Chapter 20 - Chapter 18, The tour

The temple is not too quite and maids are all around taking a little glimpse on their new lady wondering with Jin who is in deep heat because of his hoodie and mask, he's uncomfortable but good in his ways with his wife

"wow, this place is so beautiful!!" she praised getting fascinated on everything she sees

The temple is located up high on the twin mountain top, in between the waterfalls. if you are looking below? the rocks are thin as a support and it looks like floating supported by gravity, the stairs are endless step that no ordinary person wants to climb not unless wants to try, the temple is fantastic and magical, the walls are not too tall but is designed with beautiful species of wall flowers and vines twirled from block to block, the temple's throne stood infront of the waterfall with the story of a hundred high and rectangular shape painted in red and gold roofs, up in the end is a pretty circular figure of magic material colored in silver and a black dragon is twirled around it like its protecting a precious orb

surrounding the middle temple is pavilions and small mansions scattered from mountain to mountain delicately standing tall connected with different kinds of designed bridge

"it look so magical!!!" Yunxi's eyes twinkled in happiness as if she is somewhere in heaven

"do you like your temporary home?" says Jin

"Yes I-" Yunxi made a face hearing the temporary word

"what temporary- I don't wanna go to that Zhu palace, it looks like a den of animals!!!" she complained and wondered around like a child

Yunxi and Jin stopped in a mountain pavilion where they can see the stairs coming up the temple

looking at the endless steps made Yunxi's feet hurt and she remembers what Yuan said about the guard next to her who carried her to the top

Yunxi looked at Jin who is looking down on the stairs like a dope kid, even if his face is covered his eyes are like about to cry

Jin remembered how he suffered carrying her up going to the temple, although she was not heavy he can also feel pain, he cannot even fly the steps because he himself is drained and it's his duty to take his wife up to the temple

'I told myself that this girl will pay for being a troublemaker making me carry her all the way to the top!!!' he screamed in his mind and rolled his eyes

"Ah! I'm Uhh, haha, hungry my foot hurts let's go!!!" she pulled Jin to walk around the temple and finally reached the Golden pavilion, it's Jin's own mansion

"wow, this place is beautiful!" Yunxi's eyes twinkled once again

"Uhh this place is-"

"I wanna stay here?" she looked at Jin who look so terrible

"but this place is-"

"I want this mansion, there are flowers, butterflies and I can see the view of the flower garden down this temple" Yunxi chuckled

the golden Pavilion is a place built for Jin so he can gather lots of energy through looking at beautiful view and it's his favorite place to train his martial arts

Jin sigh and looked at Yunxi with his pretty eyes

"alright I'll tell the maids to transfer your things here later!!!"

"Really?- don't I need permission from my husband?"

"I am your- I mean he will agree!!" Yunxi danced in joy and looked at the spaces around.

The mansion is divided and has three stories painted in gold and red linen like the throne temple but more elegant, and inside the mansion lies a big tree consuming the three stories height mansion, and was made a stairs, the windows are shaped in square and circles and at the backyard is an open space made of white granite stone floor, that is where Jin use to practice, what circles around is the pond of mudfish and waterlilies surrounded by beautiful flowers and pink delicate cherry trees

"I wanna plant herbs everywhere!!" Jin turned to stone and put patience in his heart

"Uhh, isn't the flowers enough-"

"NO, I told you I'm a doctor, that means I need herbs to create antidote for my husband, don't worry I'll take care of the flowers I'll make sure they are fine-" she said walking around

"you see, in my country we also cherish flowers because it gives us energy to create healing energy and healing wave, but herb plant makes us more powerful!!" Yunxi explained, she looked at the fountain pond colored in green with water lilies designed above and saw mudfish swimming around

"eh, why put mudfish, why not gold fish?" Yunxi said

"those mudfish are not ordinary and the master put them himself"

"you mean prince Fei Jin"

"yeah, humans thinks gold fish are gold but they are not, they are orange- but these fish are special?" Jin smiled through his mask

"how special are they?"

"find out yourself?" Jin walked away

"heh, wait tell me!!!"

"so they began dating infront of me!!" Shao Qi made a high brow higher than your pride and looked at Fei Xu rolling the map of Zhu Empire

"let them take thier time"

"Jin is playing her I'm happy!" Shao Qi made a feirce face and gestured on the map

"is that-"

"the map of the empire and city state, though this is not the original, I have to find the original map to find which tunnel is Lin's Den with the demons" he said and made a note

"Fei Xu, when we entered the palace I felt something I cannot explain, it's the same scent as the temple dogs but more feirce and dark!!" Fei Xu rolled back the scroll and asked

"what do you mean?" he said

"I don't know Xu, but when we go back to the capital I'll make sure to track that scent!!" Shao Qi grabbed a flower cake and ate them

"I'll be going back to the capital tomorrow morning, you take care of everyone here?" Fei Xu got up and marched to his bag and fix some of his stuff

"AHHMMM, I've been taking care of everyone including your SON!!!" he deepened

"don't you dare order me around!!!" Shao Qi rolled his eyes and gestured on his highness, Fei Xu heaved some air walked towards Shao Qi and bowed

"thank you for taking care of my son!!" he kowtowed on the floor which made Shao Qi grinn

"good good, that's right bow down to me!!!" he laughed, Fei Xu got up with a poker face and threw a pillow on Shao Qi

"I'm just kidding!" he giggled

Master Long entered with a serious face and sat down next to Shao Qi

"you two, what's the plan before we go back to the capital?" he was serious

"Well, I'll have to investigate first and know the location of those thugs and I need to secure my army to keep Jin safe!" Fei Xu said

"didn't you say we also have more enemies inside that palace including your sisters, nephews and officials!"

"yes, that's what I'm alerted for!!" Fei Xu said and sat with them

"we need to keep a sharp plan and smart mind to see through our enemies!!" Master Long suggested

"and quite as a thief to steal information!" continued Shao Qi

"nice quote, but you guys are stupid!" mocked Fei Xu knowing he is the only person sacrificing his life inside the capital

"Shènme- who's stupid you-!!!" Shao Qi roared, the old men's started to insult and mock each other causing a rampage on the east side of the temple

The night sky is wild as rain pours down like a bullet, turning the road into a muddy chocolate, Zhu palace is ghost quite and no one dared to walk around at night, the beauty it has before faded for years, no longer joy or noise to hear, it's always grey and boring as if everyday everyone is mourning. it was believed that the palace is a scary place at night because every maid that is on duty disappear out of nowhere, even young guards disappear without a trace that's why no one dares to become a palace guard nor a maid who gets high pay, only if they are forced to

A man exited out with a large cloak and umbrella not caring how hard the rain could wet his fine cloth, looks like he is in a hurry guarded by 2 other men in black with muscular figures and weapon

it was emperor Lin of Zhu state in his way to the dungeon, he passed through the criminals til he reached an end wall where it was quite. The dungeon is like a maze supported by strong walls and tarnished iron, it smelt rotten and shit of criminals scattered around like a pig, criminals inside look like an animal and how they were treated made them crazy, less food, less water not even any bucket to pee on, criminals can only sleep on the cold cement, this way they will get sick get cold and die a silent death without even looking at their family, most of them are innocent some are thief and some are good officials of the palace framed by their own kind

Emperor Lin made a finger gesture like a pentagon shape chant, the strong walls absorbed the finger chant and glowed lime green in each linen, the bricks moved and made way for the people, inside is a dark pitch of hall with a heavy air that smell like earth

"Torch-" he commanded, one soldier gave him a torch, they entered the place and walked in darkness for 30 second, they reached another iron door and upon opening is a twirled stair going down to another set of hidden room

Lin alone went down while the two guards stayed

"Mingjie, Mingfu!" he said and put his wet cloak on stand

the twins came out looked at Lin and smiled

"there is our king" the twins gave him a sit and a tea

"what brings you here at night!" Mingfu asked

"it's about Fei Xu, never thought he'd bring his son along!!!" the twins made a face

"where did you see him!!!" asked Mingjie

"it's not me, my son appointed assassins to kidnap the princess of Ju but they lost, upon success one assassin said a tall man in cloak came to the rescue, he had golden eyes and feirce energy power inside him, his skills are good, when the assassins came some of them lost their memories!!!" Lin was flustered, the twins looked at each other

"looks like the catastrophe Prince is getting stronger your majesty!!" Mingjie playfully said and smiled

"this prince is carrying an amount of power source inside him?" Mingfu sat down on the Stone chair, he pulled a scroll out and put them on the round stone table

"what is that?" Lin asked

"it's a scroll, but not ordinary?" he rolled it open, it was blank and old golden brown paper colored with a silver knob

"this scroll tells me about a person I need to know but for now it can only give a small information, this scroll can give you three answers with any question as you wish but I used two you have one question to ask your majesty?" Lin's eyes widened

"if I use the last question-"

"it's okay, we can wait for 9 months to get the three questions, you see every three full moon it produces one question, and in 9th month we need to use them before it fades" Lin was surprised and smiled, but every three months with 1 question is too risky to wait, Lin hates waiting

"be wise of what you want to know Diánxià!" Mingjie bit her finger to make an ink for Mingfu to write

"okay here is the question I need? what is my brother's plan against me?" he said 9 simple sentence which surprised the twins

"that's all?"

"yes! I wanna know what he wants and why?" the twins nod and started writing on the paper, after writing he rolled it back and hid it

"the result will be given at full moon next month?" Mingjie explained

"but I have to wait 3 weeks!!" he was gloomy but patient

"indeed Diánxià, the scroll takes time to gather information too"

Lin sigh and walked to the room, the hidden place is the Den of the twins creating dark power and magnetizing energy from the prisoners, they suck sin to feed themselves and become strong

"Diánxià, the young foods inside the palace is decreasing don't you think it's time you get us people to eat?" Mingjie complained holding a fresh skull in her hand

"my maids and young guards are nearly washed out how long do you have to feed through flesh, is the criminal's sins not enough?" Lin gloomed and made a face

"The sinners inside this dungeon is all innocent we need real sinners- but for now we rely on eating flesh and blood, don't worry we won't eat all your young servants!!!" says The twins, Lin sigh and finally gave up

"fine, I'll summon my men to tamper a palace job tomorrow morning- for now I'm going back to rest!!!" Lin stood up and left the twins who look pleased

"Brother, Lin is a good puppet we should reward him more information next time?" Mingjie sat down in his brother's lap and kissed him

"yes, we need more information about our enemy and who really is that Fei Xu and Fei Jin!!!" he made a deep though and held his sister close before he lied her in bed

a siblings love and sin affection which could make them more powerful, that's what they do an incest relationship that's is not common to everyone for it is a sin
