Waking up, I realise I can't move my body at all. Opening my eyes, I see Little Yue clinging onto my body like an octopus, her head on my chest while slobbering. A little pool of saliva formed on my chest, since the damage is already done, I let her stay there for a while longer while I stroke her head. Soon, she begins to rustle and wake up, feeling my hand stoking her hair, she smiles and opens her eyes, but after seeing the small pool of drool on my chest she immediately let go and got up to get a towel. Watching her diligently drying my chest with her tiny hands like little wife who just married, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and adoration washes over me. Unable to hold it, I grab her arm, pull her to my lap and embrace her tightly. Neither of us say a word, Little Yue keeping her red face hidden in my chest, while I hold her waist and bury my head in her hair. Her hair has the smell of a fresh cold breeze and energises my body. I give her a peck on the head and say, "You were too adorable just now, I couldn't help but hug you." She raised her head and I see her eyes filled with love and courage, in a small voice she says, "It's ok to do this whenever you want Big Brother, as long as you don't leave me in the future…" her voice petering off by the end of it, and hugs me tightly, burying her head once again, not sure whether she wanted to hear my response or not.
Hearing her say this, I tightened my hold on her slightly, "I have been with you my entire life and I will always be with you, now and forevermore."
After our indirect confession we hug in silence for a little while longer before I let go, today we will be spending our time celebrating with our family since we didn't have time yesterday with the clan's celebrations. But before we start our day, I ask Little Yue to show me her Beast Spirit integration. The Ice Phoenix appears from behind her and flies into her body, a cold aura exudes from her body as ice wings grow between her shoulder blades. Her eyes become a brighter shade of blue, almost glowing, as if the pupils are made of fire. Because she can't control her powers properly, some ice starts forming around us, to which she recalls the Spirit. She looks at me with beady and expectant eyes as I give her a compliment, "Your transformation was really beautiful, like an ice fairy that doesn't belong in this world."
Satisfied with my comment she also asks me to show her mine. I integrate with the Frost Monkey King. My body grows larger and firmer, while fur grows all over my body, except my chest and abdomen. I can't say that this mode has the most pleasing appearance, but it doesn't change my face, and it multiplies my strength by 10 times. Thankfully, Little Yue doesn't seem to change after seeing it and reaches out to touch my facial hair, "It's so soft, it's like running my hand through silk." Happy that she wasn't turned away from my transformation my tail comes out from behind my body and wraps around her waist, pulling her closer. Smiling awkwardly, I tell her, "I don't have proper control over my tail yet, so it moves on its own most of the time and likes to wrap around things." However, she doesn't mind it and says that she likes it because it is soft and fluffy, and it feels like I'm holding her.
After I undo my transformation, we both get changed into our day clothes and go out to see our family. First, we have breakfast with our parents and grandparents, before we spent our time with our father and grandfather in the living room while the women make a cake. I would play a couple games of chest with grandfather while Little Yue sits beside me, afterwards I would play against my father as well, both times I would pretend to give a good fight before losing so they can keep their pride as elders. Soon, our mother and grandmother finished the cake and we ate it at the dining table. Little Yue would get me a piece of cake and setting it on my plate like a little wife, before getting her own. Seeing this my father felt a bit awkward, "It might be time that you two sleep in your own rooms from now on, after all you guys are growing up now." He does have a point, but we are still only 6 years old, so my body doesn't react to Little Yue yet, and it feels comfortable to hug someone to sleep. But, before I could say anything Little Yue reacted, "Is it because you don't want us to do that thing you and mother do at night?" Hearing her say that, all of our family, including me start choking on the cake, I quickly ask her, "How do you know about those things?" to which she innocently replies, "One day when I needed to go to the bathroom at night, I could hear mother and father making noises at night, so I sneaked towards their room and took a peek. It was very-" before she could finish I put a hand over her mouth to stop her from talking. Feeling the awkward atmosphere building, my grandfather changes the topic, "The two of you will be going to the Golden Lion Academy next week, they will help you on your path as Spirit Masters. Are you prepared?" The Golden Lion Academy is the academy that is closes to our village and is named after the creator of the school, who had a Golden Lion Beast Spirit, it's not a very advanced school, and there are many on par just a bit further away. "Yes grandfather, we are ready to leave whenever."
The family celebrates for a while longer before it gets dark and everyone goes to bed. In our room Little Yue and I wait a while to make sure everyone is asleep before sneaking out. As we are tip-toeing along the hall, we can hear noises coming from our parents' room. Little Yue looks at the door and begins to walk towards it, but I quickly stop her, block her ears and lead her out of the house. We then sneak out of the village before running to our secret base, when we get there we see Feng Feng already waiting. As we call out to her she runs up and gives us a bear hug, "I'm so glad that I awakened a strong spirit! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stay with the both of you. Today, a lot of people tried to talk to me and make friends with me, but it felt really uncomfortable and I didn't like it. Like they aren't real friends." I give Feng Feng a hug and a kiss on the forehead before letting the girls talk about their day while I prepared some fish to eat. During that time, we showed each other our Beast Spirit integration, and Feng Feng's was exactly like Little Yue's except being a scarlet colour, her flames changing temperature the more excited she gets. When I was showing mine, Little Yue positioned herself behind me so when I integrated my tail automatically wrapped around her, which made Feng Feng look as if she wanted to try as well. In the end, I was forced to stay in my monkey form as they play around with my tail and fur. When we were eating Little Yue brought up the thing about her seeing our parents at night again, since I was a little curious as to what they do I didn't stop her. From what she said mother is a bit of an M and likes to get rough handled a little, but the fervent look in her eyes as she explained what happened made me realise it might have been passed down to the next generation. Just thinking of what it would be like when Little Yue is older, a cold and unapproachable beauty in public who secretly becomes a pet at night, I will have to be careful determining what is considered punishment and reward with her… Luckily Feng Feng doesn't seem to understand any of the talk and just innocently listens to her story. We talk for a little while until the girls get tired, I bring them to the dead tree and pull out some blankets I prepared beforehand. I don't bother explaining to the girls as they have accepted it as something natural for me to do, since I've been producing delicious fish for over 2 years. I lay down first while the two of them take my sides, as we snuggle together and are about to sleep, suddenly!
"Where are the Phoenix Spirits!" A loud and clear voice comes from the direction of the village, more than a kilometre away, it must be someone extremely strong to be able to project his voice this clearly from so far away. Instantly realising that someone has come to kidnap the girls I run out of the tree and get rid of any evidence of human interaction in the area, before returning to the tree and using my Spirit Ring. I use my Illusion Ice Transformation to cover the holes of the dead tree and change it to look like the bark next to it, making it look like a normal tree that has just died.
Village POV:
"Where are the Phoenix Spirits!" A couple people can be seen floating above the village as the leader's voice encases the surroundings, villagers wake up and come out of their houses wandering what is going on. The leaders of the Chen clan and Yan clan come out, frightened as they know they are not a match for whoever is up there.
"Bring us the Phoenix Spirits and we will spare your life!" (Evil Leader)
The clan leaders decide that they can't sacrifice the whole village in an attempt to save the two girls and orders people to go grab them, however when they got to their rooms they found both of them empty. Hearing the subordinates say that they were missing, the people in the air got enraged.
"You think you can hide them from our Spirit Hall, they are probably hiding in one of the commoner's houses! Go! Kill all of them, but make sure the children show you their Spirit's first." (Spirit Hall Leader)
The people behind the Spirit Hall leader acknowledge his orders and begins slaughtering everyone in the village, forcing the children to show their spirits first, before killing them as well. After a while everyone in the village was dead and they did not find the Phoenix Spirits, the leader, being angered blows up the village in hopes to find an underground passage or something but comes up empty.
At his limit, he yells at his fellow Spirit Hall members, "Go search the area, they couldn't have gone far! I refuse to believe we can't even find two 6-year-olds."
All of them split up and search the surrounding woods. One member, finding a lake decides to search around there.
(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Love Is In The Air, Wait That's Blood!', 'Spirit Hall Strikes Again!', 'Here Are The Spirits', 'Never Annoy The Author')
As you guys wanted, here are your Spirits, the Spirits of everyone in the village… Mwhahahaha!
Wulin has one spirit and only one spirit. But since you all complain about my monkey being shit I will mutate it later on in the story.
Wulin POV:
This entire time I was using my Spirit Ability while keeping a hand over both girl's mouths, as I didn't want them to make a sound and alert the Spirit Hall. Although I am angry at what Spirit Hall did, I know that I am still too weak to be able to do anything yet. Also, it may be because I was reborn and kept my memories, I didn't feel too attached to my family. However, killing the entire village without even letting off the children really went too far. The girls are quietly sobbing while shivering, Feng Feng took the hardest hit as she was really attached to her family, while Little Yue still has me alive. After hearing the Spirit Hall leader tell them to search the area the three of us made sure not to make a single sound, soon, someone landed at the lake near us. He gave an exasperated sigh, "It's impossible to find these brats, I mean we don't even know if there really was two Phoenix Spirits awakening, and yet we were sent off and killed an entire village"
Hearing this, I was enraged even further, 'They weren't even sure if there was a Phoenix Spirit here, but they are still willing to kill so many people, Spirit Hall is too inhumane. When I am stronger, I will completely destroy Spirit Hall!' while I was silently swearing, the girls were also doing something similar. The man searched around the lake for a little while before leaving, I let out a sigh of relief and released the girls. Feng Feng burst out crying while Little Yue was still silently sobbing, with some sniffles from time to time. I hugged both of them gently and tried to console them, "It's alright now, they can't find us, we will get revenge in the future, but we are still too weak right now. For now, we must keep quiet for a couple more days to make sure they leave." The two eventually cry themselves to sleep.
For three days I stayed awake, studying my Illusion Ice Transformation, just so that my Illusion Ice Transformation doesn't disappear. During this time the girls already stopped crying and are determined to become stronger, spending all their time to cultivating as well. Now, it is time that we leave the tree and go somewhere else, "Alright, I think it has been enough time, when I wake up we can leave." Before I was able to cancel my Spirit Ability I passed out and landed on Little Yue, squishing her tiny body under me.
I wake up inside the Immortal Realm and spend some time to plan out the most effective way to utilise this Realm. After contemplating for a while, I will break my time up into thirds, spending a third of the time inside the Spirit Ascension Realm upgrading my Spirit Rings, the next third in the Spirit Arena and the remaining time to cultivate my Spirit Energy. In the Spirit Ascension Realm, I didn't bother going to a specific environment and just slaughtered all I could find in the forest, increasing my Spirit Ring to 387-years-old. Afterwards I entered the Spirit Arena and chose to fight monkey type Spirit Beasts around 2000-year-old in a jungle environment. Sometimes against one, sometimes against many, I would watch how they move and learn from it, integrating it into my own movements. Through this I was also able to discover the many disadvantages I had, mainly my speed drops significantly when there is nothing for me to swing around, and when fighting Spirit Beasts stronger than myself, I have no ranged weapons to keep them away. While cultivating, I try to move my tail in complex patterns to increase my control over it, as it is often used as a lethal weapon by the monkey Spirit Beasts.
When I exit the Immortal Realm and wake up in real life, I see the girls sleeping while entangled on my body, shaking them gently I wake them up and prepare to leave. We will be heading towards a low rank academy called Blue Snake Academy, as it is near a Spirit Beast Forest. It is in the opposite direction of the village and should be far enough that it doesn't draw attention. If the girls integrate with their Spirits directly without showing their Spirits and Spirit Marks, the fact that they are Phoenix Spirits shouldn't be known. I don't know if it can be called good, but since everyone in the village is dead, nobody knows our appearance or names, so we don't have to hide our appearances.
We get up and take a bath as we stayed cooped up in the tree for three days. Afterwards, I lead the way and we start our journey, I don't hold their hands this time as I need to stay alert and be ready to react at a moments notice. I plan to go to the Spirit Forest first to get the girls their first Spirit Rings before going to the academy.
It took a week to get to the Spirit Forest and we weren't idle during that time. On the way we would still carry weights and exercising along the way, I was able to increase my strength to 50kg while the girls carried 25kg, Inside the Immortal Realm I spent my time enhancing my Spirit Ring and consolidating my fighting style. Thanks to my genius comprehension it was relatively easy to learn the moves of a monkey, and I was able to create a basic monkey step. Using the power of my toes I am able to grip the earth and push off with a great burst of power, moving rapidly along the surface of the ground. The only problem is its lack in versatility and variability, it can be used to close the distance between opponents or to run away quickly but it is too obvious and rigid. I will see if I can learn Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track when I go to Shrek Academy. I was able to evolve my Illusion Ice Transformation once again when it reached 1000-years-old and turned into a purple Spirit Ring.
While inside the forest we didn't carry any weights as we couldn't be burdened if we ran into a strong Spirit Beast. I would use my observation ability to find a suitable Spirit Ring for the girls, Little Yue wants to become a control/support Spirit Master while Feng Feng wants to become a pure offensive Spirit Master. Along the way I would let the girls fight the spirit beasts we encounter to give them some experience fighting, while I would only help if it looked like they were in danger. Soon I found a suitable Spirit Beast for Feng Feng,
==
Name: Flaming Eagle
Age: 422-years-old
Spirit Ability: Fire Talon Strike
==
I let Feng Feng fight the eagle on her own, and after a long battle she was able to defeat it, but not without some damage. Her clothes were ripped with some scratch marks, thankfully her Fire Phoenix Spirit gives her some immunity towards fire-based attacks, so a weak beast like the Flaming Eagle couldn't burn her. She spent half an hour absorbing the Spirit Ring, and surprisingly the Spirit Ability mutated, possibly due to her dominating Phoenix Spirit. Her ability mutated into Fire Phoenix's Talon Strike. It is a short-ranged ability which makes a Phoenix talon made of fire and strikes the enemy. It has strong penetration and burning effects.
It took a bit longer to find a suitable for Little Yue, but it gave Feng Feng time to get used to her new Ability. After a few hours I found an ice attribute wolf,
==
Name: Frost Wolf
Age: 401-years-old
Spirit Ability: Flash Freeze
==
Thanks to her immunity to ice the Frost Wolf couldn't do anything to her and she quickly killed it, before absorbing its Spirit Ring. Her ability allowed her to freeze the ground around her, slowing enemies by 30%.
Now that they both have their Spirit Rings we can go to the Blue Snake Academy and cultivate, we arrive at a town near the academy and spend a night there. In the morning we asked for directions towards the Blue Snake Academy and went towards there. When we arrived, we had to register our names and pay a small fee to become a part of the school. I paid a little extra to get a noble room for just the three of us. We put all our belongings in the room before I started talking to the girls, "This is where we will stay for a couple years, then we will go to Soutuo City to gain fighting experience and money for the next academy."
"Big Brother, what is the academy called? Is it strong?" (Little Yue)
"It's called Shrek Academy, it's a small and relatively unknown academy with only a few students." (Wulin)
"Big Brother Wulin, what is so good about Shrek Academy? I have never heard my parents talk about it before?" (Feng Feng)
"It's an unknown academy because it only accepts monstrous genius', all the people that graduate from that academy are famous, the minimum requirements for enrolment is to be 12-year-old or younger and have a minimum Spirit Rank of 20. The tuition fee is also 100 gold." (Wulin)
Both girls gasp at the ridiculous requirements just to enrol, but they still ask, "Why is the tuition fee so high?"
I look at them with a slight smile, "Because they don't have enough money to run the academy."
The girls have a lost look in their eyes while thinking, 'Will we be alright?'
And so, started our time at Blue Snake Academy.
(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Vengeance is a Must!', 'Blue Snake Academy', 'School Arc Activate!' 'Will we be Alright?')
Not much to say here, I lost all brain power trying to come up with the slaughter, anyways thanks for reading.
If anyone has special talents and wants to gift me a cover photo that would be cool, it feels lonely without a cover. I don't have anything to pay you, but I guess I can release the one chapter I have stockpiled.
