The Last Queen of Peacelava
CHAPTER 07
The Land of Peacelavia
"So, this is the land of the Peacelavia?" zhang Pei asked in amazement at the beauty of Peacelavia.
"You ask as if you've never seen this country before" replied Ji Nian.
"You're right. I have indeed never seen this country, but I have heard of princess Xin Qian's name before," Zhang Pei smiled back at Ji Nian.
"Ah, stop. Come with me quickly!" exclaim Ji Nian.
They arrived in front of the palace and entered with two soldiers behind them. Everyone was happy with their presence.
"Ji Nian, have you brought the Urong healer?" ask the king of Arlo.
"Please, King. The Urong physician cannot come here, but the servant brought his nephew who also has the ability to draw poison from one's body."
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Your Majesty the King, my name is Zhang Pei."
"Are you sure you can treat my daughter Xin Qian?"
"Hamba is sure, Your Majesty."
"Alright, Zhang Pei. Hurry up and do your job!"
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Zhang Pei looked at Xin Qian's face in awe because of her beauty. Zhang Pei held onto Xin Qian's neck with a bite mark, then cast a spell to draw the poison from Xin Qian's body.
Xin Qian had experienced convulsions, but Zhang Pei assured everyone that it was just the effect of the spell being used.
A moment later Xin Qian came to her senses and king Arlo helped her to wake up. Zhang Pei was surprised to see Xin Qian staring at him with bright purple-colored eyes.
"That eye? Wasn't that the eye of the five-headed snake demon langma mountain guard? But how could those eyes be on Xin Qian's daughter?" Zhang Pei.
"Xin Qian, how are you?" asked Arlo while stroking his daughter's long hair.
"I've been feeling better than ever, Father."
"Thank God. Dayang, tell Grandpa Master immediately if princess Xin Qian has come to her senses!"
"Okay, Your Majesty the King."
"Xin Qian, this is Zhang Pei. He replaced the physician Urong to treat you."
"Thank you, Zhang Pei for helping me."
"No need to thank me, Princess. It's my job to help others."
"Daughter, are you human? How are you doing?" Master Lin Yang came in a hurry.
"I'm fine, Grandpa Master."
"Thank you, healer Urong. You saved Xin Qian's daughter."
"I'm sorry, Uncle. But I'm not a Urong healer."
"If you're not the Urong healer, then who are you?"
"My name is Zhang Pei, nephew of Uncle Urong."
"Then, why didn't the physician Urong come to the palace?"
"Uncle Urong is old, I can't let him go to a place far from his home. Besides, it makes no difference whether Uncle Urong or I treat the Princess."
"You are a good young man."
"The freak is very good at finding excuses" muttered Ji Nian who turned his face away.
"Xin Qian's daughter's condition is still very weak. We should let him rest."
"Daughter, get some rest."

"Hey you!" call Ji Nian in a loud voice.
"You called me?" Zhang Pei turned his head and asked in a low tone.
"Fight with me and show me the sword skills you have!" ji Nian, in his right hand, holds a sword.
"I can't waste my time just serving you. I gotta go right away." Zhang Pei smiled and continued his footsteps.
"I won't let you go until you fight with me!" Ji Nian attacked Zhang Pei with his sword.
Zhang Pei always dodged Ji Nian's attacks without even retaliating.
"Why do you keep avoiding? Can't you fight me? I heard that demons like to drink human blood to purify its power." Ji Nian lured Zhang Pei into counterattacking.
"As long as demons have Masters, then they will be good demons and will not betray. I am the Master of those demons, and they don't like human blood at all." Zhang Pei confirmed his words.
"Silumans will definitely defend demons." Ji Nian smiled cunningly.
Zhang Pei pulled the sword from the hand of one of the Soldiers and the two of them attacked each other. The soldier who was there immediately informed master Lin Yang of that.
In the garden in front of his room, Xin Qian was sitting on a chair and drinking a cup of tea. He smiled at Zhulong jumping after a flying butterfly.
"Zhulong, have you heard of Zhang Pei before?" xin Qian asked stroked the cat's fine fur.
"You mean Zhang Pei who has treated you?"
"really. Do you know him?"
"I've heard his name before. He was a Master from Longyou country. One of my friends is a disciple of Zhang Pei."
"A master from Longyou country? Zhulong, does that mean that Zhang Pei is a demon?"
"I don't know for sure about that."
"If he's a demon, then why is he exactly human? What kind of demon could change his form like that?"
"He may not be a complete demon."
"You mean?"
"He probably has half human blood. Because as far as I know there are no demons that can transform into a human being."
"You're right."
"Xin Qian, are you in love with Zhang Pei?"
"Zhulong, I admit that he is indeed a handsome and gentle man, but I am not in love with him yet. Don't know if later."
"Xin Qian, I'm so hungry. Can you get some food for your friend?" Zhulong raised Xin Qian's hand and placed it on her distended stomach.
"All right, Mr. Zhulong. I'll bring you some food." Xin Qian got up from the chair leaving Zhulong.
"But are you really healthy?" Zhulong stopped Xin Qian's steps.
"I feel very healthy now. You can see for yourself." Xin Qian stopped and faced towards Zhulong.
While walking out of the room, Xin Qian met the Soldier who was with Ji Nian earlier. The soldier said that Ji Nian and Zhang Pei were fighting outside the palace.
Xin Qian walked quickly towards where Ji Nian and Zhang Pei were fighting. Xin Qian asked them to stop the fight, but no one paid him any heed.
Master Lin Yang and the four other masters came and asked Xin Qian to calm down. Master Lin Yang only looked at Ji Nian and Zhang Pei who were still fighting, then he smiled.
"Master Lin, why don't we stop them?" ask master Chen.
"Yes, master Lin. We mustn't let them fight like this" said master Feng.
"Leave it. Let's see who is stronger among them," replied master Lin smiling.
Ji Nian and Zhang Pei still continued to fight without noticing that the masters and princesses of Xin Qian were watching them. Zhang Pei was the winner of the fight.
"ah! The insolent! How could I lose against that freak?" Ji Nian fell down and was upset.
