Chapter 3 - The Mysterious Man’s Present (2/2)
Ming WuYan looked at her empty hand and then at the two pitiful cubs who kept stumbling down. Her heart couldn’t bear it so she prepared to find another knife.
She took a step before the Iceberg handed her a small dagger. “Use this one.”
Ming WuYan took the dagger and compared it to the body of the cub. The dagger was too small.
The she brightened and asked the Iceberg, “Can I borrow the string on your Qin?”
The Iceberg was confused but still nodded, “Okay.”
With his agreement, she took the dagger and cut off two Qin strings with a “deng deng” sound. The Iceberg stared stupidly.
This was the ancient treasure, YaoFeng Qin ah! And it was the birthday present for his senior martial brother.
Ming WuYan didn’t notice the Iceberg’s facial expressions. She touched the bodies of the lions and nodded satisfactorily. She poured a little black water where the cubs were connected. Then she picked up the Qin strings and quick as lightning, cut the lions and separated them. The cubs were in pain so she immediately poured the black water over them.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds and the two cubs were separated. Not a drop of blood was spilt. And looking at the jubilation of the two lions, they were not traumatized. The Iceberg’s face showed surprise.
He steadily looked at Ming WuYan and a trace of gentle warmth appeared in his heart. He started to say something but saw the old doctor returning so he took a jade token out and gave it to Ming WuYan. “This is for you.”
He picked up one spirit lion cub and told her, “This other clumsy baby is for you. As is the dagger.” After he finished speaking, a sword appeared out of thin air by the man’s feet. It disappeared with the handsome man together.
Doctor Jing saw this scene and after a day’s reaction finally said, “So he’s from the Yutian Academy. No wonder he had such high quality spirit pets.”
He then saw that Ming WuYan was holding a Yutian Token and laughed happily. “WuYan, you’re really blessed by the Heavens ah! He actually gave you the Token that gold can’t buy. Now you can go study at the Yutian Academy.”
Doctor Jing excitedly spoke. But Ming WuYan already stopped listening. She wondered who the masked iceberg-like man was. Why did he give her the Yutian Token and spirit pet? Was it only really to thank her?
