Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen Chapter 138
Advertisement
The girl seemed to be a miniature version of a 21-22-year-old girl.
Xu Ming noticed that her clothes were wet, and to not get her sick, he removed her dress and placed her on the bed, covering her with a blanket.
He placed the dress on the side to dry off.
He walked inside the washroom to wash his face and hands before coming back to the room.
"The world is much more vast than I expected. There are so many things that I'm ignorant about, and now there's a species like that as well. I wonder when she'll wake up. I do want to hear her answers about her species," Xu Ming muttered as he observed her sleeping face.
He sat on a chair as he waited for her to wake up. He decided not to cultivate at the moment as it would be bad for him if she woke up and left without him even knowing about it.
Xu Ming waited on the chair silently as he watched her sleep.
"I wonder if there are more tiny people like her. If they have a Kingdom, it would be so interesting to see it," Xu Ming muttered as he stared at her.
Time kept passing slowly, and just like that, 10 hours passed away, but she didn't wake up.
Xu Ming stood up from his chair and walked closer to her.
He stood near her as he watched her. He wasn't sure if she was still breathing or not.
He extended his finger towards her nose and checked if she was breathing, and it turned out that he couldn't feel the air coming out of her nose.
He frowned as he removed the blanket from her and checked to see if her chest was moving up and down on not.
*sigh*
He breathed in relief as he saw her breathing.
"At Least she's breathing. It might be because she's so small that it's tough to see,"
He again covered her body with the blanket and walked back to the chair.
Another round of waiting began while the girl slept, Xu Ming waited.
The waiting lasted for another 7 hours before the girl finally showed a movement.
"Mmm"
She stretched her arms as she slowly opened her eyes.
Suddenly she remembered what had happened to her and she sat up straight, with caution.

"Where am I?" she muttered as she looked around. She started looking from the left, whereas Xu Ming was sitting on her right side.
"My dress?" she exclaimed in shock as she saw her dress lying there.
She looked down and realized that she wasn't wearing anything.
"It got wet in the rain. I removed it so that you don't get sick," Xu Ming said to her.
The girl shockingly turned to her right and saw Xu Ming.
"Who are you?" She said as she covered her body under the blanket.
"I'm someone who lives here. I saw you fall from the sky under the heavy rain. You were unconscious, so you brought you here," Xu Ming said.
"Wait, isn't this supposed to be the mortal world? How can you see me?" she let out with a shocked look on her face.
"Is there something wrong with being able to see you?" Xu Ming inquired.
"Of Course. It should be impossible for you. No mortals can see us! Only the people from the Demon Realm or the ones from the Heavenly Realm should be able to see us! You can't be mortal! Who are you?" She asked Xu Ming with a look of disbelief. "Did I arrive in the Demon Realm, or is it the Heavenly Realm?"
"You're neither in the Heavenly Realm nor in the Demon Realm. You're in the mortal world. I can guarantee that" Xu Ming told her.
"You're not mortal, are you? Who are you?" the girl asked him.
"I'll answer after you answer me. Tell me who you are first," Xu Ming said.
"I'm Valeria. I'm from the Spirit Fairy Species. Now tell me about you," She asked Xu Ming. "I know you're not mortal. Which realm are you from?"
"I'm from the Heavenly Realm," Xu Ming replied.
"I thought so. You don't seem like a demon. You seem too soft for that," she let out as she observed Xu Ming.
The girl seemed to believe Xu Ming.
Xu Ming didn't reply to her statement; instead, he asked his question.
"What are Spirit Fairies?"
The girl looked at him in confusion.
"You're from the Heavenly Realm, but you don't know about us, Spirit Fairies?" she asked.
"I came to the Mortal World when I was young. I didn't get the time to study in the Heavenly Realm," Xu Ming replied.

"Oh, that does explain your lack of knowledge, but it also makes me doubt you. Why would someone from there send a child to the Mortal World? Have they gone crazy? Did you commit a crime," She asked.
"I didn't commit any crime, but the one that committed the crime is the reason I'm here. One day, he'll definitely get the retribution," Xu Ming told her.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't kept myself updated with the news from the Heavenly Realm in the last 20 years. How's the Heavenly Emperor?" she inquired.
"He's dead," Xu Ming told her.
"He's dead? How is that possible? How can someone like him be dead?" she exclaimed in shock.
"If he weren't dead, nothing like this would ever happen," Xu Ming exclaimed as he looked down.
"Anyway, what happened to you? Why did I find you in such a condition?" Xu Ming asked her.
"It's a long story. Some things happened; someone was chasing me. I used the Space Crystal to come to the Mortal World to escape. I was hurt in the process and lost my consciousness, I guess," she explained.
"So you escaped just like me. I find our situation so similar," Xu Ming let out. "I was also unconscious when I arrived here."
"Our situation does end in a similar manner, but it has many differences. I'm the betrayed Princess of the Spirit Fairy Realm. Not someone normal," she said to Xu Ming.
"Oh, Really? If you say so," Xu Ming muttered. He didn't bother telling her that he was the Prince of the Heavenly Realm, and his family was similarly betrayed.
Xu Ming stood up as he walked towards her dress.
He picked up the dress and gave it to the girl.
"Your dress is dry now. You can get dressed," he told her.
The girl took the dress but didn't wear it.
"Turn back and don't look here until I tell you to," she said to Xu Ming.
Xu Ming turned back as he did what she said and gave her privacy.
The girl came out of the blanket and started getting dressed.
As she finished dressing, she called out Xu Ming.
"I'm done. You can turn back," she said.
Xu Ming turned back to look towards her.
"The one that's after you, does he know that you're in this Mortal World?" Xu Ming asked.
"No, they should not know that I'm here. The crystal I used was what I found. Only my mother knew that I had that crystal. No one else knows about it," the girl said.
"That's good," he let out.
"Oh right, you didn't tell me your name," the girl said as she looked at Xu Ming.
'I'm called Xu Ming," Xu Ming answered her.
"Xu Ming, that sounds like a nice name. What does it mean?" She asked.
"Mother used to say that it means light. Something that drives away the darkness," Xu Ming replied.
"Light, huh, good. But she might have been wrong about one thing. While it can be true that light drives away the darkness, it's not always the case. More often than not, it's the case of darkness swallowing the light. We have a story about that in our realm as well," she explained.
"What story?" Xu Ming asked her with curiosity on his face.
"It's about the two Ancient Beasts. They are what you call the Ancestors of the 9 God Beasts. I don't know how true the story is, but in the time forgotten, there were two beasts. One of them was the Ancient Myriad Beast, who was said to be the protector of Darkness and the Ancient Rainbow Phoenix, who was said to be the protector of Light. The story talked about their battle that lasted for millions of years. Can you guess who won?" she asked Xu Ming.
"Who?" Xu Ming asked. He hadn't heard of this story, so it was new for him. He had no idea who would have won.
"No one won. In the end, they both killed each other. It is said that they might still exist in this world, waiting for the right time to appear and fulfill their destiny of selecting a victor," she said.
"The Ancestral God Beasts? and they still exist?" Xu Ming asked her.
"It's what the story said, but if it's real or not is for the individual to assume. I can't say anything about it," she told Xu Ming.
