Training Again. A New Water Contract

"Isn't it enough for today?" Yu Bin said, but seeing that Xian Chen made a sad face, she kissed him on the cheek and then started walking in front of him, holding her hands behind her back and smiling.

Smiling behind her, Xian Chen caught up with her and hugged her, then unsheathing his sword, he took her in his arms and then fled towards their destination.

Upon arriving there, Yu Bin was amazed by that place. The crystal clear sea was in front of them and the sand was white as snow. behind them were several trees with pink leaves that emitted a pleasant smell into the air around them.

"I wish we could stay here forever." Yu Bin said smiling, looking around them.

"I promise I'll bring you here as many times as you want," Xian Chen answered, hugging her from behind.

"Yu Bin, I think you already know why I brought you here"

"Because of the water.." Yu Bin answered in awe at the sea in front of her.

"Yes, that day when we were attacked by zombies and Lonwei appeared to destroy a large part of the forest, you used water to protect us. That means you still have spiritual strength in you. We need to focus on your spiritual growth and the water contract. For that, you will have to enter the water and form a new contract. Your body and your spiritual energy are no longer the same as in the past, therefore a new water contract is necessary. Don't worry if it will be more difficult because we are not in the land of water, I still trust you that you will be able to do it" Xian Chen said, putting his hands on her shoulders and assuring her that everything will be fine.

After the discussion with Xian Chen, Yu Bin set off for the sea, going under the water with confidence, but after not even a minute she came to the surface feeling that she had no more air.

"What happened?" Xian Chen asked her worriedly when he saw that she was breathing uncontrollably as if trying to get as much air into her lungs as possible.

"I can't breathe underwater," Yu Bin shouted in panic, almost crying.

"Don't stress, it's normal, you were reborn as a human so it's normal. I can't breathe underwater and neither can the master. The only one who can is the one who has a contract with water. Yu Bin, when you go back under the water, don't focus on the fact that you have to breathe. Focus on the spiritual energy you have within you. Visualize the meridians through which the spiritual energy flows and open each meridian point. Let the water recognize your spiritual strength and you will see that you will be able to recover and conclude a water contract in the shortest possible time."

Listening to the encouraging words spoken by Xian Chen, she went back under the water, focusing on each meridian point, unblocking it, and letting the water recognize the spiritual force it had. Opening her eyes, she noticed that a wall of water had formed around her. Now she could breathe easily. Sitting down, she brought her palms together and after making a few signs, she began the cultivation process by attracting the white spiritual energy and feeling her body getting lighter and lighter.

Seeing that Yu Bin did not return to the surface, Xian Chen panicked for a moment and entered the water. Going down under the water he saw her standing down, a strong warm light around her. Yu Bin had managed to make a contract with water, all that was left was to be trained. Yu Bin was not a weak person from any point of view but if she is going to fight Ming Fang who is immortal then yes it is a big problem at this moment.

Coming out of the water, Yu Bin found Xian Chen asleep, leaning against a tree, some flower petals had fallen on his head and shoulders. She walked in front of him and bending down she picked some petals that had made their way into his hair, a sign that Xian Chen had been sleeping for some time, and smiled tenderly. Since her golden core was quite weak, Yu Bin decided to stay underwater for a longer time to cultivate as much spiritual energy as possible and forgot the notion of time. It started to get dark, which means that she stayed in the water all day and Xian Chen waited for her all this time.

"You came…" Xian Chen asked softly. Because he slept leaning on that tree, he felt a slight pain in his back, so for a moment, he whined.

"Xian Chen, are you okay? What happened?"

"I'm fine, don't worry. As I fell asleep in this place, I must have been somehow uncomfortable." he smiled reassuringly.

"I'm sorry, because of me you stayed here all day, I'm only sorry that I..."

"Yu Bin…" Xian Chen said, interrupting the chain of apologies coming from her mouth.

It could be seen on her face that she was very stressed at the thought that Xian Chen was in pain because of her, and this gave Xian Chen a pleasant feeling. He always thought that once Yu Bin remembers their past, he will lose her for good. How could he have known that a day would come when the two of them would be together in front of the sea under a tree worrying about each other?

"I love you!" he added seeing that Yu Bin stopped talking and was looking at him intently waiting for him to continue. What else could he say? At that moment, all he wanted to say was that he loves her so much.

"I know…" Yu Bin said seriously. How could she not know when he is the one who was always by her side? Whether in the past life or the present life he is always here by her side. Whether she recognized him or not he didn't give up on her.

"I love you," Xian Chen repeated with a smile. In his mind now was the moment when Yu Bin hugged him for the first time. That night when he cried to his heart's content. The night when the wound of his heart began to close.

"I know…" Yu Bin replied, tears threatening to come out. Just the idea that Xian Chen loved her so much and she had hurt him so many times hurt her terribly. She would like to turn back time and protect him against whoever comes.

"I love you." Xian Chen repeats remembering the day he disappeared and Yu Bin puts her life in danger to save him. Just thinking about the fact that she was almost killed by a dragon but she still didn't give up looking for him made his heart pound again and his voice couldn't say anything other than that he loved her.

"I know damn it, I know, I love you too, I love you so much that I would take my heart out of my chest and give it to you if I were asked. I love you, Xian Chen, I really do. Although I've hurt you so many times, I still…I love you. The fact that even though I've hurt you so many times you still love me hurts me terribly. I love you more than a deer loves water springs, more than the moon loves the stars. I love you more than anything in the world." Yu Bin said crying, tears streaming down her face and the hiccups didn't let her say even a whole word. But Xian Chen understood it perfectly.
