Yinhua watches the magnificent view of falling star-like objects spreading across the world, she is now boiled up upon witnessing the view, then she walks away from the side and lay herself to rest under the tree, her body has a few scratches and wounds from their battle, she is in total weak state.
“Damn it! That was a close call, if I didn’t execute the chant, my life is over” Yinhua said in depressed tone.
“He is a total monster, his blows are truly heavy, luckily I can read his muscle tensions to predict his attack, still I give a swift counter to force him away from me” She said while touching her left arm.
“Ouch! Damn it hurts a lot, Wilhelm will be angry if he found out, must heal myself” Yinhua surmised the outcome and start to sit crossed legs and chant the “Phoenix Fire Drops Technique” and start to heal her wounds.
“Other healing techniques are still cannot use due to my level of cultivation but sooner I will reach it soon!” Yinhua had a deep thought as she start the chant and did the same actions before.
She endured the pain of the blazing fire as it meddles the wounds and rashes which can be seen in the damage cloth of Yinhua, like a piercing daggers that sooner release a soothing healing experience in her body, she keep on pace to concentrate on healing on contrary, she also starting to plan about the departure from the kingdom and start a long travel to the world, to discover the mysteries behind the Celestial Maidens and what is magic prosperity and cycle of usage of it.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
Back to the main camp of the Lightenguard army, Wilhelm rush and rode to his horse upon hearing that Yinhua accept the duke’s duel without his further notice nor Marcosias and the other lords, he then start to depart swiftly and nervously, his heart start to palpitate and beats faster as the scenes of Yinhua lying lifeless in the ground where Duke Christopher is smiling devilishly of his triumph burn in his imagination, he gritted his teeth and start whip his horse to move faster, he doesn’t care anymore about honour and code of sort, he only know that he need to save Yinhua before it’s too late.
“That lady! Yinhua what is going on your mind? You are no match to him, he is a dangerous swordsman and a knight, darn, please hold on until I can save you” Wilhelm fearfully thought as he speed up his horse, after a few minutes and about to arrive to the area, he was stopped when he saw the skies opening and the aurora borealis form, he was distracted in the sudden appearance of the Sky Descending Phenomena, as the Sky palace appears and release the falling star-like figures in different directions.
“Crap, there is no time for it!” Wilhelm sudden thought and became to move once again.
On the other side, Yinhua felt a little tired upon casting the healing technique to herself, often she felt fine once again, that fight are truly magnificent, is she didn’t use her trump card immediately, what consequences will happen to her, she stare at her arms that are still shaking, she just let alone a sigh in her face, she still keep staring at the sky and watch the meteor shower-like events of the Sky Descending Phenomena.
“Well, tomorrow is another day, but there is a slight chance I’ve encounter these folks, gotta go!” She stands and stretches her body and walk again to her horse and about to prepare to ride it, then she heard a galloping sounds approaching her, when she stares to her backside, she saw Wilhelm nervous face, and about to burst to cry as he approaches.
“Young Lord Capistrano! Oh good to see you!” Yinhua said and casually wave a hand to Wilhelm.
“YINHUA!!” Wilhelm shouts and suddenly jumps from his horse and ran to Yinhua.
He hugged her so very tight and never let her go, his tears are overflowing, before he felt nervous and about to break in pieces, but when he saw Yinhua standing firm and waving with a smile, he felt joy and jump of his heart, he then cried.
“Why you accept the Duke’s challenge? Why you didn’t call me? Why did you do this? Why! Why? Why,,,” Wilhelm said as more tears form from his eyes and keep hugging Yinhua tightly.
“Omphff! Because,,, it was,, fun,, after all,,, omphff,, young lord,, I can’t breathe!” Yinhua said in cut speech, as she felt the tightness of hug of Wilhelm.
“Idiot,,, moron,,, silly,,, fool,,” Wilhelm replied as he keep crying, this woman in front of her are totally crazy.
“Ok! Ok! I’m sorry if you are totally worried for me, forgive me now!” Yinhua said in frustration, then she hug Wilhelm back, Wilhelm suddenly shock, which his hug suddenly loosen its strength from gripping Yinhua, he felt a warmth coming from Yinhua.
“I won after all, and as a promise please bow your head a little” Yinhua said as she smiles while her eyes closed.
Wilhelm bowed a little and the he felt Yinhua’s lips in his forehead, it was a kiss, as Yinhua patted his back, he felt a sudden bliss for a moment, he then raised his head to face Yinhua again.
“A promise is a promise, I’m true to my word without backing up to what I’ve said” Yinhua said as she smiles again.
Wilhelm become to blush, he want to say something but words never come out of his mouth, he then just release Yinhua from his hug, then he stand straight and look at her, then he take a deep breath and gain courage for a moment, Yinhua tilt her head in wait and then she graciously look to innocent man in front of her.
“I thought that I will never see you again, you maybe possess strength to win over him, while I’m just idling at the side and never give you a hand, such a cowardice I have!” Wilhelm said in low tone voice.
“What are you talking about young lord? I am truly grateful to meet such a fine young man like you” Yinhua replies as shown of understanding in her face.
“Yinhua, you didn’t know, and I have a trouble of time here and afraid of the day you leave us” Wilhelm said in sadden tone.
“Leaving? Nah I’m just really excites in adventuring and discovering the beautiful sceneries and treasure that our world has” Yinhua answers as she spin herself in joy and face Wilhelm again.
“I want to tell you something, but don’t be shock please” Wilhelm said as he then start to get a little nervous and gulp a mouthful of saliva.
“Speak I’m listening” Yinhua cheerfully replied.
“Yinhua, I’m caring for you because I love you, from the button of my heart, I truly love you, honestly I’m confuse and I don’t know what to do how to confess about my feelings for you” Wilhelm eyes closed as he speak straight and shaking.
“……………”
It was a moment of silence, Yinhua’s eyes widen and she felt a lightning hit her, she blushed deeply red and hid her eyes within her bangs, and she is totally fuming in embarrassment, like her jaw about to fall in sudden turn of events.
“NNAAAANNNNIIII!!!” Yinhua shout in surprised as the birds flew away in the night sky, she can’t think and confused, she is truly blushing in beet red, it was so sudden, so sudden.
Wilhelm shocks to the respond of Yinhua, he felt like he his hopes about to broke, what if Yinhua didn’t accept his confession, what will happen to him now, so much question is clouding in his mind as he wait for Yinhua’s answer.
“Bu-but that was to su-sudden, especially I’m not, not truly worthy enough to be yo-your lady, be-because I’m not possessed any pro-prosperity or riches and be-besides I’m not, not ready yet” Yinhua said while shaken and doesn’t know where to place her hand, and some sweat form in her head.
“Oh don’t bother about it, I can wait for your answer” Wilhelm said and calm once again as he seen funny about the embarrass side of Yinhua.
“I-is that so? Thanks goodness” Yinhua returns to normal upon heard what Wilhelm says.
“We shall go now, and return for the celebration of victory” Wilhelm said, showing a little dissatisfied expression.
“Sure, lead the way Young Lord!” Yinhua polite reply.
The two rode onto their horses and leave behind the destroyed battlefield, they are now heading towards the camp, Yinhua is somewhat perplex about the situation she came in, she never expected Wilhelm’s confession, she just let a sigh in her face and watch the silhouette of Wilhelm that reminds her of her late husband back in martial world, how is her daughter doing now? Is there a chance to meet again them, why does she need to stay of this place, for what purpose or issues that she needs to be there.
She just keep wondering and staring back to the sky, as many shooting stars-like object form and going in every direction, quite numerous in count, but whatever, if she had truly a chance to know about their origins, maybe she will get a clue to return to her original world, sad to say that she is been starting yet many troubles are sprouting out of nowhere, well just solving them can maybe let to a new opportunity and answers so why not take them head on, maybe good rewards are waiting.
“Even though you fall for me Wilhelm, it only cost you a pain, but you should know how to endure it soon when you realize the truth about me” Yinhua thought helplessly.
The kiss mark on the forehead of Wilhelm forms intro a inscription pattern that connects to his eyes, the intent of Yinhua formulates insides of his mind without his notice, Yinhua did the kiss on purpose in order to add another vision and intelligence for her, even how much far away she was.
Soon that she will tell him about the truth about her, even though she revert back to her younger self, she still have her motherhood attitude, especially she has a daughter in her past world, but for now, the biggest thing she need to be done is to reach the pinnacle of power and discover the Eternal Border Of Life Secrets and her connection about this world, and why she transfer here in the first place.
They returned to the camp, as expected the lords and ladies and all soldiers are feasting onto their victory, they made a huge banquet at the camp, all Lords and Ladies are present, chatting each other, exchanging their thoughts about the miraculous battle and wonderful planning and coordinating attack, they never expected such tactics and armaments to be used in their past wars, they thought that they will face an utter annihilation of the enemies, but now they surprised that they are survived to the end.

“If you are there to witness the army of the duke in Margara Forest, you will saw how they become disarray by the red smoke and how they been massacre so badly by those black and powerful explosives we fire, you will see how they are frail flying and dying in the explosion, simply unbelievable!” explained by the one of the crew of the catapult squad.
“Hah! If you are with me in the Luvic Canyon, all the enemies below are burned by black fire and you know what is more shocking, no horses, no people or even clothing is been found, only the armour plates, sword and metal ones are survived, it’s like they are been ruptured all of the sudden!” an archer stated as he drink a wine.
“Well, what can I say when we buried a lot of people along with their supplies in piled of snow, only we used is few fireballs at hand, and then a huge wave wiped them out of the sudden without flinching chance of escape” said by the mage at the side as he eat the meat jerky.
“Tsk, talk about our formation in the Roder Roads, even their numbers exceeds hundreds thousands, we just skewered them in our spear and bash them with our shield, our formation was good too, especially the tigress commander Lady Sakura leaded us, man look at those huge rack she has, heheh” One of the foot men said as he reminisces the figure of Yinhua, she was too damn sexy and hot, often strict that’s fine to be a wife.
“You guys are totally a hardcore huh? Did you hear that Lady Yinhua killed Duke Christopher at their duel and the war was ended in our victory” A female knight said as she sits beside them.
“Woahh! Amazing, that bastard duke said to be ruthless and powerful, he just snapped by the hands of our goddess, ahahha truly a poor one on sight!” exclaimed by the female staff while serving them some another round of beverages and drinks.
“Yeah, that means she will also been invited by her majesty in her upcoming birthday as a guest of honour, damn, I’m so envious about her achievements, lucky woman!” a knight said while he is drinking and eating his meat jerky.
“Yup, she will horde an amount of rewards and medals, who knows that she will be awarded of status of nobility, that was a huge height of succession for her service!” added by the footmen as he start to gulp his drink.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
At the other side, the Lords and ladies are facing each other at the long table, all the delicious food are align and showing a grandeur view and delicate attraction, servants serve the food to the plates as the nobles eat their food graciously and savour the taste of the different dishes that serve into their plates.
“That girl Sakura, she is indeed a promising lady, especially she brought a huge victory for our kingdom, it was magnificent event that happen in our history, she kill Duke Christopher, who is a veteran swordsman and elite knight of the ages, truly a powerful subordinate of Young Lord Capistrano!” Lord Sarcein said in joyous voice.
“Correct, she also good at commanding the five hundred foot men in facing a hundred thousand enemies, what good performance she have!” Lord Reginard said in satisfaction.
“She is truly a noble blood of a knight, I can see it in her eyes, yet why she is just a plain subordinate, did something happen in her name and honour?” Lord Enclair sudden question, he felt at ease about Yinhua’s standings.
“Whatever it is, as long as she can give us a hand and service, we will survive!” Lord Sarcein said as he sip from his glass of fine liquor.
“But still, something is bugging me, where is the said noble who offered the tactics and ideas about our armaments?” Lady Maia asks all of the sudden, as she still in deep thought at the moment.
“Maybe that noble has something to do that’s why it not shown itself, who knows, maybe her Highness calls for it” Lord Saragoza answers, this old man was the father of Marcosias, he is an archmage level 3, and he dressed in elegant clothing at his side a pile of books of arcana.
“Whatever it is, that noble give the most important and successful accomplishment, as for Sakura, I’m willing to let my little Wilhelm to be married to her” Madam Capistrano said in response, as she felt a curiosities about Sakura, she is in matured age, yet she looks so young, she dresses in astounding and revealing dress, showing the curves and ample chest she have, she has fair skin and face, with a long ebony black hair.
“My dear, don’t be so rash about sudden decisions, we are still unwary what kind of a lady is Miss Sakura is?” Captain Éclair said in anxious, he is the wife of the madam, he is the twin brother of Lord Enclair, the distinction is, he have a scar on top of his right eye lid down to left cheek, he is wearing silver coloured armour.
“Let’s slide it for now, you guys let’s eat together, for the triumph of our beloved kingdom and glory to its prosperity that will never fall, long live the Kingdom of Lightenguard, long live for the royal family, and long live for us nobles who survive till now, CHEERS!” Lord Sarcein said as he raised his cup and showing a good mood.
“Cheers!” everybody answered cheerfully.
“Long live the kingdom!”
“Long live!”
Everyone is enjoying except for Yinhua, she is outside the camp and cultivating, she felt a little bad in the weather that’s why she not joined the party although she is the centre of the attraction due to her successful take down both the duke and the whole army manageably, Yinhua returns to cultivate and keeping on gathering heavenly energy around her, as she chanting over her mind the two Supreme cultivation techniques and Intent chant.
She is now in profound state and silence, as she control the flow of divine energy around her and collect them continuous and simultaneously, she is now in deep trance as the sweat forms again and start to dripping in her skin, she is now concentrating on her spiritual energy to conserve and also she keep investigating the Eternal Border Of Life inside of her soul real, such seals and chains that surrounds the mysterious core, Yinhua felt the strong pressure coming from it, but sooner she can deciphered it’s mysteries and to witness it’s un-imaginable power.
As for the nobles of the Duke’s alliance army, they surrender upon hearing the defeat of their duke and saw it’s headless and armless body, somewhat truly disturbing in their eyes but they still accept what happen because they are not shameless to break the code of the honourable knights, even though they utterly defeat, they just let it slip under, because they are now more focus to go back to their home and pack all of their belongings and leave in shame because they were defeat in just a blink of an eye by just a hundred people versus by their powerful force and yet they are defeated.
That was a good show for Yinhua, but Yinhua never shown a sign of care about it because she is still focus to find the Celestial Maidens and see what are they capable of, these beings are truly a legendary and leave for generations of the people, what is the wishing topic of the winner when he or she succeeds it, just what kind of people are they?
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
The party was over, after a few days the whole group returns to their respective homes, as for Yinhua she followed Wilhelm and sometimes she visit Valrog in the body of a Alfonse and using his old name, teaching him the good standards of smiting and giving him some tips how to make good weaponry with just a small and low materials.
She then received the royal message from Princess Erina that the whole land of Le Veil Village will be her manor, and various awards, treasures and servants come, leaded by Wilhelm, Yinhua smirks and then she laid her plans on the move, she start to order the reconstruction of the manor, where walls are been build, farmlands was cultivated in modern techniques, water irrigation, proper hygiene and cleanliness, lots of infrastructural projects is been made by her, it’s been a few months, Yinhua’s level was already in four star Silver Rank Martial Fighter, she also finish making the “Eight Trigrams Alchemy Spiritual Pot” from different special metals and gemstones, this pot was moulded and shaped in decorative fashion, at the top cap, there is a dragon that rising up, at the handle there is very stylish in curve, the whole body has a beautiful colouring with inscriptions that inscribe to it.
Yinhua starts to test and experiment some of the herds she bought by her own money and she stay inside her glorious palace, this palace was built on styled like Japanese architecture and at the centre, a statue of anime characters standing, all of them are well arm of weapons they tend to use in the series which Yinhua still remebers, the statues was sculpted by Yinhua herself.
“Ok! Let’s begin the experiment!” Yinhua said as she madly begins to make a testing in making pills.
Sometimes success, mostly failure, some are upgraded due to effect of the other herbs, some are degraded by the potent of others, but Yinhua manage to take them as a successful experiments.
She will need these pills for cultivation, so she start to set the alignment of the pills she made, each pills are different colours and sizes, she start to give its own names and start to packed them in a small jars.
