Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)
With such a tone thrown at Han shizi, a nearby guard suddenly raised his long sword and swung it at Lady Nan.
Before Gu Jiao could act, the Black Wind King raised its front hooves and kicked the guard away!
A hint of surprise crossed Han shizi’s eyes.
He looked at the guard who had been kicked away, then at the Black Wind King standing protectively in front of this family, and tightened his grip on his sword.
"Fine, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, considering you saved the Black Wind King. I won’t hold you accountable for today’s events, but Xiao Liulang, the account between us will be settled sooner or later!"
"Let’s go!"
He had his attendants bring a saddle and put it on the Black Wind King.
He had grown up with the Black Wind King since they were young, and even as a child, he had claimed this horse as his own. He was the Black Wind King’s true master!
Han shizi mounted the horse and left Yangliu Alley.
The horse king woke up and found the big black horse missing. It stood confused for three seconds before getting up and searching around.
The horse had an acute sense of smell and detected the big black horse’s scent in the air. It chased after it.
Lady Nan watched its disappearing figure and called out, "Hey, Little Eleven!"
The Black Wind King was faster than ever before.
Han shizi was very pleased, "As expected of the most powerful Black Wind King."
At seventeen, it could run with such power and speed, undeterred by injuries or poison.
The adult Black Wind King sped away, leaving the two-and-a-half-year-old horse king far behind.
The man and horse quickly arrived at the Han Family. Upon hearing that the young master and the Black Wind King had returned, Chu Nan rushed out to greet them.
"Welcome, young master." Chu Nan bowed.
Han shizi patted the agile Black Wind King and said to Chu Nan, "It seems to be faster than before."
Chu Nan smiled, "Really? That’s truly a miracle."
Han shizi squeezed the horse’s belly and said to the Black Wind King, "Alright, it’s time to go in."
The Black Wind King didn’t move.
Han shizi asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
The Black Wind King remained still.
"Is it the wound that's hurting?" Han shizi dismounted and carefully searched for injuries on the Black Wind King.
"Is the Black Wind King hurt?" Chu Nan also came over to look.
To their surprise, the Black Wind King suddenly backed away a few steps.
The two looked at it in confusion, but the Black Wind King simply turned and ran towards the street.
Han shizi was puzzled, "Why is this happening? Why is the Black Wind King leaving?"
Chu Nan, the most experienced horse trainer in Shengdu, gazed deeply at the Black Wind King's departing figure and murmured, "It's heading toward the Xuanyuan Family... it's going to find its true master."
Han shizi shouted furiously, "I am its master!"
Chu Nan did not respond.
Just because you ride it doesn’t make you its master.
You’re merely a childhood companion.
Sending you back was a farewell.
Han Shizi clenched his fists and said, "How many years has it been? Wasn’t it said that it had long forgotten? How old was it when the Xuanyuan Family had trouble? Only two years old!"
Chu Nan replied, "Perhaps it has remembered again, or maybe it never really forgot. It might have been waiting for its master to return all this time. What could have made it stop believing that its master was still on the battlefield?"
The sky was overcast, with thick clouds covering Shengdu, and the heat was stifling.
The Black Wind King raced under the vast expanse of dark clouds.
Lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder.
The carriages and horses in the streets dared not move and sought places to take cover.
The Black Wind King, fearless, galloped on the empty street, with thunder and lightning pursuing it, showing no sign of slowing down.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds had turned the sky to a shade as dark as night, even though it was still afternoon.
The Black Wind King arrived at a mansion sealed with a seal and iron chains.
The seal was already torn, and the parts that couldn’t stick were whipped about by the wind like tongues of fire.
The iron chains were rusted, and the dirty gate had long since accumulated green moss.
The entire sealed and dilapidated mansion was eerily quiet, now a graveyard for wandering souls.
The Black Wind King climbed the steps and reached the gate, attempting to break it open with its head.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Again and again, it collided with the door.
It battered its head until it bled.
Finally, a bolt of lightning tore a rift in the dark sky, and a torrential downpour began.
Large raindrops pounded relentlessly on its body under the fierce wind.
Blood flowed from its forehead, mixing with the cold rain and dripping onto the ground. It seemed oblivious to the pain, making relentless efforts to slam its severely injured head against the gate.
But this gate… would never open again.
"Father! There’s a Black Wind Cavalry horse in critical condition!"
A young man in his twenties rushed into the mansion's backyard, speaking to his father who was training with a red-tasseled spear.
The father asked, "What’s wrong?"
The young man replied, "Difficult labor. It’s dying!"
The father and son went to the stable. The horse had been in labor for two days and nights, exhausting all its strength, and was unable to give birth to the foal.
But they did not give up.
They stayed with the horse throughout the night, never leaving its side, and finally, as the first light of dawn appeared, they welcomed the hard-earned new life.
However, the foal had been trapped in the womb for too long and had very little vitality left.
"Father, it seems like it's about to die."
"Xuanyuan Family’s Black Wind Cavalry horses do not die easily!"
The mare had died during the difficult labor, and this was the foal she had given her life to bring into the world.
The owner of the red-tasseled spear took the foal back to his own quarters and personally cared for it. The tiny creature, once struggling to breathe, gradually grew into a strong little horse.
Every day, the young horse would stand in the backyard, bouncing around while watching the father and son practice with their spears.
"Father, look, it’s grown taller again! It’s growing so fast! I can’t believe it almost didn’t survive back then!"
"Ah Sheng, never underestimate anyone or any horse. You never know, it might grow up to become the Black Wind King."
"Then I’ll take it into battle to fight the enemies!"
"Humph, there are already others in line before it. Can you outpace them?"
It achieved its goal, becoming the Black Wind King and ready for battle, but its master never returned.
None of them returned.

Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
