"The contract has been fulfilled." a humanoid creature of light and darkenss said. Two pairs of wings showed on it's back.
The one was black and the other was white. They shone with mesmerising light as the godly creature flew away like a bullet into the nothingness.
Bai Ling reached for the light slowly, as she was falling into the abyss...
....
"Ah.." Bai Ling stood up from her bed as she breathed heavily. "This dream..." there were little drops of sweat on her face.
"Breakfast is ready, honey. " Bai Juan's voice came in Ling's ears like a sweet melody.
Going down, Bai Ling saw her parents at the table, waiting for her. Ash was there too.
5 days have passed since he started living there and began his cultivation journey.
" It's been only 5 days and he already has unlocked 14 meridians while under the strict training of uncle..." Bai Ling sighed as she looked at Ash with a complicated face.
Considering the fact that he used 2 days for training, in other words, neglecting cultivation for 2 days, this was incredible... One could say even, unbelievable.
Noticing her gaze, Ash faced her with a gentle smile " Good morning, Ling."
"Good morning to you too, Ash." her strange expression turned to a joyful one.
Looking at the children's intimacy toward eachother, Bai Juand looked at Bai Cheng with a smile. The sacrifice was worth it in her mind, if Ash could become their son-in-law.
On the other hand, Bai Cheng watched them silently while thinking. He was the happiest man in the universe after he found Ash.
All of his hopes lied in him and he had plans for that kid.
...
Another school day passed by. Ash and Ling were studying all day again.
Going back home, at dinner they answered Bai Juan's questions about the day, if anything had happened and etc.
After that, Ash went to train with uncle Lee while Bai Ling had to practice with her father.
"Take a break for 5 minutes. " Bai Cheng said to the sweat covered Bai Ling. It has been an hour of intence Nature essense manipulation training and after the break it would be time for martial arts.
As they were on the 4th floor in the dojo with a balcony, Bai Ling went outside to take a fresh breath of air.
As the balcony was facing the lake, Ash could be seen almost sprinting around it with full force while uncle Lee followed him leisurely, kicking his a*s from time to time.
"Hehehe..." she laughed at him. It was his fault that her father made her train extra hours.
Looking at her laughing at others missfortune, Bai Cheng interrupted her sweet time with a smile on his face "Break is over, let's go."
"But i have 3 more minutes.." pouted Bai Ling.
"No buts. If you have energy to laugh, you have energy to train."
1 hour after that Bai Ling was exhausted to the bone.
Her hair was so wet from the sweating that it looked like she just took a shower.
Breathing heavily and walking upstairs with wobbing leggs, Bai Ling saw Ash in the same state as her, or even worse.
Opening 14 meridians gave him the strenght of a professional athlete, but his training got harsher with each opened meridian.
"Hehe..." Ash laughed at Bai Ling. "It's like you just took a shower with your clothes on."
"Don't make fun of me when you're the same as me... Plus, you stink!" retorted Ling.
"Pfff..." They both laughed at eachother.
Suddenly, Ash fell down on the ground sound asleep.
Everyday, Ash fell from exhaustion. One day from cultivation and the other- from the training of uncle Lee.
"Look at you. Laughing your a*s off till you have no evergy to move." Bai Ling mocked Ash, but had no more energy to support her body and fell next to him.
...
"Hm... that's what you get for laughing at others." Bai Cheng said while squatting near Bai Ling.
"Hehe..." Bai Juan giggled " They look cute together, while they're unconsciously lying like that."
Ash and Ling were facing eachother with closed eyes, just a few centimeters from one another. They were just like two arrows.
"Let's leave them here so we can have a little fun tomorrow." Bai Cheng proposed.
" Hehe, when did you become so bad, Cheng?Leaving our Ling like that." Bai Juan laughed with one hand over her mouth as she said.
"Humph..." snorted jockingly Bai Cheng " If you think that's bad, then you know nothing!" he exclaimed.
"Then, why don't you show me how bad you can be mr bad guy?" Bai Juan mocked.
"Oh, I'll show you right away!" he grabbed her by the waist and carried her on his shoulder to their bedroom, just as if he was abducting her.
"Hehe... Put me down, bad guy, put me down!" Bai Juan acted as if she was scared while still giggling.
The door was shut.
And while the parents were flirting and having their sweet time, the kids on the other hand were sound asleep, having a sweet moment of their own...
