REINCARNATION: TRAPPED IN THE WRONG BODY

CHAPTER 54. Snow lotus flower potion

***Cunlun Mountains***

Zhong Li aka King was determined to memorize the theory of the science of lightening the body and footstep movements well.

Although in the original world King disliked rote lessons and preferred to practice everything in person, but the science of lightening the body is a combination of rote theory and footstep movements so inevitably King has to adjust to all things in this new world.

King also followed Princess Jing Mi's instructions to set up and use the right strength so that her body felt light and agile as it floated through the air.

Gradually the King was able to control his strength so Princess Jing Mi removed her hand from the King's waist.

"It's time to try it for yourself!" princess Jing Mi said.

The King concentrated fully on controlling his power to descend from the Kunlun Mountains. King's footwork was so agile and fast that Princess Jing Mi who was behind him felt amazed at the speed of learning from King.

Princess Jing Mi quickened her footsteps to catch up with King so that the two of them side by side descended the Kunlun Mountains.

King turned his head to the side and smiled faintly at Princess Jing Mi, while Princess Jing Mi who saw clearly King's brilliant eyes became reminded of something.

"Zhong Li's! Since when do your eyes heal?" princess Jing Mi asked as the two of them almost arrived at the bottom of the Kunlun Mountains.

King who was surprised by the impromptu question of Princess Jing Mi became broke his concentration so that he could not control the strength of his body and landed perfectly on the ground with his face down.

"Ouch!" The King grimaced in pain, while Princess Jing Mi landed on the ground in a perfect standing position.

The last Xena to arrive on the ground immediately ran towards King and swept him to his feet.

Xena did not expect Zhong Li who was seen to have mastered the science of lightening the body well, could fall at a close distance.

"Although young master Zhong Li already has deep strength, because the blind cannot use it properly, " said Xena's heart.

"Young master Zhong Li. You all right?" ask Xena.

"I'm fine" King said as he held onto his sore nose and cheeks.

Princess Jing Mi chuckled as she could not help but feel the gel, as she looked at King's bruised and bluish cheeks and nose.

Princess Jing Mi's laughing voice made King's face hue red.

"Daughter of Jing Mi! Come here!" said King while gritting his teeth.

King felt very embarrassed because he fell and landed on the ground with his stomach even though only a little while he could land perfectly. All because of his disturbed concentration, which was caused by Princess Jing Mi.

Princess Jing Mi walked towards King.

"What's wrong?" princess Jing Mi asked as she gestured for Xena. Xena understood Princess Jing Mi's intention of wanting to talk to King so Xena walked away from the two of them.

"Because of you, I fell!" gerutu King's.

"Your concentration broke because it lied. It's what made you fall and not because of me" Princess Jing Mi said calmly.

"I'm not lying! I've been blind since I was a kid" King said.

"I know! Now your eyes are healed, right?" princess Jing Mi asked in an investigative tone.

"Since I was saved by you from the river, my eyes have suddenly healed" replied King.

What King said was not a hundred percent lie because Zhong Li drowned in the river, then the King spirit was trapped into Zhong Li's body and it was at that moment that Zhong Li's eyes could see clearly.

Princess Jing Mi also believed King's words. While she was with King at the river, Princess Jing Mi had already begun to suspect King's eyes could see clearly. Later at the palace dinner, Princess Jing Mi was sure she caught a glimpse of King's sparkling eyes as she gulped down the wine.

Princess Jing Mi was amazed by King's honesty towards her. When they were in the cave where the immortal grass was located, King could have just let Princess Jing Mi fight the black python alone so that the lie was not exposed, she said, but King instead jumped on the tail of the black python and helped Princess Jing Mi.

Princess Jing Mi believes King has good reason to keep pretending to be blind.

"Don't worry! I will keep your secret, " Princess Jing Mi said.

King believed one hundred percent in Princess Jing Mi's words.

The three of them continued on their way to the Taoist Temple. Xena picked up the King who remained pretending to be blind following Princess Jing Mi from behind.

***Too Tao***

King, Princess Jing Mi, and Xena arrive at the Taoist Temple at night. King was grateful they did not need to stay over the peak of the Kunlun Mountains and had already obtained the immortal grass for him and the snow lotus flower for Princess Jing Mi.

Hercules welcomed their arrival with a wide smile on his lips.

"A Tu! Quickly help young master Zhong Li clean up. I'll cook vegetarian dishes now!" Hercules.

"Come young master Zhong Li!" said A Tu as he led King to the guest room prepared by the young Taoist priest last night.

"Young master Zhong Li. Xena will treat Princess Jing Mi now," Xena said.

Xena asked King for permission to accompany Princess Jing Mi.

"Go! Don't forget the flowers!" said King.

King was sure that the snow lotus flower picked by Xena in the western white snow should be concocted into medicine before applying it to Princess Jing Mi's facial wounds and Xena was the most appropriate person to do so.

King also wants Princess Jing Mi's facial wounds to heal soon. Xena took the small bag containing the snow lotus flower from King's burlap pouch, then walked towards the guest room where Princess Jing Mi was staying.

***

A Tu was horrified to see King's clothes filled with blood spots. King's face was also bruised bluish so A Tu suspected King of danger while at the top of the Kunlun Mountains.

"Young master Zhong Li is injured?" ask A Tu carefully.

"Little bit. Quickly prepare warm water. I'm gonna take a shower" King said.

A Tu prepared a large water barrel filled with warm water for King. King soaked in it after ordering A Tu to burn the blue-colored Taoist clothes filled with those patches of blood.

King did not want the white pythons and his herd of small snakes to come to the Taoist Temple when he smelled the blood of the black pythons.

***The guest room where Princess Jing Mi stayed is***

Princess Jing Mi was changing her clothes in dry and clean clothes, while Xena took out a snow lotus flower from the small pouch carefully.

As King had expected, Xena had to make a potion from the snow lotus flower for Princess Jing Mi.  The four-petalled, white flower was mashed in a small dimple, a container that Xena often used to make potions. Then Xena mixes the dewdrop water and white pearl powder. Xena put the results of the liquid concoction into a small bottle.

"Daughter of Jing Mi. Every day apply one time this herb to the scar. Xena was sure that at most one week, her scar would disappear," Xena said to Princess Jing Mi who had finished changing clothes.

Princess Jing Mi was holding a small bottle given by Xena.

"All right!" princess Jing Mi said.

Xena smiled widely and walked out of the room.

Princess Jing Mi walked towards the mirror and sat in front of the mirror so that she could see the reflection of Princess Jing Mi's face there. Princess Jing Mi opened the mask that slowly closed the right part of her broken face. Princess Jing Mi could still vividly remember the pain she felt when the wound appeared on her face.
