Bab 37: Ch. 37 - Different but Beautiful
After helping Tian Xin absorb her now second spirit essence, they went back home. As soon as they got home, Xiao Huoyan heated up the food and so they began to eat… in the middle of the night.
"Brother, why can we not just wait and eat in the morning instead?"
"Because I am hungry."
"But this way, we will not want to eat in the morning and then our meal routines will become all messed up!"
"I do not mind eating again in a few hours. You can wait if you want to, but I will not."
She felt it to be hopeless to keep on arguing with her dear little brother. She knew she could not win anyways, so she sighed and then continued eating.
After eating they both went to their beds and fell asleep.

Tian Xin woke up early to make breakfast while her brother was still in bed sleeping.
After a while, Xiao Huoyan woke up and went straight to the kitchen. He could smell the food all the way from his room.
Even though he had eaten a few hours ago, he was still as hungry as ever.
When he came to the kitchen he saw his dear sister, Tian Xin, sit at her seat at table. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
Xiao Huoyan sneaked up behind her and was about to put a blanket around her shoulders when she suddenly turned around.
Xiao Huoyan unconsciously took a step back.
"What?", she asked with a confused expression.
"Your eyes…"
"What is with my eyes?"
"Did you wash your face this morning?"
"No, I did not. Is it really that bad?"
"T-that is not it. Uhm… so you have not looked yourself in the mirror since yesterday, am I right?"
"Stop being so mysterious and just tell me already!"
"Your eyes have turned purple!", Xiao Huoyan yelled as if he would die if he did not answer fast enough.
"W-what?"
"Your. Eyes. Have. Turned. PURPLE!"
"When? Why?!"
"How am I supposed to know? They were not like this last night!"
"Could it be… the orb from yesterday…"
"What orb? Did you eat something wrong?"
"No… but I absorbed the spirit essence you gave me."
"Now that you mention it, your eyes kind of looks the same as the orb I helped you absorb yesterday. Well… except for the flame part."
"Then what should I do now? Will everyone not think I am a demon now?"
"You might as well be a demon with that temper of yours…"
"What did you say?!"
"N-nothing! Just that your eyes are very beautiful like this!"
He really thought of his sister's eyes as very beautiful. The beautiful shade of purple really suited her. Her eyes were indeed extremely beautiful. Different… but beautiful!
"You! I will let it slide this time."
"Thank you dear sister!"
"So, shall we eat, or do you want to keep thinking about what to do with my eyes for the rest of the day?"
"Why do we not eat first and then think about what to do with your eyes? It is not that I do not care, but I am really hungry", Xiao Huoyan said while smiling foolishly.
"You are hungry? Again?! Did we not eat just a few hours ago?"
"If you thought I was not going to be hungry, then why did you wake up early to prepare breakfast?"
'Fine! You win… again', she thought to herself, but she could not possibly tell her brother that.
She did not answer and began eating instead.
"Did you not say that you were not going to be hungry in the morning?", Xiao Huoyan said with a bright smile on his face.
"Keep quiet and eat your food!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"You dare to laugh at me?"
"Hahahaha, okay! Sorry!"
"You better be!"

After Tian Xin and Xiao Huoyan finished eating, they both went into the other world which they had cultivated in yesterday. They stayed there for a few hours before coming back to eat lunch. As they sat at the table in the kitchen after they had just finished eating, Tian Xin decided to start a conversation.
"Uhm… When are we going to The Azure Sea Division?"
"When you are strong enough."
"When will that be."
"I do not know."
"Are we not going there so that we can both enroll in The Azure Dragon School? Are we not both going there to become stronger?! Why should we just stay here instead of going there where we can actually gain some serious results?!"
"If you think they have more resources than we do, then you are wrong. If you so wish, I can take you to a place that would give you at least thrice of the results you would get in The Azure Dragon School. Quit complaining about my plans unless you have a better plan yourself."
"I… Sorry. I just wanted to…"
"I know you want to get stronger. I also want to get stronger. I know you want to get revenge on the entire Jin Clan for what they did. I too wish to get my revenge on them. I want us to go there to get our revenge together, but we have to be strong enough. None of us know the true strength of the Jin Clan. Do not get blinded by your thirst for revenge. It will only do you harm."
"… You are right brother. Let us wait until the both of us are strong enough."
Xiao Huoyan did not want to go to The Azure Dragon School too soon. He knew that there would be youths from the Jin Clan there. He knew that he would be able to control his temper, but he did not know if his dear sister would be able to. Therefore he wanted her to be strong enough not to get bullied before going there.
'If she has to start fights left and right, she should at least be able to win them all, as to not disgrace herself nor lose her confidence', Xiao Huoyan thought to himself.
He did not think of his sister as weak, but he knew that those monstrous geniuses at The Azure Dragon Academy would be the most arrogant and proud jerks that one could possibly find. He did not want to see her hurt.
Even though he knew that he himself could shut them all up if he wanted to, he did not want to expose himself too soon. Not until he had reached the peak of cultivation. He had to be sure about being the strongest before he decided to confront his father.
Until he was strong enough to reveal himself to the world, his sister would have to mostly rely on her own strength. If she really needed him to reveal all of his secrets, he would not hesitate to do it, but he did not want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
