Qing Yin and Qing Yun made their way through the village. While they walked through the narrow streets Qing Yun was smiling and laughing from time to time while speaking to Qing Yin. It was like he didn’t even notice the looks of contempt that everyone gave him.

Of course, no one would find this strange. Qing Yun was, after all, a five years old kid. Even in this world where kids would mature early, kids where still kids, there where a lot of things they couldn’t understand.

In fact they were mostly right. Qing Yun didn’t care about what others thought about him. He was already used to this. At the same time, he didn’t blame them. It this world, if you don’t have strength, you don’t have the right to speak. Qing Yun knew this very well and he accepted it. Of course this didn’t mean that he had any sort of favorable opinion of those who looked at him as a disposable trash.

Qing Yin by his side looked at Qin Yun with pity in her eyes. ”Why are the heavens so unfair to this child?” She shook her head as the pain made it’s way in her heart. She knew to well that this child was very intelligent and has a strong will to get stronger. She let out a soft sigh as she looked a the smiling face of Qing Yun.

“Mom, let’s hurry. If we don’t get back early I won’t hear the end of Su’er pouting.”

“Hehe, you should be prepared.” Qing Yin let out a soft chuckle as the two of them hurried their steps.

After ten minutes they reached a small courtyard. At this moment Qing Yun had an awkward smile on his face while Qing Yin covered her mouth with one hand and laughed softly.

Inside the courtyard was the small figure of a little girl. The girl was roughly four years old. She wore a dark blue dress which accentuated her jade like skin. Her doll like, small face was akin to a work of art. Under her slender eyebrows there were two big eyes that looked as deep as the night sky as they were gazing at Qing Yun over her puffy, pouting mouth.

The source of Qing Yun awkward smile was, of course, this adorable pouting figure. The little girl stared a Qing Yun with her pleading big eyes. The expression on her small face made her look very wronged.

“Alright, alright, don’t look at me like that, I was wrong, it won’t happen again. I’ll do whatever you want!” Qing Yun felt helpless, he knew that he couldn’t win when this little sister of his started to pout.

“Hehe, big brother is the best.” As she heard Qing Yun words, Qing Su run to him and embraced one of his arms.

”Hehe, Su’er loves her big brother dearly. Yun’er if you leave her behind again don’t come looking for me when she starts pouting again.” Qing Yin laughed softly when she saw the helpless look in Qin Yun eyes.

After this, they went inside and ate together. Qing Su was clinging to Qing Yun the whole time. Towards this action of her Qing Yun felt helpless but his heart felt the love this little girl gave him.

After they ate Qing Yin had to met with Qing Long and her brothers so she left the two kids to play it the house.

Time passed and the sky started to get darker. After being dragged around the whole day by Qing Su, Qing Yun learned his lesson.

“It seems that I’ll have to to care of this little ancestor of mine from now on.” Qing Yun patted Qing Su’s head with a warm look in his eyes.

“Big brother,I want to cultivate!” As she hugged Qing Yun’s arm, Qing Su let out a bold statement with a sweet voice.

“Hehe, lass, why do you want to cultivate?” Qing Yun was first taken aback before he gave Qing Su’s head a light pat with a warm smile on his face.

“Big brother is always playing with me. I want to be strong so I can protect big brother from all of those bullies.” Qing Su said with her sweet voice while trying to make the most serious face she knew.

When he saw how hard, this sweet sister of his, was trying to look and sound as serious as possible, Qing Yun couldn’t help but to start laughing loudly. This image of her was very adorable and funny.

“Lass, don’t worry about those things. I am your big brother so it’s my job to protect you.”

“But…” Qing Su was a smart girl, she knew how others were looking at Qing Yun. Although she didn’t understood the whole reason she knew that it was because Qing Yun can’t cultivate.

“Alright, you’re to young to cultivate, but if you want I can teach you something.” Qing Yun took Qing Su’s hand and lead her into his room.

They both assumed the meditation position as Qing Yun started to teach Qing Su a breathing technique. The technique wasn’t anything hard to comprehend, it was something that any kid could learn. Even so, it was very useful. This breathing technique could strengthen one’s body and make the Qi flow more naturally inside their body.

Indeed, anyone could train in this breathing technique but being successful or not was another story. Qing Yun knew how terrifying this technique was. Even if one attains just initial mastery in this breathing technique they would have the qualification to stand at the summit of this world.

“This lass seems o have some compatibility with this technique. If she can attain some mastery in it then…hehe, if she does I wonder just how those clowns out there would react, this little Qing Clan won’t be able to contain her.”

After making sure that Qing Su understood everything, Qing Yun let her train in the breathing technique. As he sat down in the lotus position, Qing Yun awareness entered inside his sea of conciousness.

He glanced inside his dantian with a frown on his face. The world inside his dantin was like desert, aside from it’s vastness nothing else could be seen. At this moment there was a fog like substance that was hovering inside his dantian. It had a dark green color and it gave of a baleful aura. Anywhere it went it will leave behind small cracks in Qing Yun’s dantian.

“Damn, so it was poison!” Qing Yun had a grave expression on his face as he looked inside his body. It wasn’t just his dantian. Meridians, bones, skin, there was no place in his body that was left untouched by the baleful poison.

“What kind of poison is this, I never seen something like this before.” Cold sweet start to drip from Qing Yun forehead.

This poison was too ominous. Even if his dantian and meridians were to shatter, Qing Yun could still find a way to restore them. But as he looked inside his body, his heart could not help but shudder. It was a feeling that he knew too well, but even in his previous life Qing Yun never felt such an ominous death aura.

The poison was hovering in cycles. As he glanced at the tiny cracks left behind by the poison, Qing Yun knew that if he won’t take care of it before the poison reached it’s final cycle, this time his very soul would shatter.

“It fortunate that the poison seems to have lost a lot of it’s potency. It shouldn’t be a problem to leave it alone for several more years. Even so, I have to expel it out of my body as soon as possible.”

Inside his room, Qing Yun opened his eyes and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He couldn’t let go of the feeling of fear inside his heart. From the looks of it, the poison lost more than 90 percent of it’s potency. If the poison was still as strong, then…

“Damn!” Qing Yun thrown the thought at the back of his head.

“Big Brother.” As Qing Yun thought about the poison, a sweet voice filled with worry sounded in front of him.

Qing Su was looking at him with worry in her eyes. It seems she saw Qing Yun frowning and became anxious because of this.

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong. How was your training, do you feel anything different?” Qing Yun didn’t want to worry the little lass so he changed the subject with a smile on his face.

“Mmm, I don’t know!” Qing Su had a sweet smile on her face. Even if she was intelligent for her age, she was, after all, just a 4 years old girl, there were still to many things she couldn’t understand.

“Haha, don’t worry, as long as you train diligently there would be benefits. But don’t forget, don’t let anyone knew about your training, alright?” Qing Yun patted her small head.

“Mm, I’ll listen to big brother.” Qing Su smiled and hugged one of Qing Yun’s arms.

Actually, Qing Yun was very surprised. Qing Su’s breathing and heart rate were steadier now. Even the flowing of her blood became more firm. He knew that Qing Su had some compatibility with this breathing technique but he never imagined that she would change so much just after a session o training.

“More than compatible. She was fated with this technique. This little lass is really blessed by the heavens. Hehe, it seems another dragon will be born in this world.”
