Liu Siang read the letter from his father with happy tears, her hope has been miraculously fulfilled. Her third son body was never found, unlike the other two. She kept the news from everyone, not even her husband or her daughter. She was a very solemn women to begin with, and a very protective mother when the time is right! Other than that everything was a liability, to her being carefulness is more fulfilling rather then resentfulness!
"Please come to me safely little Jin.." She burn the letter into ashes.
Twelve days later Wen Jin came home, it was far from welcoming celebration, only his mother knew about it. She clean his room, cooked for him and place one of her personal maid to serve him daily. She kept it so well until the day her husband come home from his trip.
"What!? Wen Jin is alive? Where is he now? At his room?" Wen Tjong was so grateful, the first thing was to go to the spirit house take Wen Jin spirit tablet and burned it, after that he went straight to Wen Jin room!
In front of the gate connecting the pathway to Wen Jin's room he found his daughter was reluctant to go.
"Come with me! Let's meet him!" Wen Tjong offer his hand.
Nervously she take her father hand and walk side by side.
"Knock! Knock!" There is no answer from Wen Jin's room.
Wen Tjong come in to the room with Wen Siang, the room was empty, sensing something wrong he asked his daughter to back down and go out from the room. After Wen Siang were outside he close the door. He sit on the table and pour a cup of tea, he drink the tea in one gulp and made three water dots on the table and turn the cup he use upside down. A shadow come out from the corner of the room!
"Father i have come back!" Wen Jin.
"Good! Old Tang has taught you well!" Wen Tjong pride right now was beyond extraordinary, his third son shows incredible skill in hiding and also remembered the tea cup sign of the Wen family.
"How many knew you are back in the family?" Wen Tjong asked.
"Only three you, mom and the little maid tied up inside the cabinet, should i kill her?" Wen Jin.
Suddenly Wen Tjong hit the table "Are you crazy? Your mother will divorced me, the maid was her most trusted one she raised her before she met me! Let her go right now!"
"I sent her away when i sense you and sister cross the gate.." Wen Jin smiled.
"You can sense that accurate? Tell me what level are your cultivation now!" Wen Tjong.
"Seventh and halfway into the eight" Web Jin.
"What!? Do you have a second battle spirit beast contract yet!?" Wen Tjong.
"Not yet! I have too many at the level one contract.." Wen Jin.
"What!? How many do you contract at level one!?" Wen Tjong curious.
"Three!" Wen Jin.
"!!" Wen Tjong "Ungrateful brat! You are pulling my legs aren't you! Prove it!" Wen Tjong.
Three black vortex appeared behind Wen Jin, Da shi, Fu shi and Xiao shi jumped out from the vortex!
"I'll be damn!" Wen Tjong eyes was gleaming.
"I have not choose a higher contract, was not planning to!" Wen Jin.
"You has too! If you take one late at your advance level you would only get a weak earthly spirit beast, if you take one now, it was going to have a chance to developed it's level using your influential celestial energy to level up! You should know the logic!" Wen Tjong.
"I do as you advice then!" Wen Jin.
"We leave tomorrow! When we got you another strong earthly battle spirit beast i will personally take you to meet the elders!" Wen Tjong.
"I am curious what would they say about me, the useless heir!" Wen Jin.
"Don't get a head from yourself! Now i will leave and sent your sister in! Do not make fun of her! If you do i will beat you black and blue!" Wen Tjong smiled and walk out.
"Go in and keep your brother existence a secret, if you can keep the secret enter at your own risk!" Wen Tjong warned Wen Siang.
Without responding to her father Wen Siang entered the room.
"He will go with me tomorrow, do not pestering him all the time! He needs to prepare!" Wen Tjong walked away as he pull gently his long black beard to straighten it, while laughing "hahahaha"
Inside the room Wen siang see a young man with slender body, fair skin with a good face structure, sipping tea. She went numb unable to move as three spirit beast was laying beside him, the biggest one was as big as an adult elephant size. The one that had a red streak on his fur was full of killing intent, the one that was leaning against the big one was very smart, the spirit beast eyes can not shielded the perception of intellectual values.
"This one called Da shi, this one called Fu Shi and the biggest one called Xiao Shi!" Wen Jin
"Small? What so small about him?" Wen Siang was a brave five years old.
"Is that how you greet your older brother?" Wen Jin.
Wen Siang just realize how rude she was, gently she make a lady pose sideways and cupped her hand "Greetings big brother.."
"Hahaha good! You are certainly my sister, you are mom's splitting image!" Wen Jin.
"You are mean, why showing me these scary spirit beast!" Wen Siang pointed at the Rui Shi's.
"You can fool the others but not me! You are awaken! You need to consolidate your talent energy to made the requirement of the contract, don't you want to have a spirit beast?" Wen Jin.
"Hmmf! I refuse!" Wen Siang.
Wen Jin almost fall from his chair "What!? You refuse?"
Wen Tjong come back to the house and told Liu Siang he wanted to take Wen Jin for a spirit beast hunt before facing the elders. Liu Siang knows that Wen Tjong deep unrealized wish was to hunt a spirit beast with his sons, even when now only one son can fulfill the wish it self. Liu siang nod and starting to prepare Wen Tjong things for the trip.
"You refuse? You know how many people wish they are an awaken spirit cultivator? How many years old are you when the talent awaken?" Wen Jin.
"If i say i don't want it that means i don't want it!" Wen Siang tears start to falls, she was weeping.
Wen Jin comes and hugged her "Now tell brother what is the real reason! Take the time you need, I wait!"
Ten minutes later Wen Siang stopped crying and told Wen Jin the story behind her refusal, Wen Jin advice for her was "There are no weak spirit cultivator, only lazy the one!"
Wen Jin then asked her to be reasonable about it, nobody needs to now her ability but a woman should never rely on a man to defend themselves!
"Alright let say i let you help me level up, can you warranty me to get a strong spirit beast?" Wen siang.
"Sure but you need to be quiet about the process, i also going to teach you a special method to conceal your cultivation aura.." We Jin.
"Really?" Her eyes was widen.
"Keep it a secret okay?" Wen Jin.
"Pinkie promise?" Wen Siang giving him a pinky finger.
"Deal! Pinkie promise!" Wen Jin accept her pinkie finger with his pinkie finger, and smiled.
That night Wen Jin secretly taken to the pagoda and taught by the dragon, she also became the second cultivator that the veins has been released by the dragon.
"This girl has higher potential than you!" Goldy.
"Yes i know, her surge is quiet wilder than mine!" Wen Jin
"Come let's help her get a pretty spirit beast?" Goldy.
"Pretty?" Wen Jin.
"I am a feminist? You got a problem with that man!?" Goldy.
"Uh.. no!" Wen Jin.
"Shut that pie hole of yours than! Let's get over with!" Goldy stand behind Wen Siang.
(Two hours later)
"I am tired can we rest?" Wen Siang.
"No we can not! One more time!" Goldy.
"Okay!" Wen Siang open a vortex and lure a spirit beast.
"Wait, get this one! Pull it!" Goldy.
"Pull!?" Wen Siang.
"Pull now you silly girl! You would not get a spirit beast better than this one!" Goldy.
Wen Siang pull as strong as she could, but she was five years old, he hand shaken and her feet trembled!
She is crying as she pulled like crazy, the spirit beast was resisting.
"Wen Jin help!" She yelp.
"You have to do it your own, do it for yourself not for anyone, you have to really want it! Now! Pull!!" Wen Jin
"Arghhhhhh!" She pulled and pulled.
A white glow was seen and then freely pulled, it was almost like rather forced than being lured.
"Pluck!" A sound of popping and the beast was pulled, the vortex closed, the beast turn around and see Wen Siang, the contract was being sealed in her and the beast forehead.
