Chapter 2 - Saved

Shiieeww....

After he was fully wrapped by the warm light, when the sudden burst of light ended, Li Shen was teleported out of the cave to a whole new place.

Judging from the situation he was in and from what he heard, Li Shen knew he was fairly a whole new world faraway from his birthplace.

When he appeared again, Li Shen felt like he was moving. Not himself, but the thing he was on.

Since, he was just born like an hour ago, he could not move freely. The only thing he could do at the moment was to kick his feet and wave his hands.

Hei... Li shen sighed inwardly.

Unable to do anything other than waving and kicking, he stopped all and just lay there.

Looking up, he saw the bright moon high above in the sky.

Seeing the face of the moon, Li Shen usually felt calm. At that moment, when the moonlight fell on his body, he felt the soft comfort. It was like a mother was telling her children not to worry as she was there for him.

Feeling the comfort, Li Shen smiled.

Before long, he fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, light gathered beside him. When it was done, a translucent female figure, made of light, appeared.

Even though the figure was all see-through and barely visible, if one were to see the face, they would immediately thought the moon goddess herself had came down on earth.

Unbeknownst to Li Shen, the figure smiled and looked at Li Shen, like it was looking at her own child.

Then, the figure slowly and softly scooped up Li Shen from the hard wooden surface and slowly hold him in her arms.

She, then, gently hummed a soft tone, like she was humming her child to sleep.

The reason why Li Shen felt like he was moving was because he was on a abandoned wooden boat. And the boat was being carried by the flow of the river.

Back at the celestial Li clan.

In the clan meeting hall, in front of all the top celestial Li clan powerhouses, the man in the dark clothes dragged the servant woman and threw her in front of them.

By that time, Xing Yu had already gained consciousness. But, due to her energy all drained, she was too weak to stand up and sit.

So, she just lay there breathing weakly.

Among all the elders present, no one said a word. They just looked at Xing Yu with cold eyes.

But, even though they were very angry, none of them dared to come up and hurt the already frail woman.

And there was only one reason why they did so. It was because they were afraid of who was behind her, the most powerful woman in the Azure Sky continent.

Now, they had failed to to eliminate the mortal and they didn't even know where she had send him to.

Looking at the frail Xing Yu, one of the elder who was sitting in the middle said out loudly. "The celestial servant Xing Yu has betrayed the Celestial Li clan and stole a very important treasure from the treasury."

"Due to her crime, she will be punished by locking in the Thousand Lotus Prison until she come back to her senses and admit her wrong doings."

It was an announcement.

"Humph." Then, he released his devastating pressure of will.

Shiewwww....

Already weak, Xing Yu fell back to her unconscious state once again, unable to withstand the pressure.

----

Inside a luxurious mansion, a cold woman with veil, looked out her window. Looking at the direction, where her servant was being announced as a traitor, she gritted her teeth.

Even though she wanted save her, she knew she could not. She had already crossed the line and broke a very serious rule.

If she were to try and intervent once again, not only her servant's life would be in danger, her life would be in danger too.

So, just watching and waiting was the best choice at the moment.

"Xing Yu, just hang in there. I'll save you when the time is right." She muttered to herself, coldly.

----

On thenother side.

Night had already passed and the sun was rising from the east, from behind the hills.

On the abandoned boat, now came to rest after being carried for miles, on the side of the river, just right at the bank.

When the sunlight arrived, the female figure was already gone.

As the sunlight hit Li Shen's face, his bluish teardrop mark changed from bluish color to red color. Not only that, even the teardrop mark seemed to changed.

As the heat continued rising, Li Shen finally felt the hot sunlight. At that instant, he woke up.

However, as he lay there as rhe sunlight continued hitting him, he could not move at all. He was like a tied creature being roast.

Unable to withstand the heat, he tried to channel his moonlight power to cool down. But when he tried to do so, he found out that he could do that.

Right. It's already daytime. What a shitty luck. Li Shen cursed inwardly and complained.

It was like he and his luck was running away from eachother. From the moment he was born, everything was going south for him.

What do I do now? At this rate, I will die before even my enemies kill me. He tried to thunk of way to get away from the shade. But due to his weak body, he could do anything.

Finally, unable to continue laying there, Li Shen cursed out loudly. "F*ck you..." As he do that, he tried to put up his hand and show the middle finger. However, luck was away from him, so he could do that too.

Argh... so frustrating. Unable to do anything, he just lay there.

But, what he didn't know what that, someone heard his shout.

Even though he was cursing, when the sound came out of his mouth, all the surrounding things heard was a baby crying loudly.

Awa...awa...

Tap...tap..

Soon, he heard the sound a someone approaching near him.

Hearing the sound, Li Shen immediately felt alert.

Since he was out at nowhere, his first thought when he heard the sound of something approaching was not human. But rather an animal or his enemy.

However, when he saw the figure of what was approaching to him, he finally got a sigh of relief.

It was a bald man.

"Huh!? A child! Another one!? What is going on today? Two abandoned child at once." The bald man said to himself when he saw Li Shen laying on boat.

There is another abandoned baby besides me? Li Shen couldn't believe that there was someone who was unlucky as him.

"Please, God bless these children." The bald man prayed with his hands clasped together.

Then, he picked up Li Shen from the boat. "Oh.. little one, don't cry. You are save now." He gently said to Li Shen as he picked him up.

Finally. That was Li Shen's final thought before he fell asleep once again. He was already exhausted due to staying out in the sun for long.
