The heir's birthday

" I won't talk to it!" Longwei said as he crossed his arms on his chest. He glared at his sister for making him do something as ridiculous as talking to animals that won't even understand him. Seeing her brother's glare, Xinyi didn't even flinch because the way her brother is looking at her is not scary at all, Just the look that says 'you're annoying me'.

Xinyi wanted to say something when she saw her brother looking at the lake with creased brows. She looks at the lake but she didn't find anything strange from how the fishes were behaving So she asked him " Brother what's wrong?"

"I-- I can hear them!" He said as he looks at his sister with eyes full of disbelief. Xinyi looked at her brother and from the way he is looking at her, she knows that he isn't joking So she became silent so as to listen to the fishes talking.

" We can hear you, your Majesty!" The mystical creature said as he was the one leading them, he bowed and the rest of the them all followed. When Xinyi heard them, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She finally opened her mouth and said " We- we can understand them but how..." Xinyi was thinking deeply when she suddenly remembered the way they addressed her brother. " Did they just say, your majesty!..." Xinyi said before bursting into laughter " You're their king. The king of the animals... Haha!!!" Xinyi said while holding her stomach. She finds it hilarious that her brother is the king of the animals, and when she draw the dots, she finally understand why animals love her brother. Because he's their king!

His sister was rolling on the grass as she laughed her ass off. Longwei looked at his sister rolling on the ground, he ignored what she said about him being their king. He walks up to the Mystical creature that was in the lake, jumping with excitement. He sat on the ground as he asked " What do you mean, your king"

" Your Majesty. You are the king, No the emperor and we are honoured to serve you" Longwei scratched his head, he was just going to ignore was the creature said. His sister was still laughing like a Maniac, So he asked " Can you please go back to were you came from?" Longwei asked nicely because if they stayed then he and his sister would not be able to get the buckets. The mystical creature bowed as he said " Your wish is my command, your majesty" before he went back deep inside the lake as the others followed.

By this time Xinyi has finally stopped laughing and it was because she finds difficult breathing. She sat down on the grass as she looks at her brother while wiping a tear that has formed on the corner of her eye. " I was right! They will listen to their king. Hehe~" Xinyi continued giggling as she stood up, Longwei also stood up and said " Lets just get the buckets and go back home."

Longwei started walking. His sister also followed him but because she was walking by the edge of the lake, she tripped on a rock and fell into the water. Longwei turns looked at his sister and laughed softly after he heard the splashing of water.

Xinyi looks at her brother with the look that says ' I deserve it'. She tried to stand up so that she can get out of the water. After getting out of the water, she started kicking her foot in the water but when she did it three times, She felt something under her foot So she tried to stand on it and that's when she felt something like an invisible block that keeps her balanced in the water. She called her brother who was still walking as she said loudly " Brother come, look!"

Longwei stopped in his tracks before he turns around, even when he saw his sister playing in the water, he still went to her. When he was close to her he said "What is it?"

"Walk in the water"

"What?" Longwei asked with his brow raised. Is his sister losing it.

" Please!" his sister pleaded him so he did it even though it was the most ridiculous thing he has ever heard of. He put his foot in the water but instead of falling in the water, he felt as though he was on the ground so he continued walking in the water.

'What is happening today!' Longwei said inwardly as he watched what he was doing in amazement and disbelief. His sister also followed him and the went to pick their bucket.

After playing a little in the water, they also discovered that they can use the water like a surf board after all that fun, they picked up their things and began walking out of the forest. On theit way back home longwei said " Don't use your new powers in public. I don't want to be used as a puppet by father"

" Okay"

They went back home to find their mom cooking in the kitchen. "Hey mom" they said simultaneously with a bright smile. Mother Xu smiled brightly at them as she said " Hello my babies. Where did you go? Their mom asked. She thought that they were playing outside but when she saw them enter the kitchen with buckets of water and baskets of fruit, she felt warm in her heart but she is also worried

" You shouldn't be carrying something this heavy. You should have woke me up, I would done it myself" Mother Xu was looking upset as she scold her children.

"Sorry mom" they again said simultaneously

Xinyi picked up an apple from the basket and tossed it to her brother before picking one for herself. Then she walked out of the kitchen as she said "Mom I'm going outside"

"Okay but be careful"

"I will"

Xinyi was walking leisurely in the Xu resistance when she heard Concubine Wan taking to Xu Chao and his brother, Xu ming. She hid behind the wall to eavesdrop.

"Xu Chao, I want you to take this pendant to Grandma Xu. The birthday of heir of the Lu residents is tomorrow night so don't mess this up. This pendant is really expensive and your Grandma Xu ordered your father to buy it in Lin city. Now since your father is back, Grandma Xu asked for it, so you must prove yourself as a responsible person and make me proud. And Xu ming, this is a mystical beast orb. You have to take this to Grandpa Xu. It is his gift to the heir so you must keep it safe. If this is lost and we end up going without gifts, our family will lose face, so you must protect them"

"Yes mother" The brothers said simultaneously.

Xinyi who was eavesdropping rubbed her hands together as she smiled evilly.
