Jun stared worriedly out of the window, he hoped his sister would come back. In all reality because of their royal status they had been engaged since she was born in order to preserve the bloodline. Typically this was normal and under the usual parentage they would have been raised as lovers not siblings. Which is partly where the intense comfort of each other's closeness came from even without the memories. The issue now is he knew she had fallen for Varick and he wasn't a bad guy and he truly cared for his sister so he had no intention of splitting them up.
The issue now is those two people. What will she do when she finds out they are still alive? 'I know she suspects something ever since she gained her Blood Rite. But there's so much more coming if we can't get her to activate it then…'
After he was deeply immersed into his thoughts a loud scream emanated from the corner of his room. Snapping out of his reverie he quickly looked into that corner only to see Ao Qing convulsing and screaming in pain.
As he rushed over her entire body exploded into flames. Jun had to step back quickly but he kept a close watch on her. As he watched her writhing in the flames her body began to grow larger and more mature. 'Is she evolving?' He honestly gave this some serious thought. As the flames died down and with that her screaming became silent he walked over and held her in his arms. "What happened Ao Qing? Are you ok now?"
Shockingly she all of a sudden answered him. "En Master this is what we all go through when we reach maturity, I am sorry I couldn't warn you were you frightened?"
Shaking his head he held her closer until he noticed that her body was changing shape again. He quickly looked down and noticed he was now holding a very gorgeous woman in his arms. He was so shocked he dropped her onto the floor with his eyes wide in horror at her nakedness and he looked around the room. He yanked the bed sheet off and tossed it onto her body and barked for her to quickly cover up until he returned with clothing for her. He dashed out of the room without noticing the slight smirk on Ao Qing's face.
Her phoenix shaped eyes glowed a bright red with a golden hue around the border edge of her pupils. They slightly curved up into crescents when she saw the man so flustered and pounced out of the room in a hurry.
She giggled to herself, she has been alive for over four hundred years now. She has seen a lot in this world but has always been alone. When she felt his aura she was instantly attracted to it. That was why she initiated a bond with him. To her she has never found another aura like his she was determined.
By the time Jun rushed back into the room carrying a new set of clothes he had finally calmed himself down a bit. He tossed the clothes to her then left the room once again. He never thought she would be able to take human shape and a very seductive shape at that. Those phoenix shaped eyes bord into his soul. Her long waist length hair, creamy looking skin, tiny pouty mouth that had a hint of pink, and heart shaped face just took him by surprise.
By the time Ao Qing came back out she looked around for him and when she zeroed in on him she bounced her way over and landed into his arms before he could make sense of what just happened.
She looked up at him with a smile that further blanked his mind out for a moment until a cough came out from behind him.
"Cough, Cough.. Hey um Jun is there a reason you are holding a strange lady like that? Your sister is going to lose her mind if she sees this you know. Or is that what you want?" The sarcasm in Shou's voice rang loud and clear in his mind snapping him out of his thoughts.
His face was the shade of a ruby at this point as he honestly had no way to explain this situation to her or anyone else for that matter. 'Ugh, what is this situation I got myself into? Sure she has amazing looks but why does she have to hang on me right now!?' Lamenting in his mind over this situation he slowly put her down and tried to back away, this of course was easier said than done. She was like a magic sticky pad glued to his arm.
"It ain't my fault Shou I swear! I mean look it's Ao Qing! How could I have just grabbed a random woman all of a sudden? Do you really take me for that type of person?"
"Sure let us just see what Kirin has to say shall we? Wait where is Kirin anyways? What did you do to her?"
"Ugh nothing I swear! When I woke up She freaked out and ran to the roof. Varick should be up there with her so she will be fine don't worry." 'Besides I can't exactly tell you what is really going on in our family right now please forgive me Shou.' this last point of course was in his own mind as he looked at Shou dejectedly.
Now to just peel off this new octopus from his arm and he can relax for once. Narrowing his eyes at Ao Qing he fiercely warned her with his gaze to let go and behave. At the same time she pouted at him once again then slowly removed herself from his arm but refused to leave his side.
"How is that Ao Qing? She's a baby phoenix not a hot woman!"
"Transform Qing, show her or you can sleep out of the room from now on!"
She pouted once again but did his bidding, her transformed state was beautiful unlike the childish state she had prior to this. Of course with this came another round of shocked gasps and she instantly went back to her human form again bearing a shy smile on her lips.
