Seiren saw her suddenly looking down and felt bad for her. His brother must have hurt her a lot. He wanted to apologise even without anyone promoting him to. That showed Seiren how much his brother might have screwed up. He always goes this... That mindless fool!

He visited her last night after he heard that she was the one who asked to look for a group of people in their direction. She looked pale as a sheet of paper lying in the bed that made even his heart skip a beat. Now she looks fine but is she really fine? He wondered.

" Halberd? No", he broke the silence, "But... He was trusting your man completely yet skeptical at the same time. He acted retarded and bossy... He is not of sound mind!", Seiren showed his contempt towards Shihong generously.

A silence ensued in the room again for some time when Xing thought about why Chenglei might have dragged Seiren there...

" You said he made "incisions" on you? ", she asked suddenly remembering, "Show me! ".

Could it be a message?

" He cut me with a dagger... What's there to see? ", he was embarrassed," Come on! Get out! Have some proprietary... You cannot be in another man's room alone. You are the Empress for crying out loud! It is dangerous for me! Out...! Out...! ", he grabbed her arm to get her up.

" Let go", Xing got her hand away from his grip. It's all his family's soldiers in here anyway. Who'd dare to create rumours about them?

" What's up with me being Empress? It's not because of that reason, right?", Xing smirked, " Little Seiren is worried that the "thief of his heart" Maya might misunderstand , right? Don't worry, she's a girl... She won't finish bathing for another hour! ", Xing felt it amusing to mock him and to see him blushing.

Xing's smug face annoyed Seiren so much, "You... Pervert! The moment you enter a man's room you are sitting on the bed. Where is your propriety? ", he tried to use the "I'm a man and you are a woman Card".

Why is this person always winning against me? Can't I have one little secret for myself?, he thought to himself.

"Darling! We've spent entire nights together in a frigging brothel alone! Where was your propriety then?", she chuckled seeing him getting uneasy. She wasn't fazed by his fake worries!

Weren't you a man back then? Seiren wanted to ask but he always doubted her to be a woman so he let that go.

But then suddenly something struck in Xing's mind and she stood up immediately cringing ,

" Eww! You two didn't do any funny business on this bed last night, right? "

Seeing her uneasy made Seiren shake his head," We did not!", he mumbled.

As if!

"Show me! I'll leave only after seeing those marks... Come on.. Quick... Maya might return anytime soon!", she spoke in a singing tone making Seiren's anger level raise.

"You think your lover wrote a" Love Letter" for you on my body? ", he gritted his teeth. It's not like he felt shy to let her see his body, but he knew she'll mock him for his pale skin that could be closer to a girl's skin than a man's. She always found reasons to call him a girl...this... Annoying Person!

" Yep! ", Xing nodded shamelessly.

Seiren knew she won't leave until she gets what she wants. Having no other way,he untied his robes and she saw his chest having four incisions two a bit longer and two a bit shorter, that were shallow enough not to damage his organs and at the same time deep enough to leave a scar permanently.

" Someone loved you and hated you at the same time...", Xing looked at him with a grin on her face.

"Oh My, Seiren! Such a pity... What nasty scars on such a delicate skin! Chenglie that rogue! How could he hurt such a beautiful skin?", she shook her head, "With such scars, how will you be able to become a bride? No one would marry someone with scars. I feel bad for you... Did you talk to Maya about this?", Xing could not hold her laughter as she spoke and she leaned on the wall to keep herself from falling.

As expected of a heartless hooligan! Seiren shook his head and closed his robes.

"Wait!", Xing who now had a serious expression stopped him...

"Fire.... Your incisions when joined together make the character for 'fire'", she pointed at his chest.

Seiren looked down on his wounds that were almost healed and he joined the scattered lines in his chest together... It does make the character of fire (火). So he did write a letter to her.

Huh! What an annoying couple! Can't he just say "fire" in my ears or something? Must he have to cut that on me..? It hurt like anything!

Then he remembered that how Chenglie told him that he would get back on him for reading that letter he addressed for her previously. Is this the Retaliation? It should be, right?

Whatever! I don't mind scars on my body... My father was filled with scars... As a Zhong man, scars must be a part of my body!

Seiren was pleased for his scars.

While Seiren was getting proud of the scars he didn't earn on a battlefield, Xing wondered what the 'Fire' might mean... Could it be that the Sky navy will be using fire to attack? Is that what Chenglie meant?

And just as she was contemplating, a single knock was heard in the door followed by the door opening suddenly.

A single knock to make it seem like she is asking for permission and opening the door immediately to not let the ones inside compose themselves if they were doing something immoral... How obvious!

Is she trying to know what's happening inside the room by not being too conspicuous? Well, she failed.

Xing smiled hiding behind her hand and looked at Maya now wearing an emerald green hanfu and her dark hair was tied to a simple ponytail. Her complexion looked much better now that she cleaned herself and her skin had a nice sheen to it.

She looked like a bronze statue with her big animated eyes so endearing looking at Seiren and she had an elegance in her even though she tried to conceal it for some reason.

"She definitely is a Noble", Xing told Seiren who was mesmerised by her looks and he gulped as his throat went dry. He had never felt this way with another woman before... But!

"Yes...", he said clearing his throat, "Milord! Are you thinking the same as me? Could she be... "

He always doubted her and that's why he could not let himself fall for her entirely even though his entire being wants her...

"May be...", Xing pursed her lips. That is entirely possible.

If what they speculate is true, Maya should be the reason Chenglie abducted Seiren.

She is the Route map to the Sky Kingdom!
