Rebirth: A Woman With Frozen Heart

The school lesson went well despite having an incident early in the morning. Ming Yue spent her time quite peacefully even though she had to ignore all eyes that were directed at her. Well it couldn't be help since she made quite a show early in the morning.

When the school break came, Ming Yue stood up after the teacher left the classroom. As she headed to the cafeteria, she felt heated gazes directed at her. Frowning slightly, Ming Yue contemplated whether she had to search for the source of these heated gazes or not. Standing at the hallway by herself while students passed her by here and there, she inhaled an air softly before continuing her steps. Since there was no malice in the gazes, Ming Yue decided to ignore it.

The cafeteria was bustling with students, just like usual. Ming Yue was getting in the line, thinking of what food she would buy. She decided to buy a noodle, sandwich and milk, due to becoming a cultivator, Ming Yue felt that her appetite increased slowly. Carrying the tray, she walked to the corner of the cafeteria where students rarely sat there. Ming Yue was about to feast the food in front of her when she noticed three figures stopped in front of her table.

"Um.. May we sit here?" A voice of a girl spoke in timid tone.

Looking up, Ming Yue saw one girl and two guys stood in front of her, staring at her with hopeful gaze yet there was uneasiness in it. Now Ming Yue realized from whom the heated gazes from, obviously it came from these three.

"Sure." Ming Yue answered nonchalantly, starting to dig in the noodle before it got cold. The three people kept staring at Ming Yue as she enjoyed her food. Their stares could burn many holes on her face, at first Ming Yue tried to ignore them but who could ignored such heated stares right on their face like that?

"Do you need something?" Ming Yue who couldn't take it being stared so intensely anymore, finally lost her patience and asked them.

"Ah.. no.. It's umm.." The girl seemed to notice Ming Yue's impatience thus she was fl.u.s.tered.

"We respect you!" One of the two guys suddenly spoke, Ming Yue was caught off guard and replied in a foolish way.

"Huh?"

"You stupid!" The other guy who was wearing glasses slapped the back of the other guy's head for his foolish announcement. "Don't just say something like that out of the blue! Look! Our idol is confused now!"

"Idol?" Ming Yue asked, clearly confused. Since when she had become an idol to someone?

"Ah, the truth is.. the incident this morning left deep impression in our hearts!" The glasses guy started to explain. Looking at his black hair that had proper clean cut like a typical book worm feeling, Ming Yue frowned slightly as she met the glasses guy's gaze.

"Deep impression?"

"Yeah! We respect you because just like the you before, we are just a bunch of nobodies!" The other guy with slightly messy dark brown hair chimed in. "And now you have become so strong and confident!"

"S-So we idolize you! W-We want to be strong and confident, just like you!" The girl with long black hair that reached to upper back joined in.

Ming Yue was taken aback by their heated words, seeing those eyes that shone so brightly like a lighthouse, she didn't see any pretense nor malice in it. These three people genuinely idolized her. The corner of her lips slightly turned upward and her cold, indifferent eyes warmed.

"I see. Thank you, for respecting me." Ming Yue said, "as for being strong and confident, anyone can be one if they want it. All it takes is the determination and will to do it."

"S-So.. can we.. be friends with you?" asked the girl timidly.

Ming Yue chuckled softly and nodded, "Mm, we can be friends. My name is Ming Yue as you already knew."

"I am Li Yu Wang!" The guy with messy hair said, "You can call me, Yu Wang! Can I call you Yue Yue~?" He asked and received another slap on the back of his head from the glasses guy.

"Call her leader!" The glasses guy said and turned his gaze to meet Ming Yue's "My name is Zhe Mu Chen, p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you leader." He said with a composed smile.

"A-Ah.. I.. um.. My name is Sui Ming Ran..." The girl timidly introduced herself, a soft smile was on her face, making her look timid.

"P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you all and you don't have to call me leader." She said, feeling amused by their behaviors.

"No! we can't do that!" Mu Chen said, "We call you leader because you are our leader among the four of us now. Please teach us to be as strong as you, leader!" Mu Chen lifted his hands, glued both palms in front of her.

"Please!" both Yu Wang and Ming Ran followed Mu Chen's action.

Seeing how they earnestly wanted to strong, Ming Yue recalled her d.e.s.i.r.e at the first time she discovered Tianshang De Kongjian. She wanted to live for herself, she wanted to break free, she wanted to taste what it was like to truly live. For that she needed strength and these people wanted to break free as well.

Breaking free from their past selves...

To believe in their selves..

Thus they needed courage and strength...

"Okay, I will teach and train you to be strong." Ming Yue finally said after mulling it over, "But in return, you can't betray me.. EVER.." She added with a warning gaze.

"I only need.. your loyalties. Be loyal to me and I,Ming Yue, will not abandon you even in toughest time." Ming Yue offered her hand, "Deal?"

The three of them looked at each other before putting their hand on top of Ming Yue's palm, together they vowed "Deal! we swear our loyalties to you!"

At this time, Ming Yue didn't realize the wheel of fate that had frozen for thousand years, began to move slowly. The moment, the three mortals swore their loyalties to her, that was the start of Chang'e's power to manifest and grew.

The Goddess of Moon, Chang'e..

According to legends passed on in all realm, her power was associated with courage, power and fertility..

People called upon her for courage and to break free, to grow strong, to have the power to believe in one self and to start a new life while learning from their pasts...

That was the reason why Chang'e was d.e.s.i.r.ed, adored and love by many..
