The Escape(II)

In the distance, Lady Lan, was following Old man Li when they suddenly felt a powerful wave of soul force rushing their way. Lady Lan had the look of horror on her face, but was finally relieved when Old Li said that it belongs to her husband, but he keep the part about him sacrificing himself to let them escape. "How much farther until we get to the save place.....we've already been traveling for hours, but we have covered thousands of miles already." anxiously asked Lan. "It's a few days of travel at our current speed, although we can go faster it would arouse unwanted attention, and maybe alert the other party if we aren't careful".

After a few days of constant traveling, the mother couldn't take it any longer and had to rest. "I'm sorry but I need to rest, it won't be long just for a little bit so that I can replace my soul force." Old Li then realized that they have been at this constant pace since they left, and remember that Lady Lan is just an mortal, and can't instantly replace the lost soul power like he can. As they sit down to rest, they hear a twig snap. "!!" "Who's there! So yourself!" yelled Old Li. "What a pleasant surprise, you were able to perceive my aura" replied to unknown figure. "You must be above legend rank, otherwise it would be impossible to find me." "I'm a hybrid, half human-half demon, I'm not wanted by either side as they despise my existent, they find me as an abomination." "You can call me Ye Jin, I have no quarrel with you, but I can't help but sense a unusual aura, it's not quite human, but it's not demon either. I have no idea how you came across it, you must have really good luck.....or extremely bad luck." Lady Lan was shocked when she heard what he said, as she too felt like something was off about her two boys, as they seemed to be different then the rest of the babies she seen. "I'm the mother of these two boys, Nie Lan, although I don't know what you are talking about, because both me and my husband are from the human race. So how could they be part something else and not full human?" Ye Jin ponders for a while and then a sudden thought came in mind...."Although I don't know how it happened but was the way your boys were born strange, like what was the weather like, or was it a full blood moon??!" "YES!! It was really strange, it was something that I've never seen in my entire life". She then goes ahead and tells him about what all happened, and how they were being chased by someone of the name, Shi Mu....." "What that't not possible, he's been dead for over hundreds of years, as I was the one who killed him and spread his body all over the world, so no one could try to revive him!!!!" "Unless if HE is somehow back, then it would be possible for him to bring Shi Mu, back from the dead..." Lady Lan saw how freaked Ye Jin was, by the way he talked. Then looked at Old Li and asks "Could it be "Him", if it is then he will surely find me and take away the babies, and use them for who god know what..!" Old Li turns and looks at Ye Jin, and asks "How long have you been trapped in the tiny world, and why are you able to go beyond the legend rank, as it should be impossible for you to be at THAT realm...the world is protected by a very powerful seal, and if it detects someone about to enter the realm about legend rank, it would immediately send that person out of the tiny world or kill them directly if they were a demon....I don't mean that in a rude way, I'm just wanting to know the facts, could you possible be a child of a time and space demon?" "Yes I am, which is why I am not bound by the seal's power, because everytime I advance I and open up a space-time tunnel and go back a few minutes, or even a day or two before the event happened, so it's like it never happened...but enough about me, lets talk about the two twin babies." After a while Ye Jin asked "What is the oldest boy's name?" Lady Lan looked at Old Li, and he nodded, as if to tell her it's okay to tell him. "His name is Nie Li, and as for the other one he has yet to be given a name." "Hmmmm, it's a good name, I like it. But why haven't you picked a name for the young one? Is there any reason why.....I think you should name him Nie Jin...."

"!!" "Why would we name him after you....we just met you!!!!". Lady said with frustration. "I accept that name, thank you for taking a risk for us even tho you don't owe us or even know us....what can we do to make up for it, because we can't simply take this for free, and I know you have another idea, but you don't know if you should ask it....If its within my power I will do whatever you wish of me, unless it requires harming this family." "You can't be serious Old Li, we don't even know this guy and yet you let him name my child!!!" "You really don't realize what is going on do you.....do you think that we could get this far without running into any demon beast.....not even one it seems like they were warned to not cross our path or were pre-dealt with." "If my guess is correct then he is the one who has been helping behind the scenes..."

"I want to raise that boy, Nie Jin...."
