Chapter 149 - Understanding (1/2)

I quickly walk back to Bai Lei's courtyard and find a large tree. I sit under the tree and watch as the discolored leaves slowly fall, losing myself in my thoughts. Was this really so bad? I look down at my hands as Little Bun climbs up on the tree behind me.

Doesn't everyone have light and dark in them? I look to my right hand and watch as the dark energy comes to the surface before turning to my left hand and doing the same with my 'light' energy. I look at the two powers and slowly bring my hands together.

The two intertwine with each other without mixing. Just coexisting with each other... as it should be. I don't understand why everyone is freaking out so much. Out of curiosity, I lean down and place my left hand on the ground, watching as the leaves lift up and begin lightly swirling around me.

I pour a little more power into it and watch as the surrounding leaves begin lifting in the same way, creating a small storm of leaves. Little Bun wiggles his little butt on the tree branch as he tries his best to catch the leaves flying past him. I slowly lower my right hand and touch the ground.

Nothing.

Huh... I lift my right hand and look at it in confusion. The tiny storm of leaves die off as little Bun jumps down from the tree and onto my shoulder asking ”What are you doing Master?” I pull my power back and slowly stand up as I say ”Just experimenting. I wanted to see what this dark energy would do but...”

I shrug my shoulders and say ”Let's go get something to eat.” Little Bun becomes excited and yells out ”Yummies!” Giggling, I walk away from the tree and towards the building, not noticing the ground behind me changing.

The grass that was touched by my right hand begins to shrivel up and die off before slowly spreading out but it doesn't go far before coming to a slow stop.

I bite into the juicy peach and giggle when I see little Bun trying to shove an entire peach in his cheek pouch. He had big cheeks but they weren't that big! Suddenly, a large hand touches my lower back making me jump.

I turn and look to find Bai Lei smiling down at me. I return the smile and ask ”I thought you were busy?” He sits beside me and pulls my free hand to him as he says ”I am but I'm taking a break. I want to spend time with you.”

He lifts my hand up to his soft lips before placing a kiss on it. His dark eyes look up to me making me swallow hard. I lift my other hand, holding the peach up to him as I ask ”Do you want some? It's really sweet and juicy.”

He smirks against my hand before lowering it and leaning forward. I watch him with large eyes as he takes a bite of the peach. Juice runs down my fingers and down to my wrist, making me cringe. I can't stand being sticky!

Bai Lei quickly leans forward and catches it with his tongue! His warm tongue on my wrist has me dropping the fruit and snatching my hand back. I give him a glare as he watches me with a smirk. Humor dances in his dark eyes as he grabs a cloth and helps me wipe off the juice.
