~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the forest of the Heafia village.
I got closer to the weak girl and squatted down under Chun startled gaze, and said, "Da Xia, here, get on my back,"
She understood what she was supposed to do; however, the deeply rooted phobia heavied her footsteps, even more, loud teeth clenching sounds creaked in her mouth; she stood up for a long time trembling from top to bottom behind jun's back, constantly reaching and retracting her hands, dreadful hesitation wildly showed itself in her face.
Nevertheless, she clutched her little hands so tightly; it seems like they will almost break before, finally getting up on Jun's back,
the whole period no one knew what in the girl's mind.
I felt the extremely thin girl's body on my end; her petite frame was so light, I didn't even think that I lifted something.
"Hold on firmly," I advised before nodding my head toward Chun, signaling him to lead the way.
The journey wasn't too long.
Walking past countless trees, jin and his companions arrived at the promised river; the first thing he noticed is that it wasn't all fresh and clean like he previously visualized, but at least it will still help clean them; after all, the kids are heavily filthy,
'Even if it's poison, it will still probably be good.' Jin thought.
"Strip your outer clothes and let me wash it," Jin said toward the siblings.
As the pair heard this, every one of them was dumbstruck; I looked at the startled kids and couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, "You are a man, so you obviously would need to strip naked, whoever your sister can bath with my clothes on, after all, they aren't as dirty, and could easily be washed by the river."
Jin put down the shaking girl on his back and began to strip his clothes, "Here, take this, you can go around there in the bushes, and change to my clothes,"
Da Xia was momentarily stunned; the boy kept cracking every rule and code she carried her self with.
However, she also hated the filth that covered her body; glancing up and down at her figure; she bitterly took the youth clothes, and on shaky legs, she progressed to hide behind a tree.
Chun creased his brows, but he knew that It's the right thing to do now, so he didn't voice his discomfort.
A brief moment passed; the two boys were awkwardly waiting for the girl to come back; jun was sitting beside the river half-naked, but fortunately, it wasn't afternoon yet, or he might've been shivering in the cold weather.
Under the eyes of the little tyrant evaluating watch, it's quite visible that jun was powerfully built, with lots of muscles covering his bones, especially the robust chest proudly moving up and down.
Finally, the girl wore my clothes and joined us to get in the frozen river,
"Hey, you should strip too, quickly give me your clothes." jin told Chun.
Hearing jun's words, Chun felt shame for letting the new "companion" take care of his clothes; however, he didn't think too long about it; quickly stripping his clothes and handing them to him.
Right now, he was half-naked, only leaving his underwears on, his skeletal structure, and scrawny frame widely showed the malnourishment the boy suffered from.
I looked at the funny, bitter villain expressions and said, "Go wash yourself; I will join you guys after a minute,"
He tried to mutter some gratitude words, but his proudness pushed him into a cycle of stuttering, refraining him from uttering a word, before eventually entering the cold river, humphing under his gust.
I grabbed the filthy clothes, just like a mother doing shores for her children, scrubbing them with smooth rocks and dumping them in water, just like in the traditional way.
Jun spends a long time repeating the process before the clothes ultimately started whitening, yet he couldn't do anything to the holes inside them.
'I should make some plans to start working in the town, collecting money, to buy new clothes.'
Twenty minutes passed; jun was done cleaning the clothes and was ready to go wash up when a soft voice pulled his attention;
"You're pretty good at this!"
He looked around and found Xia crossed-legged on the ground watching him from the side. Perplexed, he calmly asked,"Why didn't you join your brother?"
As he said this, Da Xia's eyes vaguely glowed, glancing at jun violet eyes, "I liked the momentous light your eyes reflected on the river," the way she said it sounded incredibly simple; the deep gaze made the silly reason completely reasonable inside of jun head.
Silence drifted, jun never got his desired answer;
He sighted at the weird girl wandering gaze, "Let's go inside of the river, we should wash up hastily, the sunlight is gradually reducing, we might catch a cold,"
I got up and reached my hands to the girl to grab; she twisted her head like a factory doll, following my eyes in the same position, glancing at me with a scary gaze.
Sensing my approaching hand, Chills lit up within the unmoving eyes of Da Xia, but for some reason, she didn't let out the horrific killing intent like earlier; her delicate hands touched mine for the first time, intensely shivering in my hands.
She smiled and quickly shook my hands, breaking my hold after I helped her stood up.
The contentious trembling along the way, heading more in-depth in the river, showed how much discomfort she felt.
We head deeper till the water covered half our bodies; Chun was near, getting busy washing his black self; his body needs a lot of effort to clean up.
I started washing too;
The powerful stream of water and the river flow pushed Xia's body, nearly making her fall; however, I bent my self and grabbed her waist, stabilizing her with my hold; frowning, I felt like it's my responsibility to help this pitiful
Young girl, "You should pay more attention to yourself, don't be stubborn and let people help you," Even though it's only a day since we met, the familiar feelings of my previous sister are still fresh in my brain.
Hence, Brother jun mode automatically activated, and I tried to help her wash;
the surprised girl didn't understand what was happening; she only felt a hand brushing her hair with water, while the other was firmly holding her waist;
She didn't even have the chance to retaliate or get mad; after all, she was so light, jun used with her body as he pleased, lifting her with one hand switching her frame in mid-air to the other, hardly washing every corner of her body.
The poor girl's eyes went blank from stupefaction, ultimately resulting in her fainting.
Jin didn't notice her body go numb, brushing and scrubbing like he's trying to make a perfect sculpture.
She opened her eyes, on the radiant boy smile, being Princess carried in his arms, they were already finished, and on their way to the camp, she was out for too long even the clothes dried up, the new clean clothes are put on her while she was still asleep.
Mumbling something under her breath, she moved her head and closed her eyes, thinking about something.
The dusk time approached.
They reached the camp, tiredness exhibited in their body language; I put down the girl in the demonic bed and got ready for the chilly night.
I let up the fire yet again, trying to generate some warmth, but the late spring season weather didn't help my case; with time passing, the cold wind increased, it got to the point where even Chun was shivering beside the fire.
I mentally asked myself, «How could this "smart" boy not try to get even the minimum needs to belp better their living circumstance s at this Forest, easing their life? Did the author had a hand on this one? Deliberately making his character tamper himself at these conditions?»
"Chun call your sister, and come closer to me," I said.
"What?" He horrifiedly replied.
"I have an ability to make my skin hotter; we can use that to warm up for now," Jun explained.
He was about to frankly reject me when his sister for the second time interrupted him, "Do what he says," her red eyes were more profound than normal; her words were filled with embossed dominance that made the one hearing it subconsciously move.
He grimaced, loathing aura danced around his shoulders, replying, "You can come if you want, I won't get close to this kid,"
He refused his sister's proposal; after all, the feared villain would never be intimidated by a little girl words; he grabbed his knees and leaned on the rock closing his eyes.
'Hehe! Such a stubborn kid!'
Da Xia, however, got closer; her interest in seeing the supernatural power overpowered the events that happened a couple of hours ago.
I circulated my qi and used Phoenix skin, heating my skin; Xia's eyes instantly went wide from awe; she asked, marveling at the technique, "How did you do that?"
I retorted, "It's a cultivation technique; cultivators can use,"
"Cultivators," she wondered.
"Yeah, cultivators, they are powerful people who can defy the laws of the world while taking the path of immortality,"
Her eyes lit up at the mention of the word "powerful,"
"How can I be a cultivator?"
"It requires countless resources, if you're not from a cultivation family, only with sufficient talent, and joining a sect can you embark on the difficult journey,"
she let out an, "Oh!"
Chun also sneakily listened to my speech, but I knew that he already understood this fact a long time ago.
Xia's wondering eyes groped my body, fascinated by the phenomenon; she did something that she would've never dear to do previously.
Her finger reached my body, feeling the warm heat in the tip of her finger, for the first time she touched me on her own accord, getting comfortable with time, her finger became two, three, ...., before it became a palm, and then two palms, before realizing what she doing, ultimately retracting her hands.
If Chun saw this sight, he would've probably vomited blood from the shocking behavior of his sister;
she doesn't even let him touch her, the one who's her own flesh and blood, but let a stranger that she only knew a day ago instead.
But fortunately, he was deep asleep.
Just like him, jun was tired; he didn't mind the girl's discoverable actions, and soundly slept.
The girl, however, didn't sleep; she moved to the direction of her brother, reaching the same finger that touched jun closer to the corpse of Chun.
The same swelling disgust hit her soul; terrible memories flooded her head, horrifiedly withdrawing her finger.
She confusedly thought about something,
"Odd, truly Odd!"
