Silver Lotus

After thinking everything thoroughly jiang Xia decided not to go home but to stay in a hotel, so she quickly checked in and went directly to the bathroom to take a bath. In her past life clean water was a luxury. There was not even enough water to drink that taking bath was a thought of far away. So people used to go months and months before they could even take bath. Sinking into bathtub she let out a relaxed sigh. While washing she touched her necklace on her chest when she noticed purplish white light was shining lightly in her lotus shape silvery necklace.

"what's going on?" Jiang Xia pondered as she touches the necklace on her neck. Suddenly she felt stinging pain on her finger as she saw blood dripping into the necklace. when she back to her senses she noticed that her surrounding has already changed. looks like she has entered necklace space. she gasped loudly in amazement as she saw plain green land with small fruit trees of fruit, berries and nuts surrounded by mountain and mist. There in the middle of land was a small bamboo cottage and beside it was a big clear pond with no living creature except a plant of lotus with three intertwined lotus flower. The flower was not of any regular color but silver with gold in some of the part of lotus leaf. It looked like it's made of metal but as Jiang Xia saw the flower petal swaying, she knew it was not metal.

Although the pond water was clear she couldn't see the depth. Seeing clear water, she couldn't help but scope a little to take a sip. A cool refreshing feel passed through her body before suddenly intense pain assaulted her as she fainted screaming out loud.

Upon waking up she found herself covered in black smelly substance. Even though she was not focusing particularly on anything but smelly substances she could surprisingly feel changes in her physique. Her senses have heightened, she could smell that smelly substance so intensely, she could even see the plants on the mountains clearly except the misty part, hear the rustle of plant leaves from far away and her body was light. Her whole body was bursting with strength. She was surprised that she could even feel her superpower before blood acidic rain. For some reason she felt that her superpower was feeling a little bit different like it has transformed and was giving her jittery feeling. she should check it properly but first she needs to wash herself because the smell is so intense that she could barely stand it specially with her heightened nose.

She quickly jumps into the pond in order to get rid of smell. Once she was satisfied, she swims towards the lotus. when she touches the lotus and it started swaying wildly as if feeling excited and happy. It was soft to touch even though it looks like it's made of metal. It was fascinating to watch silver lotus dance in her hand. it was beautiful so she didn't want to pick it but when she wanted to drew back her hand a lotus petal slowly fell onto her hand, and she suddenly had a thought to eat It. she knew it was not her thought so it could only mean one thing that is lotus plant is telling her to eat it. she exclaimed thinking this, but she didn't immediately eat it but went outside of pond to explore the space.

jiang Xia couldn't get into misty part so she walked around the mountain where there were different herbs, plants and fruit trees. She could recognize some of it but more than half of it she couldn't. Seeing a ripe peach fruit tree, she couldn't help herself but pick and eat it. "So tasty and juicy" she said to herself while walking towards the bamboo cottage as mountain was too big for her to explore right now moreover, she has a lot things to do. From outside, The bamboo cottage looks small but from inside it was big. There were even 10 different doors inside. Right after getting inside the cottage she was hit by a cold aura. It was coming from a clear icy jade bed in the middle of room. There was only jade bed, small bookshelf, cabinet with different bottles and weapons inside. The bed was so cold that she couldn't even sit there for 10 minutes so she went to see what was inside the 10 door, but she could only open one of them as other seemed to be locked. Inside the door the room was very big, bigger than her entire house and inside there was nothing but a table and white furry ball. As she picked the furry ball it started moving. she saw the ball open its black eyes and called her a mommy in shock.

"I am not anyone's mommy!!" jiang Xia exclaimed loudly and hurriedly in shock as she threw the fur ball in the table. When the furry ball landed, it looked at her with its wet black eyes and started crying.

"No, you are my mommy. you are my mommy. waaaa...waaaa, I want a mommy waaa....waaaa i want a hug waaaa....waaaa"

looking at furry ball crying ear piercingly, jiang Xia could only pacify it "yes yes come here I will give you a hug, come here, small baby stop crying now, okay?" looking at its wet eyes she gritted her teeth and thought 'it looks quite cute.'

"Okay then now tell me, what is your name? how did you end up here?" she asked the furry ball patiently. *hiccup*hiccup* "Name? I am small baby and wasn't I always here, I was just sleeping, wasn't I?" it replied in Its baby voice questioning itself.

.... .....*speechless* 

jiang Xia's mouth corner twitch as she thought 'is this thing calling itself small baby because i called it small baby, what am I gonna do with it and why the hell am I trying to communicate with this furry ball, *sigh* forget it I will deal with it later. 

 "Then from now on I will call you Baby, okay?"

"Umm yes, call me Baby" Baby replied in a happy voice.

"Then baby stay here I will come back later and bring you food when I come back okay" Jiang Xia asked carefully looking down on her embrace and talked as she didn't want to hear baby crying once more.

"Mommy are you abandoning me" Baby asked with a baby voice and looked like he was gonna cry.

"No no no how can I bare to leave you. I just have something to do. I will come back soon and bring you a lot of food. I am not lying, i swear." Jiang Xia hurriedly said.

Baby looked at her suspiciously but still allowed her to go.

*phew*

She breathed loudly after letting baby down the table and tried to figure out the way to go out. After try few ways she couldn't figure out the way out so she could only shoutout aloud "LET ME OUT" and she suddenly found herself in the bathtub. "So, I have to use word in and out to use space. How stupid" she thought loudly as she tried to touch her necklace but there was nothing on her chest. She quickly looked down and saw a lotus flower tattoo instead of necklace in her chest. She was shocked but regardless if there is space then its fine as her mother's last thing was also engraved in her body.

She spent 4 hours in the space so by this time water has already gone cold. She hurriedly got out and went to bed but just as she was about to fall asleep, she had the thought to eat lotus petal. Her eyes flew open, and she found lotus petal in her hand.

"What the..., Is lotus flower telling me to eat this" she muttered as she looked at the white petal.

"Mommy you should eat it. It is filles with spiritual energy so it's good for you" Baby's voice came suddenly. Hearing baby she decided to try it. It was sweet in taste just as she finished eating it, she found her body was bursting with more energy than before but still she didn't fell any discomfort but the jittery feeling inside her increased.

As she was suspicious, she sat and tried to draw her superpower from inside of her. she found that the first superpower she got was lightning and it was purple. She never knew purple lightning even existed. It was different from her previous life because at that time her first superpower was water, one of the common superpowers. Although she got lightening later but it was white and nowhere as powerful as purple lightning. This level one purple lightning can even compare to level two of white lightning. It must be because of lotus flower regardless she was happy but was also curious if her first superpower is lightning then what will be second one. Will it be water or something else? As she thought of this she drifted to sleep happily.
