Lost took a deep breath and stood up caustiously. His head was spinning and his senses were slowly returning. The smell of the forest attacked his nostrils with full force but it was not an unpleasant odor. In contrary it was refreshing. The forest was huge, mysterious and seemed familiar to him. he felt good and safe which was strange. He couldn't remember setting foot in such beautiful forest. He had a photographic memory so he was sure of himself. Lost put his hand on his forehead and thought about everything that could have happened before he found himself there. In any case, he was very far from the Yin House. He wanted to look at his watch when he felt his hair stroked his back. His soft black hair had grown and reached his lower back.
- This will annoy me. should I cut them ?
Lost looked for a piece of wood that might look like a headpiece and picked it up.. He was doing a bun when a noise was heard. He wondered if he had imagining it, then, after a while, he looked around him. It was just the sound of the leave which moved in the sandstone of the wind. He relaxed and finished his bun. Lost ran his hands over his new clothes to remove the dirt. He had never worn a Hanfu before. After all, in his day he wore modern clothes and not historical dresses. His was pure white with silver highlights on either side. He wanted to find out if there was any other change but he doubted that a mirror would appear as by magic in the middle of the forest. Despise everything, he was curious to see his face because he wanted to reassure himself and hoped that only the lenght of his hair had changed. He didn't want to lose his father's eyes despise the effect they made on his mother.The same was true of the soft features of his face. Even thought the young man would never admit it to Madam Plum, he liked the resemblance to her; Therefore, he began to look for a water point in this vast forest with confidence since generally, one always finds a stream or a lake when the surface of a forest is this big. At least he believed it for two hours before he was completely exhausted. Hunger made him too weak to walk any further. He crouched down by a tree and huffed, tired and disappointed. He was about to fall asleep when a small noise was heard. The sound was so low that he didn't know what it was. Then little by little, he heard the noise transform into a small warm and clear voice repeating the same thing.
" Don't close your eyes!!!" The voice sound worried as to warn him of an impending danger.
He began to look around, sharpening his senses. He stood up with difficulty leaning on the tree. Purple eyes was shaking all over his body. The cold and hunger made it difficult for him. How was he going to defend himself if a wild beast attacked him ? Yet when he thought to himself he might have hallucinating, a man who must had been in his fifties, appeared before his eyes without really knowing how. He had appeared like a ghost, pinning him against the tree, a sword threatening to cut off his head. The man wore a old Hanju with red thread on the edges of each sleeves. His murderous gaze pierced him like needles. Lost, tired of by all the strange events of the day, lost patience. He gave his assailant a killer look. Really, that was what he thought, because to the man, he just looked like a rabbit making a tantrum.
The man blinked and lowered his sword. This young man seemed naive and innocent. He looked pure as if he had never seen the violence in this world. He was very handsome and must have broken a lot of heart. What was he doing in his domain ? He even dared to look straight in the eyes.
"-Are you going to eat me ?'
There were silent in the night. The old man didn't realized that his snake eyes had come out. As soon as Lost saw the reptile slits in the man's pupils, his heart jumped. The only thing that occurred to him was this question.
The lord of this area trembled then a laugh was heard. At first the laughter was muffled then he let go completely. He hadn't laughed like that for a long time.
- you are very interesting. Come with me.
Lost did not want to follow this stranger but he understood that he was not given the choice. He wanted to express his refusal but the man knocked him out on the back on his neck. The kidnapper carried him on his shoulder and started to jump from branch to branch. If he didn't have his meridians breaking, he could have gone faster. He was returning from a meeting to which all the sects had been invited. But during a duel, he realized that someone had poisoned him without realizing it. His sect was one of the most popular but some were jealous of its strength and success. It was so in this cultivation world. The strongest reigned and the weak were looked down upon.As for him, before the meeting, he had been close to joining the rank of the immortal. Now that he has lost half of his strength, it will soon be impossible for him to protect his wife and apprentices. His wife had been pregnant for almost eleven months and still showed no signs of giving birth. This situation was dangerous for her and the unborn child. The Lord did not want to lose the chance to finally be a father and would do anything to allow him to see the light of day. The young stranger seemed to be surrounded by a positive and calm aura. It was the first time that someone could calm down his murderous ardor without pill or without pressing on his accupoint. This boy would occupy his wife and surely calm her down. The doctor clearly insisted that his wife was too stressed out. A new toy would be welcome for her. She would avoid thinking about the future problems that awaited the sect.
The old man did not know at this moment that Lost would become an important person in many years and that his choice to take him to his sect will have been the best decision of his life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lost woke up the next morning in a cozy bed. It took a long time to fully wake up. He stretched out his arms and blinked. It looked like the awakening of a kitten. The housekeeper assigned to him could not help blushing and uttering a little cry, she found him so cute with his red cheeks and his hair scattered around him. She was happy to serve such a handsome boy. Lost ends up waking up suddenly remembering the events of the day before. He had been kidnapped by a snake man who wanted to make him his meal of the day. He got up quickly, walking in the bedroom, muttering incomprehensible things without realizing that the housekeeper was watching him while drooling. is that he wore only a very fine nightwear or one could see perfectly the shape of his body. The top being ajar during the night. It wasn't until the Lord entered without knocking into the room that Lost came to his senses. He stepped back, thinking about how to escape this situation.
- Child, did you sleep well ?
Lost jumped then noticing that no one seemed to want to harm him, he calmed down. The red aura around him had disappeared and had given way to a more restful aura. He wasn't sure but he had the impression of seeing colors appear around the man and then disappear a moment later. Was his sight playing tricks on him?
- Didn't you want to eat me ?
- No, Believe me young man your body does not interest me. I am already married .
-What? but no .... i didn't mean ....
Lost was starting to panic when he saw the playful gaze of his captor. The boy turned red like a tomato ignoring how cute he was like that. It was not until a beautiful woman entered the room and slapped the back of the Lord's head that he regained his composure.
- Stop my husband have a little pity and stop teasing this poor child
This woman was breathtaking despite her full belly. Her snow-white hair was tied back in a chignon. In her hair shone a few silver pearls that stood out with her long gray dress. Lost could be drowned in her magnificent ruby colored eyes.she emanated an extreme sweetness and maternal warmth that resembled his mother before the loss of his father. He didn't let anything show but his heart was beating fast. He shouldn't be thinking about the past. He had promised himself to put his feelings in a closed box deep in his mind and never to reopen it. it was a way to protect him.
- You are really beautiful if I may. Did he kidnap you too?
He had said this with so much innocence and seriousness that the couple remained speechless for a moment unable to react. This boy was too blunt for his own good, but that didn't bother them too much. He brought a little freshness to their life which didn't seem so rosy now.
-I even wonder if I haven't been hypnotized. A beauty like mine brings its share of problems.
-I can understand that after all a housekeeper can drool without shame before a man as handsome as me. Welcome to my world.
The Lord had never seen a young man say this without shame. Even his wife would laugh with him and share jokes as if they had known each other for a long time.
This young boy had arrived at the right time because his wife was starting to have a depression. To see her smile again was a great happiness for him. He should thank this boy as soon as he can. The concentrated Qi's pill would be the right choice. This would allow his young friend to open his dantian. He had learned that the ying yang was in perfect harmony in Lost's body. This pill will awaken his chakra and fill his dantain. He will just have to meditate and open his meridians. To become his master would even be an honor but the other sects were not going to be long in attacking them because it was not only jealousy but also greed to obtain their precious relic. He will never give in. This relic had belonged to his family for generations. It belonged to the unborn child.
- Madam !!!!!
The housekeeper's cry brought Lord out of his thoughts. He saw his wife hold her stomach in pain on the verge of collapse. Lost took the reflex to support her, worried that she may injured herself by falling. the old man took his wife in his arms and ran to the master bedroom.
-Ziha calls doctor Wu. Hurry up !!!
He sat down next to her, taking her hand to comfort her. She was moving a lot because of the pain but she was staying courageous and awake while her body asked for rest. Lost stayed in the hallway even when the doctor arrived. He heard the cries of pain from the future mother and the encouragement of the future father. Lost fell asleep after several hours of waiting. it was the baby's cries that woke him up. The child had finally point the tip of his nose. Lost wanted to see the baby but he only knew the parents for half a day. He was not close enough to the family to share such a great time.
It was the next morning that he knocked on the door. The door opened and the smiling old man let him in. He was overflowing with joy and proud to present his son to the young man. When Lost saw the child, He knew straight away that this child was going to break the hearts of many girls. He had inherited his mother's hair. You couldn't see his eyes yet, but he already knew what color they were. It was only a baby, but Lost did not dare approach him. A black color surrounded him when he was just born. it was not normal. he didn't show it to the parents for fear of worrying them, but he wondered a lot of questions.
"Don't worry. Everything is okay. you are not in danger."
Lost refrained from jumping at the arrival of the warm voice. He hadn't heard it since from the forest. Still, he felt he could trust her without a hint of hesitation. What for ? he had no idea but if she tells him not to worry then he won't worry;.As simple as that. He was about to congratulate the mother when an explosion was heard. The walls of the sect raged and we heard the sound of swords not far from them.
-What is happening?
Lost asked them this question knowing full well that the answer would not please him.
-Some neighboring sects want my treasure so they decided to ruin my day. Real little imps who are hypocritical to the core! I'm going to boil them ! But first, can you do me a favor?
Lost saw the situation was serious and they had no time to beat around the bush
- Tell me what do you want? but I wouldn't kill or fight. i would only slow you down.
-Don't worry? i won't ask for either of them. I just want you to take my son with you, His name is Yoon Hong Xué. He is the last descendant of our family and the last guardian of the sacred relic. We didn't give you our name to see if you were someone trustworthy. We are happy to have met you but alas time is running out. Take my son and the relic with you. Follow Ziha. She knows the passage connecting to the forest.
Lost remained speechless for a second because the name of this family he knew it more than well. This family had for name Yoon and Hong Xué is the first name of a key character of the games that his stepfather had just created. This game that he tested before waking up in this forest : New life online.
As he realized what might have happened to him a window appeared in front of him. The same that we use in a game to evolve a character. Somebody could explain to him what was going on ?
