Primordial birth

Chapter 4- problems

He was fatigued after refining energy till 3 a.m. and slept until 8 a.m. after waking up, his body was more lively than before.

After half an hour, the door to his room was opened, and two elderly people and a beautiful woman entered; they were Ying Yue and her adoptive parents. Bao greeted them both. And look at Yue; when she arrived in a rush yesterday, she was a little sweaty and her hair was messed up, but seeing her today was like meeting a different person.

Her hair was midnight-black that flowed over her shoulders, and she had honey-sweet lips that looked blossom soft. Her bosom was well-shaped for her age, and her eyes were blue, reflecting the deep ocean scenery.

Despite the fact that she was dressed formally, She had a sculpted figure, like the last single beam of light from the sunset illuminating the endless ocean's surface. She was a painted masterpiece. Even a fairy from the immortal world couldn't compete with her beauty in Bao's eyes.

Her cheeks flushed red after being stared at for a long time by Bao.

"How are you now feeling? Is there someplace on your body that you still feel uneasy?" asks Yue's adoptive father

"I feel better today, uncle Luo; it's because of all of you blessing me that I'm living again,"

"When did you start becoming good with words?" he joked.

They all began to giggle somewhat since, in the past, Bao had always been a silent or serious guy who didn't joke much.

Yue's adoptive father's name was Chen Luo, and his mother's name was Makoto Sumi. They were both from separate nations. When Yue's adoptive father Chen Luo was still a young man with aspirations and ambitions, he met sumi at a university, and she came into his life supporting his objectives and always believing in him.

They gradually grew in love with each other, and after several years of dating, Chen Luo summoned the courage to propose marriage to her; she accepted his proposal, and they married. 

After returning to his native country, he intended to achieve his ambition of establishing the largest hospital in his nation; at the time, there were few hospitals that could give all forms of care.

At the start of the endeavor, Chen Luo had few supporters. Only his and his wife's family, as well as several of his acquaintances, believed in his ability to complete the project.

Soon after, that project began to show some success, and others began to invest in his project, and after 5 years, that project was completed, becoming one of the largest in the country. The word spread, and individuals from all across the country began to go there for treatment.

Chen Luo wanted to hand Yue the post of president at 21. Many people were skeptical of Luo's decision at first, but after watching her perform for a year, they realized she was a prodigy.

While they were conversing, the door to that room reopened. An old lady in her late 50s arrived; she was someone Bao respected; her name was shu heng, and she was accompanied by a small girl.

Shu heng was Yue and Bao Lim's caregiver; she was their mother figure while they were at an orphanage; she took them in when she was in her 30s.

There was a tiny forest behind their orphanage, and one day when cleaning the surrounding leaves, she heard someone screaming, and when she got there to see what it was, she discovered him abandoned in the forest, and she was the one who gave him the name Bao, which meaning Gem found in the forest. Three days later, while checking to see if all the children were sleeping, she heard another cry, this time from the same woodland in the rear.

It was a tranquil night, so she hurried to the source of the cries, where she discovered another kid who had been abandoned; it was night, so moonlight shone on that girl; she took her to the orphanage and named her Ying Yue, which meant Moon's reflection.

She was the only person Bao could call his family other than ying Yue and her family. Bao and Yue greeted her, as did old Luo and Sumi, who were relieved to find her well and still walking.

Yue returned home yesterday and informed her parents and the orphanage where Bao lim had spent the previous 18 years of his recovery.

"How are you doing, Shu? Still looking after the orphanage "Chen Luo inquired.

Despite the fact that Chen Luo was two years older than Shu Heng, everyone at the orphanage refers to her as her sister, therefore he refers to her as his sister as well.

"Old Luo, sister sumi,  It's lovely to meet you two; it appears that you two raised Yue'er rather well "Shu heng responded

Old Luo and Sumi were frequent visitors to orphans and provided financial and political assistance; their friendship became deeper over time.

"It's all because to your teachings, sister Shu; she was well-mannered and we didn't do anything; shouldn't you be retiring by now?" Sumi said

"My bones are certainly becoming old; I already have someone to look after the orphanage; I simply have a few things to resolve before retiring." Shu heng responded

"We advised you to retire many times before you were so persistent," Sumi added.

"Shu, aunty Why don't you ask Uncle Luo for assistance with—-"

The small girl next to Shu heng spoke, but she was abruptly cut off by Shu heng.

"Yan'er, stop talking when grownups are conversing, go outside and wait" Shu heng scolded her, not because she wanted to hide something from old Luo, but because she didn't want to bring them into a mess.

"Did something happen, sister Shu? Why don't you tell us? We might be able to assist you in some way "old Luo told

"This…"

"Sister Shu, go outside first, Yue'er, stay here with Bao," Sumi instructed.

Bao had just recovered, and she didn't want him to hear any negative news since it would influence his mental state, so she asked to go outside. They left, leaving just two of them in the room.

"Aren't you concerned about what happened to sister Shu?" Yue'er asked.

"I will surely know when I am discharged; there is no need to rush things."

He responded, then changed the subject.

"You may have heard a lot, but I must admit, you look extremely gorgeous. Even immortal fairies would appear inferior in front of you," he said to her.

"""She flushed red"""

She didn't say anything for a long since she was ashamed to look at him after remembering how she had been weeping like a baby in his embrace the day before.

After some while, Bao spoke out.

"Do you know what's in this hospital's basement, Yue'er? And what are those symbols and markings? What is its purpose?"

"Did you go down to the basement?" Yue asked

"Yes, I saw marks and engravings that appeared to be some form of ritual,"

Even if he explained it to her, it would be too complicated for her to grasp, so he changed it into a simple ritual.

"Father once told me that once the building was finished, they held some sort of ritual ceremony for prosperity and long life down there," she explained.

Chen Luo's family has retained the belief since ancient times that ceremonial rites must be conducted in new structures every three years. To avoid becoming a sinner by violating their ancestral beliefs, the Luo performed a ceremonial procedure.

"Yue'er, have you seen that person who performed the ceremony?"

"Yes, it's an old man with ghostly eyes who wears the same robe every year, it's been about 3 years, he should come for ritual soon," Yue replied

"This year, I also want to see a ceremonial rite."

He said that but his main purpose was to confirm some things.
