After a week, Inside Murumink's Empire's Capital, Inside one of the hospitals. On one of the beds which was covered with hanging drapery, a man with a just bit facial hair and long black hair, his body seemed frail. His whole body was covered in bandages.
The young man opened his eyes looking around, he felt pain all over his body, he could barely move his body.
"Aish, so I am still alive, I knew I wouldn't die so easily hehe, but I can feel that most of my bones are broken." This young man was exactly Yin.
Yin coughed few times and suddenly Akemi ran inside. She was sobbing, tears falling one after another she saw that Yin had opened his eyes she started sobbing ever more.
Yin gave a faint laugh and said faintly, "Hey don't cry I am alright, I'll heal up and be like new again hehe."
Akemis started pouting while crying, "You dummy! who said you can get hurt! look at yourself all full injures what will you do if your thingy won't work anymore!"
"Hey hey! don't joke like that! it's not even funny..." Yin said as he laughed bitterly inside, this woman really says ridiculous things... ' How can my precious friend not work! watch when I heal up hmph! hmph!'
"Don't worry, don't worry I can do it without my friend! no no no no... My friend will work sure, when I heal, just watch!" Yin joked, as he laughed a bit and he coughed with blood.
"Dummy!" Akemi said, as she saw him cough blood she was worried to death.
Akemi hugged Yin, he enjoying the hug could feel that something was amiss. It was somewhat warm yet strange energy he could feel, 'What is this?' Yin taught surprised he couldn't understand. Yin noticed that the faint warm energy coming from Akemi, he could feel the energy embracing him. He couldn't understand what it was, he could feel it being similar to that of his own energy.
"!!??!" Yin looked at Akemi extremely curiously, he could feel the energy coming from her body and helping him heal just barely but surely.
"Akemi!" Yin suddenly said, startling Akemi as she curiously looked at Yin, she didn't realise that she was actually giving Yin her energy subconsciously.
"Akemi, you can use light element ?" Yin asked Akemi curiously, because he read in the books that light element has healing effect, and this warm sensation.
"What ? no I can't dummy what are you talking about?" Akemi looked at Yin curiously, she couldn't understand what was he talking about. Using an element is something that she could never imagine, she thought that it's out of her reach, and only those blessed by the gods can use it.
"No really, Akemi you can use light element! I could feel it coming from your body!" Yin was absolutely sure of this there is no mistaking.
At this moment, on one of the houses, two men in blue uniform were standing, both of them looked at each other shocked, they could feel light element coming from Akemi.
"Inconceivable... This actually happened hahahaha!! ahahahah! One in billion chance! One in a billion! what are the chances, brother... what are the chances ??" The tall man nodded at short man words and he spoke, "Truly, one in a billion... I have never actually seen it myself, it was only recorded in books... To actually, gain Light Queen body... only when someone who posses King's body, can give their other half Queen's body! Both of them must be virgins, and the chance is one in a billion! In all existence there haven't even existed more than hundred milion kings! Only once before has a queen appeared! This time Light Queen appeared it seems... I imagine the future of this couple, unimaginable... Brother my hands are shaking! We must get them to join our clan as soon as possible!" The short man stopped tall man from going and said, "Brother be patient, they will surely join our clan, but we must wait or it might not happen." The short man said, with smile on his face.
Akemi was shocked by Yin's words, 'I have light element ?' It was something unimaginable for her.
"Me..me ? light element I can use light element ?"
Yin nodded, "I am absolutely sure of it, I could feel healing effect from your element. How long was I in coma?" Yin asked.
"One week..." Akemi answered faintly, she was somewhat worried.
"Yes, I am healing somewhat faster... You really have light elemental affinity, it's wonderful! haha, wonderful!" Yin said as he was extremely happy, about it.
"But how do I use it?" Akemi said she was ecstatic as well, she still couldn't completely believe it.
"You must get rid of all your thoughts, empty your mind and be shapeless like water, imagine river of light flowing inside you. Focus empty your mind, concentrate, put your mind two centimeters up your belly, concentrate with your hands and with your mind. This might take a while so don't over do it, calm down, and get rid of your thoughts. Feel it." Yin said calmly, as for him it was much harder to find out everything, he had no teacher.
Akemi nodded as she sat on the chair next to Yin's bed, she concentrated trying to feel it. Sweat dripping from head, it's very mentally exhausting and hard to do this for the first time. Slowly two hours passed and she felt something, she felt warmth residing in her belly, slowly she started seeing colour, where she slowly started seeing small world of light just like the sun it self, but much brighter. But it didn't burn or feel pain, or any danger coming from it, instead she could only feel warmth coming from it, and pleasant feeling.
Akemi opened her eyes as she had big smile on her face, she said loudly, "Yin I can feel it! I can feel a bright world two centimeters up my belly! and it's warm! It feels amazing."
Yin smiled, "Great! great! It's just like mine... Only that mine is world of cold, but I cannot feel the coldness instead I can feel calmness radiating from it. Now in order to use it, try imagining taking the light from the planet flowing through where ever you want imagine it coming out of your body, through those points on your body." Yin started talking about the Qi points on the body, through where it is suppose to flow. Yin have found over two hundred Qi points in his body with slow meditation and trying to flow his Qi energy through every single part of his body. "That's how I was able to use it, with this power you can control your element. But to control element is much harder It will take you long time, but you can try extracting the light power from your body to flow out which will help me heal."
Akemi nodded, time slowly passed and after about one hour suddenly little light appeared on Akemi's palm she cried out and said, "Yin look! I managed to do it!..."
Yin looked at Akemi shocked, he was astonished by Akemi's comprehension, no wonder she is declared genius seen only once in hundreds of years... How can it be so simple to actually do it? Although Yin understand that it is partially because he explained it pretty well to her while he had to find out how to do it himself. He even made his own techniques, such as blizzard, ice slash, ice wall, instant freezing, ice breeze, but it took him twelve years after all.
"Good, good now try sending your light energy to me." Yin said and suddenly Akemi's grain size light ball flew to Yin and entered his body. Yin could feel warmth welling up and surrounding his body, he felt extremely comfortable, and suddenly fell into dream world.
Akemi was surprised, but continued giving Yin her energy hoping it to help Yin recover.
In a blink of an eye another week passed in which Yin, recovered quite a bit but still had a lot too heal, leaving him laying on bed all the time.
Although only week passed many things happened.
Yin and Akemi came to hard decision which is Yuki being taken in by Akemi's parents and now she lives at Akemi's place, she was actually quite happy to have two older sisters and now she can go to school.
Another thing that happened is Yin was promoted to higher captain, because of his incredible achievement in killing the Sand Fire Lizard, he was declared as hero just like other soldiers who survived. However no one still knows why the beasts attacked, it was extremely serious matter and the soldiers around towns were all on their feet for the past two weeks, but since nothing else like this happened they calmed down. Three in total soldiers died, and Yin felt guilty for it he wanted to go and apologize to their families, but neither he could walk nor the family would accept his apology. All of the captains were extremely respectful towards Yin most of them saw him fighting, they could see Yin's inextinguishable fighting spirit, all of them would come and pay respect to Yin almost every day.
The gains from that day's fight were however actually very big, as all of the meat from those beast were eatable, and leather can be used from them. The biggest gain is the fire lizards scales which, when the lizard exploded were like metal disks cutting deep into the trees one after another, luckily soldiers were able to avoid them with minor injuries. These Lizards scales can almost used like small shields, but most importantly as armor, which will be used for special forces of the army. This will extremely help the army, as they were quite at the disadvantage, but now they believe they could restore the advantage, as one can equip around ten people with the scales, it's extremely light yet sturdy. And weapons or arrows wouldn't be able to pierce them, making the special forces soldiers much stronger, as they were the best out of best in the empire already.
Lucky thing is that neither of Yin's injuries were fatal somehow and the doctor it said that as soon as he recovers he will be able to be just like new again, with Akemi's healing during the week he was recovering many times faster. Soon enough Yin will heal and will be able to join the war.
Five days later.
Inside Akemi's house, in her room, Yin with dirty smile on his face he was sleeping on top of akemy. Literally.
"Yin ! wake up get off me!" Akemi cried out as she woke up finding Yin sleeping on top of her his head on her chest while he was sleeping belly to belly on her. With dirty smile that too, one can only imagine what he was dreaming.
At this time in Yin's dream he was surrounded by hot big breasted girls one of them serving, another three massaging his body while some other dancing next to him, suddenly one started slapping his face and started shouting, "Wake up! Wake up!!!"
Yin was startled slowly opened his eyes his smile gone as he saw another slap coming to his face he closed his eyes hoping that it won't hurt.
*slap* sounded out through the house then, "Ouch!" and then "What happened !? why you hitting me!" House ironically went silent again.
"I should be asking why you sleeping on me like that I can barely breath! not to mention that I am suppose to sleep on you like that not you on me! Hmph! hmph!" Akemi pouted as she turned to the side not talking to Yin.
Yin put on evil smile he spoke, "Hehe you know my member is already working hehe" Yin laughed evilly as he said and poked with his finger Akemi's right butt cheek.
"Ah!" Akemi startled her face red she took her feather pillow and started hitting Yin. He laughed as he said, " I give up! I give up!" raising his arms in air he got hit by pillow in the face.
When suddenly out of nowhere two men appeared in front of the bed, one tall with crazy hair and blue uniform another short with crazy hair and blue uniform, looking at Yin and Akemi, one of them coughed.
Yin and Akemi startled both shot up, jumping out of the bed Akemi in her nightwear while Yin absolutely naked with his member in the air swinging, he covered it with his hands shouting, "Who are you?" Akemi looked at Yin embarrassed, "Why are you naked?" she said silently as she gave a sigh.
Yin looked at her awkwardly, not saying anything.
The short man said something silently to the tall man's ear and his face went ashen he tried to hit the short man, but instead hitting the air as the short man appeared standing just barely further.
Five minutes earlier.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
On top of one of the houses roofs two men standing, "Brother It's time." The tall man nodded as they appeared in Akemi's house standing watching as Yin was being hit by pillows.
The short man coughed and they saw Yin and Akemi jumping out of the bed, seeing Yin's member he chuckled inside and whispered in the tall man's ear saying, "His member is bigger than yours. haha"
Presently.
The short man bowed a bit and started talking, "*Cough*, please dress up and we will talk then" The short man turned his back to Yin, tapping the tall man."
Yin and Akemi quickly dressed up, both embarrassed not understanding what was going on, but they obviously saw the short man's speed it was, it was inconceivable with eye they didn't even know how or when the short man moved. Yin was absolutely shocked, he couldn't imagine such thing being possible, 'What does one have to do to achieve such speed?' Yin was eager, his heart full of excitement.
Yin coughed as he spoke, "We are dressed..."
The two men turned around nodding the tall man started talking, "It's very nice to meet you Akemi and Yin, we are brothers, I am Babu he is Babi. We came here with a request of joining our Snow White Dragon Clan."
Yin calmly looking at them he spoke, "What is this Snow White Dragon Clan? I never heard of it."
Short man answered Yin, "Snow White Dragon Clan is clan of deviners and martial artists. Deviners are those who can control the elements with magical energy or King and Queen energy while martial artists are those who can strengthen their body with the element and use techniques to use the element they use Qi energy or King and Queen Energy. Youngsters when you saw me move with an astonishing speed earlier is because My body is strengthened by lightning Qi."
To Yin and Akemi this was completely new world what they were talking about, they were completely confused.
"Let's go for a walk somewhere more remote I'll explain in more detail." The short man said.
Yin and Akemi looked at each other nodding Yin answered, "Alright."
Soon they were walking behind the Capital Walls.
"We right now are in the mortal territory, by mortal I mean people who live short and meaningless life, in this world we Cultivators live in between the mortal not showing ourselves as we do not care much about mortals unless they want to completely wipe out each other only then will we interfer. We live in completely different worlds, we Cultivators can live for much longer than mortals, once we achieve Olympian level we can become immortal. We are also many times stronger than mere mortals."
As the short man said it he moved with an extreme speed he cut tree chopping it into tens of pieces with his bare hands. he cut it even before it got time to fall on the ground.
Yin was absolutely terrifyingly shocked just as Akemi was, their eyes bulged out. This level is something out of their imagination absolutely unfathomable, Akemi was so shocked she even thought that he might be a god. Akemis family was actually quite religious they believed in supreme beings, Akemi almost wanted to fall on knees, but Yin stopped her.
Yin nodded thinking about something, "Why do you want us to join your clan?" he asked calmly.
Short man without waiting answered quickly, "It's because you two can become absolutely more powerful, if you want. Inside of you two's body there is a little planet which contains King and Queen's energy, this makes your body have highest affinity to the element, at the same time stronger body and soul, making you able to be both Deviners and Martial Artists."
Yin's blood started boiling as he heard this, because it means he can raise in power! What they said is absolutely true that they have little planets inside of them.
"What's the catch?" Yin said calmly looking at them, it can't be just so simple as just joining their clan and helping them raise in power for no reason.
The tall man laughed faintly, "Kid you are quite smart, but all you two's have to do is represent our clan. Of course if you betray our clan we will kill you, as simple as that."
Yin thought for a moment he still had many question, but they weren't appropriate to ask at this time, he disliked these two men arrogant behaviour and would kill them if he had the power. He now knew that he was only at the absolute bottom of the power and not on the top, he was no more but a bug in front of them, he now also realized that he knows much less about the world then he thought before. It was quite a shock to Yin, something he didn't imagine.
"Will we be able to get back here when we want or what ?" Yin asked.
"You will be able to get back for twelve days once a year. We do not care about mortals much so it doesn't matter if they know about us or not it doesn't change nothing, it's just that we like to keep it a secret. In other continents people usually knows about our existence, but our Clan is only thirty thousand years old and we don't usually go around looking for potential mortals, unless someone like you two appears or someone with extraordinary affinity to element." The short man answered briefly.
Yin nodded as he was rather baffled as the guy said only twenty thousand years, how would other clans or whatever exist then? Yin looked at Akemi who had rather puzzled face on her, all the element things and all that was completely new to her as she was trying to put everything into place.
"I'll talk about this with my wife." Yin said as looked at her, Akemi looked at Yin not knowing what to do. She then got over it a bit and said, "Who's your wife! J! J..just becose we..we! nevermind!" her face went all red.
"I will go with them and I want you too join me. Financially your family is already very good, and they might even take Yuki in, ah Yuki right." Yin said as he looked at the two men.
"We will join, with one condition, you will have to accept my friend who is nine years old as well. I can guarantee, she might even be mentally stronger than me." Yin said calmly.
The two men looked at each other, they almost never accept mortals this young. More so when someone doesn't have anything special.
"I must say that if we accept her, it will very hard for her as she doesn't have anything special about her. In the clan it's not like here, everyone is merciless and would do anything just to have more comfortable life." The tall man said.
Yin nodded and spoke, "I already saw through this, I believe she will be able to handle it, and it will make her stronger. One cannot become truly strong without experiencing hardships. Also she is more special than you think." Yin smirked.
The men nodded in acknowledgement, they understood that what he said is somewhat true and they were quite surprised by Yin's words. 'Could it be that the little girl has something special to her as well?' They couldn't help but think this, having slight expectations.
"Alright then you can take her with you, but you three will have to live separately, our clan spreads throughout whole of this continent. We made basses for each element in their friendly environment for faster training. You will be able to see each other for two days every month, also there will be meetings with students from different bases to share their experiences. You will get to know later, we should start as soon as possible."
Yin nodded as he looked Akemi he said, "We will go get prepared we can meet tomorrow if that's okay?"
"Yes, we can wait till tomorrow." The tall man spoke.
It was very hurried decision, but it is something that cannot be delayed. They soon got back to house and they were having breakfast Akemi and Yin already decided on what they are going to say.
"Mom, dad. Me, Yin and Yuki will be going to experience the world. It is something that we have to do... We will be back once in awhile, so um... Don't worry okay ?" Akemi said with strange look on her face.
Hearing this Gandalf and Katherin were both startled, as it came out, out of nowhere. How can they just decide this so fast without nothing?.
"How can you go explore the world, when it's so dangerous everywhere have you gone nuts ?" Gandalf said looking at the two, thinking they really gone nuts.
"No, no father in law what she said is true, we really are going, but don't worry I am confident in myself that I can protect them. So father in law don't worry." Yin said.
"But how can you decide this is so... So out of nowhere ? why do you want to go?" Katherin said, she was about to start crying.
"Sis you really going ? take me with you..." Juliet said with sadness on her.
"No sorry sis we really can't take you with us, it will be too dangerous for you..." Akemi said, she was really sad as well, she actually really didn't want to leave, but she also didn't want to leave Yin. She also liked her power, light element is element of support and healing as deviner that's what one does, on other hands martial artists when using light element they have absolutely highest level of recovery and second to none speed. This is new world and she is definitely not stupid she understood that this is chance to experience something out of this world. Her curiosity for everything is much greater than her peers and learning is what she always desired for.
Katherin and Gandalf really didn't know what to say, after all they understood that Yin and Akemi are already grown ups.
"Mom, dad we really are going. This something we already decided. I know it's a bit dangerous, but without danger there is no reward. We will head out tomorrow." Akemi said.
Yuki curiously looking at Akemi and Yin she didn't know when they decided this, but it's not she could refuse either. After all Yin took her in and she is in cost of her life.
"Alright, then we need to celebrate our last day together in a while!" Gandalf said as he took out some booze and food. He understood that they already can't change their decision, all he could do is support them.
Yuki sat next to Yin she spoke silently, "What's going on?"
"Ah excuse us we need to talk..." Yin said, and everyone nodded. Yuki and Yin went outside to the small garden at the back of the house.
"It's happened like this..." Yin started talking about everything making Yuki dizzy.
"Whoa, whoa you are joking?" Yuki started laughing, barely understanding what Yin just said.
"I am not joking, you will understand everything tomorrow. I must tell you that it will probably be extremely hard there, you must never give up, remember." Yin said as he patted Yuki.
"So we are going to join them just like this?" Yuki said curiously.
"Yes we will join them, because It is something out of this world, you would have saw that man as he chopped that tree I felt like a bug. I want to be as powerful as him, maybe then I will have power to change something."
Yuki was a bit flabbergasted by what was happening, but she nodded and accepted she was somewhat of a smart girl. But most importantly she is absolute monster.
The day passed quickly, as Yin was taking care of matters and leaving all his money for his his father and mother in law, he felt like they treated him like their own son. They were extremely good and kind hearted people, someone he can trust and knew that they wouldn't become like other nobles.
