After Feng Che leaves, Feng Tian wonders why the Ice Block would want to come along with them on this journey. Brother has never interested in women so it probably isn't XiXi. He only cares about power and maintaining the balances between the different realms. He is a stickler for the rules seldom deviates from what the elders want.
While Feng Tian is thinking about what just transpired a tiny fist pounds on his back. The little Sorceress was able to tear my barrier, that's strange. He waves his palm three times in her direction and XiXi falls into his back.
When she bumps her nose, she lets out a wail, "Feng Tian! Why did you put some sort of barrier around me?!? Tell me, are you a sorcerer like my father?" Frankly, she felt he was more than he appeared and that brother of his, besides his outstanding looks, let off a chill that almost froze her to the bones.
"What did I miss? Are you able to escort my father and me?" Her curiosity outweighs her rage at this point." And where is my father I want to go see him immediately."
Feng Tian replies, "I'm coming with you. I told you I could persuade my brother" Now might not be the best time to tell her my brother is coming also.
He casually tells XiXi as they walked towards the house. "Your father has been sleeping, we can go to his room and see if he has awakened."
When they arrive at the room Zhang Yu is still sound asleep. XiXi feels something isn't right but his breathing appears normal.
Feng Tian tries to set her mind at ease,"He was probably exhausted from being thrown into this realm since he is just a third grade Sorcerer It takes quite a bit of energy to cross over space and time" I am getting so good at lying thinks Feng Tian, I am believing the untruths.
"Why am I all right?"
"Your father probably protected you from the harsh conditions using his body as a shield. I estimate he should awaken in the morning." The acupuncture I used on him is effective for two days if you want the truth. No, she would just throw something at me.
"Okay, I won't worry then for now. Where is that tea you said is calming, I will brew some for us. I'm feeling really stressed out about now. Brrr..Your brother really has a cold and intimidating presence.
What is she saying, their language is very unusual, stressed out? Feng Tian gets the teapot down from the top shelf of the cupboard and chuckles, strange girl.
"I'm getting rather hungry too, do you think this place has any food or a garden with vegetables?" She is too mentally tired to ask all the questions that are filling her mind with chaos. Maybe if I eat and relax I could find some sort of peace for the moment.
Feng Tian isn't that bad he is willing to help ... I should try to be nicer to him. He just always seems to make me feel agitated. We have some time to prepare and this house is actually rather beautiful in it's simplicity.
She wraps her hand around the warm teacup and takes a sip of the fruity tea. Sipping the tea she feels refreshed. What is this flavor I have never encountered it before at the tea shop. Although my friends and I usually drank milk tea this is making me feel so warm inside.
I should just try to make the most of this until we need to leave for the journey. While she was brewin the tea Feng Tian wandered off somewhere and the tea is getting cold so she decides to see where he went.
She finds Feng Tian out by the garden holding something fluffy and white in his hand. When she approaches him it jumps into her arms startling her, but she isn't scared for some reason.
Ahh..soo adorable like one of those plushie key chains I have on my purse at home. She pets its furry head and can't help but giggle, "Little guy, you are so cute!"So soft and fuzzy, is this what they call a spirit animal? It has two tiny eyes that seem to be sizing me up.
"Feng Tian does this little creature have a name?"
Squeak, squeak squeak...
"I think it is trying to tell me haha"
Feng Tian looks at the smiling girl in front of him playing with Yun Tai's pet and is surprised the furball let her hold it. Besides Yun Tai and him the spirit pet doesn't like anyone. Even Yun Tai's sister LingLing can't get it to like her and she tries to spoil it every time she comes over to the bamboo house.
"There are two of them so I don't know where the other one is, probably chasing some insects for a snack. They are called Gemini White and Gemini Whitest don't ask me why, the man who named them is very strange."
Feng Tian thinks about when he tried to dissuade Yun Tai pointing to their white fur. "They are both just plain white Yun Tai!" Thinking of his friend he has a slight smile, No one would believe that the merciless defender of the realm cherishes two small white furry spirit pets.
This playful side of XiXi comes as a surprise to Feng Tian. She seems very relaxed like she doesn't have a care in the world. It is as though she was born in this house and playing with a spirit pet is just a normal activity.
Her cheeks are a bit flushed and she is talking slower than usual, but he likes this side of XiXi. She looks like a fairy holding the white furry spirit animals to her chest and walking through the garden.
Behind the rare blue peonies across the garden, a man's eyebrows twitch and clenches his fists watching this harmonious scene. Yun Tai was too restless to start cultivating immediately so he came to the garden where it is peaceful to play with his spirit pets. He needs to release the built up negative energy from the Demon War before he can begin to cultivate.
It is his well kept secret that these unique spirit pets are able to absorb his negative energy and let him release the darkness within him. They happily condense it into nothingness and never are affected by the negative energy. They were a precious gift from a Sorcerer 550 years ago when he had saved him and his family from a Demon attack.
Gemini White jumped down a few moments ago and rushed to this side of the garden so he came to retrieve the disobediant furball.
What he sees is a fairy looking girl gliding through the garden holding Gemini White. That is strange... my spirit pet doesn't like anyone... why does it look so happy in her embrace?
Yun Tai stands frozen in place while he attempts to sort out what he is seeing. Feng Tian's girl...she looks different from the hotspring. I hadn't really looked at her closely before tossing her onto the chaise and leaving. She really is quite a beauty which explains Feng Tian's pampering behavior I suppose. I wonder in what realm Feng Tian found the little fairy.Tian really isn't one to look at women, he always wants to go on adventures and experience the wonders of different realms. Many women try to catch his attention I wonder why she is so special for him to bring her here.
As Yun Tai stares at XiXi she begins to sing a song to the spirit beast in her arms while petting its fur. Her mesmerizing voice sounds gentle and the melody floats through the air to him.
Suddenly Gemini Whitest struggles out of his hands and flies across the garden into her arms.
