798 Breathe Out A Fallen Star (1/2)
Ji Lingxi was dazed for a moment before she quickly arrived at a semblance of comprehension. Still, she forced a smile as she answered, ”Sister Lingxiu is gentle in temperament but determined in character. She's a warrior. She is made of ice when facing the enemy, but demure with her loved ones. Any man would be attracted to her. Yes, I am jealous, but more than that, I am happy.”
”Sincerely?” Aunt Mei asked staring at her
”Sincerely!” Ji Lingxi answered earnestly.
The lady was dazed, pondering for a moment before commenting in a low voice, ”Not bad, you're really not bad at all.”
Ji Lingxi smiled and said, ”Actually, we have seen Sister Lingxiu's worry during this time and we feel anxious as well. However, the matter of individual foundation isn't something that can be resolved with urgency. We're unable to rectify it, even when we wanted to. After all, the intended results can hardly be reached in a short time, no matter we pile it up with heaven and earth resources or construct a fantastic cultivation environment. Now that Sister Lingxiu is under the tutelage of Aunt Mei, this shortcoming can be overcome in the shortest time possible. We can only be happy for her.”
”This is true. Even when her basics are weak, I have ways to fulfill it for her when she's my disciple. What follows is but the adaptative process of the state of mind from ordeals and experiences. Maybe, a long time later in the future, Lingxiu's cultivation base will be higher than the both of yours,” Aunt Mei said, nodding after making a humming sound in her throat.
Ji Lingxi asked hopefully, ”Aunt Mei, your prowess is legendary, your cultivation base even more so. I wonder how is it compared to the First Master of the Ninth Abyss.”
The corners of Aunt Mei's lips twitched subconsciously as she answered, ”That First Master of the Ninth Abyss… My cultivation base is already quite extraordinary, but to fight him head-on, there's a substantial gap between our skills. I'm never one to put myself down, but the reality is such.”
”The First Master you mentioned earlier… blowing the stars and moon in a breath… the force is unimaginable…” said Ji Lingxi worriedly.
Aunt Mei nodded and said, ”This is not all to his mastery. Perhaps, I should say that if this is all to his mastery, I wouldn't have been so worried… Actually, the so-called blowing off stars and moon is more or less like this.”
As she spoke, her arm waved about as she cried out, ”Flip day and night!”
Then, Ji Lingxi saw the sun that was hanging in the sky set in a hurry before a round moon appeared in its place, surrounded by twinkling stars.
The swift change, day turning so quickly into night, had taken place at the behest of the lady's words!
The entire Tiantang City was in utter chaos at the sudden and unexpected phenomenon.
Ji Lingxi was dumbstruck as she murmured, ”This is the upturning of the sun and moon – the reversal of the stars?”
Aunt Mei chuckled. ”You're limited by your experience now. You think too naively. What I've done is just to illustrate more clearly what it means to blow the stars away…”
She took a pause and pointed to a certain place, saying, ”Do you see it, a rather dull star beside the moon?”
”Yes, what is that…” Ji Lingxi's eyes followed the finger as she asked.
Aunt Mei was still as gentle as she answered, ”This is what blowing the star away looks like.”
Then, she pursed her lips and blew.
A ray of white light shot out and vanished. Within heartbeats, Ji Lingxi could see the dull star suddenly explode in the nightfall, becoming a shower of light in the sky.
A dazzling meteor shower appeared in the vast sky.
