She wear beautiful clothes and golden hairpin and a few golden accessories in her hand that shows that she is quite rich.

She is talking with five man, which is very heaven and earth in appearance. The five man that talk to her looks very buff with weapon in each of them. Normally if there are nothing that the woman need, she wouldn't talk to them. Yet here they are talking to her in the garden in the mansion. Nobody else around them, she wants that this meeting is not known to other and finish immediately.

"Please give us a break. We did do our job beautifully aren't we." Said one the man, which looks like the leader. He then smile and his hand gesture to ask money to her. "Now now, could you pay us for our job?"

The woman sigh inwardly and take out a pouch full of coins from her clothes. "Here, one hundred gold coins. Count it if you like and scram." She threw the money into the man, and the man catch the pouch. He then open the pouch and look at the woman again.

"This is not enough."said the man casually. That words made the woman angry. "Don't lie, there are one hundred coind in it! I have personally count it!"

"One hundred gold coin yes, but the the job is cost three hundred coins."

The woman is no furious, her face is red from anger. "What are you talking about!! You said it was one hundred before!!!" She shout to them.

"Well, it was. But the inheritance is worth tens of thousands right?" The woman shocked when she hear the man said it. "How... how did you..." How the man know her secret is unknown to her. She is scared now that if some people that she don't want to know the secret knows it.

"Don't mind where i got it. All the matter is whether you can provide the money or not." The man is threathening her, now that he know her secret. "Well, you can also pay in other way." The man lick his lips, there are lust coming from his gaze, all five of them is now laughing.

This kind of thing disgust the woman. She had deal with this kind of thing since she's coming age. All the men look her with lust. However the problem is since she only lived in small city almost the men that come to her poor. She feel that the heaven have given her the gift in looks, so she want to live leasurely. A few years ago she finally hit the jackpot, the lord of the city, which is the Zhang family want her to be his bride. She couldn't say no to that, since the family is wealthy.

"Now what is your decision?" Ask the man again. "You don't want the people around you to know right? Or even the goverment official."

"Fine! Come back tomorrow, i'll give you the damn money you want so much!" the woman back down. She had to comply to their request now. She is furious, but cannot do anything right now. She wonder whether she should hire another mercenary or assassin to deal with them later, this time the expensive kind that would cost her more money, but the professional type that doesn't threathen her later. She feel so stupid to use her friend's unreliable connection.

RRRRRRRUUUMMMBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

All of the sudden the ground tremble. It caused all of them to drop to their knee. "What is.... earthquake...."She said, while try to hold onto one of the big pilar from the house.

The rumble doesn't stop soon, the rumble is so violent and make the house shake, even if this house is so big. Good thing she lived in a lord house with good foundation, or else the house would collapse with this kind of earthquake.

"What in the world is this earthquake... I've never experience earthquake this massive before...." she cried inwardly. She can only hope that the house falls down upon her and her baby inside.

"Look at that light!" One of the man point out to direction of the forest.

There are one big pillar of light emerge from the forest. It shot right up the sky. All of them never see something like that and doesn't have any idea what is it. It's white crystalize pillar, and it shine brightly, more bright than the sun behind it.

[Demon Beast Forest]

"Ugh...." Old Wu awoke. He feel that he has slept for days and now refreshed. He was unconcious and after he open his eyes slowly, he felt that there are something different. He feel that he is now fill with power and vigour. As he few the surrounding something feel strange. There are huge crate in the place he lie now. It's around five meters in diameters, and the soil and grass around it is destroyet, it's as if something really big fall down from the sky.

As he try to stand up and look around, he found more changes. There are some kind of thin aura cover the living things in the forest. It's a very thin and colorless aura, it cover the tree, the grass, and the surrounding vegetation.

He look his hand, and he noticed that there are also similiar aura, yet this time the color is white and crystalize. However rather than aura, it looks like fire, a thin flaming fire. The aura dancing around his body.

"Young hero Wuxia ZI..." Old Wu look around trying to find the young man from before, but he doesn't found anybody. Old Wu wonder if the young man already left. How long has he slept before he also don't know. Did he slept for five minutes or days he didn't know. He try to smell his body, usually if someone doesn''t took a bath for a long time, there are terrible odor. However when he smells his arm he found beautiful fragrant, just by smell it bring him calming effect.

"Did something happen to my body?" He wonder, yet when he examine his hands, legs, and try to rub his face with his hands, it still the same wrinkle body from before, yet he feel very different.

"Oh right. I have to go home now. I have to warn the madam." Said Old Wu to himself. As much as he confuse, he has higher priority now. He has to warn the madam that the men are evil.

"The path to back... I think it's that way." Old Wu then faced one direction. He then put his power in his feet and start running.

WHOOOSSHHHH

"WHOAAAA!!!!! What just happen????????!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Old Wu shocked, when he intends to run, he put power in his feet, however right now he is high in the sky. Did he put too many power in it, yet it is impossible. He is now high in the sky, at least three times higher than the biggest tree in the forest, which is more than twenty meters high. Never have he jumped this far, he couldn't even jumped higher than two meter in his life, so this height is much shock to him, it's also make him scared to death. Would he die when he lands, he pray to heaven that he would not.

BLAMMMM

He then land perfectly on his two feet. There are no damage, he doesn't hurt, no after effect anything. He's in disbelief, whether he did just that.

"Young hero Wuxia Zi.... is this your gift?" Tears start flowing from his eyes. He realized that this is defenitely the effect of the white ball that given him by the young man before, Wuxia Zi. It truly a wonderfull gift. Did he even deserve it, remembering his life, he never did anything heroic to deserve gift this big. It really move his heart.

As he look around and he realize he haven't thanked the young man for this gift he can only face the sun and kowtow three times. He doesn't know where he is. But he pray that the God that reside in the sun as he believe can deliver his thanks to him.

"Thank you young hero... thank you.." he said as more tears falling down.
