"Greetings Doctor Yun Fei! I would like to apologize first for my actions. I did not mean to fool any of you. It's just that I was also shocked with the sudden changes in my body. I pretended to faint because I wanted to verify myself if everything is real or not. It is not my intention to make everyone worry. " Yizhi said in an apologetic tone of voice.

Yun Fei stared at his patient with sympathy in his eyes. Jing Ying was only 16 yrs. old. It was just normal for teens in this age to be impulsive and be easily confused.

"You don't have to apologize, Doctor Yun Fei understands. Anyway, you better rest now. I will not disturb you anymore. Don't also forget to drink the elixir, okay? "

Doctor Yun stood up and walked to the door. He was about to leave when he remembered something important. His cheeks blushed for a moment.

"Little Ying, please do me a favor. Forget that I have asked about your Aunt Mei Fang. In return I will also forget about your pretense earlier. Thank you."

Doctor Yun Fei then gently closed the door. Finally leaving Ying alone or not in her room.

"Whew! Alas, I can freely move." Ying happily said as she stretched her arms.

"Since everything has settled down, it's time to deal with these two freeloaders!" Ying said in a loud voice, pointing to the twins.

"Y-you can see us?"

"C-can you really see us, master? "

The twins looked shocked at the same time excitement can be seen in their eyes.

"Of course. I can see and hear you guys! Your names are Shao and Shylala, right?"

Shylala looked happy and pleased about this progress, however Shao who was just badmouthing Ying moments ago looked pale and nervous.

"W-when did you start seeing and hearing us? " Eventhough he was scared Shao still managed to asked Ying a question.

"Not too long ago. Hmmm You know Shao, you looked like you just saw a ghost. Why do you look scared? " Ying asked as she smirked at Shao.

"Are you scared that I will get back at you because you badmouthed me? "

Ying raised her right eyebrow without taking her eyes off Shao.

Shao immediately fell down on his knees and kowtowed hard that his forehead became red from hitting the floor of Jing Ying's room.

"Whoa! What are you doing Shao? Stand up! I'm just teasing you... You don't have to kowtow... A simple sorry will do..." Yizhi said while smiling and patting Shao's head.

Shao stood up and said,

"I am really sorry for being rude, Master."

Yizhi chuckled before saying her thoughts.

"From now on let's try to get along well... Hmmm can you guys tell me more about yourselves and your realm? Oh! Can you also please enlighten me about this blood curse? "

The twins stared at each other in awe. Actually, they were already prepared for the worst scenario. Inside their heads, multiple scenes of Jing Ying getting mad at them have already played many times. They were also expecting her to kick them out from the manor. However, it seemed like they were just worried over nothing. They misjudged Jing Ying. Well, she was in fact a very kind person.

"Guys? Are my questions too difficult to answer? I believe you both were itching to return home, right?"

After hearing Yizhi's voice again. the twins snapped back to the present situation. Shylala took the initiative to answer the questions.

"Ah! Sorry for spacing out Master. We thought that you will get mad at us and will not be interested to cooperate since we stole your spirit energy. What's happening now is the complete opposite of what we have imagined. Anyway, please allow me to answer your questions, Master. We are the Shibata Twins of the Grand Skyline Empire. I am Shibata Shylala and my twin brother is Shibata Shao. Our Shibata family is known for being the royal buki. We have an oath to protect and serve the King and his family."

Yizhi furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing the word buki. Shao noticed her facial expression right away.

"What's the matter Master?" Shao asked in a worried tone.

"I'm just wondering about what a royal buki is... I never encountered that word before. " Yizhi answered truthfully.

"Royal bukis are weapons used by the royal bloods of the empire. Our family was chosen because of our high compatibility rate with the royal bloodline." Shylala answered confidently.

"Huh? If I understood it correctly, you guys are the weapons of the royal family in your realm? You are weapons not weapon makers right? "

Yizhi was astonished yet she still managed to open her mouth to clarify things.

"You are right Master. We are weapons."
