Law Of Creation

…

"Big sis, can you not go?" Xia Longshi's eyes were blinking cutely at Mingyue.

"I can't, little dumpling." Mingyue could only smile at Xia Longyi, who was hugging her tightly in the carriage.

Mingyue didn't wish to leave Xia Longshi, but the Academy was mandatory for her. Seeing Xia Longshi turned deaf to her words, Mingyue could only smile wryly and tried to coax Xia Longyi.

"You little dumpling, we can meet again when the holiday comes. And next year you will go to academy too, so we can meet in there." Mingyue coaxed Xia Longshi slowly as she was combing his hair.

"…. Then, can you lend me Xiao Jing?" Xia Longshi finally revealed his d.e.s.i.r.e as he took a peek at her.

Hearing Xia Longshi's word, Xiao Jing, the black and white kitten suddenly jumped back from Mingyue's l.a.p and hissed at Xia Longshi. Mingyue laughed a little as she could only try to reason with Xia Longshi.

[I cannot possibly leave Xiao Jing too]

"Xiao Jing will follow your big sister to Academy. Your big sister is scared of being alone you know?" Mingyue smiled while combing Xia Longshi's hair using her hand. "Next year, after you come to Academy, you can come to see Xiao Jing"

The relationship between Xiao Jing and Xia Longshi was not very good. Well, it's more like Xiao Jing don't like his way of playing with her.

The last time Xiao Jing got mad is because Xia Longshi wanted to burn her. Maybe it sounded overboard, but his reason was kind of cute. He wanted to paint Xiao Jing's body with black colour, and he remembered that most of the firewood will turn into black after being burnt.

Seeing Xia Longshi was pouting again, Mingyue could only pat him again on the way to Star Royal City. Yup, it is the return journey to the Star Royal City and Mingyue would enrol to Academy in a few days.

Now Xia Mingyue is 7 years old.

…

[This last two years hard work was very fruitful. And all of it began after my meeting with Xiao Jing. You could say it is a blessing in disguise.]

[Xiao Jing was born from Elemental from spirit with a part of my soul. Yes, a part of my Immortal Soul.]

The first phase of Spirit Brand is something similar to meeting between heaven and earth. Creating a connection between two, Spirit Brand is created on Mingyue's soul and on her body.

After that, it is something similar to nurturing. Infusing Elemental into Spirit Brand will make the maturation process shorter each time infusion. When Spirit Brand cannot accept any more Elemental infusion, that would mean the maturation process was already done.

Next step was called Spirit Egg Creation. The spirit egg in the Spirit Egg Creation is condensation between Spirit Brand, the one Mingyue pulled out from her body, with Elemental from the spirit from her surroundings. When the egg hatched, it would create a new life. It is literally creating a new life from the spirit egg, thus it is called Spirit Egg Creation.

[Of course, I hadn't tried to create more pet, but maybe soon.]

And the last step was the second phase of Spirit Brand. It would transform spirit egg into the new life form, or it should be.

[Like I said I haven't tried it again. I will have to find a time to make another familiar later in the Academy.] Mingyue smiled as she was thinking of a plan.

[Ah, that's right. There is the summary of the after-incident of that day. Even though that day was very dangerous, I gained many things. Well, the only exception was Dad become Mom's hitting bag.]

[The next day after that accident, Grandpa and his people had finally killed the whole pack of Gray Wolf. There were some people wounded and even heavily wounded, but fortunately, no one was killed in the fight. Of course, every time Grandpa saw Dad, he would definitely go on a rampage. As result, Dad always went into hiding every time Grandpa return.]

[For Mom, I think she was mad. Every time Dad met her, his smile didn't look like a smile. Maybe Dad was a henpecked husband? Dad never asked me about what happened that night, and he had been keeping it a secret from Mom.

[Dad, you are my hero. I am moved by your sacrifice. I will never forget your sacrifice!]

[Little dumpling suddenly fell in love with Xiao Jing at the first sight. Maybe you could say he fell in love with cute things and Xiao Jing fulfilled all his criteria. Day after days little dumpling has always been chasing Xiao Jing.]

[Big brother Longyi returned twice, both at the month of the water aka winter. Each time he returned, he would bring a different girl. Are all of them my potential sister in law? It's not like I have 'sister in law preference', but why both of them dressed like a man? Big brother. . Just be careful. . .]

[Big sister Lanyue only returned once, in the month of the fire aka summer last year. We didn't have much conversation as big sister was in a hurry. If I didn't wrong, she was having a field trip to Wolf Forest with her friends. Of course the big one.]

…

"We almost arrived." Lan Bingyue, Mingyue's Mom, smiled after she saw Xia Longshi like this.

[May I have your help please madam? He was heavy after all. . .] Mingyue gave a pleading eye to Lan Bingyue, but unfortunately, she pretended not seeing Mingyue's signal.

[Mom was insisting to come together with little dumpling, with a pretext of sending me off. Of course, she left her administrative works into Dad. Good luck Dad. Since that accident or more like the trouble I created, Mom had become harsher to Dad.]

Arrived at Star Royal City, the carriage immediately went to Xia family mansion as usual. When the carriage was getting closer to the mansion, Mingyue could see an unknown middle-aged man was standing in front of mansion's door as if he was waiting for Mingyue and company.

"Brother in law." Lan Bingyue bowed down her head a little when she gave her greeting to the unknown middle-aged man.

[Then that means he was my uncle?] Mingyue was surprised because the middle-aged man's expression was more like an annoyed face, unlike Xia Wushan's gentle face.

Nodding his head, then Mingyue's uncle was looking at Mingyue.

[His face was not as scary as Grandpa, but it is still scary.]

"You are little girl Mingyue? Your grandfather asked me to keep my eyes on you." Mingyue's uncle was giving Mingyue a glaring expression. His eyes narrowed a little as if Mingyue had some kind of debt to him.

[Hey, I didn't have a problem with you Stop glaring your eyes at anyone without a proper reason you know?] Mingyue was a little annoyed by her uncle and wanted to lash out, but she just calmed herself.

Seeing Mingyue's face that was pouting, Lan Bingyue tried to break this awkwardness between Mingyue and her brother-in-law. Unfortunately, it was a futile effort.

[In the end, Mom brought little dumpling to explore the Northern Area, shopping district. Well, I refused her invitation with the pretext of tired. Of course, Xiao Jing stayed with me.] Mingyue walked into the room she used the last time she was in the Star Royal City.

…

[In her lecture a few days ago, Mom reminded me of the existence of big families and Royal Family.]

["Try to avoid them." That was what Mom told me. Maybe there was some underlying sentence here.]

[There was four big family, Xia family, Shi family, Zhang family, and Yao family. This four family had been contributing in the military aspect, especially fending off the invasion from the Earth Kingdom many years ago. Four families had always been in the same position, an equilibrium was created for many years. But that equilibrium was destroyed a few years ago.]

[There were some hints of that event. For example, Grandpa's withdrawal from his position. Mom didn't tell me the detail, but she said that Xia family is in losing position these years. Even the kingdom's ruler didn't seem particularly concerned.]

[And Mom was repeating that I am not allowed to get close to Royal Family. Since I wanted to explore this world later, it's better to not got tangled with those big power.]

[Another example, Shi family was allowed to form their own personal army. Normally those from big family only allowed to form a guard corps, to protect their own domain. But with a personal army, domain around Shi family domain would felt threatened.]

[Some other family other than four big families now tried to take over Xia family's position. Fortunately, Grandpa's existence was carrying a big weight in some higher up in the military. No one dared to play a trick, of course except those big families.]

[I was really interested in Grandpa's identity. Don't tell me that he was Kingdom's protector. . Hahahaha. . .]

But unknowingly to Mingyue, her guess is very close to the truth.

…

"Big sis, can you leave little kitten to me?" Xia Longshi asked Mingyue while eyeing at Xiao Jing.

Seeing Xia Longshi getting closer to Mingyue as he was still eyeing at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing jumped out of Mingyue's embrace. Their interaction is like a hunter and the hunted.

Giggling, Mingyue just told Xia Longshi her usual answer.

"..Yueyue, you will live in Academy's dormitory. Remember to always take a bath. Don't forget your lunch and dinner since you have to go to the cafeteria. If you feel hungry, you can get some food outside Academy, but don't leave education district since it is forbidden. You could go to another district every ten of days, for example, day 40 and 50. Of course, you have to obtain a teacher's approval before. But make sure to never leave alone, always group up with others. You have to choose your friends wisely, don't get too close to those bad apple. Mom will not forbid you to get close to a commoner. Don't stay out too late and don't make problem with your friends, or maybe Mom should say don't make problem to your friends later. If there is a problem in Academy, you can find your big sister Lanyue and big brother Longyi. But you can't depend too much on your big sister since she is rarely staying at Academy, so you will have to depend on your big brother." Lan Bingyue told me with a stern face.

[She was such a worrywart, it's not like I was a little kid.] Mingyue was speechless of Lan Bingyue's long speech.

"I am not a little kid anymore, Mom." Unconsciously, Mingyue pouted

Lan Bingyue continued her words after chuckling a little, "Yes, yes, you are already a young lady. The only thing your Mom fears is you suddenly disappear in the night." Lan Bingyue tilted her head a little while touching Mingyue's cheek. "There is a curfew time in the dormitory, you know?"

"Don't worry Mom, as long as I don't leave girl's dormitory, everything is fine right?" Mingyue gave Lan Bingyue a convincing smile.

[My smile is convincing, you know?]

". . . Fine, I will trust you, little lady." Lan Bingyue came closer and hugged Mingyue.

[Mom's smell is good.] Mingyue felt the comfort in Lan Bingyue's embrace. Even though she didn't want to part with Lan Bingyue, she had to eventually.

"Xiao Shi, say goodbye to your sister. We will go home." Lan Bingyue said at Xia Longshi, who was chasing Xiao Jing around.

". . . Big sis, bye bye. . ." Xia Longshi said his goodbye.

[Then why are you looking at Xiao Jing and not me?] Mingyue wanted to roll her eyes. But because of Xia Longshi cuteness, she didn't mind it.

Mingyue waved her hand to Mom and little dumpling until she couldn't see their figure anymore. Now she was left alone.

[Well, this is my Academy's life. . .] Mingyue muttered with a low voice as she turned her body and entered the Academy's gate.
