Skyward Over God - Chapter 14

Yan Mei paused as she realized that he woke up, and for a few seconds everything was quiet, Yan Mei’s face suddenly had tears in it as she pulled her head back and puffed her cheeks before she said, “Go back to sleep!”

Fei Lei scratched the back of his head and said, “No?”

Yan Mei ran out of his room, she couldn’t even stare at him she was so embarrassed, Fei Lei looked around and tried to stand up, he noticed that his body still felt rather weak, but after using the Innervision spell he discovered that everything had healed accordingly, and he was completely healthy.

He looked around the room and saw the leftover food on a large plate next to him, touching his lips Fei Lei thought back to what transpired moments earlier and smiled, he stood up and walked out of his room and to Yan Mei’s, he knocked on the door, and heard her reply, “Please go away?” with a muffled voice.

Fei Lei smiled and opened the door to see her pushing her face into her bed, she stood up and hid the scar on her face by turning it away.

Fei Lei walked up to her and heard her say, “I’m glad you’re okay.” Suddenly Yan Mei felt his hand reach out to her cheek, she felt his soft hand turn her face towards his own, as Fei Lei ran his thumb across the small scar and saw the sad expression on her face, he asked, “Did you get this protecting me?”

“This is nothing!” Yan Mei shouted, “You almost died Fei Lei! Why didn’t you just leave me behi…” Yan Mei suddenly felt him gently kiss the scar, he faces lit up as he moved closer to her lips, “Is this the mouth that fed me?”

Yan Mei blushed as she stared into his eyes, Fei Lei kissed her making her feel like she was floating, after separating he picked up her hands and kissed them, “And these must be the hands that cared for me.”

Yan Mei’s legs felt weak as she buried her head in his chest, Fei Lei felt him wrap his arms around her and declared, “You’re mine now, no one else is allowed to have you!”

Yan Mei blushed and nodded her head, “Mn!”

Fei Lei smiled as he stayed there with her and just enjoyed the moment, he could smell the scent of her soap that smelled like roses, the hand on her face as he kissed her made felt like her skin was as soft as a baby’s.

Fei Lei breathed her in and pulled back from his kiss and smiled as Yan Mei said, “Your mine, Fei Lei!”

The two stayed this way for a while, after a few minutes they separated and stared into each other’s eyes as they embraced, the quiet began to create an awkward silence, when the two parted slightly and Yan Mei coughed into her fist before saying, “We’ll..um…that was nice.”

“So, how long until your parents return?” Fei Lei asked, running his hand through her hair.

“They went to explore a world dungeon, it could be months before they come back.” Yan Mei answered as she kissed Fei Lei.

“Well, I think it’s time for Teacher Mei to teach me what a world dungeon?” Fei Lei asked continuing his magic lesson.

“A World Dungeon is when Mana spontaneously erupts in locations along the Layline, it usually forms into powerful monsters den where the rarest magical items materials can manifest. But there’s a catch to it, besides the dungeon spawning magical creatures, there’s a boss type that guards the Dungeon Core. A powerful item used in many magical artifacts.”

Fei Lei was growing interested when he said, “How often do they pop up?”

“Small less dangerous ones appear all the time, they even have competitions in some places where they respawn, so they are usually handled by the guild, but larger ones like the one my parents went to are very rare, once in a hundred years rare.” Yan Mei answered as she sat down near him.

“Do you know the locations of any small ones? Fei Lei asked with a grin on his face.

Yan Mei smiled back and said, “Yes! Do you want to conquer one with me? It’s always been a dream of mine to form a party and go dungeon diving, but it isn’t until next month that the closest one I know of Respawns.”

Fei Lei chuckled as the two started to walk around, Fei Lei grabbed her hand, and the two just talked about themselves, Yan Mei explained that her uncle on from her mother’s side was supposed to be the next family head, but all that changed after she was born, “You see, I was born with very rare Mana Roots, so grandfather started grooming me to take over, Uncle and his son have been messing with me ever since.”

Fei Lei frowned as he listened to her story, “At first it was just bullying, but when I heard that I had a talent for Enchantment, I snuck out. I had no idea my uncle would send assassins after me.” Yan Mei looked down, “I know we don’t get along, but he’s still my family, I never wanted to be the next family head anyways.” Tears started to form at the edge of her eyes.

Fei Lei hugged her, and comforted her by saying, “Screw your uncle, if I ever see him, I’ll crush him! You didn’t deserve that, a family is supposed to protect their own, not harm them.”

Yan Mei smiled as she pulled herself close to Fei Lei and said, “Were too weak for that, Uncle is a almost an Arch Wizard, but he’s also 120 years old, but we can catch up.” After kissing him she asked, “What about you? How’d you end up wanting to do all this?”

Fei frowned and said, “Because I was a Child Mage Slave.” He quickly clued her in on what happened, he started with the death of his parents, Yan Mei gripped his hands and started crying. Wiping the tears from her cheek Fei Lei smiled and kissed her again.

He continued telling her about his time on the street, and how the mage sold him into slavery, “I never asked to be picked off the street, and I most certainly didn’t ask to become a slave.”

Yan Mei felt bad for him, her family owned slaves as well, but they didn’t mistreat them, they gave them homes made them butlers and maids to let them work off their debt to become free citizens once again. She knew what went on in slave encampments, and not even the children are spared from their torture.

She squeezed her body closer to him and said, “I’m sorry.”

“For what? It’s not like your family was responsible for it, and I plan to get my revenge against that Mage someday, and the bandits that killed my parents.” Fei Lei said and he puffed out a breath of foul air. “Well, I got to meet Teacher, and you because of being enslaved, so it wasn’t all bad.”

“I’ve been meaning to ask, but who is your master?” Yan Mei asked.

“Teacher!” Fei Lei said with an upset tone.

“Pardon?” Yan Mei said looking a little bewildered.

“He is my Teacher, never my Master,” Fei Lei said with a cold expression on his face.

Yan Mei felt like kicking herself, she knew why he was pissed and squeezed him as she said, “I’m, sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

Fei Lei sighed and said, “No, I’m sorry, I just really hate that word.”

He gave Yan Mei a kiss on the cheek, “I know you didn’t mean anything by it, I just really can’t stand hearing that word, hearing it just takes my mind back a bad place.” Fei Lei kissed her back.

“So what do want to do, until the dungeon opens?” Yan Mei asked as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

Fei Lei scratched his head, and said, “Oh, I got it!” He pulled her over to the town in progress and showed her what looked like a giant hollowed out Hypertorus made out of stone, Fei Lei walked up to it and said, “This is a power plant, I think we can get what we need to be built before the dungeon respawns.”

Yan Mei looked over the stone doughnut-shaped ring and asked, “How is this supposed to create electricity?”

Fei Lei laughed and said, “Well, right now it can’t. This is just building that it will be inside, I need many more parts, however, I already created a Faraday cage around the lining of the building, this way it will stabilize and hold the magnetic field in place, told you copper was an amazing material.”

Fei Lei pulled her hand and said, “Come, I show you the blueprints, and teach you how it works.”

Yan Mei smiled, she actually enjoyed learning from Fei Lei, she was especially interested in learning science, she also felt that it was connected to her magic somehow. As she saw the large interior Fei Lei began explaining that they would need large magnets that were the sizes of a 2-ton storage container, and a few thousand of them Yan Mei was shocked.

“I don’t suppose you can control the level of your magnetism that your lightning produces?” Fei Lei asked.

Yan Mei scratched her head when Fei Lei began to explain that every magnet hat to have a specific electromagnetic signature and strength for this to work, that meant in order to pull this off he needed the ability to fine-tune an electromagnetic field.

Yan Mei shook her head and said, “I don’t think I can do that, sorry, maybe if I had something to study on electromagnetic fields I might be able to make some sense of what it means.”

Fei Lei suddenly had an idea, he ran back to his lab and pulled out a large batch of leather papers and began writing something down, he continued to do this for several hours, suddenly thick 400 to 500 paged books started to pile up beside him as a few days had passed, Yan Mei brought him food and he always said his thanks before digging back into what he was working on.

The next day he laughed out loud and said, “Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”

Yan Mei looked over at what would be considered textbooks containing the knowledge from the 28th century Earth, there were multiple books ranging from basic math, to advanced calculus, as for science books, Fei Lei covered every ‘study of’ that he could think of, and everything from the study of string theory to quantum mechanics were covered in thick leather-bound books that filled up most of the room in his lab. He had teachings that started from elementary to university lined up as he sat back in his chair and said, “I’m done!”

Yan Mei picked up some of the books and noticed they were separated into three levels, “Beginners Guide to Biology, Standard Biology, and Advanced Biology.” She began looking around, becoming aware that all the subjects were written in a similar form she smiled.

“Where did you learn all this stuff!?” Yan Mei asked as she began looking through the pages of his writings.

“Oh, you know, here and there!” Fei Lei replied with a funny smile on his face.

Yan Mei stomped her foot on the ground and said, “Meanie!”

Fei Lei laughed as he moved over to the books and began carrying them into his lounge and placed them on his shelves next to his level 0 spells.

“Feel free to read, if you want to learn about magnetic I would suggest you start at basic science and work your way up to advanced science, you should also read up geology and study of metallurgy. If you have any questions I’ll do my best to answer them,” Fei Lei said as he looked to her expecting a look of frustration, but instead all he saw was a fascinated smile, she began picking through the books and piling up a small stack for her to read and said, “Well teacher Fei Lei, I hope you treat me well!”
