Chapter 39 - Long Xing's Love Towards the Door?

"According to what I have heard, the poison that I was inflicted with was supposed to kill me within one day. But why am I still alive? My master could not figure out why either. Do you know why Long Xing?"

Long Xing just smiled faintly. He took a sip of the tea, as elegant as he could be, and said, "True, the poison, 'Eternal Malum' was supposed to kill you within one day as that person fed you the poison the minute you were born. But, even though the curse was not awakened yet at that time, it was in fact still in your body. The curse slowed down the poison for you which resulted your inability to cultivate and the black mark on your face."

He then continued, "The mark was affected by your emotions. The more tears you shed, the more anger you suppressed, the larger it will be till one day it fill your whole face and you will die. So basically, the Blood Moon curse saved you."

'So it was like that.. But how did he know I was fed the poison the minute I was born? Well he must have his own reason why he is not telling me then.'

Nodding her head in understanding, Jiang Ying Yue said, "I get it now. Thank you. Oh yea may I know how did you hide your mark? Can I learn it too?"

"Don't worry I'll teach you that. I know better than anyone how dangerous it is if anyone finds out about the curse but for now, your strength is still inadequate. I'll teach you after you have reached Qi Refiner Level 5. Oh right follow me I want to show you something."

Long Xing got up, wore his shoe and got out of the house towards the tree he was at when Jiang Ying Yue first saw him.

Jiang Ying Yue was puzzled but she continued following after him.

She arrived at the tree and behind it was misty. She followed after Long Xing to go through the mist and.. what came to view after that was a bit shocking to her.

In front of her was a huge hot spring that could fit 10 persons at the same time. The stones in the hot spring was pure white and surrounding it were thick mist and white pavement.

"Wha- what is this place?"

Long Xing introduced the hot spring to her proudly. "This is called the Aurae Heavenly Spring. Although this hot spring is already a rare existence in the human world, but this one over here is the only one in the world. The one outside only had 10 percent of Aurae liquid but this over here is the original. How did it end up here? I have no idea as well. But what I know is that the ones outside which amounted to less than 10 hot springs in the world, the liquid was taken from this one. Back then, this hot spring was in the Moon Empire way before I was even born but then it somehow ended up here."

'So the one master owned was not even more than 10 percent as potent as this? Oh my...'

Long Xing did not wait for her to ask. He immediately said, "You may have your bath here after you cultivate or when you are injured. You will be healed in no time for superficial injuries. Don't worry you'll be protected by the mist here so no one can see you."

He made a slight smirk when he said that.

'Damn this devil! As if he wasn't unrealistically beautiful enough!'

"Alright I got it."

Eyes opened wide, Long Xing suddenly said, "You may plant any spiritual plants in this space and it will grow much faster and better than the outside world. As usual, the stronger you are, the faster and better the plants will grow."

"So I can do that too? Great! Hahaha I won't be starving in case I ever got lost hehehe"

The corner of Long Xing's mouth twitched ever so slightly. 'So all she could think about is she won't be starving?'

"Alright if there is nothing else, I'll teach you how to use the door to my house cause if not, you won't be able to enter it. Then I'll go back outside."

Long Xing nodded and they went back to the house. Jiang Ying Yue registered his thumbprint and taught Long Xing the code and how to use the keyless smart door.

The entire time, Long Xing focused on everything as if he was taught the most valuable knowledge in the world.

Well, to Long Xing this was the truth. The lock was so good that if that was used in the world outside, no thieve could enter anyone's house ever again.

When Jiang Ying Yue asked him to try it, he tried it like an eager child. She was just hoping that he would not play with the door all day long which.. unfortunately he did the minute Jiang Ying Yue was gone.

Jiang Ying Yue reminded him on how to use the switch button for the lights and air conditioner in the hall, his room and bathroom. She was told that this world could change into night just like the outside world so she did not want him to live in the dark.

After everything was done, with a thought, she appeared back on her bed in her room.

Looking outside, the sky was starting to get brighter. The maid was not coming anymore since she could prepare her hot bath by herself. She did not want to go the godly space back so she prepared her bath on her own.

By the time she was done, the sky was already bright and she went to the dining hall to have breakfast. Yan Hua was not there and she ate alone. She already prepared for it and today, she was not going to read her alchemy books at the pavilion.

She went back to her room and with a thought, woooshhh! She disappeared and appeared in the godly space.

What came to view was... Long Xing scanning his thumbprint, entered the code, closed the door and did the same thing again.

She did not know whether to laugh or cry. This devil was too cute ah!!

"Ehem hi Long Xing." She greeted.

The man flustered and immediately turned to look at her. His face turned slightly red. He embarrassed to death!

"Oh hmm hi. I am going to enter the house now. With that, he scanned his thumbprint and entered the code as fast as he could and entered the house and locked his room as if Jiang Ying Yue was a ghost chasing after him.

Jiang Ying Yue just shook her head and entered the house as well.

........

'Fuh I can do this. Just enter the room for goodness sake.'

Jiang Ying Yue was currently in front of her room. She was nervous to enter her own room as she was afraid that everything was just a dream. She would think that she was back in her previous world if she enter this room.

'Alright whatever.' She turned door knob and entered her room.

Standing in front of the door, she saw everything was the same as before.

Her bed, her vanity table, her closet everything! It was just the way she left it before she went for that one-way trip.

She traced everything with her hands as if she could not believe everything was real. Her room was really big. It took almost half of the second floor.

She changed her clothes to a more comfortable modern t-shirt and shorts and went out of her room to the study room carrying the alchemy books given by Yan Hua. For a moment, she forgot Long Xing's existence.

Jiang Ying Yue scanned her thumbprint and entered her 2 floors study room that doubled as a library. It was brown in color and she even had her own personal lab in it.

She sat on a reclining chair just beside her wooden book rack and started reading.
