Reconciliation

Mingmei woke up early in the morning and saw Xuan was still sleeping in his bed. She hit him from a pillow and ran out from there. Xuan got the hit and shouted, "human, I'll kill you." He got up from the bed and called Giyu.

Giyu came inside with some of the attendants. "Everything is prepared for you. You can go," said Giyu.

"Hmm. Tell Ming Si that we are returning back to earth. Also inform Ning Li to catch that human and bring her here," ordered Xuan. Giyu nodded. Saying this Xuan walked out to take a bath.

Mingmei in the garden was sitting beside a pond when Ning Li came there. "Ning Li, the water is so clean here unlike the earth," murmured Mingmei.

Ning Li smiled and said, "Yes I've heard that earth's environment has changed a lot. The water isn't clean like it used to be earlier." She then sat beside Mingmei.

Mingmei turned her gaze to Ning Li and said, "but earth is a beautiful place. I'm missing my home and my bed. I'm also missing my job there."

"Young master has demanded your presence in his chamber. You're returning today so you don't have to miss that place," said Ning Li and looked at the water.

"I'm finally going to my place. I couldn't even get to see great mountains. Xuan told me he will take me there but then we both had a huge fight," murmured Mingmei and threw a stone into the water.

"You are the only woman for whom the young master cares a lot." Ning Li said with a smile.

"Haha. He is forced to protect me else he would've killed me." Muttered Mingmei under her breath. Ning Li didn't say anything for a while. "Well, I'll miss you a lot. I've got no friends in the human world. Here I feel happy but then it's not my place." Said Mingmei and tightly hugged Ning Li.

Ning Li put her one hand on Mingmei's back and other on her hair. "I hope I could go there with you. But I am bound by my duties," said Ning Li. Mingmei cried hearing this. "You're like my elder sister. No one gives so much care to me in my life as you did in the past few days." Saying this Mingmei broke down.

Hugging her for a few minutes, Mingmei released her and from the back of her palm wiped off the tears from her cheeks.

"Let's go. We can't get late. The young master will be angry if he won't find you there," said Ning Li. Mingmei nodded and went inside the palace.

Xuan after having a good bath returned back to his chamber when he found Mingmei sitting on the mat on the floor. He ignored her and looked for something beside the bed in a table.

"Why are you smelling so nice?," asked Mingmei and got up from the mat. She went near him and inhaled the scent. Xuan turned to look at her and then with his forefinger pushed her aside.

Mingmei touched her forehead. "I was just smelling the scent." Said Mingmei.

"You don't need to come near to me," murmured Xuan holding a book in his hand. Mingmei crossed her arms and said, "friends usually have fights but it doesn't mean you'll not talk to them. You even forgot about your promise."

Xuan looked at the book and said, "When people do the things they shouldn't then promises don't matter." He was reading some magical spells. Mingmei looked at the book and said, "You told me that you'll take me to the great mountains. We're leaving today and I can't even get to see anything here."

Xuan closed the book and said, "aren't you the saying last night that you don't want to get involved with demons? You said many things last night." Xuan was gazing at Mingmei.

"Hmm. I was angry that time. Humans can't control their emotions," murmured Mingmei. A smile escaped from Xuan's mouth hearing this.

"Just apologize and I'll take you there in seconds," whispered Xuan leaning close to Mingmei in her ear.

"That's it. Okay sorry. I didn't think rationally and my prank hurted you two," said Mingmei. Xuan smiled and leaned back. "You know when you apologize it gives me a different pleasure." Said Xuan and laughed.

Mingmei raised her hand to hit him when Xuan grabbed her hand gently and then immediately put his other hand on her waist. "Let's go," whispered Xuan. Mingmei tightened her grip on Xuan's robes and they vanished from the chamber.

"Open your eyes," murmured Xuan. Mingmei opened her eyes gradually and looked around. They were on the cliff. Mingmei looked down and then closed her eyes. "I'm afraid of heights also. Please." Whispering this Mingmei tightly gripped Xuan's hands.

He smiled seeing her reaction. "Should I throw you from here?," muttered Xuan and started teasing her.

"No," shouted Mingmei, holding Xuan's hands tightly.

"It will be fun, Mingmei." Said Xuan.

"I will die. I don't want to die," murmured Mingmei in a low voice.

"You said you can sacrifice your life for me when we were in the Human World." Said Xuan and laughed.

"I was kidding. Why would I sacrifice myself," said Mingmei when Xuan pushed her from the cliff. This thing Mingmei never imagined. She screamed as loud as she could. "He wants me to die," thought Mishi, shouting as loud as she could.

She saw down and there was a waterfall and closed her eyes when Xuan appeared in the air and caught her in his strong arms. As soon as she felt his touch she opened the eyes and the next second she put her arms around Xuan's neck.

They landed on a rock aside on the waterfall. "You can open your eyes," murmured Xuan. Mingmei started crying. While sobbing she said, "I was scared. How could you push me down? For a few seconds I thought I was dead. You're really bad." Shattered Mingmei and snuggled close to the crook of his neck.

Xuan put her down gently and smiled. "Don't cry. I won't kill you that easily. I just wanted to play with you. This is your last day here so I thought to have fun with you. I never play with anyone here but playing with you is fun," said Xuan.

Mingmei raised her head to look at him. Xuan with his thumbs wiped her tears off and said, "I won't let you die. I will protect you."

"You're a liar." Murmured Mingmei and hit Xuan on the shoulder. Xuan laughed seeing her. "I never knew you could fly," murmured Mingmei and looked at him with her big eyes.

"Hmm, we can. Do you want to fly with me?," asked Xuan. Mingmei got happy. Xuan put his arm around Mingmei's waist. Mingmei tightly held his arms and they raised above the ground, in the air.

Mingmei looked around and found the great mountains a beautiful place in the demon world. "I thought demons live in some dark places," murmured Mingmei looking around.

"Humans always assume things," said Xuan. Fei Ming Si, Yang Dao and Feng Lui were also roaming in the great mountains and saw Xuan and Mingmei.

"Hey what Xuan is doing? You told us that they had a huge fight yesterday," said Feng Lui, looking at the sky.

"Hmm. I think they reconciled. Well, Xuan never enjoyed such things but with Mingmei he's enjoying it. Isn't it good?," said Yang Dao.

"Indeed it is good. Let's go there," murmured Fei Ming Si and the trio appeared around Xuan.

"Ming Si," murmured Xuan and smiled. Mingmei gave a broad smile to Feng Lui and Yang Dao. "Look I can fly too," said Mingmei excitedly.

"Xuan is helping you," said Yang Dao. "I'm not a demon that's why. If I would be then I could've." Stated Mingmei. Lim Jao was crushing the flowers in her hand seeing Mingmei.

"That human has seduced the young master. They're leaving today but I'll make sure to kill her before that," muttered Lim Jao and crumbled the flowers.
