Chapter 47 The Trail 9

Group 2 & Lin Yu Yan

Lin Yu Yan got back to Peng Ai when the sun set a while back. She notice nothing happened to her and she was just sleeping soundly. Lin Yu Yan made sure the area is safe and caught a few more fishes for Peng Ai when she wakes up.

Lin Yu Yan lays down next to her and sleep for the night.

The next day, Lin Yu Yan woke up to clean and grill the fish. Peng Ai woke up to the delicious smell of fish and saw that Lin Yu Yan has returned and Peng Ai sighed in relief. 'I thought I was left alone again.'

"Good morning, Peng Ai. Sorry, I took so long. Something unexpected happened so I got back when you fell asleep." Lin Yu Yan finished grilling the fish and handed Peng Ai one for breakfast.

"So delicious!" Peng Ai said while her face was stuff with yummy fish. "How did you make this? When I made fish last night to eat, it taste so gross but I was too hungry and ate it all."

Lin Yu Yan explains the process of making the delishies grill fish. "And I have a special ingredient, It's sea salt. It's hard to find. You see that rock?" Lin Yu Yan points at the rock that looks slightly strange but everything in the Unknown Forest is strange.

"The rock was once covered in the great salt seas but for some unknown reason, ended up here in the forest. I found a whole bunch but it seems strange why seas salt rocks are growing here when the forest isn't close to sea. But the salt rocks was able to 'live' off of the unknown forest and they been growing around here." Lin Yu Yan points at different direction to show Peng Ai how the rocks look like.

"Wow! So we can really use those rocks to make food taste good?" Peng Ai eye's glow in excitement.

Lin Yu Yan smiles watching the little girl, "Yes, but just a little, too much will dehydrate the body."

"What's dehydrate?" Peng Ai never heard that word before so she got a little confused.

"It means when the body does not have enough water. Half of the body is made from water so it's going to be harsh on they body." Lin Yu Yan said. Peng Ai was listening carefully and was able to carefully think of ideas.

"Then… can I make water inside of people boil?"

"That's not a bad idea. But their qi may be blocking your own. Plus the body naturally wants to fight off unknown things that enter the body. So their qi will attack yours. If you find a way to figure that out on your own. You'll be unstoppable." Lin Yu Yan genuinely doesn't know if it can happen but it doesn't mean it's impossible. Peng Ai started thinking of ideas on how she can succeed on that idea. But she started thinking about what's the issue with herself.

"Hey, umm… Master? How come people don't like me? My village kicked me out saying I was a monster for killing people. I only saved my village from bad guys but now they are scared of me." Peng Ai asked to see maybe Lin Yu Yan has an answer for that.

"Well… some people are blessed with the power of god. If I'm not wrong, there should be 3 others in our group as well but they could maintain their control."

When Peng Ai heard the word 'control' her expression went down. Lin Yu Yan notices it and it kind of worries her.

"But that is why I'm here. To help you work on your qi better. Plus, it seems the Water God has blessed you with the power, which is why you can control water better then anyone else."

"Then how come you can?" Peng Ai's curiosity didn't stop there.

"Well… It's because I can? Some people are not born with power like you but also want to be strong to protect themselves and others. I was experimenting one day and learned to do it. But, you can do better than me, I KNOW you can do better than me at water control."

Peng Ai was surprised. No one ever gives her the courage to believe, not just the future, but herself. Peng Ai's heart felt super warm.

"Oh, and don't call me master. Just call me by my name. Being call master makes me uncomfortable."

"Yes, Yu Yan!" Peng Ai smiles.

"I have to leave you. You need to find the Wei Ru and Wu Lang. Go on travel with them. I have to send the 'people' in the spiritual space ring home because they haven't eaten for days. They definitely need your help. Go. Don't make too much noise but if creatures shows up, don't hesitate to kill them." Lin Yu Yan makes sure Peng Ai understands. Lin Yu Yan is a little taken back at the childish attitude Peng Ai gives off being the same age as her but it also could mean Lin Yu Yan is too mature.

"Yes! I'll meet up with them!"
