1.3 - Feng Li Ren's Eyes

After talking to my maid, I dismissed her saying that I was tired and went inside of my space and saw a little cottage with the door cracked open. I go to the door then open it and see an old book. I touch the book and wipe the dust off the cover revealing the name. "Twin Phoenix Cultivation Method"

After seeing the name, I heard a voice in my head. "Little one, do you accept the bloodline of the fire and ice Phoenix? It will hurt like hell. This is your last chance to deny..."

Feng Li Ren's mind turns at high speeds as she thought. "That voice really prepared something nice for me." Thinking up to here she smiles and says "Enough drivel. I am willing to bear any suffering as long as this title of waste can be erased from my person. I will do what ever it takes to become strong enough to protect whatever I want to be protected."

"Heheheh... Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. I hurts more than you think." With that said, a total of 18 drops of blood come out of the book and stop in front of these. "If you can absorb all 18, I will prepare something extra for you." After this he stops talking and and leads the 1st drop of Phoenix blood to my body.

The first drop is absorbed into my body water into a sponge. It felt very warm and gentle. Then the second one came and it felt like my body went from heaven to an icy hell. My skin was forming frost rapidly and my teeth were chattering so I bit my lips hard and clenched my teeth to prepare for the next taste of hell.

The 3rd drop of blood entered my body and My skin burst in to flames and burnt off rapidly and I couldn't help but let out a groan from the pain. Then the 4th drop entered my body and it entered an icy hell once again.

On the 17th drop, instead of a hot drop of blood to take me out of this ocy hell it was a cold one that pushed me deeper into it. I felt my blood freeze and my heartbeat slow to a crawl but I wasn't dead yet surprisingly. In fact, I felt more alert that I ever had in both lifetimes. Then the 18th drop of Phoenix blood entered into my body I felt my body change internally. It wasn't hot or cold anymore. I felt like I was enjoying the breeze on a nice summer day. But when I looked at my hair, i had realized that it had changed color from the normal black to a silver and golden red flame like color at the ends. That wasn't the only change. There was a black outer layer on my skin and when i rubbed it, it revealed the most tender skin I have ever seen. It was flushed pink like i just took a bath. It was like if I was to pinch my skin, water would come out.

"Congratulations, little one. You have fused all of the bloodlines." I heard a voice and a silver and golden red bird flys onto my shoulder and says "Take a bath and go to sleep. I used alot of energy taking out 18 drops of my essence blood. I will wake up in a week. For now, just practice the cultivation method in the book. That's all." After saying his piece, he kicked me out of my space and i am back in my room now.

This is when Xiao Mei enters my room and finds me covered in soot. She gasps and says "Young Miss, what happened?"

I thought about what I didn't tell her earlier and say "Xaio Mei, I can see you." A smile forms on my face. I felt that I had to tell her.

Xiao Mei froze and looked at my eyes. My eyes don't look glazed anymore. Now they look like a night sky full of stars, deep and profound. Tears fall out her eyes and she smiles and hugs me fiercely. "Young Miss, do I look cute?"

She lifts her face up and I see a pair of swollen eyes on a face that is trying to hold back tears desperately.

"No you look hideous from crying just now. You look like you just got puched in the eyes." After that I realize that I have tears running down my face. I start trying to wipe the tears from my eyes. "God dammit, why am I crying. I should be happy."

It was then that I heard a voice echo through my soul. "Thank you for letting me see what Xiao Mei looks like. Please continue to live in my place and protect those that I care about for me."

After I heard that, i froze and the tears started to flow faster but I didn't try to stop them this time. I felt all of the sadness from the last 4 years of the previous souls memories buildup inside of me and hugged Xiao Mei tightly and cried silently on her shoulder.

That night, both me and Xiao Mei slept together and it was the most comfortable sleep that I have had in both lifetimes.
