Chapter 344 - Returning Home Part Two

A month had passed and they had already gained three of the four herbs needed for Ah Chun to gain an older body permanently. The last herb was detected by Bao Chen when they came close to the blue planet in front of them. "This world..." Ah Chun looked at the city streets below that had cars going to and fro.

"You know this world?" Bao Chen asked.

"I have seen it many times… I am not sure if it is the same one from my memory but… Arghh!" Ah Chun's head began to pound. Her head was hurting so much she couldn't help but yell out. Memories she never had before were flashing through her mind one after the other…

'Ai, you can't run that fast!' 

'Chunchun, you are just too slow.'

'Ai, don't tease Chun'er she has always been on the weak side.'

'Wei'er you always defend Chun'er am I, not your sister too?' 

'You are both my sisters and as the older sister is it only right that I protect you both?'

The images in Ah Chun's mind were of three little girls. Each one looked slightly different but you could tell that they were sisters. What confused Ah Chun was one of the little girls looked just like her. Again she thought. It was happening again. The memories continued on but this time the girls were all in a white room laying in beds. 

"Mother, will we ever get better?" 

"In time you will. You three have to be strong for Mother." 

This scene was familiar except this time Ah Chun was not alone but there were the two girls from before in the same room as her. The woman's face was blurred out but from her tone of voice, you could tell she really cared about the children. Ah Chun could feel a sting in her heart just hearing the woman's voice. 

The memories slowly subsided and the pain in Ah Chun's head slowly began to fade. Bao Chen who was standing at her side showed no signs of concern. He only looked at Ah Chun as if he was observing her. 

"Better?" Bao Chen asked.

"Yeah, sorry, just had a weird spell..." Ah Chun replied. She has seen many scenes of a little girl who looks like her many times but she does not understand why she keeps seeing these images.

"She's awakening faster than expected..." Bao Chen Mumbled to himself.

"Master, did you say something?" Ah Chun asked as she adjusted her robe.

"No, let's get this herb and get you looking older." Bao Chen said with a faint smile. He knew the time was not right to explain things. He knew Ah Chun had to figure these things out on their own.

Bao Chen easily recovered the final herb. He and Ah Chun sat on top of a mountain that sat in the middle of a large mountain range inside a cave. "We will rest here for now. Do you have any clothes that will fit a taller you?"

"Ummm… I do have some of my mother's clothes that I got for her that I can wear..." Ah Chun replied. She had never thought that she would ever have a chance to gain an older looking appearance, so she never prepared any clothes to fit a taller her. But she did at least get quite a few sets of clothing for her mother. Luckily her height and figure as the older looking Ah Chun was about the same as her mother, Mei Liling's height and figure. She only needed to modify it to account for her tail.

"Alright after I refine this pill, I will step outside while you take it. Come out when you're done changing." Bao Chen said as he began preparing the herbs. 

In no time at all, Bao Chen had successfully refined a pitch black pill. He held the pill in his hands and smiled before tossing it to Ah Chun. "I will leave the cave. You will need to strip down to nothing and take this pill, from there the pain you will feel will make you want to die. Good luck." 

Bao Chen left the cave and even sealed it with a large boulder to keep anyone from peeping in. Ah Chun did as she was told and took off her clothes. She placed them neatly on the ground and then sat on top of them. Taking a deep breath she popped the black pill into her mouth. Almost instantly pain shot through every bone and muscle in her body as they all shattered at the same time. Ah Chun did her best to repress the urge to scream out loud. The feeling she was feeling now, she was no stranger to. It was no different than the medical bathes she took before. 

Four hours later the rock to the cave slowly opened. A young girl around seventeen to nineteen years of age stepped out of the cave. Her long black hair fluttered in the breeze, her white robes dancing along with it. "Oh, ho? Not bad, not bad… Still lacking in the front though." 

"Master, can you not act like an old pervert?" Ah Chun glared at the old man who was staring at her stroking his beard. 

"How is being honest being a pervert!? Anyway, now that you look of age you can now go marry that little boy you told me about and have a few babies with him." Bao Chen gave Ah Chun a teasing smile seeing how his words made Ah Chun's face turn bright red.

"Humph let's go, the air here is stuffy..." Ah Chun chose to quickly change the subject as she jumped in the sky and took off. She had found over the past month she could not win a single argument with this shameless old man.
