The White Lotus and The Black Flower

"Did you have fun, sister Mei?" The woman asked as she glared at me.

"Hmm? Whatever for, sister Li?" I smile and pat the open area on the bed next to me "I'm always open for more fun you know?" A teasing smile crosses my lips but that gets her to glare at me even further before sighing.

"Master wanted to ask you something so she fetched me here to get you. Now get yourself dressed" is all my sister says before she leaves the room and closest it.

"My…what a troublesome sister I have" without much fanfare I pick a random set of clothes and put them on. "This world sure is funny. An ancient world yet full with some amazing clothing concepts" to fit my pure asthetic that I was born with I put on white gloves and adorn my hair with a white flower along with a beautifully ordained robe with flower embroidery.

With a smile I exit my room and find my sister waiting outside for me with an annoyed expression.

"Choosing the most tasteful of colors again, huh?" Her sarcasm was venomous but I smiled at her blatant amusement

"Blame master for spoiling me" we begin walking across the sect, occasionally passing by people who bow at our general direction.

"I never understood why master accepted you as one of her disciples" I hum and smile.

"Jealous?" She scoffs as if I offended her.

"Yes" as always she was blunt about her feelings. My martial sister Li Hei who was born with an above average looks and prided herself on her talent above all else…is the front she puts up with for everyone else.

Black eyes and black hair, a common color in the world yet so normal and eye catching, a contradiction perhaps but that's the feeling she gives off.

"I don't know either, maybe because of my path and your unique constitution?" She scoffs again.

"As if" my beautiful and always prideful sister was born with a unique constitution called the yin constitution that made her dress in proactive clothing to emphasize her feminity.

Ironic that I who dress purely to be the most depraved and for her who constantly shows her assets to be the most prudish of all. An irony that wasn't missed by the sect as they hilariously nicknamed us White Lotus for me and Black Lotus for her respectfully.

"But it is odd how our master has tried to get us together considering how I define my path and how you defined yours" in the cultivation sense…probably.

"Hmm" she nods "You selfishly devour everything for yourself, never giving and always taking more and more"

"And you always restrict yourself, shackling oneself with great chains to stop your overbearing love" a love too great, in other words she's too nice that she always keeps her love in check so that she may never get hurt again.

It's a personality trait that has long since evolved and become a path for her to cultivate in. If I were akin to a white painting then she would be a black painting, but our paths, our essence, are inverse to what we look like.

The white lotus who bares her ugliness to all and the black lotus who shins in purity. Mhmm that's probably why our master wants us to get together, she finds it ironic in a way of who we are.

With the final step we reach the door to our masters room and so we proceed to go inside before bowing.

"So you've come" from the large seat in the room our master awaits us there, amusingly eyeing us with great irony.

"I have brought sister Hua Mei, master" my sister says with punctuated ease.

"I heard you needed me, master?" A haughty laugh emenates from her.

"Relax and take a seat" we do as we're told and take a seat. "Now as why I called you , Hua Mei I see you finally reached the Chakra Saṃghaṭana stage" I nod and smile.

"It was easy master, there were a lot of kind brothers who lent me an aid" and it really was. By having sex with five men a day I absorbed a lot of yang energy so my cultivation was on the easier side of things compared to others who had to sit down and absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

Well exceptions do exist…and they are all talented monsters

"Good, as for you Li Hei…huh, I see your on the verge of breaking through to the Chakra Parināmana stage, how diligent" for example my sister unique yin constitution made cultivation a lot easier as the earth gave her more bountiful blessings than it did for everybody else. "Take this" she throws a storage ring at my sister who catches it.

"Master?" Our master smiles at us.

"Three months I have accepted you as my disciples, there's only so much you can grow without experiencing the wide world"

"…are we finally getting kicked out?" I voice out loud and get a laugh from her.

"No. I'm simply saying to explore continent for six months before coming back to the sect" she says before smiling "I expect you two to have grown adequately enough before I truly begins imparting my techniques and wisdom upon you two" at our masters words I turn and see my sister do the same as we stare at each other in confusion.

"You want us to explore the land?" My sister asks and our master nods.

"Explore it and grow. Learn the feeling of battle be it against beasts or your fellow cultivators, I'll see your growth after you come back" she says before gazing at the sky "After all the world is filled with so many mysteries and dangers that that's the only way to grow"

What a sad existence…
