When she headed out of the room, she ran into Shen Li who was returning to call for her, seeing her come out of the room, he said to her, ” I have warmed the water for you, you can take a bath… leave the clothes out or maybe..” he looked down at the blood-soaked clothes and added, “It’s better for you to just throw them, after all, there is no way you will be able to keep wearing them anymore.”

The stains of blood on clothes hardly ever left and with such deep and big, there was no way she would be able to wash them clean.

” I think so too,” Yu Dong looked down at the stains of blood and sighed, she was too angry and lost control, and now she has ruined a good set of clothing.

Shen Li looked at her regretful expression and said warningly, “It’s fine if you show your powers in front of us, we are your family… after all, we will never make anything difficult for you nor will we treat you with any indifference but if you were to make a move like that in front of others then surely they will try to harm you.”

Yu Dong’s eyes lit up as she looked at him and smiled slyly, ” Are you worrying about me? I thought you were going to avoid me.”

” I am not going to avoid, nor will the others but you better know how to keep track of your temper, not everyone will be as accepting as we are.”

” You are so nice to me, Li,” she stretched her arms to hug Shen Li but the latter simply placed his forefinger on her forehead and pushed her away as he said, ” You better wash up first before you go try hugging me like this, if you get blood on me then I will be really angry.”

” Yes sir,” she saluted him before she headed out of the tree house to clean herself, however, once she left the tree house, her smile dropped and she carefully looked around the surroundings, as far as she knew the stalker who unleashed that snake inside Chen Mi’s house ought to be hiding somewhere. If they wanted to see her kicking Xiao Hua out then they wouldn’t lose such an opportunity, with that thought in her head, she headed back to the spot that was just under Chen Mi’s window and then caught hold of a sickly sweet scent.

Yu Dong’s scent of smell was better than others, thus she was easily able to catch hold of that familiar scent that she has often smelled in the forest. This scent … wasn’t this scent of that wild flower that grew on the side of the mountain? Her eyes flickered slightly as she carefully looked around before she jumped down the platform, even though the scent might have been washed off by now… she should still look around maybe she will find a piece of evidence.

…

” Brother Li, did you know that… wife has some powers like that?” After calming down Chen Mi asked Shen Li, compared to the three of them, Shen Li was the only one who looked a bit too calm.

Shen Li looked up from the floor where he was using a rag to clean the blood before he threw the rag inside the bucket and said, ” I didn’t.”

” Really?” Ye Liu asked sounding a bit sceptical as he looked at Shen Li. ” You didn’t seem surprised at all.”

Though Fang Chi was not cleaning, he was too scared to stay alone, so he stayed in the same standing a bit further away from the rest while avoiding the scent of blood that was making him sick. When he heard Ye Liu and Chen Mi questioning Shen Li, he turned to look at the latter, he too was curious. After all, it could be seen that among the four of them Shen Li was the closest to Yu Dong, she didn’t tell him anything about his powers but it was clear that the three of them were already aware of it.

” Does it matter whether I knew about it or not?” asked back Shen Li calmly as he looked at the three of them. ” She is our wife, the one who helped us when no one did.. she is the one who gave us a home, food to eat and clothes to wear…before she came into our lives do you all think we could have even lived like this?” He smiled mockingly and continued, ” Back then we couldn’t even imagine living like this … she is the one who gave us a loving house and made us realise what being happy means, why does it matter if she is a bit different from us? As long as she means no harm to us, there is no need for you all to think over this matter and in fact, it would be better if you keep this to yourselves. It will be especially troublesome if anyone finds out about Dong Dong’s powers.”

” That goes without saying,” Ye Liu agreed at once with a sulking expression. ” Though I am a bit angry that she hid it from all of us, I will never do something to harm her.”

“Neither will I,” piped Chen Mi as Fang Chi nodded his head. ” In fact, I think she was a bit cool,” he looked at the sleeping little bun and sighed, ” It would have been great if bun bun was born with the same powers as his mother, that way, his wife would have thought twice before bullying him”

Shen Li helplessly looked at Chen Mi and said, ” You should be glad that he was not born with the same powers as Dong Dong, didn’t you see even Dong Dong with her patience and temper lost her control and let loose of her powers, with little bun’s temper, I am afraid that if he inherited those powers then we would be getting complaints from his wife every day.”

” That’s true,” agreed Ye Liu as he chortled. ” You aren’t born with any powers but you already send complaints to your mother every day causing Dong Dong to be on her toes around you…if bun bun had such terrific powers then Dong Dong would have gone bald by the time she got old.”

Fang Chi did not say anything but let out a pfft which was immediately silenced when Chen Mi turned to look at him. ” I was just imagining Dong Dong with a bald head, brother Mi… I wasn’t laughing at you.”
