In Jian mansion.Nine months before the main event.
" Lu ge ge!* Open the door! Its me Jian mei! "
* ( ge ge - a term used to address elder brother. )
Jian mei, a pampered princess from Jian family and this Jian lu"s little sister.
She is calling out for her shut in brother to open his d.a.m.n door.
If we describe her features, she had a fair skin which appeared smooth, as a beautiful piece of jade her entire body was carved out as a perfect sculpting. If not for her status, taking in account of her perfectly shaped curves, and her voluptuous body, she was quite an alluring figure which could drive men to insanity, to commit crime for obtaining her chast.i.ty.
Well, there"s a saying that regardless of man"s success or failure, a women has played a part behind it, so was the case for this poor Jian lu.
If we look at his past, Jian lu was infatuated by a seductive women named Shen yin. Her beauty was a one which could rival that of his sister.
Every move she made was filled with elegance, her smile was full of self-a.s.surance, and with her voluptuous body no man can dare to reject her proposal. Naturally it was same for this Jian lu, being in youth who had experienced a common phenomenon called love at first sight. Unlike our modern days the women at ancient period had no freedom in deciding their spouse unless they had terrifying power behind or her wit which could be considered unrivalled, she can"t say no to the higher ups decision. He had his father Jian lin who was the current Jian family"s patriarch, arrange a marriage contract with Shen family she belonged, over few benefits for her.
It was no different from buying a slave for his son, but with a t.i.tle of bride over her head, Jian lu was naturally exited when he learnt the news that his admired lady was about to become his women and was gonna share the same bed with him. He wanted to marry her as quickly as possible and you know, cough.... cough.... , wanted to have a nice married relations.h.i.+p with her.
He wanted to have some memories between them, before marriage, so he had asked her out for an date.
Unlike young masters from prominent families that were surrounded by women"s who were trying to earn their favor. It was Jian lu"s first time going out with a women. To enjoy the day, they went to a famous lovers spot, the million"s flower garden, situated at Huo Long City.
Jian lu had already reserved a luxurious table at the garden, over the mountain peak where the scenery was quite beautiful.
Jian lu who had lacked a thing called romance, gave our a high grade artifact, heaven grade upper cla.s.s defensive ring and proposed to Shen yin. It was not an ordinary ring that could be found as cabbages over the market, several priceless treasures had to be exchanged for him to obtain it.
If it was for a normal women, she would have already burst out in a fit of anger, who proposes using martial artifacts, is there even a trace of love within it. But this women had few other plans up her sleeve.
There"s also a other saying that, more beautiful a women is more vicious she may actually turned out to be. She was a natural two faced vile snake, and a poisonous one at it. eveb after she had accepted his gift shamelessly, she had still plotted against him.
" Hey hubby, I wanted to say a thing from a long time. " With a shy red face, she lowered her head, down in an embarra.s.sed state, letting Jian lu have wild ambitions about her. She gave him a folded letter which was hidden between her bosoms.
His hormones started pumping up. A young adult who had nearly spent all his life practicing martial way, having less contact with women would naturally be hyped up when a beautiful women was presenting him with a letter, moreover was hidden within her bosoms.
He didn"t known that, after taking her letter he had already fallen between her vicious plots. He had taken few deep breaths before opening it. He had expected a letter of love in return. Ironically it was plain... and empty.
He was unable to determine what was she trying to convey through this act. But even before he had time to reason out with her, he felt a strange sense of power growing within his body. His trought became dry, eyes became red, for some reason he felt anger boiling up in his body. Doesn"t know the reason, why ?
Seeing his bewildered expression, she had a strange smile over her face it was extremely ugly, she chuckled out and exclaimed " So it had affected your brain successfully. "
The paper, which she had given out to him carried few poisonous spores that makes a temporary drop in persons intelligence. His body started to dehydrate quicker, he was loose his temper quickly, signs of hypertension can be noticed, he was not able to figure out why she had that ugly expression over her face, but she had a play in his current condition. He exclaimed " Why... ? "
She had successfully initiated her plot, she started out with her slandering right out in the pubic, where many witnesses were present. They were not some average person"s which they could forget. The fallen young master of Jian family and young lady of Shen family, even a single leak of information would be wide spread by many.
" Hey, you want to marry me ah? Do you have a stable income of money, for us to lead a happy family. You who is reaping off his fathers money desired me. I don"t blame your eyes for that part, since I was too attractive for you. But if not for our marriage contract, would I even glance at such a wimp, boring ! who would even marry you. "
" Shen... yi....n , why..... ? "
Jian lu was confused, " What"s happening around me, am I dreaming ? No ! Then why is there a sudden change of events, wasn"t she going to propose me... I am feeling dizzy..... water.... where"s water ? my throat it hurts and h.e.l.l and why am I unable to talk ? "
He took the wine bottle present on the table, finished it quickly without any regard for others.
" Why hasn"t he snapped yet? maybe he had strong will power, few more curses and the results will start to appear ." these were the inner thoughts of shen yin.
" Have you ever seen your face ah...? , ugly bug.... , you toad l.u.s.ting over my body, don"t you think it"s ridiculous... why don"t we cancel our contract ? "
Poor Jian lu was an ordinary body refinement 3rd stage cultivator, in this dog eat dogs world the wealth , land , status are all superficial without strength to back it up and she was not happy to marry him who was less likely to obtain even an elder"s t.i.tle, she wanted to dissolve the marriage contract between them , being young and beautiful, a women during her prime, like other desires a sense of safety for herself, can this Jian lu provide her ? no! can he help her guy all things she desire ? no! can he promise her safety after his father pa.s.sed away ? no! only people who were born with golden spoon on their mouths, such as crown prince or Ancient inheritance family"s Young Master, can fulfil her demands.
She can"t jump into her family matters directly, but can employ some back hand tricks to dissolve her marriage contract with Jian lu.
She played an ploy on Jian lu, secretly poisoning Jian lu with a potent aphrodisiac in wine at the garden after his mind had been blogged by poisonous spores, and the consequences for her actions had led Jian lu becoming uncontrolled s.e.x beast, jumping off with his little brother between his thighs over maidens working on the garden, pouncing his body over then with desire for pleasure in his eyes, stripping the waitress and defiling it without worry, even the guards that came to stop him, with no sense of gender he Jian lu.... cough.... cough... , and he had lost all face, many young masters of prestigious family"s had seen his violent behavior, he was put under control by a senior cultivators in the garden and was sent home parceled with both his hands and legs tied to prevent him from further brawling.
Few days later.
jian lu"s marriage contract with Shen yin was cancelled, they don"t want to send their beautiful daughter to Jian mansion any more as it would bring more harm than good to their family name, his close friends that had curried favor from him had started to distance from him, people around him were giving strange gazes to him and the rumors about him had spreader through out the city, unable for him to lift his head properly in public.
He started to develop a phobia against the people around him, when ever he meets the gaze of someone the incident at garden relapsed to his mind, he locked himself inside his room, preventing others to enter his place, his crying loud and was audible throughout the Jian mansion, he became a shut in neet at last.
His sister from Fenglong sect, a powerhouse in continent, had to came back to Jian mansion to see her brother.
As expected he opened his door only for his beloved younger sister, he then started to recover gradually over months, nearly nine months pa.s.sed away before he was able to initiate a conversation with his servants and started to become normal.
At present time line or time for main event.
" Shadows..... a.s.sa.s.sins.... ! "
Jian mei, saw few silhouette running on top the roofs, wearing tight black suits studded with armaments and their bodies were covered with blood, they had a thick blood l.u.s.ting aura swirling around them, that can send chills down to her bone.
The a.s.sa.s.sins were exiting out the Jian mansion from west part of masion, which was near her brother Jian lu place. Worried for her weak and defenseless brother who had just started to recover, she rushed over to quarters where her brother was staying, the formation plate that was guarding her brothers palace was broken, the guards who were supposed to guard him were all killed or beheaded clean, she started yelling out loud, shouting out her brother"s name for him to respond. She was worried, Jian lu was not responded to her calls.
" This smell... blood... ! "
Jian mei smelled an strong uncanny smell contain traces of iron in them, comming over from her brother"s room. Yes, that was smell of blood.
*Bang... Bang... Bang..... Bang....*
She slammed the door and broke it apart, she had founded her brother in an unconscious state, sitting in a ordinary chair. There were few struggle marks on his neck, with blood cutted wrist and small blade on other arm, there were few tear marks on the corner of his eyes, which showed her that it was a painful experience to the brother before he was plotted to death.
These settings, It was obviously framed as suicide to end his life and close the case quickly if justice department were involved in it.
" Lu ge ge..... ! I won"t let you die. "
She then shouted to her brother hoping he may wake up to her exclamation, his pulse fan still be felt lightly and the hope of saving him was still present, lifting Jian lu, she carried him to physician Wu dong"s place, who was quite close to his father.
Medicine Pavilion : Wu family estate
" Elder Wu... ! " , as soon as Jian mei entered the medicine pavilion, she cried out Elder wu"s name, who was also the owner of this pavilion.
It was a huge pavilion, entirely made up for one single purpose, research and development of medicines, the Wu dong that was close to her father was the current generation head of the pavilion, thousands of aspirants who wanted to enter the dao of medicine has made this pavilion their new home.
" Young lady... this young master... please hurry ! Time"s not waiting for any one, we must treat his injuries quickly ! " seeing Jian mei who was holding a weak and fragile body of a young man, a physician of the pavilion exclaimed out to her.
" Where is Elder Wu... tell him that Jian family"s young lady has arrived, he will definitely answer my request to treat my epder brother. " Jian mei shouted out elder"s name to the physicians.
" This young lady..... Master wu had left the pavilion for work ."
" What ? when will he come back. "
Master was summoned to royal court yesterday, treating consort Shen"s internal injuries, master may return by today"s evening. We will try to treat this young masters injury until master returns ."

"Please..... " She bellowed out loudly with tears dwelling from her reddened eyes, she had fallen down to her knees on her own weight after pa.s.sing her brother to the physicians before her, her legs had nearly lost all strength, as she had utilized excess qi running to the medicine pavilion.
At evening in Wu"s manor.
"Elder Wu can my brother be saved..... , even now... ."
Jian mei has asked elder wu with a strange question, as she felt that her brother"s pulse disappear and his blood cold, pupils were dilated, body had became stiff showing the early signs of death.
Elder Wu was an expert physician, who was popular for his personal research that can revive a person within a day from the period of their death, but he was not G.o.d, only persons who"s soul had not left to an eternal journey or those whose organs were completely crushed beyond repair were out of his reach.
"Little la.s.s his internal organs are destroyed can"t be restored... Dantian also broken..... more than half of his blood is lost, and he"s also poisoned, tough fatal can still be cured, it seems to done by some one who holds quite a grudge against your brother. Even with my medicine.... I can only..... only..... preserve his body for half a day, choise is yours ."
"Then... , does that mean..... Elder Wu... " ,she started to loose all hopes of his recovery and had nearly fainted over her brother"s body, until a sentence that had slipped from elder wu"s mouth had startled her, br.i.m.m.i.n.g her with hope, for his recovery.
" little la.s.s, there is a alchemy pill, it"s his hope, it was called Chongjian pill by many.
Many counterfeits that grossly copy it"s morphological features and healing abilities excluding it"s reconstruction properties are available at market, trash those are absolute trash, don"t be deceived by it and obtain those fake counterfeits, you must get the original pill regardless of the cost it may burden, it can repair and reconstruct his internal organs, heal his Dantian and can possibly save him, tough the probability is 10 percentage, with my years of research I can pump it up to fifty, rest depends upon his strong will power. "
"Chongjian pill .....isnt that Grade 7 high cla.s.s pill, reached the threshold of Grade 8 lesser cla.s.s pill, is there even one such pill we can find it in our entire dynasty, where can I possibly obtain it..... within half a day, Elder Wu ! "
( Alchemy pills are graded accordingly from Grade 1 and to Grade 9 and further divided into lesser, middle and high cla.s.ses in each grade, a grade 8 is difficult to obtain even if a family sells it"s entire property in exchange for it, since it was high cla.s.s grade 7 it was possible to obtain, if sufficient demand was met for it )
"little la.s.s, wasn"t a Chongjian pill recently added to your clans treasury ".
"Really" she exclaimed out happily over this information.
" Your family"s Grandelder, what was his name, ah, Zing.. Grandelder zing came with his elder brother Grandelder Fan to my pavilion, few days ago, Zing"s wounds were treatable, but Fan"s mortal injuries were too severe, I somehow extended his life, but still for complete recovery, I had recommend them to buy one Chongjian pill ."
To control demon beast population in the forest surrounding the mansion, which may result in a beast horde, under clans orders, an expedition was leaded by Grand elder zing along with his brother grand elder fan, even tough the expedition was a success, sadly it resulted in heavy losses as a grand elder was critically injured, with his several organs and bones crushed to pieces, he was brought to wu pavilion in critical state, luckily his cultivation realm was too high allowed a hope for his complete recovery.
" Your family"s second ancestor, even bought one such devine pill, from capital city of Devine Kingdom, tough it costed half of his life"s fortune it was worth it, this had even made an uproar in our dynasty ."
Elder Wu exclaimed about Jain family"s matter, calmly.
"I was taking care of my elder brother, so I was not well informed about it, unless some one mentioned it directly to me... " Jian mei exclaimed out .
" Little la.s.s, after half day I can"t preserve his body any more, you must get that pill before that time or else it"s not possible for me to save him ."
After paying some patronage to Elder Wu , she left her brother in his care rus.h.i.+ng to her father at max speed.
Jian family mansion.
" Father..... Father..... "
Her little white eyes were red, tears started rolling down from her Peary cheek, when she saw her father, she then ran right into her father, crying to bring out her sorrow, she exclaimed about her brother"s condition to him.
"Mei"er, worry not father here, I will save my son, my Lu"er even king of h.e.l.l needs to ask my permission if he decides to take away his life ."
Seeing the eyes filled with determination to save her brother in her father eyes, her tears stopped rolling down, she saw hope in her father, she went back to wu pavilion to look after her brother waiting for her father to bring that pill.
