Chapter 12: Five Petal Yang Flower (1/2)

Swish!

'Crap!'

Lin Xiao swung his right hand and stabbed it towards the mountain. The short sword that he was holding was embedded deeply into the rock as his body slammed heavily onto the rocky wall before him.

Thunk!

'Hurts….'

Even though he couldn't tell whether he was wounded or not, Lin Xiao knew that he had to hurry and go down soon. If he dared to linger in this place any longer, he believed that this place would soon become his grave.

'Calm down.'

Swinging his body, Lin Xiao fixed his legs position and slowly pulled out his small sword and began to climb down the mountain once more. His back was filled with sweat, yet he didn't dare to linger here any longer in fear that he might die for real if he dared to stay here any longer.

Step by step, Lin Xiao descended the mountain.

The journey that was usually so easy became difficult when one of his hand was restricted. This was the first time Lin Xiao ever encountered a previous flower like this. Due to the limitation of his own physique and rank, Lin Xiao had never dared to attempt climbing further in the past.

Tep.

By the time he reaching the ground, Lin Xiao was so relieved. The seconds felt like hours when he was descending.

'Hehe, this might be Yang type flower. If it's true, it might be able to help my brother.'

Turning his body around, Lin Xiao rushed back home with his left hand still holding onto the fiery red flower. It didn't take long for Lin Xiao to reach back home even with the sun hadn't set completely in the horizon.

”Yun!”

”Brother?” Lin Yun peeked out from the window. He had just finished cooking, so he put down the bowl in his hand when he saw his brother came in. ”What happened? It's rare to see you so happy, Brother.”

”I found a valuable herb,” Lin Xiao said proudly while showing the flower that he was holding. The dirt had already dirtied his left hand and some of them fell on his way here. It caused his left hand to turn red due to the heat that the flower gave out.

”That's Five Petal Yang Flower!” Lin Yun said with a surprise.

Thud!

They heard the sound of something fell and turned their head to look at Lin Xiao's bedroom. Wenren Yun scampered out when he heard the name of the flower. Even though he was injured, he had completely forgotten about it the moment he heard the flower's name.

Looking at the flower in Lin Xiao's hand and the scalding red color of Lin Xiao's left hand, his face flushed red in excitement.

”It's really Five Petal Yang Flower! Quick, you should put it down and tend it properly if you don't want your hand to burn!”

”Ah, I'll bring the pot out.”

There were several unused plant's pot inside their home. Most of the herbs were already used up by Lin Yun since it was needed. There were only a few of the herbs left that Lin Yun still tended every day carefully.
