Chapter 11 - 11. Awaken

Bibi Dong who was sitting in front of Xue Li became alert when she felt a spirit power inside Xue Li. Ye Lan and Xiao Yi are also surprised when they feel Xue Li's spirit power.

Bibi Dong: "(Did Xue-er awaken his martial soul forcely?! I must help him awaken his martial soul to prevent a backslash!)"

Bibi Dong starts the awaken ceremony immediately. Gui Mei and Yue Guan who understand Bibi Dong action, activate their spirit to make sure no one disturb the ceremony.

Meanwhile inside Xue Li's consciousness, he is greeted by a beautiful woman.

Woman: "*smile* Hello!"

Xue Li: "*confuse* Who are you? Where am I?"

Woman: "*cuckle* We are inside your mind. And I am one of your martial souls!"

Xue Li: "Really?! So I can become stronger now!"

Woman: "Of course you can but you need to calm down first and hear my explanation."

Xue Li: "Yes! *happy*"

Woman: "Xue-er, you have awoken two martial souls. Your martial souls are Heavenly Empress Sword and Heavenly Beast King!"

Xue Li: "So, it's sword and beast? *tilt his head*"

Woman: "*cough* Look at your right hand! You can see a sword mark, right? That is your Heavenly Empress Sword's spirit mark!"

Xue Li: "Ah, I see!"

Woman: "Now look at your left hand! You can also see a dog mark, right? That is your Heavenly Beast King's spirit mark!"

Xue Li: "It looks cool! So, what is a martial soul?"

Woman: "...(Do I need to explain from there?) *cough* You can ask your teacher later. Now, I will tell you about your martial soul power."

According to her, the Heavenly Empress Sword grants Xue Li's ability to create a sword. He even can change the sword shape and form in the future. The more interesting thing is Xue Li will change into a beautiful girl when he wants to bring out the Heavenly Empress Sword full power.

Woman: "When you change to girl form, remember to use it carefully! For safety, use it after you get permission from your teacher! Do you understand?"

Xue Li: "*sparkling eyes* Yes!"

Woman: "Oh, I almost forgot! The Heavenly Empress Sword also grants you power to use Ice and Lightning!"

The woman continues to explain about the Heavenly Beast King. This martial soul is the king of the beast who has an ability to devour everything. It can even devour poison and curse.

Woman: "You can understand its true power when your spirit rank increases in the future."

Xue Li: "Yes, I understand!"

Woman: "*smile* Good, now I will tell you the most important things!"

Xue Li: "Yes! *serious*"

Woman: "Look at your own chest now! Can you see a thread?"

Xue Li was surprised when check his own chest. There were many threads wriggling out from his chest. The woman was also surprised when she saw that Xue Li was holding many threads.

Xue Li: "It's so ugly! *pull the treads* Ah, it hurts!"

Woman: "Don't pull them out! And don't call them ugly!"

Xue Li: "What is it?"

Woman: "*sigh* They were called 'heart strings'. Don't try to pull out or cut them in the future! They connected with your heart and soul. You will die if those red threads are severed."

Xue Li: "I see.."

Woman: "It will be hard for you to understand it so just remember my words. Don't easily love someone or you will die by love! *serious face*"

Xue Li: "*confuse* Yes, I will remember it."

Woman: "And the last thing that I want you to remember is never tell anyone about your martial soul. Just tell them that your martial soul is Snow Sword and Black Dog! Do you understand?"

Xue Li; "*confuse* Why?"

Woman: "Because their true name is too long, right? Also Snow Sword and Black Dog are easier to remember, right? *smile*"

Xue Li: "I see! You are right!"

Woman: "*smile* Good! Now before you leave, come here and hug me!"

Xue Li hugged the woman without hesitation. Although it was the first time he met her, Xue Li felt something familiar between them.

The woman pat Xue Li's head before sending his consciousness back. After Xue Li left, a small wolf came out.

Wolf: "Why didn't you tell him about our identity?"

Woman: "*angry* It's because you let him awaken his martial soul too early! He is still a baby!"

Wolf: "Ca-calm down, Yue-er! You know that puppy's grow quickly, right? I th-"

Woman: "Don't call my son puppy!"

Wolf: "(But he is my son too..) Sorry.. But at least you can tell him our names. So he can find out by himself later."

Woman: "*sigh* It's okay if he knows me, because I, Qiuyue, was the most beautiful goddess. But how about if he found out about you, my cute husband?"

Wolf: "... (But I was the strongest guardian and Heavenly Beast King, Tian Ming.. I really want to boast about my god title to my puppy.. *sigh*)"

Woman: "Don't worry, he will understand when he grows up! After all he already knew that he inherited a beast god body and goddess beauty."

Wolf: "But you didn't tell him about his 'body', right?"

Woman: "*surprised* Ah, I forgot!"

Wolf: "(*sigh* Your clumsiness still hasn't changed.) I already licked him before so god won't discover him. I am more worried about his 'Alpha' ability.."

Woman: "*confuse* Alpha? What is that?"

Wolf: "(Oh, crap!) Yo-you know that I was a beast god king, right? As a beast god king, I have an aura that makes every beast acknowledge me as their absolute king. This aura is called 'Alpha'. I let my son inherit my body, so of course he also has 'Alpha' ability."

Woman: "I see.. Then why didn't you tell me before? We have already been married for more than 300 hundred years, right? *smile*"

Wolf: "It's only working on a beast, so I forgot to tell you.. *low voice* Wa-wait, please stop it! It's my fault, but let's talk- *howling*"

Woman: "*sadistic smile* Fufu! A bad dog needs discipline.. *lick her lip* (So, that's the reason my son already has many red strings even if he is just a child. I hope that they are not a weak beast..)"

Unfortunately, they still don't know that 'Alpha' ability inside Xue Li has been mutated and become stronger because of their 'cross-marriage'.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong who is doing an awaken ceremony can feel that Xue Li's spirit has increased gradually and already broke level 10. She thinks that Xue Li was like Renxue who has full-innate power at 20.

Yue Guan, Gui Mei and the maids who watched them were also surprised and happy at the same time. The Spirit Hall's holy son not only has a 'goddess beauty', he is also a genius.

After waiting for around 5 minutes, Xue Li's spirit rank reached level 20 and her appearance changed drastically. His black short hair became long and his face became more mature. Xue Li's cute face changed to a handsome young boy. Xue Li's body also became a little bit 'masculine'.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Xue Li's appearance and thought that it was Xue Li's martial soul effect except for Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong: "*surprise* (This is not a martial soul! So, Xue-er is really a beast!)"

Actually Bibi Dong felt that Xue Li was not a 'normal' kid when Yue Guan brought him. His red eyes and vicious behavior was not normal. She became more sure that Xue Li was not human after he heard Yue Guan's story. A weak human would never be able to live safely in Star Duo forest without getting attacked by a beast.

Bibi Dong guessed that Xue Li was a 'half beast at first'. But she didn't care about Xue Li's origin and decided to not investigate it. But today, she was regretting her action.

Bibi Dong: "*grit her teeth* (If I know it, I won't let anyone attend Xue-er's ceremony! Bibi Dong, you are such a fool!) Ye Lan, bring everyone out from my palace now! Don't let anyone enter my palace until I call you!"

Ye Lan: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bibi Dong: "Gui Mei, Yue Guan, use your spirit to cover my palace! Don't let anyone feel Xue Li's spirit!"

Gui Mei, Yue Guan: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
