Way to the heavens

After Wang Wei and Mei Ying left the tea house, Lu Piao immediately followed them.

"Young master Wei, where are we going with this girl?" he whispered.

"We are taking her back to our family, she said she needed one of our treasures." Wang Wei whispered back.

"What?! How could we do that, we don't even know her." Lu Piao said.

"It's okay, I trust her." Wang Wei said.

After that, they kept walking in silence as they made their way to the red fire-dragon family's property.

"Patriarch, I need to speak with you." Wang Wei said as he walked into the main family hall.

All the elders looked surprised as Wang Wei entered because some of them hadn't seen him ever since he left for jade city.

"Little Wei, what is it that you need to discuss with me?" The patriarch said.

"I need entrance to the family's treasury and I want to take her with me." He said as he pointed to Mei Ying.

"Oh?" The patriarch said with a surprised look on his face. "Of course I would grant you entrance but I don't think that I can let her enter. I don't know who she is, she might be someone trying to steal from our family. We can't trust her."

"I get what you are trying to say but I trust her and she said she needed the pink dragon statue." Wang Wei said.

"What? No one has come looking for the pink dragon statue in all the time we had it in our possession. How do you know about it?" the patriarch asked Mei Ying.

She looked to Wang Wei who then gave an approving nod.

"I am Mei Ying. I come from the pink dragon family in the high mountains. I have reason to believe that it was my family who gave you that statue." Mei Ying said.

"I see… if that is the case I ask the two of you to take a walk with me." Patriarch Wang Longwei asked Wang Wei and Mei Ying.

"Sure." They both answered.

After that, they walked out of the family hall, and they walked toward the patriarch's garden. It was a beautiful garden with spiritual herbs and small soul beasts.

Wang Longwei supported the idea of humans and soul beasts living in co-existence. That is why he always wanted to cultivate spiritual herbs and take care of small soul beasts. However, due to the family's lack of money, he couldn't afford to do any of that until recently. Since the family began to grow and the sacred moon family became a subsidiary family. He had sufficient funds to finally realize his dream. He started by letting the red fire-dragon family live together with soul beasts and eventually he would spread to victory city. The strongest soul beast and his favorite was the crimson flame tiger. It was of the nine-thousand-year level and was closing in on ten-thousand-years. Wang Longwei was cultivating a spiritual herb that could elevate its level by at least ten-thousand years.

As Wang Wei and Mei Ying entered the garden they were filled with a comforting feeling. They felt like they were at home. This was because of the aroma of the ice-blue rose it gives off an aroma that could make anyone feel comfortable.

"This garden is my most treasured possession. Not because of the spiritual herbs or soul beasts but because of the harmony that you can feel right now." The patriarch said. "You are probably wondering why I asked the two of you to take a walk with me. That is because I wish to tell you a story."

"A long time ago it was said that the fire-god dragon and the love dragon were madly in love as they lived in the realm of deities. They eventually had their own family. They had two children the red fire-dragon and the pink dragon, and they were a happy little family. But that happiness wouldn't last long. Eventually they were attacked by demons. To protect their children the love dragon and the fire-god dragon send their children down to our realm. They gave them the forms of humans so that they wouldn't get hunted down. They also gave them each one scale of them. Those were the scales of the love dragon and the fire-dragon god. The children grew up together, they faced many hardships but they always pulled through. Eventually they each found a partner and started their own family. They would collect all kinds of strong experts and both of their families grew to be one of the strongest in the continent. After countless generations, the pink dragon family chose to go into seclusion from the world and collect their strength and they went into hiding. Before they disappeared they gave the red fire-dragon family a statue with the love dragon scale embedded on its head. They also said that they would come look for it one day, and when that day came they would announce to the world that they had returned."

As Wang Longwei was telling this story Wang Wei and Mei Ying both had surprised looks on their faces.

"I am willing to grant you access to the love dragon statue but at the same time I have to give Wang Wei access to the fire-god dragon statue and it is also said that the people who would cultivate using the statues would be linked together by fate. Are you willing to be linked to Wang Wei?" Wang Longwei asked.

"My family also told me this and I was ready to accept whoever would cultivate the other statue." Mei Ying said.

After hearing that Wang Longwei turned to Wang Wei.

"Are you also ready to accept that the two of you will be linked by fate?" He asked.

Wang Wei then looked at Mei Ying. She was beautiful, her beautiful blond hair was blown by the wind and in her blue eyes he could see the light which was being reflected in the water. He was mesmerized by her beauty once again.

"I am able to accept." Wang Wei said.

As Mei Ying heard that she looked at Wang Wei. The two looked deep into each other's eyes and it felt like the entire world stopped. At that moment they felt the connection they shared.
