Empress Of The Lost Kingdom

"Leave me,"

Bai Yu Yue shouted on top her lungs.

The onlookers of the bandit group rushed forward to capture the soldier who is trying to run away. But none of them remembered about the girl who is on the horse. 

The moment Xue Lian heard Bai Yu Yue's voice, she pulled the whip and rode the horse to the forest path.

"She is escaping," Huo Yan yelled and glanced at his brother who stood there like a statue.

He saw a flabbergasted look on his brother's eyes.

"Brother, she is escaping,"

The leader moved the sword slightly away from Bai Yu Yue's neck. 

"This is the right moment," Bai Yu Yue calculated in her mind and pushed the sword from his hands, without applying any force, the sword slipped from his hands.

The leader deliberately let the sword slip away from his hand as if he is giving the soldier a chance to escape. 

Huo Yan was shocked to see that scene.

What is wrong with his brother? Why is he acting like this?

Bai Yu Yue tried to move forward, but a sudden force pulled her back, followed by a sudden pain emerging from her bosom. 

"No Way," Her eyes enlarged in horror. 

She frantically looked down at her body.

A big palm was groping her breast. 

An electric shock emerged from the tip of her toes and sent chills all over her body.

With all her force, she peeled the palm away from her and moved forward.

"Not that quick"

An arm grabbed her waist and pulled her back in place.

On a survival instinct, Bai Yu Yue pulled out the hairpin which tightly held her thick hair into a top knot. 

Her long curly hair cascaded down like a waterfall. 

In the last four years of sparring with countless men, it was the first time that someone played a shameless trick to control her.

He knows, He knows that she is a woman.

Bai Yu Yue turned with a furious face and tried to stab the arm which dared touch her body. 

But his reflexes were quicker than she expected, he grabbed her hand and stopped her.

She glared at him with burning coal like eyes, her high nose flaring in anger. 

His lips curled into an evil smirk, 

SLAP!!!!!!!

Her palm fell on the face of the man.

The slap was so strong that his mask slipped down to the ground, revealing a godly face with a tinge of a red hue.

"Brother," Huo Yan shouted.

It was the first he has seen his brother getting slapped and what else was horrifying,

His brother didn't even dodge and willingly accepted the slap. 

The leader turned to face the person in front of his eyes. 

Her face looked red with anger and her big black eyes widened with shock.

Her hair and robe fluttering in the wind.

A smile bloomed in his lips.

The moment the leader saw the stunning looks of the boy he felt something fishy,

this fellow appeared too pretty for a man,

Even during the duel, he thought that this boy had some effeminate charms.

Well, it was not wrong to have delicate features, but when he saw the haughty smile on Bai Yu Yue's face, he felt a tug at heart.

The way her cold black eyes stares at him, 

The way her slender figure moves around,

The way she teases him with a husky voice,

He was smitten by her. 

The moment when his hands touched something soft instead of a muscular chest, he felt like a lightning had struck him. It was soft and squishy like tofu.

He was curious, that's why he squeezed the little mount. And the second time when his hands came in contact with the soft mount, he realized what was hidden beneath the robe.

The warrior who was fighting with him, head to head was nothing but a girl. His curiosity was kicking high to see how she looked in real.

Looking at his bewildered expression, Bai Yu Yue felt like punching right into his face.

He tricked her and even took advantage of her.

She tried to throw a punch, but he easily dodged that and pulled the strings of her robe, untying it and revealing the upper torso,

The fierce warrior he fought was replaced with an extremely beautiful girl.

His eyes went down her slender neck.

Her honey-coloured body was gleaming under the sun and he saw the curves and mounts in it. Even though she wore a white cloth across her rising bosom, one could easily figure out what they are. Her flat abdomen and tear-shaped belly button pushed his mind into the fire.

When the cold wind caressed her delicate skin, Bai Yu Yue figured out that her robe has been untied and she is standing in her inner clothes.

There was a momentary fear in her eyes and she immediately grabbed the ends of the robe to cover her body.

The leader let out a chuckle when he saw her clumsy actions.

Her face was reddened due to embarrassment and anger.

"Pervert!!"

She waved her hands towards his handsome cheek. 

He blocked her hands and leaned to her side.

The anger in her eyes immediately turned into fear.

He smiled at her, revealing his dimples on his cheeks.

What is he? 

Seeing his bright smile in close up made her heart to skip a beat.

She was mesmerized by the devilish charm and stopped struggling for a moment.

"Sorry," he leaned and captured her red plump lips in a moment.

The shock has widened Bai Yu Yue's eyes and she tried to release herself from his hold.

She unclasped the hand which used to hold her robe and tried to push him.

He simply ignored her struggles and grabbed her waist to pull her closer.

The girl was punching and hitting him in the chest with her free arm, but he was immersed in the sweetness offered by her lips. 

The whole group was frozen at their spot.

Their leader was well known among the ladies because of his stunning features. Even though he has mastered the art of "sweet-talks" but he never used it with any of his female fans. 

Everybody thought that their leader was waiting for the "one" rather than going around and playing with other's hearts. 

But everything shattered when their leader threw himself at a "boy" in front of his group.

Huo Yan was the one who is shocked the most.

He almost choked blood, when he witnessed the explicit scene in front of his eyes. 

Huo Yan and his brother, Huo Jin were accompanying master Mu Chen for the past five years. 

His hard work and dedication have pushed Huo Jin into the position of the sect leader, who was honoured by everyone. 

He even earned the title of the most favourite disciple of their master.

Among his peers, Huo Jin was famous for his attacking strategies displayed during combats.

But when did he learn the strategy of "attacking the opponent with a kiss?" 

Huo Yan looked at his brother who is currently fighting with all his might. He has turned into a hungry beast and his attack on the prey was heavy.

Huo Jin's kisses were becoming more and more domineering and Bai Yu Yue felt that her soul has been sucked out by him.

She was gasping for air.

He slowly released her lips and looked her with hungry eyes.

The girl looked at him with tired eyes and fainted into his arms.

Bai Yu Yue lied in his arms like a withered flower.

A smile bloomed in his lips and grabbed the girl's cheeks. Her cheeks were flushed red. He patted girl's cheeks with a light force. There was a slight reaction from her. He smiled and carried her in his arms and walked towards his horse.

"Brother," Huo Yan called him.

"She is injured."

"Yes, you just choked her to death." Yan didn't speak the words came to his mind. Wait a minute, did he say "she"?

"He is a girl?" Huo Yan almost spat blood,

He looked at the girl lying in his brother's arms.

"We need to take her back to master."

What?

"This fellow needs medical attention otherwise her wound is going to get worse," He carefully looked at her bleeding arm, "She is even running a fever,"

"She fought you, while she was burning with a fever?" Huo Yan looked at the girl awestruck,

A girl who is tiny and weak fought with him,

"What about the one who escaped?" Huo Jin remembered the girl with her,

"She escaped," Huo Yan replied,

"Look for her," Huo Jin ordered two of his soldiers.

"Yes, senior brother," They immediately rode their horses towards the direction which Xue Lian went.

Huo Jin looked at the girl in his arms, gently placed the girl on the horseback and climbed on to the horse.

"Let's go," he ordered and held the lash,

The troop have travelled for one hour through the forest path and reached their destination in the deep forest. 

Hidden behind the ancient old trees, a giant building stood in all its glory.

There were numerous other buildings scattered around it.

A large group of students wearing black uniforms were training in front of the main building.

The arrival of Huo Jin and his troop made the students stop their practice abruptly and bowed in unison.

Huo Jin accepted their greeting with his rough and tough demeanour as the responsible leader of the sect. 

"Jiang Ze Min," he called a boy stood in the farthest end of the line. 

"Yes, brother," he came running towards Huo Jin's horse.

"Get second master Mu," he asked him.

"Second master Mu? have you hurt anywhere," Jiang Ze Min looked at Huo Jin in doubt.

"Hm," he pointed towards his back. There was a weak boy was clung to Huo Jin's shoulder.

"I will get the stretcher," Jiang Ze Min ran towards one of the huts.

"No need," Huo Jin refused the help and gently carried the patient and walked towards the building.

"Take him to infantry, I will bring Master," Huo Yan volunteered and got down from the horse.

"What happened, brother Yan?" Jiang Ze Min asked Huo Yan. "Who is he?"

"It is a big story, you should better ask your senior brother." Huo Yan was still haven't realised from the effect of what he has witnessed an hour ago,

"Where is the second master?" He walked towards the eastern end of the building,

"Your lowly disciple salutes second master Mu," Huo Yan bowed in front of his master.

Second master Mu Qing was a man in his late thirties.

"You have returned".

"Master, there is someone who needs medical attention." Huo Yan reported,

"Who is that idiot, who cannot take care of himself?" Mu Qing said in the annoyed tone, "Every time, you go to town there will be one causality." 

It was a common knowledge in the sect that Huo Yan is a trouble maker. Wherever he goes, he somehow creates a ruckus and comes back injured. 

"No, no. It is not us. It is someone else," Huo Yan cleared his part, "She fought against brother,"

"She," Mu Qing's was baffled,

"Huo Jin fought with a woman?"

"She was cross-dressed as a man."

"Let me take a look," Mu Qing rose to his feet and walked out,

At the right time, the soldiers who went searching for Xue Lian came back,

"Did you find her?" Huo Yan inquired. 

"She found her guard,"

"Her guard?" He asked in disbelief.

"The person who found her was wearing clothes similar to that of the royal guards in Qi kingdom." They reported.

So, the girl who fought Huo Jin is a royal guard from the Qi Kingdom!

"You fought with the royal guards?"

"No, she was the one who started." Huo Yan lied, they were the ones who teased them. If his master hears about the rowdy behaviours of his students they will be punished severely.

"Yes, yes." The other two soldiers immediately agreed.

"He, cough, she mistook us for some bandits and fought with us to save their princess." Huo Yan said with a sincere face. 

"Hm, let me see the patient and ask her what exactly happened." Mu Qing warned them and entered into the infirmary,

Huo Jin was sitting on the bed looking at the girl with mesmerizing eyes.

How can someone be so good looking while being sick? 

"Cough cough," Huo Yan notified their arrival,

Huo Jin stood up from the bed and bowed before his master,

Mu Qing walked towards the bed and took a look at the person who is lying on the bed.

There was a hue of surprise sparkling in his eyes.

"Master, can you keep her real identity as a secret?"

Mu Qing looked at him.

"I couldn't differentiate her from a man."

Mu Qing examined the condition of the girl.

He took her arm and checked the pulse. 

"Did you choke the patient?" Master Mu looked at his disciple and saw a sheepish look on his reddened face.
