Far in the north of Ming Yue's place, inside the throne room.
King of the Fire Kingdom's Point of View
[What happened!] Exclaimed a red-robed person that was sitting on the throne.
Dressed in a red robe, adorned with a golden line at the front side of the robe. One could see a faint fire mark was dancing on the surface of that robe.
He is the king of this kingdom.
As the highest ranking person in the Fire Kingdom, he felt that there was something wrong with the spirit in the surrounding. Their density suddenly decreased, rapidly. His sudden action combined with his fierce expression was scaring most of his ministers. He was usually a calm ruler without many changes in his expression, with the exception of the present time.
But some attentive high ranked minister and general have realized it already. There was something wrong with spirit around them.
"Left Protector, receive my order, immediately bring the second division of King's Guard and first with the second battalion with you. Go to kingdoms border, station your army there. We do not know what happen, but kingdoms safety must be protected. Right Protector, receive my order, together with third division of King's Guard, protect castle's surrounding." Swiftly, the King gave order effectively and efficiently.
King's Guard is a high ranking army that made an oath to always to protect him, the King of this kingdom. Unlike the normal army, they will not be deployed until the King itself is in danger. And now, not only the king was in danger, but he also feared that the kingdom is also in a big danger.
"General Shi, receive my order. Escort Royal Alchemist Mei and her team, investigate this accident. No, this calamity" The King finished his sentences with a frown.
The density of the spirit is possible to decrease or increase, but this is the first time he heard about the density of spirit decrease so fast. More than half of the original had disappeared as he gave the command.
"Call every people that are not in this room. It is a written order" The King took a glance to the side, to a eunuch.
Written order. An urgent call for every big family in Kingdom. The last time, the written order was used is at the time of Earth Kingdom's invasion.
"I receive your order, Your Majesty" Bowed the eunuch. Realizing that this was an urgent matter, he did not dare to slow his pace.
After the eunuch left the throne room, only King and Crown Prince were left.
"Is it that so urgent, Royal Father?" Crown Prince was confused as it was the first time he saw the King's nervous expression.
"You are still young and inexperienced, so no wonder you will not understand." The King said softly. He didn't realize that my face is very tense and could break down anytime.
[Sigh. Is he really not realizing the state of the Fire Kingdom itself?]
"We all know of the spirit's existence that is always around us, like an air. Their number, or their density, it is possible to increase. The otherwise is also plausible." The King tried to explain to Crown Prince slowly.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
"While the spirit's density was decreased, it is impossible for its density to decrease rapidly. Yes, it is a very dangerous situation. But as long as we can get information or even the smallest hint, at least we can find the solution. But the danger does not lie in the sudden drop of spirit's density. Do you understand what I mean?" The King watched the minute change in the Crown Prince expression.
After a moment of silence, Crown Prince suddenly frowned. "Is Royal Father meant is, this Kingdom will be invaded? Isn't it…"
The King cuts his sentences before the Crown Prince hasn't even finished his words
"Our enemy in the light, or our enemy in the dark. Both of them are our Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom's enemy. Never let down your guard, our Kingdoms enemy will strike when we show our weakness.." A thick killing intent emanated from the King's gaze.
"…. I understand Royal Father." With a solemn expression, Crown Prince immediately imagined a situation where this kingdom's enemy was invading this kingdom.
"Come with me, son. We should always be prepared for the worst. We would wait for their news in Royal Spirit Palace. There was something we have to do" The King stood up and went out of the throne room, followed by the Crown Prince.
[Royal Spirit Palace. The forbidden palace where our kingdom guardian spirit, royal spirit, Flaming Spirit reside. Only in disastrous danger, we could use it. A spirit filled with citizen's prayer and belief.] Crown Prince muttered softly.

Mingyue's Point of View
Meanwhile, Ming Yue was having her lunch. Unlike before, her appetite now is very good. She could even smell some delicious food's smell that she was not eating.
Ming Yue tossed those thinking and refocusing on her earlier experience.
[Smooth. . . Far too smooth. . . Better to check it out rather than feel sorry later.] Ming Yue was surprised by the result of the earlier tempering. She didn't expect that this will work this smoothly.
Quickly finishing her food, even though she is not full yet, Ming Yue refocused her attention.
[Eye. . .Check. . . My vision for detailed things. . . Okay. My vision for long range things.. Even though I am not sure how far that is, my long-range vision is also strengthened.] Ming Yue continued her observation.
[My whole body. . . Hand and feet. . . Still mortal body. . . From five senses, if the vision is taken out. Then…] Suddenly, Ming Yue realized that something was wrong.
[No wonder I feel hungry too fast, my smell sense is also enhanced. Well, just take it as a bonus. It will not hurt to have more.] Ming Yue sighed softly.
[I indeed do not like troublesome things. Rather than that, I was more disturbed by the fact that my body would be getting fat. My old body did not need any food intake, absorbing qi is all I need and all done. But now, not only food necessity but also I am easily attracted to any good smell.]
[But on the positive outlook, I am sensitive to any scent of danger, like killing intent, dangerous and poisonous substance, and I can feel those with bad intention to me.]
[Not good, not good, it's better to control my smell sense.] Attracted to another food's smell, I stopped my overly sensitive smell.
[Now let's check my room first.]
[The room is not very big. Most of the thing I see is made of wood. There is a desk beside my bed, its leg is carved exquisitely. Good handwork. ]
]I see something different, some kind of weird thing made of glass, shaped like a round ball. I do not know what it is, some kind of decoration?]
After checking every inch of the room, suddenly someone opened the door. More exactly, a pair of kids. A boy and girl. They are talking in an unfamiliar language, but some of their words are similar to human's language in Ming Yue's previous life.
[Dad. . . Royal City. . . Job. . . Grandpa. . . Angry. . .] Ming Yue tried to list every word she was familiar with and compile every information that these kids were saying.
[It turned out they are my siblings, the biggest boy is called Longyi, and the smaller girl is called Lanyue. Longyi is a boy with a smile on his face, with his sharp and relaxed eyebrow, looks like he is always smiling. Lanyue is a girl with a sharp feature, I believe if she transforms into a 'he', she will be very handsome. And I am the third daughter. They call me Yueyue, I wish that is not my real name. Too childish.]
[They also waiting for another sibling, is Mom pregnant again?] Ming Yue silently made some note in her mind.
[Well, I cannot wait for future.] Ming Yue smiled while anticipating an interesting future without cultivating.
…
And Ming Yue did not realize that she had created a big uproar in a certain kingdom
