Life Drain System

Chapter 76 - You Do Not Have To...

    "Great, then let's be on our way." Yueliang said as they start walking to the door.

    Walking and talking as they walk outside of the door, Lady Qing trips from letting herself get distracted.

    *Ah 

    She lets out a soft and quiet groan of pain as she catches herself. 

    Seeing this, Yueliang steps closer extending his hand and asks. "Are you alright? ..." Before noticing blood on her wrapped right arm. "I am sorry, I meant to deal with this before. May I see your arm really quick?"

    "Why do you need to see my arm?" Qing asks as she clasps his hand with her left, and stands back up.

    "I am the one who injured you, and while it was not a fight to the death, I clearly went too far. I will take responsibility for my actions, so once again may I see your arm?"

    "You do not have to do that, honestly it is fine. It will heal on its own. Plus to us our battle scars are like badges of honor."

    "Alright, however if we get into a fight I make no guarantees' on your safety." Yueliang says.

    Reluctantly she says while holding out her arm. "Alright."

    "If you really want the scar, I can just heal the bone and muscle, then only partially fix the skin." Yueliang offers.

    "You can do that, alright." She says with a smile, as it is better than having it disappear.

    Hearing her reply, he begins to pull up the sleeve covering her injured arm that has blood soaking it. And then starts unwrapping her arm that is covered in a bloody bandage. After completely unwrapping it, Yueliang focus and guides his chi to stop the bleeding out, making the blood flow through mid air.

      While seeing the blood flowing threw her veins and arteries again, one could see the color returning to her pale hand. Yueliang then starts guiding his chi into the different types of cells while beginning to analyze them, and then create create new ones, and making the bone grow back first. After that was done, next came the veins and arteries, then the muscles. Having finished that, Yueliang then works on her skin next until there is only a thin layer, that is enough to keep the blood from leaving her body.

    "Phew, that was a little more tiring than I thought, it takes a lot of focus. Anyways, in order to restock on some of the nutrients your body is missing, you should eat leafy green vegetables, liver, bananas, potatoes, and orange juice. You should be all better soon." Yueliang recommends.

    "That was amazing, how did you do that, it did not seem like magic, so what was it?" Qing asks.

    "Well, that was chi, however unless you learn it with a special technique, it can be very dangerous. However if you would like to learn, I have some back in my town, and actually the would be perfect for your people."

    "While I am interested, I do not know about that. If they see something that looks like magic the will probably refuse." Qing says with a down trodden voice.

    "What if I explained to them, that it would not be much different than what they are doing now?" 

    "How is that? What do you mean? Also, what is chi?"

    "Well, I do have body cultivation manuals. They will speed up your growth, as well as making you stronger, healthier, more durable, etc. Anyways, you will also get to use chi. This is the spiritual energy all around us, it just has yet to be assigned to matter. Thus while cultivators guide it, and even assign it to matter, they end up producing just about any phenomena that they desire so long as they understand either how it works, or well that can be learned later. There is much to learn, although I am sure once you all start cultivation, you will not regret it."

    "So this spiritual energy, is all around us? Is it alive?" Qing asks.

    "Yes to the first question, and yes to the second. It can think, move, and do anything living beings can do and more, as they are what make up everything including you and I. The only thing they lack is a physical form as they have yet to get it, unlike us who have been created already." Yueliang explains.

      "I see. Well, thank you it feels better now."

      "I am glad to hear that, also in the future you might want to be more careful with big wounds like that. You lost so much blood, I am surprised you are still living, let alone moving, or thinking." Yueliang smiles at the fact that she is healed for the most part now.

      "In the future, I will try to keep that in mind. Regardless, we should probably get back on our way right?" Qing asks seeing that more than a few hours have passed.

      "You are right." Yueliang says as he starts walking again.

      The two continue their journey as they talk. Making their way back into the rain forest Yueliang asks. "Just curious, what should we do about the giant spiders? Do we go around, or just run through?"

      "Pft, hahah. Seriously? Alright, those are actually our pets. However we normally only use them during war time. Either way, I hope they did not scare you too much."

    "Are you messing with me? You actually call those giant spiders pets? They chased us through the rain forest for a long distance, and I well killed a few of them thinking they were going to eat us." Yueliang explains their past experience with them.

    "You killed some? Too bad for those poor creatures. Anyways, they probably thought you were going to feed them or play with them, as they are like little children."

    "Sorry for killing your pets, I honestly thought they were going to eat me." Yueliang says feeling kind of sad that he killed some creatures just because of a misunderstanding.

    "Well, hopefully they are not too sad. Also, they only eat animals not people, hence why we keep them here. Also, they make great mounts for long distance travel. Anyways, to answer your earlier question we should just go through, and check on them while we are at it." Qing says with a caring face, looking as though she were worried about her pet dog or something.

    "So what exactly are we going to do with them? I mean it does not really seem like you can play fetch or something else with them?" Yueliang asks while silently thinking to himself. 'Why spiders? Well, I guess I will have to get over this eventually anyway.' 

    "Well, we ride them of course, maybe find some food with them, or place some games. Either way, these spiders are quite playful and enjoy games. In the mean time we still have some distance to cross before we even get to that point." Qing answered.

    "Alright." Yueliang sighed, saying nothing more as they walked in silence for the duration of the trip to see the spiders anyway.

    In the mean time, during their semi long trip, the two see some beautiful sceneries. Birds flying and catching insects of various types and sizes. There where Bengal tiger cubs playing, leopards hunting. As well as many interesting sights, Yueliang never thought he would see.

    Breaking the silence, Yueliang asks with soul communication. "Shen Hu, do you think you could keep up with my flying motorcycle?"

    "Keep up, pft, I bet I could beat it in a race." Shen Hu said thinking it would be fun to try, although he knew the motorcycle was faster, he wants to push himself to get stronger. However with curiosity getting the better of him, he asks. "Are you asking because of her? I mean she does seem to be getting weaker the farther we go on." He adds.

    "Oh really you want to try that? And to answer your question yes." Yueliang replies.

    "Would I have said it if I did not want to try it?" Shen Hu replies with a question to answer his question, with determination beaming from his eyes.

    "Alright then, let me just ask her real quick, and wow her face looks pretty pale, I mean her skin is like white jade normally, however she is looking worse and worse. Shen Hu, it seems we have to head straight back to the town." Yueliang says as he looks at her face.

      Swiftly after finishing speaking with Shen Hu, Yueliang says to Qing. "Do you mind if we speed up this trip a little? You look a little unwell."

      "I am perfectly fine." Qing answers as he trips, catches herself, then spins around as if she were drunk.

    "Alright, please forgive me for this." Yueliang mumbled as he reaches to his right and pulls his flying motorcycle out of thin air. Climbing onto it, Yueliang reaches to his left and pulls her drunk like body onto the motorcycle. Upon getting her seated on it, she hugs him from behind and says. "Ooh, soft, where have you been for so long my teddy bear?"

      Yueliang just says in reply. "Waiting for you to come with me." Then with soul communication, Yueliang asks Shen Hu. "Are you ready?"

      Shen Hu nods as Yueliang starts the engine, and Shen Hu says. "GO!" 

      Hearing this, the two speed off at the same time, one on the ground going faster than he ever has before in his life, and the other, rising up into the sky before speeding up too much.
