The girl in the mirror seems to be a refined version of herself.
Her original pale skin is now replaced with healthy and glossy skin.
Her cheeks are flushed with a faint rosy gloss.
Her dry pink lips are now tinted with a vermilion red color.
Mainly...Eyes... Her eyes..
The original obsidian black almond-shaped eyes are replaced with a shining Smokey grey eyes.
These grey eyes with long eyelashes further enhanced her looks as they complemented her glossy skin. Her face with those grey eyes and small vermilion lips can cause the downfall of many nations.
Imagining the weird reactions of ancient people when they see this pair of eyes, He Mei Ya felt a layer of goose bumps on her skin. " I definitely have to conceal my eyes...But how?"
Quickly drying her hair, He Mei Ya sprinted to the old man to ask him about this weird change of hers.
Little Yu notices her strange clothes and was about to make fun of her.. but when he saw her face he is shocked, specially on seeing those grey eyes a trace of shock, surprise and happiness can be seen on his face.
He Mei Ya notices his reactions and stares at the old man with puzzled face. ' Why is he happy after seeing my grey eyes?' she wonders.
Little Gu says with an excited voice " Girl, now I can understand why they used demonic necromancy curse on your body. Those grey eyes of yours represent the pure bloodline of Luna race of Land of silver moon.They call themselves as Elnas. The Elnas are known for their alchemy and dual cultivation of magic and Dou Qi [martial arts]."
He Mei Ya is shocked by this information. So, she is a cross-breed with benefits ah! Very good! He Mei Ya feels excited in her heart.
" Even the magic of Elnas is very special. They have special abilities when compared to normal magicians. Elnas can control the dark magic very easily compared to normal magicians. That is the reason they are feared by necromancers. Girl, one of your parents must be from Luna race.", says Little Gu .
"My parents?? Father has black eyes and Mother died after I was born. I don't know about my mother.", He Mei Ya replies after pondering for a while.
" Girl, you cannot go outside with your grey eyes. If any necromancer or their allies see your eyes you will be done for.", Little Gu takes a pendant and gives it to He Mei Ya.
" Girl, always wear this as it can change your eyes into black again. This is a magical talisman.", Little Gu declares proudly.
He Mei Ya wears it and stuffs it into her clothes. After wearing it, her eyes return to its original black colour.
He Mei Ya suddenly remembers and asks, "Little Gu, do you have anything that can break this barrier. I need to return home with my brother. They will be worrying about us."
"Of course I have.. Girl I am a man of treasures.. As long as I am able to, I will take care of you." on saying this he waves his hand and a scroll appears in his hands.
He hands it to her saying " This is a talisman scroll ' border breaker'. It can be used to break any boundaries in your puny continent. Take it."
He Mei Ya takes it but does not know what to say because her heart is choked up with emotion. She looks at him silently for a while before giving him a brilliant smile saying " Thank you.. I will be back soon..".
After saying this she exited her space.
