Chapter 70
"Jiao Xue" Huang Jin de materialized infront of Feng Jiao Xue startling the old patriarch.
His muddled gazed sharpened as his Qi spiked up against the new introder before his head snapped back towards Feng Jiao Xue. "...Jiao Xue?" his hands trembled as he raised it to hold her cheek in his palm. "My little snowflake...?"
Feng Jiao Xue fingers that was holding his wrist stiffened slightly at the call, a shiver running down her very soul as her heart ached in longing.
How her previous incarnation had once longed to hear those terms again. Unfortunately, she could not wait long enough to hear them or perhaps... whirlpools of emotions swirled in those beautiful obsidian eyes... perhaps she would waited for nothing at all.
"Give me" Feng Jiao Xue sighed as she stretched her hand out.
Huang Jin De placed the red, glazed pill in her palm.
Feng Jiao Xue’s hand clenched around the orb as she held the thumb sized small radiant pill between her fingers.
The Soul Stabilizing Pill glowed with a soft golden red hue. It’s energy thrumming like the soft strums of a guitar, carrying the essence of a thousand rare herbs and the painstaking refinement of Huang Jin De’s alchemy.
Feng Zhenhai frowned at the pill Feng Jiao xe offered him.
"Grandpa" Feng Jiao Xue deliberately called in the sweet, sticky tone her previous incarnation used to call him when she was little. "Get better okay?" Feng Jiao Xue smiled yet tears welled up her eyes involuntarily, half of her soul calling out to her grandfather like a wounded child calling out for her parents. "You still haven’t given me that pearl candy from the south I begged for"
Feng Zhenhai shakily let out a breath, a hand that would not stop trembling slowly struggled to reach for the pill. His face that was once as unshakable as a mountain, was now lined with deep creases, his body frail like a dying ember on the verge of being extinguished. Yet, even in his weakened state, his presence remained overwhelming, a dormant dragon waiting to awaken.
