Chapter 061 Anne's predicament
…
The vast field coated with green grass and colorful flowers of every kind surrounds her field of vision.
As she runs around looking everywhere in anxiousness and worry, she suddenly stumbles.
She did not know where she is and who… she is.
Her name, her identity, seems like a memory long forgotten at the back of her mind.
No matter how hard she tried to recall things, she is unable to remember anything.
Suddenly, warmth envelops her body making her feel like someone's strong arms are holding her and stopping her from falling into a chaotic state.
As she looks around, she suddenly noticed that someone is actually hugging her from behind. She did not know who that person is, but the warmth coming from him made her feel her panic and chaotic emotion slowly stabilizing.
She did not know how long the two of them were in that situation but she soon opened her eyes and saw that darkness has already engulfed her surroundings.
This time, she is looking at an image of a young woman. She frowned when she saw the beauty before her eyes.
She did not know who that beauty is but when she looks closely she could somehow feel a faint feeling of recognition.
The young woman's beautiful face is someone she seems to be cherished a lot.
She wanted to extend her hand towards her face, but she feel that something is wrong as she could not move.
The beautiful young woman's head is lying beside her while one of her hands is holding her.
She suddenly froze as she did not expect to see such a scene. Then suddenly as she willed it, her vision seems to have extended even outside the room.
"Am… Am I in a hospital?" she thought.
Then she saw nurses and doctors walking around the corridor and it made her realize that she is really in a hospital.
Then she saw herself lying on the hospital bed with apparatus attached to her body.
Suddenly, from afar, she could sense an ominous aura.
Crash!!!
The glass window of the room was suddenly blasted open and black clouds enter the room. As the clouds landed on the floor, they all formed into black creatures.
"Ghosts!" she muttered as she wanted to do something but could not.
She can only watch as those black things slowly walked towards the sleeping figure of the beautiful woman lying beside her bed.
It seems that those things are targeting her.
"No!!!" she shouted in anxiety.
…
Jisoo suddenly wakes up and quickly sits up from the bed she is laying. Her face is full of panic and worry is etched in her heart.
"Jisoo! Jisoo! Are you okay?" Anne's voice interrupted her thoughts as she suddenly hugs her.
Feeling the soft body and the familiar scent of the young woman hugging her, Jisoo could not help but also give her a warm hug.
"You're okay, right?" Anne could not help but tear up when she saw the confused expression of her best friend and sister.
Jisoo looks at Anne, touches her cheeks, and feels relieved when she sees nothing has happened to her.
Her eyes suddenly darted inside the room, but she found nothing is amiss.
Suddenly as she willed it, she could see almost everything at around 100 meters around her.
"I seem to have awoken my divine sense." Jisoo thought as she scanned the mansion.
She soon saw the old man and some familiar faces around him.
Then suddenly she froze as she noticed Auntie Sonya in the kitchen of the Tangs.
Jisoo and Anne began talking about what has happened in the past few days.
Jisoo has informed Anne where she is and for some reason, Anne decided to visit Jisoo just yesterday. When she discovered that Jisoo have been unconscious for 2 days, she began to worry and also decided to tell her mom.
The mother and child have been taking care of her all this time.
"Thank you…" Jisoo could not help but feel touched when she learned of this.
"We are sisters, why the thank you?" Anne said while she patted Jisoo's soft hands.
"I heard that you… fought against ghosts…" Anne said the last words in a hushed tone.
Jisoo nodded her head.
Suddenly, Jisoo froze when she suddenly noticed that something is wrong with Anne's body.
"Anne… you… you've broken through?" Jisoo suddenly asked.
She gave Anne some instructions on how she could improve her physique and when she can lift a certain weight… she can start trying to feel the Reiki from her necklace.
Who would have known that in just a few days, the young woman is able to reach the point where Jisoo could already feel Reiki from her body?
"Umm… Yes, but… But I don't know what to do with this unusual strength. I'm causing a lot of trouble in the house. I could break the cups if I am not careful, I have even broken the door knob a couple of times already…" Anne suddenly said with an aggrieved tone.
The physical exercises she told Anne from before and how she could try to feel the Reiki every morning and from her necklace seem to have strengthened the young woman abruptly.
"You… you have to consolidate your strength, if not you can hurt other people…" Jisoo said feeling a bit sorry for her.
She forgot that in this world, everything will be flimsy if one could not control their strength.
Upon hearing this, Anne listened to Jisoo's words and feels a bit calmed when she learned how she can consolidate and control her newfound strengths.
But Jisoo's heart still could not calm down. She did not expect to find someone talented in this world.
She could say that if Anne is in the cultivation world that she was in before, she could be considered a high-level genius.
If she is able to reach the Breaking Mortality primary level even with the lack of Reiki, how much more in that place where Reiki is as abundant as the sea?
Soon, the door opened and Sonya enters the room. When she heard the two chatting outside, she could not help but tear up upon knowing that Jisoo has awaken.
She quickly put the meal on the side table and walked beside the bed.
She caressed Jisoo's face with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry, Auntie…" Jisoo said with an awkward smile.
"It does not matter, as long as you are fine now, then everything is fine…" Sonya said while a bead of tear slid down her cheek.
Jisoo wipe the tears and leaned her head on Sonya's chest.
She could not help but feel really warm inside.
Sonya showed a faint smile on her face as she slowly caresses the hair of the young woman in her arms.
"Look at you acting like a little girl… Since you have awakened, let's eat something… I made your favorite!" Sonya patted Jisoo's shoulder.
When Jisoo lifted her head, Sonya was stunned to see the tears in her eyes.
She could not help but have her heart broken when she saw the pitiful expression on the young woman.
The young woman might be a powerful martial artist, but in the end, she is still a young woman after all.
Sonya carefully wipes the tears in Jisoo's eyes and showed a faint smile.
Jisoo did not know why she is being a bit emotional today, so she could help but feel helpless.
The three shared a meal, and Anne went out of the mansion as she needed to go back to school. The driver of the Tangs sends her back to school in one of their cars.
While inside, she began to practice the strength consolidation technique that Jisoo taught her.
Before the car arrives at her school, she has already opened her eyes and looked at her palm.
"It's done… I'm able to control my strength now…" she muttered.
The driver felt a bit confused as to why the young woman sitting in the back seat is seated in a lotus position.
He had seen and heard many strange things a few days ago, so in his mind, he could already tell that the young woman might be an immortal master living in the city.
He could only look and admire the young woman and deep in his heart, he has that strange desire to be an immortal too.
Anne walked out of the car and thanked the driver which startled the man.
He saw in the movies that those immortal masters should have been haughty and proud. The young woman being too friendly is something he did not expect.
He is still happy that the young immortal is very kind to him a mere mortal.
…
Anne walked to the gate of the school.
However, she suddenly stopped when she saw a few men suddenly approaching her.
"Miss Jing… Anne Jing…" the man in the lead greeted.
From the way she looks at these people, she could tell that they are working in an unsavory place in the city and is here to cause her some trouble.
Ever since she has stayed with Jisoo, she has almost forgotten that the Jing family still wanted to cause her and her mother trouble.
When she saw the person leading the group, she could not help but shake her head.
"The Jing family should stop now, right? I and my mom am already in this far away city. Why would you still want to cause us trouble?" she said with a helpless expression.
"Hehe… Young miss… If you know that, then the two of you should be aware that the Jing wanted something… As long as the madam did not give that thing, then we will be doing this over and over…" the man said with a smile.
"We already gave you everything! What more does the Jing clan want from us?!" Anne Jing this time shouted in powerlessness.
The Jing clan is truly a bully and would not let the two of them be at peace.
"Hehe… You don't have to worry about that, just obediently come with us, and everything will be over soon…" the man said with a sinister smile.
