Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

-Ning Xiangxie POV-

"I was absorbing the ring when..."

-Flashback of the ring absorbing day-

I summoned my Fire Volcano Sword spirit and notice its closeness and eagerness to the plant in front. I slashed and kill it without much difficulty. After a second, a red spirit ring manifested on top of it, sensing the pressure of the ring I cannot help smiling (I'm gonna become one of the youngest titled douluo and with the champion at first position of the greatest treasure for a spirit master).

I sit with the lotus position attracting the ring towards my sword. I sense the power flowing to the sword with a need to concentrate all my spirit, mental and psychical power avoiding turning it berserk. All goes well until suddenly a big mental chock come from the ring saying"BURN" I confront it head on and focusing my mental power I destroy the plant spirit listening the last word of the Lily "BURN! DIE!". In this moment all power of the ring comes to me, like influenced by the flower last conscience it let me absorb it too quickly. Having not recuperated my mental state I can't control the new evolved power, even when usually I'm immune to my own fire, and starts burning me, being the pain so strong that trying to recuperate seems like impossible. Losing my strength I resign to my fate of burning alive (Sorry Bai, Rong it seems like I can't see you grow and protect you. I'll pray in the afterlife for your well being).

With a last effort I turn to look at my children through the glass only to see the shocked face of Rongrong. Suddenly there's an explosion and through the smoke I can see my Bai running to me with his spirit sword in his hands. (No! Stop! I don't wanna be the cause of your death. Feng! Bone! Sword! Stop him. You must live Bai!) I try to say but the only thing that cause is tears to fall my face that doesn't endure too much before evaporating due to the high temperature.

Suddenly, 9 bright colored lights come out of his sword that emerge in a black one. After 0.1 s a white light appears merging with the previous black forming a dark gray light. Bai jumps forward to me piercing through the flames. I look at Bai's eyes and can see his resolve, resolve to live, to protect not to die. Suddenly the power of the flames as if absorbed by Bai's sword decrease a little and Bai fall unconscious (Knowing how much you fight how mother give up. I will live for both you and Rong!).

Taking advantage of the moment of weakness of the flames I jump toward the wall moving away of Bai, breaking the wall flying out the mansion arriving to the garden. Then I return to a lotus position and continue absorbing the ring. (I'm not gonna lose to a dead plant, watch the power and determination of a mother!) Putting all my efforts in controlling the flames I recuperate its control just in time to them to return to the normal intensity. All this passing in 0,5 second.

After having in control the fire,without any more mental consciousness of the Lily and the last permit of absorbing by the Lily, in contrast of before,I easily finish to absorb the ring.

After some time, I finally open my eyes and stand up. Sensing the power surge of my body I know that I am now a titled douluo Sword Volcano Douluo. (This is not important, I must find how is Bai).

I run to the previous room and see Feng and Maya {One of the clan members having blue blood strawberry flower as a spirit, a spirit specialized in heal} healing Bai.

I very worried ask them "How is little Bai?". Maya without turning to see me or pausing her spirit ability says "He has burns all around the body, I only can say that it's a miracle that he's alive, we must maintain the constant healing to preserve his life". I fall to my knees crying "It's all my fall, if only I absorbed I 10.000 years ring, anything of this will happen and Bai will be alright".

Suddenly someone holds my shoulder, turning a see Chen Xin that says "Don't be to pessimistic, Bai is strong child and surely he will withstand, there's always hope when there's life".

"Where's Rongrong, is she ok?"I said frightened. "She only fell unconscious due to the shock we had Bone take her to her room and is resting there" Answer Chen Xin. "I will stay with Bai until it improve and I bow to the heavens that if he dies I will follow so I pray with all my whole for his well being because it's all of my fault" I say causing the other people at the room to sigh exhausted.

I stayed in the same room as Bai while the clan healers are interchanging to maintain a constant healing for Bai until after 3 days Maya says "It's alright, he isn't death danger anymore but the damage at the body is very large and seems to have some effect in his spirit so it's impossible to estimate how much time needs to awaken so the best it will be to take to his room and carefully observe him for any change". I say "Thanks Maya I will stay with him until he wakes" {I changed the part of the maid of the last chapter, when writing I think it was better the part of the maid but thinking of mother love a think that even it is less impacting at reading it has more sense}.

I spent at Bai rooms always worried about his well being only eating and sleeping the minimum necessary until after 1 month he wakes up. Seeing Bai wake up I can't help to be happy and try not to cry (You wake up, mommy is so happy!). Then I run find the others to say the good news, taking Rong at my arms and returning to Bai's room.

When all the family arrive at Bai's room I don't know what I say, like in automode only thinking in the relive of seeing Bai awake and find. We finally leave Bai's room and a fall unconscious.

Later I am being waken by Feng saying "Bai wake up. You're ok? We must talk to Bai about all but maybe it's better to you to rest, you're very tired for no sleeping". I answer "No, I spent 1 month what is a few more time I will explain all to him".

We go to Bai's room and I can't help to smile when seeing him standing up and I say "To start you stayed unconscious 1 month and I will explain what happened that day. I was absorbing the ring when..."
