32. Special Marks.

"The pain can be taken care of? How then? " she asked her.

"You really are like your ancestor. I remember auntie was also the exact same. She was intimidated whenever mother spooked her a little. Sure there's a way... but then... the only way is for all the other six beings to pray to the gods again. The gods had interactions with the seven beings so we could easily pray to them for anything. "

"But then when we were let out into the world again, they haven't answered any of our prayers at all. I found a very old journal of my father which was left by our ancestor who was hidden away with the other beings. If we ever wanted to talk to the gods again, we had to go back to the place they were sealed and they would be waiting for us. "

"Why did it have to be that condition? All the other beings are scattered around the world... forget it then. Song Mimi... you mentioned something about me not being able to copy marks. What's that about? " she asked her.

"Oh right, all the beings have special marks. You have the ability of looks and for now, you've seen the rose mark. Weapon forgery has the mark of the phoenix and summoning of spirits has the dragon mark. And also, healing ability had a lotus mark. That's the only information I could find about the marks in my father's journal. The rest were not written before my ancestor died. Not even manipulation was written. " she said to her.

"It's alright then, I can find out when I unlock the ability of manipulation. It doesn't matter either way. " Zhou Sheng said as she watched Mimi suddenly spill blood.

"Oh my goodness, I totally forgot about that. Why did you keep going on when you knew you'd get hurt? Come on, I'll take you to your room so you can have some rest there. " she said as she took her hand helping her up to her room.

"Song Luo, did you ask Zhang Xu why Mi Xiaoyu is not in school? When does he plan on coming back? I know he's annoying but now he's not here and it feels soo... boring. " she said as she turned to Song Luo but she was fast asleep.

"Why can't I ever get anything out of you? Never mind either ways, I'm sure you're not on good terms with Zhang Xu either way. " she said with a sigh putting her head on the table as well.

"You shouldn't dwell on someone who has a girlfriend too much. You'll get hurt pretty badly. " Song Luo suddenly said to her.

"I know. But I can still be his friend. I wouldn't like to loose a friend because of my one sided love. " she said then the bell rang and everyone got up to leave right away.

"So where are we headed now? Cafeteria? " Song Luo asked her.

"Of course. Where else? Aren't you hungry? For some reason you're always hungry. " she said to her as they walked down the hallway.

"Dong Shaofei...! " someone yelled as both of them turned right away to see Mi Xiaoyu standing from a distance.

"You really didn't miss me did you? " he asked her and Shaofei forgot all the boundaries she set for herself and walked hurriedly towards him as he also walked towards her and just when they were almost there, Fei Wuxin stepped in the middle with Fei Xi.

"Babe, I missed you soo much! " she said as she hugged him tight then and Dong Shaofei stood there as she felt her heart being pierced by a thousand swords.

Fei Wuxin stepped away as she turned to look at Dong Shaofei. Then she sneered and walked closer to her and hugged her also.

"What do you know? I missed you also, you really do come in handy when you're needed. " she said and Shaofei just smiled awkwardly as she turned to Mi Xiaoyu.

"I'll see you around then. " she said and then walked away and Song Luo followed behind her.

"So do you still... "

"I'm going up to the rooftop. Don't come looking for me. " she said and went away.

"Poor thing, she's soo naive. " she said to herself as Zhang Xu approached her standing right in front if her.

"Speaking of another nuisance. Your friend is such a jerk. If he doesn't like his girlfriend, why doesn't he stay away from her then? Rather than giving innocent people false hopes. " she said looking at him full of rage.

"Why does it feel as though you're not referring to Mi Xiaoyu but me rather? But why would you refer to me as that? I haven't hurt you in anyway and I've told you Fei Xi and I are nothing but friends. Why are you so hard to reason with? How many times do I have to explain this to you? " he asked her.

"I don't know? Maybe when she's not walking with you all the time. I find it hard to trust that you have nothing to do with her when she's always walking with you. " she said and walked away.

"What is the matter with you girls? " he asked himself and walked away also.

"What a waste of effort? And I was also actually going to hug him? What exactly was I thinking? Dong Shaofei, you can't fall in love with someone who's already in love. Keep that in your thick skull. " she said to herself multiple times tapping her head when someone held her hand suddenly and she opened her eyes.

"Mi Xiaoyu, what are you doing here? " she asked him and he pulled her from the wall hugging her tightly as though she had been lost for years surprising Dong Shaofei.

"Hey... hey... what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Is everything alright with you? " she asked him patting his back but he removed her hand hugging her even more tightly.

"For once, don't console me. Just stay still like this, for just a while. It is the only thing I need from you now. " he said to her and Dong Shaofei slowly let her guard down as her heart kept racing.
