Flower of Evil

chapter 33

...Flower of Evil...

A hope. Just one hope is enough to live. Even in the darkest night, the light of a small star is enough to smile.

Iseul pulled the bow string and killed a peasant. She smiled and looked back to see little kids cheering her. She was much more decent than how she was when she first came there. Her hair was tied into a high pony tail and instead of male robes she used to wear,she wore a beautiful a light blue coloured gown. It was not a gown from expensive silks she used to wear but a cheap cloth yet she was happy and satisfied. Her wounds were almost healed and she was getting healthy day by day.

She ran to collect her victory and raised it up,showing it to the kids.

"Sister Iseul caught a big peasant! Today's dinner is going to be extravagant!", Bingwen screamed in delight and ran towards her. The rest of the kids also ran upto her and jumped around her.

Iseul also jumped with them and acted like a child. "Okay little guys,let's go before your big brother come and scold me"

"Aww,you promised to play with us until Sun set!", A girl whined.

Iseul pouted. "But your big brother is so bad. He scolds me everyday"

"I will scold big brother Ming for you!", Bingwen said bravely.

"Really?", A manly voice came from behind them.

They all looked back and saw the so called big brother they were talking about. Xie Ming. The leader of the small village inside the demon's island.

All the kids hid behind Iseul. "Brother Ming! Don't punish us!"

Xie Ming scoffed. "Who told you to steal my bow and bring her out? Didn't I tell you all she is sick?"

"It was Bingwen's idea!", A boy said and pushed Bingwen.

Bingwen again hid behind Iseul making her chuckle. "It was my idea. Let them go"

Xie Ming scoffed. "Fine. Since she said it's her idea,you all can leave. I'll deal with her"

Bingwen widened his little eyes and jumped infront of Iseul. "No!! Don't punish her! It's Bingwen's idea!"

Xie Ming crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Iseul laughed and ruffled Bingwen's hair. "He won't. Go go. Your parents must be waiting for you all. I'll come with brother Ming. Okay?"

"Brother Ming! Don't bully sister Iseul! I'll tell father!", Bingwen scolded him cutely and ran away immediately when Xie Ming rolled his sleeves as he was gonna spank their butts.

Other kids also escaped immediately.

Xie Ming looked at Iseul who was awkwardly holding his bow. He walked towards her with his hands clasped behind his back.

Iseul looked down awkwardly. She felt his palm on her forehead. He was checking her health but this move made her heart skip a beat.

Xie Ming looked at the peasant in her hand. "Tell me,what should I do with you? Should I tie you up to your bed? Huh?"

Xie Ming clearly didn't mean any double meaning but Iseul's mind was way more dirty. Blood rushed to her cheeks and it was way too obvious because of her snowy coloured cheeks.
