9 Third Eye

A couple miles before they reach back home, Da Xia shivers, "So cold.." It was summer. How could Da Xia have gotten "cold" on such a hot day? Wu Zhou walks beside her, "Cold?? Are you crazy? It's freaking hot here!" He looks at her and sees her shivering as if it's winter.

She stays silent, trying to keep her body warm as she walks. Her teeth begins chattering. Suddenly, a grayish blue robe wraps around her shoulders.

Wu Zhou places his hand behind her back and chants a spell, "The universe holds power for which the stars and sun contains, allow me to lend some heat to provide warmth to vanish the cold."

Da Xia begins the feel the warmth enter her body from Wu Zhou's hand. Slowly, her body becomes warmer and warmer as seconds passes by. Then, Wu Zhou removes his hand from her back and turns around. He clasps both his hands then hits the air after a short spell chant.

The air ripples and echoes throughout the sky. The buildings beside them shakes as if there were an earthquake. Da Xia turns around to see what he was doing. Numerous of evil spirits were being burnt to ashes and disintegrated into the thin air.

Her eyes widens, "What was that?!" Wu Zhou turns back to look at her, "Demonic spirits. They seemed to be following you around for awhile now. It's no wonder why you felt cold though it's summer."

That frightened her even more. Why were there such demonic spirits following her around, what did they want from her?

While in such deep thoughts, Wu Zhou quickly pulls her to the side, "Stay down low!" Da Xia then snaps out of her thoughts, "Huh, why?" She looks over to the direction where Wu Zhou's eye's were. Royal members scavenging around . They rode their horses, slowly looking at everyone.

Wu Zhou looks at Da Xia, "Looks like they're looking for us all. We'd better run this, we can't blend in with the crowd since they know how we look like."

She tugs his robe, "But I never lifted my face, they wouldn't know who I am nor how I look like."

Fan Bi Yu giggles, "And we're on a mission to find Xiao Jin's love?! What more interesting can this be!" Xue Qin precisely looks around the village.

He suddenly remembers, "Damn it! I forgot to ask the man what Da Xia was wearing.." Bi Yu looks over at him with a mischievous smirk, "Do you remember how her face looks like? If you tell me in such details I can easily find her for you."

Wu Zhou and Da Xia finally returns back home. Quickly he tells Ying Pei and Jia Yi, "They're here!! Should we just fight them off?! They seriously annoy the hell out of me!" Jia Yi tries to calm Wu Zhou down, "We needn't do such things, don't think too much. I'm sure this won't be as bad."

Ying Pei looks out the door, "We'll be fine right where we are." Confused Da Xia asks, "Why's that?" He smiles at her, "Trust me. We will be fine." For some reason, his words felt strongly full of confidence. He was someone trustworthy of and reliable.

Xiao Jian wakes up from his sleep, he rubs his eyes, "Mommy I'm hungry." Jia Yi walks over to him, "I will make you food in just a bit okay?" Her eyes looks back at Ying Pei, "What are you going to do?"

He scoffs back at her, "I don't have the powers of Trickery and Illusions for a reason right?" She laughs, "Got it. You're the best of all Xie Ying Pei."

Da Xia continues to wonder, what kind of magic does she hold within? Is it as strong as theirs?

Wu Zhou pulls her over, "I wouldn't be too near him if I were you." Before she could ask why, Ying Pei started his chant. A huge ray of magic beamed out from his hands and shook the entire place.

A translucent barrier formed from outside and sealed the house. A chinese character then arises and explodes in beautiful golden dust, signifying that the house was safe.

The royal guards walks past by the house, "There seems to be nothing else beyond this mountain."

"Still, let's check it out anyways, the Prince will be furious if we didn't."

"Yeah man! Let's check through just in case. Who knows, there could be an abandoned house here. That woman could be living there."

Jia Yi, Ying Pei, Wu Zhou, and Da Xia then looks at each other. Woman? Who could they possibly mean? Wu Zhou crosses his arms, "They're not possibly looking for YOU, are they?" His eyes looks straight at Jiang Da Xia.

She gives off a fake laughter, "No way! Why would they be looking for me?"

He speaks out again, "You ARE suspicious by the way. Maybe they caught that feeling of mine too." Jia Yi joins in the talk, "Da Xia, they've never seen you before, so why would they possibly be looking for you? Not to mention that the 'Prince' sent them to look for you."

Xie Ying Pei shakes his head, "What if it's not Da Xia? It could be someone else and you guys are just there scaring her for no reason." Xiao Jian smiles and points at her, "That's because Aunty Xia is a very special person!"

Wu Zhou mocks Xiao Jian, "Aunty Xia is a very special person." Jia Yi smacks him them looks at her son, "Xiao Jian, what do you mean by 'Special?'" Ying Pei sits down by him, "Do you see something in her?"

Da Xia looks at everyone while trembling in little fear, "What? Does he have some kind of magical powers too??"

Xiao Jian laughs, "Aunty Xia has a really bright red core! That's why there's so many spirits around her!"

'Huh? A bright red core?' They all thought to their selves.

Jia Yi answers Da Xia's question, "My son has a opened third eye. He can see spiritual stuff and things our human eyes cannot see."

Ying Pei leans back in his chair, "There's only two bright red cores here in this world~" Jia Yi replies back, "Which would mean that there's "three" now because Da Xia too, has one."

Wu Zhou locks his eyes at Da Xia, "That can't be possible..."
