Shadows in the Dark
Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa refused to miss the midnight massacre. With blades glowing in hues of blue and green, the flashes of their swords shimmered beautifully in the darkness — beautiful, yet deadly.The screams of dying soldiers soon faded into silence. None of the dozens of imperial guards survived; all of them lay lifeless within mere minutes.Wang Dong stood frozen, mesmerized by the skill of the two young warriors accompanying Princess Mei Hwa. His years as a commander told him that these three — Mei Hwa, Zhao Wen, and Fang Yun — possessed enough strength to reclaim the Yuan Empire. Even though they were vastly outnumbered, he could sense that each of them alone was worth thousands of soldiers.“Pile their bodies together and gather their weapons. We’ll need them later,” ordered Fang Yun.The three men worked swiftly, stacking the fallen soldiers into a single mound.“Stand back!” Fang Yun leapt onto the pile of corpses and pressed his palms together.A wave of intense heat began r
Caught
After waiting until midnight, they finally decided to move closer to the shoreline. The darkness of the night gave them freedom to move without fear of being detected by the imperial guards of the Yuan Empire, who often patrolled the coast to ensure security.Once they were about fifty meters from the beach, they lowered a small boat to row toward the mainland.Before getting off, Mei Hwa gave instructions to one of the soldiers to return three weeks later and retrieve the treasures they planned to use to fund the upcoming war. Those treasures, she explained, would be taken from the houses of Yuan imperial officials suspected of being disloyal to Prince Xiao Yu.Wang Dong, whom Mei Hwa had asked to join this mission, was assigned an important role — acting as the liaison between the three of them and the two people they were going to meet. He would also be the one to deliver any intelligence they obtained directly to Prince Xiao Yu’s camp.When the small boat touched the sandy shore,
Mei Hwa’s Oath
“Your Highness, I’ve already ordered Lin Fan to release the hostages. When do you plan to depart for the mainland?”“How long will the journey take from this island, Uncle?” Mei Hwa asked in return.“If the weather remains calm, it should take no more than five days, Your Highness,” replied Xun Zhao.“In that case, we’ll depart tonight. Once you’ve escorted us, have the soldiers return immediately. The three of us can be found later at Master Fang Yun’s residence.”“Very well, Your Highness. I’ll have Wang Dong and his men take you there.”After finalizing their plans, the three of them rested until evening fell.That night, the full moon shone brilliantly over the calm sea. A small vessel carrying eight people glided quietly away from the isolated island.“Your Highness, wouldn’t it be wiser if we waited here until you and the young warrior return?” asked Wang Dong.“You’ll come with us,” Mei Hwa replied firmly. “As for your four men, have them return to the island. It’s too dangerou
Reason for Becoming a Pirate
The man remained silent, unable to answer Mei Hwa’s question. His mind was clouded with overwhelming fear.“If I hadn’t considered the safety of the other passengers,” Mei Hwa said coldly, her tone laced with disdain, “you and your men would have already been slaughtered. Killing all of you would’ve been as easy as turning my hand!”With graceful but deadly precision, Mei Hwa drew her sword and aimed its sharp edge at Lin Fan’s throat. “You’ll receive your punishment for daring to disrespect a woman.”In one swift motion, her blade sliced through the air. Lin Fan’s left ear was severed cleanly and fell to the floor. He screamed in agony, clutching the bleeding side of his head.“Stop screaming!” Mei Hwa snapped. “You’re a man, not a coward. You’ve committed a grave mistake and must face the consequences!”Lin Fan immediately bit back his cries. He hadn’t expected such a brutal punishment. From all he’d heard, Princess Mei Hwa was supposed to be gentle and soft-hearted.Xun Zhao stood
Explanation about Xun Zhao
When the earlier explosion happened, Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa were startled by the sound. Yet they were fairly certain that Fang Yun would be all right when facing such a force. Both of them had, on many previous occasions, witnessed blasts caused by energy collisions far greater than that one.Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa resumed fighting the pirate members without waiting for the thick dust and smoke that shrouded Fang Yun’s body to clear.“You’re mistaken, warrior! We are not what you—” the old man’s words cut off as another scream of death erupted from his men.He turned his gaze toward Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa, who were battling his followers. The frown on his forehead deepened as he narrowed his eyes to get a better look.“The Princess?” he thought.Not believing what he was seeing, the old man surged forward toward Mei Hwa, who was still fighting.“Stop…!” he suddenly shouted, channeling his inner power so that the area around him trembled lightly.The fight halted instantly. Every eye turned
The Battle
The arrival of Fang Yun together with Mei Hwa — who, it turned out, was a martial artist as well — stunned the five merchants from the Chinese mainland who had been locked in the room. The other captives were equally shocked. Now their slim hope of survival had opened up, though it remained fragile — given that the number of pirates on the island reached into the tens of thousands. “Everyone stay inside. After we get out of this room, close the door tightly and hold it shut so no one can get in.” Fang Yun spoke to the five merchants she knew, instructing them to pass the message to the others. After taking a deep breath, Fang Yun approached the door fastened with heavy iron chains. With black flames issuing from his hands, Fang Yun melted the chains easily and quickly. Then the three of them stepped out of the room. Those still inside hurried to shut the door and brace it from the inside with whatever they could find.<
