Chapter 3 - #3 I am off!!

Wang Xiaobo and Li Ming reached their destination which was an old house in the abode of mountains. The place did not held any grandeur but was filled with the aroma of various herbs, dried plants and a beautiful garden of various flowers. At that time not many flowers were discovered so every flower had a good value.

"Aigoo it's our Xiao Wangzi. Come ,come inside . Today I prepared something special for you. Here ,it is as sweet as honey my new delicacy. Try it "requested an old man with long white hair probably passed 70s.

Li Ming who was hungry and was his second visit to old man's house ,did not know much about this place.

"I will try !"said Li Ming excitedly.

Wang Xiaobo shook his head with a smile. He got up and went to bring some water. Here Ming drank the whole bowl in one gulp. As soon as he tasted it ,he threw the whole on the table. His eyes were watering and he was looking for something. Xiaobo gave him water from a jug ,instead of taking the glass ,Ming took the jug and drank to his content . After a few minutes, Ming took a few deep breaths and calmed himself.

Then he looked at the old man and his face fumed with anger.

"You old hog, how can tell that it is sweet. Its clearly bitter. Why did you even make this poison? "Yelled Ming in frustration.

The old man laughed loudly.

"This is the first time someone called me an hog. You are very brave my boy, I think you don't know me at all "said the old man.

"I ask for forgiveness on behalf of my brother. "said Xaiobo.

"Don't. Its okay, I have seen all types of this people. This young man does not held any grudges in his heart. He comes clean and is very pure from heart. And by the way ,brat that was a medicine. It may be bitter for your tongue but it works as honey for your organs and body health as they are replenished with good energy. "said the old man.

"Sorry for being rude. Thank you sir for the medicine" said Ming with an apologetic face.

"You came twice but still don't know my name. My name is Malik Xavier. I was a doctor in other state and then 10 years ago I settled in this state. " said Xavier.

"Thank you Mr. Malik "said Ming.

"Now let's get down to work, shall we Xiao Wangzi?" asked the old man and they both went in other room while Li Ming stayed there .

"What is the disease that brother has that needs treatment every month ? And he said if we did not come here by the end if 30 days, he won't be able to handle it. What is troubling brother? Li Ming's thoughts revolved around with his hands busy eating berries kept on table.

In Rostebe, Tian shi had come back and was playing with the spirits.

"Tian shi, if you want to go to the human realm, you should take two or three spirits with you. And for that you need to use your powers to spiritually attach the spirits with your power so that you can connect telepathically. Of course the humans won't be able to see these spirits nor hear them ,but these spirits will guide you with how to talk and how the realm works. Tian shi nodded in excitement whenever the word human realm came. She choose peach spirit, old banyan spirit and plum spirit.

After completion of the process , all four were able to understand each other's emotion and can talk through mind link.

"Alright. You are prepared to go to the human realm. Do as you want and remember this is your home. Come whenever you are tired." Said lemon spirit after providing her a dress which is wore by human females.

"Now tell me who is your family and what your family does." Asked apple spirit.

"My mother is Xiang Huan and father is Xiang Feng and my brother will be Xiang Chen. " said Tian shi

"Peach spirit will create a illusion of female mother while banyan spirit will of a father. Plum spirit will create illusion of your brother. About money and house they are already present in the name of the salt business called Xiang abode. All was well prepared before so no one will suspect your identity. Play as much as you want and then return to us. Okay?" asked the oldest spirit – pine tree spirit.

Tian shi nodded and she again sprinted off making others smile with tears looking at the indefatigable girl running in the lush green forest welcoming the human realm wholeheartedly.

"Hope she finds happiness and gains what she seeks in the other world" said the apple spirit while smiling looking at the disappearing figure of Tian shi.

When Tian shi came out of Rostebe , she looked at the three spirits and then at the forest ahead of her with animals running, walking all around.

"HUMAN REALM I AM COMING !!" Yelled Tian shi while catching her breath.

In the east mountains,

Wang Xiaobo came our from the room followed by Malik Xavier.

"You are finally out. I am starving !!Let's go and eat in some good restaurant " said Li Ming.

"Huh!!?? , my berries. Where are my berries? I collected them with so much efforts. Little brat you...you ATE THEM" said old Xavier looking at Ming aghast.

"And you are still hungry ? Is that stomach or ocean?" taunted Xiaobo. Li Ming had nothing to say except giving a sheepish smile towards both of them.

"Let's go brother you must be hungry. It will be late till we go down the mountain." Said Ming while pulling Xiaobo by hand. Xiaobo looked behind at old Xavier and bowed down before catching up with the impatient Ming.

It was noon when they reached the city and they were famished due to the tiring journey. They ordered a lots of food in the famous restaurant of Mei Karta – Feast from the East.

They had started their meal when some royal guards barged in. The head of the restaurant came to welcome the guest personally. Seeing this ,commotion raised in the restaurant. Ming who likes seeing dramas and commotion went ahead to look.

"Third Prince is here. Pay respect to third Prince." Said one of the royal guards loudly so that everyone in the restaurant can hear.

"Third Prince!! Brother, let's go and pay respect" said Ming.

"I am older in age. Why should I? You pay respect!" said Xiaobo making a poker face.

Third Prince entered the restaurant and all bowed before him except Wang Xiaobo. Third Prince in his golden robes, thick black hair and long face with brown eyes showed kindness as well as an intrepid fighter from the body structure.

"You, how dare you not pay respect to our Third Prince – Wang Hong.

"Oh no !! He saw brother despite being him the last and far behind. We are in trouble. Disrespect to Prince means disrespect to royal family and indirectly to His Majesty which is a crime. What should I do now?" Li Ming was thinking as to what he should do to save his brother.

The Royal guards was going towards Xiaobo when the third Prince stopped him.

"I will talk with him. He disrespected me, so I will deal with him" said the Prince and went towards Xiaobo.

Wang Hong caught Xiaobo's wrist and after a few minutes he twisted it and pressed his back with his other hand.

"From now on, whenever you see the royal family, learn to pay respect. Otherwise no one be lenient on you" said Wang Hong and then ordered the owner to show the private room.

"Brother are you okay? Does your arm hurt?" asked Ming.

Xiaobo shook his head and gave a small smile.

"You better be careful around the royal family. Don't cause unnecessary trouble. Please" said Ming because he knew Xiaobo never respects the royal family. He never does what they command. Ming and Wei git in trouble many times.

"Little brother, when one have less knowledge then one should speak less" said Xiaobo.

"That means you won't listen or respect the royal family. Fine do as you wish. I am hungry" Li Ming goes to their table after ranting and stuffs his mouth in anger. Xiaobo smiles seeing the childish yet caring nature and joins him.
