Bab 13: Ian
There were shuffling noises coming from the room next door once again.
The bed creaked softly, before the friction between rubber and wood gave out a swoosh swoosh sound.
Jasper heard the person slowly make her way out of the room, walking towards the direction of the bathroom.
A click sounded and the bathroom fans turned on, with the doors squeaking shut.
He heard water running before the door was once again opened.
The noise of steps slowly got closer and closer as the wooden floor under it gave out creaks every so often, and 2 light knocks hit against the wooden door of his room.
"Gege, you awake?"
Hesitating slight, he replied, "Sorry, did I wake you?"
He got up from his bed and made his way to the door, opening it just enough for half of his body to show.
Chen Mei Ling turned her head up drowsily, looking not fully awake yet.
Her small hand rubbed at the corner of her eye.
Jasper turned his head back to look at the clock on the old wall against which a small desk was located.
It was not even 4 in the morning.
Turning back towards the little girl, he gently placed the palms of his hand on top of her messy bed hair and gave a somewhat bitter smile.
"It's still early. Go back to sleep, en?"
"Mmm...."
Replying half consciously, Xiao Ling slowly made her way back to her own room, clumsily climbing back onto her bed.
Jasper closed the door once again.
Turning back towards his own bed, the mattress sunk a bit when he sat down.
He whispered softly to the small dragon inside his mana pool.
"Ian, is there a way we can communicate without me having to speak out loud?"
Happily answering his mother with enthusiasm, Ian flew around in small circles.
<Mother can just send it through voice transmissions.>
Jasper hit his forehead against his palm, feeling muddle-headed.
Remembering how Chen Mei Ling got so flustered when they had first communicated through voice transmission, he couldn't help but become a little doubtful.
<You know about voice transmission?>
<Yup! I don't understand how, but I seem to have some knowledge engraved into me.>
<Then is there a way for you to gain a physical form?>
<Hmm...I can, but I'm currently too weak.>
Jasper remembered the many treasures he kept within his spatial ring.
Focusing his mind on the black band strung on his index finger, he rummaged through the mountains of precious herbs, weapons, books, there seemed to be an endless amount in that 100 cubic meter space.
Randomly grabbing a handful of shiny crystal shards, he held it in front of the area where his dantian is located.
<Can you use these?>
Looking past the barriers of Jasper's mana pool, Ian's head tilted slightly at the sight of those beautiful shards.
<What are those mother?>
<Spirit Stones>
