Chapter 6 - Teasing Li Mei (OLD)

On the wooden bench in the garden that is located withing elder Lei estate, Aurelius is laying.While looking at the sun he's thinking about what happened.

"Even though there is no mana here, my thirst for mana is no more after drinking blood, and I can fell somewhat familiar aura emanating from humans that I met. If I'm correct strenght of this Elder Wei is somewhere around mid/late master, and these girls who found me were in strenght similar to lesser expert." While lying on the bench Aurelius thought.

"Sun is exactly the same as the one in home, I wonder what happened after I disappeared.I hope that Althea and Leo are safe." After saying the last rods he let out a long sight.

"Aurelius, get up we have a guest."Aurelius was woken up from his thoughts by a feminine voice.

He looked around and except for Elder Lei Wei witch was reading book on the balcony he have noticed a petite girl standing next to the entrance of the estate.

"Disciple greets elder, I would like to elder to help sister Liu Qiqi with a wound on her back. ." After greeting elder she spoke her intentions.

"I heard that she was injured amidst fight with the black flame sect disciples. What exactly happened?" Elder Wei closed her book and asked.

"One of the disciples of black flame sect slashed her back with a sinister looking black ax, sister Liu used dressing pill to relive pain and heal the wound, but after returning to the sect and resting the wound have not even closed and the pain started to increase." Lin Xiuxiu summarized the course of events.

"Have you spoke to the Li Mei? With her medical skills and pills you should have easily heal a wound made by ax." Elder Wei clearly interested started asking more questions.

"We have visited elder sister Li Mei but she could only lighten the pain but she couldn't heal the wound." Xiuxiu spoke with concern.

"Alright I will go with you." After saying this she turned to the Aurelius ans spoke."You are coming with us, I will have a job for you after we will be done with this." Elder Wei spoke and jumped from the balcony.

After roughly 5 minutes of walking the trio arrived to their destination to the house of Li Mei. Elder Sister Li Mei as someone with talent as physician and alchemist had house bigger that was than the ones assigned to other inner disciples.

As they walked all the girls who saw Aurelius's face blushed and began to gossip among themselves.

"He's the one who is staying with elder?""He's so handsome, but why is he here?""I heard that he's Elder Wei lover" Various questions and speculations were heard everywhere Aurelius appeared.

While nearing to the door Aurelius sensed familiar scent of various medical herbs.

"White grass, blood rye and silver berries? Is someone trying to make potion with healing properties and resistance to heat?" Thoughts assaulted Aurelius, as someone who mastered the way of alchemy he could easily recognize the herbs used, but the thing that intrigued him the most was that magical herbs same as vampires and monsters have to feed on mana. Maybe it's my imagination, maybe the herbs used here are just similar in scent to the ones I know.

"Elder Sister Li, It's me Xiuxiu can You open the door?" Lin Xiuxiu spoke while standing next to the doors.

Doors have opened and black haired beauty clad in white robe appeared behind them.

"Come inside"After speaking to Xiuxiu she turned to Elder Wei and spoke." Disciple greets Elder."

"I heard that the wound on Liu Qiqi's back can't be heal by you." Elder Wei spoke to Li Mei and entered the house."

Lin Xiuxiu followed her and lastly Aurelius stepped into the home. When Li Mei noticed Aurelius she wanted to greet him but Aurelius actions startled her.

Aurelius turned to her, gently took her hand and with a slight bow he lightly kissed her hand.His actions made Lin Xiuxiu and Li Mei speechless.

That gently kiss on her hand petrified temporary Li Mei, after waking up from shock her face turned red and with her head down she run to the elder Lei Wei and hid behind her back.

"I will never get tired of this." Aurelius spoke and started walking towards elder Wei.
