An Autumn Leaf

Bi De felt as if he had been trampled by Brother Chun Ke. Even after the Great Master’s ministrations, his body was protesting at every movement. He could not even perform his daily tasks, but the Great Master’s benevolence was limitless. He was bid to rest and recover, and praised for his defence of Fa Ram.

Even though it was his fault that it was in danger in the first place. He had been taken in by Chow Ji’s lies, and he was now shamed.

He sat upon the Great Pillars, but ...

ROUS

Unlike the rest of the people at the wedding, I didn’t have anybody besides Big D to take care of my house. I had known a dog back in the before that knew how to feed the other animals, and Big D was about as intelligent, and probably hopped up on qi. But he definitely wasn’t foolproof or a permanent solution.

While everybody else was going to be hanging out in Verdant Hill for the rest of the week generally getting drunk and having a good time, I had to go back home.

So first...

Cracked Moon

It was the third day since he had met Brother Chow Ji.

Bi De paused in his thoughts, and recentered himself. Why did he think that? Brother Chow Ji was indeed important, but to think of him before the Great Master? He was a disloyal disciple for doing such a thing. He would need to perform some sort of penance for this.

After he was finished in this stage of his cultivation, of course.

It was the seventh day since the Great Master had left.

Counting the Days

It had been four days since the Great Master had left.

Bi De once more rose from his nightly vigil, for he had numerous charges this day. The Blackfurs had slept in shifts over the night, with some awake and tending to the Spirit Furnace, and some asleep. Some were also digging shallow tunnels around the scaffolding, and their little heads poked out and sniffed the air, before retreating back into hiding.

Bi De once more swept off The Great Pillars, and once more provided for his ...

Commandment

Tingfeng and Meihua’s heads bowed three times towards the west.

Yao Che and Tingfeng’s father and grandfather bowed to each other.

And then it was done.

It had been several months in the making, this wedding. And now, Meiling’s best friend would be a two day journey away, instead of right next door.

Their parting would hurt, but she would endure it. She was happy that her friend was married to someone she actually liked. Tingfeng was a good man, and he would take...

Chapter 15: Side Quest

I wasn’t getting to sleep.

I tossed and turned on my bedroll, ill thoughts swirling through my mind.

That incident with the bear bothered me. I had talked to Meimei about the bear when she came to bid me goodnight, and she just said I was a lot stronger than it.

Jin Rou hadn’t been very strong. At least, he didn’t think he was very strong, and he got beaten up so badly he died. Strong enough to drive off weak spirit beasts, yeah, but it still should have been ...

Chapter 14: Winnie the Poo

We had made terrible time today. With the hangovers it was expected, really, and I didn’t mind. With the harvest in, I was in no rush, and this relaxed pace was nice too. I got to spend my tim talking to Meimei about medicine. It was a subject I wasn’t well versed in, but it was nice listening to her enthusiastic explanations.

It was actually one of the things the people here were strangely advanced in. Hell, she knew what germs were, and that threw me for a loop. Apparentl...
