2 Do You Want to be a Cultivator? (1/2)

Yu Chang's eyes fluttered open sluggishly. He vaguely recalled a wonderful dream of a pair of stunningly beautiful legs wrapping around his body, Glancing around, he realized he had no idea where he was. He was in an unfamiliar bed in a dark room. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, his gaze fell upon a pair of legs he recognized. They were precisely the pair of perfect legs he had just dreamed about. Following the pair of legs that were casually stretched out on the couch, he saw something that was almost too perfect. The lovely face of the woman who owned that pair of legs, drool had oozed out of her mouth in her sleep with her head propped up on the armrest of the couch. The real shocker was he recognized the face. In fact, anyone who hadn't been in seclusion for the last 25 years or so would. The face belonged to the super cultivation genius, the level eight Falling Star. She had never joined a sect, or taken a disciple, though the lines for both could wrap around the world a couple times over. Even still, she had reached level eight before her 25th year. She was much different than the anomaly known as Yu Chang, who at the age of 18 still hadn't broken into level one.

”What is lady Falling Star doing here?”

Just then Falling Star woke up, rubbing her eyes. ”Ah! Little Yu is awake?”

”You know who I am lady Falling Star?”

”Eh he he,” Falling Star laughed. ”I had to get your id when I checked you into the hospital.”

Cold sweat dripped down Yu Chang's face… ”Why am I in the hospital?” He had to force the words out in his nervousness.

”There was a mishap a few days ago… I may have accidentally crushed you while going shopping. Don't fret though! Your body has fully recovered!” Falling Star gave him a cheesy thumbs up that looked even sillier considering that she hadn't wiped away the drool on her face yet.

”Well, at least I recovered,” Yu Chang chuckled nervously. ”By the way, you may want to wipe your mouth…”

”Eh?” Falling Star touched her mouth and immediately turned bright crimson. Scrubbing her mouth and chin furiously with the back of her hand, she glared at Yu Chang. ”You will delete that from your memory, or I may have to just crush you again.”

If you don't seek death you won't die. These words sprang up unbidden in Yu Chang's head. ”Done! I've already forgotten, no need to crush me!” Yu Chang stumbled on the words as he pushed them out as fast as he could.

”Good! Speaking of secrets, your's is safe. Unless you want others to know, nobody besides myself and those who examined you knows.”

”My… secret?” Yu Chang asked confused.

”Your ordinary situation,” Falling Start retorted while emphasizing the word ordinary.

”Ah ha ha,” Yu Chang laughed hollowly. ”Busted, huh?”

”Yep,” Falling Star said and stuck her tongue out at him. ”Right, now on to serious matters. You're probably wondering why I bothered to stay here for the last few days waiting for you to wake up.”

”I mean the thought did cross my mind…”

”I have a question to ask you. Do you want to be a cultivator?”

The two just stared at each other for a long time after she finished.
