Skyward Over God - Chapter 8

“Eep! No! I fell into the river and they chased after my mount! Please don’t hurt me! Woo.”

“Stop crying!” Fei Lei’s frustration had reached his peak as memories of his mother’s death came flooding back to him, he let go of her, “Please, just stop crying.” Fei Lei crouched down and slumped his head in defeat.

The girl who was sitting the ground sniffling said, “You let me stay here!?”

“You’re not giving me much choice.” Fei Lei sighed

The girl started rubbing her nose and eyes, trying to stop her sniffling, she removed her hood to reveal the peerless beauty of a woman she was.

The young maiden looked to be around the same age as Fei Lei, and was even shorter than him, as she was around 5’5. She had long and straight violet hair which was tied into a ponytail that hung just below her buttocks.

Her lips were slightly puffy and were slightly pronounced, they were kind that of hypnotic lips that would drive the desires every man that gazed on them, her eyes were crimson red and glowed like elegant fire rubies, this only enhanced the sheer flawlessness of her facial features, making even the estranged Fei Lei think highly of her beauty.

Judging from the curves he felt when he was holding her with his telekinetic hand, she was also well endowed, at least a 38FFF Cup, and a perfectly toned hourglass-shaped physique that would drive any man wild.

“You saved me! Woo!” The girl started crying again.

“Please, I’m begging you, just stop crying!” Fei Lei begged.

“I can’t!” The girl started crying even louder, Fei Lei placed his back against the tunnel wall and sighed as he looked up at the ceiling, he then began waiting patiently for her crying session to run the end of its course.

After ten minutes or so, the girl had finally managed to calm down some, “So…sniffle, what’s your name…sniffle?”

He turned his head and said, “Fei Lei, yours?”

“Yan Mei, the only daughter of the Crimson Warlock!” Yan Mei patted her chest proudly, which shook slightly.”

Fei Lei raised his brow and said with a lot of disinterest in his tone, “Is that some big shot magician?”

The girl shook and was about to berate him again when she thought of her cousin’s plans and bit back her tongue. Yan Mei stared at him before saying, “How can you not know my papa? We’re one of the top 10 greatest Spell Caster Families in the lands.”

Fei Lei stood up and started walking away back towards his castle, and said, “I wouldn’t know any much about the magic world, after all, I’ve been secluded from that world most of my life.”

“What are you some kind of hermit?” Yan Mei asked looking at his back walking back towards his residence.

Fei Lei answered, “Yeah, something like that.”

As they traversed back to his home, she walked up beside him and asked, “So what kind of Spell Caster are you?”

Fei Lei grinned and replied, “Non-Elemental.”

The girl froze and looked at him in Pity before thinking back to how he destroyed her spell, “You’re lying! You used a wind spell back there to move faster!”

Fei Lei shook his head and revealed his Spell Sigil, the glowing grey character floating above his hand made her face turn pale, “This is impossible.”

Fei Lei retracted his Sigil and continued to walk back down the tunnel. After they arrived back at his house, Fei Lei took her to one of the random guest rooms that he built and said, “You can stay here, stay out of my store room and don’t disturb my training.”

She looked around the room and saw it had no magic apparel whatever, but it still somehow managed to look comfortable, there was a stone built bed frame with dozens of Furs piled on top of each other as a bed, over in the corner was a stone bathtub and sink that only had a cold water line feeding in from the river, next to them was a single wood stove plate connected to a large stone tank made of limestone and marble.

He turned around to leave and left her completely stunned when he closed the door she flopped down on the bed and said, “A Human Transfiguration Sigil owner beat me! How? He’s still an Adept, and I’m a Magi, and I already have my second Sigil!”

In the entire continent, there were around 16.5 million humans alive, only 10% of this population was lucky enough to be born with magical talents. Thanks to the majority of the Spell Casting population being Elemental Sigil users, several thousand iterations and revisions of their Ancestor’s Mantras have been preserved in scrolls and manuals.

While less than a percent of the magic population are born as Non-Elemental users, they have never so much as reported a sighting of a Non-Elemental Magic Beast, and a Mantra was even more unheard of. Yan Mei stared at the door in shock, “I was just beaten by a minority of a minority.”

She was scratching her head and jumped up as she suddenly thought of something, “There were almost thirty 3-Star Magic Cores in that chest. Does that mean he can beat an Erudite!”

She moved to the door and cast a level 0 wind spell ‘Eyes of the Wind Spirit’ Yan Mei as a fire user also had a second affinity wind, and a weak affinity for lightning. Those who gain their elemental Sigils can also learn other spells, but each sigil comes with their own affinities, Fire has Wind and Lightning.

Earth can use Wood, Water Elemental Spells. Water sigil owners gain the ability to cast Wind, and Darkness Elemental spells. Wind users gain affinities for Gravity and Fire. Lastly, Non-Elemental spells could only cast other Non-Elemental Spells.

Her spell allowed her to send out her mana on a gust of wind and use it to see where ever it traveled.

It made its way under the door and searched throughout the castle grounds to see Fei Lei sitting around a pile of 3-Star Magic Beast meat, all of it cooked and looking quite good, however, there was just too much.

She watched on as he began to devour the food chewing them up like they were made of water, “Just what the hell is his teeth made out of?!” Yan Mei thought as he continued to eat quicker than she thought any person could.

After finishing off one-tenth of the food pile, and seeing his bloated stomach she assumed he had some kind of parasite or worm. However, as he started to convert them into pure nutrients and energy, Yan Mei watched on in astonishment as his stomach began to shrink back down to normal size, she couldn’t help but notice the grey gaseous Sigil shining brightly on his forehead.

After Fei Lei stood up, she saw him suddenly pull over a giant stone suit with his Telekinetic hands and made her jump, “There’s no disturbance in the Mana! This isn’t magic! What’s he doing with that armor, is he going to make a golem!?” Her eyes grew wide as she watched him don the equipment, she was about to cast a spell in an attempt to save his life.

“What is he thinking, is he trying to kill himself? That’s at least 2000 pounds! I better cast featherweight on the armor!” She raised her hand but stopped as she saw him suddenly start running in the suit.

She fell out of her bed and stared on in amazement as Fei Lei jumped around in the suit like it was regular plate mail. She followed him to his workout track and looked on in horror from what she saw. Steep climbs and large bumps littered the grounds, there was also a crazy climbing section that had several 250-foot tall walls he had to climb over barehanded, next was jumping over pitfalls, and dodging rolling boulders in this strange half pipe construction full of twist and turns.

The last part of the track she started to think she was hallucinating, Fei Lei jumped into the Moat and sunk to the bottom before hopping out causing a loud splashing noise as he landed back in the water and started repeating this action until he made an entire lap around his moat.

After climbing out at the outside of the estate, he sprinted a full lap around the large dome-shaped cavern and when he returned to his courtyard and stood in front of the remaining meat before pulling off his helmet to use his telekinesis to eat another portion and go back to that insane routine.

She couldn’t believe what she was seeing as he continued to do this 8 more times until the food pile was gone, he headed over to his room and quickly used his telekinesis to strip down, she freaked out as she saw him nude and lost control over her spell.

Her face was blushed beet red, and she was covering her face while rolling around on the ground, “What did I just see?! That was a snake right?!” She threw her face into the fur blankets and tried to calm down, Yan Mei shouted into the fur bed when she suddenly realized, “His body!”

Fei Lei’s body had bulked up to a decent muscle size, he didn’t look like a toothpick anymore, it wasn’t overly muscled but rather well toned and slightly bulky, like a top-tier acrobat’s build.

Yan Mei sat up tired to clear the image from her mind, but she couldn’t no matter how hard she tried, it just kept popping up in her head, until her frustration drove her to sleep.

Fei Lei was practicing his breathing technique in the ice-cold water of the river, as he thought, “My stamina has shot through the roof, I normally could only do that once a day with the 1000 pound set, but now I can do it 10 times with the 2000 pound set.”

Fei Lei laughed as he got out of the water and washed his clothes before shaking them dry, “If she wasn’t here, I could have just worn the training suit without my clothes. I guess I should head into town tomorrow to buy a few things.

Fei Lei put his clothes on and headed to sleep, that night he dreamed about the happy times with his parents, a tear formed in his eyes as he woke up.

“I haven’t dreamed about them in years.” Fei Lei thought as he headed outside to see Yan Mei walking around looking at his garden, “Good Morning.” Fei Lei said, making her jump, she started to avert her eyes as she responded, “G.g.g.g Good Morning!”

“Still scared of me?” Fei Lei asked.

“No!” Yan Mei looked at him before her face turned red and she turned her face away and said, “I’m more curious than scared.”

“Then why won’t you look at me?” Fei Lei asked another question.

“Because! None of your business!” Yan Mei shouted as she stomped her foot on the ground.

“Okay…I’m going to head out and hunt for my meals and head into town to buy some clothing.”

“I don’t have a change of clothing, can you take me with you?” She asked with a pleading expression.

“How strong are the people chasing you?” Fei Lei asked in response.

“Only one Sorcerer, and three Erudites.” Yan Mei answered.

“Can any of them fly?” Fei Lei continued to question her.

“No, I’ve been chased only by foot, if they had someone who could fly then I would have been caught.” Yan Mei answered honestly.

Fei Lei scratched his head, “Fine, but then you’ll have to go home after we reach the town.”

She suddenly had a scared expression on her face and said, “I can’t go home yet. Mother and Father aren’t back from their expedition. If I go home, I’ll be captured by my cousin. Look can’t I just stay here for a while, I promise if you become my bodyguard my family will reward you handsomely.”
