Snowy in Bixia

Haorang and Chao Xua gazed at each other for a few minutes before averting their gaze.

"Is it time?" Chao Xua asked already getting impatient.

Haorang nodded "Yeap."

Chao Xua smirked and got to his feet, he held unto the iron gate and banged hard on it.

"Hey, where are those stupid demons!, I have something to say, hey!!"

His continuous banging got the demon's annoyed, one of them walked up to Chao Xua and dragged him up with his collar.

"Keep quiet!" he shoved Chao Xua down to the floor and walked out, Chao Xua remained on the floor with Haorang gazing at him.

"Okay that actually hurts." he said clutching hard to his stomach, Haorang rolled his eyes at his words.

"Don't let it be in vain then, did you get the key?"

Chao Xua smirked and raised the key up with a finger so Haorang could see it.

"Great, first stage complete, we'll have to wait untill they've cleared out before we make the second move."

Chao Xua hid the key in his sash. "That'll be midnight."

Haorang nodded. "Gather all the energy you can right now cause tonight won't be easy."

........

Li Jie and Chyou fen hurried through the woods with a cloak covering their heads with it's hoodie, the woods was the safest place to travel so they won't get caught by Weng Lie and his demon guards.

It was already winter and the first snow had just started to fall in Bixia, Chyou fen gazed at Li Jie.

"Guardian angel, are they going to kill us too if they find out about our location?" she asked.

Li Jie crouched next to her and smiled at her which reassured her heart a bit.

"They won't, you'll go back to your family and remain safe while I will deal with each of them for the pain they've caused everyone okay?"

She nodded and they continued their journey, It didn't take a minute when they suddenly heard the galloping of horses, they stopped at their tracks.

"Someone's coming." he whispered and they immediately hid behind a tree.

Mei jingjing got to the woods and a sudden feeling swept through her from her birthmark, for some reason she could sense Li Jie's prescence in that place, she halt Ilya to a stop.

Li Jie realized the horse had come to a stop, Chyou fen remained quiet but for some reason,Li Jie felt some kind of impulse urging him to turn around to see who it was.

He slowly turned around and what he saw wasn't a demon or guards like he expected but a young lady who got down from the horse with her back facing him so he couldn't see her face.

He gazed curiously at her, what could a lady like her be doing here?

Li Jie's prescence got even stronger, she turned around but Li Jie immediately hid away not wanting to take any risks.

Mei jingjing was all the more confused, there's no sign of Li Jie, yet she could sense his prescence, could it be he was close by?, she gasped at the thought, could it be?

"Master Li Jie." she called out making Li Jie's eyes widen in surprise.

It's so weird, he actually thought he heard his wife call out to him just now.

"Master Li Jie." she called out again hoping he'd hear her voice.

Li Jie couldn't turn a blind eye to this any longer, that actually sounded like his wife, he turned around and he couldn't believe it, was he dreaming?!, his wife was actually standing there calling out to him, he finally noticed the horse.

"Is that Ilya?!" he whispered still in a daze by everything.

He stared at her looking speechless, how much he's longed to see his wife again but she's standing right there, in front of him.

He placed a hand to his chest and could feel his heart racing violently, his wife was actually here.

Chyou fen grinned at the sight of Mei jingjing, finally the two couples can reunite once again and they can easily get to her home with the horse she brought, she wanted to call out to her but Li Jie stopped her covering Chyou fen's mouth with his palm as they hid away.

No, Mei jingjing can't find him, he has to make sure she doesn't see him, Chyou fen on the other head couldn't call out to Mei jingjing and didn't understand why Li Jie was stopping her.

Mei jingjing was already at the brim of tears, where was he? even Ilya neighed stomping it's heels on the floor, Mei jingjing glanced at it.

"You can feel your master as well right?"

She cleaned her tears with a smile looking hopeful.

"Come on, maybe it hasn't been long since he passed by, let's look for him."

She got on the horse and after one more glance at the place, she rode off on Ilya.

Once they were out of sight, Li Jie let go off Chyou fen who immediately ran off calling after Mei jingjing but she had gone too far to hear Chyou fen calling out to her.

Chyou fen turned around to gaze at Li Jie to find him sitting on the snow resting his back on the tree.

Well she was clearly upset with him for not going to his wife but once she saw the tears in his eyes, she was completely surprised, was he crying?!, her anger vanished and was replaced with a sigh.

This is actually the first time she's seen him cry.

Li Jie was angry with himself but he had to do it, he doesn't want to be seen with her, what if she gets hurt all over again, he's already lost everyone, he can't afford to loose Mei jingjing as well, he has to avoid her so she doesn't get hurt and it hurt him so bad he had to accept it, he closed his eyes tight and the tears rolled down to his cheeks, the way she called out to him, she wanted to see him just as bad as he wanted to see her, to be with her once again.

He startled when he felt Chyou fen's small hands brush through his cheeks as she gently wiped his tears away, his eyes flutter open he met her innocent gaze.

"My guardian angel is super strong, you can't let yourself down like this, you must have a reason why you didn't go to her so I'm not upset with you any longer." she said. "You still look good looking even when you cry."

She said innocently, he looked away but she's managed to bring a smile to his face. she let out her hand for him.

"You've thought me to be strong so I won't let you give up, let's do this so you can get your wife back."

Li Jie gazed at her small tender hands, he smiled and held her hand in his.

"I see, you've become even stronger than your guardian angel." he teased.

"It's my new talent, don't worry, I won't show it off so you can get all the attention." she winked playfully and they both laughed.

They both got to their feets and they continued their journey.

Later at night, Li Jie found a warm comfortable place for Chyou fen to sleep while he?

He had to train his powers, he stayed out in the icy snow practicing his new found techniques.

He held the sword he took from leader Chang and practiced his techniques, lashing out the sword in the air making no mistake at all, his feet moved the way he wanted them to, his steps where unique and obscure.

He lashed out his sword in the air and a fire ignited from the tip drawing an arc in the air, he gasped in surprise cause he wasn't expecting that.

"Fire?, does that mean...." a realization dawned on him, he lashed out another strike in the air and earth came next, he continued to lash out forming different arcs with both earth, water and fire.

He closed his eyes to focus on his powers and he suddenly felt his whole body get electrocuted but in a positive way, he opened his eyes and it was completely white, the sword he held also received his powers as the lightning ignited from it, this power was new and strong the same time, it's energy was mind-blowing.

He smirked and lashed it out causing a huge blast.
