Heart Cultivation

Jen went to meet leader.

The leader gestured her to sit, "You were actually not here?" he asked directly.

"Indeed, my condition was getting worse so I had to call my grandfather and he took me away for some time, since there are some problems I cannot stay with my grandfather for long I had to return back," Jen explained without telling who was her grandfather?

The leader has also many questions about the ident.i.ty of her grandfather, how can one appear take someone along and disappear without anyone"s notice, but half beast would not ask these questions.

"Since I remember that I request to stay here until my wounds get better, now that my injuries has completely healed, there is no reason to trouble the members of this tribe anymore," Jen spoke with respect.

The leader nodded, "Let me send few beasts to make sure that no one is spying our tribe, then you can leave silently else the human would definitely come looking for you," half beast suggested out of good will.

Jen could feel his sincerity and nodded, "I will remember this favor," she was not supposed to tell that there were Sleuth Custodians to protect her now.

She went back in the tent and after sometime the leader sent someone to bring her again.

The leader ordered few beasts to look out in the surrounding of the tribe and sure enough a human was spying and the bad omen was his ident.i.ty, this man also remain with the powerful strange human so it would dangerous if Jen left when he was around the proximity.

"You should stay for a day or two until I make sure that this human is no more spying," the leader instructed her and Jen went back in the tent.

She thought to spend her time for learning the technique, the most pressing matter was to get a correct approach of this technique and increase her levels.

Though her great grandfather has taught her its three levels but because she was not completely ready to learn it, and also they had not time to practice it in the Defender Hacienda, she came back with the hope to learn it with the pointers and guidance given by her great grandfather.

The biggest hurdle remained the same, she went in the Defender Hacienda thinking it might help her come up present chaos but it was not subsiding despite her efforts.

After a long while Jen was able to learn the reason why her heart was facing turmoil, it was fear which keep telling her that even if she learned and crossed upper sphere, until then the enemy must have harmed Zhi Chang, her heart was constantly fighting with this fear.

This increased her worry and she was unable to focus whatever she wanted to learn.

She was slightly trembling, the memories just returned and jolted her heart, it was not easy, she was facing the same problem which she had gone through once in her childhood.

Emotions were fatal for her heart and if she fought with the emotions she might end up hurting herself.

Female half beast was getting ready silently to leave when she looked that human was absorbed in her cultivation but she stopped to see her frail body was trembling.

She could not understand what caused this human girl to tremble and she was worried if she called out her, it might bother her cultivation.

"Human, what is wrong?" Sambar finally took courage to voice.

Jen opened her eyes and felt that she was perspiring with fear.

"My heart…" Jen placed her hand at her left side and cried, her tears were flowing like stream, once again she lost control of her emotions and it was hurting her.

To be a supreme was like to walk on a path full of thorns, supremes needed to constantly maintain the peace of heart, if they no more remain calm then it would bring chaos for them and for others equally.

It was due to her reserved nature that everything in her surrounding was still tactless else she would have bursted her strength several times in a day to vent her turmoil out from her heart, and perhaps killed many innocents too.

The female sambar sensed fury in her eyes and stepped back, "If your heart is still worried, you should live in crowd to distract your attention,"

Jen noticed that female beast was worried, she shook her head and stood up, "You are right, I should live in crowd," Jen came out of the tent and started walking.

"Let"s go to collect woods, you will see an open s.p.a.ce and feel better," female beast suggested.

"Sure," Jen looked around to spot where Sleuth Custodians were.

The creatures saw their master leaving the tenting area, and followed.

The six months night has completely shut off liveliness of the region, they were walking toward the thick forest, "I should have gathered few more half beasts, this way human tribe would not have come looking for trouble," the female beast regretted.

"We have Sleuth Custodians, you don"t need to worry," Jen reminded her about the custodians.

"What could these creature do to protect, did they even protect someone before?" female beast was little hesitant to believe on this smoky creatures.

The slave lost them and they reached in the thick woods, the slave was currently looking at the tent where the human was supposed to but Jen preferred to stay in the tent of female sambar rather than her own chamber.

"I am also not sure," Jen has not seen them in complete action, few years ago when she met these creatures, they seemed powerful but at that time Jen was not even a Sage.

Custodians were trying their best to keep their serenity after listening to their master and a half beast.

Ta La was also going in the same direction, she felt little distracted today, she could not notice that the human who always kept his attentions at her was following behind.

Kuang took a large stride and held her from wrist, wearing deep red hoody gown the evolved beast woman suddenly turned, "Humans cannot see sometimes the truth, they are usually enthused by their false vision," her red succulent lips moved and Kuang was forced to step back with fear.

Jen and female sambar was near them and they heard the words of the evolved beast, though they cannot see because of thick black night but they clearly heard, Jen was startled to hear too, these words were enough to jolt her gloomy heart and she immediately looked around, she was searching with the help of nightlight stone.

"I only know that I fell in love and can"t stay away from you," Kuang decided seemingly whether to die or express his heart out.

"If you looked in my eyes, you"ll immediately die do you still dare to insist?" there was threat in her tone.

Jen halted her steps, the voice she heard has strange power, and it forced Jen to look the woman who voiced just now.

Kuang could not believe what the evolved beast woman said and he kept insisting to let him see her face.

"You are finally here," evolved beast looked toward a different direction where Jen was standing, her first sentence which she spoke was to get the attention of the girl, not to threat the man.

Jen was astounded again, and she was standing still while holding nightlight stone in her hand and it only lit the small area around her, she looked at her right where two dots were flickering, it was female sambar was who equally stunned.

The evolved beast woman raised her hand, with this Kuang was pushed as far where he could no more think to return back in a day.

"You are here to chop woods while actually you are intentionally chopping your heart, stop giving yourself a false excuse, n.o.body can look into my eyes but you," the evolved beast spoke one word at a time.

Jen was little scared to hear, "How can you be sure and why would I look into your eyes?" she just saw how easily she pushed that man thousand meters away.

"I cannot relate the whole secret but keep in mind you have killed a beast when he was completing his evolution," Ta La was not just an evolved beast, she was not actually what she looked to be.

Jen heard and it was true, she killed the son of Lupa when he was going through his evolution, it was forceful evolution and could have killed her instead if she had not taken one step ahead.

But what it has to do with her heart and what was benefit to look in the eyes of this evolved beast? Was she planning to take revenge for the death of the elder and his son? These were natural questions which would hit anyone in this situation.
