8 Too much of a coincidence (1/2)
The tension in the room was suffocating. A beautiful, silver haired girl glared at a handsome, dark haired boy. The boy had a creepy smile on his face as he looked at the girl.
”Cat got your tongue?” Sneers Yi Lan rubbing her nose.
”I don't think so.” replies the boy in a cool voice.
”Then do you need an invitation to speak?! Tell me where I am.” she speaks in a demanding tone.
A vein bulges in the Prince's head. Never in his eighteen years of life, had someone talked so rudely to him.
”This kingdom is called White Leopard kingdom. I am the Crown Prince. My name is Che Ling. You can call me Your Highness.”
”What world?”
”Pardon?”
”What world is this? Is it Earth?”
”Earth? No, this world is called Plutarch.” A somewhat curious look flits on his face as he wonders what kind of a world this 'Earth' was.
”Damn.” curses Yi Lan silently.
”Che Ling, bring me a mirror.” she demands.
Che Ling's eyes become dark in anger. Didn't he just tell her to call him Your Highness?! He calmed himself down. After all, this girl was a reincarnated one. She wasn't the Yi Meng from before. Sullenly, he walks to a drawer and pulls out a mirror from it.
He hands it over to Yi Lan, who was a bit hesitant to take it. With one eye closed, she peeps at her image, only to find something shocking.
”Wha-? I look almost the same as before.”She touches her face, examining each part.” Only my hair is now silver in colour, instead of blonde.”
She frowns. 'Isn't this too much of a coincidence.'
She places the mirror down and stares off into empty space.
A few minutes later, she was dragged into reality by an annoying person. ”What do you want?”
”I forgot to mention that this world uses the concept of Qi.”
”Qi? As in soul energy Qi?” Yi Lan furrows her eyebrows on the mention of the familiar term. She had watched a lot of movies, that talked about Qi and stuff, One of her favourites being Kung Fu Panda.
”You know about it?”
”I am barely familiar with it. So, how did the previous owner practice Qi?” Yi Lan asks, a little excited at the thought of fighting with Qi. Her dreams as a child of being a kung fu master may finally come true.
”You didn't. I mean, she didn't. More like, she couldn't.” The Prince was already tired of this girl and jusy wanted her to disappear.
”Why?”
”When we reach thirteen years of age, we are tested to see what level our Qi and physical strength is. On your chance, it was found that you were unable to retain Qi in your body.”
”You mean that I have Qi and stuff, but I'm unable to use it!? What kind of dog poop is that?” cursed Yi Lan, her dreams of being a kung fu master shattered.
”It is what it is.”
”What about my parents?” Yi Lan finally asks the question she wanted to ask the most.
