Chapter 8 - Revealing My Ability

yesterday was really refreshing, I not only slept like a baby but also ate like buffalo. I really don't wanna go back now.

with a determined look, Erha stood up then went toward the sea, before he sets 5 steps closer, a hand holds his wrist

" where are you going? it's dangerous " he points with his finger ahead, after I concentrated in that place, I saw purple-like flames and blurred eyes hidden behind the waves. it was waiting for me to get closer to it, probably one more step and I'll reach her range attack.

"What did you wanna do?" asks Li Xiang

Li Xiang always treats me well not only did he show me his secrets but he entirely trusted me, at least I need to share something?!

"I wanted to purify the waters," I say, it then got to me that he can't understand me, I can only show him

I make signs with my head requesting if he can grab for me, some water.

" ok," he says simply before heading to the waters.

did he get it? even I honestly doubt my language sign, the next thing to happen made once again speechless, the guy split the sea unto to halves walked slowly toward the monster with the purple flames, grabbed it from its tentacle then came back carrying it.

"here"

"He really didn't get what I said !!! what would I do with an ugly big octopus ?"

I go back to the tent grab a bottle of water then go back, I point to the water in the bottle then at the sea.

" you want water? "

I nod, he takes the bottle from my hand empty it directly then goes back to the waters, is this guy serious? doesn't he know the importance of water in these times, even if you're a local tyrant you learn to be modest and not to be wasteful.

I take the bottle and put the pearl directly in, Li Xian just watched calmly with no attention to ask.

the water was gradually clarifying, that after 8 seconds it already returned to its original state, Li Xian was still observing with no expression on his face, 1 minute later the water started emitting energy naked to the human eye and Li Xian instantly recognized it, spiritual energy; simply put it is the conversion of heaven and earth origin energy, that generates true essence, spiritual energy helps replenish stamina, purify the Qi, or strengthen the meridians.

this was figured by some martial artist after 3 years passed from the beginning of last days, then creating some breathing techniques to help absorb it faster, but I never saw liquid ones.

Li Xiang was impressed and choked but he maintained his demeanor and focused on the bottle, noting the changes it even went to never leave sight of the bottle for 1 hour, Erha couldn't take it anymore so he starts reprimanding "that does it !! I don't care about your observation session, I'm hungry and I demand food!!!"

" ok, don't be angry, after breakfast I'll teach you some Chinese "

I finish eating turn around to the sea, just about to stand but two hands behind me pined my shoulders back down

" Chinese lessons"

"Seriously, can't you see I'm fighting for a great cause here?!"

"Chinese lessons" repeats Li Xiang

...

finally, my brain was about to burst, when was it the last time I studied like this? back to business, I'm going to clean these waters whether he wants to help or not I don't care, I'll just throw the pearls randomly, and the rest will be done by itself.

" here it comes, the huge amount of imagination cumulated through the 25 years of my life."

...." ahahah" 'sniff' ..."sniff" ...' hiccup'....

Li Xiang who returned from taking care of chores, heard the crying, murmuring, and wailing, he was flabbergasted, with the mental power he always paid attention to Erha, and the whole time he was just sitting in the sand, looking at the sea .... why cry suddenly??? does he miss his home overseas?! is it the reason ? after all he's a foreigner by himself in a strange land...

Li Xiang was never good at comforting, though he gave it a try, after all, he can't let his kitten crying all these pearls, it might hurt his eyes .he sits beside him then stays quiet with no clue how to start the conversation, he then remembered seeing people giving others flowers to brighten the mood, so he takes a red rose from his space and gives it to him, in the other hand Erha who was already at Level 3 of crying was confused

" what is this scenario ?! am I being confessed to by a man?!! "

author: (sorry to intrude your reading time, just let me explain real quick, Erha's first Level of crying: is tears coming down one by one without making sound

Level 2: the speed of tears coming down is getting faster with sniffing and hiccuping sounds.

Level 3:bayby mode crying out loud of his lungs, the speed of crying is super fast.

Level 4: delusional mode, hugs himself while rocking it, in his own world external voices won't be able to wake him up (x3 super speed)....

of course, he'll stop once he's tired).

"for you, so stop crying," says Li

"huh? is this to comfort me? why give a rose?"i already stopped crying but tears were still stuck between my lashes, one tear was sliding down when Li brushed it away with his finger making it turn into a pearl, his face was so close to my face and I felt myself burning.

" what do you like, I'll give it to you, ok, no more crying "

" chocolate "

"huh?"

" i said I want chocolate "

"ok"

'did he understand me ?'

I look back to the bunch of pearls on the ground then shake my head 'whatever, now I can concentrate on throwing these precious to the sea, next wait for the changes tomorrow .'
