Flowers of Love
Chapter 2 Completed.
Quietly off the Divine Mountain
"Second Master, just where are you heading?" a deep voice carrying cold and a.s.sertive words caused the sneaky figure in the courtyard to freeze.
Stopping her feet in mid-air, Yin Luo can"t help but inwardly let out a long sigh. Regardless of how careful she has been in every possible way, she"s still caught. Immediately putting on a smile that covered her entire face, she turns her head around. "Uncle Fu, I"m.....taking a casual walk, just a casual walk!"
"A casual walk?" In the corridor, a old man with a head full of white hair who carries a xian-ness with him into his bones, took a look at her and his eyes slightly narrowed, a face full of disagreement. "The Mountain"s gate is just ahead, Second Master should not ca.s.sually walk and accidentally end up walking past the gate!" *The outward properties of a Xian.*
"Uh....he he!" The corner of Yin Luo"s lips twitched.
"Today is one of those once every 100 years, the day that the seven stars meet at the heavenly gate. On this day for the past years, all immortals would gather together at the Jade Pool. The G.o.ds have not intervened in the affairs of the 6 realms already for tens of thousands of years. I hope that 2nd master have not forgotten the Lord Honor"s order."
"Of course, of course!" Yin Luo starts nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice. Anyone can pick up the accusation in Fu Shu"s tone, Yin Luo obviously understood.
"As of now the 6 realms is not completely at peace, her Lord Honor also knows well to not recklessly intervene in order to avoid creating chaos to the order among the 6 realms. You are the 2nd master of the Divine Mountain, so you should be able to understand the reasoning behind this all."
2nd Master? Why doesn"t she feel at all like she is a master here?
"Her Lord Honor is the lord of the six realms, so with daily duties alone she is already extremely busy. The 2nd Master is bright, so you would definitely not need to worry her Master Honor." The elder squints, his words no longer in a tone of condemption, but instead carrying an emphasis of warning.
Yin Luo answers lightly, nodding her head with much effort and avoiding looking at the repulsion on his face. Yin Luo pulls a smile allowing herself a fleeting moment of deliberate joy, bright? Is that a compliment? In the last 100 years, it"s the first time he has given her a compliment by himself, and it"s also not before her Lord Honor"s presence!
Bubbles started to randomly come up inside her heart. Taking a deep breath, she decided to ignore the feeling. She should be happy! Reaching her hand into a bag at her waist that never leaves her side, she took out a piece of preserved honey and stuffed it into her mouth.
Yan Fu couldn"t help but crease his brow. Two that are unquestionably from that same vein, why is the difference this great? Thinking of this, he couldn"t help but let out another sigh, apparently not having any more patience for the person in front of him. "It"s good that 2nd Master is understanding!" After saying that, unwilling to even spare another second, he immediately turns around and walks off. *Uncle Fu"s full name.*
Yin Luo pursed her lips and strode pa.s.s the mountain gate. Inside her heart she is thinking, Lord Master is rather fortunate! To have someone this caring and loyal following her. Yes, it"s great, very great!
A small hand impulsively slips into her bag again, taking out another piece of preserved honey and pushing it into her mouth, letting the flavor slowly spread inside her whole mouth. She"s heard that preserved honey are the sweetest thing, that eatting it would fill you with sweetness. She stuffs a few more into her mouth.
The Jade Pool Party? In past years, she hadn"t had the urge to go, but after hearing that the peaches there aren"t bad, taking a stroll every now and then shouldn"t be too much right? While thinking that, her hand goes to untie the piece of jade on her belt that"s shaped like a gourd. *The Jade Pool Party is a transcendent party that usually is mentioned in dramas and other books. It is a party hosted by w.a.n.g Mu who is usually the queen of the Jade Emperor. This party is where most immortals gather together.*
Single handedly forming a seal, she repeated an incantation several times before the object in her hand let out a dim light, flew out in mid air, and grew into agigantic gourd.
After much effort using both hands and feet, Yin Luo finally climbed onto it. Wiping away the sweat that formed on her forehead, widening her smile, revealing two small tiger teeth. Not bad, this time she only had to repeat the incantation four times to remove the jade gourd"s seal. Compared to last time it"s one less. Progress, there"s progress!
Pulling the red strap on the gourd, it rocks around a bit before rising upward and slowly ascends into the sky. During the entire flight, an entire trip of rocking, it acted like a cradle.
Since the Divine Mountain drifts over the center of the Northern Sea, with vast waters on all four directions, one must either board clouds or fly on swords in order to arrive at or leave it. Unfortunately, her skills are not proficient. Not that she hasn"t learned both methods, but don"t know how to maintain, as in the span she can uphold is not very long. Since the Northern Sea is so vast, to prevent the situation of being forced down to enjoy the underwater senery, it is the better decision to borrow a spellbinded vehicle for transportation. This jade gourd is indeed slower, but it"s safe, at least she can"t fall from it. So, whenever she makes a trip, she"s sure to ride this gourd.
The weather looks like it"s getting close to afternoon. Yin Luo can"t help but sigh again. Continuing on like this, it"s not even sure if she can make to the Jade Pool in time. However, if today her Lord Honor is the one riding this gourd, it wouldn"t even take half of an hour to get there! But of course she wouldn"t require the use of a spellbinded vehicle since a cloud would be even faster.
Thinking about her powers, Yin Luo is completely in admiration. In all of the six realms, there probably isn"t someone who stands close. No question why there is this many people who is willing to come under her wing, even to be able to help her carry errands would be quite an honorable task. On the other hand, on her side, things like xian-skills, it wasn"t that she"s learned anything less, but rather there"s not one thing she"s learned that she was able to pick up on, and it"s not that she hadn"t put effort into it, perhaps the only way to look at this is that talent just didn"t come her way! Even now, this sword riding business is still a strenuous task to her. *Xian skills are like incantations, martial arts, and all that stuff together that produce phenomenal effects.*
"Her Lord Honor is sure impressive!" Yin Luo mumbled to herself, her face to the sky, again taking out a piece of preserved honey and popping it into her mouth. Just while she"s in a trance, suddenly a strong gust of wind swept across and two figures flashed by. In her moment of unstableness, she nearly falls head-down to catch the sea view. With frantic hands and feet, she quickly held onto the red straps of the gourd, barely stablizing her body. Above her head came an c.o.c.ky voice in annoyance.
"I was wondering who this was!" Not far away, afloat in the sky is two figures, one black and one white. In white is a lady. She appears to have a bright personality, but in her eyes there is a hint of scorn.
"So.. Turns out to be the rumored disowned G.o.d!" She smirked, her cold bell-like laughter ringing. "It"s been some time that there"s been such talks that on the Divine Mountain there are two masters, the last of the G.o.ds, yet even between sisters the difference is great. The elder sister"s powers uncompariable among the 6 realms and the younger sister being rather clumsy. I thought it was just casual talk..." while speaking, she takes a glance at her gourd, eyes slightly squinting, and continues smiling rather mischievously, "If I haven"t seen the mark of the G.o.ds on your forehead, I"d really think I had saw wrong, so...one can actually be this clumsy! No wonder everyone refers to you as the disowned G.o.d.""
Yin Luo rubbed her nose, stablizing her heartbeat that was just scared into disorder, but not showing a hint of anger. Instead, she raises her head and gives them a smile. A disowned G.o.d! She thought with cheer. A G.o.d that"s been abandoned. This is actually a phrase she frequently hears!
"Excuse me, but would the two of you happen to be the immediate disciples of the immortal Yu-chi?
Seeing that she is not angry, but instead is smiling, the white robed lady had a slight moment of speechlessness. Hearing her asking, she lifts her head high again, and answers with a scoff "and so what if we are?"
"So I really guessed right, it"s honor to meet you, truly an honor!" Yin Luo mannerly made a gesture to greet them. "I"ve heard of the immortal Yu-chi"s great name for some time. In our realms there has always been few female immortals and I hear that the imortal Yu-chi is a prominent figure in the midst, with her profound enlightment that not many can rival. Below her there is only two immediate disciples. Yuan Fu Qi, Lee Pei Bai! I"ve heard that the two have shown exceptional pace, in just a span of a hundred years and to have already reached soaring measures, truly rare talents. I a.s.sume that you must be the two?"
Hearing a compliment like this from her, Yuan Fu Qi starts to look at her in a slightly more pleasing light, "At least you have good eyes, too bad...." casting her eyes on the forehead of the person before her and sneers.
Yin Luo rubbed her nose again and reached up to touch the faint mark on her forehead, consequentally not catching onto the later half of her words. "You"re too generous with your praise! Your great names have reached my ears for some time already. Today I have definitely witnessed an excellent display of xian character! The two of you were able to observe the mark on my forehead with just one glance proves that those comments are not false. Very admirable, truly admirable!" She gestured again, trying hard to express her good intentions.
The way Yuan Fu Ci looks at her now, there is no longer scorn in them, but that look of contempt expressed through her lightly furrowed brows still remained. She scoffs again, also knowing that it would not be good to continue making things difficult for her. Her original intention was to embarra.s.s her, but in the end turns out she aimed at a soft persimmon. There was no fun in it. With her interest fading, she pursed her lips and immediately goes to tugging the black robed man besides her, "Shi Xiong, let"s go!" *Addressing a male student who came under your teacher before you.*
Lee Pei Bai glances down at the hand on his arm, his brows tightened, and retrieved his arm without a warning. Staring in the direction of the gourd, at Yin Luo who still continues nodding, the expression in his eyes deepens in thought. A disowned G.o.d? This girl, whom even him with one glance can see that her powers are weak, and possibly not even comparable to that of a lowly xian? Yet she is a G.o.d?
He tightens his brows more before turning around and flying off.
"Shi Xiong!" Seeing that he wasn"t going to wait for her, Yuan Fu-chi angrily stomps a foot and immediately chases after him. Before leaving, she still manages to roll her eyes at Yin Luo.
Yin Luo patted her nose several times. Look at all the dust on her nose. She moves her hand again into her bag for the preserved honeys and popped them into her mouth. Staring at the two fast fading figures, while chewing and murmuring to herself.
"This Yuan Fu-chi is a beautiful woman. Even....when a beautiful woman rolls her eyes she still looks good." She pinched her own child-like face, and laughingly muttering to herself "Just whose family"s child is this who hadn"t grown up? Just why did I get a face like this?" If only she was 1% of what her Lord Honor was, than she could probably be proud for a while also! Giving another two pinches, she shakes her head and sighs.
Thinking of this Yuan Fu-chi, a kind of xian-zi that she"s seen a lot of, one who regard themselves highly, would of course not see her as someone worthy of their company. To not bring up any conflicts would be best. As the saying goes, no one will raise their hand to hit a smiling face. If you do feet-kissing often, you will become good at it. It is those few lines being rephrased anyways. *While Xian is like human can be used to refer to female or male, but Xian Zi is directed towards females only, just sounds nicer.*
Aye~! Who told her to not master the skills? Inproficiency, improficiency eh, maybe she should consider changing a teacher. That is if said person does not personally kick her to feed the fishes.
Suddenly thinking of something, she turns around to open the bag on her that holds the preserved honeys. In a hurry she rummage through it in search for something, every now and than a few pieces of preserved honey falls out. After awhile, happily, she brings out a jade pendant. That piece of jade is wholesomely pure jade, it"s whole body glowing a faint white glow, one look and can tell that it"s a object of celestial orgin.
She hastily tied it around her neck, properly tied it good. Once the jade is near her body, the light mark on her forehead can be seen gradually disappearing. She let out a long sigh. Getting around like this should be more convenient. Her only objective was to get peaches so occurances like what just happened is better left avoided.
The Jade Pool is close, and not too far away, the vast sea ends, cutting off as if by a knife. On this side water is still very flowing abundantly, yet on the other side it is the endless abyss; endless darkness where no sunlight can enter in. It"s been said that throughout the years there is dark energy there. Neither xian nor mo whom have entered has ever survived. It is the only forbidden land to the six realms. *Just a reminder, while Xian is good, Mo is their polar opposite from the bad side."
Just floating above in the center of the endless abss is the Jade Pool Xian Mountains, with five rays of colorful light surrounding it, exudes a soft distinctive elegance of Xian-ness. Legend has it that this mountain was here since the opening of heaven and splitting of earth. A spiritual mountain that was formed by the combined forces of the surrounding life energies. So, only it alone is able to float above the endless abyss.
Yin Luo recollects her state of mind, urging the gourd under her feet to move forward. Once she started an incantation she immediately felt something is amiss. The gourd is not steady like it usually is and has started shaking violently. She thought that it was only temporarily, but realizes that the gourd was also slowly shrinking.
She can"t be this unlucky, can she? As a burst of panic shot into her heart, she doesn"t hesitate and immediately starts silently reciting some incantions, but it appears that the gourd just won"t listen to her and continues systematically shrinking. In a short span of time it has already become too small to support her weight.
Too late, Yin Luo heart gave a sad cry, it seems like today she won"t be able to escape the fate of enjoying the sea views. A jolt from below followed by a swoosh and she plunges straight down. Aish! All due to her learning skills not being proficient.
While preparing to descend into the sea for a baptism, her eyes quickly fluttered closed, although she was previously ready to accept this fate, she has suddenly went into a mental and physical trauma, how can she forget, below here....just below here, is the endless abyss!
Help! A human needs saving....no, a G.o.d needs saving!
The sound of the loud howling wind pa.s.ses by the ears. The body continues to fall down in a straight line. Even though knowing that it wouldn"t be likely of her to lose her life, she still can"t help but be fl.u.s.tered, and being in this state of panic causes her to completely forget those few already inproficiently learned incantations.She closes her eyes on reflex, awaiting to be immersed into that darkness.
Until a faint fragrance enters her nose, bringing with it a scent that was in some ways familiar, she opened her eyes with uncertainty.
A spread of white quietly drifts down with the sound of a crane"s cries, a few peach blossom petals, and that faint fragrance in the air. White robe rivaling snow, just a quick movement of his hand, and he has has already stopped her fall. Like a floating cloud drifting towards that white figure, in an eye blink of an eye, has already fallen into his arms. A perfect catch.
"Miss, are you alright?" A sound like running spring water, a faint glowing radiance that surrounded his entire figure, flowing, accompanies some stray peach blossom petals drifting down to take rest on his shoulder. A pure as snow xian-robe seems like moonlight, gentle and elegant. *I a.s.sume that xian robes are a uniformed robe that is worn by all Xian, kind of like how all monks where a similar robe. The use of the word xian with these robe also hint that they might be magical robes, and the whiteness of the robe is also dependent on it"s wearer.*
This spectacular handsomeness, as if born to be a tribulation to all women, every gesture is a form of unrivalable elegance. It"s as if just silently standing there is also a scenery to behold.
Time at that moment stopped, left in vision is only that of this virteous and not-of-this-world figure. The only sound is from that continually racing heart, padam padam, painfully shaking the ear drums. So, G.o.ds also have a heartbeat.
Looking at that face, she suddenly became envious of those petals resting on his shoulders.
In all six realms, there"s a person like this? She searched in her centurys of memories, and still no impression.
Woodenly, foolishly, and in a daze, it"s like no matter how long, she just can"t get tired of staring.
Until that voice reminincing spring water came once again. "Miss, no need to be afraid. Although this is the Endless Abyss, as long as you don"t fall into it, the negative energy cannot hurt anyone." While speaking, he bends down to put down the person in his arms, letting her stand on the patch of cloud that he has solidified. He extends a faint smile that suddenly, like the glare of a white light, renders the beholder unable to open their eyes.
Yin Luo"s immediate response was to raise her hand to block, but seeing a look of doubt pa.s.s onto his face, forces her hand down. Realizing their exceptionally intimate posture, her face blushes and she brings her head down. "Thank you!"
He smiled at her. It"s just that a smile to her had always been a signal of danger, so her feet involuntarily took a step backwards. Oh trouble, it"s dangerous! And this inescapable smile is not something she can endure.
"It was just a little task only, no needing to be thanked." The man civilly replied, and with a wave of his hand can see from below a light flying upward, he easily caught it in his hand, and handed it over to Yin Luo. "Does this spellbinded instrument belong to you Miss?"
Yin Luo lowered her head and took a look. It was that disobedient jade gourd of hers, she nodded her head "Yes!"
"The Purple Jade Gourd, is indeed a rarely seen spirited object!" The man complimented, "This instrument is quite loyal, only recognizing one master, Miss is fortunate to have the privilige. It"s definitely something to be cherish, make sure not to lose it again."
"Hehe..." Yin Luo could only give a wry smile, she definitely hasn"t encountered the so-called spirit of this stinking gourd, "I had just fallen from ontop of it!"
The man looked surprised, and looked back at the jade gourd in his hand, his brows tightened slightly and said "Perhaps Miss has used the "Spirit Incantation" on it before?"
Spirit Incantation? Yin Luo shook her head, her learning to master the skills to drive it has already inflated her head into the size of two, how is she to know this Spirit Incantation?
"The Spirit Incantation is a spirit-bestowing spell, but this Purple Jade Gourd is already spirited object. To use such spell on it would cause it to counteract. So it"s return into a normal jade state is likely the result of using such incantation. Miss, are you sure you have not used such incantation?"
Yin Luo suddenly recalls that beautiful lady that rolls her eyes very nicely, and now finally understands the true meaning behind that look. It seems she is still quite foolish. She spreads a smile on, taking the jade gourd from his hand, "Perhaps I"ve used it before and have just briefly forgotten, thank you!" She thinks of something and continued to ask, "May I ask, this jade gourd does it mean I cannot use it anymore?"
"Don"t worry, with such a spirit as it, in two hour"s time it should be back to normal!"
"Oh!" Can do without worry than, this gourd is her only flying instrument, if it"s destroyed, than it"s really too bad. But, two hours....
She turns her head to look at the Jade Pool still at a distance. Does she want to swim there?
"Is Miss trying to make it to the Jade Pool Party?" The man took a glance at her, an expression showing understanding, "I can escort you there."
Escort? He wants to escort her? Yin Luo is slightly dazed. That wall in her heart, on natural impulse stands up. She spontanously asks "Do you have something that you cannot resolve?" If there is, she would try her best.
"Cannot resolve?" He is confused, and slightly uncertain, "What do you mean?"
"Isn"t that it? If not, than it must be that there"s someone you want to meet!"
"Someone I want to meet?" Falling into a more deeper state of confusion, but when he wanted to ask and clarify, suddenly several crane cries came through not far away were some xian cranes flying around, as if rushing something. He took a glance in that direction, brows slightly furrowing, "There are some urgent things that I need to attend to first, I will send Miss over to the Jade Pool with a cloud parting spell. I"m unable to escort you there personally, please take care!" *Cranes raised by a Xian.*
"Thanks....thank you!" Yin Luo hurriedly gave her thanks.
The man lightly moved the corner of his lips. Even though it was only a polite smile, but still enough to cover the brilliance of the sun and moon. Around him, a shower of flower petals seems to be falling again. While watching, Yin Luo"s vision became blanketed with a peachy red veil.
He lightly waved his hand, white robe flapping, like clouds pa.s.sing before one"s eyes. The patch of cloud below his feet suddenly split in half. Half staying where in it"s original place, while the other half accompanied her and continued floating towards the Jade Pool not far in the distance.
That man"s pure white figure that does not catch even a dust particle on him, gradually distanced. Yin Luo has only just abruptly awakened, and in her slow response she shouted, "I...I"m called Yin Luo! I"m Yin Luo!"
She tightly clenched onto the side of her robe, only looking at his face, holding in her breath, and waiting for his response, waiting for his face to surface an expression that would be similar to that of others, maybe a look of disgust or disdain, or even a look of scheming calculation. She is Yin Luo, Yin Luo from the Divine Mountain, the disowned G.o.d Yin Luo.
None, nothing, the man"s expression is still the same. He brought his hands in the air with, his right fist against his left hand and politely replied, "I am Bai Zhu!" His lips lifted into a smile, a faint smile like flowers. Yin Luo seems to have seen it again, those ever dancing peach blossom petals and everything in her eyes became peachy red. *Bai Zhu means white bamboo.*
It was until standing below a Peach Blossom tree at the Jade Pool does Yin Luo finally seem to have found her breathing back. She gradually bends her head down to look below her feet, those clouds were already gone, yet she can still feel the warmth there.
Bai Zhu? His name is Bai Zhu. Among the Xian realm, those with surname of Bai is only a few, and she has never heard anyone speak of the name Bai Zhu. Probably someone who has only just became a Xian. He also doesn"t board a sword. Most from the sects usually travel on sword, with only a few who haven"t mastered it would ride clouds. Is he so?
Does he not know her, or... does he not dislike her?
So rare....rarely that there"d be someone who doesn"t dislike her. Than could she very little....be a little hopeful, only a litte hopeful. Hope that in this world there is someone...that there is someone that would treat her sincerely.
Just because she fell down, so he saved her, and not because any other purpose, and especially not because of the person behind her.
To save her, is only...because the person he saved is her.
But, would it be like that?
Almost immediately, she destroyed that thought. In all six realms, those who are willing to get close to her, they all have one same thought, hoping that through her they can see the person behind her.
Suddenly she thought of that good-natured lowly Xian from one hundred years ago who would touch his shiny white beard, a face full of good intentions, of that time when he told her that he was willing to follow her. She was also like right now, with flowers ever blooming in her heart. No matter what way she looked, the world was such a beautiful place. One hundred years to a G.o.d or Xian is really not much, the flowers in her heart would just be ever blooming and blooming. In a blink of an eye, that person has already become a guest under her Lord Honor"s door. It"s already impossible to find traces of those once compa.s.sionate brows and kind eyes. Nowdays she even has to acknowledge him as Uncle Fu.
Finally back to her senses, oh...so she"s really only just an exceptionally fine stepping board.
In the future, she will work harder on this stepping board mentality, adapting to that stepping board fate!
Touching the jade pendant around her neck, she"s already tried very hard to emphasise her name. He still does not have any response. Is it really that he doesn"t know the meaning behind this name, or is it.....that this stepping board has enough value that he is willing to conceal his true thoughts and feelings?
Of course, she would not be conjouring up other unrealistic day dreams. That type of person who"s not even stained by a speck of dust, even if right now is only a small Xian, his future is not to be limited. She better just watch from afar, and just drool. As for other thoughts, even if there are, she will have to strangle them while they are still sprouts.
Yin Luo subtly nodded her head, habitally reaching out for the perserved honeys and popping them into her mouth. The sound of chewing continues, as if trying to prove that those preserved honey pieces are indeed sweet. Staring in that direction where her doubts had been, the peachy red reflection in her eyes faded quite a bit.
"Teacher, Teacher,...Teacher!" In the peach forest, someone rushes by with urgency, carrying it in his tone. Seeing Yin Luo standing there dumbly, he pulls her by the shoulders, and vigorous shakes her,
"Seen my teacher, where"s my teacher? Where is he?"
Yin Luo was surprised for a moment, looking at the impatient youth before her and immediately, very politely shook her head.
"How could it be? I for sure sensed his energy here, how can I not find it here?" He finally let go of Yin Luo, charging forward ahead left and right to search, looking and hollaring at the same time. For a long time and still not finding it, he came back, "You really haven"t seen my teacher? My Teacher, you really haven"t seen him? Honestly haven"t seen him? For sure haven"t seen him?"
"Uh...." Her lips twitching, Yin Luo trying hard to keep the smile on her face, must be kind, must be friendly, "Right here, one can easily see everything with just a glance, does it look like there is anyone? Besides, I don"t know your teacher!"
"What?" The youth is surprised, and after a loud outcry he shoot backwards a half step, starring at her in disbelief, "You. You. You. You actually don"t know my teacher?"
Not knowing his teacher, is it that strange? "Honestly, don"t know!"
"Hey, it"s my teacher! My Teacher Mu Zi Xin, Zi Xin of Bai Mu!" He widen his eyes, staring at her in a way as if she did something abominable. "You really don"t know him? Seriously don"t know him? Certainly don"t know him?"
"Uh...." The corner of her mouth still twitching, Yin Luo wiped the sweat on her forehead and nodded.
The youth"s face carried disbelief, and observed her, as if trying to figure out something from her face. After staring at her for some time, he slightly squinted an eye and asked in a low volume, "Which small remote place did you bounce out from?"
Yin Luo"s smile froze on her face, saying repeatedly in her heart, must stay kind, must be friendly.
A long while after he seemed to have given up, his face caving in like an entire mountain collasping, he turns around and drops to the ground crouching and starts wailing, "Teacher, you you you...how could you stand me up again, your disciple has put in so much efforts to make it to the Jade Pool, and you actually leave without even a sound. Could care less if it had only been one two times, but it already hasn"t been under a hundred times already, how could you be like this, how can it be like this....Your disciple has always been utmost loyal and properly serving his filial duties, never daring to go against what you say. Where can you find such a good disciple, how can you bare to stand me up again, Teacher....."
Yin Luo"s head fills with black lines again. Taking a glance at the ranting person besides her, must she stay here to listen to his complaining? Taking a step backward, another step, to a safe distance. Just when she"s about to turn around, the person who was supposely drowning in his own sorrows suddenly stands up, and grasp her hand.
"Where you going?" His voice hiding his once miserable state, very loud. Taking another look at that face, it"s quite miraculous, there"s not even the presence of dew on his face. Just then...was he really crying?
"Jade....Jade..." Perhaps it"s been too long since she"s come out. Contradicting expressions for emotions have become popular.
"The Jade Pool?" Furrowing his brows, he took at look at her from up to down, "You"re also here to attend the Jade Pool Party?
"Uh, Uh,.."
"Even a small Xian like you is attending? Which sect do you come from?"
"I currently don"t belong to a sect yet!"
"Than you"re from the Free Xian Net!" He pursed his lips, and pat her on the shoulder, looking righteous and sure, "Just by looking, I can already tell that it"s your first time attending a Xian gathering, right? Xians like you, detached and scattered, will not get noticed in such a big scale event!"
"No...."
"It"s alright, since we"ve meet, than it"s affinity. In the future I"ll watch over you! Let"s go, let"s go! You come with me!"
"But...." Yin Luo points at a narrow pa.s.sway.
"But, what but?" The youth interrupting again. "Just one look and I can tell that you"re a novice, don"t know anything. The party is this way!" He adds separately, while walking out of the forest, not forgetting to drag Yin Luo along.
"That way...."
"Quickly let"s go! The party is already half way through!"
Yin Luo didn"t even have enough time to reply and was already dragged out of the forest, glancing at that distancing narrow way, and taking a glance at this rightously stern youth. She actually wanted to just say...that there was a shortcut.
Having thoughts to break free and take that road, but he held on very tightly, it"s impossible to retreive her hand. Aish! It"s because she had no skills, no skills.
"Yah, I am Gu Chian Fan, what"s your name?"
"Yin...."
"Yin? Nevermind, let"s just call you Xiao Yin!" *An friendly addressing, taking one"s surname and putting a little in front of it. Hinting you"re younger than me.*
"I..."
"You have to follow closely. If you will get lost or hurt, I won"t be helping!"
"But..."
"No worries, as long as I"m here, no one dares touch you!"
"……"
--------------------------------------Chapter 2 Completed.
The next few chapters seem shorter. I"ve already have Chapter 3 done and working on Chapter 4. Just to give an idea, there"s a total of 84 chapters to this story. It"s not really long, the length is only between Tong Hua"s Da Mo Yao and Yun Zhong Ge.
I really hope to finish this within 4 months. IF my summer school schedule allows me. Luckily that"s not until July. =)
I"ve been dedicating an icon to each chapter. Those who noticed, the lady on the icon for Chapter 1 is Tang Yan from her upcoming Xuan Yuan Sword. I think she"s just perfect as the G.o.ddess Chi Ji. Towards the end, feel free to share who you see in these characters. The lady on the icon for Chapter 2 is Jin Sha from Myth, the drama. If you"ve checked out all our icons, you"ll know that Wallace Huo, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, and Yang Mi are also making appearances. I know that those who watch these actor/actresses will probably start pondering whether it"ll be Wallace and Tang Yan, Tang Yan and Hu Ge, Hu Ge and Jin Sha, Hu Ge and Yang Mi, or Yang Mi and Yuan Hong. I"ll tell you STOP, don"t go down that road because I picked these actor/actresses based on how well I thought they"re suitable, not because I ship who and who. If that"s how I"m doing things than Liu Shi Shi will be in this and you can ship her with Yuan Hong all the way. ^^
ALSO, for chapter 3 onward, I will stop coloring the word Xian, Yao, and Mo in red. I think we all probably get what that is already. For those who still need a little memorizing:
There are 6 realms in this story: G.o.ds, Xian, Humans, Yao, Mo, and Ghosts. Only 5 is really mentioned.
G.o.ds are G.o.ds. They are born as G.o.ds.
Xians are immortals who were once Humans or Yao who have gained enlightenment.
Humans are humans. They are very middle, they can either be very normal humans, or want to attain enlightenment for immortality or become immortal by entering the Mo realm.
Yao are more a.s.sociated with the negative side, but there are some who have abandoned their evil nature and want to walk in the road to enlightenment. They like Xian, G.o.d, and Mo are also long living immortals.
Mo are those who have truly crossed into the evil side. They can be born as Mo or were once humans or yao.
Hope this helps.
