Rebirth: A Woman With Frozen Heart

The twins spent hours inside Tianshang De Kongjian. They really liked playing with the four beasts. Unlike the other three beasts, Qing Long was quite difficult to get along with but in a short time, he warmed up to Lin Shao and Lin Zhao.

When the four beasts turned to their human form, the excitement that the twins had reached it's peak. They took out their smartphone and made a group selfie a few times. The four beasts, on the other hand, didn't know a thing about modern world. They became noisy when they see their own pictures on the smartphone, saying something like part of their soul was s.u.c.k.e.d into it hence the reason they could see their figures inside the smartphone.

They finally calmed down when Ming Yue explained it to them that it was similar to drawing painting in ancient time. The only difference was the tools. Finally the four beasts asked Ming Yue to buy it for them which reminded her that she also needed one. The twins also promised to teach the four beasts on how to use their smartphone once they got one later.

"Wow! we're back in your room, Sister Yue!" Lin Shao exclaimed when they have returned from Tianshang De Kongjian.

"Yes, the place where we at before going to Heavenly Space, is the place where we will return after going back from it." Explained Ming Yue.

"And the time flow is really different, huh?" Lin Zhao looked at the clock on the table. "We spent so many hours but it only one hour and half in this world."

"I can imagine how much fun we will have when we spend the entire day in Heavenly Space." Lin Shao grinned with excitement.

"Now now, you can spend more time later. You both need to return to your room, otherwise Uncle Jian and Aunty Mei will search for you." Ming Yue warned them with a smile.

"Okay! See you tomorrow, Sister Yue!" Lin Shao bid Ming Yue farewell while Lin Zhao waved hands with a smile on her face. Both of them left the guest room.

Ming Yue locked the door before sitting on the bed. Bai Hu jumped to the bed and sat next to her. "Quite the noisy mortals they are." He commented.

Ming Yue chuckled, "Indeed they are."

"Master, why did you bring them to Tianshang De Kongjian?" asked Bai Hu.

Ming Yue pursed her lips, "I don't know myself but, I kinda like them. I am s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to negative emotion others have to me. Even if they don't say anything rude, they can't conceal it either."

"Those twins, when they saw me the first time, they don't have Judgement in their eyes. Even when they knew rumors about me being abandoned and cursed child, they don't have any sinister feelings." Ming Yue chuckled softly, "They're probably one of those rare humans with pure hearts. Grandpa Wu have wonderful family, it's a blessing from heaven."

"That's right, even though they are noisy but they are not bad as mortals." Bai Hu agreed, his cat eyes softened.

"Let's go back home." Ming Yue stood up and the scenery changed. She was in front of the Moon Palace and the three beasts welcomed her in human form.

"Welcome home, Master." Zhu Que greeted her. "Do you want to retire early?"

"No. Zhu Que, I want to train martial art and art of sword. I can't depend on you all forever, there might be times when I have to defend myself. Bai Hu can't use his power freely in public." Ming Yue said,

The three beasts chuckled hearing Ming Yue's words. Ming Yue threw puzzled look at them.

"That's what we want to suggest, Master." Xuan Wu said with a warm smile.

"Yes. Although we are confident in our power to protect you but releasing it in mortal realm might attract unwanted attention. We can't risk your safety since you haven't started your cultivation." Qing Long added.

"Since you already spoke, let us start right away. Please come with me to the Crescent Chamber, My Lady." Zhu Que and both of them walked ahead, entering the Moon Palace, headed toward Crescent Chamber.

Ming Yue knew there was a room called Crescent Chamber but she had not entered yet. It turned out, inside there was an altar with sword floating at the center of it. In front of the altar there was small granite desk and thick scroll on too of it.

Ming Yue entered the chamber, walked along the path that had small stone pillars on each sides and blue flames floating on top of it.

"That is.." Ming Yue stared at the floating sword with frown on her face. Her breathing became slightly heavy. Why? Why she had the urge to cry? Ming Yue didn't know the reason why her heart ached for no reason.

"That is your sword, Silver Moon." Zhu Que answered, took the scroll off the granite desk and presented it to Ming Yue.

"This is a Jianshu scroll. Inside is the legendary sword art that has been lost for thousand years. It's called Yueliang Hua. The meaning is 'Moon Flower Dance'."

(A/N : Jianshu means Sword play or Sword art)

Ming Yue took the scroll off Zhu Que's hand and opened it but what she saw was blank page. She raised a brow, "There is nothing in it."

Zhu Que smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt, "Because it is hidden. Drop a single blood of yours, My Lady and you can see it. Only the real owner of Tianshang De Kongjian can read the scroll of Yueliang Hua."

"Allow me, My Lady." Xuan Wu took out a silver needle out of nowhere and pricked her finger.

Ming Yue dropped a single blood on the scroll page and it disappeared. Soon pictures and words appeared on it, it made Ming Yue gaped on how fantastic this scroll was.

Ming Yue lifted her head, gazing at the sword. "About the sword.. don't tell me that it's a sword that chooses its master." she made a guess.

"Why don't you step forward and see for yourself." Zhu Que answered with a smile full of mystery.

Staring at Zhu Que with dubious look, Ming Yue stepped forward. The moment she moved closer to the sword, it started to glow. Ming Yue paused her step for a short while before braving herself to walk closer to the altar. Her hand was lifted and the moment she grabbed the handle, it shone brightly.

Then a voice echoed in her mind, a cute voice of a little girl.

"This soul.. MASTEEEEERR!!" Silver Moon cried, "FINALLY, FINALLY YOU HAVE RETURNED!!"

"Wait.." Ming Yue tried to say that she was too loud but the sword kept on crying.

"I AM SOOOOO LONELY!! SOOOO LONELY!! MASTEEEEEERR~!!"

"Look--"

"MY HEART ALMOST SHRIVELED LIKE THAT OLD MAID BIRD~~!!!!"

A vein popped on Zhu Que's head while the other three male beasts tried their best not to show any expression nor laughter.

"Stop--"

"I WAS WAITING AND WAITING BUT MASTER NEVER CAAAAMMEE~~!!!"

"Please--"

"HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN, MASTEEEERR~!!! YOU DON'T LIKE LITTLE YIN (SILVER) ANYMORE? YOU DON'T WANT LITTLE YIN ANYMORE? DO YOU PREFER LITTLE YIN BE GONE SO YOU CAN PLAY WITH HOT STUDS?"

Ming Yue rubbed her forehead with her other hand as she let Silver Moon kept on bawling, but the more she heard Silver Moon's words the more she stared the sword in disbelief. What's with this drama queen act? Was this really a sword?

"Stop crying, you shameless sword!!" Zhu Que finally snapped and Silver Moon retorted,

"Who you called 'Shameless', you old bird! Isn't it better for you to have a taste of men once?" Silver Moon said and even though Ming Yue didn't see a face, from the tone alone she could tell that Silver Moon was sneering.

"You..!"

"Okay, enough. Little Yin, I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not your original master. I am the current master but still I apologize for making you wait so long." Ming Yue cut in the middle of their 'improper' arguments before anymore could be said.

"Original master? Current master?" Silver Moon's tone filled with confusion. The four beasts became tense and Zhu Que spoke to Silver Moon.

"Yin, I will explain it to you later."

Silver Moon sensed the tension in Zhu Que's tone, she decided to play along. "Okay then~"

Then the tense atmosphere broken by Silver Moon's next words, "So Master, let's search some hot studs right away!!"

Ming Yue could only sighed as she shook her head in resignation. Looks like her home would become noisier.
