Chapter 6: Ming Yuelin’s past!
Chapter 6: Ming Yuelin's past!
"M-M-Master?!"
Ming Yuelin's eyes trembled and she hastily lowered her head, her heart pounding erratically in panic as her words stumbled "I-I don't know... What are you talking about, Master."
She didn't expect he would directly ask about her deepest secret like that casually. How did he found that out in the first place?
Zhang Yuan gazed at her body fidgeting in nervousness and called in a soft tone "Yuelin"
Ming Yuelin's heart shook as this was the first time he called her by her name and she slowly raised her gaze, looking at his face.
As she gazed upon the gentle smile gracing his lips, her own eyes began to tremble with emotion. "Master," she stammered, "I...".
"Disciples shouldn't lie to the master."
Ming Yuelin closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm down her beating heart. He already knows about it, so being scared about that and trying to lie is useless.
As she reopened her eyes, she looked at him and nodded her head "Y-Yes, Master this is my second life."
Zhang Yuan let out a soft chuckle "I know about that, I asked, Are you enjoying your new life?"
Ming Yueling gave a contemplative nod "In my previous life, I was born in another world as the princess of the Shen Dynasty. As the princess, my life was not bad... but because of my physique, I was caged in."
"I was born with a pure Yin physique, so..." Ming Yuelin hesitated for a bit as she glanced into his eyes.
Zhang Yuan gave a nod as he understood the meaning, a woman with pure Yin physqiue is rare, as any man who has sex with her could gain an insane boost in cultivation because of her Yin energy, especially the one who takes her virgin Yin.
"So, I was caged inside the Palace all along and was never allowed to go outside."
With a heavy heart, she continued "After I turned 18, I secretly heard my father having a talk with the ruler of the nearby dynasty. Apparently, my father was trying to sell me as a... cultivation furnace for that Emperor."
Ming Yuelin's eyes moistened as her words struck into her throat "He wanted me to be a cultivation furnace for all the soldiers of that dynasty to increase their cultivation."
Tears streamed down her face as she pushed through her words "A-After hearing this, I quickly went into my room and burned myself to ashes with the Yin fire. Because I know that bastards won't even leave my body alone."
Zhang Yuan let out a soft sigh and raised his hand, giving her a soft pat, tenderly caressing her with a soft touch as his fingers glided through her lustrous black hair.
His comforting smile melted her heart and unknowing emotions fluttered inside her, causing a faint blush to adorn her cheek as she felt the affectionate warmth of his pat on her head.
She quickly wiped away the tears with the back of her dress and Zhang Yuan retracted his hand from her head.
Ming Yuelin continued with a soft sigh "After coming to this world, I thought I was blessed. Even though I was born in a small province, I got great parents who really took good care of me."
"They would do anything for me. Even the valuable herbs I gave you today, Master. That may be insignificant to you, but that's our Ming Family treasure."
"My father and mother gave that to me with no hesitation to present it to you as a gift because it will increase the vital force in your body and increase your lifespan."
"So, I am really grateful for this life."
A faint smile graced her lips. "At the same time, I want to cultivate and become powerful. So I tried to do cultivation, but I am not that talented and I am still in Body Refiniement stage."
"That's why... when I saw you and after my parents plead, I decided to become your disciple. Because I know that with a powerful person like you... I can cultivate quickly and roam the world, unlike in my previous life, where I was caged in the palace."
Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod upon hearing her story "First things first, you are not born in a different world. You are reborn in the same world as before."
H-Huh? Ming Yuelin was startled hearing this "But Master... I checked the map of this world and there is no Dynasty named Shen."
Zhang Yuan let out a faint chuckle "This world is big, Yuelin, and you are in a small province within this Feng Dynasty. I can't blame you, as many people on this continent are not aware of the existence of another continent out there."
"Another... Continent?"
Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah, across the seas, there is another continent, and within it, there is a dynasty named Shen and 25 years ago, the princess of the Shen Dynasty, Shen Yinshi, committed suicide."
W-What? Ming Yuelin was bewildered to hear this and she sat there in absolute shock "M-My age is 25 now, so 25 years ago... I died."
The most surprising thing to her was that not only did her master know about this 'another continent', but her previous name too.
Just who is he?
She looked at him in wonder and as usual, a mysterious yet indifferent smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Zhang Yuan continued, keeping his smile "Well, the reason you were reborn was because of your bloodline power."
"My... bloodline?" Ming Yuelin tilted her head in confusion.
Zhang Yuan spoke with a nod, "Yeah, Crimson Phoenix bloodline. You burned yourself with the Phoenix Yin flame and a phoenix will be reborn from its ashes."
*gasp* Ming Yuelin's gasped in shock, a sudden realization dawning on her. It was then that she understood the reason behind her ability to be reborn.: "That's why I could... be reborn."
Zhang Yuan stayed silent, letting her contemplate the things she heard just now.
A slight frown creased her eyebrows "But... Master I heard, in the seas there is only the domain of demons."
Zhang Yuan spoke "The demon domain is the only thing separating the two continents. If not for the demons and spiritual beasts in the sea, powerful cultivators would have already known about the other continents."
"I see..." Ming Yuelin mumbled in shock, hearing the information.
Suddenly, her eyes shook in dread as she thought of something "Then Master... if I went back to that continent, I could see my old Father and Mother?"
Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah, you want your revenge??"
Ming Yuelin shook her head "No, master... I just want to have a peaceful life now."
The night drew darker as they continued to talk about tomorrow's plan and other things, making Ming Yuelin wonder even more about his power as she felt like he knew everything.
...
Zhang Yuan's gaze became tender as he gently ran his fingers through Ming Yuelin's silky hair while she lay on her bed, causing a slight blush to creep onto her cheeks in response to his affectionate touch.
"Good night."
Ming Yuelin hurriedly nodded back "Have a good sleep, Master."
Zhang Yuan smiled warmly and stepped out of her room, closing the door.
"Haah!" Ming Yuelin looked at the ceiling above her and sighed heavily. The thing about her past life had been tugging at her heart for a long time, making her feel uneasy.
But she had no one to talk about her past and comfort her, the weight of her past life pressing heavily on her heart.
However, after today's night with her Master, she was able to talk to someone openly and was able to vent about her sad past, feeling so relieved in her heart.
Her heart was lightened and she felt a sense of peace that she had long been yearning for.
She is kind of embarrassed that she cried in front of him on the first day but nonetheless she is happy, she got someone to openly talk to, and her master is also kind to her.
Thinking about him, a playful smile appeared on her lips "See how I am surprising him tomorrow morning."
She muttered anticipating for tomorrow as she also going to began her training.
