Cover Your Eyes

Wo Shie remained unconscious for 5 hours and woke up slightly after lunch time due to Fu Shen entering his room to check on him because he hadn't come to get him to explore the city yet and he was worried something may have happened.

"Ah no everything is fine, thank you for coming to check on me I just laid down for some rest after checking out that short sword you left me… by the way where did it go?" Wo Shie confirmed he was alright but was slightly confused because he remembered making it halfway onto his bed with the katana still in his hand.

'When you grabbed the katana it fused with your soul it's probably within that weird body of yours' a magnanimous voice sounded in Wo Shie's ears giving him a nice surprise which made him jump up a little.

"You heard that too right?" Wo Shie asked Fu Shen to make sure he wasn't losing it.

"That's probably my master, there's nothing in this castle capable of evading his senses, actually nothing in this city that's why I chose to come here as soon as possible with the teleportation talisman." Fu Shen confirmed the identity of the mysterious voice and assured Wo Shie that he wasn't going crazy.

"Yes yes, it was me no need to be frightened or worried, explore and enjoy the city a bit and once you get back we will meet and I will explain a few things to you and also help you begin your cultivation journey." This time the magnanimous voice reverberated throughout the room where Wo Shie and Fu Shen could hear him.

"Okay…" Wo Shie said while looking for the sword that had disappeared a little earlier. Checking the universe inside his body Wo Shie was surprised to find that the short sword had grown to maybe 1000x its original size and had began to orbit around the giant black and white sun like core within him.

After seeing that the sword wasn't lost his consciousness returned to the outside world as he told Fu Shen, "I'm ready let's see what this city has to offer."

"Alright let's go I had a carriage prepared earlier, so they're just waiting on us. Uhhh here wear these." Fu Shen said this while pulling out a pair of reflective glasses for Wo Shie to put on his face.

Seeing how Wo Shie was looking at him awakardly he then explained, "I don't know what's up with your eyes but they're very distinct and if anyone saw them that guy might be able to find us sooner so I think it's best if you cover them."

"Oh… well I don't know if I should say thank you or be offended but thanks I guess." Wo Shie said with the same awakened expression plastered on his face as he grabbed the glasses and put them on.

"Alright let's head out!" Fu Shen said enthusiastically as he and Wo Shie headed down to the courtyard where the carriage was waiting.

The carriage was completely black with a single gold insignia of a wolfs head on each side. The wolf insignia's eyes were red and almost looked alive startling Wo Shie slightly.

The carriage was drawn surprising by two wolves that Wo Shie didn't know the species of. They stood at an overwhelming 12 in height and 18 feet from their head to the tip of their tail. Their fur was all black with a crescent shape of gold on their backs. And their eyes were also gold giving them an eerie and majestic look.

Wo Shie looked back and forward from the wolves to Fu Shen because Fu Shen's wolf form bore striking similarities as these wolves here.

Seeing this Fu Shen cleared his suspicions, "These are Midnight Alpha Wolves, yes we have some of the same bloodline flowing through our veins, but their essentially 100% wolf while My mother is a human and my father was powerful enough to take human form. But my father was a Darkness Wolf, darkness wolves are the ancestor of the midnight alpha wolves so that's why my wolf form doesn't look exactly like them."

"As long winded as ever old man, alrightttt, but wait that doesn't explain why you were a bear at first!?" Wo Shie quickly pointed out the flaw in his story.

"It's just genetics, what do you think you'd get when an ancestral wolf beast and a human make a kid, I don't know it could probably be anything from a human to a lycan, hell maybe even a vampire could pop out of that situation I don't study genealogy." Fu Shen quickly retorted having any flaws in his explanation as when humans and beast mated the outcome was often times a random combinations of their genes and traits in a way that the offspring would be able to live a natural life.

It wasn't uncommon for the children born to humans and beast to be born crippled or even extremely talented it really just depended on how lucky they were.

"Alright stop thinking before you get a headache and get in the carriage we have a city to explore." Fu Shen said to Wo Shie.

Wo Shie stopped thinking about this situation and got into the carriage "wait did you just call me stupid!?" Wo Shie was shocked Fu Shen would drop a sly comment like that he almost missed.

Fu Shen only laughed silently and boarded the carriage as well as they headed out of the castle gates.
