
“I have to get used to.”
Weiruo immersed himself in the warm water, it felt very comfortable because the air outside felt so cold.
“Before winter will end.”
“Nona, you want to wear a dress of what color?” ask Yinyi from behind the barrier.
“What's.”
“Good.”
Weiruo immediately ended his soaking session and prepared himself to relax.
Weiruo scanned the courtyard of his residence, the snow had already begun to melt, but the air was still so cold.
He walked to the pavilion gate, there were two guards standing there, they seemed to be talking about something.
“What are you guys talking about?” weiruo asked suddenly.
The two men were clearly surprised to find Weiruo already a few steps away from them, hurriedly greeting them before answering Weiruo's question just now.
“Mr Princess, we are talking about Hunting Contest which will be held in the next 2 weeks.”
“Contest Hunting? What is it?”
The Hunt Contest was the annual event of the Xifeng Empire, held every early spring as a season-changing event. Participants are not restricted from any circles and any level of warriors.
All participants who participated then hunted animals in the Mist Forest, both ordinary animals and spiritual animals.
Participants who have the highest points will get a prize according to the position they get.
“More or less so, some of the participants are warriors, maybe it will be quite difficult for ordinary people to follow the event.”
“Then the Emperor gives an opportunity for the failed participants to exchange their quarry for money, at least their efforts are not in vain,” refute one of the guards.
“So, yes, thanks for the information.” Weiruo left the two just like that.
He went to the small bamboo forest next to his residence, in fact the area of the Weiruo residence was very large, only it was mostly filled with bamboo forests and a garden complete with a fish pond.
Weiruo immediately changed clothes and went to the bamboo forest to practice. The girl spent a lot of time in the bamboo forest to practice, especially after she managed to remodel the inside of the bamboo forest into a suitable place to practice.
“Yes, no one will know.”
In order to avoid suspicion, Weiruo even planted bamboo around so that the place was covered enough.
Because there was still 2 weeks, Weiruo was not in too much of a hurry when training.
A week has passed and Weiruo has developed quite well. Having no weapons, Weiruo had to buy weapons from a weapons craftsman first.
As usual Weiruo left secretly to avoid escort. It was already dark by the time Weiruo went out.
Weiruo did not expect any weapon shops or weapon craftsmen to be open at this time because the night was already so late. However, Weiruo was lucky enough to find a weapon shop that was still open.
The store is fairly small, maybe five people have made the store feel crowded.
“What can I help you with?” ask the old gun shop owner.
“I need a pair of daggers, try light and sharp,” said Weiruo without much ado.
The old man nodded in understanding and showed him some daggers.
“I only have this, do not have a custom made pair.”
Weiruo took one of the daggers and swung it into the air, then he played the dagger while looking at the other dagger.
“I take these two daggers, how much?”
“Your eyes are very good, the price of both is 35 gold coins.”
Weiruo nodded in understanding then took out a small pouch of money, after counting and handing the gold coins to the man, Weiruo immediately left from there.
Suddenly her steps came to a halt, the girl turned around and looked around. It felt like he had just passed someone he knew but knew who. However, that feeling simply disappeared, so Weiruo chose to continue on her journey.
Because hunting would make a person move a lot, Weiruo has also ordered special clothes designed so that he can easily move when hunting later.
The outfit had Weiruo booked a few days earlier with Yinyi as the go-between.
“Nona, her clothes are suitable for you,” praise Yinyi to see weiruo wearing clothes for her to hunt.
“Ya.”
The clothes had already arrived a few days before, but Weiruo was lazy to try them on. Fortunately, the clothes fit well with Weiruo, plus the material is comfortable to use when doing many activities.
“Nona, are you absolutely sure you are joining the Hunting Contest?”
“Ya.”
“I hope Miss is careful, I often hear participants injured due to spiritual animal attacks. Then, your two sisters are following the event, so I want Miss to be careful.”
Weiruo only glimpsed at Yinyi, before leaving just like that. “I'll just have fun, take it easy,” he said before leaving Yinyi.
