Yue brought Fei Jin and Yunxi back to the camp, everyone was happy upon seeing the big dog, his same furry white appearance is eye catching, even with a small pack of wolves came by to visit no one attempted to hurt anyone, the wolf and monks relationship is quite good as long as no one is attempting to hurt each other
Shao Qi was in his apron when he saw the pack come towards them, he was alarmed with the existence of the dog, he yelled out Fei Jin's name scolding him for bringing his pet along
"Fei Jin what is this all about?" he roared
"they wanted to see you!" he reasoned
"they'll ruin my food?"
"they'll be good boys?"
"you take them out of my open kitchen, those dogs are not allowed to enter!!!" Shao Qi turned away
Shao Qi never hated dogs, but the fact that they have a furry hair that makes the food dirty is a caution to him, to him cleanliness is a priority in a kitchen
Fei Jin led the big dogs next to a pond where fishes are swimming everywhere
"Yue, gather your packs and help the monks fish?" Jin commanded, Yue loves to play except that the packs hate water, Yue commanded them to follow, the 4 big brown wolves had no other choice, Yue is an Alpha and do lots of tasks especially hunting and scaring away bigger beast, the four big dogs pushed Yue down the river and start playing instead
"My prince, this thugs won't fish with us I swear!" a young monk laughed
"just let them stay here so they won't wonder around to annoy Shao Qi, keep an eye on them!" the monks who loves the big dogs joined the fun after a long day catching sea foods
Fei Jin followed Yunxi towards a small cliff, it was a windy place with fresh minty air perfect for her to make elixir frost pill
"Yunxi, how will you make pills?" she asked
"were gonna need the small pot, did you take it?" Fei Jin pulled a small pot and gave it to Yunxi
"stay here I'll gather wood for firewood?"
"we don't need firewood, just stay with me?" she pulled Jin
Fei Jin sat down and rested on a tree while Yunxi does her thing, she pulled her bag full of petals and scatter it around til they are thick enough, she placed the pot above the thick petal and pulled the frost flower,
one by one she plucked the petals and poured cold water
"so, what next?" Fei Jin layed down resting his hands in his cheeks
"watch!" Yunxi closed her eyes and meditated
she is transferring her energy towards the petals to cook the frost flower, the petals floated around the pot in circle, the smell of fragrant flower ran around the area, it was sweet making Fei Jin feel relax at the same time annoyed because it is becoming too sweet for his taste
Yunxi meditated for at least half an hour, Fei Jin is frowning with bored face trying to sleep but Yunxi commanded him not sleep or leave til he see steam on the pot
a cold steam indeed came out making him smell a frost fragrant of frost flower, it made him feel better as he approach it closer
"Yunxi-" he mumbled, but Yunxi is quite meditating hard, her pretty face let out a pink blush and pretty face, it was like seeing a beautiful portrait
"Yunxi" Fei Jin touched her chin with his finger and raised it so he can see her face clearly, Yunxi opened her eyes and saw Fei Jin smiling while looking at her face
"w-what?" her face turned rose, Fei Jin gestured on the pot
"oh!" she stopped meditating and slowly put all the petals down, the petals that circled around the pot dried and died
"the petals died!" Fei Jin asked innocently
"y-yeah, it's because I used the flower petals to make a phoenex energy and create a medicine inside the pot" she blushed and hid her face
Yunxi pulled the pot and opened the small cover, the smell of frost energy came out making Jin feel at ease
"Fei Jin, remember you can only take one pill every 2 days, one pill is enough to help you cool down, but if you are in pain you can take two so you can absorb cold energy faster,
Yunxi pulled a pill and gave it to Fei Jin, it was a size of a blue pearl with a temperature of ice
"it's cold!" she passed it to Fei Jin
Fei Jin examined the pill before grabbing, it's cold and has an unsweetened frost smell, a pearl like diamond was flattering to the eye
he put it in his mouth and tasted nothing but ice that is not melting
"it's not melting in my mouth?"
"yes, it's not gonna melt, your flame energy will be the one to melt that, like I told you? that pill will stay to cool your body" she paused and put the cover on the pot
"you will feel you need frost pill when your body is flaming, it's just gonna help you relax and release your flame energy every hour" Fei Jin felt a cold energy surging in his lungs til it spread towards all his veins slowly, the energy flame is being suppressed, it calmed down after a few minutes, he felt normal and can feel a little cold, his eyes turned golden making him look so stunning like the golden hour behind him
"your eyes are amber!" Yunxi stared at him
"it's my eye's natural color, it will eventually go away, after my flame energy is calm or maybe if the frost pill makes it stable strong, it will stay as it is?" he said, Yunxi was curious about his brown eyes and amber orb, his flame exchange is not clear so she asked
"Fei Jin, what's the difference of your amber eyes and brown eyes?"
"Gold is the natural color of my eyes and when the flame in my body is high and strong it glows, it turns brown whenever my energy power is normal and r- anyway that's all I can tell you!" he said tottaly ignoring his dark side, he is afraid that if he reveals himself, Yunxi will leave because of fear
Fei Jin has a dark side whenever he is angry and the fact that he can't remember what he had done to the criminals before is giving him headaches
Fei Jin was grateful on her frost pill, with it, he no longer need to go at the bottom of the sea to release a flame energy
the dusk ate the sun and vomits millions of stars up high, Fei Jin and Yunxi went back, Fei Jin hugged the small pot tight with a smile in his face and upon seeing him the monk was satisfied, they don't usually see his teeth but a dull face who wonders around if bored
"I'll go see Yuan?" Yunxi bid goodbye and left him standing in the middle, Fei Jin didn't mind but marched towards the food area where Shao Qi is mostly busy with everyone's food
the smell of heaven spang his nose, the smoke coming from afar was a curtain of delicious mixture of vegetable and meat with salted taste up in the air, upon stepping inside the open area, he saw various of prepared food, one kitchen girl was scooping some rice and putting it in a leaf while the other is decorating each rice some meat to be served for everyone, the fishes he and Yunxi scooped this morning is aligned in a banana leaf freshly smoked from the fire, there are lobsters, shrimp and crabs cooked in a different ingredients
"Uncle Dad!" he called, calling Shao Qi many names has been a habit lately and he is okay with it, he himself does not know what to really call him, he is eighter his uncle and second dad
"Fei Jin, how did it go?" Shao Qi said, he is stirring a big pot full of fishes and bones mixed in rice, it smelled a little horrible that's why he is a little far from the main kitchen
"is that?"
"it's for your stupid pets, they gathered fishes from the river and brought it to me!" Fei Jin laughed and sat down, Shao Qi rolled his eyes and sigh from his big cooking day
"those wolves sure is smart!"
"they eat raw food?" he complained
"but sometimes they wanna act like human, they are just so smart are they?" Fei Jin chuckled
"anyway, how was it?" Shao Qi repeated, Fei Jin pulled the small pot and showed Shao Qi what is inside
a cold blue pearl kissed his beautiful eyes, and the smell of ice was a fever to his nose
"she called it frost elixir, she made it with frost flower and petal energy" says Fei Jin, Shao Qi gently pulled one and felt an ice
"it's cold and fresh, how smart!" Shao Qi smiled in Yunxi's work
"it has a big amount of help to suppress your energy, take it, it would be a big help!" Shao Qi pulled the bigger spoon back and stirred the dog food for Yue and his pack, they are all outside playing with the small monks, friendly and generous it felt nice to be around his loved one's
after dinner, everyone will once again prepare for another day and night to catch more whisp, whisps are millions and needed for monks to catch human prayers, after they catch fire whisps, they will smoke it on fire with a big pot, using a prayer energy, elder monks and higher monks with high frequency of energy will gather around to meditate on the whisps for 2 night
Fire whisps is a commanded prayer catchers, each monks will be given 100 pearls which is the result of meditated whisps, they will wonder around the world and even across countries for 1-2 years to gather human prayers from temple to temple, one prayer catcher can gather 5 prayers from different person, the prayer taken is no ordinary but is straight from what a human could desire and can help the others, this include a prayer of woman, children and men, or any others
after a monk gathered all human prayers he/she will go to the nearest temple or return to the dragon temple and release the whisps on a holy water
if the pearl sank down, all 5 prayers from different people in that pearl is given to the heavens to be granted, while the ones that floated will vanish, sometimes it's a pity cos a sin is attached in that pearl even just one can pin down the good prayers of humans, monks cannot do anything about it, at least when a monk comes back to see the result of his hard work, 7-10 pearls is only accepted by the heavens, a prayer that has no sin and is sincere
the floated pearls will be gathered back by the monk and release them back to the dragon temple forest to become whisps, the whisp will be tired and hide to the darkness til they will gain back their fire, everything is the other way around, so it's understandable how whisps hate being caught by monks even if they like humans and animals
The gathering is coming and demons are awakened little by little, the month will be faster and darker, Lin is succeeding in gathering demons summoned by the twins and upon finding out about Fei Jin he couldn't sit still and watch, he wanted to kill him himself with Fei Xu but he cannot do it just yet, the army is in Fei Xu's command and has gained the soldier's trust, curiosity and madness made him gloomy, even his ministers are starting to vanish one by one each time he gathers them to the court, all criminal activities are exposed which made him unhappy
