Chapter 8: Vilrin Wolf
Jin Fu asked Chang Ming to go to another place aside from the play field. Jin Fu was still new to the village, therefore she asked Chang Ming. Chang Ming just nodded in reply.
They reached a place that was not far by the play field were the river flowed. One could reach the play field if they just walk two minutes.
"Fu~, can you teach me how did you overcome your fear now?"
Jin Fu just couldn't handle that sweet way of saying. Therefore, she warned Chang Ming before they got started.
"Ok I got it Fu."
Then Jin Fu held Chang Ming's hand and dragged her towards the river. Chang Ming got Scared silly by this.
"Fu, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry nothing will happen."
Jin Fu then gave an evil smile which creeped Chang Ming to the bones. Before Chang Ming could realize, she was standing on the river. This time Chang ming was truly frightened.
"Fu, Im really frightened. Can we go back to the ground please."
"Don't worry. I'm with you. If you are really frightened then talk about something like yourself or your family."
Chang Ming heeded Jin Fu's words while shuddering. Therefore she started to talk about herself and her family.
"My name is....Chang Ming. I was....born on May Third..... of the year 1319 in...the Heavens Calendar. So I'm....nine years...old. I like.....to play...with friends. But after.....getting bullied they....don't interact...much with me. I'm sad...."
Chang Ming continued talking about her personal life and her family life. Jin Fu also heard a piece of information which would help her.
"My father..is going with..the traveling team this...coming week. He said....."
At the end, Chang Ming's speech became fluent and she forgot what she was doing. By now Jin Fu knew all about Chang Ming. Jin Fu overall evaluation of Chang Ming was that she was a very good child and was growing up in a good environment. Then Jin Fu thought about her own childhood but then she realized that she didn't remember much of her childhood at all. Then Jin Fu was snapped back to reality and told Chang Ming to stop.
"So, how do you feel?"
"I feel great."
Chang Ming was feeling very good at this moment because she released all her worry and tension that she accumulated in the past few days. Chang Ming felt refreshed.
"Do you remember where you are standing right now?"
"Fu, what are you talking about?"
Chang Ming then realized that she was still standing on the river bed. But she was not as afraid as before. She was startled but she quickly became calm.
" I see that you not afraid of water as much as before."
"Yes Fu. Thank you very much for everything."
" Hey, don't thank me. It was a part of a deal, so don't thank me."
Jin Fu didn't like any form of gratitude or benevolence from others. If she somehow received one, she will quickly try to pay back. Jin Fu thinks that this kind of acts are a burden and should be get ridded of as soon as possible so that she could be free of any future troubles.
Meanwhile Chang Ming didn't understand Jin Fu at all. She was sincerely thankful. Chang Ming knew what deal meant since her father was a merchant. If this was a deal then she received more than what Jin Fu got. Chang Ming only promised not to tell about that incident to her aunt while she got rid of the fear of water to some extent. Chang Ming was smart therefore she understood that Jin Fu at least had a very complicated mind. Her thoughts came to abrupt stop when she heard Jin Fu's voice.
"Let us go. Our guardians must be worried about us."
"Fu, we are really late. Let's go."
Chang Ming realized that they were late. So, without Jin Fu's consent, she held Jin Fu's hand and started to run. But after just a minute or so she heard Jin Fu's voice again.
"Stop. Something is there."
"Fu, what are talking about? I can't see a thing."
Jin Fu was not lying. This is a keen sense she developed when she did dangerous missions while she was an assassin. This sense saved her life many times before. Not before long, Jin Fu saw a injured wolf coming out of a bush.
Chang Ming was frightened. She never imagined that a wolf was hiding in that bush. If she had gone further, she might have already died. This feeling scared her to hell.
Jin Fu on the other hand wanted to fight this wolf. Jin Fu's violent nature was awakened now when it was dormant for a while. Jin Fu wanted to kill this wolf on her own. She also wanted to test her capabilities now after training for a while and her dantain had filled one-fourth by now. Therefore, Jin Fu had to let go Chang Ming's hand and took a stick from her back. The stick was already with her when she left her home. She had forgot to keep it at her house but she was thankful that she brought it now. If she didn't have the stick she would be weaponless.
Chang Ming was frightened again when she saw Jin Fu taking out a stick and intending to fight against that wolf. Chang Ming thought how the hell would she fight using that stick. So therefore, Chang Ming urged Jin Fu while giving out information to her.
"Fu, let us run away. You will not be able to handle something like that."
"Don't worry. I will be alright."
"No Fu. You don't understand. That's a vilrin wolf. My father had talked about it before. Its a wolf breed with primary level 2 Chi Force. Even though it is injured now and its fighting strength have declined below primary but it is not something you can handle. So, listen to me and let's run away. Its injured so it will not be able to catch us."
When Chang Ming was telling all this, Jin Fu had eye contact with the wolf all this time. But when she heard about the wolf strength instead of being frightened she was more excited.
"This is perfect."
"Fu, what do you mean?"
While Chang Ming was drifted, Jin Fu already went forward to attack the wolf.
