Siyou Yue

Jiao cast a last glance at Shi's back, still looking at it as he got far away in the dark forest, then she asked "What do you think little Xi?" her voice was completely devoid of any emotion.

"His techniques are mediocre, you can find any rogue cultivator that can do that, but it has a lot of power and his spirit qi is very pure, he probably has a good master behind him besides his sword it's quite exquisite, I never saw any weapon like that," said little Xi with the same loud tone she speaks with Shi.

"Pft your techniques are mediocre boy, you called her bland and she called you mediocre, why don't you two become husband and wife? Hahaha" Long Shin joked with his son's face.

Twitching his mouth at his father's words he said "Yeah but she still said my home-made sword was exquisite" trying to find some good things on her comment he replied.

"Of course it is, I made you forge hundreds of them, if all this time drawing, sculpting, and forging didn't give you at least a little of ability it was better to just forget about it" said Long Shin blowing air out of his nose.

As he shot through the forest he was searching for the orange lights. Sometimes he would stop and make some markings on his crude map, even if he had a map now, he still found that map just too simple. It was just some lineart with marks beside the beast hide was too tough to make new markings, he would just use it as a reference.

After some time Jiao glanced at little Xi and said: "Your hero isn't an alchemist that's for sure, besides his male yang there is no yang qi in his body".

"Young miss please stop messing with this old lady, I was just paying for my old life" little Xi replied.

Hugging little Xi with one arm like a man would do she laughed "Hahaha" her juiciness was back again and looking at the path Shi took narrowing her eyes as she said "But one thing I know, he has something my dantian wants so badly, every time he was near my dantian kept throbbing"

Little Xi rolled her eyes "Of course he has something your dantian wants, every male has, I still don't know why Master taught you this cursed art" she said annoyed at the younger woman's coquettish manner.

On a tall majestic building, a woman was looking at the dark jade forest, the crown of the trees dancing at the wind, making her heart flutter every time a yelling was heard.

"Liang'er.." a sweet voice echoed from the darkness.

Liang didn't look back, she kept her sight on the giant trees, it was like she didn't hear anything.

"Sigh… I know you keep condemning me in your head, saying that I was just too greedy for an alchemist, that was also why you kept trying to find that young man isn't?" the sweet voice asked.

Letting a snort out Liang said, "I told you so many times, even if they helped the sect it was just like a drug mortal liked to take, it looked wonderful at the beginning until the dependence of it knocked at your door and it became a poison".

Her bright short hair fluttered with the breeze, her sight at the stars, thinking about the mistakes she made in her younger days, she caused her master's death and now she was so obsessed with vengeance that she neglected her younger sister.

A little tear got out of her right eye, cleaning her tears she let a sight out and disappeared at night.

Cuifen was deeper in the forest, she was almost at the Huang abyss, she cut her hair with her sword and was like a little tomboy now if it wasn't by a cloth mask her beautiful face was bare naked to the world, she was using an Evil Cloud sect core disciple robe this way she killed more two teams faking she was one of them.

She was trying to get on the Huang abyss, she was going for a win-win situation if she hadn't a chance to get off she would just jump and kill herself.

Opening the small bamboo package it was almost empty, just some scattered scraps, doing something she would find unacceptable using her petite tongue she licked the bamboo package all scraps at it.

If any man watched it, his junior would point to the skies immediately.

Looking at the now moistened little package she put it on her robe and not on her ring "Just a little of this paste, it helped me so much. Sigh...". Sighing, she kept walking, her right hand holding her hurt left arm.

-

It was already almost 5 AM Shi was jumping on the branches and he didn't find anyone for some time already.

He knew Cuifen wasn't captured because no sound was made, it was impossible to get Cuifen without a sound, remembering that fiery hot gorilla he knew she wasn't just letting things go that easy.

So he decided to do a new move, he would go back, putting the map on a place he could see he decided to go to the right.

Putting his mask he shot at the right, searching everywhere for some sounds or movements, suddenly he heard a woman shout, for some reason he felt a tingling sensation on his heart, it looked like it was someone he knew.

The sound of weapons clashing was near, he took a last glance at his reference map, it was still some distance from the Huang abyss, he didn't know why some strange thinking surged in his mind. What if that woman jumped off the abyss? But he has more immediate things to do.

Getting near a clearing he saw Yue, making his eyes glitter, this time she was using the same clothes every core disciple of her sect used, it was fitting black outfit with red lotus ornaments, the black outfit let her proud stature show themselves at it fullest even if she wasn't a devil-like that succubus.

She was fighting a man from the Evil Cloud Sect, he wasn't using the same clothes as the cores or inner disciples, his outfit was black with sky-blue veins like patterns. On his right chest, a storm cloud design was glittering at the mourning sky.

Behind the man was floating a phenomenon of a four-armed red ape, the man's arms are orange shining with energy and his arms are at least four times nimble than a normal man, even than Shi he was at least two times faster.

Yue was having a problem fighting the man, not only because she was outside the best environment for her martial spirit, but because of the man's strength.

She was adopting a medium distance fight, so the man couldn't use his arms at its fullest.

Suddenly the man said, "Young Miss you better come back home, your father found a new husband for you, even if you didn't like it, I still have to take you back".

Snorting Yue got her back straight and her moonfish started to rotate, gathering the star energy on her sword as she said "Sorry, even if you work for the Siyou family, I don't know you neither I am going to believe you besides I already not part of that family anymore."

"So her full name is Siyou Yue" Shi thought.

Narrowing his eyes the man gave a stomp at the floor he shot himself at Yue in incredible speed making her take a defensive stance, Shi could see the shadows of his attacks meaning he was still a step slower than the man.

Shi started to crouch and getting a good hiding spot he shot some knives at the young man's lower body trying to at least make him lose his nimbleness.
