Law Of Creation

"I understood that you are more suitable to be a standard Summoner since your physical body is weak. Far too weak, if I have to say. But why did you have to make a little fish? Isn't that too weak?"

Ever since Liao Yun and Fu Tao defeated the whole pack of Iron-Skinned Rhinoceros, Liao Yun always talked about Mingyue's summoned beast.

At first, she was angry because she thought that Mingyue hid her real strength. Well, that was true, but Mingyue wouldn't admit it no matter what happened.

Of course, Mingyue showed her summoned beast, and that made Liao Yun tongue-tied because her summoned beast was a little unexpected.

"We already have one fish user, why did you have to have another fish? Why don't you make another like a cat or dog? Isn't it more suitable for your little stature?" Liao Yun rolled her eyes because she definitely felt that a fish wouldn't be a good choice for Mingyue's summoned beast.

[Summoning a meat tank would be more useful], was what in Liao Yun's mind.

"You are definitely wrong." Mingyue didn't think anything wrong since her Yin Yang Fish was not her trump card.

"What? Now you are learning how to talk back at me?" Liao Yun knitted her eyebrow.

"I am not summoning a fish."

"Then what the heck am I seeing now? A gorilla?"

"A pair of fish."

". . ." Liao Yun wanted to flip up, but she was held back by Fu Tao.

"Well well, let's stop the pointless argument hahaha. Summarizing what our little ancestor wanted to say, why don't you summon something big and strong to protect you? For example a bear. Even if you will not receive Blessing of the Totem since you are not our tribesmen, summoning a similar bear wouldn't be a problem right?"

"Not enough Elemental," Mingyue replied with a flat voice.

[I am having a hard time providing Elemental, and I don't want to waste anything else for something useless.] Mingyue rolled her eyes, but she wouldn't tell them.

Ever since she learnt about Familiar Possession, she realized that she would definitely need a bigger amount of Elemental's reserve. Since the source of Elemental must be obtained via her original body and that was the only way, she would have to think hard about how to split the Elemental usage. Xiao Jing, Xiao Wu, and her. And she hadn't counted Xiao Ming since he didn't grow these four years.

Gazing at the small stature of Mingyue, Liao Yun could only sigh. She believed that her choice to leave the settlement was right because her main reason was to take care of the unreliable Mingyue.

It was an open secret that Liao Yun always took care of Mingyue for the whole four years in the settlement. From hunting food, preparing a meal, taking care of her own body, and the most important part, Mingyue never forgot to attract trouble. The recent example was the accident of the Purple-Patterned Bee. That was not the first trouble that Mingyue created, and Liao Yun would have to take care of the aftermath.

Thinking that Mingyue was going to leave the settlement, she felt anxious. She herself didn't realize that she had grown too close with Mingyue, and she didn't think that Mingyue would leave the settlement.

[Heck! If I leave her alone, I don't know what kind of disaster she would attract!], was what Liao Yun thought.

And that was the reason why she was having a fight with Fu Tao, to receive the permission to leave the tribe. Fortunately, she could run away from the tribe. Even though the existence of Fu Tao was unnecessary, in Liao Yun's mind, of course, she would think of him as her assistant, her follower, and her partner-in-crime.

Fu Tao was her black sheep.

At least when she returned back at the settlement, her punishment would be divided with Fu Tao.

But what made Liao Yun puzzled was that Fu Tao was willing to help her, even if that would make him left the settlement. No matter how hard she thought about it, she never found the answer and she wasn't interested to think about it anymore.

[Well, this guy is always timid. It is good to have a follower.] Liao Yun smiled as she walked together with Mingyue and Fu Tao.

From far, she could see the edge of the forest. Finally, they left the unnamed forest.

…

"Hey, little Yue. Can you tell me about the outside world?" Liao Yun was lazing around after filling her tummy.

After coming out of the unnamed forest, Mingyue and company found themselves surrounded by the rocky area. It was akin to a barren land. Without changing the direction, Mingyue kept walking to the 'sacred' direction. Of course, Liao Yun and Fu Tao didn't say anything since they thought that Mingyue really knew the way.

And as the usual activities, they never continued their journey when the night arrived.

"What I know is only the old knowledge. Do you really want to hear the old story?" Mingyue was fine to tell the tale about the outside world, but what she knew was only a minuscule amount. She didn't learn much at the Academy and later she focused on her survival skills. If Liao Yun knew that Mingyue didn't know a lot of things, she would be very embarrassed. She had her own pride.

Seeing the expectation gaze from Liao Yun, Mingyue knew that she couldn't refuse anymore. "Fine. Let me tell you first, it is the old story."

Liao Yun was already prepared to listen, while Fu Tao immediately added another wood to the fire. Both of them were eager.

"There are three big powers out there. Of course, it is the only three I know. The Fire Kingdom, Earth Kingdom, and Water Association. The Fire Kingdom is known for their fertile land, making their apothecary guild prosper. With the Royal Family as the top family, there is a ruler. Of course, the ruler will be from the Royal Family. I don't want to say too much about the Fire Kingdom since there will be some revolution over there."

"The Earth Kingdom was known by their nobility system and slavery. Of course, they are well known for their smithery, but the matter of slavery is much more well-known there. If we are going to the Earth Kingdom, make sure to always protect ourself since the slave trader will definitely use any kind of trick to sell us as a slave. Make sure to remember this point."

"Water Association is a little different from the other two. It is built from the cooperation of a lot of merchant houses. Even if there is no ruler, they are led by something like counsel. I don't know what it is, but there are a few important people that could make the decision for the whole Water Association. Similar to voting, I think?"

"The outside world is not as peaceful as you think, but it is interesting. You can see many things and meet various kinds of people. And maybe you can meet a high tier Fierce Beast and converse with it."

Mingyue stopped the conversation since she almost dozed off. It was the time for her sleep.

Xiao Wu immediately went closer and became Mingyue's convenient bed.

Looking at the combination of little girl and little deer in front of her, Liao Yun became envy. But there was nothing she could do since the deer was Mingyue's pet since for many years.

Since she couldn't do anything, Liao Yun immediately pulled the animal skin as her quilt and went to sleep.

Fu Tao could understand Liao Yun's feeling from her sight, but there was nothing he could do. Having a bitter laugh, Fu Tao just lit off the fire and the silence return to the surroundings. There was only the sound of blowing dust from far as he was being spectated by the star in the sky.

Even though the girls had already slept, he didn't lower his vigilance to the surroundings while continued his daily training.

No matter where he was, this was the only thing that he wouldn't miss. For the untalented him, the only way for him was hard work.

He wore his tower-shaped shield and began to punch the air.

Left punch, right punch, left punch. . .

[I am untalented and weak.]

[I am only nobody compared to the talented her.]

[Akin to a day and a night, she is dr.a.p.ed in glory, while I am covered in the dirt.]

[But she is the only one for me!]

[She is my destination! My cause! My light!]

[To be able to stand on the same stage as her, I must not lose!!!]

In the middle of the woods, Fu Tao's shadow kept moving all night.
