36 Arrival at Lu Forest and meeting Nimune

When the morning came,they continued their journey. One thing Jasmine noticed since the started this journey was that Cheng had become so free with her. Though it was light conservation he normally had with her but still,he had become freer.

After the long and stressful journey,they finally arrived at the Lu forest. Looking around the forest that was even more vast and wide and pretty than the way Zheng explained to them,they were dumbfounded. Everywhere in the forest showed the handiwork of the Almighty.

"Holy moly!"exclaimed Jasmine. "Jeez,I haven't seen such a beautiful place as this before,this is what they call an epitome of perfection, beautiful just like Cheng's face",said Jasmine which had the men turn to look at her.

"What?"she asked and got no reply as the continued to stare at her.

"Let's find the plant and then find the lake",stated Cheng.

They searched but to no avail. There was no sign of such plant or any thing similar to it. But they didn't give up,hours passed and soon they kept wondering whether Zheng was wrong with the information he gave to them. There wasn't any plant similar to the drawing.

"Zheng is such a useless person",said Cheng in his ever soft tone but there was a scorn on his face.

"Right",said Shang.

"I don't think he is",Jasmine said and pointed at a very similar plant that stood at a corner. It was literally a small plant that one would pass by without noticing.

"It's it",said Shang and smiled widely.

"so now that we've found the plant all we have to do is look for the lake,find Nimune and Succubus,and then go back to my chamber to have a good rest",said Cheng boringly.

"Right,let's sleep together",said Jasmine which made the guys eyes widen.

"What?"exclaimed loudly Cheng and Shang

"What?i will sleep right beside Commander Fu,oh gosh,it's been so long I called you this Cheng,my baby doll. I will lay next to you because I want to",said Jasmine with a grin

"Psycho",stated Shang and Jasmine said, "I heard that."

Cheng just ignored her nonsense talk and spoke, "the lake. It's certainly somewhere around here,let's find it."

Though they had searched everywhere but not so everywhere in such a vast forest,they decided to find the lake at the direction of the plant. Walking past the plant,they went deeper and deeper into the forest until they came across a cave. A cave in the forest. Jasmine pulled Shang's hand and went to stand beside Cheng and also took his. They walk hand in hand into the dark cave. With no light in sight,Jasmine pulled them closer and hooked her hands around their arms as fear gripped her.

"Scared,little pumpkin?"asked Cheng

"No",replied Jasmine as her voice echoed in the cave.

"Don't mind him",said Shang.

As they walked,peek of sunlight shone and they walked faster to it,coming out of the cave they came across a beautiful garden,where pretty flowers where and a lake. They finally found the lake. If they were to find a lake without first looking for the plant,they did never get here.

"You guys are here",said a voice and they turned to see the owner. Standing in front of them was the beautiful Lady of Lake. Nimune. Controller if plant. The one and only person they had been looking for.

"Mu",called Cheng

"wow,look at you,My Lord. Still gloriously beautiful as always and look at you Shang,wowwwwwww. pretty man. Just know,I did still want you as my pet",said Nimune before turning to Jasmine and said, "Stranger,or no,I think I should call you,visitor or intruder. What are you doing in our world? human?you ain't from here."

"How do you know that?"asked Jasmine in shock

"I know because I know."

"What you you saying Nimune?"asked Shang confusedly.

"Do you know a way for my to go back?"questioned Jasmine

"A way?No. You came here willingly,so there is no way out until maybe we end this story but right now,the story isn't ending,not even anytime soon",said Nimune

"What are you two talking about?"asked Cheng

"Nothing of your concern",replied Nimune

"Min?"called Cheng and Jasmine looked at him and said, "you can't understand,ok?you can't."

"Try us then."

"No!"

"What are you hiding?"asked Cheng, moving closer to her

"Nothing, absolutely nothing."

"Nimune?"he called but Nimune didn't spill anything out.

"Ok,fine,let's forget whatsoever you are hiding at the moment and focus on the reason why we are here",stated Cheng

They all sat on the grass with Nimune who sat on a log with her legs crossed.

"I know why you are here."Nimune said

"Good,where is Succubus?why did you send her a drawing?"asked Shang

"Because I want you as a pet,it doesn't mean you should talk to me with that tone",Nimune said

"Which tone?"

"Ok,ok. Calm down guys. Nimune we are here for Succubus. I'm certain she's not here but you know certainly know where she is,so tell us please",said Jasmine

"Bless you,my love."said Nimune which made Shang scorn. She turned to Cheng and said, "Cheng,I never knew you became sensed after roaming and living on earth for so long. Succubus was captured by the Lycans who attacked your village weeks back"

"I appreciate your help in this matter but never,I mean never,speak rudely to me Mu or else.." said Cheng as he glared at Nimune

"The Lycans captured Succubus,for what?"asked Shang.

"For revenge. The ruler of the Lycans is the generation of the first ever Lycans who were killed by the Demons centuries ago. He's planning to find the Demons weakness",stated Nimune.

"How do you know all this?"questioned Jasmine

"Because I know,save Succubus before things finally go way out of hands because I'm certain that,woman won't sit idle without doing nothing."said Nimune

"Let's find Succubus."
