Chapter 3: Sealed (1)

Walking along and fishing among the bottom of the waterfall. A young fifteen year old fellow with his red eyes cold gaze he saw blood flowing from the water.

Turning his gaze, he saw a little girl bleeding out with an arrow to her arm. He was about to leave her when his heart had a tug. It would not allow him to leave unsteadily as he sighed. Not even believing what his chest was weighing down on. Looking to the little girl he carried her back to his home.

He looked to the wound which was deep. Removing the arrow as lightly as he could. He sighed knowing she would not live till the sun rose up if he didn't do something quick. Although his mind brought his fathers words to back to him.

"If you give your blood to that one individual then you can only give it to them to heal or other ways. Our blood is one of a kind, once given to that one person then your both sealed together. You both can heal each other in many ways that can be possible and even feel pain from one another if one gets hurt."

Grabbing his knife, he looked down to the girl below but he then slit his palm as he held the blood in his mouth then transferring it to the little girl's mouth below him. Letting the blood go to her mouth as she had swallowed it. Laying her back down he wrapped her wound. Not understanding why he did so, he only wanted the girl to live.

Waking up, Liu Fu Juan saw a poorly built ceiling and someone who had a campfire on. He looked to be very young as he was cooking up something. She noticed herself on a giant leaf as she looked to see him.

"Who are you?" She asked him. He didn't give her an answer as she weakly got up holding her bandaged arm. Walking over to him he was still cooking the fish. "Umm, thank you for saving me."

He turned to see a young girl that would be a beauty in the future with her rare eyes and young look. "Mhm." He only said as she kept looking at him. Fascinated by his red eyes and fine arched eyebrows. Wondering why he wasn't saying anything more than he already was. Sitting down next to him, she looked at him cooking.

"Is there a way I can leave? I have to go back to my family or else things will become an uproar." She said slouching as she remembered seeing her mother shot. She felt tears form as it fell. A hand wiped her tear as she looked to see it was the young fellow. "Can I at least know your name?" She asked him.

Seeing the little girl he sighed. "Fang Teng Fei." He only said as she smiled at least knowing his name. He wasn't much of a talker that's what she found out.

"Thank you Teng Fei. You saved me." She said. "I have to go home. I worried everyone long enough already." Getting up sore she held her bandaged arm. Seeing the door she got up to walk there. Before she did, her hand was held onto as she turned to look down at Fang Teng Fei who had held her hand. "Is there something else I should know?" She asked.

He only then handed her a stick with a fish on it. Taking hold of the stick with the fish she took a bite. Eating it was delicious which felines tend to love fish in the kingdom. She purred with a little joy knowing that he was kind enough to give her some. "..." He watched her eat as he found it rather amusing. He didn't say much unless it was necessary to.

"Can you help me go back to the waterfall?" She asked him. Taking a bite out of his fish, he only nodded to her response. "Thank you." She sat closer and hugged him.

His eyes grew wide with shock as he never liked such affectionate movements. He sighed only as he continued to let her hug him. She then released him, sitting down next to him as she continued to eat the fish.

When the sun rose up high and clear, he led her through the forest he lived in for now. She took hold of his hand as he looked to his hand held by hers. Then looking to her, he wanted to question what was up but he could feel her afraid.

"I'm sorry. I'm not used to this place." Holding his hand as he just sighed allowing her to continue to hold his hand. He just never had such touch before as he felt her warm soft hands in his. Reaching the waterfall, he stopped as she looked up seeing how she survived the waterfall. "How did I survive such fall?" She questioned as he looked to her.

Hearing movements behind them he turned around to block Liu Fu Juan behind him as mountain lions and cougars walked out growling to him. He felt a burst of flame about to occur when it stopped. Liu Fu Juan's hand rested on his shoulder to stop. She smiled looking to him to ensure him.

"It's okay. He saved me." Liu Fu Juan said to them as they had stopped growling. Standing now, walking out of the bushes appeared none other than their emperor. Liu Gang saw his little daughter as he saw the boy next to her.

Liu Zhang shifted into human as Fang Teng Fei didn't seem the least bit shocked. Instead, he stood his ground looking to them as if he already seen that happen before. Liu Fu Juan was quite surprised that he didn't flinch or pass out from seeing such a thing happen. Most that sees it for the first time would faint like her grandfather who was human.

"Fu Juan." She heard her father as she ran hugging him.

"Father! I'm okay!" Liu Fu Juan hugged her father nuzzling into his neck as he hugged her back taking deep breaths knowing that his little girl was safe. Looking to the young boy he walked up to him still holding Liu Fu Juan in his arms.

"What's your name?" Liu Gang questioned the boy who only gave him the cold red gaze. Deep down Fang Teng Fei felt his heart tug a little with jealousy.

"Fang Teng Fei." He only said to Liu Gang.
