New World's Empress

Actually. Liu Mei was stiff from fear. Seeing such things in movies and the same in real life were two separate things. She could still hear cries and could somehow smell the blood when they were hit.

The more she lived in this world the more she wanted to hide. That house is actually perfect. No one would bother her with such high walls. Maybe it is better if she just continues doing what she does at the moment.

Being a servant was now crossed from her list of possible jobs. It was too dangerous for her. It is not like in the other world where you just get fired and go look for some other job. If you do bad they can hit you or even kill you for your wrongdoings if you are guilty or not. The master decides.

So being a servant became a red flag in her eyes. Maybe she should contact people as less as she can. If she survives the next ten years that person might get her out and give her other options.

Or should she just leave the city altogether? No that is not realistic. It is definitely safer in the city. She sighed as she walked towards the carriage they ordered.

Her small figure slowly got in the carriage and never turned towards them or spoke. As the carriage left the two men looked at the servants that begged for mercy and just entered the household and closed the big doors.

The crowd dissipated and just one man stood in the corner. ''What is it in that yard that made her stand stubbornly for half day in front of their gate?''

He turned his head towards the smaller gate on side of the wall and a small line appeared between his eyebrows. ''Is it really so dangerous? How come we didn't feel anything?''

He saw that there were no people in the streets and with a swift motion he jumped over a tall wall. As he softly jumped down he could see a nice pathway with orchard and a big garden from both sides. ''It is not the garden...''

With the slow pace, he searched through every inch of the house and accept dusty attic he couldn't find even anything strange. ''What could it be?''

As he leaned on the small garden fence strange smell came from the beautiful flowers. This couldn't be, right? He slowly approached the garden and saw one part of earth dug a bit, he got close and realized why Doctor Zhao sent her out and is planning to redo everything here.

These were famous death flowers or copse flowers. Why are they famous? Because the flowers were planted on dead bodies.

Human finger peeked out the dug corner of the earth and it seems it was steer quite a while.

the worst thing is that these flowers grew fast from the human body and in a matter of weeks the bodies would be turned into nothingness even the bones would be gone.

But the people who live in this household would die from the poisonous fragrance and would die in big pain. That woman is lucky that she had a good nose. But the question is now, who are the corpses inside?

Liu Mei didn't care. The shaking of the carriage made her even forget the sight of those servants. Ugh, this world is horrible. How can such a thing be ridden? Her whole body shook from side to side while her bottom was turning into hitting the board itself. Is she punished for something?

Luckily not long after the carriage stopped and the servant put the small stool for her to come down.

If she had to step on someone back she might turn into a crazy person and just jump off the carriage even if that means she would brake leg or two.

The servant walked in advance towards a huge building that looked like a hotel in her past life. the big door opened and on reception two women smiled at her. ''Your room is ready, miss Liu. You can order any food from the list and we will prepare a warm bath. Do you have any other requests.''

Her melodious but calm voice could be heard under the cover. ''That is enough. Prepare the bath while I eat. Bring me something light. I am not feeling comfortable enough to eat heavy foods.''

''As you wish. We will tell our chef about your request. he will send you to set of light dishes as soon they are done to your room. Please rest assured.''

Liu Mei just nodded and hoped to just be alone. At this moment all, she wanted is to be alone. She felt dizzy from all the things that happened to her so far.

With straight back, she went to the second floor and a big room with a huge soft bed, table with some fruits and set for tea, and the big bathtub was all she could see inside. The servant hesitated for a moment but then just bowed and left her standing in mid of room all frozen.

Soon someone knocked a few times and she just sighed. ''Enter...''

Two female servants came in and she slowly took off the hat and showed a pale face and tired eyes.

''We came to bring hot water for the bath. It is our duty to help you take bath as it is kind of hard to get in and out.'' They tried to explain but all she did is to just nod and they started bringing in warm water and pouring it in the big bathtub.

When they finished they stood in front of her and one went to the closet. She took sleeping clothes from inside, obviously completely new and put them on the side of the bed.

Liu Mei was still dazed so she didn't notice anything that is going on until they tried to take her to clothe off her. She snapped out daze and saw their scared expressions. ''Why are you scared?''

Obviously surprised Liu Mei had no idea that her aura changed the moment they tried to touch her. ''It is our duty to help you with bath, please miss. If we don't do our job properly we might get punished.''

Liu Mei froze. After today's experience, she had no wish for anyone else to be punished, so she just let them do what they thought was right.

As she just stood there n.a.k.e.d the girls sized her up and down and smiled brightly. ''If we may say one thing, miss. Your skin is the softest we ever touched. How do you do that?''

''I will give you recipe what you have to drink and eat. Then care about your skin as well. If you follow the steps in about a year your skin might be the same.'' She gladly wanted to give them recipes. In the world, no matter past or current, female beauty was still wanted. Maybe these two had some hopes in life and could find proper husband who would treat them good if their complexion becomes better.

''Thank you miss, thank you. We promise we won't tell anyone else. It will be our secret until the grave.'' The girls took her words straight into their hearts but she didn't mean it that way. She just gave up. If nothing else she could sell such recipes or even open beauty salon. Only females...

That kind of thing she didn't see here. It is any way just for females. Or maybe not. If someone from nobles is not satisfied with her service she might end up beaten or dead.

Better just help people when you can. She sat down into the warm water and relaxed while the two girls slowly washed her. They used essential oils to wash her body and some flowers that floated around her made her feel like she was part of a movie...
