Ways Of Revival
"A-Xian... what is this?" Yu Bin said, looking troubled at the paper in her hand. On the paper, it was written 'WAYS OF REVIVAL'.
Getting up from his chair, Xian Chen rushed to Yu Bin and looked at the paper in her hand.
"Ways of revival? Did Ming Fang want to revive her parents? That makes sense." Xian Chen said and the two looked at each other defeated.
The revival technique was a forbidden one with a purpose, the one who tried it was never himself. Hate and despair slowly eat him, and his soul will disappear little by little. If Ming Fang tried this technique then this is the answer to all their questions.
A tear then ran from Yu Bin's eyes, Ming-Fang had not betrayed her, in her madness Ming Fang tried to resurrect her parents and her soul was eaten by hatred, the desire for revenge, and despair. As much as she could suffer alone, although he was with her, he was never near her. If he was next to her, he could have seen that Ming Fang was in pain. She always claimed that Ming Fang was her sister but if she was her sister how could she not see that she was in so much pain? If he had known that Ming Fang wanted his parents back, then he would have stayed closer to her, he would have helped her to heal her wounds, and she would have been his mother and father, sister and friend. It would have been all for him, but he never knew. She always smiled in front of her, so how could she know?
"Yu Bin, don't cry..." Xian Chen said, wiping away a tear that was relentlessly flowing down her face.
"But... It's my fault. Although I always said she was my sister, I still never understood her. If I had been closer to her then I would have known that something was wrong with her and I would have helped her. If I would have stayed close to her then Ming Fang wouldn't have lost her soul." Yu Bin said crying hard and Xian Chen hugged her stroking her hair.
After Yu Bin calmed down, the two started looking for maps related to the revival and its stages. How far has Ming Fang come? Did she manage to revive her parents? Seeing that Ming Fang recorded everything she did, somewhere there must be maps with the evolution of what she tried.

"I'm back..." Bao Fang said, opening the door and getting stuck there for a moment.
"What happened here, we were robbed?" she added, then looking aside she saw the two sleeping with a pile of papers in their hands.
Taking the papers from their hands, she placed them neatly on the table, then lifting Yu Bin, she took her to the next room where there was a bed and after placing her nicely on the bed and wrapping her, she went back to where Xian Chen was and brought him too, placing him next to Yu Bin, then returned to the library.
Looking through the papers that the two had in their hands, she was surprised. She didn't understand what was wrong there... It had nothing to do with fiery corpses, it was something else but what? Taking paper after paper from the table and the floor, she started to read them, and bit by bit she understood. In her attempt to revive her parents, Ming-Fang created tens of hundreds, no, thousands of corpses, but as the technology brings with it problems, she lost her soul among others, and in the end, she lost her purpose. Just like how Yu Bin almost killed Xian Chen when she cultivated resentment energy.
That time Yu Bin came back to herself because of Xian Chen but no one was there for Ming Fang to bring her back. Now that so much time has passed, will it be possible for Ming Fang to be brought back? Tears started to fall down her cheek unknowingly. She was her auntie but never saw the pain in her heart. Maybe because she was too focused on raising Xian Chen, but she thought that Ming Fang had a family to take care of her at that time. The king and the queen always cared for her so she thought she would do her best to care for Xian Chen because it was her fault that Xian Chen was alone. She never saw that Ming Fang was feeling lonely either. Thinking about all this, Bao Fang fell asleep with her head on the table.
"Oh, you brought us to bed but you are sleeping on the table, that's not nice master…ah, come, I will put you on the bed. Have rest tonight, I'm sure you are more stressed than anyone" Yu Bin said stroking Bao Fang's hair then raising her and sending
her into a room. After putting her comfortably she got out staying down at the table trying to find a new clue.
"You should come to sleep Yu Bin, it's late, " Xian Chen said, hugging Yu Bin from behind, his head resting on his shoulder startling her.
" I'll be back soon…" Yu Bin said sweetly, grabbing his hand that was resting on her shoulder then started to read again.
Seeing that she didn't have any thoughts to go back, Xian Chen left to bring another handful of papers and stayed down beside her looking into them. It seems that these were the steps of how to make a corpse with poison inside him. Looking at the data written on there they were long after she tried to resurrect her parents. That means she was already losing her soul a long time ago. Her heart was already full of hate and anger, resentment and bitterness.
Looking up, Xian Chen smiled, forgetting all his worries. Beside him, with her head in her hands, Yu Bin was sleeping soundly. He got up from his chair then took her in his arms and put her to bed, then sat down next to her after stroking her hair and kissing her on the forehead, he fell asleep hugging her.
Waking up in the morning Yu Bin was finding herself in Xian Chen arms and she understood that last night she was taken to bed by him. Staring at him a smile appeared on her face. She would always be thankful to his love because that's what kept her strong. Getting up from the bed she went to the library where she met Bao Fang.
"You wake up..." Bao Fang said, raising her eyes from the papers she was checking .
She had found some new information, it seems that a person who wanted to use the revival technique needed a great amount of pure spiritual energy and the same amount of resentment energy.
"Yes…what are you looking at?"
"I was looking around and found these papers. Did you know that to use the revival technique you need pure spiritual energy? and you need lots of it." Bao Fang said, looking into the papers from her hands and Yu Bin came closer.
"Pure spiritual energy? she said more for her than for the other. Then a thought struck her.
