Pixie Dust (1)

Li Ming stared at the group of pixies in front of her. She was now seriously regretting her decision of keeping these little monsters with her. If she had slightest idea at that time that she would come across such a situation, she would probably had made a different decision.

Now you guys would be wondering about what these little angels would have done to make our female lead call them monsters, right?

So, basically the moment Li Ming finally got away from the torturous sword art learning session with Ruoshan, she came face to face with another problem.

Moreover, this one didn't make any sense to her.

When she appeared in her back garden to take a look at the pixies, she found all of them sitting around in a group, looking sad and depressed. Some of them were even crying!

Now, her first stupidity was the decision of letting the pixies stay in her mansion. Then her second stupidity was the decision to check on them. But it was not enough, so she again added another one on the list and that was asking about - 'what was wrong?'

And when she received the answer to her question, she knew at that moment that she was doomed.

Alvina told her that she and her group had ran out of the pixie dust. That sparkling powder known as the legendary Pixie Dust was the most precious treasure of the pixies. Since, they had no more pixie dust with them, they were now completely useless as they could no more performe their daily activities.

Li Ming rubbed her forehead as she again felt a headache coming over within the span of last two days. She looked at the teary eyed little angels and sighed.

"Don't tell me that you guys want me to send you all back to the Pixie Hollow because trust me, I don't think that it's possible. Like - EVER!!"

The pixies looked at each other and then Terra said in a small voice, "No! We are not asking you to send us back because we know that it's not possible. But...W-we want y-you to....."

Li Ming was actually surprised to see the blonde hesitating. She didn't know whether to laugh because the one who was always there to give her (Li) sarcastic responses was not even able to complete a single sentence or should she cry because whatever Terra was hesitating to say would probably not be good for her (Li).

"Go on. Don't keep me waiting! I have other things to do." Li Ming said as she prepared herself for whatever was coming her way.

This time it was Alvina who spoke. The little fairy took a deep breath and said in a hurry, "We want you to help us find a Moonstone!"

It took a moment for Li Ming to register Alvina's words.

"A What..?"

Li Ming stared at the pixies like they had grown horns on their heads.

"You can't be serious. This place is not your Pixie Hollow. Where am I supposed to find that little blue ball of yours and...Wait a minute - is that moonstone a real thing?"

Her question made her receive not very pleasing, glances or should I say glares, from the pixies.

'Well at least she got the answer!'

"Com'on Winter! This world is full of magic or...what is that...ah! Spiritual energy. From rocks to water, animal, birds and humans, all have magic. Is it really that impossible to find a stone that has the same properties as the moonstone?" The desperation was clear in Alvina's voice.

Li Ming sighed as she thought about what Alvina had just said. She was actually right. In this world of spiritual energy and immortals, she also thought that there should be at least one stone somewhere which could be similar to the moonstone.

"Do any of you know how to make pixie dust?" Li Ming asked after a few minutes.

The pixies looked at each other and then shook their heads in negative.

"B-but as long as we have the moonstone, we can find a way!" Terra said in a voice that was supposed to be cheerful or at least that's what Li Ming thought.

Li Ming continued to look at the pixies, when her eyes caught the little fairy in the back of the group.

"Bobble, do you have something to say?"

Bobble looked both surprised and terrified when he heard Li Ming calling his name. He noticed that all the pixies were now looking at him in confusion.

He went to the front of the group and looked at Li Ming. Then he turned towards his fellow fairies and said in a little voice, "I need to tell all of you something."

The pixies looked at each other in confusion but no one said anything until Clank. And being the face reader as well as a mind reader, it didn't take long for Li Ming to realize that Clank was already aware of whatever Bobble was going to say and moreover he didn't look happy about it.

"Go on. We all are listening. Just make sure to raise your voice a few notes higher so that everyone can hear you clearly!" Clank said as he folded his arms.

Li Ming would have laughed at the way Clank looked with a pout and folded hands, if not for the heaviness floating around them and the seriousness of the situation.

Bobble looked ashamed as he heard Clank's words.

"I have t-the Pixie Hollow Book.....with me.....h-here."

As soon as Bobble completed his sentence, each and every fairy gave a full dramatic response. Like some gasped in horror, some looked too shocked to even react and some were looking at Bobble with wide eyes.

But in the mean time, Li Ming looked completely clueless. Right! She had no idea what was going on.

Do you....??
