Rebirth: A Woman With Frozen Heart

Ming Yue and the twins returned to the Wu house around 7PM. It showed how many hours they spent inside Tianshang De Kongjian. Shi Jian, Fan Mei and Grandpa Wu were in the living room, waiting for them to come and when they saw the group of three entered the living room, they shook their heads.

"Look at these children, they left in the morning and returned when it's dark" Fan Mei said with helpless smile.

Shi Jian let out a soft smile, "Maybe because they have a new sister. It's a good thing for siblings to be close with each other."

Grandpa Wu laughed softly as he didn't say anything. Ming Yue stared at them with tense expression and the twins looked truly nervous. Seeing the three's behavior, Shi Jian frowned slightly as he sensed that something was not right.

"Father.. Mother.. and Grandfather, I have something to tell you.." Ming Yue said as started the conversation. The three a.d.u.l.ts stared at Ming Yue, waiting for her to speak more.

"Actually I have a place, call it.. Private Resort.. and this place is not in this realm." Ming Yue said as she lifted her hand. "I think I better show you first.. then explain the rest later.."

Grandpa Wu frowned, "Private Resort but not in this realm..?"

"If this is a joke then it is not funny." Shi Jian said in serious tone.

"Father, this is not a joke." Lin Shao said, "Just let Sister Yue show you."

"Please touch Sister Yue's hand and you will know." Lin Zhao added.

The three a.d.u.l.ts stared at each other before standing up and walked closer to Ming Yue. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao held Ming Yue's other hand. Shi Jian stared at his twin children before touching Ming Yue's finger. Fan Mei looked anxious as she followed her husband, touching Ming Yue's hand and Grandpa Wu followed along.

It didn't take long before the scenery changed in a blink of an eye. The three a.d.u.l.ts were dumbfounded, they looked around in awe.

"This is.." Shi Jian was lost for words, he couldn't describe what he was seeing at the moment with words.

Fan Mei covered her mouth with her hand before speaking, "This is.. your private resort, Yue er?" she asked.

"Yes, mother. This place is called Tianshang De Kongjian. It means Heavenly Space, I am the owner of this space." Ming Yue explained, "And.." she paused as she saw the four beast headed toward them.

"They are my guardian spirits." Ming Yue saidas she pointed at the four beasts.

The three a.d.u.l.ts stood frozen as they saw a dragon, a phoenix, a white tiger-- whom they knew before and a turtle with snake coiled around it headed toward them. Ming Yue was slightly worried about Grandpa Wu's health but since there was Xuan Wu, her worry eased a little bit.

It took quite a while to explain to the three a.d.u.l.ts about everything in Tianshang De Kongjian. The a.d.u.l.ts finally could accept the fact that there were many hidden things beyond the mortal realm they knew. The three beasts introduced themselves in beast form but they changed to human form soon after. It made the a.d.u.l.ts felt at ease a little bit because it was easier to talk to human form instead of talking to a beast directly.

After that, Ming Yue gave them a tour in Tianshang De Kongjian. The a.d.u.l.ts were impressed of this Heavenly Space, it was truly magical and fantastical! Grandpa Wu finally knew that the herbs and ginsengs Ming Yue sold were something she got from this place. Lin Zhao and Lin Shao had to hold back their laughter when Grandpa Wu said that he also wanted to buy the thousand years ginseng. Ming Yue only chuckled and promised to give it to him as a gift, hearing that Grandpa Wu became satisfied.

However the tense atmosphere returned when Ming Yue told them that she was a cultivator and the twins d.e.s.i.r.ed to be one as well. Shi Jian's face became scary as he stared at the twins.

"You have heard the warning from Bai Hu and you still want to become one?" he asked in angry tone. They all currently gathered at the living room inside the Moon Palace.

Lin Shao looked down before but hearing Shi Jian's question, he dared to stare at his father. "Yes. I know it's dangerous but Father.. I.. I want to be a cultivator like Sister Yue!" He said in determine tone.

"Me too!" Lin Zhao added, her determination was not losing to Lin Shao.

Fan Mei stared at her children with grievance, "What is the probability?" She asked Zhu Que.

"The usual way is 50/50 chances.. but with our help, it can raise to 70/30." Zhu Que said without hiding anything.

"only 70/30?" Shi Jian asked, still with the same scary face.

Zhu Que grimaced "It's the best we can do with our heavenly aura. Mortals become cultivators is the hardest thing to do after all. The body needs to be changed so it can hold aura."

"..You said that to become cultivator, one must have a near death experience and the process is so painful, right?" Grandpa Wu, who had been silent the entire time finally asked Zhu Que.

"Yes." Zhu Que answered, looking puzzled. She didn't understand why the old man asked that question but her confusion was answered when Grandpa Wu turned his gaze to Ming Yue and asked her a question.

"Have you gone through a near death experience, Little Yue?"

The entire room became still. Realizing the fact, Lin Zhao and Lin Shao whipped their gazes to Ming Yue abruptly. They were focusing on becoming cultivators that they failed to realize such fact.

Ming Yue gave a sad smile. "I am different.." she paused before continuing, "I didn't undergo such trial because.. I am a reincarnated person.."

Once again silence returned to the room and Fan Mei was the one who broke it. "Reincarnated.. as in.."

Ming Yue's sad smile became more visible, "Yes.. I died once.."

The moment Ming Yue brought all the Wu family to Tianshang De Kongjian, she had decided to b.a.r.e it all. They were the first people who gave her warmth, love and care. It would be rude and disrespectful if she kept this matter a secret. She wanted them to know who she really was and leave it to them whether they could accept her or not. If they couldn't accept her then Ming Yue would not have any regret, she would leave without turning back.

Ming Yue told them everything. How she lived in the past, how she died and how she returned to the past. Hearing Ming Yue's story, the Wu family's eyes became red. Lin Zhao and Fan Mei shed tears and Lin Shao clenched his fists hard.

"So that's the reason why you said to that man 'This is where we part'?" Lin Shao asked, his tone was low and filled with rage.

"That Man? Who are you talking about?" Grandpa Wu frowned while his eyes were still red.

"This morning we met a man, his name is.. Long.. ah! Long Zhi Qiang!" Lin Zhao explained, "He came to Sister Yue, acted like he knew her and.." Lin Zhao glanced at Ming Yue, wondering whether she should continue explaining or letting Ming Yue took over.

"He was the man I sacrificed my life for in the previous life. I foolishly loved him so much even though he gave me nothing but cold treatment." Ming Yue said with a heartbreaking smile.

"Looks like he reincarnated as well but I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. In my last breath, I vowed not to fall in love with him for the second time. I gave my life to save him in the previous life, in this life I want to live for myself."

Grandpa Wu, Shi Jian and Fan Mei were rendered speechless. They could only imagine how much heartache this little girl bore in her heart to make such vow in her last breath. As for Grandpa Wu, he finally knew the reason why Ming Yue had that cold, lonely and desolate eyes. Having to live such cruel and torturous life, anyone would be brokenhearted. The heaven truly gave this little girl another chance to live her life.

His mind now focused on the man who Ming Yue had sacrificed her life for in her past life. Grandpa Wu made a mental note to look for the man later, he knew the man's name so it wouldn't be too hard to search any information about the man. Grandpa Wu wanted to meet this Long Zhi Qiang face to face. He wanted the man to let Ming Yue go so she could live her life. This time with Wu family to care and give her all the love she deserved.

'That man had his chance to love Little Yue and he blew it.'

'Now.. he didn't have that chance again..'

Grandpa Wu mused those thought in his mind.
