Chapter 12 - My Calming Tea? Are You Crazy!

Her song makes Yun Tai feel intoxicated. He remembers at the hotspring her voice had surprisingly lulled him to a deep and peaceful sleep.Sleep eluded him since he left the lowlands almost a week ago.

If XiXi could read Yun Tai's thoughts she would be in stitchAfter a war he is plagued by nightmares of all the demons he has slain and is unable to rest peacefully. But, yesterday in the hotspring he was able to reach the tenth level of restorative slumber.

 Is she an enchantress? Is that why FengTian is so smitten? If so I must expose her to him. Over the years I have dealt with many seductresses and never given into desire.es. She wasn't even a runner up in the local Miss Banxu County and two of her friends were judges!

XiXi is floating on a cloud... so relaxed. She wanders through the garden picking vegetables she recognizes. The berry incident remains fresh in her mind so she is very careful, asking FengTian what a few of the plants are.

The Gemini Twins are resting on her shoulder as she gathers the ingredients for dinner. When she thinks she has collected an ample amount, she throws some hibiscus in the basket also and turns to Feng Tian.

Her voice is unusually gentle as she calls to him, "Feng Tian, I'm going to make you something mouth watering delicious for dinner! Let's go into the kitchen."

Feng Tian sits at the stone table watching her flit around, her hair is starting to loosen and tumble down. Zhang XiXi seems so carefree at the moment.She is being so sweet and adorable. Even asking me about the vegetables.

Little does either one of them know it is because she drank a cup of Yun Tai's treasure tea. It's effects had not fully kicked in yet so at this point she simply feels extremely relaxed.

Yun Tai furrows his brow, I need to know more about the little seductress, FengTian is my best friend after all. He sits on a rock with his long legs crossed deliberating about how to approach the situation. I also want my spirit pets back! I am not finished releasing my negativity. How dare the woman just carry them off!

Feng Tian is in the kitchen with XiXi , she ask him if he wants another cup of the calming tea. It was so delicious, I think I will.

He didn't drink the first cup the taste of the tea was too sweet, so he replies no. But, he is enjoying the way she is treating him so he is just hanging around XiXi.

If he wasn't so captivated with this docile and sweet version of XiXi he would have realized something was amiss.

XiXi finds some noodles in the cupboard, it is rather well stocked. This is only because Yun Tai's sister Yun LingLing knew he would be back this week.

She begins stir frying the vegetables and wonders if she could find some chili peppers in her father's Dimensional Space. How would I access it? I heard him chant a few words and it appeared, maybe I should try. This food definitely needs a dash of spice.

XiXi walks back to the room where her father is sleeping followed by Feng Tian She tells Feng Tian to roll him onto his side.

Feng Tian is a bit hesitant but obediently follows her instructions.

She is feeling quite bold at this moment and chants the words opening the space. She excitedly claps her hands then reaches in and pulls out some spices. Afterwards,she carefully places the Dimensional Space back into his sleeve.

XiXi and Feng Tian lazily stroll back to the kitchen and she liberally seasons the vegetables.

"Feng Tian, do you know if there is any meat?"

 He chuckles, the little beauty is getting quite used to ordering me around haha..

" I will go and check"

He flies into the woods and notices a wild boar, no that would be too much, she would be suspicious. He sees two pheasants by a large tree and immediately sends a wave of energy in a palm strike instantly killing the two plump birds. Feng Tian quickly returns to the kitchen with two pheasants ready to go.

"Wow! Pheasants ? I've never cooked one but..hmm...okay I will give it my best." XiXi tugs on the top of her dress, "Feng Tian is it getting hot in here?" XiXi face is flushed red and a wave of heat engulfs her body.

"No, maybe its because you are standing so close to the fire"  I think it is rather cool this evening.

"That makes sense, give me the pheasants. I'm going to wrap them in these leaves with spices they should be done in a bit"

The savory aroma in the kitchen drifts out to where Yun Tai is sitting still contemplating his next course of action. Who is cooking?Tian doesn't need to eat.

Yun Tai's curiosity overwhelms him and he hurries into the the bamboo house. Also, he is starving and whatever is cooking smells delicious.

Yun Tai comes through the outer room then heads to the kitchen. What he witnesses makes him wonder what the hell is going on here.  Tian's woman is holding a spoon for him to taste something and Tian is smiling like a lovestruck idiot.. My spirit beasts are nestled in the girl's hair. Outrageous! 

He coughs and both of them turn in his direction. Feng Tian gulps down his saliva because Yun Tai told him to leave earlier. Shouldn't he be in seclusion?

" Yun Tai!" Ah... what brings you here?

XiXi gazes at Yun Tai, he looks a little blurry,"Do you know this man, Feng Tian"

"He is a friend of my brother's you met earlier."

Yun Tai glares at Feng Tian with a bone chilling gaze. A friend of your brother's? I can't stand that guy! Why didn't you say I'm your oldest and best friend?

XiXi smiles brightly, "Oh. you should stay for dinner then."

Feng Tian's eyes flicker in astonishment at her soft tone. Who are you Zhang XiXi, this gentle you is beginning to scare me.

XiXi wonders why Yun Tai's voice seems familiar.

Yun Tai sits down at the table and XiXi asks him if he would like some tea. He looks over and his eyes are filled with rolling flames, That's my tea I use to interrogate people! Feng Tian you just drugged your woman! Within an hour she will tell you every secret she has!

While XiXi is by the stove dropping the noodles in the boiling water Yun Tai grabs Feng Tian's collar and yanks him out the door. The murderous aura surronding his body is so intense even Feng Tian is affected. Tian what are you up to?" He growls in a threatening tone. "Are you crazy?"

Feng Tian misunderstands, "What do you mean? If you give me a chance to explain, we just need to use your house for ten days. I thought you would be in seclusion!"

"No...well... I need to know more about that later. I mean you just gave her my tea that I use to get information from people. I got tired of torturing people and I had my Master make this tea for me. It cost me 25 crystallized Seven Layer Snake eyes he needed for an elixir!

Yun Tian wants to throttle him, you should really stay out of other people's things!

He explains, "First, the person gets very relaxed and calm, almost as though the world is perfect around them.Then they start feeling very warm then their eyes glaze over and all they can say is the truth. It lasts for about two hours then they can't remember anything."

Feng Tian now knows why XiXi has been acting so strangely."It said calming tea! How would I know!"

XiXi peeks her head out the door and sweetly says, "Come on in dinner is ready"

Feng Tian and Yun Tai come inside and sit at the table while XiXi brings over the noodles with the vegetables and sliced pheasant.

Yun Tai kicks Feng Tian under the table and says only loud enough for him to hear," Don't talk while we are eating."

XiXi sits down across from Yun Tai and taps her chopsticks while deep in thought. I really feel I have met him somewhere... but that is impossible.

Yun Tai savors every mouthful, this is the most delicious meal he has had in fifty years. The pheasant is moist, melts in your mouth and has a refreshing lemon herb flavor. The vegetables are spicy and compliment the tender noodles.

He looks up from his bowl to see two of the greenest eyes he has ever seen staring at him. He felt like for a moment his soul could be sucked away by the dazzling orbs.

XiXi suddenly blurts out,"Were you at the hot spring yesterday"

Yun Tai doesn't want to get into that so he says "No, I just arrived this afternoon, Why?" Oh no... I asked her a question.

"Well your voice sounds like a man who held a knife to me yesterday and pressed his body on me. I felt a very strong sexual presence coming from him when he leaned into my neck. But, it couldn't have been you I don't sense that desire right now.

"..."

Yun Tai chokes on a noodle. "This meal is very delicious I don't think I have ever eaten any food with this spice."

Right then the two spirit animals look at Yun Tai, both of them shaking their heads. Master, what did you do to this girl.

XiXi picks at her food with her chopsticks then she gets an overwhelming urge to start talking. In trancelike state she begins to ramble.

"Right now looking at you both I feel I have met you before in a dream I had a few days ago. It was the night before father I got thrown into this world. I forgot about it until I looked across the table at you two. "

She stares at them, her pupils dilated to the point her eyes look pitch black. "You were both standing on a cliff wielding shining silver swords and I was standing in a circle of fire chanting a spell. The heavens were full of lightening and Mythological Beasts were attacking from all sides. I had chains on my body that felt like they were constricting my very soul. Red seemed to be everywhere. I was wearing a red robe and my arms had red lotus designs appearing up them. Right before I woke up I looked up to see your brother Feng Che riding a red Dragon through the clouds.

At that moment XiXi falls over onto the table unconcious and Yun Tai has a complicated expression on his handsome face.

never expected Yun Tai to be here, shouldn't he be in the cave cultivating.

" Yun Tai!" Ah... what brings you here?

XiXi gazes at Yun Tai, he looks a little blurry,"Do you know this man, Feng Tian"

"He is a friend of my brother's you met earlier"

Yun Tai gstares at Feng Tian with a bone chilling gaze. A friend of your brother's I can't stand that guy! Why didn't you say I'm your oldest and best friend?
