Chereads / The Legend Of The Bahamut / Chapter 26 - Footwork

Chapter 26 - Footwork

"In your heart or you can say in your consciousness. When your Spiritual Power becomes stronger in the future, you'll understand. Our consciousness is actually a blank space but the ordinary ones can't control it. So right now, you could only reach your own space of consciousness with my guidance but don't worry, I'm sure you'll get stronger to do it alone next time." Hai Xuanhao smiled.

Hai Xuanhao didn't understand. "Space of consciousness? Is it Spiritual Power?"

Dong Qianqiu thought about it for a moment and replied, "I think so, I've only understood these after I used my Spiritual Power."

"That's cool. Can I always meet Teacher Qianqiu here then?" Hai Xuanhao asked.

"As long as the distance isn't too far apart, it should be alright. But only I can come and find you," Dong Qianqiu said.

"Alright! Alright!" Hai Xuanhao exclaimed excitedly.

Dong Qianqiu then said, "What would you like to learn when I become your teacher next time?"

Hai Xuanhao paused for a while and said, "I don't know but there is a girl in school who keeps trying to bully me. Her Spirit Skill is one that is a hundred years old but I don't know why it would always lose its effectiveness when it is used on me. Teacher Qianqiu, do you know how to fight?"

Dong Qianqiu thought for a second and replied, "I think so."

Hai Xuanhao then asked, "But is it bad to fight?"

Dong Qianqiu chuckled. "It depends on why you're fighting; if it's to protect the people that you should protect, then it's not a bad thing. For example, if your mommy is getting bullied, wouldn't you protect her? And what if that time comes and you can't? What would you do?

Hai Xuanhao seemed to understand what she had said. "So the purpose of cultivating is to protect? To protect the people I love?"

"Yeah, that's right! Protect and guard the people you love. You Should Always remember that!!!" Dong Qianqiu Said with a Smile.

"Teacher Qianqiu, are you okay?" Hai Xuanhao waved his hand in front of her.

Dong Qianqiu then came to her senses. "I don't know either. I just suddenly recalled something. Xuanhao, what do you really want to learn right now? I have to think through on how to teach you too."

Hai Xunahao tilted his head and said, "Teacher Qianqiu, I don't really dare to hit people, is there any method to dodge from getting beaten by them?"

"Why don't you dare to hit people?" Dong Qianqiu laughed.

"I am a little timid," Hai Xunahao said shyly.

Dong Qianqiu's smile became more vibrant and this child couldn't help but stare when he saw her expression that was akin to the brightly-colored flowers in spring.

"You Know, You Saw an Uncle with me The Other day!! You and he are really the same. He Used To say That when He was Younger!!" Dong Qianqiu said with a smile, while she remembered her Husband.

"You Mean Uncle Tang Blue??" Hai Xuanhao Asked her surprisingly.

Dong Qianqiu Smiled and said, "Now, Why don't I teach you some footwork? When you learn this, the others will not be able to hit you. Is that alright?"

"Great! Great!" Hai Xuanhao laughed.

"Try catching me." Dong Qianqiu smiled.

Hai Xuanhao then asked, "Why do you want me to catch you?"

"Catch me and I will reward you. You'll be punished if you can't catch me though," Dong Qianqiu replied.

"Reward?" Hai Xuanhao said excitedly.

Dong Qianqiu then smiled. "Catch me and I will let you kiss me, and if you can't, I will punish you by giving you a kiss alright?" She was taken aback when she was younger and Trained with her Master, She Began To understand How her Master felt being a Teacher.

"Alright, here I come." Hai Xuanhao pounced forward towards Dong Qianqiu.

Dong Qianqiu merely took a step back, it was as if the split second when his fingers were about to touch her, she moved slightly and all he caught was air. He didn't give up. He took another step forward and jumped towards her but Dong Qianqiu shifted her body as well, sliding a little to the side to dodge his move once again.

Hai Xuanhao wanted to release his Spirit instinctively but he quickly realized that he could not release it here at all and the only thing that he could do was to chase her.

Dong Qianqiu appeared to be moving in inches and her speed wasn't fast either but her feet followed a kind of mysterious pattern and no matter how much he tried to catch her, he just couldn't get close to her.

In the spiritual world, one would get tired all the same and after some time of hard work, Hai Xuanhao stopped. Everything before him became illusory.

"Teacher, I can't catch you. I am so tired."

Dong Qianqiu again next time. You have to take note of my footwork while you're trying to catch me and you can learn my footwork too so you could catch me. You've lost this time."

"Then I have to let you kiss me?" Hai Xunaho lifted his little face and went closer to her.

Dong Qianqiu laughed, "It's not counted if I kiss you now. You shall owe me one first, I'll kiss you next time alright so continue meditating. When I find out that you have regained your Spiritual Power, I'll look for you again."

Due to Dong Qianqiu's appearance, Hai Xunahao didn't find the return journey lonely.

Hai Long and Xi Daiyu were somewhat surprised that Little Xuanhao had been meditating the whole time and wasn't tired at all. He would only stop so he could eat but they didn't know the fact that he was spending his time in the spiritual world because each time that Hai Xunahao regains his Spiritual Power, Dong Qianqiu would naturally appear so she could let him catch her.

There were times that he would become a bit impatient since he couldn't catch her and each time this happens, Dong Qianqiu would intentionally let him catch her so she could cheer him up. This game of catch went on till the spacecraft landed.

During the severe turbulence, spacecraft 7057 passed through the Heaven Luo Planet's atmosphere and slowly landed vertically at the Heaven Luo Planet Space Center.

"Hu——" Almost everyone felt a breath of relief.

It was an entire seven days! It wasn't easy for anyone to stay in such a condition where you could only lay down halfway through the trip.

But Hai Xunahao was brimming with energy. Xi Daiyu wasn't sure why her son's big eyes appeared much brighter when they got off the spacecraft.

Everything was very familiar once they got back at the Heaven Luo Planet but after they got off the spacecraft, Hai Xunahao kept looking back from time to time as if he was looking for that certain someone.

On the way back, he and Dong Qianqiu played the game of catch over ten times and they got to know each other quite a bit. His happiest moment was when Dong Qianqiu intentionally allowed him to catch her but he wasn't just happy, he had a sense of security.

"Stop looking for me, I will go to your place to look for you. Go back home with your daddy and mommy first." Dong Qianqiu's voice echoed in his head.

"Okay," Hai Xunahao blurted out almost instantly.

"Okay, what?" Xi Daiyu looked suspiciously at her son.

Hai Xuanhao smiled widely and looked at his mother. "This is a secret, I'm not telling you."

Xi Daiyu's face then turned cold. "I'll confiscate your garage kit then."

"Ah? Mommy… my dearest awesome Mommy." Hai Xunahao immediately hugged Xi Daiyu and he gave her an adorable face as he looked at her with his big watery eyes.

Xi Daiyu burst out laughing. "Alright, I'm just joking. Quick, let's go home. You have to take a shower."

They didn't layover at Heaven Luo City. They took a transfer flight directly back to Zi Luo City and it's already evening when they found themselves at the comfort of their home.

Despite them being Spirit Masters, Xi Daiyu and Hai Long still slumped into bed the second they reached home and they didn't want to move at all. Long-distance interstellar travel was really tiring!

Hai Xuanhao was quite tired too but he remembered what Dong Qianqiu said to him so he didn't go to bed straight away. Instead, he stayed in his little room and meditated.

Hai Xuanhao forgot about the outside world and when he was completely in the state of meditation, his space of consciousness lit up once again.
