Sima You Yue went back to Youthful Palace while Hai Xing helped Hai Mian to clean her wounds.

Hai Mian's body was so full of injuries that Hai Xing cried while cleaning her wounds. When Sima You Yue came back, she looked at her with reddened eyes like a child. It had been a while since Sima You Yue had seen her like this.

She walked over to check on Hai Mian's condition as she knew that Hai Xing had already given her pills. The only thing they could do now was to clean her superficial wounds. However, Xi Yu didn't know anything about medicines and Hai Xing's hand kept trembling, so she didn't have any strength. She sighed and reached out to Hai Xing's hand and took the scissors from her.

"Let me, you may leave." She ordered as she turned around to cut Hai Mian's clothes.

"We'll go and prepare some warm water." Xi Yu responded and went out with Leng Yun.

Hai Xing hesitated, but she stayed and watched quietly by the side. Sima You Yue didn't mind her since Hai Xing was not affected.

After cutting up Hai Mian's clothes, all the wounds on her body could be seen clearly.

As she was going to apply the medication after cleaning her wound, she noticed something odd. Hai Xing who could read her knew what was happening when she saw her hesitation.

"Master, did Little Aunt…."

"No, it's nothing much, I just find these wounds a little odd." Sima You Yue pointed to two of the wounds, "Look at these two wounds here, the marks are already faded but I can tell that this was made by herself."

"Little Aunt hurt herself? Why?"

Sima You Yue checked Hai Mian's private area and the conclusion allowed her to sigh with relief.

"She is still a virgin." She told Hai Xing, "She did this to herself so those disgusting men wouldn't touch her. Moreover, her power is not strong yet even if she doubled her cultivation, which is why she was able to…"

If she didn't do this, she couldn't come up with any reasons that she would be able to protect her virginity.

"Little Aunt…." Hai Xing looked at Hai Mian with heartache. She was sad for her but rejoiced as well.

If she didn't follow her Master, she would end up like her Little Aunt and would have to protect herself the same way she did. This was only temporary, once she had power, even disfiguring herself couldn't stop her desire for power.

It was fortunate that Little Aunt met Master at this time. In the future, she would be able to cultivate without any worries, and not be tied down by the desire for power while being afraid that their power would grow at the same time.

Xi Yu came with warm water, Sima You Yue poured some medicine in it and dipped the towel into the water as she carefully cleaned Hai Mian's body.

"Young Princess, leave it to me." Xi Yu wanted to replace her as she felt that Sima You Yue's identity made it a little inappropriate for her to help Hai Mian.

"Hai Mian's body is full of injuries. You are not confident in dealing with the injuries and she will be in pain if you touch her wound." She would have let Xi Yu do it if she didn't notice the scars, but now she felt sorry as she was almost the same age as Hai Xing.

Hai Mian was wrapped like a mummy after cleaning and bandaging the wounds as she opened her eyes in a daze. She couldn't see who was before her eyes but she could see the gentleness from her face, it was so warm and gentle that she couldn't help but teared, she cried out weakly, "Mother…."

Sima You Yue paused, then continued to tie the last knot. She wanted to say that she didn't have any daughters but seeing Hai Mian's eyes, she swallowed her words as it became a soft and gentle comfort, "Don't worry, go to sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up."

Maybe her voice was too gentle or maybe it was that her existence gave a sense of security to others, as Hai Mian slowly fell asleep after listening to her voice.

Hai Mian had a dream. She dreamt of seeing her Mother again. The dream was more vivid than the last time. She dreamt about her clan members the other time. There was only sorrow in the dream, but this time she felt safe as if the past didn't happen. She hadn't experienced so much before her clan was destroyed. However, her Mother's face slowly became a stranger's face. She didn't recognise this person, but she was gentle and that pair of pupils was identical to her Mother's. So much so, that she couldn't tell if she dreamt of her own Mother or dreamt of this stranger.

She tried hard to take a good look at this person, but her vision became blurry. She extended her hand as she wanted to grab her but her hands were grabbed.

She heard an anxious cry. Someone was calling her Little Aunt. Who would call her Little Aunt? She must be hallucinating! Hence, this was when she woke up from her dream .

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a pair of worried eyes.

"Little Aunt, don't be afraid, I'm here." Hai Xing grabbed her hand as she comforted her.

Little Aunt? The voice and appellation was the same as the one in the dream.

"You are…. Hai Xing?" Hai Mian looked at Hai Xing with hesitation. Even though Hai Xing had grown, she could vaguely tell it was her from the last time she saw her. However, she was afraid to acknowledge her after separating for so many years.

"Little Aunt, it's me." Hai Xing smiled with tears, "It's alright, it's good that you're awake. It's good that you're awake."

"Where is this place? Why am I here?" Hai Mian slowly recalled what happened. She remembered that she was being tortured by Yu Hao and sat up while grabbing Hai Xing's arm and said, "Were you captured too? Did they do anything to you?"

"Little Aunt, don't worry, this is Master's palace, it's not Yu Hao's place. You're already out of that place, I'm fine as well." Hai Xing grasped her hand tightly and comforted her.

"Master's Palace? Hai Xing, are you already…?"

"No, I'm fine!" Hai Xing said.

"How could that be?!" Hai Mian didn't believe her. If she didn't give in, how did she manage to wear such bright and beautiful clothes and save her life. "Palace? Have you been captured into the Palace as well? Which Prince captured you here?"

"Little Aunt, this is Young Princess' Palace, not the Prince's. My Master is a Young Princess, not a Prince." Hai Xing continued, "Hai Xi is here too, we're all fine."

"A real Princess?" Hai Mian still didn't believe it.

"Yes, a real Princess. You even grabbed Master's arm and called her Mother." Hai Xing said as she smiled.

Hai Mian's mind blanked when she remembered that gentle face she saw.

It was that women?

"What exactly happened to you? I remembered you were being auctioned, why are you here?"

"Don't be anxious, hear me out…"

Hai Xing told her about how they met Sima You Yue and Hai Mian was relieved after knowing that Sima You Yue really treated them well.

They were living in better conditions than she was!

"Little Aunt, Master said if you're willing to stay with us, we will try our best to cultivate and destroy the ones who destroyed our clan!"
