Rebirth or Possession?

Chapter 7

"Ha ha ha ha…"

As the revival thoughts raced through his mind, Ron could not hold back and bursts out laughing; his mood was filled with delight.

"Young master, what is wrong with you? Please, don't frighten me."

The gentle voice sounded again, this time with a hint of anxiousness.

Ron's mind was in chaos.....

He was absolutely sure he didn't recognize the little girl in front of his eyes.

However, the look in this girl's eyes seemed to be full of sincerity and without any falsehood.

Just as he was preparing to start a debate with this young beautiful girl, a stream of foreign memories flowed into his mind...

Ron felt as if he was struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded and shocked.

The only thing Ron was pleased with was that this guy was also named Ron Boris and belongs to the Boris clan.

Suddenly, he felt his whole body aching as if he was pierced by thousands of needles. He couldn't stop himself from shouting.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhh"

"Young master, what happened?" The young girl was anxious.

Ron came to his senses and controlled his emotions.

He smiled at the six year old girl beside him and said " I am fine, Tara."

He could now easily recognise from the obtained memories that the young six year old girl was Tara, the maid of Ron Boris who was dead.

The girl after hearing her young master to be fine sobbed "Young master, I thought you are going to die. You are the only person in the clan who is good to me and cares about me."

Ron raised his hand and caressed her head affectionately. Feeling the warmth from the Young master, she broke down and started crying like a baby.

The foreign memories affected his feelings and emotions, making him have a genuine feeling towards the young girl as if this was his real life and this girl was his own maid whom he cares a lot about.

The previous Ron cared a lot about Tara and considered her as his sister even though she was his maid.

After pacifying her for a period of time, Ron said "Tara, I am fine but need to rest. You should go take care of your daily matters."

Tara nodded and left the room unwillingly.

Just when Tara retreated from the room, a strange laugh entered his ear.

Ron's face changed and he immediately turned around. With a hawk-like gaze, he scanned his surroundings but didn't even find a shadow.

"Hehe, stop searching, I'm in your mind."

Right when Ron thought that he was hallucinating, the strange laugh aimlessly sounded again.

Ron's eyes contracted.

"Grandpa Phoenix?" inquired Ron.

"Yep..... Hehe. I am inside the Phoenix pearl which is within your body" voice sounded again.

"Even if my soul can travel with your power, but how did the pearl appear within this new body?" Enduring his heart's pounding, Ron tried to keep his voice calm.

"Kiddo, the pearl has become part of your soul so both the pearl and your soul were transmigrated together. This is a second chance for you in this world. This is a world ruled by the strong and weak becomes the prey to the strong."

Ron nodded and then asked "Can I ask you something.. Is this state of mine called Rebirth or possession?"

Cough... Cough....

Ron again asked, "Is this situation called Reincarnation or Transmigration or maybe both?"

Cough.... Cough...

"Stop....Stop... I don't know and do not ever ask such questions".

"All you need to know is that you have to become strong. Just look at your body, Do you know why you feel pain throughout?" phoenix asked.

"Is it because this is not my real body?"

"Nop... I will give you a clue and that is the cause of death"

Ron's expression changed " I think the real owner of this body was poisoned and was killed and the cause of pain might be poison."

"Wonderful kiddo, I didn't realise you to be this smart. I think you are becoming smarter because I am accompanying you."

" My charm and knowledge are affecting you to be more handsome and brilliant." Phoenix narcissistically laughed.

Ron rolled his eyes " I was an expert assassin in my past life, so how can I not know at least this much".

Phoenix voice sounded "This body was actually in a crippled state and useless for cultivation from birth because most of the primary meridians were blocked but he was poisoned recently. Even though this poison can be considered as a fart in my eyes, but it was lethal to your new weak body leading to death."

"The spiritual energy in the environment is too low, so the strength of people living in this area will be low too. If my guess is correct, such poison cannot be detected even by the strongest person of this town and so no one knows you were poisoned" Phoenix continued.

"This seven year old body is physically too weak. Couldn't he just do some basic exercises..... God, why is this happening to me? I thought I could become a strong cultivator but now, all my dreams are thrashed" Ron kept his palm over his face in embarrassment.

" Kiddo, How can you say that when you have me, the Almighty Devouring Phoenix, the mightiest cultivator of the Celestial Universe to advise you. ' phoenix sneered.

" Hehe, Even gods kneel and bow before me. I make gods do errand works and cultivators with godhood are gatekeepers of my palace."

Ron rolled his eyes in exasperation.

" Hey, what is that look in your eyes... Don't look down on me, I have many ways to treat such a condition. With just a sneeze, I can treat you" the phoenix smugged.

"Really?" Ron was getting irritated because of the narcissism.

Cough.... Cough.....

Upon hearing from Ron, there was a coughing sound within his mind.

" Kiddo, presently, it is not possible to treat by sneezing because I am injured but I have other means" phoenix replied embarrassingly.

" Fine, but why don't you appear in front of me? Why is it only the voice heard from you?" Ron was confused.

" I am extremely weak now because of the injuries caused by the seal, so I cannot appear physically as it takes a lot of soul strength" phoenix cleared Ron's doubts.

" By the way, why does your soul have a powerful seal around it? I have never seen such a seal throughout my entire life and it was placed by someone even more powerful than me from my peak days".

Ron replied contemplatively " I do not know such things as I was only a mortal human. So, can you break the seal?"

"No, I could not even peak through the seal to know what it is hiding within your soul. So it is better to forget about breaking that seal until I recover a lot" phoenix said reasonably.

Ron continued "how long would it take for you to recover?"

The annoyed phoenix spoke, " Now forget about me and start looking into the memories to find the culprit who poisoned you".

Ron sat in a meditative position and closed his eyes. After a point of time, he opened it but there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

Ron in fury spoke, " Louis Boris, a distant cousin of mine from the clan invited me to try the new tarky tea in his house within the Boris clan in Green Plum city."

" There must be poison in that drink but I don't understand why he tried to kill me. He has been good to the previous Ron for a long time."

Phoenix replied, " The previous Ron was nothing special, so he really has an ulterior motive in being good to you."

" We will figure it out soon. Presently, my mission is to treat my body from poison and then make it recover for practising cultivation" said Ron.

" Kiddo, go to a library to read books on medical herbs and beasts so that I can help you concoct a medicinal antidote pill for poison."

"Even though I am omnipotent and do know alchemy, but I have no knowledge about the herbs which can grow in such places containing low spiritual energy because these herbs are worthless in my eyes" phoenix's hearty laugh sounded.

Ron smacked his forehead on hearing the reply from phoenix and then stood up.

He walked towards the table to pick the mirror placed on it so as to take a look at his new appearance.

He looked at his own appearance in the mirror.

Ron was amazed at the image on the mirror which looked handsome and perfect, with the shape of the face being more edged and flawless.

His sword-straight eyebrows give a resolute look. His eyelashes were thick and his eyes were like priceless black gems.

His eyes opened to reveal deep, dark pupils that seemed to have a sharp golden glint deep within them.

He was seven years old with a lean but perfect body, star-like eyes, a tall nose, and red lips.

Ron marvelled at his own appearance and he was sure that his appearance could even rival a world class beauty from the previous world.

He looked into his memories and slowly came to understand bits and pieces of this continent and the place he currently lives.

He currently resides in the Green Plum city of Seven crane kingdom.

The continent was called the Sky fortune Continent and it was named on the basis of the planet it resides on; that is, Sky Fortune World.
