Dark Desires for Power

Chapter 33

Arriving in a small altar room, I gasped for air.

"Gosh, maiden please wait up next time. A human isn't as fast as a supernatural and long living creature!"

She looked at me with an excusing expression in her eyes.

"Sorry, it is just so rare to find someone listening to me. You know, normally people run away screaming like I would kill them with simply a look at them with my eyes. I get saddened over this and am so happy at the moment. From where it comes from, I don't know either for certain."

She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the front. I could only see her back now with shiny and beautiful hair. How harsh the time must have been with her that even me believing her made her so happy.

"Xiaojia Li, I have a question. All I can read about the maidens is bad in scrolls. Tell me, how do you think happened that? The reason is that you are a friendly person and I can't see a cause why people bad-mouth you so badly."-"Well, to begin with, we had a bad relationship with villagers. We looked stranged from for them. The children cried seeing us walking past them in the dark. Due to causing great fear, the villagers made up cruelties we didn't commit."

Damn, why so unfriendly towards shy and very dutiful maidens? I didn't understand a single thing anymore. Every minority was discriminated, it didn't matter if pale skin or clothing, people always found flaws in this difference.

"Can I help you? You are deeply thinking about what I said I guess. Wow someone finally tries to understand instead of only going with the opinion if the majority. Phew, the other wouldn't believe in any way, seriously. Let me call them when I brought you home!"

With little hops, she showed me her room and where everything was placed inside the room when she was alive.

"Well, to be honest, this altar room was originally my room when I was counted in under the living. See the small chunk of scrolls over there? Check them out. Some useful qi flow exercises are noted down in them. Take them with you if you want to read into the content. I don't need them anymore anyway. Fuck! They are already coming back from praying! No! Hurry up hide behind my casket."

In a state of panic, I hurried with a fast pace towards the back of the casket and hid behind it. What I made out from the chat between what seemed to be maids and groom caused me to shiver all over my skin with goosebumps.
