Chapter 99 - All Better (1/2)

Bai Lei stays by his Mother's side as the older physician comes in carrying his wooden box of medicine and tools. The physician checks Lady Xue's pulse and looks up with shock. ”Her Grace... she's better. I can no longer detect the poison!” Bai Lei's heart races in joy as he looks back over to his sleeping Mother.

He had no idea Nova was a doctor... ”Take care of my Mother. If anything happens, let me know immediately.” Bai Lei says quickly leaving the room.

Biyu glares at me with hatred as she says ”What you've done is truly foolish! You're lucky you didn't kill her but you've probably made things worse by trying to steal Bai Lei's affection!” I slowly stand up from the table and straighten my white dress.

It's a miracle blood didn't get on it... I stick my finger in my ear and wiggle it around a few times before looking back to Biyu and saying ”Are you always this stupid and annoying or is this something you reserve for me alone?”

Biyu's fists clench in anger as the air around her starts shifting. I arched a dark eyebrow at her with a slight smirk. Was she going to use her powers against me? ”If Bai Lei doesn't have the heart to get rid of you, I will!” Biyu says lifting up her hand.

I quickly lift my foot and kick the bowl full of blood straight at her, covering her from head to toe in foul, black blood. ”AHHHHHHH!!!!” Biyu screams at the top of her lungs as the wind around us becomes unstable. She goes to charge at me but slips in the blood, falling face first.

I take a step back and say ”Oooh, that looks like that hurt. Do you need a hand?” I look down at her with a sly smile causing Biyu to sneer at me. Her white teeth stand out in the dark black blood, making her look like a monster.

Bai Lei walks into the room and freezes to see Biyu on the floor covered in blood with me standing in front of her with my hand out. ”What happened?” He asks walking over with concern. Biyu begins to cry as she points to me and says ”She kicked the bowl of blood all over me!!”

I quickly hide my smirk and replace it with a look of concern as I say ”I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally kicked over the bowl... I was trying to help her up but she seems mad at me...”

Bai Lei frowns at Biyu and says ”What are you getting so upset about? It was clearly a mistake, she was even trying to help you up. Your behavior tonight has been disappointing Biyu, Maybe you should go back to your courtyard and think things over for a while.”
