Qian Ki

¨My ancestors from my mother's side come from the far north the land where evil gathers, and if you can guess they were and are an evil clan¨

¨Actually, they were so evil that they got pretty good at it, and so at some point during those peak times something or someone had spotted my family ancestors¨

¨That being or person then gave us a gift or a curse, question if you want but I call it a gift the greatest gift my family has ever gotten¨

¨As this gift has made some women in my family reach the pinnacle of this world with the knowledge and methods that every generation of my lineage inherits¨

¨For example, my mother was a Body Limit realm peak cultivator thanks this to this gift that the being gave us; However, now I tell you why people call it a curse¨

¨My father was nothing special as you can see, he is hardly in the Body Shattering realm, yet because my mother was also known as a spawn of evil no one else wanted her¨

¨And even my father was sceptical about his decision in the start but still had a good ten or so years with her bringing me to life during that time¨

¨That all came to a halt, however, when my mother in some vision saw that to break into the Qi Realm, she needed to...¨ Qian Wei stopped for a moment to think if she should say this.

Xiao Fan sensing this said it ¨Your mother wanted to kill your father to break into the Qi Realm?¨ Not going to lie that didn't spell too good for him, but thankfully he had methods to increase their cultivation, or at this point, he might be walking out.

Qian Wei hearing that he said the answer in an almost indifferent tone was a little relieved and continued her story.

¨As you guessed, she in her vision saw that she would breakthrough to Qi Realm if she would sacrifice him.

She of course at the start denied this method for obvious reason as she still very much so loved the only person acceptive of her¨

¨Yet a few years went by, and the vision of it became clearer to her by the day, and her cultivation wasn't progressing either so soon she started to waver in her belief¨

¨Until one day she told her vision to Qian Bei, who was shocked to hear her even talk about such things.

So far, he had tolerated the killing some criminals and such in her experiments, but sacrificing his life wasn't sitting well with him¨

¨However, at this point, my mother had lost it pretty well, and she decided to use her cultivation to apprehend him and then dragged him into her altar¨

¨My father still screaming, tried his best to fight back or escape, but there was very little what he could do with his power against my mother, who was two Body Realms higher¨

¨When the final of her sacrificing him came, however, Qian Bei had made a different conviction, for he didn't want to die and would kill my mother in turn to save his own¨

¨Somehow during all his escape attempts, he had managed to hide a dagger into his robes which he used to pierce my mother's heart¨

¨She was giving her last kiss to him when he would still be alive when she felt that her heart had been pierced by the dagger¨

¨For a moment, she didn't believe it and looked at my father, who in her eyes had betrayed both of them.

Her hunger of power had gone so far that she would think so¨

¨Qian Bei looking back at her only said how he still loved her and that he would take care of me in her stead¨

¨You have to mind at this point, my mother was also the last of her kin and lived with my father's family so no one else could tell me about this¨

¨So when Qian Bei was finally found shackled on the sacrificial altar inside their family home his wife the spawn of evil lying dead next to the altar, one would think how everything had gone from there¨

¨Like every spawn of evil here they aren't treated well as you can see, this included almost everyone in my father's family.

It had been a clear murder attempt of the devil¨

¨People from the family then spread rumours about what had happened, which forced Qian Bei to move out of the region under the Bald Eagle Dynasty¨

¨I was at that time already a child and wondering where my mother went, but I packed my things silently while Qian Bei packed the tools my mother had used¨

¨Some years later, when I started cultivating here, I noticed that I couldn't even move an inch forward in that cultivation.

Realising this I asked my father why I couldn't, stating that I felt that somehow I needed to vent my feelings on something¨

¨My father till this point had hidden my mother's wrongdoings and tried his best to change my path from not becoming like my mother's, yet he couldn't either see me becoming an absolutely useless child as he had said he would take care of me and let me flourish¨

¨That day was a long day; first, we went to look at my mothers ¨tools¨ of cultivation and when Qian Bei had been looking at me who at the time was some fourteen years old he could only be petrified¨

¨For the young me didn't see anything absurd in the things in the room, and like my mother, I found them fascinating and my head was already beginning to fill with the thoughts of how to use them¨

¨I was also a spawn of evil¨

¨But my father still had one thing more, as he had changed my name from the one every woman in my lineage would bear to Wei so that no one else would know about my true form in Hangzhou who didn't know about the spawns of evil too well¨

¨The simple reason for this was that the name was already enough to bear strength in a literal sense and it was famous for it.

No one else even used that name because of it and so if I were named Ki would everyone even here know about it¨

Then Qian Wei or actually Qian Ki turned her up so he could look at Xiao Fan's eyes ¨What do you think of the story?¨ She said her eyes filled with hope.

Xiao Fan was thinking a lot of things!

Where to even start? The point that she is inherently evil, and so will her kids be? Or from the point that she might want to kill him if those dreams of her so wish to?

¨Qian Ki? I'll say that god or more likely the devil has gifted you one hell of a gift¨

Qian Wei listening to him say it like that was, of course, happy ¨So you aren't afraid that I might kill you? Believe me that I don't want to do it, but neither did my mother want to do it either¨

To which Xiao Fan responded by a helpless chuckle ¨Well, certainly, I'm not too fond of the notion, and it would be for the best that Du Lan will not know about it.

However, I, myself don't find it too bad, as if what you have said is true that she only did it because the hunger for power became stronger than her love for him right?¨ Xiao Fan tried to manoeuvre these waters that were filled with minefields.

He hadn't thought that her story would be like this at all, at best he was expecting her to say that it was a curse placed on her that he could fix, not a full-blown inheritance of some powers of evil which god only knows how strong and detrimental for her they will be.

Yet he still wanted her to be his, and for this, all could be overcome.

¨I hope so... Know not about how these things really I don't believe me, but I'll try my best¨ She again became the shy girl she was in her natural state.

Xiao Fan watched her play with his arm carefully exploring his fingers one by one while he thought about more questions.

¨You know anything about how your powers work?¨ That's a good one to start with.

Qian Wei continued what she was doing while replying ¨I can regularly train like everyone works out and eat meat as you have seen, yet I need to vent some want I get when training or cultivating¨

¨I usually take care of it by poking needles into the animals and watch as the blood flows that is enough for me now. Then as you can see what stronger, you become the more exquisite those wants will become¨

Like I said my mother who was at the peak of Body Realm had a full-blown altar room where she would sacrifice humans and watch them bleed to death or make them fight against her so that she could slaughter them herself¨

¨Yes, when I am strong enough, I most likely will also be killing people, but I feel that's okay with you¨

¨For an example of this during the first round, I had such a good feeling of clarity when I killed those people chasing you that even the alcohol that was in my body was cleared¨

¨And here comes a part that you wouldn't expect¨ She suddenly became extremely proud and energetic ¨Look at those paintings do you know how strong those people where?¨

Xiao Fan looked at the painting that did really look a masterpiece of art from how the strokes and colours had been used ¨They are your mothers venting of her feelings machinated onto a painting?¨

Only giggling responded to him ¨No, no, my mother was far too weak to make anything like that trust me far too weak¨

¨Do you even know of the higher realms above Body Realm like the Qi Realm I told you about?¨

The crying Qian Ki who had been trying his best to hide her heritage was now proudly presenting her ancestors' works which made Xiao Fan think that her mood really did change fast.

But then again, she must have been thinking about how she could talk about these things to someone who could understand her for a long time.

¨I have heard of the Qi Realm before yes, but I don't know any of its sub realms names¨ He honestly told her what he knew.

He would most likely need the second chapter of the Book of Cultivation to unlock that knowledge.

¨Tihii ~ Then I will tell you when the time is right, but those painting which are the most Beautifull of them are made by a Qi Realm peak cultivators!¨ She proclaimed.

To which, Xiao Fan did shudder a bit.

What! Her ancestors had been at some point been Qi Realm and not just in name but a peak experts!

So far he hadn't even seen a real strike from a Body Limit realm expert that he thought as an unimaginable showcase of power yet her ancestors were Qi Realm peak?

What would that kind of power do? Would it crush mountains with a few slaps onto the side? Well, for now, it would be best that she didn't tell or he would be depressed.

But wait ¨How are you here if your ancestors were so strong?¨ Thinking more about it, this made no sense.

¨No there is a reason, as you can imagine even before the gift our family was one of the top cultivator factions on a smaller Continent besides Ohin Continent¨

¨Then after they receive the blessing of the being, they went a little cuckoo in their plans.

You can image how much bodies they needed to vent their build-up feelings so while they started doing so, most other factions started looking at them¨

¨It only took a few years of this before the other factions banded together into a coalition that hunted my family into ruins or so they thought¨

¨Since after the war was lost, some of them escaped the island into the far north where they continued to fair much better as everyone else was also like them but on a smaller scale¨

¨Still, in time the people of the north then became envious of their powers, and the far north also banished my family into the lowlands here, but this time the once mightly family was only a few people in the Body Realm¨

¨So your family has been cut into smaller pieces over the millennia and what is left of them is only you a child in the Body Activation realm, that's cute¨ Xiao Fan wanted to bring something funny into her sad stories.

To which Qian Ki did respond by pinching his hand ¨No you will be helping me get into the Body Limit Realm and then into the Qi Realm¨ She demanded, pouting.

Qian Ki saw her family history as something that she would be fixing!

With his help.
