Murim Recurve - Chapter 267

It was morning the next day as Re’Kha got ready. The servant Rim accompanied her as they walked through the connected corridor, heading towards the main building where Re’Kha was supposed to assemble for a family breakfast.

And, there were certain procedures they had to follow before they entered the main house. And, the information for that would be transmitted through the servants. So, only after a servant informed Re’Kha did she leave her house.

It was a custom they followed. And based on the order, Re’Kha knew that her twin brother would only be called after she entered the main house. If it had been before, she wouldn’t have bothered with him much, leaving him to his devices.

But considering everything she had experienced now in the past few months, Re’Kha wished to at least talk with him. But, she couldn’t do so now, intending to wait until the breakfast session was completed before striking up a conversation with him.

While walking through the corridor, Re’Kha was able to feel something moving in the water beside her, even though she didn’t see in that direction. It was through her basic sense that was being developed thanks to the changes in her body brought about by using Wind Qi perception all the time.

Re’Kha turned her head and noticed a couple of fishes swim past her, aligning their bodies to her side, moving in sync with her. And, as she continued to walk, even more fishes behaved the same, forming a school as they moved parallel to her.

‘It’s been some time since I last saw this.’ Re’Kha smiled, stretching her left hand over the fence and above the pond as a couple of fishes jumped from the water and smacked her palm with their tails.

Yawou!

The most common beast grown in all water Clans. This beast was a type of fish that spanned the length of a hand and was a docile species that never attacked anyone. They had similar traits to the Rhipa but were attuned to the element of Water.

They weren’t as incredible as the Rhipa but were still able to purify the water they lived in, also enriching the Water Qi in it. And every day, they would absorb the dirt and other substance in the water, digesting them while excreting them as pure water.

Moreover, every day, they would accumulate a faint bit of fat in their bodies. And, this fat would be fully composed of the Water Qi they had generated by eating their food. After accumulating it for a year, they would lay down tiny gems of fat.

And, this fat would be rich in Water Qi, containing beneficial properties when consumed by a water-based Harmoniser. And, they would all lay down the gems right before the start of the Water Season. So, water-based Harmonisers would consume those gems and then meditate in the beneficial Water Season to further increase the speed of their Water Qi comprehension.

Oftentimes, they just excrete inedible gems that emit a gentle blue radiance, making the water glow during the night. Also, as they continue to generate Water Qi, as the pond water evaporates, the moister content in the air too would possess a certain level of Water Qi, automatically calming down all water-based Harmonisers in the place.

As the Yawou was a species attuned to Water Qi, they were known to gather around in places with a greater wavelength to the water element. And usually, this was evident in Harmonisers. So, simply based on the phenomenon they exhibit, a water-based Harmoniser’s affinity to Water Qi would be obvious.

As for Re’Kha, whenever she moved close to them, all the Yawou would converge around her and accompany her. And at times, they would even play with her. After all, considering her Water Qi affinity, she appeared friendly and peaceful to them, and hence their playful actions towards her.

A Yawou leaped out of the water, danced on her outstretched left palm before jumping back into the pond. Smiling, Re’Kha reached the main house as Rim announced her arrival to the head servant.

After that, Rim waited at the entrance as Re’Kha entered the building, habitually proceeding towards the dining room, noticing the erect back of a familiar figure. She immediately turned silent, tiptoed forward before leaping with all her might, “Dad!”

“Haha, caught you!” Re’Rak laughed as he caught Re’Kha, spun her a couple of rounds before enveloping her in a bear hug, “You’ve been away for too long. I was worried.”

“I was…fine,” Re’Kha smiled, whispering, “I need to talk a lot with you father.”

“Alright,” Re’Rak whispered before saying with his usual tone, “I arrived just now, haha. It’s good that everyone’s here.”

Re’Kha turned around to see that her other three siblings were already seated at the dining table. On one side was her mother; seated to her right was Re’Rel, her pride, and joy, also the candidate that she wished to make the Clan Head next.

Re’Rel was 28 years old now, possessing affinity to the water element only inferior to Re’Kha. But considering the support he obtained, his development was staggering. He was a serious individual and a man of little words. But just like his mother, he was a brilliant schemer, the main reason they were able to give the Central Lake Head immense headache.

Seated to her left was Re’Fua, her second child. Aged 24, she was talented in the art of fighting, managing to be selected into the Southern sect. She had a relatively warmer personality but was equally vicious towards her enemies and had been making a name for herself in the Southern Sect.

Finally, the man seated to the right of Re’Rel was Re’Gra, aged 23 without any noteworthy achievements to his name. He wasn’t the first son and had been in the shadows of his older brother from the start. Moreover, as he was only considered as a stand-in for his older brother, he never had any pressure from childhood.

And because of it, his skills weren’t much. But instead, he began to develop himself in the field of forging, showing skills in the field to the extent he was almost trained by their Clan’s weaponsmith. But, if that happened, their Clan’s Hammer Magic Artifact would fall in his hands, which would mean under the control of Re’Bah. So, he wasn’t given the opportunity to create any Magic Artifacts yet.

But other than that, he seemed like a lazy person, having zero intentions to even leave the safety of his Clan. Even the very air he exuded was filled with laziness.

The next was Re’Kha, seated opposite to Re’Gra and the left of Re’Fua. As their dining table was a circle, she wasn’t exactly opposite to Re’Gra. Finally, her father took a seat to her left as he frowned, “Where’s Re’Dha?”
