PLOP PLOP

Water was dripping from the bucket. The bucket was attached to a rope and the rope was attached to the arc on the top of the well. The well was positioned in the woods and in front of it was a girl.

"Haa"

The girl put her hands on the rope and exert force to lift it up. But her strength failed her and the bucket returned to fall in the badly illuminated well. The girl looked around.

"Ki... manipulation... "

Noticing that no one was looking at her she said in a monotonous and calm voice. Then she extended her hand and from it blue gas spread toward the rope.

SWISHH

Suddenly the rope started rotating at high velocity and in no time the bucket was in front of the girl. The girl then proceeded and with a movement of her hand the bucket floated toward her gently and landed in front of her. She suddenly retracted her hand and the gas disappeared with no sign of it ever being there. Then she turned back and looked as if someone was coming from behind the trees.

The girl name was Bing Yu Xue, this year she became fourteen years old. She was the adopted daughter of the Wan clan patriarch. Her hair was waist long and silky, it's color was black. Her face was always covered by a white mask that would only let her eyes seen but they were deep enough to make up for the lack of other details. They were usually deep blue but sometimes they would vary the shades of blue to become sky blue. They are eyes with a thousand and one shade. The skin that stuck out from her sleeve was white as if she was a piece of ice but it was also extremely soft. A true piece of art.

After some minutes from behind the tree a figure walked out.

"Meimei do you want a helping hand? With your blocked meridians it should be difficult to lift it. "

(A/N Meimei is a cute method to say 'little sister)

The figure was a young man, probably sixteen year old. He had unkempt hair and a Savage handsome face. But his Savage face was betrayed by the benevolent and kind smile he showed toward Yu Xue. He had a build of a lean and sculpted martial artist.

Yu xue in the past lived in the middle of constant dangers, wars and vicious people, the only happy period of her past life was the period when she was with her master and her sisters. Yu Xue in this lifetime wanted to have a simple and happy life so she blocked her own meridians when  they tried to control the aptitude. It was very easy for someone who knew every little particle of one's body. But she knew that strength was better to have than to lack, so she amplied her Ki reservoir in case of danger. She made sure that no Ki went to nurture her body as to make it the more hidden possible. It is known that a Ki nurtured body would be at least five times stronger than a normal body so it would be strange if it went without no one noticing.

"Elder brother... doesn't have... to worry"

The young man in front of her was her elder brother.

Yu Xue was still expressionless but deep in her heart she was touched. When she came to the Wan clan she was accepted by the patriarch of the Wan clan, Wan Luo and his only son Wan Qing. They treated her like their own family and this made her extremely grateful in her heart. In her past life she never had a good family and when she became seventeen years old they died because her father wronged a famous elder of the Noble Spear Sect. When they died she didn't become sad instead she only felt indifference. Only two years later did her master find her. 

"I already told you to call me Gege! I also want my little sister to call me Gege like my friends"

Wan Qing was a straightforward and childish person, if he wanted something he would say 'Give it to me!'. But this was one of the charms that made the girls of the clan squeal everywhere he went.

"Elder brother... this little sister... doesn't think... she can call you... like that"

Although she didn't really mind calling him Gege, but if some of those girls heard her they would certainly request revenge, so she insisted to let their relationship distant. No zuo no die.

(A/N "No zuo, No die" " 不作死就不会死" means that if you don't do something stupid nothing bad will happen to you)

"You are so hard to convince, meimei! At least let me help you with the water! "

Wan Qing said with a frown. The real reason why he wanted her to call him Gege wasn't to boast in front of his friend but instead it was a more pure reason. It was because he wanted the distance between them to reduce.

"It seems... this little sister... will have to disturb... elder brother... "

Wan Qing smiled broadly when he heard his little sister remark. He went toward the bucket and with little to no effort lifted it, then he turned toward his sister and looked toward her proudly as if asking to be praised.

"Thanks... "

"Anything for my beautiful meimei!"

When Wan Qing said 'Beautiful' Yu Xue frowned and her gaze became sharp. A shade of fear appeared in her eyes.

"How can elder brother... know that I'm beautiful... ? I don't think anyone... other than aunt Wan Shunu... saw me... so I could be a monster. "

Yu Xue inquired. She was very afraid, did anyone else see her? If it is true then that could create problems and her peaceful life would be disturbed. But Wan Qing answer surprised her.

"Xue'er, to me you are beautiful more than anyone in the world. And I, Wan Qing, dare anyone to say the contrary! "

Yu Xue heart ached because Wan Qing was direct and straightforward, but she didn't say anything about who she really was. This made Yu Xue feel guilty. She wanted to scream and say to her family who she was  but knew that it will do no good. At least she had aunt Wan Shunu to speak with about some of her secrets.

"Meimei let's g.. AAHHHH"

Suddenly a scream that could scare ghosts and vengeful spirits out of their mind came out from Wan Qing mouth.

THUD

 Wan Qing fell to the ground and no sound came from his mouth anymore. Yu Xue rushed to her brother, slight panic could be seen in her beautiful eyes. She reached Wan Qing and fell on her knees. She put her hands on Wan Qing jugular and pressed her tiny middle and index fingers, after some seconds she sighed a sigh of relief and retracted her hand.

Bing Yu Xue looked around attentively for some seconds then turned toward the fainted Wan Qing and put her right hand on the left side of the white collar of her robe and pulled it toward the left.

Under the robe, white untainted skin could be seen. The more she pulled the collar to the left the more skin could be seen, until a blue and red drawing appeared on her beautiful shoulder.

It was a miniature drawing of a flower and a sword.

The flower had innumerable petals, these petals were sky blue. The flower was attached to the protection in the hilt of the sword. His stem intersected with the sword, going in and out of the sword as if they were one being. The stem stopped before the middle of the blade and was planted in the blade like how a flower is planted in the dirt. The sword was white, even more white than the skin of Yu Xue, it was thin and had double edges. The hilt had only the right protection, the protection was attached to the flower. It was truly incredibly beautiful, an union of nature and art.

Yu  Xue touched the drawing and blue dim light was being emitted by the sword and the flower. Suddenly a hilt started emerging from her shoulder. Yu Xue started pulling the hilt while gritting her teeth. Her normally expressionless face started showing pain. Beads of sweat covered her face.

The sword was almost all out and one would see that the sword was identical to the drawing in Bing Yu Xue shoulder. The only difference was a set of words on the middle part of the blade.

Ice Goddess Dream.

After the sword was all out, the drawing on her shoulder completely disappeared as if it wasn't ever there. Yu Xue panted heavily because the action was immensely painful. If someone else did it they would certainly at least faint from the paint.

Yu Xue lifted the sword and put it I  he air above Wan Qing.

"Emit... "

Yu Xue soft voice ordered and the sword as if it could listen to her orders flashed with blue light. The light rapidly enveloped Wan Qing body and disappeared in his body.

Yu Xue remained there kneeling in front of her brother until Wan Qing body flashed again but this time the light rushed toward Yu Xue.

When the light finished entering her body Yu Xue with a wave of her hand made the sword disappear.

"Poisoning... Snakes... Venom..."

After some seconds of analysis her soft voice resounded in the area.

So yeah I had written this like five days ago but didn't have the time to post it 0.0

Also I saw someone speaking about Against The Gods, I personally didn't read it but people keep saying that it have some stuff in common with my Everlasting Ice Mistress fiction, so I will try reading it and outdistance myself from its plot.
