Worried Master

Chapter 13: Worried Master

"Well the seal for your light attribute isn't completely broken yet and some of your attributes just seeped out, so if my predictions are correct, the seal will be completely broken in about three and a half years. And the seal for your dark attribute will take about five years to be completely broken. Three years prior to your dark attribute seal being completely broken, some of your dark attribute energy will seep out."

"When both seals are completely broken, if you're not strong enough by then, your body will explode, and you will die."

"Oh...okay."

'So I'll have five years until the seal fully breaks for my dark attribute, and by that time I must be strong enough to be able to withstand the amount of dark attributed energy that will come with the breaking of the seal.' Feng Ming Xiu understood what she needed to do. 'Should I tell master about it?' Feng Ming Xiu shook her head. 'No. I won't tell her about it yet.'

The man looked at Feng Ming Xiu and spoke. "Well, I haven't told you my name yet, have I?"

"No." Now that he said it, Feng Ming Xiu remembered that she didn't ask the man for his name.

"My name is Wang Jiang Hui. I'm also an array master if you're wondering."

"Wang Jiang Hui?" Feng Ming Xiu felt like she heard the name before, but didn't remember where she heard it.

"Yes. Wang Jiang Hui. About your five elemental body...I think you know that people with five elemental bodies were able to cultivate more quickly than regular cultivators, but they would often turn maniacal if their meridians for all of those elements were opened before they turned 20, and persons whose five-element meridians were opened after the age of 20 would turn maniacal one year after."

"Yes. I am aware of this." Who didn't know this? It was said that the Demon Empress, who was the first known person to have this body, was cursed by the devils that fought the Empress millions of years ago. After she was supposedly cursed, her descendants were cursed as well, so persons who have this body were usually shunned by people wherever they went. 'But doesn't that mean I'm a descendant of the Demon Empress as well?... Well, it's just a legend and no one knows if it's true or not.'

"I know how to unlock your other four meridians and there is a chance that you might not turn maniacal because of your immense amount of attribute energy, but there is still the chance you might turn maniacal as well. So are you willing to take the risk or would you like to stay just as you are?"

'This is an important decision. If I let him unlock my meridians, I will be able to cultivate at an astonishing speed, but I might turn maniacal, but there's also the chance I might not turn maniacal.'

Feng Ming Xiu looked at Wang Jiang Hui and took a deep breath. "I'll do it. I want you to open my meridians."

"Are you sure? You won't be able to turn back if you regret it." Wang Jiang Hui asked Feng Ming Xiu one more time to make sure she was firm on her decision.

"Yes, I'm sure I won't regret it."

"Okay." Wang Jiang Hui nodded his head.

Feng Ming Xiu felt her body turn stiff, and she couldn't move. There was a sudden fire under Feng Ming Xiu's feet, then she turned unconscious.

Feng Ming Xiu woke up and saw that she was laying on a bed. She sat up and remembered what happened. 'Did he do something to me?'

Feng Ming Xiu looked at her clothes that were still the same as before and sighed. Feng Ming Xiu went out of the room and found herself back in the cave where she met Wang Jiang Hui in.

Feng Ming Xiu saw Wang Jiang Hui sitting near the wall with his eyes closed.

"You're awake." Wang Jiang Hui opened his eyes and looked straight at Feng Ming Xiu. Wang Jiang Hui knew that Feng Ming Xiu wanted an answer to him knocking her out.

"I would like to give you an answer, but I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?"

"Sigh- Your Mages- young lady, everyone has his or her secrets, and there are just some things that you cannot know right now."

"What do you mean?" Feng Ming Xiu was getting more and more confused and got a bad feeling.

"My time is running out, so I give these to you." Some books and a box appeared in the air. "These are some things for you; this box...when you reach Heaven Realm, you would be able to open it."

Feng Ming Xiu took the books and the box.

"You would put them in the Mystical Pagoda."

"What?"

"Goodbye, young lady, everyone is counting on you."

Feng Ming Xiu was shocked and tried asking Wang Jiang Hui what was in the box, but a bright light flashed before her eyes and she couldn't see anything. "Wait! At least tell me what's in the box!"

Wang Jiang Hui looked at the spot where Feng Ming Xiu disappeared and smiled, holding back his tears. "I've done the most that I can for you."

The place suddenly started to shake, and little pieces of rocks started to fall on the ground; Wang Jiang Hui's body started to fade slowly. "Hopefully you get to retain your memories...Your Majesty."

After Wang Jiang Hui said that, his body faded completely faded and the entire cave collapsed.

Feng Ming Xiu disappeared from the cave and appeared in the room in the forest.

She looked around and sighed. "I've been out for longer than expected, and those two will be worried about me. Feng Min Xiu suddenly felt her sound stone buzzing in her inner spatial ring and took it out.

"Xiu, are you okay? You've been out for so long, and Liu Heng and Wang Hu said that you haven't been back for four days." Huang Ninghong Ting asked in a worried voice.

"I'm fine, master, I'm coming home right now, so you don't have to worry."

"What do you mean you're fine? I was so worried about you, don't you know that there was a beast tide? I was so distressed at that time?!" Huang Ninghong Ting took a deep breath and sighed. "Okay, let's do it like this, I'm in the forest in the inner region, so you tell me where you are, and I'll come and pick you up, oh."

Huang Ninghong Ting looked up and saw Feng Min Xiu in front of her. Feng Ming Xiu saw Huang Ninghong Ting coming and ran up to her and hugged her.

"Master, you're here!" Huang Ninghong Ting looked at her and sighed but said in a stern voice, "I'm taking you out of this forest now, but you have to tell me what happened when you were here these days."

"Yes, Master, don't worry I'm fine, see?" Feng Ming Xiu spun around for Huang Ninghong Ting to see.

"You... sigh- you're too playful." She summoned out her spirit beast, and after they got on, they left the forest.
