MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 142– THE DREAM VISION_3

Tian Liam walked out to the garden and hugged “Hou Lei” from behind.

-Thank you for always being by my side. – He said.

-Me, too. – She touched his hand.

A strange feeling started from his hand and spread across his body. He felt something not right, but he could not realize what it was. Hou Lei put down the water pot on her hand and turned back to look directly into his eyes.

-Well, you are hungry, right? – She smiled.

-A bit. – He held his stomach.

-I have already prepared breakfast for you. – She touched his cheek, another surge of sensation spread through his body again, this time, it was a little bit more familiar.

The inner palace “Hou Lei” was trying to catch his feeling with her, instead of the real feeling for the real Hou Lei. She led him into the room and let him sit down next to the large table in the middle of the room. She poured some tea into a cup and gave him.

-Just wait for me some minutes, I will make the food warm again.

He nodded and got some tea, the tea somehow was different from the one in his memory. Nothing liked the special tea that Hou Lei made with the West Land’s recipe. He felt confused much, not knowing what happened, and why he was feeling this kind of sensation.

“Hou Lei” came back and brought a tray of food with her. She put the tray on the table and put food into his bowl. Tian Liam got some and tried to find the taste in his memory, but no, there was no trace of that delicious taste, replaced by a very strange taste.

-Is it good? – She asked.

-Yup, very delicious. – He lied and looked at her.

There had to be some kind of dark magic leading him to meet this “Hou Lei”. Although he did not remember what happened the previous night, he felt doubts about this lady, she was definitely not his “cutie” wife. He knew that the dark magic would not let him be free easily, he should follow this lady’s instruction instead of fighting with the unknown source of magic.

Two days passed, Lei Hwa had treated Hou Lei well, her magical ability was back, they planned to return to the palace and rescued the people in there. They had to be controlled by the dream vision. The more days in the dream, the more difficult to help them out. They went back to the entrance of the palace where Lei Hwa recognized the magical shield.

-I do not know if our magic can fight with this shield. – Hou Lei wondered.

-I do not, too. However, we need to give a try. The guy made this shield had spent a lot of time and magic to create the source of dark magic in the flowers in the garden. – Lei Hwa replied.

-I do not understand why Wu’s magical book led us to break the source.

-The idea of Wu’s magical book is good, to break the plan of the black assassin, however, it cannot predict what will happen when the source is released. In addition, the source was created after the book had been written.

-It is lucky when I brought Tian Liam’s sword with me. Also, I am worried that without the sword, Tian Liam cannot fight with the dark magic in there.

-Do not worry much, the dream vision will not let anyone have a chance to fight with it, even Miang Xiang. It will change time by time to adapt to people’s ambitions.

-Okay, Mom, let us give a try.

Inside the palace, Miang Xiang still wanted to go to meet the Princes, but Mr. Hu explained to her many reasons to not, he kept her tightly in the room, with the soldiers outside every time. Miang Xiang also could not use her magic to fight the soldiers, because they were just like her, the real people in real life stuck in this dream vision.

On Tian Liang’s and Tian Liam’s sides, the fake Hou Lei(s) also prevented them to walk out of the room. They needed time to grow new sensations with them in the Princes’ minds. And they were on the way to success, Tian Liang was more accepting the food of his “Hou Lei”, and Tian Liam was more familiar with the tea he drank every morning. They just went to meet their Father every day, but not meet each other, and then came back to their rooms with their beloved wives.

Outside the palace, Hou Lei brought out Tian Liam’s sword and Lei Hwa called her scissors with a spell. They used magic to put into the sword and the scissors, then made them fly up and stab to the shield surrounding the palace. The magical fight happened with strong winds blowing around the place. The assassin, at some private place, sensed the fight and tried to put more magic into the shield. After a while, Hou Lei and Lei Hwa put more magic into their weapons and the shield seemed to be leaked a small scratch.

By the difference of magic atmosphere level from inside and outside the shield, the suction force from inside of the palace was created and pulled Lei Hwa into the palace. Hou Lei was surprised by what happened, but she could not stop fighting the shield.

Lei Hwa was thrown onto a large road leading to the meeting room of the Emperor. She got up and looked at the scene surrounding. The dark magic did not change anything, it just changed the actions of people in the palace. Tian Liam walked out of the meeting room and returned to his room. On the way, he met Lei Hwa.

-Who are you? – He asked.

-Tian Liam, it is lucky to meet you. – Lei Hwa ran to his place. – Hou Lei is outside, come with me.

She held his hand but he pulled back.

-Miss… I ask you again, who are you?

-I am Lei Hwa, Hou Lei’s mother!

-No, you are not. Hou Lei’s mother is the Queen of West Land, how can she come here alone like this?

-Tian Liam, we are in the dream vision, you need to be out of here as soon as possible.

-What are you talking about? Do you want to hypnotize me?

-Okay, this kid, you do not have a strong mind as I think.

Lei Hwa brought out some herbs and chanted a spell. The herbs flew around Tian Liam and shined, they tried to push the effects of the dark magic out of his body. At that time, Tian Liang was on the way to meet the Emperor and saw the scene. He walked closer to the two.

-What are you two doing? – Tian Liang asked.

And for the first time from the night of breaking the dark magic source, the two Princes met each other.

-Tian Liang? – Tian Liam was surprised. – I think that you are on your trip to make a relationship with other countries and planning to marry East Land’s Princess.

-Tian Liam? – Tian Liang was also surprised. – You should be at the South Land now, with your wife, Liu Han, to fight with the unrespect groups of people who fight against Main Land.

-Nope, my wife is Hou Lei, the Princess of West Land, not Liu Han. – Tian Liam exclaimed.

-What? Are you drunk? Hou Lei is my wife! – Tian Liang said.

-Okay, okay, my Princes. – Lei Hwa said. – You two need to be calmed down.

-And who is this lady? – Tian Liang asked.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 141 – THE DREAM VISION_2

Miang Xiang got up at the same time with Hou Lei, she realized she was laying in a strange but familiar room. She tried to sit up and knew that she was still in the palace. She looked around to find Hou Lei, Tian Liam, and Tian Liang, but they were nowhere to be found. She could also sense the strange magic surrounding her and the whole palace, and there was no source of magic like the source they found in the royal garden. The door of the room opened and the light came brightly into the room. She saw a familiar shadow slowly walking into the room. He was the Soldier General, Mr. Hu. He was bringing a tray with him, she could smell something like medicine and food. He walked close to the bed, she closed her eyes immediately.

-You are still sleeping, honey! – Mr. Hu said with a gentle voice. – The doctor had checked for your health, nothing to worry about.

He held her hands and put it to his cheek, rubbed against his skin. She felt warm and everything seemed to be realistic, but she knew that Mr. Hu would not do anything like this with her, he had spent the whole life of him being beside her, however, not even talking love with her once. She moved her finger a bit to let him know she had woken.

-Miang Xiang, you woke up? – He asked.

-You are too noisy! – Miang Xiang lied.

She opened her eyes, she thought she should not make this kind of magic battle know her idea about it. He helped her sit up and brought a bowl of medicine to her bed.

-Get it slowly, I will help you! – He took a spoon of medicine liquid and gave it to her mouth.

There had to be something in the medicine, she could sense the strange smell. It would make her mind become weak and she would be in this magic battle forever. She thought about a spell and chanted it whisperingly. She got the medicine from Mr. Hu, but when she swallowed it, the medicine would be led to the lake near the room, not to her stomach. After getting all of the liquid medicine in the bowl, he helped her to walk to the table. The food seemed to be normal, but when she rubbed her eyes with her hands, there were many things strange about the dishes. She recognized some of them, they were some kinds of herbs from the East Land, their effect was making her magic become weak and slowly disappear.

She walked closer to the table of food but she stopped and pretended to vomit. She covered her mouth with her hands and pushed Mr. Hu away. She ran out to the garden outside the room. She continued pretending to vomit. Mr. Hu followed her immediately.

-Are you okay, Miang Xiang? – He asked.

-Oh, just some side effects of the medicine, I guess. – She replied. – Do not worry about it, I will be okay. She looked to the water in the lake where the medicine had been led to before, there was dark smoke coming out of the surface of the water. She was right, she now was in a dream vision. Mr. Hu in front of her eyes was real, but he was controlled by the owner of the magic battle. She could not hurt him, she needed to find Hou Lei, with her current status, she could not break the seal of the battle alone. She turned and held Mr. Hu’s hands.

-I am okay, I want to meet the Prince and the Princess. – She said.

-I will lead you to meet them, you are still weak now. – He replied.

+++

Also that morning, Tian Liang woke up and realized he was in his room. He looked around and saw Hou Lei was arranging things in his room.

-Hou Lei, what are you doing here? – He wondered.

-You knocked your head on the door last night, and forget me also? – She turned back.

-But last night, we… - He tried to remember the things, but no scene appeared in his mind.

-Tian Liang, you are my husband, you need to remember only that.

-Your husband? Me? It should be Tian Liam.

-Tian Liam? – She laughed. – He has a happy life with Liu Han. Why should I be his wife when he does not love me? You do not remember anything?

-Yup, everything seems to be strange to me. – He rubbed his head.

-Well, do you still remember our first meet on the field near the West Land?

-Yup, and then I had to go back to the palace.

-Some years later, you came back to find me, and brought me here with you. We have married for more than eight years, Tian Liang. You make me upset when not remembering our sweet memories and the time we have had.

-Sorry, I do not mean that, but…

-Okay, you should rest your mind, and you will remember all things soon. I have prepared a basin of warm water and breakfast for you. Let me help you!

She held his hand and helped him to go to the table. He washed his face, and then sat down on a chair next to the large table in the middle of his room. He looked at the food on the table, they were traditional dishes of Main Land, nothing relating to the Hou Ma tribe or the West Land. She put some food into his bowl and smiled.

-The food is going to be cool down.

-Okay. – He put some food into his mouth, nothing like the taste he remembered.

-How is it? Or the knock was too hard, so you also forget the taste of my food?

-It is delicious. – He replied, actually delicious but not the taste he wanted.

-Well, let you have some tea. – She poured tea into his cup.

-Thanks, I need to go to the meeting with the bureaucrats today.

-Your head is still hurt, I have asked Father for you a day leave today. Do not worry much about the works in the government, Tian Liam and Big Brother will help you.

-Big Brother? Is that he… - He tried to remember the things that happened to the Crown Prince, but he could not, there was a big hole in his mind.

-What? What happened? – She wondered.

-Oh, nothing. – He continued eating.

-I bring the tray back to the kitchen, you should take more rest. I will meet the doctor and ask for some medicine to treat your wound on your forehead.

She walked out of the room. Tian Liang felt lost, he did not know what happened last night, what had happened to the Crown Prince, and why Hou Lei could become his wife. He thought he should find Tian Liam for an answer, but he felt weak and walked to his bed, fell into sleep immediately.

+++

Tian Liam also woke up and saw Hou Lei was watering the trees in the garden. He sat up and walked out of the bed, to the window.

-My beloved wife, why do you care much about your trees first before your husband? – He asked.

-I have cooked breakfast for you, on the table, with a basin of warm water right next to the window for you to wash your face. Do I care about you?

-Okay, okay, you are number one!

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 140 – THE DREAM VISION

The flowers were cut into thousands of pieces. A dark cloud of smoke came out from the bund and spread across the palace very fast.

-Be careful! – Miang Xiang yelled to others.

However, it was too late, the smoke was too fast, it covered all the sky of the palace. Everyone fell down on the ground and slept deeply. The next morning, Hou Lei got up and she saw no one beside her, including Tian Liam, Tian Liang, and Miang Xiang. She stood up and felt weak, like she used too much magic last night.

-Tian Liam, Miss Miang Xiang, Tian Liang??? – She called them, no answerback.

There was a strange sensation surrounding her. Hou Lei looked at the bund destroyed last night and saw a thing like a gem. It was shining with a purple light and flying above the flowers. She walked close to it and wonder, “Is it the Hou Ma gem?”. She had not seen the Hou Ma gem before, so she could not tell if this was the gem or not. She touched it and it stopped shining in her hands.

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, a similar voice came from nowhere talking to her, it seemed like her father’s voice.

-Father, where are you? How can you reach here? – She asked with the hope of getting a reply.

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, the voice came again, but not answering her question. She thought that the gem in her hand was really the Hou Ma gem, and her father knew that she had finished her mission and wanted her to come back and rescue the Hou Ma tribe. But, how about Tian Liam? Would he be okay without her?

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, the voice came once again and it led Hou Lei to her decision. She needed to revive her tribe first of all, after that, she would find Tian Liam and he would understand her choice.

On another place, through the night, Lei Hwa was trying to connect with Hou Lei and Miang Xiang but she could not. There was energy stopping her from doing that. She knew that magic was very strong and she needed to act before it did something harmful to her daughter and her friends. Lei Hwa went to the entrance of the palace and saw something like a shield covering the whole palace. She chanted a spell and scissors appeared above her head. She moved her hands to control the scissors to fly near the shield, she used magic to put into it and tried to cut the shield, but it was no use. The shield even fought back and pushed her to fall down on the ground. Suddenly, she saw Hou Lei flew out of the high wall of the palace.

-Hou Lei! Hou Lei! – She tried to call her daughter.

However, it seemed that Hou Lei did not hear her voice. She realized that there was dark magic surrounding her daughter’s body. Lei Hwa got a horse near there and followed Hou Lei, she did not think her daughter having this kind of flying magic, and she was so fast. Lei Hwa thought that Hou Lei was controlled by the dark magic of the shield, she used a spell to look clearer into Hou Lei and saw a thing like a drop connecting her and the palace.

She followed Hou Lei some more miles and realized she was on the way back to the Hou Ma tribe. “It was a dangerous thing to come back there without the Hou Ma gem, with this distance, I think the connection between her and the source of dark magic in the palace is weak. So now or never!”

Lei Hwa made her scissors appeared again and moved it slowly closer to Hou Lei. She clapped her hands and the scissors cut the rope connecting to Hou Lei. The rope was cut and Hou Lei fell down from the high level she was flying. Lei Hwa chanted a spell and a white cloud appeared below her daughter to catch her and slowly moved down to the ground.

-Hou Lei, are you okay? Hou Lei…

Lei Hwa ran to her daughter’s place, Hou Lei was still keeping tightly the gem in her hands.

Lei Hwa brought her daughter to a small motel near the place. She rented a room and asked the waiter to help her bring Hou Lei to the room and put her on the bed. She used some herbs and salt to spread around the bed and chanted a spell to protect Hou Lei from harmful things. She then walked out to find a medicine store to find some herbs to treat for Hou Lei.

After coming back, she asked the owner of the motel to borrow a pot and extracted the medicine for Hou Lei. She brought the bowl of medicine to the room. Hou Lei was saying something, she put the bowl on the table and walked close to the bed.

“No, I must bright the gem back to revive my tribe, you cannot stop me!”, she talked in the dream.

“This must be a dream vision, I cannot touch her now, it might lead her to danger.”, Lei Hwa talked to herself. She thought for a while and raised her hands up to chant a spell, the liquid in the bowl flew out in a flow and she used her finger to lead it to Hou Lei’s mouth. After the flow of medicine getting into Hou Lei’s body, her body shined brightly and the dark smoke around her body disappeared. Hou Lei opened her eyes and saw Lei Hwa.

-Mother, how can you get into the palace? – Hou Lei surprised.

-Look clearly, my sweet! We are not in the palace! – Lei Hwa answered.

-But how? Last night, I and Tian Liam still fought with Tian Liang and some kinds of dark magic.

-You do not remember what happened this morning?

-I… I… oh, I found the Hou Ma gem.

Hou Lei opened her hand to show Lei Hwa the gem, however, it was just a normal stone.

-This is not the Hou Ma gem, my sweet!

-But it shined a purple light this morning… so I think…

-You were in the dream vision and it let you think this stone was the gem, leading you to come back to the Hou Ma tribe to revive them.

-The dream vision?

-Yup, it made people think that they had reached their dreams, their purposes, or their deepest desires, and made them want to live in the dream forever. In that way, it would take the power and life from them for its master.

-Its master? Can he be the black assassin?

-I have no idea, however, that guy must have much magic to cover the dream for all people in the palace. I do not know anyone can do that, it is such a very strong source of magic.

-All people in the palace? Including Tian Liam, Miang Xiang, and Tian Liang?

-Maybe, or maybe not. With the one who has a strong mental ability, they can fight with the dream and come back to reality. Of those three persons, I think only Miang Xiang can.

-But Tian Liam and Tian Liang also have strong minds.

-On another hand, they have strong desires and ambitions of possession, too.

-Ambition of possession?

-You, both guys want to have you for their own, so this is an easy point that the dream vision can lead them to connect with it, like you have the desire to revive our tribe. When the desire is big enough, there is no way you can fight with the dream vision.

-How can we help them now? They are in danger!

-You should get back your magic first, the shield around the palace is very strong, it is not easy for us to get into the palace and help them.

In the meantime, Tian Liam and Tian Liang walked up and saw Hou Lei beside them.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 139 – THE ROYAL GARDEN

-You also need to be careful with that book, My Princes. – Miang Xiang said.

-I do not think it does harmful things to me. – Hou Lei answered. – It just appeared in front of my eyes and then disappeared mysteriously.

-I do not think so. – Tian Liam said. – One day, I saw it and when I wanted to touch it, a source of energy came out from the book and made me fall into a faint.

-Was that the day we had argued and you were waiting for me? – Hou Lei wondered.

-Yup, and I just thought that had been a dream when I woke up. – Tian Liam continued. – However, when I saw it the second time, I knew it was real, and somehow, it had a relationship with you.

-After that, you asked some soldiers to come to the West Land and got a survey about me? – Hou Lei asked with a bothered voice.

-Well, I do not think you know that. However, the results led me to nowhere. – Tian Liam replied.

-Okay, I do not think Tian Liam had doubts about you, he just wanted to know well about you. – Tian Liang said. – But if the book has its own purpose, we need to be more careful.

-It will not appear occasionally. – Miang Xiang replied. – It might want our Princess to do some things for it. The book is not like the book of the Hou Ma tribe, you cannot control it.

-I will read the book of the Hou Ma tribe to find some info about this strange book. – Hou Lei said.

-Wait, do you feel anything, Miss Miang Xiang? – Hou Lei asked.

-A source of dark energy. – Miang Xiang replied. – From that direction…

They ran to the place, following Miang Xiang. The direction was leading to the royal garden.

-The royal garden! – Hou Lei realized it.

-Shhhh! – Miang Xiang put a finger on her mouth. – We need to know who is behind those strange things and the source of the energy.

They lightly walked closer to the garden.

-There are many dark clouds in the sky. – Tian Liang said and pointed to the sky above them.

-How could it be? – Tian Liam wondered. – Hou Lei said the palace’s land had its own protection from the dark magic.

-Except… - Tian Liang paused.

-It comes from a member of the royal family. – Hou Lei replied.

They walked to the entrance leading to the garden. There was a man standing in front of the small lake in the garden. He was chanting some words like a spell.

-It seems to be a spell. – Hou Lei said. – Can you recognize it, Miss Miang Xiang?

-Maybe a spell of the Wu magic. – Miang Xiang answered. – So strange, and so powerful. This guy must be a Master of magic.

-But he does not look like the assassin. – Tian Liam wondered.

-He is the assassin’s puppet. – Miang Xiang replied. – Just like when he controlled you and Tian Liang.

-This shadow… very familiar. – Tian Liang tried to look clearer at the guy.

-Big Brother! – Tian Liam said.

-We must rescue him from that assassin. – Tian Liang stood up.

-Wait, my Second Prince. – Miang Xiang held his hand. – He might hurt the Prince.

- But we cannot let him be controlled like that. – Tian Liang said.

-I have an idea. – Hou Lei stood up and brought out the unicorn jade.

-The unicorn jade? – Miang Xiang surprised. – How can you have it? I think it is kept by the Er tribe.

-My mother brought it to me. We will talk about it later. – Hou Lei raised the jade over her head and chanted a spell.

The winds came from many directions and absorbed by the jade. Then she pointed the jade at the dark clouds in the sky. The winds came out and took the cloud with them to the other places. The First Prince stopped his chanting and looked back to see them.

-Look like your dark energy concentration spell was corrupted now. – Hou Lei said.

-You do not think that I will hurt this crazy Prince? – Tian Leong asked.

-With what? – Miang Xiang appeared behind Tian Leong and blew some sparkling powder to his face.

-What is that? – Tian Leong tried to cover his face.

-Can I borrow your sword, Tian Liam? – Hou Lei asked.

-Do you know how to use it? – Tian Liam wondered.

-Of course, yes!

She took the sword and got it out from the cover. Hou Lei jumped high to Tian Leong's place and pointed the sword at him.

-Hou Lei, please do not hurt him! – Tian Liam shouted out.

The sword reached to Tian Leong’s place and something seemed to like ropes stopping it. Hou Lei tried to push the sword down. Miang Xiang also jumped up and waved her hands beside the sword. The sword slowly moved down, Tian Liam and Tian Liang were surprised when seeing those invisible ropes were cut although they were transparent.

-Is that called magic? – Tian Liam gapesed his mouth.

-Yup, a wonderful magical fight! – Tian Liang followed each step of the ladies.

Hou Lei moved the sword to the left and right sides of Tian Leong. More invisible ropes were cut. Tian Leong was then closed his eyes and fell down to the ground.

-Tian Leong, are you okay? – Tian Liam ran to the place.

-He will be fine. – Miang Xiang said. – Do not worry much.

-Should we treat the source of this garden, also? – Hou Lei asked.

-Of course! – Miang Xiang nodded. – My Third Prince, we need your help!

Tian Liam stood up, Miang Xiang on the left side of him and Hou Lei on the right side.

-This source has been maintaining day by day, years after years, not easy to break it. – Miang Xiang explained. – However, I think with my and Hou Lei’s magic, plus the Prince’s sword, we can fight it.

-What exactly do I need to do? – Tian Liam asked.

-Just give a cut to that bush of flowers. – Hou Lei pointed at a bush.

-Well, sound easy. – He nodded.

Hou Lei and Miang Xiang raised their hand and chanted spells, a green light appeared on Hou Lei’s hands and a pink one on Miang Xiang’s hands. They pushed the light to Tian Liam’s sword making the sword shine brightly.

-Now, Tian Liam. – Hou Lei said.

Tian Liam moved his sword and cut on the direction to the bush.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 138 – HER IDENTITY REVELATION

Miang Xiang pushed Tian Liang to walk into the entrance leading to Hou Lei’s room.

-I think only you are enough. – Tian Liang said.

-Just get inside, I have something for you, too. – Miang Xiang continued to push him.

-Tian Liam, Hou Lei, do we bother you two? – Tian Liang asked.

-Brother, Miss Miang Xiang, just get in. – Tian Liam walked to their place.

-We have some news to inform you about. – Miang Xiang sat down next to Hou Lei.

-About the assassin… - Tian Liang started.

He told the couple about the meet between him and the assassin and his past.

-Well, this guy is not an easy one to fight with. – Hou Lei commented.

-Yup, when I fought with him, I could sense that his magical power had been getting much stronger than the last time I had met him. – Miang Xiang said.

-However, it has been nearly 15 years, and you did not meet him in that period. – Tian Liam said. – There could be many things that happened.

-Another thing, I felt that his magic was getting darker like he spent many years improving his Wu magic, but this kind of magic, having a bad side, if someone has evil purposes or wanting to revenge, his Wu magic will become dark magic easily. – Miang Xiang explained.

-How could he use dark magic in this palace? – Tian Liam wondered. – As Hou Lei said, the palace is a religious place, it can prevent the effects of bad things.

-There must be a connection between him and the palace, so he can use Wu magic here. – Miang Xiang said. – However, I do not know what it is, he had hidden it for any years, not easy for us to find out.

-I met a dark smoke in the royal garden on some days after I came here. – Hou Lei said. – But from that time till now, I have not seen it again. I think the smoke was related to Wu's magic. More than that, both I and Tian Liam saw Wu’s magical book in my room.

-Wu’s magical book? – Miang Xiang and Tian Liang said at the same time.

-Do you know about that book, Tian Liang? – Hou Lei surprised.

-That was the thing that assassin mentioned when he talked to me. – Tian Liang answered.

-And it must be his purpose to come here at this time. He knows that Hou Lei may be the only one who can read that book. – Miang Xiang continued.

-But how? – Hou Lei wondered. – I do not have anything related to that book.

-I have no idea. – Miang Xiang replied. – Maybe the book chooses whom it wants to show itself to. It relates to the book’s purpose.

-Or it knows Hou Lei has the book of the Hou Ma tribe? – Tian Liang said.

-Maybe. – Miang Xiang nodded. – The two magical books have a connection.

-Wait a minute. – Tian Liam said. – The book of Hou Ma tribe? Was that book destroyed with the Hou Ma tribe? No one found it when they came to the tribe.

-The reason was my mother brought it with her and she was captured by Er Wang. – Hou Lei answered. – So your Main Land people did not find out it.

-It means you are really the Princess of Hou Ma tribe. – Tian Liam asked.

-Yup, I think I do not need to hide it from you anymore. – Hou Lei nodded.

-And Miss Lei Hwa is her mother. – Tian Liang said.

-That is it. – Tian Liam put his chin on his hand. – The first time I met her, I thought that you and she had many things the same on your faces.

-Did you meet my mother before the meeting in the motel of Miss Miang Xiang? – Hou Lei surprised.

-Yup, she was the one wanting to buy the hairpin I chose for you. And I let her buy it, some days later, I saw you put it on your hair and that made me feel doubt about you two. – Tian Liam replied.

-This world is too small, right? – Miang Xiang said. – Are you scared about knowing Hou Lei’s real identity, Tian Liam?

-Nope, from the time I knew that she was not the Princess of West Land, I thought that I needed to care more about her, she had to have a reason to come here alone. – Tian Liam replied. – Knowing she is the Princess of Hou Ma tribe making me love her more and wanting to use my love to make her happy in this palace. It is not easy to accept the reality that you are the only one surviving in this large world when your family has all died.

-Do you ever think that she wants to get revenge for your family? – Miang Xiang asked.

-If she wanted that, she would have done 3 years ago. – Tian Liam said and looked at her.

-Tian Liam, I am not as good as you said. – Hou Lei touched his cheek.

-Until now, my family is still alive, except Big Brother is mad because of obsessing into you. – Tian Liam replied. – And I think his madness is related to the assassin, not you.

-Okay, so all things about Hou Lei are not secrets anymore. – Tian Liang fetched a sigh.

-Do not tell me that you knew her real identity a long time ago? – Tian Liam wondered.

-Yup, the first time I met her. – Tian Liang answered. – And I even knew her and Miss Miang Xiang much earlier than you. However, it is not our subject here. We need to discuss the assassin and what he needs when he wants to have Wu’s magical book.

-It must be related to his lover. – Tian Liam said. – But, who is his lover?

-I have no idea, do you know that lady, Miss Miang Xiang? – Tian Liang asked.

-I only know that she used to be a priest of East Land. – Miang Xiang answered. – They used to love each other much, but the lady had her own purpose and left that assassin alone. That is the reason why the assassin wants to have to Wu’s magical book, he wants to improve his magical power and casts a curse on his lover for making her love him in her whole life.

-That is not loving, that is the obsession of the possession. – Tian Liam said.

-Why did he not think about what he would have with that curse? A lifeless wife will be beside him every day. She will not love him with her heart. – Tian Liang shook his head.

-Love in the wrong way will lead people to wrong directions. – Miang Xiang said. – I know that, and even, people can be punished for their own faults.

-Miss Miang Xiang, I still do not know why the assassin cannot read Wu’s magical book? – Hou Lei asked. – He practices Wu magic, and it has some relationship to the book.

-The owner of Wu’s magical book did not want it to be kept by bad guys, so he put some magic on the book helping it to recognize who are good people, who are bad. – Miang Xiang replied. – And through the years, it has its own magical shield to prevent the Wu priests from finding out and catching the information in it.

-A little bit complicated. – Tian Liam wondered. – Why did the Wu’s magical book not want itself to be used by Wu priests?

-The book contains much precious information, just like the book of the Hou Ma tribe. People believe that the two books must contain the spells of longevity, the powerful spells to control the world, or something like those.

-It looks like we need to protect that book, too. – Hou Lei said.
