Chaptre 04. The Five Elemental Technique.
After preparing clothes for her son, Xue Mei waited at the dining table made of stone, she sat on a chair made of bamboo, and stared out the window.
Not long after, Xiang Tianzhi walked out of his room, he was wearing a simple Hanfu model outfit, black with a white waistband. The clothes that Xue Mei had prepared were quite fitting with Xiang Tianzhi's tall body.
Xiang Tianzhi looked at his surroundings, it turned out that the two of them were living in a hut, one bedroom for two, a dining room mixed with a cooking room. One entrance entrance, one stone dining table and two bamboo chairs, a small window was on the roof. In the bedroom there is also only one table two chairs, and a two-door closet that is not too big, there is also a window.
Xiang Tianzhi sighed with sadness at seeing their lives become like this, from a certain person to a fugitive of the Xiang Kingdom who was hunted like an animal.
'I'm sorry Xue Mei!' inner Xiang Tianzhi was apologizing for the owner of his original body, because the real Xiang Tianzhi had made Consort Mei a fugitive and frightened in these 3 months.
Xiang Tianzhi saw his mother daydreaming, not realizing that her son was sitting in front of him. Xiang Tianzhi looked at Xue Mei's natural face, without make-up it was already very beautiful.
'Any, why from the memories of Xiang Tianzhi's body did not feel that he was his son and also not the son of king Xiang!' inner Xiang Tianzhi who saw no resemblance of himself and also king Xiang.
Xiang Tianzhi wanted to ask and disperse the daydream of Xue Mei, but that intention he paused, because Xiang Tianzhi did not want to shock Xue Mei.
'I don't care ... Who am I and who are you! But for sure, I will protect you!' inner Xiang Tianzhi with determination to protect Xue Mei with all his might.
"Eh! Since when are you here?" asked Xue Mei who was startled her son was already in front of her, she saw Xiang Tianzhi's face growing brighter and fresher, and was stunned when Xiang Tianzhi's pores of the body were nowhere to be seen, refined like a Jade stone that had been polished, even she was ashamed as a woman when compared to Xiang Tianzhi.
"Handsome!" xue Mei muttered involuntarily.
"If I'm not handsome, it's not Xue Mei's son, dong!" xiang Tianzhi replied in jest.
"Eh! Ahahaha! Yes, of course, you are my son!" the laughter of Xue Mei who was able to tear down a city, was beautiful and unsightly.
Xue Mei blushed in embarrassment who had unconsciously been fascinated with her own son, seeing her embarrassed mother, immediately Xiang Tianzhi saw a simple dish on the stone table. There is one plate of vegetables and some fish, rice, white round bread containing meat (bakpao) and one roast chicken.
Crutches...
Xiang Tianzhi's stomach was roaring, a sign of him being extremely hungry. Hearing the sound of his son's stomach, Xue Mei laughed again and immediately cut the roasted chicken and placed it on the plate belonging to Xiang Tianzhi.
After enjoying lunch, Xiang Tianzhi came out of the hut and saw not far from the residence there was a clear river. Their place was surrounded by hills and forests covered with bamboo trees.
"We are in the Bamboo Hill Forest, far away from Donggi City," said Xue Mei who came out of her small hut and tightly hugged Xiang Tianzhi's arm, which was the one she was in, he missed his son who had been in a coma.
Xiang Tianzhi looked at his mother, quite tall as a woman, 180 cm tall, slender and well-groomed body, thin arc-shaped lips, small but pointed nose, wide eyes with thick eyebrows make her face more attractive and beautiful. Her breast size is 36B, quite large and challenging, worthy of being a favorite concubine, and a struggle for any man, because she is still young, 35 years like a 20-year-old girl.
"Oh yeah, other than Mom, I don't remember some of the things I've ever known!" said Xiang Tianzhi who did not know.
Xue Mei let out a sad sigh of restraint, she slightly looked up to see her son's face. "Let's sit there, I'll tell you where we are, who is the leader ... And whatever you want to know."
Xue Mei was holding her son like a lover and heading towards one of the big trees in front of the hut, it seemed that Xue Mei had intentionally made the hut close to a large and lush tree, with an invisible purpose.
"The region is controlled by Donggi City, its leader named Li Jiancheng of the Li clan. His strength was at the level of a stage 2 Golden Core. His habits are bad, oppressive the weak and attract high taxes to businessmen and commoners, the most disgusting he is a same-sex lover, let alone find a child or young person your age is definitely arrested. However, despite high taxes, all entrepreneurs still want to pay taxes, because in Donggi City is free to do business legally and illegally. All the evil is there, not only in Donggi City but everywhere there is evil, except in the Royal Capital of Xiang...!" Xue Mei told Xiang Tianzhi everything patiently, because all this time she had no interlocutors, so she was enthusiastic when she spoke.
Within the Empire's structure, Donggi City was a city of Nobel rank, the lowest rank within the Empire. Its area coverage is also limited, covering only 100 km. The distance from the hideout of Xue Mei and Xiang Tianzhi took 3 days on foot, it was conceivable how difficult it was for Xue Mei to escape from the pursuit of the army.
Donggi City under Chevalier. Chevalier's rank led several cities to the rank of Nobel, and the rank of Nobel had several villages for him to develop and lead. Above Chevalier are Baronets, and Baronets themselves under the Baron government, including Chevalier and Nobel. In the Dongyun Continent, rank names were also as their titles, in order to be easily recognized. One example of the leader of Donggi City, called Nobel Li Jiancheng.
In addition to government structures led, and overseen directly by the Empire, there were some outside the governmental structures, such as sects and colleges of martial arts. Especially for the sects and martial academies, they did not take care of government affairs, only focused on educating and developing weapons technology, pill concoctions, spiritual formations and nurturing ferocious beasts as assistance for their members.
"In this continent, there is a competition held every 5 years, and the participants are free from any circles. Generally, participants who follow aim to be more easily recruited by the Kingdom, Sect and Academy, without having to take difficult and rigorous exams. His competitions include, Martial, Alchemist, Array Formation, Blacksmith, Beast Tamer and Literature. Participants are at least 17 years of age and a maximum of 30 years of age, and the minimum cultivation base of Foundation Establishment level, participants can choose one of them according to their ability...," Xue Mei told him clearly and lingered for her son to remember.
In addition to the prestigious competition every 5 years, there was a competition held once every 7 years, a special competition for kingdoms, sects and academies. The two competitions are the hope of every people and young generation, because of prizes and positions, if you become a champion, you can certainly support the future to achieve wealth, power and strength.
Finally Xiang Tianzhi understood all the things in Dongyun Continent, and was interested in both the competitions in Dongyun Continent. But she did not reveal to her mother, worried that her mother became sad and anxious.
Xue Mei who accidentally touched Xiang Tianzhi's wrist was shocked, as her consciousness saw her son's dantian had recovered, and without speaking, looked at Xiang Tianzhi, gawking mouth and wide eyes.
Xiang Tianzhi who knew, wanted to laugh seeing his mother who was like seeing something strange.
Cup...
"Gee!"
Xiang Tianzhi kissed his mother's lips and startled Xue Mei as he closed his mouth and looked away, looking Xue Mei's face red and smiling afterwards. For a long time he had not kissed this most mischievous son. It was common for Xue Mei to be kissed by her son on the lips, but this time it felt different, as if she was in love with a man.
Soon Xue Mei threw away all the negative thoughts in her heart, she did not want to love her son like a lover. Xiang Tianzhi had no idea what his mother was thinking, as he was thinking of an initial plan to survive this life.
"Have your dantian returned to normal? How the hell did you do it? Is there anything that helps you, when I'm not there next to you?" cecar Xue Mei was curious about her son's dantian that had recovered.
"If you ask me, I ask who! I've been in a coma all this time!" xiang Tianzhi replied with a frown, pursing his lips.
Xue Mei smiled happily, looking at her son like she used to frown when asked a lot of questions, the anxious Xue Mei pinched her son's lips and hugged tightly.
"It's a miracle after the disaster! Son, even if your dantian has recovered, please do not take revenge. I am happy even if I am only here with you. This place is peaceful and safe from the pursuit of the Royal army!" Xue Mei was happy her son was recovering and could cultivate again.
But, he was also worried that his son would take revenge, so he reminded him of his promise. Xue Mei wished that she could stay in the Bamboo Hill Forest until she was old with her son.
Xiang Tianzhi kissed his mother's hair and spoke softly afterwards. "Mother, can the weak take revenge? Sure, can't. Even though I can cultivate again, is the current strength able to catch up to them? Sure is impossible. So, whenever I'm gonna be with Mom, it's just Mum the one I have and I love."
Hearing her son's words, Xue Mei was clearly delighted and shed tears. Xiang Tianzhi stroked his mother's hair and saw water running down the river. Unaware Xiang Tianzhi was daydreaming, and he did not know if his mother was sleeping on his lap.
"When!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi who wanted to start cultivating, upon seeing his mother fall asleep.
Xiang Tianzhi immediately practiced the Five Elemental Technique so that he could cultivate by absorbing the natural energy. Had his dantian not been damaged, Xiang Tianzhi would no longer need to activate the element root, just modify it.
