"I don't like master's secrets," Yu Bin said, leaning on her. It was comfortable. Well was more comfortable in Xian Chen's arms but right now she was feeling peaceful. It's a good day, a sunny day and her master looks more like a lady now.
" annoying .... " Xian Chen said looking to the other side
"hemp... I forgot you are here. you are always ruining my fun ."
"Let's go down, I'll show you something ..."
"Oh, well, let's go."
As they descended they reached a forest, the sounds of a multitude of birds reached their ears, and the land of Flowers in front of them made the place look like heaven.
"Come on, I'll show you something. "
said Master, and taking her by the hand she pulled her through the flowerbed to a deep waterfall.
"wow, master, you're the best. This is amazing. How wonderful. Look there are bright fish, is it possible? I never knew there was such a thing
" Is it ?" Bao Fang said smiling,
Only Xian Chen couldn't see such a thing. If Yu Bin wasn't so interested in these things, she could see that Xian Chen was terrified. He couldn't understand why he saw something terrible and she saw something wonderful. This earth is a magical one and you can see something good if you are good and something bad if you are bad. Does that mean he's a bad guy? What is true and what is not? He tried to say something, but the next moment the landscape changed for Yu Bin
No flowers, no rivers, no bright fish. The heavenly place has now turned into hell.
Lots of living corpses were coming out of nowhere.
"What is this " Yu Bin shouted in surprise
"This is… reality..." Bao Fang said smirking.
"Reality? Master, what's going on?"
" This place is known as the place where darkness shines.
"What ?"
*so Yu Bin was caught in a dream right now* Xian Chen thought
" Here, my dear, you will have to fight for your life," Bao Fang said, smiling devilishly.
"Are you kidding me, master? Did you fool me? I thought we were having fun but did you take me to train here? ughhh, I hate you master" Yu Bin shouted disappointed
" I love you, even more, now, my dear princess, fight. Show me what you can do and I'll think about training you to ride a sword."
"promise?"
"I promise."
"Here, take this sword, " Master said but Yu Bin didn't want to touch it, she didn't forget what happened a day before when her spiritual energy was sucked by the sword.
"No way in hell, " she said, terrified.
"We are already in hell, don't use your spiritual energy, use your force.
Yu Bin took the sword in her hand with not so much confidence but seeing the situation becoming dangerous she raised her sword and cut the first corpse. After cutting one another one came and another one
Her sword cut one by one, leaving white marks behind.
"Yu Bin behind you…,.. in front of you, …. don't hold the sword tight, leave it to her will. Put your leg in front…, stay straight….OK, great job ." Bao Fang watched her closely, she was right behind her at every movement, sometimes teaching her what to do, but she never fought back.
Every time her master was in danger, Yu Bin confronted the monster and destroyed it before it touched her master. It was already hard for her to move around being tied by Xian Chen and her master was always standing behind her.
"Master, you're bothering me, go and stay somewhere safe."
"The safest place is behind you ... I trust you."
" You are an incredible master! I thought you were taking me out to play, but you did that ..."
"Well, isn't that great? … Lookout
"Arghhh…. " Yu Bin cried out when a corps scratches her shoulder
"Yu Bin, are you alright?" Xian Chen shouted when he felt pain. Just a moment of carelessness and Yu Bin was injured.
"I'm ok, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful. " She said, stabbing another corpse who tried to attack her master. She knew that if she is hurt then Xian Chen will get hurt too so she needs to be more cautious.
Behind her, Xian Chen was unsheathing his sword and stabbing every corpse that came in his direction. He was interdicted to use his dragon for the time being. Looking concerned after Yu Bin who just got hurt Xian Chen didn't see the corpse coming in his direction. In just a fraction of a second, the corpse stabbed his chest close to his heart's meridians. The corpse aimed at his heart but because Xian Chen saw him at the last moment he shifted sufficiently to not touch his heart but not enough to not get injured.
"Yu Bin don't forget, nothing is what it seems. Just because something looks amazing doesn't mean it's good.
That amazing thing can be the darkness itself."
"Ah yes ... like you." She said annoyed while terminating another corpse.
"ah, hahaha ... Yes, like me. However, this is the lesson for today. Never forget that. Nothing is what it seems.
You can find light in the darkness and you can find darkness in the light."
After that, she made a sign to Xian Chen that he is allowed to use his dragon, and the next moment Xian Chen pulled out his dragon, and all the corpses were instantly destroyed.
"Xian Chen, you worthless man, why didn't you use Longwei from the beginning?"
"Ah, well, that was my fault, he wanted to use it, but I motioned for him not to dare." Bao fang said, snickering.
"Master ... you ... did you try to kill me?"
"You've never been in danger." Bao Fang laughed then remembered something and turned to Xian Chen.
"Are you okay Xian Xian? "
"I'm fine, let's go back."
"Let me look ..."
"I'm okay, master."
"If he said it's ok it means it's ok, don't bother with him, master. Yu Bin said thinking that Xian Chen doesn't have anything because she is the one saving them both. She was hurt by that corpse but the master didn't ask about her wound.
"You ..." Master tried to say something knowing that in the battle she saw Xian Chen getting hurt right after Yu Bin got hurt
"Master please ... Xian Chen said seriously.
"Okay, let's go back ... you can still ride the sword."
"Of course I can, I'm ok, I already told you."
"You're not well at all," Bao Fang muttered, but Yu Bin couldn't hear.
" By the way, Yu Bin, how is your wound? " Bao Fang asked remembering that Yu Bin got hurt too
"I'm ok, something like that is nothing, my wound has already healed." '' she answered proudly. She was the best in her class at healing.
"Yu Bin, don't you feel anything? " Her master said still worried about Xian Chen's wound It was looking pretty bad that time and she doesn't know why Xian Chen is hiding it
"Like what ?"
"Master, please, I said I'm okay. Let's go back, I'm tired." Xian Chen said but if you would look carefully he was in a really painful situation
Seeing that there was no way to get him to tell the truth and he was hiding his pain, Master took Yu Bin in his arms and the three of them went home. Arriving at their master's house, Yu Bin and Xian Chen said goodbye to their master and left back to the castle. " Should we use Longwei to get home faster?" "Yes, you really should. I'm very tired." Yu Bin said tiredly. Xian Chen took out his book and called Longwei out. However, instead of the big dragon coming out, a baby dragon came out. Yu Bin and Xian Chen stared at him in amazement, not knowing what to think. "Master ..." said the surprised little dragon. "How did you grow so tall, ah princess and you are very tall. Wait ..." he added in shock this time. "We are not too tall, you are too small. What happened Xian Chen Why is Longwei a baby dragon?" "...." "say something ...Xian….Xian Chen?!" "Master ... What happened, why am I so small? Are you seriously injured?" "Injured? so you're saying this will happen if he
Waking up in the morning, the first thing Xian Chen saw was a sleeping Yu Bin, holding his hand tightly. His heart started to beat rapidly and, fearing that he would wake Yu Bin up, he took his hand back and tried his best to relax. "Do I have heart problems now? " he thought. " What happened to your heart? " Yu Bin jumped out of sleep. She heard Xian Chen, who expressed his thoughts without realizing it. "Do you want me dead? I'm just asking idiotic princess. Why are you yelling early in the morning?" "Shut up and tell me what's wrong with your heart, did you say you had heart problems?" "When did I say that?" "right now ?" "...." "Don't look at me like that, Xian Chen, and don't tell me you're okay because I'll never believe you again." " You ... did you take care of my wounds?" Xian Chen asked fatigued. Maybe they are behaving like a cat and a mouse at their usual time and maybe Yu Bin looks like a spoiled princess but when he needed a shoulder to cry she was there cryin
* Were they trying to kill Yu Bin? Is anyone trying to destroy the royal family?*Why, who? No wonder that day when Yu Bin was fighting, the corpses were much fiercer.* This thought kept him stuck for a while. so Yu Bin began to worry. "Brother Xian, are you okay?" Yu Bin took him out of his thoughts. *She was feeling anxious?* he thought to himself. "I'm fine Yu Bin, don't worry. I just remembered that I had to meet someone, but being connected to you, I can't go. That's all." "I can go with you ..." "It's okay, I'll go when I'm free." " What if you're not free?" " It's okay, you don't have to worry about that." "Really ?" "really." knock Knock * "Come in ..." Yu Bin said, and Ming Fang came in quickly. "Yu Bib, your master ... is here ..." "Master?" "Yes ...." "Ah, look at my two babies." Master Bao Fang said entering the room followed by the queen and king. "Mom, Dad, good morning. Good morning master. Why are you all here?" "Wife, Look at this little devil. Do
"I'm fine, thanks. and you? how are you?" Bao Fang said, smirking and looking straight into her eyes, making her awkward. You almost killed me, sometimes I even wonder, master, are you trying to kill me?" Yu Bin blurted out without thinking about it. These words reminded Bao Fang and Xian Chen of what they had discussed before, and their faces became serious and worried, leading Yu Bin to believe that her master and brother had taken her words seriously. "Wait, master, don't get me wrong, I was joking, Brother Xian, I was joking, I don't believe what I said, okay? I trust my master and it wasn't her fault that I'm getting scared easily. Sorry " Seeing that Yu Bin was worried, they both changed their faces and laughed hard. "Really? I thought Master wanted to kill my little sister," Xian Chen said with a laugh, and Yu Bin was puzzled. It was the second time she had seen Xian Chen laugh like that. Her heart felt easier now. Seeing Xian Chen laugh was so good. "Yu Bin ?! " "Yes, ma
"My king if you allow me to speak ..." Bao Fang said bowing. "You are allowed Bao Fang" "Your highness, I know a place where Yu Bin can find her sword. If you allow me to take her for a month I'm sure we can find her the perfect sword. She said walking towards the king. "I already tried everything… " the king said, sighing deeply. He was trying so many times. From the time Yu Bin turned 12 till today, every time he heard about a new sword he would go buy it and come back with her, but none of them worked with Yu Bin. Every single sword rejected her. " Her spiritual energy is weak, that's why she was rejected and I know a place where she can cultivate. I will help her cultivate for the next two weeks then she will follow a heavy training. Just after that, she will have a chance to conquer a sword. But I'll always be right behind her" Bao Fang said. She knew Yu Bin was very weak right now, but she had a desire to be stronger. And at the end who can stay in the way of a stupid? The
Having all these things, Bao Fang couldn't carry Yu Bin in her arms so she made the sword bigger and put the princess down. "Master….are you telling me you could do this before but I needed to stay in your arms all the time? " "Yes," Bao Fang answered, giggling. "Why" "It's easier" "It's not…" "Why not ?" "How can be easier carrying someone in your arms instead of making it bigger " "Making it bigger you will use a bigger amount of spiritual energy " "Oh, but you are strong anyway, making it bigger will not cost you much," Yu Bin said and stayed down. "Sleepy ?" "Very …" Yu Bin said, sighing tiredly. "We will be back soon, you can sleep for a while, I'll keep you in my arms," Master said, staying down beside her. "Thank you master …" Yu Bin answered and let her head fall on Bao Fang's chest. After riding the sword for a while they arrived home and Bao Fang woke Yu Bin up and brought her into the house. She put the mattress on the bed and put a blanket and a few pi
"Listen, Yu Bin, I never said it will be easy, I already told you that there will be two kinds of spiritual energy there, death and life is there in the same time and you need to choose life " "Why do I need to enter the water master? Why can't I just stay close to the water ?" " you need direct contact with it" "Daaaammmmnnnn" Yu Bin shouted her lungs out. "When you are ready you can enter. I want you to know one thing before you start… I trust you, you can do it " "Ok, let's do this, " Yu Bin shouted confidently and ran inside the water. "Good luck Yu Bin " Bao Fang muttered worriedly. She indeed trusts the princess but she can't help but not be worried for her. "So cooolllllddd, master I'll be freezing to death ." She shouted from the water. "Yu Bin, listen to me " "I'm l…all..listening ma…st..er" Yu Bin answered shivering. "Close your eyes, visualize your meridian channels, do you see them ?" "Y…yes.. ma…st…er" Yu Bin answered "Now, every channel has a portal, ope
After they ate, the two left to the river where Yu Bin entered under the water and started her cultivation trying to connect herself with the water. It was not working from the first time, making her almost drown a few times, but after one week she managed to connect with the water spirit and make the water her own home. Two weeks later she was staying more in the water than with her master, waking up at five in the morning and rushing down to the river and starting her cultivation rather than going back later. Sometimes she was not going home for two to three days. After she meditated in the water she used to go out and jump in one of the biggest trees there and enter meditation again. Her golden core became stronger and she started to use her spiritual energy into jumping high and running fast. "Yu Bin, come down here " Bao Fang shouted and Yu Bin came down instantly. "Yes, master ?!" Yu Bin said, landing down and walking towards her. "Starting tomorrow I will train you in ba
*knock KnockA knock on the door was heard and Bao Fang got up from the table and went to open it. They weren't waiting for anyone. The five ate together like every morning. Some time had already passed since the incident that had taken place on the mountain, so Yu Bin's heart had calmed down a bit and they could have breakfast together."Who could it be? Master seems to be taking quite a while to come back." Yu Bin said and got up to go to the door.Once at the door, Yu Bin was face to face with Ming Fang."Hello, long time no see." Ming Fang said and Yu Bin slowly raised a hand in disbelief. She didn't think she would see Ming Fang again very soon, at least she didn't think she would come by herself.*knock KnockA knock on the door was heard and Bao Fang got up from the table and went to open it. They weren't waiting for anyone. The five ate together like every morning. Some time had already passed since the incident that had taken place on the mountain, so Yu Bin's heart had calmed
Reaching the top of the mountain, Ming-Fang, had a terrible experience. In front of her, only a few meters away, was lying on the ground almost disfigured, the man who saved her life five years ago."Old man! " Ming Fang called out in terror. The one who believed in her was dead."You promised you will stay by my side. Bayiu! You promised you will stay by my side, even if everyone will leave me, you will stay, you will stay! " Ming Fang shouted, clenching her hands on his clothes, tears falling down her face like a river not giving any sign that it will stop very soon. It was not wrong to say that her heart felt like it was crumbling. "Old man! Bayiu! Yan Bayiu wake up right now! You lied to me! You lied! " she continued to cry and shout in despair. She wished that it was a nightmare and the old man would wake her up, But with time, Ming-Fang admits that it is not a dream, it is not a nightmare, it is reality. Monsters created by her just killed the only person who believed in her."B
Be ok, please be ok, please, I beg you, please, don't leave me alone, be ok, I'll be right there. The thought that the old man could be in big danger because of her crushed her so hard that she couldn't hear the others calling her behind. All she knew was that the memory she just got was terrible and that if the old men got hurt it would be just her fault."Ming Fang, can you wait for a moment please?" Yu Bin shouted behind her but there was no way for her to hear anything. Seeing that there was no way to make her hear their voice, Xian Chen rushed in front and grabbed her hand, turning her around. "A-Xian!""Xian Chen""Master!""Look out " Everyone shouts out in terror. Just when he grabbed Ming Fang, a fierce corpse appeared behind him. The moment Ming Fang turned around her eyes locked with the monster's eyes and she felt like she just felt his intentions. It was obvious what he was going to do but she felt it was hard so just before Xian Chen could be stabbed, Ming Fang tur
"Zombies? " Yu Bin and Xian Chen asked, terrified. If they said zombies, then it must be about fierce corpses….."Jinyi, don't you dare come here, I'll meet you in the park so stay there!" the old man shouted on the phone, startling Ming Fang, who never heard him shout like that. "Stop talking nonsense, I'm coming there right now," she answered angrily and closed the phone, then ran back home.What is going on? What can be? Zombies do not existing, they are just in the movies. Is he trying to scare me? Why would he do that? No, no, something must have happened, I ne…"Ming Fang! Ming Fang! Ming Fang! Stop for a bit for God's sake." Yu Bin called her worried from behind and took her out of her thoughts."Where are you coming? Go back, it can be dangerous, " Ming Fang said, but Yu Bin disapproved."Listen to me, they are not zombies. Well, humans call them like that, but they…""What are you saying, Yu Bin? Just stay back, " she answered confusedly and ran. "If someone knows about the
*Knock *knock, the sound made outside her room took Yu Bin out of her thoughts. "Yes, enter! "" Yu Bin, do you want to have a drink with me? " Xian Chen said, opening the door slowly. He was feeling a bit insecure and he needed to talk with her. He had a feeling that Yu Bin could disappear anytime."Sure, let's go " she answered smiling and approaching him, she grabbed his hand and went out.She knew why he was calling her to drink. She knew his fears, she was afraid too. She was afraid to disappoint everyone, she was afraid of losing everyone again, and she was afraid that she would be unable to bring Ming Fang's soul back. "A-Xian!""Yes?""Are you ok? ""Yu Bin!" Xian Chen called her name tenderly, keeping her hand in his and walking slowly looking at the cherry blossom around them. The sky was so beautiful tonight and you could see the stars so clearly."Yes?" She asked, stopping and looking into his eyes. "The moon is so beautiful tonight, " he answered, smiling. A breeze s
"Old man, Do you think I'm a bad person ?" Ming Fang asked, somehow disturbed by Yu Bin's and Xian Chen's reactions a few hours ago. "Why do you think so?" The old man asked, turning around and staying down on the chair beside Ming Fang. They were reaching their home not so long ago and he was preparing some food for them but Ming Fang's troubled voice made him stop whatever he was doing and stayed down beside her. "Their reaction, don't you find it strange? The young girl was looking really scared when she first saw my face, like… she was looking like she saw her worst nightmare. In the beginning, I thought that I scared her because she was lost in thought and I suddenly appeared but then when the man appeared he was looking like he was ready to fight me. " Ming Fang answered, thinking about what happened. " Jiayi, there is no bad person in this world. We might do things that in our mind are ok but are looking bad for others, but that doesn't mean we are bad." "What about the k
Reaching the house Xian Chen grabbed Yu Bin's hand and dragged her into their room."Yu Bin, can you tell me what is going on? I am pretty sure that you remember lots of things from your past and of course, you remember Ming Fang, so can you please tell me what is going on?""I…. It's true, I remember Ming Fang…" "Then how can you stay so close to her? If what I think is true then Ming Fang lost her memories somehow, but still, don't you know that she is evil? Just because she doesn't remember what she did doesn't mean that she is innocent and good." "A-Xian ing-Fang lost her soul because of me, she is not evil…" Yu Bin said, looking down sadly."And how is that your fault? Yu Bin, she tried to revive her parents, she used an interdicted spell…" "She was feeling lonely…. I didn't see it, I was living in my bubble of happiness thinking that everyone in the world is the same happy as me, and didn't see her pain""Still…." " A-Xian, when your parents died you had Master by your side,
"Helping you?""Yes, if you know me then that's amazing. After so many years I finally found someone who knows me " Ming Fang said, smiling happily."You don't know me?" Yu Bin asked, looking carefully at her face.It's she playing a prank on me? Yu Bin couldn't help herself to not doubt the person in front of her. "I'm sorry, the old man said that five years ago I was in an accident. He said he found me at the bottom of a mountain. From what he said, it seems that I fell from a very high height, and from the way my body looks then, I should have been dead. Well, it seems that I am stronger than I look because I recovered very quickly." Ming Fang said proudly, beaming happily. " However, it seems that no matter how many years have passed, my memory doesn't seem to want to come back," she added now looking down sadly "Anyway, now I found you and you will help me recover my memories'' she continued holding Yu Bin hand and smiling hopefully. Looking back, Yu Bin didn't remember seei
Waking up in the morning, Chen Xian opened his eyes expecting to see Yu Bin, but unexpectedly she was not there. He was surprised at first, then surprise turned to shock, and shock turned to worry and frustration. Thinking of the day when Yu Bin was caught by Ming Fang and fell off the cliff into the abyss, his heart trembled suddenly, and he jumped out of bed in fright. As soon as he hit the floor, he lost all his strength and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face."Yu Bin...Yu Bin..." He continued to mutter to himself, trying to get up with all his strength, but he couldn't. Bumping his legs hard, he got up, opened the door, and ran quickly, almost falling on the stairs.Down the stairs, some voices and laughter from the kitchen caught his attention. One of the voices came from the person he loved the most. Walking to the kitchen in a hurry, he found himself face to face with Bao Fang, Long Wei, and the person whom he misses the most the moment he opened his eyes. Seeing
