The Ancient Realm Goddess
Bright Fur and Dark Fur
Right now Qing Yue'er and her two comrades looked out of an inn. They just rented two rooms for the night. But out of curiosity about the tradition of sending lanterns to the Gods, they decided to take a look.
There were a lot of Li townspeople who had already left the house. They all had bright faces with lanterns in each other's hands. Some of them are with family, or even some are with a partner.
"Do we have to buy lanterns?" Jing Ling asked.
"Yes, we might as well do what they do," Qing Yue'er said.
After that they moved to find a lantern seller. Apparently there are many who sell it even with different forms of lanterns.
"Miss, do you want to buy a lantern? We have a very cheap price!" The lantern seller immediately offered his wares to Qing Yue'er's group.
The unwilling Qing Yue'er finally took three, for herself, Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia. After paying, they prepared to leave. But the seller offered to lend a brush and ink to write down the expectations on the lantern.
"Thank you," Qing Yue'er said as she received the brush. He began to write hope on the surface of the lantern.
"What did you write?" jing Ling asked from the side.
Qing Yue'er did not reply to him. There wasn't much he expected, just a success. Yes, he wants to succeed but not just in one thing. He wants to finish what he has to do. Whatever he strives for, he must always succeed. Isn't that simple?
He wrote it down on the surface of the lantern, "For something high, that might control human life. Success is always with me."
"You don't want to write something about me?" Mo Jingtian suddenly asked from his mind.
Qing Yue'er chuckled. "You're too hopeful."
Even though he said that, he actually left a symbol there. It was an image of Vermillion and Blue Phoenix feathers crossing each other. As some people knew, Blue Phoenix was a divine beast belonging to Qing Yue'er. While Vermillion was an identical beast to Mo Jingtian.
Qing Yue'er smiled. Perhaps only he and the person concerned may know what the symbol means.
"I'm done" Qing Yue'er said. He looked at Jing Ling and the finished Ming Yuxia as well. After that, they brought the lantern to the city center, where there were many people gathered.
Flying lanterns should not be arbitrary. There is someone who leads to tell the time that is determined by the rules of nature. When the allotted time arrived, everyone started flying the lanterns simultaneously. Qing Yue'er and the other two did the same.
The lanterns flew high towards the sky. It created such a beautiful sight when seen by the eyes. High wavy yellow and red oceans.
Qing Yue'er observed where those lanterns would end up. He wanted to know if the lantern would really end up in the hands of a God.
As the lantern flew higher, suddenly the sky changed its color. The light of the full moon, which was originally bright, was now covered with darkness. At that moment the lantern was swallowed by an invisible black hole. However it happened for only a few moments before the darkness finally disappeared. Miraculously, after the darkness was gone, the lanterns had simply vanished.
Qing Yue'er was stunned. This is indeed quite an amazing thing. "Is that the sign that the lanterns have been delivered?" qing Yue'er asked the person next to her.
"Yes, that's right."
Finally Qing Yue'er nodded in understanding. For a while, he wouldn't ask anything else. The curiosity is done here.
After the event was over, people began to disperse. They all left the crowd to return to their homes. Qing Yue'er did the same. He and his two companions returned to the inn.
As the day grew night, Qing Yue'er reopened the bamboo slips she had obtained from the results of the competition. That slip containing the Black Hole Technique wanted him to learn tonight. Accompanied by Mo Jingtian, he finally began to learn the technique.
Qing Yue'er focused the spiritual qi in her hands. A faint light had already coated his palm. Then he formed a hand seal as per Mo Jingtian's instructions.
But that's not an easy thing. Creating such a small hole alone had already consumed a lot of spiritual qi in his dantian. It seemed like Qing Yue'er would have to train her often to get used to it. If trained more often then it would be a devastating technique.
Qing Yue'er took a breath and exhaled slowly. He turned his head to look at Mo Jingtian who was also looking at him. Right now the man was still wearing a silver mask to hold back his charm.
"It's a little difficult" Qing Yue'er said.
"It's okay. You'll be able to if you train it often."
Qing Yue'er smiled, then she moved to check on the baby bear that had already been living within the dimension for a few days. He carried the furry animal with his anxiety. "Oh, this is so funny."
Mo Jingtian only noticed what Qing Yue'er was doing in silence. He thought the girl was funnier than the two bear babies.
"What while you're here the two of them don't whine at all?" Qing Yue'er asked curiously. Because all this time he had never heard a baby bear make the slightest sound.
"No, if he whines I will throw him into the pond," Mo Jingtian replied.
"...."
The corner of Qing Yue'er's lips twitched slightly. "You're really mean."
Now he finally knows. This baby bear instead of not whining, perhaps they felt afraid of Mo Jingtian's existence. Right, if Ying Jun alone was afraid of the man then what was up with the baby bear who was not even a month old?
Qing Yue'er did not feel surprised. This is a good thing, at least he does not need to repeatedly check the condition of his bear babies.
"What if these bear babies are named?" qing Yue'er asked. Suddenly he came up with the idea to name the baby bear.
"That's a good idea," Mo Jingtian replied.
Qing Yue'er stroked her chin while thinking deeply. The two bear babies had different fur colors. One of them is light brown, while the other looks darker. The light is the female, while the dark is the male.
"What name fits? I'm not a good name-giver" Qing Yue'er muttered.
"Light Fur and Dark Fur." Mo Jingtian said indifferently.
"...."
Qing Yue'er wanted to laugh. He thought the name that Mo Jingtian would give would be something so grand, but it turned out that the man only gave the name at random. Does the name have to be that simple?
"Alright, since you are someone who gave your name then this baby bear should thank you," Qing Yue'er said. After which he directly brought the two baby bears and forcibly gave them to Mo Jingtian.
"...."
In the end Mo Jingtian could only stare at Qing Yue'er flatly. To be honest he is not animal lover, especially with baby bears who are still vulnerable as they are now. But because Qing Yue'er forced him, he finally accepted.
In protest, Mo Jingtian secretly sent a sharp glare at the two baby bears that were in her carrier. Of course it makes the baby bear tremble in fear. They were really intimidated by his cold figure.
If Qing Yue'er found out about it for sure she wanted to hit the man with her rotary stick. Why is that man so heartless?
