Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 34: Modest Flaw

Qin Lan remained seated in his wheelchair. Looking at the weakened and malnourished Qin Qin on the other side of the wall, Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie immediately came forward to help.

The two of them used their powerful physiques like chiseling tool.

As the gap is now wide enough for Qin Qin to come across, the duo retreated from their spot and allowed Lu Qing Yun to take over what's following up next.

"Xiao-Ke, bring a cup of water over from the pot and pass this ration to the fourth miss." Qin Lan changed his way of addressing Lu Yi as the news about his recovery is still a secret right now.

"Yes, third young master." Lu Yi took a cup out and poured some hot water before receiving the dried biscuits from Qin Lan. Next, the food was mixed together to be formed into some gruel that's much more gentle to the stomach.

"Fourth miss, please eat something for now." Lu Yi gave the cup with gruel to Qin Qin to keep herself warmer.

"My sister! My sister is right behind me! Please help her too!" Qin Qin stares at Qin Lan as she said.

"Xiao Yun, go and have a look." Qin Lan nodded at Lu Qing Yun.

Very soon, Lu Qing Yun came back with the unconscious Qin Qi on her back. She's looking so frail at this moment, with scab growing on all ten of her fingers.

Qin Lan whispered beside Huo Zunjie's ear.

"Go over there and check where are Qin Huang and Qin Hu," he said.

(Both of you... If I found out that you're doing this on purpose to our fourth and fifth sister, I'll cripple both of you with my own hand and teach you both a lesson you will not forget!)

"Xiao-Ke, prepare something nutritious for them. Xiao Yun will take care of both of them for now." Qin Lan lost his mood to continue. If it was not because Qin Qin is still conscious, Qin Lan might have made his way to the other side to clarify what was going on.

Huo Zunjie soon returned as the night for the fifth day is finally here.

"Third young master, two Thunderhorn Copper Rhinos are guarding the exit on the other side. I found no trace of sixth and seventh young masters over there, so they're likely not trapped in this place like our two young misses." Huo Zunjie reported.

"From the stench and condition, two young misses have suffered. It was torturous because the two beasts repeatedly discharge a bolt of lightning to harass their target."

"They have dug close to half a mile to reach where we are right now." Huo Zunjie gently whispered beside Qin Lan's ear to made sure his words are kept away from being listened to by Qin Qin.

"Sister... Elder sister..." Qin Qi finally wakes up.

"Fifth miss. Please eat something first before I bring both of you to have a change." Lu Qing Yun gently supports Qin Qi up as she speaks. The piping hot cup of gruel is placed between Qin Qi's hand once she's ready to fill her stomach.

Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie pushed Qin Lan out from the cave to provide some space for the maiden to change their clothing.

"Both of you. Feel free to go and hunt. I'll be fine here on my own." Qin Lan smiled.

"Then... We'll go and return after a while." the two of them left quickly and returned about half an hour later with some corpses of Yao Beasts hanging on their shoulder.

Following behind them are the rugged Qin Huang and Qin Hu. From the way they look, both of them had quite a difficult time in this Annual Hunting Festival.

"We found the sixth and seventh young master," Lu Yi said.

"Let's get back inside." Qin Lan said as he ordered Huo Zunjie to push his wheelchair. He did not pay attention to the two younger siblings as the anger in his mind is yet to subside.

"You still dare to come back! As****e!" Qin Qi threw the cup in her hand at Qin Huang when she saw his face inside the dimly lit cave.

Qin Huang grabbed the cup in midair without spilling its content.

"Alright. Eat while we can. Explain to me what happened to all of you." Qin Lan narrowed his gaze while looking at them. His tone is slightly harsh at them because he's somewhat disappointed at their condition.

"This..." Qin Huang scratched his head as he thinks about where to start.

"I'll do it," Qin Qin sighed. She placed the empty cup aside and started to share their experience from the first day until now.

Their team had a positive result on their first and second day. But everything changed when they're ambushed by the two Thunderhorn Copper Rhinos without a hint from where they came from.

Against two Yao Beasts in its Quasi fourth-level strength is impossible and a suicidal effort. Hence, the team decided to escape.

But no one expects that the Yao Beast is highly territorial. They tried countless efforts in the past three days, only to bring no positive result at all.

"We've tried to look for a committee member to help. But no matter where we go, there's no one around us." Qin Hu added.

"Enough. Get your meal and rest. We'll continue with this discussion in the morning after all of you have a rest." Huo Zunjie pushed his young master outside after Qin Lan is finished with his words.

The four of them stares blankly at one another and quietly agreed. Even Lu Qing Yun left the cave, leaving the team of four inside.

"Are we... Going to continue?" Qin Qi asked.

"Even if we continue, it will be hard for us to obtain a spot in the top three. We might as well give up instead of wasting our time here hunting the beast to earn merits points." Qin Hu added.

"Qin Hu, I don't care about how you behave but make sure it's not towards our own family members! Don't you know that the merit points can be used to exchange for precious cultivation materials?" Qin Huang pulled Qin Hu on his collar.

Qin Huang lost himself slightly.

He was supposed to be one of the seeded candidates in this Annual Hunting Festival with the best chances to obtain the top 5 spots.

"Go outside if both of you want to keep arguing. We want to sleep." Qin Qi glared at both of them as she speaks.

"Please do not disturb me, thank you." Qin Qin went to a secluded spot, wishing that she will not be bothered with these pointless arguments. Her younger sister followed her from behind and sat not too far from her.

The situation inside the cave went quiet like there's no occupant within. While on the outside, Qin Lan is discussing the matter in private with his followers.

"Young master, I think something is wrong." Lu Qing Yun whispered beside Qin Lan and shared her concern about Qin Huang's team.

As one of the highly anticipated teams in this Annual Hunting Festival, how can there not be a single committee member monitoring them and focusing on their safety?

Even Qin Lan's team came into their surveillance once in a while as they move towards the northwest direction. In fact, they're also the reason Qin Lan keeps portraying himself as the "crippled" young master protected by his servants wherever they go.

"Indeed. There's something fishy behind this. I'm worried that the Thunderhorn Copper Rhinos appearance doesn't happen naturally but directed by somebody from behind." Qin Lan interlocked his fingers together as he made his guess.

"Lu Yi, Huo Zunjie. From tomorrow onwards, both of you will be hunting independently. Maintain around the one-mile perimeter from me as you move, while Lu Qing Yun remained by my side to mark my location."

"We will maintain this formation until a Quasi fourth-Level Yao Beast is found. If we're out of surveillance, we'll hunt the Yao Beast. But if they remained around us, mark it and go." Qin Lan said.

"Your servants understand!" the trio answered.

"Good. Now listen well. I'll share the cultivation method of the Mistral Flesh Diagram from the Mistral Foundation Art with you." Qin Lan used a unique method of speaking using Spiritual Energy as he guided them in their cultivation.

"The essence of Mistral Foundation Art!"

"Creating a perfect foundation through the purest form of mist. Condensing vapor into liquid, with the body as the container."

"With the Mistral Flesh Diagram, create a flawless body anew!"

His guidance brings out significant results in them as the sixth morning slowly came in. Two out of nine imperfection within them was found as the sun finally rose from the east.

"Young master, what does the imperfection actually means? One of them is located on my right shoulder, but I don't feel any differences." Huo Zunjie asked a question.

"A flaw doesn't mean there's something on that part of your body. Always remember that imperfection means differently at many points of our life. They can be movement, gesture, comfortability, growth, and even shape."

"What the Mistral Flesh Diagram does is perfecting them, just like how a carpenter build the foundation before the wooden beam is added into the foundation of a house." Qin Lan added. Once in a while, giving out guidance like this made him reminiscence the life he had before this.

"Does that means... It was a flaw that my body doesn't perceive as a flaw?" Lu Qing Yun asked with a blushing cheek on her face.

"Yes. Mistral Flesh Diagram works differently for each person. The diagram creates flawlessness, and our body adapts to balance. What came out from both of them is equality." Qin Lan smiled.

"I... I see..." Lu Qing Yun turned around and sat at a corner after listening to what Qin Lan just said.

"Then... I must massage them even more, so they'll get bigger!" Lu Qing Yun placed both of her hands on her modest breasts.
