Chapter 6- A breakthrough

Bai Lu finally made a breakthrough, on the third day seclusion, the sky turned dark as if huge thunderstorm is going to happen, this was the first time Long Xiang has seen a thunderstorm.

As her mother instructed she didn't go near the hut, however she was worried for her mother, soon lightning descended the hut and after four consequent lightning the cloud dispersed.

After stabilizing her breakthrough Bai Lu emerged out from the hut, looking more energized then ever.

Even Long Xiang can see with her healers eye's that not only her mother's spiritual energy increased nut it was also flowing more smoothly in her meridians.

Her mother's body was full of life and vitality.

An Xiang ran towards her mother,"Yeahhhh Mother powerful Xiang Xiang's mother very powerful."

seeing her daughter so happy Bai Lan picked her up and hugged her, she was so worried about her little dumpling but now looking at her cute happy face she couldn't help but kiss it a few times. 

After making dinner of Long Xiang, Bai Lan again went to the underground temple room to clean it, but found her her daughter has already cleaned it and even kept the lamp burning.

'Ah her cute little padded jacket was so sensible.'

After Few days Long Xiang found that the egg she has kept in her space was not only glowing brightly but most of its black aura has been cleared away the only difference however was that now the veins on it has become electric purple, instead of electric blue.

This day when both the mother and daughter were cleaning the temple room, Long Xiang found that the huge serpent above the statute of the body needed some cleaning hence she climbed on top of the stool and started cleaning the hood of the serpent, in the process she found a beautiful red ruby on the hood of the serpent and out of curiosity pressed it.

'RUMBLLLLEEEE.' with a rumble the place started to shake, Bai Lan quickly picked Long Xiang up due to the fear of her getting hurt and before she knew it she found that they have actually reached the upper part of the temple.

Looking at the statue of the deity which reinstated itself the way it was three years ago Bai Lan was shocked,'This... they have finally come out.'

She checked with her mental consciousness and found that the area surrounding the temple was deserted except for the vegetation that grew around it.

With a sigh she looked at her daughter and kissed her little face,"Xiang Xiang you found a way up."

she then kowtowed to the deity and swore to come back whenever she can and pay respect to him, Long Xiang also bowed in her heart after all the deity was more or less like her father. She bowed that when she get some money she will send a priest to take care of the temple.

After coming out of the temple. Bai Lan explained about the forest to Long Xiang.

She new her daughter was exceptional, she was her blood and flesh hence she educated her clearly about the dangerous of the forest.

Long Xiang needed no explanation, with her high mental consciousness she has scouted almost all of the dark misty forest without getting caught by any powerful cultivator or beast, in fact with her healer's eye she could also acutely pin point, spiritual plants, herbs and beast.

Kong Kingdom

Capital City

Bai Lan found a quite inn in the eastern district of Capital City, this was more of a commercial area, where mercenary union, healer's hall and Armament shops were situated.

Now after coming back in human civilization Bai Lan felt that she has to start all over again, now she was in lower realm, not to mention that if she went back to upper realm with her daughter she and her daughter both will be killed.

Living in the underground valley was easy, but for Xiang Xiang's future eventually she has to come out find work and collect better cultivation resources for her daughter's future.

Keeping that in mind, Bai Lan first took a room in a inn, the inn keeper was a jovial lady wearing simple clothes and plain skirt just like the Kong Culture.

She did not look down on Bai Lan due to her poor attire but was amazed by how beautiful she was coupled with the fact that she had such a unique looking child with elvish beauty she gave them a room.

After cleaning themselves the mother and daughter first went into the market to buy some simple clothing for themselves, the old clothes wouldn't do.

As for Long Xiang she was basically always wearing monk clothes which Bai Lan found in the temple.

After the salesperson at the clothing shop saw two customers which poor clothing they were disdainful.

The women was wearing old clothes with patched all over them and the younger child was basically draped in monk attire.

However when they looked at their faces they were shocked, they have never seen such exceptional faces before, the women was an ethereal beauty and had dark blue eyes the child in her arms had similar features that of the women, but with more prominent purple eyes.

After buying two sets of clothing for herself and three for her little daughter, Bai Lan and Long Xiang changed their attire.

When the mother and daughter pair came out of the fitting room, the whole clothing store suddenly turned silent.

The salesperson's jaw dropped to the floor,'Ohhh my god, they thought she was ethereal but right now she looked like a goddess from the heaven, such unreal face card he has never seen and the little kid was looking so beautiful that he could swear that he has never seen such a cute kid before.'

Seeing that the people were gawking at her and her daughter, Bai Lan frowned, she ordered a veiled hat for herself as well as a common mask for her and her daughter too.

After putting on the veiled hat she went to the mercenary group and got herself registered as a class one mercenary, seeing that a mercenary group was admitting members to go on a expedition she filed quickly.

The mercenary Union registered her name and Id and after embedding her spiritual energy and blood onto the badge she got finally registered as an mercenary.

"Name An Lan, Foundation establishment level 5, Red Wolf mercenary group."

Bai Lan nodded, she did not register the name Bai for fear that those after her will come looking here cause havoc.

"Okay go ahead the Red Wolf Mercenary group's office is on second floor room two, meet the head and you will be notified of the task on the badge." spoke the assistant lady at office.

After nodding her head she picked Long Xiang up and reached the second floor, the head of the Red Wolf Mercenary group was a jovial old man, he gave Long Xiang a candy and was shocked by her ethereal purple eyes, but then he looked at Bai Lan who had beautiful deep blue eyes and understood that it was all genetics.

But as an old man he didn't care much about beauty, seeing the child and mother were on their own, he was kind to them and told Bai Lan that they will set off on a mission in about two days.

"But what about my child." said Bai Lan what concerned her more was her daughters safety.

"Don't worry we have a lot of toddler in the back courtyard of the red wold mercenary group aging between 7 to 15, although your child is still a baby, we have nannies who can take good care of children also the mercenary union takes care of the children in case well something happens to the parent during a expedition."

So Bai Lan and Long Xiang directly shifted to the back courtyard of the red wolf mercenary group.

For the past two day Bai Lan saw the working of the nanny in the back courtyard of the red wold mercenary group and after she found it satisfactory she entrusted her daughter's duty to a nanny called as nanny Wang.
