Chapter 16 - 16. Hei An and Sheng Jie

Third person POV

Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, do you want to know your real name?"

Hong er : " uhm, I want to. But I still like the name that granny gave me.

Bai Huiqing: " It is okay, actually there are no difference. Because your name is Xu Feihong, it means ' a swan goose soaring high in the sky', we really hope that you will have a bright future. We can still call you Hong er. Your father was the one insisted on giving you this name even though I said that it is too boyish for our daughter. Hmph! "

Xu Tingfeng: " But it is cool right?! Hong er, do you like the name?"

Hong er's eyes were sparkling, she quickly noded her head. ' She likes it this much?' They chuckled while patting her head.

Xu Tingfeng: " Hong er, do you have any hobby?"

Hong er: " I like cooking, reading, and practicing martial arts. Even though I like to read, I never really had a book."

Xu Tingfeng: " Ohoo~, you like martial art dontcha? Do you want to learn martial art? I will teach you everything I know."

Hong er: " Really?!"

Xu Tingfeng: " Of course! Hahaha."

Hong er: " Thank you so much father!"

Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, What book do you like to read?"

Hong er: " Uumm, I don't really know, I like to read everything."

Bai Huiqing: " Is that so? Well, I will bring you to our library. You can read everything in there."

Hong er: " Thank you mother! I will study hard from now on so I won't disappoint you."

'Our child is so cute'

Bai Huiqing brought Hong er to the library, she explained each section of the books to Hong er. Hong er was fascinated by the library. There are 3 floors, the first floor is literature section, the second floor is magic section, and the third section is war and military section. You can see all the book neatly placed on the book racks from the first floor. Each floor have 2 bridges connecting each side of the library. The wood crafts are amazing. And on the first floor there are tables and chairs, so you can read without getting sore legs.

Bai Huiqing saw Hong er's amazed expression while she looks around the library. She feels like she saw a puppy wagging her tail while looking around with sparkling eyes.

Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, do you want mother to hire a teacher for you?"

Hong er: " Uhm, there are so many things that I still don't know."

Bai Huiqing: " Good girl, do you want to study magic with mother? But even if you are my own daughter, I won't go easy on you."

Hong er: " I want to! No matter how hard the lesson is, I will not give up!"

Bai Huiqing: " Then, follow me to my study room."

The maids that follow behind are giggling, this pair of mother and daughter are so cute. They hold hands while walking, they swung their hands front and back like little kids. Bai Huiqing was explaining about magic all the way to her study room. And Hong er was really focused on listening to her explanation.

Bai Huiqing: " In this realm, we have gods and spirits. There are 3 types of gods, the oldest god is God of Light Sheng Jie and God of Darkness Hei An. In myth, they are husband and wife. Hei An, God of Darkness, the one who ruled the underworld fell in love with the God of Light Sheng Jie. Every creature were afraid of Hei An, they never talk or stand close to him, that's why he was very lonely. And when his power was unstable, it can cause death of many creatures. Sheng Jie couldn't bear looking at her beloved creatures suffer so she went to find the God of Darkness. But what she saw is the crying Hei An. The kindhearted Sheng Jie immediately hugged Hei An, " Why are you crying?" she asked Hei An. " I am lonely, no one loves me. They hate me because I took their beloved's life. But that is my job, I've got no choice." He cried in Sheng Jie's bosom. " Shh Shh Shh, I am here, I will accompany you." And since then, their love grew and they became inseparable. But it wasn't enough to prove their love to the other gods. Even if they were the oldest gods, they still have someone with a higher authority than them, their Creator. The Creator gave them a test, they have to reincarnate and they have to be in love.

A boy would be blessed with the God of Darkness' power but the darkness can easily corrupt the boy and make him go berserk. That's why there would be a girl blessed with the God of Light's power to suppress the God of Darkness' unstable power. The boy and the girl who were blessed by the gods, we called them the Selected One. But the book never mention when will the Selected One appear. It said that the girl of the Selected One will be loved by every creature.

The second type is the main element of the world's god. There are four gods, God of Fire Sheng Huo, God of Water Qing Shui, God of Wind Feng Mian, and God of Earth Shu Lin. They control the main elements in this world. Usually the girl of the Selected One will be blessed by these gods, because they are God of Light's follower. They love Sheng Jie so much like their own mother. That's why they were upset when Sheng Jie fell in love with Hei An, they can't accept Hei An as their father. They will never bless the boy of the Selected One because he will have a hard time to control his own power and if they bless him with more power, it will be a disaster. They can bless someone else other than the Selected One but they don't want to. That's why, blessed by the gods of main element is nearly impossible.

And the third is the other element god. They are the branches of the main element gods. Example: God of ice, she is the branch of the God of Water. Even though it was hard to get blessed by these types of gods, still, it was easier than the main element gods. In the history, people that was blessed by these types of gods can be counted by a single hand.

Next, the spirits. Spirits are god's minions. Each place has different spirits. That's why you can feel the difference in each place. The easiest blessing is the blessing of the spirits. Normal person can use magic even though they are not blessed. You are considered a genius even if you are only blessed by one spirit. I have the blessings of 5 spirits. Water, Ice, Gravity, Wood, and Wind. Your father has 2, Fire and Lightning.

Even if I have more blessings, I still can't beat your father. He has a longlasting physical power, I have a huge magic power but still magic power decrease faster than physical power.

Now do you understand the origin of the magic?"

Hong er: " uhm, I understand."
