Xia peered up at the thunderous sky and sighed. "The heaven is angry, but it doesn't have to punish such innocent creatures," he peered back at the twitching fishes.
As soon as he said this, water that had drained started to fill up miraculously.
'Oh...oh... are my words so powerful?' Xia thought in glee as he watched the fished swim away.
"Get the ores our now!!!!" Oli shouted, but the huge oars were firmly stuck inside the slushy mud.
Their ship was a modified version of the classical boat in which it had an extra layer of ores which can be rowed from below deck.
Now that it was firmly stuck in sand, the ship was slowly being submerged.
"Fucking hell," Oli swiftly jumped down and started pulling each oar by himself. On the way, he threw a few humans back on deck and continued struggling with the oars.
Xia watched all this
"Oh, I think I see your egg," Aotian gestured to the small red ball happily playing in a puddle. Long ki jumped down and ran without any delay. He easily picked up his child and carefully looked at him all around. "Baby, are you hurt? Ah, daddy is wrong, I really should not have left you all alone," he cried softly, hugging the red egg gently. The little egg did not know what was happening. He nuzzled against its dad and cooed. "Eh, d—did you just make a sound? Baby," he held the egg carefully up to the light. Inside he was not able to see the red tail anymore; rather it was completely covered in flesh. For a second a small doubt rose in his mind. He brought it close to his nose and sniffed. "It is my child, but why does he look so different," he whispered softly. "It's because the child needed a lot of nutrients," the white-haired lady said with a frown. She walked closer and
Aotian's mother cleared her throat and shouted, "PRISILLA, COME UP, IT'S YIN LONG HERE!!"Yin long, the youngest and most marvellous empress of the heaven's realm was Just at the age of fifteen she eloped from the human world with her love, the one and only prince of the heaven's realm, Cheng Feng Long, her marriage initially was a scandal. The family opposed to her because of her human status, but the emperor's love always remained same.As time went by, she displayed her heavenly talent in handling disputes and creating strategies, her wit was praised by all. After just a year of their union she had her first son Long Ki, and in just two thousand year gap she had her second son, Long Aotian.Her regency and power was still unmatched by any. Even the emperor listens to her words.Yet..... the Mers did not bother with her call.Aotian gulped and moved
The Mer scoffed. "stu—pid!" he said and went back to pushing the boat.Hearing his soft whisper, Raijin gasped. "M—mater, he spoke. He can really speak!!" he said cheerfully."That is not what is important thought," Long Ki tiredly said. He held firmly onto the rails as their ship tilted to the right speedily. He took a deep breath and shouted, "yaa, you down there. I want to talk!! I want to talk and get it!! Get your leader or someone, someone with authority!!"The green Mer below glanced at him with a glare. "ne—ver," he said in a slight child like voice."Why not? I'm just asking you to listen to me? What is wrong with that, huh?" he shouted all of a sudden.The Mer paused. "You...invade, territory. No good." He said in broken words.Long ki growled loudly. "I jumped because my SON is down there. And you..... You have kidna
On a rainy day, a small ship slowly sailed through the turbulent waves. Its sails up high, it was at its maximum speed.Long Ki chewed on a piece of dumpling and glanced on either side. The ocean was too rough. If it continues, their ship might not be able to handle it. "Yukiya.....give me another," he opened his mouth wide, waiting to be fed. But even after ten minutes his mouth was still empty. "wifey....I'm hungry," he whispered pitifully.Yukiya on his right was busily eating while playing with the little red egg. "You have hands, feed yourself," she grumbled with a glare."Darling are you still angry with me? Won't you forgive me? My hear is badly aching seeing just your frown....oh my heart bleeds,""Shut your mouth if you utter one more word I would rip your tongue out. Che, I don't even wish to see your face," She whispered while growling loudly. Feeling her emotions, the little
"Child? What has gotten into him?" Xia whispered softly. "Hey, what do you mean by that?""Do I need to spell it out to you, 'sigh' you are pregnant darn it. P.R.E.G.N.A.N.T!!" Oli shouted out loud."Huh? You stupid Kirin, how can a man be pregnant?" Xia casually said and rolled over in his bed. "I am pregnant, huh? What a joke? Can a pregnant person do this?" he shot up on the bed and jumped vigorously."AHHHH!!! You get down now!!!" Oli swiftly jumped up and caught him safely. With a swift pull, he took the duvet from the bed and rolled him up in his duvet safely. He tucked it in the corner, making a small roll out of him. "You…..you…. bastard, do you wish to kill your child? During this period you should be precautious,"Xia peaked out from the small gap above. "yaa, is this your fetish? Why are you making fun of me all day long? I'm so tired to listen to your bullshit,
The next day the blue-haired man brought in a bowl full of porridge with mushroom sauteed with vegetables. He placed the tray carefully on the table and shook the rolled up figure on the bed. "Hey it's time to eat,"Xia grumbled and rolled over to the other side. 'As if I will eat his food. Darn it, I'm going to starve until he lets me out of here,' he thought to himself, biting his nails. Right then a small growling sound was heard. 'Stupid stomach, why did you have to deceive me now?' he softly caressed his sunken tummy."I heard that. Now get up and eat,""No! You blue-haired man, get lost, I don't even want to face you," Xia shouted from within the blanket.A soft sigh was heard nearby. "Will you eat if I leave?"Xia did not bother answering. Soon that man's footsteps retreated out and the door closed softly after him."Finally gone," Xia pu
Oli swiftly picked up Xia and placed him on the bed. His pulse was slow but his breathing was very week. Xia's body was flaming hot, hot enough to scotch his skin. "Did he want to starve himself to death?" He rushed to the door and threw it open. "Healer, call a healer here!!! Now!!!" he shouted loudly. One of the crews rushed to his command.In just minute, an old man in white walked inside, panting. Oli dragged him to the bed and gestured for him to check.The man wiped his sweat. "Ho—ly beast....let me take a breather," he panted."We don't have time. Check him now," he shouted out loud. "His skin is clammy and hot to touch and his pulse is very slow,"The old man shuddered and bowed. He sat down near the edge of the bed ad wiped Xia's clammy forehead with a towel. "He's burning up. We need to bring it down. Bring me a bowl of wine and a clean towel," he urged the crew man wait
Empty, cold, and alone.......Xia dazedly watched the empty walls. There was no one to keep him company here. He was safe inside the space, but every second he spent in it he couldn't help but remember his master.He rolled over and let his hands hang down. "Master.... why did you lave so soon? Is it because of me? Is it because I was a bad student," he sobbed softly.His tears rolled down his cheeks onto the sparkly clean floor. Like little dew drops, it got soaked in without any trace left behind. "I couldn't help you at all master...." Xia cried aloud.Day or night he did not know, but time passed on without him being aware. He laid on the bed unmoving, watching the familiar ceiling. After a while his stomach ached all of a sudden.He rolled over, hugging himself close. "Long....I'm hurt and sad, where are you?" he whispered sadly.His heart ached badly. He softly
Long Ki softly sobbed. "Raijin, my brother. Have I lost you forever? Why won't you reply? Are you angry with me because I broke our seal? I broke it because I want you to be by my side as an equal nit as a servant or as a slave. So please, come back my friend." His words ended up in a loud sob as he watched the blank-looking wolf.He slowly stumbled closer. "Raijin…..please…please answer me? Please, I beg of you," he whispered softly.The grey wolf stepped back and suddenly growled at him."It's going to be okay, my friend, I will save you," Long Ki whispered with his hands outstretched, his spiritual powers flowed out like a soft stream towards the wolf.Raijin became quiet, wary of it and evaded it. He jumped high and low, but Long Ki spiritual energy flowed behind him like a little tail. Frustrated, it jumped down from the building and changed towards the red dragon.
All of a sudden, the Grey wolf's bones cracked."What is going one?" Felia shouted.Long Ki laughed. "He is changing…he is changing back,"Slowly but surely, Raijin's human form was returning. His fluffy tail retracted to form a small spine. His snout snapped back into his nose and mouth and all his hair. It just disappeared.Raijin stood naked, blinking at them. "Im back?" he glanced down at his hands again. Felia in his arms glanced up and softly kissed his cheeks. "Yes, you are…you are back! Oh, I was so worried. Raijin, I won't leave you ever again, I promise." She cried, hugging him tightly."ow," he softly groaned."What is wrong?" Felia pulled him farther and peered at him. His stomach was badly wounded and was bleeding profusely. "Oh my god, what to do? You need medicine. I will bring you medicine," she shouted frantically.
"This can't be. Ki can't be dead!" Yukiya shook her head in disbelief. The little red egg that was rolling around in the corner jumped over to her and nudged her."no...something is wrong…. I have to see for myself," she mumbled and shot out of the watering hole. For a second she couldn't breathe. She panted, lying on the ground. The little red egg nudged her hands worriedly.'I have to breathe…I have to change,' she thought as she pulled herself up by her forearm. Her gills were not adaptable to breathe out of water and was suffocating her.She gasped as he crawled through the floor. The red egg worriedly followed behind her.Yukiya held the egg close safely in her embrace, "its….it's okay....I'm..fine," she gasped as her breath came out in pants. Slowly her gills fully closed up, letting a layer of flesh grow on it.Losing her gills, she was f
"Yukiya…what are you doing here? Are you hurt anywhere?" Long Ki pulled his stunned wife and checked her all over. She did not have any wounds, but her tears kept rolling down her face. He gently wiped them away and kissed her red eyes. "What is it, dear? Why are you crying? Did anyone bully you?""You…you did. You bullied me," Yukiya sobbed out loud and jumped into his embrace."Huh? But I didn't bully you though," Long Ki mumbled, soothingly caressing her head. 'why did she have such an absurd thought?' he thought as he softly hugged her trembling shoulders. On her back, he felt something vibrating violently. "What's in your bag?"Yukiya pulled her head from his chest and sniffed loudly. "It's our child…" she said guiltily."you brought our child here. Yukiya, what were you thinking," Long Ki swiftly pulled the bag from her shoulders and carefully cupped the incub
Bright light.....that was Xia's initial thought as he woke up. He slowly blinked open his tired eyes. Unfamiliar ceiling was what he first noticed. "A different inn?" he softly mumbled as he sat up, supporting his weight. The window next to him was side open, letting in bright sunlight. "When did I lose consciousness though?"After he dropped off Felia and Farah he swiftly jumped over roof and got to the spot. From his vantage point, all he could see was dust and flames. Xia frowned. He was not able to see Long Aotian anywhere. He was about to jump down when all of a sudden he lost consciousness.Xia scratched his head, trying to remember more. "Why did I faint like that? Was I drugged?" he sniffed her small red clothes but there was a residual scent on him, only that strong perfume was left behind. "Then, maybe our inn was destroyed in the struggle," he whispered. He slowly woke up, changed his clothes and walked out of the do
"LET ME OUT!" Yukiya shouted once again. The ghoul outside sighed. "Young miss, I can't deactivate this shield. Only your man can do that. Please don't make me repeat myself," he whispered kindly."Repeat my ass. You bullshit. Open this right now or call that bastard here I will knock some sense into him," Yukiya glare at him.The ghoul sighed deeply. "I'm helpless. Even I'm not sure where he is,'"Then go find him. I need him here right now. How dare that bastard trap me here?""But he did it for your own safety,""Safety? I don't need that. I'm a sky level cultivator. It's not like I'm useless fiddle. I can take care of myself VERY WELL," Yukiya shouted, banging the shield loudly. All of a sudden she felt something soft nudge her leg. She glanced down to see her little egg nudging her softly. She picked him up and caressed his dry surface. "Baby, it's time to g ba
Yukiya sighed. It had already been twenty-four hours since they had left them. Night had come and gone, and she was still stuck inside the shield. She tapped on it and sighed. "This is so annoying. So you know? I used to set up a shield just like this for my son whenever I leave town. I thought it would keep him safe but.....now that I'm experiencing it. It feels like a prison.""No one will have such a fancy prison life," the ghoul softly said, gesturing to the half bit peach in her hand.Yukiya scoffed and took another bite out of the juicy fruit, "how is this fancy? It's a necessity. I'm the mother of his child, of course he has to provide for me. That bastard, just talking about him brings a bad taste in my mouth" she tossed the peach pit and stomped on it. The Little egg pitifully nudging her leg again and again without any rest. The red core of the egg silently watched the remaining peach in her hand. "This..You can't eat
Two hours..... For bloody two hours Xia had to act like he was asleep. The worse was that the scar faced man already knew he was awake, yet he was doing 'this and that' with Hua Jung right next to him. Xia silently bit the duvet, holding back his tears. 'Long, I'm being bullied. My poor ears have been assaulted by their torturous act. Darn it when will they leave I have to enter the pearl space,'He heard a low moan next to him. He silently held back his tears of agony. 'my poor dragon soul, I think I understand your pain now only.'Soon enough she heard soft snores. 'Is it over? Is it done?'"Enough acting. Go to sleep for really this time. Staying up too late is not good for you," the scar faced man said with a smile on his face.Xia peaked out and glared at him. "Why didn't you leave? My poor ears are bleeding,""Then put some medicine on it." he laughed so
The six followed after the nimble spider. It darted through many small crevices and small hole, but still they were able to easily follow along. It rushed past the streets and entered the docks. Only a huge ship was docked right in front of the planks."Xia...he must be in there," Aotian cheerfully rushed over. But the spider stepped shyly away from the boat. It moved side by side and tried to jump on it.With his sword, Aotian gently lifted it and placed it on the boat sides. It crawled up and into it.They all followed it in. But the spider did not go down the deck, rather it ran across and climbed on the other side of the wooden boat. It anxiously moved side to side anxiously glancing at the open ocean.Long Ki stepped forward and held onto his brother's shoulders. "Xiao Tian, it looks like your lover was taken away through sea,"Aotian growled at him and swiftly
