《Asura》Chapter 17-Mother and A Wolf

Advertisement

Lintian woke up early the next morning. Brushed his teeth and washed his face. Puts on some clothes and head out to the yard. He sat on the rock and started to meditate. This was a slow and tedious process. With only one meridian point open it was the same as getting a snail to finish a 26 mile marathon. He has tried everything to speed it up. Training pills were almost useless because with one meridian point open he can’t maximize its effect. Even if it doubled his absorption speed.

Two hours passed and a maid came up to him. She was decent looking and dressed in a black maid outfit.

“Master Lintian, madam Tsukino would like to see you,” she said.

“Sure lead the way,” Lintian answers in mandarin and jumps down from the rock. He followed her to his new mom’s room.

His mother’s room was all pink with brown bamboo tiles. There were moon pictures everywhere. On the floor of her bed was a sealing formation. It looked terrible complex to Lintian.

She was laying in the bed and her head staring at Lintian. Her features were beautiful but her skin was dead white, and her face looks really skinny. A ting of sadness arose within Lintian. Even in this state she still wanted to see her son. It can only be called the love a mother.

“Lintian, come here. Let mommy get a good look at you,” she whispers softly. The voice was hoarse like when someone has a sore throat. She spoke this in mandarin so Lintian could understand her.

“Mom, are you ok?” Lintian asked back in mandarin. That was a stupid question he thought. Of course she’s not ok.

“Mommy is fine. Look how big you grown,” she said as her hand reach out from under the blanket to touch Lintian. Her hand was almost just skin and bone. “Has the Wei family treat you well?”

“Mom, grandpa and grandma and everyone treated me very well,” Lintian answered. It wasn’t really a lie but it wasn’t the complete truth either. Furthermore right now Lintian just doesn’t want her to worry.

Seeing the pitiful and sad look in Lintian’s face Yukira tried to muster up all her energy, “don’t look so sad mommy will get better soon and we can all go out together.”

“With Yuki, Kira, Tsuna and dad?” questioned Lintian.

“Of course. Now tell mommy everything that happens. Don’t leave out any details, especially if you got a girlfriend already,” she smiled. It was a warm smile.

Lintian blushed and began to tell stories of his life that were half-truth and half lies. He mixed the data that his uncle gave him and his own experience to make it seem more real. Hours, after hours passed.

“Mommy is tire. Lintian hold my hands for a bit. I don’t want to see you go away again,” said Yukira. During this whole conversation Lintian felt the warmth of a mother. Even if it’s a lie he likes it so much that he subconsciously believed it was real.

It was a connection that he doesn’t even share with his aunt who took care of him for 8 years.

Lintian held Yukira’s hand. It was cold and bony almost like touching death. Lintian felt so bad that he fell asleep there after quite some time.

Lintian opens his eyes and he was in a dark space just floating there. He recognizes this was a dream space immediately. This is because he has gone into the dream space of dream orb so many times he developed the ability to lucid dream.

Two pairs of slitted eyes stared straight at him. It’s feature became more, and more detailed. It was a gray wolf figure that appeared. The energy that it gave off was that of a heavenly beast, but what is it doing in his dreams. There were chains curling around it and disappearing into the darkness. Those chains gave of a familiar feeling to Lintian.

“It’s been years since I saw another meal,” it said.

“Who are you?” retorted Lintian.

“Me? A mere brat dares to question me?” it growls.

“My name is Lintian and may I ask who you are?” Lintian asked respectfully.

“Haha. That’s more like it. I am Shavuli the master of the alpia wolf clan. I who was a heaven realm wolf was killed disgracefully by these humans.”

“May I ask why I am here? You mention that humans killed you so does that mean that I am dead too?”

“You? You brought yourself here and dare to ask such a question to me?” roared the Wolf.

This wolf got some brain issues thought Lintian. He still put up a respectful charade because he could die easily in front of such a beast.

“I meant to ask where am I if the great Shavuli will answer me.”

“You are inside the dantian of Yukira Tsukino the despicable woman who killed me. Soon I will kill this woman. I have already disrupted all her meridian points. Soon she will never be able to cultivate again. After that she will die. Then I will kill each and every one of her family one by one with her body. HAHAHAHA!”

A thought sprinted through Lintian’s mind. Wait if this wolf is dead then wouldn’t it be a beast essence that has invaded a human being? If so then can’t I absorb him? The Asura's method is to absorb beast essence to break through. Also with her weak, and unconscious state right now she won’t know what I did. A smile creeps along Lintian.

“If you’re so powerful why did you die?”

“They outnumbered us and used dishonorable methods to kill us. I want to torture them slowly. My body does not exist anymore and my essence has weakened but I can still kill four more before I die. This will avenge my family. My very soul is intertwining with this woman so if they want to kill me they have to kill her,” It laughed.

“Hehehe. So you’re weak. Here I was afraid you might try to possess me and kill me too but I guess I was worrying over nothing,” Lintian goaled. If he enters my body instead than she might be saved Lintian thought. Should be fine right?

“Brat you’re going to be my food soon. I was going to take pity on you and kill you fast but I changed my mind.”

Lintian shrugged his shoulders, “whatever. All talk and no action. Come and possess me if you can.”

This wolf’s intelligence was not very high. Lintian easily manipulated his actions. This was Lintian’s first attempt to absorb a beast essence. His real mother left him a detailed training method for Asuras. Absorb the beast essence into the dantian and refine it. By endlessly trying to crush it and sent it at the meridian point.

Since it was a heaven realm beast there was no way he can absorb it but if it enter willingly that be a different story because the Asura veins and dantian will handle the rest. He just has to make sure it doesn’t escape and direct the energy at its weak points.

The wolf was outraged and endless amount of heaven realms energy flood the room. It then turns into a black smoke and directly attacked Lintian.

Seeing this, a smile creeps across his face but he was also a bit worried. His parent's instruction did state that he should not absorb any essence he cannot kill by himself. The smoke enters from every point on his body and into his dantian.

“AAAHHHHH” screamed Lintian in agony. His body felt like it was burning. A sensation that was like his skin was being peeled off by a dull knife. His internal organs were being played like a drum. The wolf started to laugh in his Dantian.

“I’ll cripple you for life” it roared, “I will not let you go even if you beg. I’ll make sure that you are alive as a cripple.”
