10 The One With Two Faces (1/2)

Xin Fan jumped out the window to see Chilong all alone. There was not a trace of any other existence around him. Just Chilong and his axe. Chilong did take notice of Xin Fan right behind him and simply continued the conversation with himself.

”When you return, let me take over... At least I know when to fight.”

”But everyone will think we are a pushover.”

”Might is right. They will simply avoid us.”

”Umm, Who are you talking to?”

Xin Fan spoke surprising Chilong in the process. Chilong looked flustered and turned around. Finding out it was just Xin Fan, he recomposed himself.

”What do you want...Xi San?”

”My name is Xin Fan.”

”Whatever...I'm simply chopping down trees.”

He then rushed up to Xin Fan and grabbed him by the collar as if he were threatening him.

”Don't you dare tell anyone what you saw...Or else you will end up like the piece of trash from the other day. Hehehe...”

Xin Fan did not even flinch and grabbed Chilong's wrist and pulled it off him. He simply gave Chilong a smile and shook his head.

”I don't plan to. I simply wish to have a peaceful time here. To find peace, don't...Gng”

Xin Fan felt a stabbing pain in his head. It was a lot more painful than before and knocked him down to his knees. The pain rivaled getting stung by a powerful wasp.

”Yo...are you okay?”

Chilong looked worriedly as he helped Xin Fan up. He lent his shoulder as he guided Xin Fan into their room.

”Tch...didn't you always say I shouldn't meddle into others business?”

Chilong laid Xin Fan onto the bed and looked around in his bag. He took out a bottle containing a green paste and smeared it over Xin Fan's forehead. The pain seemed to recede and Chilong gave a sigh of relief. At this point, Xin Fan fell unconscious and was sleeping silently.

”I guess you are right for once.”

Xin Fan slept silently while having dreams of another life. It was the story of a boy who one day grew up to become a priest. As the dream continued, system messages started to arise.

[ Soul fragmentation is at 10%. Advises to train in a Soul technique.]

The message kept over and over until the dream was over. When Xin Fan woke up, he could no longer remember the contents of the dream and everything became a vague memory. Everything except the system message.

*gururu*

Xin Fan's stomach grumbled as he had looked outside to see pitch darkness. The candles were out and he had not even eaten any dinner. Xin Fan climbed out of his bed and slowly made his way to the dining area. Although the building was old, the floorboards did not make a noise as he trudged along. The dining area seemed empty and there seems to be no leftover food. Xin Fan sighed and slowly made his way outside a short distance away from the dorm. I guess I have no choice. Xin Fan took out a small stove and a pot from his inventory. The wind outside was cool, perfect to complement the Ice Heart Rice. Xin Fan started the stove and poured water into the pot. He then added the same amount of rice and closed the lid. Now he only had 3 portions of rice left from his initial 10. He closed his eyes and entered his domain only to be bombarded with a bunch of system messages.
