You are...

There were more questions on Shi's head than what's behind those two big eyes or what was this darkness. The absence of senses was way more startling than the void feeling.

He wasn't scared of the void and neither of the darkness. As when he was younger he felt pretty the same way even if it was just his old depressed mindset. Only meeting with this unusual situation he could see that Long Shin was truly important to him, a lot of the things his father did wasn't because he was a clown, but to keep him happy, he felt grateful for the first time in years, looks like he needed to get his mind in place again.

"What is this place? and who are you?" An immature voice came out of his mouth, frightening him. "Maybe this is all my imagination or a trick of my heart demon? The old man said the business between us was not finished" in his mind whoever his voice was still the same.

"Oh no, I am not a trick of your other color and neither this is all your imagination" as the enchanting voice sounded in his ears again, he heard something slithering on the floor, a rough and moist thing touched his cheek as the woman finished her words.

Feeling the pointing thing scratching his cheeks he jumped to the side out of fright. Shi suddenly felt like he crashed into a wall, this wall had a weird texture, but, the only question on his head was: "How can I feel it? This place is weird, it's like someone else is controlling the senses of my body".

"Tsk. Kid, why are you overreacting? About your senses, someone else is indeed controlling it and it is that… thing" as she was finishing her words, the woman started to think if she should talk or not.

"That thing?" Shi thought, but before he could go deeper the voice stopped him anxiously "Okay, okay let's not talk about it" she said with the best lovely way she could in a try to hide her anxiety.

And again the young man heard something moving in the puddle, but this didn't catch his attention for too much time, since he already thought that the woman's voice came from the big eyes owner this noise was her moving around him.

The only thing that could control his senses is the heavenly circlet and his bones, but since he couldn't feel any of the presence of those two he didn't know and the thing she was talking about he also doesn't know what that was.

He started to touch the weird walls and as he felt an orderly pattern he started to pass his finger on its lines he could feel it separating the smooth squares as he suddenly thought about something a chill run down his spine and he took his hands off.

Cuifen was holding the needle high. Drops of perspirations are forming on her smooth forehead and her fiery pink eyes were focused on Shi's six-pack, but she was not astonished at the sight of his muscular body. She was making calculations in her mind and assuring herself that everything was going to be alright.

"Do it already girl!" Long Shin couldn��t wait anymore so his tone was too loud and made the young woman even more anxious, but she couldn't let Shi die after all he did all he could to help her.

With a 'swoosh' she dropped her right hand at full speed and stuck the needle on his Qi Hai meridian as it got deeper on his skin she started to infuse her qi on it.

The needle now was emitting a faint pink color as Cuifen aura started to come out off her body and a pink snake phenomenon started to form at her back.

This time Long Shin could not ignore what was happening and a frown born on his perfect face as he looked at the pink snake, Shi had a purple bewitching snake bloodline, even if it was thin because his bones sucked it all at that incident.

This girl had a pinky bewitching snake, even if he didn't know a lot of this universe so he couldn't see what kind of ancestor they had, he could see that they could easily match each other.

As an experienced cultivator, the miracle encounter of those two started to feel a little too much for him, of course, this could be really just a match made by the heavens but it also could be a scheme.

His eyebrows got loose again and he started to focus on helping the girl who was doing a terrible job circulating her energy inside Shi's body. Long Shin knew it was not her fault. If Shi didn't get those dead body classes some time ago he probably wouldn't be able to save her, if it was easy to control energy and to be a medic everyone would be a master.

Cuifen understood that her skills weren't the best. But suddenly she felt as something was taken care of her qi easing the control of it inside the young man's body. "After this is over I promise I will never run away from the training" She vowed in her heart.

Inside the dark place, Shi was quiet. The voice also stopped and their sight is just locked in each other's eyes. "Your fear is futile child, I won't hurt you, after all, you are me and I am you" she finally broke the ice.

"You are... Part of me?" asked Shi bewildered at the woman's words. Suddenly he felt energy pouring into every part of his body and a warm and pleasant feeling came with it.

His sight started to get clear and in his front, a giant purple mass surged. A giant purple snake was looking straight at him. The dark place was a huge lake surrounded by giant trees that he couldn't fathom their full size.
