At night, in a village not far from Taiyang town, named Yunxu village. The dark night sky illuminated by the blazing light of fire burned down every house that was in that place.
Many houses have been destroyed with burning logs where. Many people were also burning in the flames. Blood was inundated at some point. Everyone is dead. Now it leaves only a child lying dying. Blood kept coming out from the stab wound on his stomach. His pink clothes had been littered with blood.
The boy looked at a burning house beside him. His vision was blurry, but he could still see that there were two burned bodies nearby. "I-mom.. D-dad.." His hands were trying to reach the bodies of his parents. But he had no energy to move.
The boy felt a pain in his stomach that was pierced earlier. But what was even more painful for him was seeing both of his parents being killed before his eyes. Even the people who were in the village were killed, leaving only him who would soon catch up with them.
The boy kept looking at the bodies of his parents, "I can't die now. I have to find that guy. I must repay her actions." Inner that child. "I don't want to die now.. I can't die now.."
"Your desire to stay alive is great."
The girl heard a faint voice in her ear. He thought maybe it was just his hallucination before he died. However, the voice came back with a question that made him turn his head, "You want to live? I can keep you alive."
In his blurry view, the boy saw a teenage boy who looked a few years older than him, standing beside him. The teenager was wearing a black cloth that covered his eyes. Although there was a cloth covering his eyes, he seemed to be able to see clearly.
The boy did not answer either. It was as if he had no energy, even just to say.
"I can grant that wish. I can keep you alive. If you accept my offer, then I will keep you alive on one condition." The teenager was silent for a moment. He also sat down next to the girl.
"I want you to grant 1 of my wishes. If one day I collect it from you, then you have to grant it. I'm not gonna say it now. So think well. You want revenge on the man who committed this crime, right? That's why you have to stay alive." Continue the teenager. "Determine your choice now. You want to stay alive. or die, catch up with the people in this place?"
"Would he really do it? Is he really gonna make me live, even if I'm gonna die in a minute?" Inner of the girl. He looked at the teenager beside him with half-open eyes. He slowly nodded, "I. i-want. h-live.."
"Good choice!" The teenager said with a happy smile.

1 month later..
"Are you trying to kill yourself again?" Said a girl who looked to be 10 years old. He looked at a teenage boy leaning against a tree in the forest. The teenager's clothes looked torn in some parts.
"You're so stupid. Hurt yourself by suicide. But you didn't die and just gave your body pain. So stupid!" Say the boy again while folding his hands on his chest.
The young man who was currently leaning in front of him was Li Xiang. While the girl before him was the child he had saved back then, named Xiao Xing Fu.
"Hey, hey, I'm your teacher! Be polite to me!" Li Xiang Protest.
Xiao Xing Fu instead stomped on Li Xiang's palm loudly, "Heh! There are teachers who teach untrue things to their students! Have a child kill his own teacher!"
"A-aakhh, s-sickness, get that leg out of my hand!" Said Li Xiang with a cry of pain.
Xiao Xing Fu put his foot away from Li Xiang's palm. He snorted in annoyance, "Just being stepped on is already sick! But a more painful suicide never deterred you! You idiot!"
Li Xiang instantly stood right before Xiao Xing Fu, "What's the matter? You don't have to lecture me, you little dwarf." He immediately flicked his finger on Xiao Xing Fu's forehead making the child's head slightly jerk back.
Xiao Xing Fu pouted. He stomped on Li Xiang's foot hard, "A-akh.. Shhh.." Li Xiang hissed in pain.
Li Xiang sat on the ground while stroking his stepped foot. He glanced back and stuck out his tongue, "Blee, not sick at all. A dwarf like you won't make me sick." His ejek.
Xiao Xing Fu slightly glanced back and snorted. After that, he went back.
Li Xiang laughed, "Hahaha it was so nice to see the boy getting angry. She looks so cute."

The next day at noon, outside the cave...
"Hahaha, this is my lucky day. Unexpectedly, the forest that I lived in for a dozen years has poison plants that I have been looking for for several years. I thought poison plants weren't in this forest." Li Xiang said with pleasure.
"I'd better mix the poisonous plant with the soup I'm making right now. So I don't have to wait for this soup to ripen and just make it."
Li Xiang included a leaf that was shaped like a 3-leaved clover, but had the size of an adult's palm. The color is also different from the usual clover leaves, because these leaves have a blue color with red spots.
"I only need to wait about 1 hour for the soup mixed with this plant to ripen. After that, I'll try it!" Li Xiang smiled happily.

Xiao Xing Fu walked up to the cave that had been his residence for a month with Li Xiang. He walked with a rabbit in his hand. The corpse of the rabbit he was carrying was no ordinary rabbit. Because this rabbit is actually a rabbit monster that has speed in terms of jumping and running.
It was very difficult to get the rabbit that Xiao Xing Fu had obtained and the number of these monsters was not much, so it fell into the rare category. The meat that this rabbit has is also very soft. Even if it burned this rabbit meat without any seasoning, it would taste very delicious.
Xiao Xing Fu was looking for this rabbit not without reason. He ordered Li Xiang to get it before sunset. If he obtained it before that time, then Li Xiang would teach him how to cultivate. Xiao Xing Fu was not willing to miss this opportunity either.
During this time, Xiao Xing Fu had only been taught a little how to fight and Li Xiang had never been willing to teach him cultivation. So today is his chance.
As Xiao Xing Fu had reached the front of the cave, he was shocked to see his teacher lying near a large guji that was on the fire with the fire extinguished.
Xiao Xing Fu immediately approached Li Xiang quickly and placed the corpse of the rabbit near the large urn. "Hey, what's wrong with you?! What happened to you?!" He said in a bit of panic.
"What if he dies? If he really dies, then I won't be able to learn to cultivate." Xiao Xing Fu said in a panic. He examined Li Xiang's breathing. However, he did not feel any breath from Li Xiang.
"How is this?! He's not breathing! If he dies, then what about–wait! Didn't this happen often when he committed suicide? But he'll come back to life after some time. Huftt. I forgot about that. I thought he was really gonna die." Xiao Xing Fu sighed in relief. He stood up and looked into the urn partially filled with a slightly blue soup. "Why is this soup so strange? Is it possible that he tried to kill himself again and this time used poison into the soup?" Mumbled.
Xiao Xing Fu shook his head, "I didn't expect to meet someone as crazy as him." His inner being while staring at Li Xiang.
"I can't let it go on like this. If he comes back alive at night, then I might be considered a failure in doing his orders and if that happens, he won't teach me how to cultivate. Aarggh, but how do I wake up people who are not breathing?" Xiao Xing Fu muttered annoyedly.
He who was thinking hard at first, suddenly remembered something. "Maybe that way will work!" Mumbled. He looked at the jar filled with soup.
I guess what Xiao Xing Fu would do? Answer in the comment column yes.. ⁇ ' '_____
