Law Of Creation

There was nothing interesting on the return journey as they did not find another fierce beast like the journey before.

When Mingyue and company arrived before sunset, a slender woman was standing outside of the house. She was a graceful woman with a few strands of white hair in the middle of her silky black hair, similar to Mingyue's hair. In Xia family, there was only two person with such hair. One is Mingyue, and another one is Lan Bingyue, Mingyue's mother.

After the carriage stopped in front of the house, Lan Bingyue came to welcome them, especially Mingyue and Xia Longshi.

"Have both of you enjoy Star Royal City?" Lan Bingyue asked Mingyue and Xia Longshi.

Seeing his wife was neglecting him, Xia Wushan could only smile wryly.

"Where is my hug, Wifey?" Xia Wushan asked while scratching his cheek. Unfortunately, Lan Bingyue did not seem to hear his word and only bring her three children inside.

[Sigh.. She was still mad. .] Xia Wushan was standing awkwardly in front of the carriage.

It was not a weird thing that Lan Bingyue was still angry with her husband, Xia Wushan. Leaving a few months baby and the pregnant wife. Moreover, it was for four full years. While he was leaving their family domain, she was the one handling most of the administrative works since Xia family head, Mingyue's grandfather always roamed around the domain.

After giving an order to guards and servants, he finally entered his house after four years.

…

As Xia Wushan's plan, Mingyue was spending half a day with Lan Bingyue. Since Mingyue had no problem with writing, reading, and calculating, Lan Bingyue was focusing on four ladies art.

But in the middle of her lesson, there was a little intruder. Xia Longshi.

Feeling that her sister and Mom were having a secret meeting, Xia Longshi was forcing himself to join the lesson.

Xia Wushan and Lan Bingyue only smiled seeing Xia Longshi's puzzled face after joining Mingyue's lesson. In the end, Lan Bingyue was letting Xia Longshi join the writing, reading, and calculating lesson.

"Sooner or later, he will have to learn this. So having the lesson a little earlier is fine, right?" Lan Bingyue was reassuring Xia Wushan.

"I am fine with learning a little earlier, but isn't it better for him to improve his physical strength? In that way, I can spend some time together as a fellow man." Xia Wushan was sulking because he didn't have a lot of time together with Xia Longshi and Mingyue.

Lan Bingyue chuckled because of Xia Wushan's sulking face.

"Isn't you are having quality time with Mingyue? Why are you still whining about it?"

"Sigh. . . She is too smart for a little girl. . . I wish she is more like 'Daddy, I cannot do it, please teach me again' with teary eyes and pulling my hand."

". . . " Lan Bingyue only rolled her eyes to the foolishness of this man in front of her.

…

Currently, Mingyue is all alone in her room.

She had spent the first ten days without any changes.

[Based on what Dad is saying, spending the first few days without progress is normal.]

[When someone succeeds in the first spirit connecting phase, something will happen to yourself based on your Elemental. Dad's experience is burning his clothes without feeling any heat himself.]

[Using Elemental is giving a burden to your mind. If so, there is possibility spirit connecting phase is related to one's mind.] Mingyue concluded her observation from her own experience and information from Xia Wushan.

[Let's try it again.]

…

[. . . Hmm??] Mingyue realized that something was changed.

Mingyue felt that she was standing in the middle of the mist. She felt that there was something on her skin, but she did not see anything weird. It is like you felt some sweat, but when you want to wipe it, there is nothing to wipe.

Realizing something, Mingyue immediately calmed herself and began to check her own body. When she opened her clothes, she found a faint of greyish mark on her left collarbone. That was the only foreign thing on her body.

She tried to imagine a fire come out of her index finger. . One breath. . Three breath. . Five breath. . Suddenly a speck of fire came out of her index finger. Even though it didn't last long, it really works.

[If I am not wrong, Dad calls this phenomenon Elemental Awakening. The very first Elemental summoning. I thought it will be extravagant. . .] Muttered Mingyue.

Indeed, she has done a good job in spirit connecting phase.

[I need a little more of thirty days to create one connection. If I want to have ten connections, then how many days I have to spend?]

[Spirit connecting phase is only the first step in this phase. One connection is not enough to use Elemental in everyday need.]

[When one has created one connection, they will be called as early stage practitioner. After creating ten connection, they will be called as spirit user apprentice. The more progress, the more connection.]

Mingyue was analysing the concept of connection. If she had to spend many days like that, then it will be nothing different with cultivating

[. . . Hey, if having fifty noses is helping to absorb more air in the surroundings, then how about making the only nose I have bigger, wider, stronger, thicker, and many more. .] Suddenly remembering the comparison Xia Wushan made to her, Mingyue got a new idea.

[That is right, if I can make my only one connection is as good as those with fifty connections, then there is no need to make another connection! It should be feasible! How genius!] Mingyue praised herself.

After getting a hint, she tried to focus the faint mark on her left collarbone.

…

After having dinner together, Xia Wushan was asking about Mingyue progress.

"Nothing much. I could spark a little fire, but it is only held on for a few breaths." Mingyue tried to hide the fact about her faint mark near the collarbone.

[Since Dad never talks about anything about a mark on the body, this thing should be something irregular. Rather than making him worried, it's better for me to keep it to myself.] Mingyue made her choice to keep a secret.

After that day, she always concentrated Elemental into her little mark. Day by day, that faint mark become more vivid. The shape became more clear too. A not very round dark mark around her collarbone. It looks like a shape of an egg.

Feeling her approach is right, she still continued until now.

[The upside of this faint mark is all I do is only focusing Elemental on this faint mark. Of course, it is a very easy thing to do. Even I can do it while having four ladies art lesson] She smiled in her mind

"Hm. . . It is good to have a progress. Do not rush it, Yueyue. The first connection is very important, as you can fine-tuning your connection." Xia Wushan smiled while trying to give a hint to Mingyue.

"If I can have more snacks, then I am fine with taking it easy." Mingyue was trying to increase her snack portion since Xia Longyi had gone to the Academy.

Tomorrow was the first day of the month of wind aka autumn, at the same time was the first day of the Academy. Because Xia Wushan was unable to return to the domain and Lan Bingyue was busy with the domain, usually Xia Longyi and Xia Lanyue were taking a forced holiday alternately. Of course, the reason was Mingyue and Xia Longshi.

Now Xia Wushan had returned to the domain, Xia Longyi and Xia Lanyue could focus on their academy life.

[Even though I feel sad, my snack is a must] Mingyue remembered her poor stomach rumbling's sound every time she finished her lesson with Lan Bingyue.

". . . Sigh. . . You know eating a little too much is not good right?" Lan Bingyue was trying to lecture her, but Xia Wushan stopped her.

"Having a good appetite is good, but we have a fixed meal time, right? If you are having more snacks, what happens when we eat together? Don't tell me that you want to skip the meal." Xia Wushan tried to reason with Mingyue.

He always believed this girl is a rational thinking. But unfortunately, he was wrong in this part.

"It is fine. In fact, I think I do not have enough meal. So If I could have another snack time, then it should be perfect." Mingyue tried to reason with Xia Wushan with her own reasoning, but ultimately she was shot down. She was being forbidden to have an additional snack.

In the end, Mingyue only came to the kitchen sneakily and had her snack over there. And of course, no one knows except Xia Longshi.
