Law Of Creation

Chapter 36 - Mingyue's Fatal Weakness

[Too much! There was a lot of sudden information!]

[What was this Royal Family schemes!]

[Since when Xia Family had a glorious ancestor?]

[What is those Witchie things! It didn't make sense !!!] Mingyue wanted to shout it loud, but in the end, she could only swallow those words back. Mingyue could only drop her shoulder as she relaxed her body a little.

"Xiao Jing, are you awake?" Mingyue tried to ask Xiao Jing via telepathy.

Since Mingyue lost her consciousness many times in these days, Mingyue didn't have the chance to check on her familiars. Both of them should be in the weakened state after those hard work and also because she had no chance to supply them with Elemental.

". . . Have you awakened already?" A weak voice could be heard in Mingyue's mind.

Mingyue smiled unconsciously as she missed both of them. "Un. Are your body okay?"

"It's better than before. . . But I don't think I could go out anytime soon." Xiao Jing tried to hide the fact that she needed an Elemental infusion from Mingyue to recover her body.

Mingyue obviously realized it, but she pretended that she hadn't realized it.

Mingyue chuckled a little and talked again, "Don't worry, at least now I could circulate some Elemental. Recover your and Xiao Wu's body first."

". . . Fine. . . " Xiao Jing followed Mingyue's instruction in the end.

Xiao Jing wanted to let Mingyue recover her body first, but the thought of the danger they had overcome, made Xiao Jing hesitate.

[If I am unable to protect my owner, it would be the same as losing my life.]

[If I am that useless, then I will need to prove my own worth.]

[That I could protect my owner, my Master.]

"Is Xiao Wu okay?" At first, Mingyue was worried of Xiao Jing because she continuously using Elemental to support her movement technique.

But Mingyue just realized that even though Xiao Wu hadn't had the chance to cultivate, Xiao Wu had overworked her own body. Don't forget the fact that Xiao Wu's body was essentially filled with Elemental. Since Xiao Wu was the same as Xiao Jing, her condition should not differ too much.

". . . Yep. No need to worry. She never had the chance to work-out. She just had some muscle-ache." Xiao Jing answered casually.

"After you recover, we will continue your cultivation. Xiao Wu also included." Mingyue told Xiao Jing her plan. The escape plan.

Since the graduation holiday only lasted for a month, Mingyue only had a short and time. If Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu, both of them were limited in their capability, then Mingyue would be really dead the next time she encountered the similar situation.

Mingyue could survive thanks to the idiot assassin that was playing around with her. And in the end, the assassin fell into the trick that Mingyue had prepared.

". . . Your condition?" Mingyue was imagining that Xiao Jing knitted her brow as Xiao Jing asked this question. It was a cute view, a little kitten with a knitted brow. Unfortunately, this little kitten was too prideful to be petted by her.

"Don't worry, I could handle it if it were only for the two of you. When you are not cultivating, I will try to condense the third Spirit Brand as my Elemental's reserve." Mingyue smiled as she was explaining Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu's training plan for this holiday.

". . . Don't break your body." Mingyue could feel a little care from Xiao Jing. It has never happened before, so Mingyue was very surprised. Then Mingyue chuckled a little.

[Maybe this near-death experience made the relationship between Xiao Jing and me become better and closer. And for the first time, she didn't against my cultivation training plan for her.] Mingyue felt happy with the current progress. After Xiao Jing was receiving Elemental infusion from Mingyue, Mingyue didn't disturb Xiao Jing anymore and fall into deep thinking.

[ 'I never said that Witch is strong'. What did Mom mean by this sentence? The ability to store Elemental into the body was very important and useful. It was no wonder that they were hunted as experiment's subject. With more Elemental, people would have a stronger destructive ability.]

[But one of the signs of Witch was their weak and feeble bodies. The weaker the bodies, their close-combat abilities would be limited, or you could say it was nil. They could become a Great Spell User at the very least, right? There was almost nothing I know about Witch. Sigh, just leave it for later. Since my body was weak, I would depend on Xiao Wu to run away and I would depend on Xiao Jing for detection and sure-kill blow.]

[Nah, let's think about it later. Their recovery must be done as soon as possible or my plan would go awry.]

In the end, Mingyue spent the whole month of the water aka winter in her own activities. The new terms of the Academy would begin at the eleventh day of the month of the earth aka spring, so she planned to return to the Academy exactly one day before the new terms.

Mingyue's recovery was considered slow, even though Xia Longyu had hired a lot of healer from Mercenary Guild.

In a bad sense, most people in Star Royal City would hear the news about her condition. Or more like the 'kidnapping' incident

". . . Hey, did you hear?"

"Ah. . . That incident right? The one from Xia family."

"Damn, General Xia is so overbearing! Even tried to kidnap a large number of the healer."

"Fortunately General Xia didn't dare to be too overbearing in Star Royal City. You should look at the other cities."

"Why? Don't tell me General Xia didn't spare any healer at any other cities?"

"That's what I hear. I just come from Rising Sun City and the mercenary there was void of healer."

"Seriously! General Xia is that overbearing?"

"Sigh. Even if it for his granddaughter, there is no need like that, right?

"That's right, that's right. . ."

"Yeah. . General is too overbearing."

"The Royal Family didn't say anything?"

". . . Do you think they dare to do it?"

"Isn't General Xia should give a face to the Royal Family?"

". . . If General Xia had given a face to the Royal Family. If not, maybe this place would be void of healer too, right?"

"Ah. . ."

...

A healer is a Spirit User that well-versed in healing the wound and increase recovery speed of the patient, in this case, was Mingyue. Since the capability of a healer was limited, Xia Longyu immediately 'kidnapped' a bunch of them.

Of course, they were paid generously, but no one would like to be 'kidnapped' by this scary old man. It took Mingyue more thirty days for her to be able to walk around the house.

But the slow recovery speed of Mingyue was upside down with her familiars.

At the next day after Mingyue told Xiao Jing about the cultivation plan for her and Xiao Wu, both of them was able to come out of Mingyue's body. Since Mingyue didn't wish for other people to know about their existence, Mingyue told both of them to go to Wolf Forest to cultivate.

Mingyue also gave Xiao Wu the rusty necklace. As long as Xiao Wu didn't need to completely conceal her presence, a small amount of Elemental should be enough to sustain the rusty necklace. Since Xiao Jing could use Shadow Step, Xiao Jing could conceal her own presence. Xiao Jing only needed to divert some guard's attention, so Xiao Wu could slip away undetected.

At first, both of them were unwilling to leave Mingyue. Xiao Jing believed that she was necessary to deter any kind of danger that was about to fall to Mingyue.

On another hand, Xiao Wu didn't want to leave the wounded Mingyue alone. Xiao Wu even wanted to accompany Mingyue while l.i.c.k.i.n.g her wounds until it was healed. After some time of persuasion, the two familiars gave in to her. A gentle smile could be seen on Mingyue's expression after she saw their shadow disappeared slowly.

Their cultivation's result was not shabby, Mingyue was really thankful for that near-death experience.

[Thank to that experience, these two little hatchlings finally grew up a little.]

Xiao Wu was learning Shadow Step from Xiao Jing, since Mingyue's intention was teaching the movement technique to Xiao Wu.

In meanwhile, Xiao Jing was trying to find the most efficient way to handle Elemental. Fortunately, since Xiao Jing had been coached personally by Mingyue before, Xiao Jing understood some of the basic principles of Elemental usage. In this way, Xiao Jing could last much longer than that event. And sometime Xiao Jing would send the result of their cultivation via real-time video recording.

Mingyue was satisfied with their training result. But remembering their limited time, Mingyue urged them to keep refining their Elemental manipulation skill.

[My limitation in Elemental was fatal enough to kill us many times. Moreover, both of them need my supply of Elemental continuously if I wanted them to continue cultivation. Sigh, I really need more time, it was too short.] Mingyue closed her eyes while analysing her weakness. In fact, there were a lot of her weakness, but there were at least three fatal weaknesses.

[Sigh, there were at least three problems that I have to solve. My limitation in Elemental, the delicate and feeble condition of my physical body, and I have never seen the fighting capabilities of the expert in this world, or in other word my knowledge about the expert.]

[The Elemental consumption was definitely unarguable since both of little girls would need them for cultivating or combat purpose. Well, I won't let Xiao Wu go into combat.]

[The only solution I have currently was the suggestion from Mom, store the Elemental. Condense the third Spirit Brand, but only use it as Elemental's reserve. Maybe I will have to condense the fourth one, but I feared that there would be some risk. Moreover, I don't have enough time currently.]

[The condition of my physical body was connected to Over-usage of Elemental. For other people, their limitation in using Elemental was their mind couldn't handle the heavy burden and it would affect their physical body. And unfortunately for me, it was reversed. My mind should be able to handle the burden of using Elemental, but my body wouldn't be able to hold on. I don't know what to call, shiny white treasures or a pitch black hell.]

[And the third problem was my knowledge about this world. The only fighting scene I remembered was the first time I went to Star Royal City. Those guards versus that tier-2 Fierce Beast. But it was far from enough! I haven't seen the highest usage of Elemental. Well, except Mom. I remembered that Big Brother was aiming to be a great Spell User.]

[The danger lever around me was too high. Sigh.]

[After the escape plan commenced, I should be a low-key person.] After a long monologue in her mind, Mingyue finally opened her eyes.

Mingyue was currently lying on her bed as usual. Beside the bed, there is Lan Bingyue who was standing, and a healer that was 'kidnapped' by Xia Longyu. Currently, the healer focused on Mingyue's wounds. But when Mingyue received the Elemental from the healer, Mingyue immediately diverted the Elemental from the healer into the condensation of Mingyue's third Spirit Brand.

[Since their training was pushing the limit of my Elemental infusion, I couldn't spare any Elemental to create the third Spirit Brand. But unexpectedly, my body was unconsciously absorbing those Elemental from these bunch of healer.] Mingyue chuckled evilly in her mind.

[Is it Mom's plan? If so, then do I really have the Witch Bloodline?] Mingyue wore a smile on her face, but she was puzzled in her mind.

The healer seemed to hesitate a little. "Err, Madam?"

Lan Bingyue only glanced on the healers. Ever since that conversation about Witch, Lan Bingyue had been very overprotective of Mingyue. Lan Bingyue almost lever left Mingyue alone in the room, especially when a healer was scheduled to heal Mingyue.

Feeling the awkwardness, the healer could only continue his word, "Her condition was not very good, and from this humble observation, this young lady's physical body was in a very weakened condition. After a long time of healing process, her body was showing a very little recovery. This should be because of her body constitution. Moreover, there were some traces of Over-usage of Elemental. Maybe Madam should try to go to Apothecary Guild for an expert's help?"
