The journey to find the Lady of the Lake began. Nimune(or Mu)who they were searching for and they didn't even have an idea where she was. The drawing of the plant which was in the hands of Shang was their map. They had to find a forest with that plant. Maybe,just maybe their us a lake in the forest.Shang,Min and Cheng headed to Mount Qin,a place that consists of beautiful plants. There is a slight possibility that they might find the plant there.Mount Qin, existing in the southern part of XIA Empire,Min's kingdom. Lots of plantation, beautiful ornamentation filled the place. In the east of Mount Qin, plantations were enormous but the west,ornaments and a shining and bright stream filled the place. It is a beautiful sight to see.Jasmine stood there speechless. The surroundings were superb that made her want to cry and reside forever in there. It was beautiful.Cheng moved to the East where plants were and searched for the one that seemed similar to the one in the drawing. But unfort
"Lu Forest",said Zheng."Lu Forest, where's that?"asked Shang"it's after Zhao's dungeon. And you know even before reaching the dungeon,it's going to be hard. It takes lots of strength, courage,capacity to reach and pass through there. it's a deadly place- Zhao dungeon", explained Zheng. He knew the consequences and effects of passing through Zhao dungeon. A place where folks avoids."Everyone knows that, Zheng. What did you do there?"asked Cheng as he narrowed his eyes. He absolutely knew that Zheng had been there before."me? nothing. Just like you said, everyone knows that. It's history", replied Zheng as he controlled his thoughts so Cheng wouldn't hear."Lie. Don't stress yourself,I can still hear you but I'm blocking it because I want to hear from your mouth."said Cheng."well,it was at that time when I was so eager in saving Le. Back then, Enchantress asked me to get a plant from Lu Forest in order to save Chang Le." Stated Zheng,not finishing the story because they were fully
Jasmine sat behind Cheng with her hands wrapped around his waist. To someone who hadn't ridden a horse before,she felt like puking. With the great speed they were going,she was suffocating and had no choice than to scream, "stop,stop."Immediately,they halted,she got down from the horse in a clumsy manner and puked instantly. Cheng offered her a bottle of water and she smiled faintly at him. When she was done,she apologized embarrassingly to them. She had never ridden a horse before. And with the fast pace,she suffocated.The men just shrugged their shoulders as it didn't bother them. They moved forward and decided to rest there before they continued their journey. After an hour rest,they continued.With the fast ride,they got to Hu mountain by noon. A mountain spirits resides. Spirits that uses your fear against you and then eat you up at your lowest. Even their happy moments will be used against them. Zheng explained it to them at morning and told them to never let their emotions sh
On reaching Zhao dungeon,the three stood far away staring at the place they had to pass through. After the dungeon was their final destination,Lu Forest. To get there,passing through the dungeon was required but at the same time,a deadly mission.At the entrance of the dungeon,lied a dragon. Protector of the everyplace that started from where it resided. The human had hunted down the dragons years back,risking their lives. Everyone were curious about what was there after the dungeon. Why it was a place one shouldn't visit and why did they have to place a dragon to watch over?what are they hiding?Back then,to avoid unpleasant situation,no one ever went through the mountain. Those who thought history was bluffing decided to pass through there. But the outcome,they regretted it until they died. They experienced a great Trauma. There was a way to go to the dungeon but after blood shed,all of a sudden,no path. It was as if the path disappeared. No one ever dared to try such stunt that was
Ideas ran through Fu Cheng's head on how to defeat the dragon without killing it or should I say taming the dragon on how to be a good boy. While he continued to tilt his head and the dragon followed along,he raised his hand up and brought it down steadily,until his palm touched the ground. The dragon did the exact same thing. One thing that crossed Cheng's mind was that the dragon wasn't an experienced one. It seemed like it was still a pup. Though it was big in size,it was obvious that it was a pup,with the way it followed Cheng's illustration. If it were to be an experienced one,there was a hundred percent probability that they would have started fighting with the dragon breathing hot fire out of its mouth. The dragon they encountered,it was certain that it differed from the one Zheng and his people encountered.As the dragon followed his illustration,Shang rolled and crawled away from its tight grip. He was literally surprised that Cheng did such a thing. This kind of way,wasn't s
The dragons bowed at the sight of their king. Though they might be àn ancient dragons,it doesn't mean they wouldn't respect their ruler. The dragons had been in earth sine centuries ago but still they knew every ruler of their world. The one standing right in front of them,there was no doubt that he was the chosen one and also the runaway ruler of theirs. He might be in earth but still, he's the king of the Demons.With Min in Cheng's arm,in continued to stare sternly at the dragons. It was their fault that he had turned into his full demonic form and that had made Jasmine fainted. If he had known earlier that the dragons respected the ruler of hell,he could have changed into his form and all this fight won't happen but he was certain,Jasmine will still had fainted."So you scoundrels know how to bow to your king,hmm?"said Cheng and one of the dragons groaned at him but still dint move from where the stood rooted. They were still bowing actually. The were showing their respect to the
When the morning came,they continued their journey. One thing Jasmine noticed since the started this journey was that Cheng had become so free with her. Though it was light conservation he normally had with her but still,he had become freer.After the long and stressful journey,they finally arrived at the Lu forest. Looking around the forest that was even more vast and wide and pretty than the way Zheng explained to them,they were dumbfounded. Everywhere in the forest showed the handiwork of the Almighty."Holy moly!"exclaimed Jasmine. "Jeez,I haven't seen such a beautiful place as this before,this is what they call an epitome of perfection, beautiful just like Cheng's face",said Jasmine which had the men turn to look at her."What?"she asked and got no reply as the continued to stare at her."Let's find the plant and then find the lake",stated Cheng.They searched but to no avail. There was no sign of such plant or any thing similar to it. But they didn't give up,hours passed and soo
Getting to the Lycan kingdom,the place where Succubus was captured. Mixing among the crowds,they rented an inn to pass the night. Seating around a table,Nimune placed a map on it. A map of every nook and cranny of the Empire. Technically,Nimune shouldn't had followed them but because of the thrill,she decided to. And they all agreed because it was because of her that Succubus got captured."You see,let's just do it the hard way,let's fight. It's been a long time since I fought last."Stated Nimune with a wide smile"No fighting", said Jasmine"Says who?I can eradicate them all for in a jiffy,no need to behave like weaklings",mumbled Nimune arrogantly."We set at dawn everyone,let's take a rest",said Cheng and went to lie at a corner.Before the sun sets,at midnight,they were raided and weakened. The spell or whatsoever that the Lycan ruler usually made use of for the Demons was sprayed into the room and they sniffed it and got so weak. The dinner they had at night,it was drugged. It se
Nuan continued to listen to the women’s confession until she got tired and decided to call it a day, she left there and headed for home even when she was sure that nobody will be back yet. She got home, laid on the sofa and decided to take a nap. She slept like a baby that she didn’t notice when Shang arrived from the library. He was holding a book which he had borrowed from the library to read at home at his leisure period. He had met Nuan sleeping on the sofa without a care in the world, to be honest, this was the first time he was seeing her sleep. She looked calm as always… of only he knew how she had put those wealthy young ladies in their place, then he wouldn’t say she was calm. Before he came home, he had enjoyed his time at the library, reading and reading books with different genre. It had been a long time since he last read lot of books, he felt refreshed. The library at the nearest town was fashionable with tons of books there, so many book that it did take eternity for
“Why are you looking at me like that?” asked Shang when he saw Nuan staring at him so intensely. He could easily read her mind if he were to be in hell but he just can’t here in the human world. He was having difficulty in accessing his powers well and he didn’t know why. He could clearly use his powers when they first got here and when he stopped using it because they wanted to not be tracked by the Demons hell, he hadn’t been able to make use of it.“Nothing,” said Nuan. She wanted to hit her head on the wall for thinking of Shang this way, thank goodness there wasn’t any sign of him been able to read minds“Alright, what should both of us do by the way?” inquired ShangHm?”“Should we do anything? I’m planning on visiting the library at the other town. I heard about it from the cobbler down the road, he told me how big and fashionable it is. And I want to go see it with my eyes,” uttered Shang“You are a fan of books,” mumbled Nuan with a smile“I am. I’ve literally read all the bo
Cheng looked at her admiring the colorful threaded bracelet, she was looking so pretty in his eyes that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Though, she always look pretty but right now, he didn’t understand why she was looking more beautiful.He had told her he had lots of things for her but to be sincere, this was the only thing he had in possession to gift to her. He started racking his head, trying to think of what else he could give to her, maybe he should communicate with Shang and ask him for ideas. Shang could know little things like things as he was always interested in petty little things.Cheng communicated with Shang through mind thinking and to his amusement, Shang was clueless as him. Was all the books about romance Shang read all for waste? Did all his knowledge about relationship gone?‘Thing of something, Shang?’ said Cheng to Shang through the mind‘I have no idea, milord,’ spoke Shang before laughing and blocking the mind link‘Shit!’ exclaimed Cheng in his mind. He d
Cheng held Jasmine in his arms as they talked about random stuffs, it was peaceful, calming, relaxing as they both sat on the couch in the living room with the burning candle as the source of light. They both didn’t go to sleep after Zhan left but instead, they sat at the sitting room chatting.“Do you know what?” mumbled Cheng“What?” inquired Jasmine with a smile. Though, she was tired from their outing earlier, she didn’t feel it after seeing her Cheng.“I Love You,” said Cheng as he gave her a peck on her forehead“Aww, so cheesy,” said Jasmine as she laughed“You should say it back,” uttered Cheng“No, I won’t,” mumbled Jasmine with a smirk“Why wouldn’t you, say it back I want to hear,” muttered Cheng as he flipped his finger on Jasmine’s forehead“Ouch, it hurts,” said Jasmine as she glared at Cheng. “I still wouldn’t say it.”“Then, I wouldn’t give you what I bought,” mumbled Cheng teasingly.“What did you buy, my baby?” asked Jasmine as looked at him, making a puppy eyes“Som
After Nuan was done crying, she sniffed and laughed silently, she turned to Jasmine and muttered, “I’m sorry. You were supposed to be having fun and not listening to me talk about me deceased family.”“It’s nothing. If you want to talk, just know that I’m here for you,” uttered Jasmine before pulling Nuan up to her feet. “Let’s brighten your mood,” said Jasmine and dragged Nuan away“Is there any funfair here,” asked Jasmine“Fun fair? There’s one at Ying town, shall we go there?” asked Nuan“Yup, let’s go,” mumbled Jasmine as Nuan lead them there.When they got to Ying town, they headed to the fair and they weren’t surprised to see crowd. Children filled their and were all enjoying themselves, laughter, scream filled everywhere“Let’s enjoy!” screamed JasmineWhen the evening came, the duo decided to head for home but first, they didn’t to eat. They went to a shop and at to eat pork slices with mashed garlic and chili paste. The boiled pork belly is cut into thin slices with a large
Jasmine and Nuan both left the house after Cheng and Shang, they decided to go enjoy themselves, though, to them, it seems they had seen everywhere in the town and didn’t know where else to go but that still didn’t stop them from enjoying and having fun.Jasmine took Nuan to the River of light and she was fascinated by it. She might have been living at the town since a long time and has heard of the River, but she hasn’t reached there yet and there wasn’t a reason why she hasn’t. When they got there, the place was surrounded by people as always and they joined the crowd.“It’s beautiful?” mumbled Nuan“It is.”“Maybe I should bring Shang here, he is going to like it,” uttered Nuan to which Jasmine looked at her an gave a silly smile“Why are you looking at me that way?” inquired Nuan“Nothing,” said Jasmine with that same silly smile.“It isn’t nothing. I can see the smile on your face and it says a lot,” said Nuan“That’s to you, I can see nothing on my face,” replied Jasmine as she
Back to Jasmine’s transmigrated world, Shang and Nuan sat across each other and stared at busy Cheng and Jasmine. The couple were making fried chicken. Jasmine was the one making it and was teaching Cheng, who had no idea of how to make it.“Cheng has been smiling and happy since he met Jasmine,” said Shang. He was grateful to Jasmine for coming into their live“It’s love, have you been in love before?” asked Nuan“Yes,” said Shang and h heaved a sigh“Who’s she? Where’s she?” asked Nuan with a smile on her face“I don’t want to talk about it,” muttered Shang as he looked the other way, trying not to remember the past“OK, I’m sorry,” mumbled NuanSome hours later, Jasmine and Cheng were both done and they served the food, they all enjoyed it. They sat at the parlor to relax and they talked with smile on their faces“Cheng, did you know about souls being taken by force?” asked Shang“What? I don’t know about that,” replied Cheng“You don’t? Wasn’t it discussed at the time you visited
“If she was killed then by who and why?” asked Florida“I don’t know,” said Drew. Who could possibly had killed Rose. She was someone who didn’t have friends and dedicated her life into working for him. She had been the quiet type but was only wild in front of him. Or maybe she was killed to warn him? But he himself didn’t have an enemy. He had always kept low key all his life and the same could be said for Rose“The note, the note,” said Rida as she laid the note on the table. “A pen and a sheet, quick,” she said to Drew and he went to get them for her“Back at school, we were told some people leaves clue in the least expected places, some usually leave something in notes and if she ever left, then we might find something,” said Florida as she began to read the note‘Hi, Andrew, I’m sorry for what I am about to do to you but I’ve got no choice, you made me do it. Was it so hard for you to love me? I made lot of sacrifices for you but you couldn’t return my love. I know I should have
Andrew and Florida left the office and headed for home, Andrew drove Rida back to her apartment before going to his. When he got home, he was surprised to see his Assistant, Rosemarie at his home.“What are you doing here,” he asked her. His security might have allowed her in because they all knew who she was, his Assistant“Andrew,” called Rose. She got up from the chair and walked towards him. Andrew didn’t react to the way she called him because she was someone he knew of before she became his Assistant.“I know what you both did,” said Rose“What?” questioned Andrew not understanding her at all“You and your friend, Rida, you did it at the office,” said Rose and Andrew glared at her. He threw his bag onto the couch and pulled his suit, throwing it also onto the couch.“So what are you implying, Rose? As a matter of fact, you and I aren’t close enough to be having this kind of conversation,” muttered Andrew“You shouldn’t have done that to me, Drew. Do you know how much I worked an
