Empress
Episode 17 - Sword of Moksha

" I'm your Spiritual Animal now"

" I'll let you go, you don't have to be my animal"

Xiao Shi wanted to free her, but the release of the blood bond between Master and his Beasts was extremely dangerous. Teng She was a Legendary Dragon who had long since gotten used to being free. It would be very unfair for him if he would later have to follow Xiao Shi wherever he went. Animals that had ties would not be able to go free without their master's permission, so Xiao Shi let him go, but inexplicably Teng She did not want to be let go. Shouldn't that be good for him?

" It's doomed" said Teng She, then she recited the spell and a scroll appeared in her hand, giving the scroll to Xiao Shi.

" It's a scroll from the sky. It is written that one day I will have to devote myself to someone as my master to make amends. It's just that I didn't think that beating me was a woman" he said.

" You underestimate him. Though you could have died in his hands earlier" said Yuan annoyed.

Xiao Shi read the scroll, all this time he was not sure of any decision like this, all this time it was just a rumor he had received by word of mouth, but now? look, he even read scrolls from the sky. It is written that one day Teng She will have to devote herself to someone and be filial and serve him wholeheartedly, that way if Teng She managed to do so then she would be allowed to go back to the realm of the gods and live there. Although Xiao Shi's decision would not change, he gave his scroll back to Teng She.

" Whatever it is I don't want to force, I'll let you bond with me now. But if one day you feel uncomfortable with me you can say it, I'll set you free"

Teng She nodded her head in agreement.

" Have you guys finished talking? We have to find-" Long's words stopped because Teng She interrupted him.

" You!!! Return my sister!" Teng She snatched the rabbit that was on Long's sling.

" Your sister? How does a Dragon have a Rabbit's sister?" ask Long in astonishment.

" It's none of your business" then Teng She rubbed the rabbit, and the rabbit went missing.

"What made you come here?" ask Teng She.

" We're looking for the Christaldeu Flower"

" Christaldewith? What's for?"

" It's none of your business" Long said. He seemed to reply to what Teng She had done earlier.

" Do you know that?" guess Xiao Shi.

" Of course, I'm the one guarding the flower" everyone sparkled to hear what Teng She said.

" Alright, let's go there" Xiao Shi said and was taken in by Teng She.

"follow me"

The trip to the flower spot was not too far away, Teng She said the flower was in the cave where it rested.

This time they were one group, no one else separated. Including the princes, they followed Xiao Shi now and ignored their hunting intent.

" So, is this your goal of forcing you to come along?" ask Cheng.

Xiao Shi simply smiled, then nodded.

" I don't know what you're trying to find this flower for, but seeing what happened I think you've kept too many secrets from everyone, even your own family"

" I'm sorry"

" But brother, even though our Shi'er has many secrets, wasn't he great? Wahhh I even envy her" Yan jumped up and embraced Xiao Shi while patting her shoulder.

" Hemm, you're right" Cheng confirmed.

" Of course, even Big Brother Xun said that the Dragon was extremely powerful, but he was defeated by our Shi'er. You should be proud brother, shouldn't you, Brother Xun?"

" Right, so far I have never heard of anyone being able to defeat a Legendary Dragon" Xun replied

While Teng She was just glaring listening to the brother's sister's chatter.

" We've arrived"

A very large and dark cave was right in front of them. The cave looks very creepy, a lot of moss around the outside wall of the cave. The cave looks disgusting. Don't forget the big leech that sticks to the cave wall, it really looks like a monster place. Are there flowers for treatment in a place like this? Is Teng She playing them? Was the real purpose was to give them to the leech as food?

" You live here?" ask Yan.

Teng She nodded. " Why?"

" it's so disgusting"

" It's just an illusion" Teng She flicked her hands and the disgusting things they saw disappeared instantly, changing into an extremely beautiful scene.

The cave now looks beautiful, the outside of the Cave is surrounded by very beautiful and shiny crystals. The dark cave is now turned into a light crystal that is on the cave wall. Inside the cave there are many rare plants, when viewed from outside the cave it looks small, but when you enter it turns out it is very wide. Everyone was amazed to see it, this was like a paradise plant.no more suspicion now, it turns out this illusion is used so that no one tries to do evil things to existing plants. the plants must be preserved and maintained so as not to become extinct because of the actions of greedy human beings, Teng She's efforts to keep it successful, and the, so far no one's ever made it in if it wasn't for his invitation. Those who come or even just pass by are too afraid to face the big leech leeches, of course, those who pass by will think of what creepy animals are inside if the outside is like that.

Long walked very quickly, he continuously smelled the flowers, he was excited to see this, the myriad of rare plants he had been looking for a long time ago.

" May I bring two of each of these plants? I want—"

" No."

Not yet had Long finished his words, Teng She had already cut them off. This made the light from Long's face dim.

" What is Long's flower?" asked Xiao Shi.

" right"

" Take as necessary" Teng She left the party and turned to her resting place, on the rock. He opened his body and closed his eyes.

While the others saw the plants and inhaled the smell, Xiao Shi actually felt that someone was calling out to him.

'Xiao Shi's'

'Xiao Shi, come here'

'Xiao Shi I'm here, come closer to me'

Xiao Shi searched around, he saw that the people with him no one called him or were looking at him, they were all busy with their respective activities. The voice echoed in Xiao Shi's ear, then his gaze was fixed on a rock standing upright. He saw the stone, and sure enough, the sound had come from the stone.

No matter where the push came from but Xiao Shi walked up to the stone that called out to him, he could not control his own body, the closer he got, the louder and buzzing in his ears.

'Right, come closer to me'

Teng She who had fallen asleep heard that voice.

Nawat, that's the sound.

" Don't go near her!!!" Teng She got up from her place and shouted at Xiao Shi. His shout was able to grab everyone's attention, Teng She tried to run towards Xiao Shi to mebgahdang her, but like there was a wall blocking her, she could not get close to Xiao Shi.

As it was hypnotized, Xiao Shi walked closer and closer. Seeing that Teng She approached the people and stood right in front of the flowers. He recited the spell and stuck out his hand making a shield to protect them all.

" Help me. Take out your shields or we'll blow up here"

" What's going on?!!" cheng asked in panic.

" This is not the time to explain, let's help me!"

Hearing that they all immediately approached and made their shields and put them together. Although they did not know what happened, they continued to follow what Teng She said.

" Now say! What's going on?!!" exclaimed Cheng. He was very worried and he felt he had to know what was happening, his sister just walked towards the end of the Cave, and Teng She was actually here with them.

" Your sister will approach the stone, if she succeeds, it will explode"

" exploded? Then why don't we protect her too?" ask Yan

" The explosion will have no effect on your sister, but it will affect her surroundings"

" What rock is that? Why would a rock blow something up?" ask Yuan.

" It's not a rock. It was a sword that was lowered from the sky and turned into stone" Teng She explained.

" The Sword of Mokhsa" murmured Xun.

" You're right, it's the Sword of Moksha" Teng She confirmed.

Xiao Shi had arrived right in front of the stone, he touched the stone, grasped it, then pulled it. Little by little the stone began to crack, getting crackier, Xiao Shi increasingly pulled it with all his might, then the stone exploded and shattered. The explosion was enormous, shaking the entire earth and sky, even Long and the others almost lost their balance, the shock occurring for quite a long time. Make them have to spend more energy to maintain the shield.

After the shock was completed, a very dazzling light appeared. Long, Yuan, Teng She and the others stopped their shields and crossed their hands in front of his face.

It was Xiao Shi.

She was enveloped in light, with one eye silver and the other golden, and there was also a sign of a flower. He wore a black-colored suit with a beautiful golden complexion, accompanied by a beautiful sword on his grasp. Coupled with his hair that flew in the wind. So endearing. His face was not covered in a veil and his hat, making him look absolutely perfect.

Everyone admired the beauty before them, the perfect beauty. Then before long the light began to dim, the sword also began to disappear and turn into a white-colored light, then entered Xiao shi's body. At the same time, Xiao Shi fell to the ground. Her clothes were back as before, including her veil. Her eyes returned to normal, a sign of her flowers also gone. He really came back like before.

"Xiao Shi!!" exclaimed Cheng, Yan, and Xun in unison.

Everyone came up to Xiao Shi who had fallen on the ground, while Teng She stared at the place.

That face, that face was like a stranger. It's like I know him, why there's this weird vibe in me. That sword, that sword cannot be owned by just anyone, only one person can have it. But who, why did I forget everything. What the hell's going on? Who is this woman really? Why did the sword call him? Why does his face feel so familiar to me.
