The Beginning Of Sadness Pt1

"Shijie!"

As the memories of their previous life with An Chang as another person in another world still plegued Hong Wen Sheng's dreams at night. He could still find the happy moments with him as Yang .

Although he still saw the nightmares created from his innermost fears as the Mistress of the Dark ; Yin. He was able to pull himself from the depression by meditating to improve his cultivation level with the help of An Chang.

It had been a week since he stepped into the cold waters of Cristal Peak's Butterfly Spring . A private spring for the Main Clan's daughters-in-law only.

Hua Ling Ling had come twice this week alone and returned. But he had been determined to break through to the next level in his cultivation.

And with An Chang's training in combat had been enough to channel his increasing energy.

Being able to go from Level 2: to Level 5: of the Flame Scroll cultivation which could be very difficult if not taught by the sect masters in under a month was very to say the most extraordinary.

It was the following Tuesday that he finally broke from his cultivation in selection. An Chang stood by the exit of underground cave. In his right hand a insolation parcel probably filled with food.

His silver robes giving him a regal aura. The long hanfu just above ankels .He wore white boots that clung to the well-defined calf,the white pants could be seen through the the hip-high slot that was held in the middle by a sort of gather-like belt with silver buckel. His silver belt with butterfly embroidery work held a bit enchanted runes. And from the belt hung a-

"Gasp!"

It was a Blood Moon Jade¹. I

The moment he saw is his breathe hitched in his throat. He could smell the Two individual distinctive souls in it. One Demonic the other Heavenly.

His eyes rose the meet An Chang's in the middle.

He was about to speak when An Chang's lips gave a pout.

"Hurry we need to meet the elders about the issue."

He then lead the way to the council.

As the walked Hong Wen Sheng Was able to take a few snakes from the parcel.

Cristal Hall.

On their way here to the Cristal Hall he had thought about going home for the week. But it's turns out that those plans can be put on hold for a while.

There were news that Floating Palace was holding the next Alliance of Female Elemental Cultivation Meet, the elders of the An Clan had been made known of the heavy hearted secret of using the brother of the bride as the replacement bride.

And had decided to not hide this from the sect and side branch.

Hua Ling and Him in disguise along with females of age had come along to the meet. An Chang and An Clan leader were escorts.

Their journey to the east (A/N*See what I did there."Journey To The West. movie you should watch it.) Did not take long because two days later they arrived at the main city for the Jiang State.

As they descended from the sketch and onto the streets of Jiang many eyes turned to watch the excitement.

What did catch their eye were the couple in silver and whites. They bother had masks on half of their faces. They also had many hat-veil wearing females in the entourage.

There were many whispers going around. Hua Ling was among the few females to reveal their faces and when many females from the prominent sects and states saw her they let out hisses and scornfully groans in her direction.

But this made her lean towards Wen Sheng and say.

"You see little brother you have a famous sister." She smiled widely. Her hands held at the hips, a smug smile on her expression.The other females giggled . An Huang snickered

One of the braver ones speaking out "Shijie don't you think it's because they remember what you did to the last year at the Meet?!" Then they all laughed.

She turned to look at the back,"Ya! Who said that! Show your face."

Obviously if you had attended the meet last year you would know how she won the competition.

"What!! What do you mean by that uh! Just because I won by default does not mean I don't deserve it."

And on the other side An Chang who was next to Wen Sheng looked at him puzzled. He smirked "Sister-in-law won but burping at the the other female."

Hong Wen Sheng seemed to come to realisation. Gasping he went on to say"Ah! Shijie how can this be done.?"

"Ah! It was a mistake.!!!!!"

And laughter filled the group.

An Chang was mesmerized by the smile of Wen Sheng next to him. His own lips stretch into a smile.

"Ah! Brother-in-law why are you smiling!"Hua Ling giggles. The others only turnto see a black face.
