"She won't get cursed . " Jin explains to them, "True bond is different from adopting a human child . Even heaven's will cannot go against the true bond . True bond doesn't recognize the darkness or light or any law . It unites the souls that are meant for each other . Race, religion, or lineage do not matter to the true bond . So, even heaven has to recognize it . It's same for the chaotic darkness . She's not breaking any law of heavens . "

Race or creed do not matter . The true bond is the least judgmental form . Isn't Huang Qiuyan also different from Fu Sheng and yet, there is something that only he can make her feel . After accepting her feelings, she has realized that he gives her a sense of belonging . He's her home . Her heart is infected by contagious warmth in his voice when he told her to wait for her . She's looking forward to the day of his return . Somehow, it feels like everything will be alright as long as he's beside her .  

"I agree with Jin . " Aiken sighs . "I feel bad for that boy . His true mate is a heavenly blessed shaman . It's better to not have any . "

"Don't lie . " Jin chuckles . "You all wish for one . "

"I do not wish for a true mate . " Izo shrugs . "I would rather live my eternity with my brothers only . "

Noah lets out a laugh and coils his arm around Izo's shoulder . "I wish the same, Izo . You will always have me . "

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Jin detects the emotions in Noah's eyes before they disappear in his laughter . He keeps quiet . Not all of them are lucky like Fu Sheng or Klyn . Some of them have found love, but they are hesitating because they are afraid . One-sided love is the cruellest form of love in the world .  

But, he's still hoping . He will keep hoping that there's a true mate for him somewhere .

"I am heading back . " Kai turns around to leave . Then, he stops and looks at Huang Qiuyan . "Lady Huang, if you ever find your body acting strange, just whisper my name once . I will find you . "

Huang Qiuyan is startled when she's suddenly called out . The vampires realize that she's also there . They forgot to mind her .  

Xiao Chun Dan is already inside her mind . He's been bored out of his mind when he was hearing about the bond . He's busy a.n.a.lyzing what's happening inside her body .

"If she finds her body acting strange, you are the last person she should look for . " Izo scoffs at Kai . "Lady Huang, our brother Lei has expertise in medicinal arts . He left with the King . But, Brother Aiken is also okay . He's quite knowledgeable . You should seek him first if you feel sick . "

"I will do that . " She lifts Fu Mian, who dozed off long ago, in her arms . "I don't know where Fu Mian's room is . "

"I will take you there . " Jin goes to her side . "Lady Huang, do not mind what we said . Our Klyn is notorious, but he only wanted to help the king . "

"It's fine . " She waves her hand . It's in the past . She's feeling better after finding out . Maybe Klyn did it because she and Fu Sheng are meant to be together . "Jin, when will you teach me magic?"

Jin smiles at her . She seems to have a genuine interest in magic . "When do you want to start, Lady Huang?" 

"I want to start as soon as possible," Huang Qiuyan replies, standing in front of Fu Mian's room .

"You didn't eat anything during breakfast . " Jin tells her, "After you have finished having a meal, call my name . I will come to find you and take you to the practice room . "

After Jin is gone, she lays down Fu Mian on the bed and covers her with the blanket . Xiao Chun Dan is quiet . She can use scent to find her room again . She takes a quick bath and comes out wrapped in a towel . She opens the wardrobe . This time, it's full of clothes . She can find all types of clothes in there . Some of them are historical . She wonders if they have been gathering female clothes from different eras for their hobbies . Some questions are better left unanswered . She picks a white loose s.h.i.+rt and a pair of grey pants . Tying her hair into a loose ponytail, she heads out to the pantry .

She will master the magic to some extent before Fu Sheng comes back . When she finishes drinking blood, Jin finds her . "You are done . "

Huang Qiuyan widens her eyes . "When did you come?"

"Just now . " Jin grins . He can keep a track on her through her scent . "Lady Huang, follow me . "

He takes her to the room with a metal door . "This is the practice room . No sound or stray magic can escape this room . You can create storms inside but n.o.body outside this room will ever know . "

She steps inside the room . It lights up on its own . It's an empty long hall with solid grey walls . How can they learn magic here? There's not even a chair or table . Jin closes the door and walks to the middle of the hall . "Before we start, Lady Huang, tell me when did you sense magic inside you for the first time . "

Huang Qiuyan rubs her chin .  She didn't feel it though . She got a loud system's notification in her head that the magic was activated in her body .

"At the hunters' headquarters, I felt it after I drank the hunter's blood . "

It hasn't been long . Jin doesn't show any reaction to her words . "Lady Huang, you already know that you are different . Converts aren't supposed to have magic . Your magic is also different from us . That's not a problem . At the basic level, all magic is pretty much the same . It becomes complicated as it grows . We will worry about that later . " 

He takes a breath . His King might be able to help her when her magic rises to that level . "Today, we will focus on sensing the magic again . We will test what kind of magic you have . "

She already knows that her magic is enchanted wooden type magic that comes from the Fae folks . She doesn't mention it to him . She wants to see how he will test it .
