On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 103: Unintented Mission For Underwater Love

"I cannot believe am lost," she said getting angry. After quarelling with Huo, Aqua did not think twice but started her journey to return back to the mountain top. The woods were covered with mist and Aqua had nothing but a stick, and two tiny daggers with hidden in her boots. She tried not to be scared as the she crossed dense forests, rainforests, and bushy slopes which is the habitat of some blood thirsty beasts. She was sure that Huo was not following her after pissing him off. "Damn it," she cursed shaking her head. She took a deep breath and walked forward. 

The birds chirping, echoed around her. And the howling wind passing by. The rustling sound of the leaves and the echo of a water fall in the distance. "Where am I?" She wondered. She kept walking forward and finally reached an exit. "Wow, nice place," she thought and kept walking foward. There was a waterfall, trees, huge statues guarding the places, caves. "Wait, this is Water Realm's power resource," she said looking around. "How could I forget the way,  I should have realized soon," she said and walked past the statues that did not stop her, knowing well who she is, being the guardian of the power resource that also comes includes her powers. She walked around the place, and stood in front of the waterfall, looking at the cave behind. She was drawn towards it. She walked through the water, and touched the walls of the caves. The caves opened its formations and welcomed her in. The walked inside down the narrow path that was not lit. Aqua somehow managed to see through the very dim lights the entered the cave. 

She reached the centre. A pond on the left side with lilies and on the right side of the cave was a rock and a harp. A golden harp. She took some steps towards it settled down on the floor. She started playing the harp. The same chords she used to play for her family. Then she recalled about the times she spent in the caves alone for few years. Tears streamed down her face. Guiding him unknowingly and in the end, disappearing in his arms, before she reincarnated as a human in the human realm. He indeed was clueless. The look on his face, how he did not recognize her and how he just tried to hold her filled Aqua's head. She stopped playing the harp and got up. She wanted to distract her thoughts. She took off her cloak but not undress. Wearing her clothes, she entered the pond to meditate for sometimes, surrounded by the beautiful and fragrant water lilies of purple, pink and white shades. She laid afloat on the surface, closing her eyes. The roof of the cave that had an opening which let the sun rays in also brought in cool breeze which helped Aqua to breathe well. Aqua relaxed but failed to feel the presence of a person in the cave.

Huo who lost her from his sight was sure that she would have chosen to return back to the mountain alone. But he also was sure about how she would get lost since it was him who took the lead everytime showing the way. And he broke the rule when he failed to track her down. He used a talisman technique he learnt from shifu when he was young. He used magic to locate her and the spell as he was sure about it, took him to the power resource of the Water Realm. The place he found refuge to train and cultivate. Once he reached the fall crossing the statues without causing any suspicions, Huo used his powers again to enter the cave. He solved the cave's entry formations successfully and walked down the narrow path. He has been hearing the music for a long time, played in harp. He identified them immediately recalling it from his memory. Those days he spent in the place, being trained by a spirit. He was always grateful towards her. "But she disappeared right in front of me," then it suddenly occured for him. He realized it was none other than his girl. As he reached the centre, he witness a scene once again in his life. A lady lying in the pond surrounded by the beautiful lilies of various colours and sizes. His heart skipped a beat as he set his eyes on her. Carefully without making a single noise, Huo walked towards her in the pond. That same features, ths woman and same feelings. He held her hands which woke her. She was shocked to find him standing before her. She looked at him who pulled her closer. He did not think twice and crushed his lips against her. Kissing her deep. She struggled in his arms, but he kissed her anyway, taking her lower lip. She lost balance and slipped underwater and he followed her. "I failed to recognize you," he said. "Forgive me," he apologized and kept kissing her. She stared tapping his shoulder five minutes later, unable to breath. Her palms also hurt being held by Huo tightly. She finally managed to push him away. 

"Are you crazy?" She said and hit him on his chest. She got up and walked away from the pond, drenched in water. 

"Not glad that am here with you?" He asked her. His face kept reminding her about their past together. All the kisses and nights spent together. She walked away from him but he took her hands and apparated out of the cave. 

"Did you just break the ru..." Aqua began to ask him but was stopped by shifu who stood in front of them.

"Shifu," they both bowed.

"Huo'er," shifu called him.

"I will accept anything, " he said looking straight. 

"Find the Grand Prince and bring him here for me immediately," Shifu ordered. 

"Why?" Aqua asked her master, confused. Wondering if there has been any trouble faced by her father alone at the palace. 

"Why me? Send her," he said. 

"Is that how you accept things?" Shifu asked him back. 

"Anything but matters related to Aiden," 

"You don't trust people," shifu reminded him.

"Yes I still dont, not a soul," he blurted out. 

Aqua nodded her head. "Yes, i shouldn't trust people anymore either, i have had enough of the shares," she said. "I will go bring him here,"

"You will mediate and unlock your cultivation level, Huo will find the Grand Prince tomorrow for me," Shifu said fearlessly and left the place. Huo took Aqua's hands and he apparated back to the mountain top. The sun was about to set. Shifu was not around, but Huo took Aqua to their meditating area and settled with her, to do double training before he left. She did not reject him. They started working together and trained. For each levels they unlocked, there has been a difference in the flow of the blood felt by the two equally. The crystals charging their bodies. After meditation and traveling with the senses, Huo asked her to practice sword with her. Neither of them had perfection in the new skills they were learning. Her mixed martial art and his tai chi. Aqua was easily exhausted and stopped practicing. She collapsed down on her bed. Huo let her be and decided to leave to the Water Palace, he wanted to see what was happening in the Realm himself. Little did he know what Shifu was doing to him. 

"Aqua," Shifu came for her, standing outside the hut. 

"Yes shifu," she got up and hurried outside. 

"Nothing, " he said smiling. His arms at the back, he walked around the place with Aqua on his heels. "Are you tried?" He enquired.

'Not really," Aqua lied. 

"Practiced with Huo'er I see," 

"Forgive me," she said immediately to have done it without his permission. 

"You two are the pain my ass," Shifu said openly. "Has always been like that, not a day if peace when the two are around,"

"Then why are you determined to teach us once again, together?' She asked him. Shifu nodded and smiled, looking at the distance. 

"Because I want you two to always be prepared for anything,"

"What is happening in the Water Realm ?" 

"What are you talking about?" Shifu tried to change the subject. 

"Shifu," she called him and stopped walking. Shifu turned back to look at her. Her eyes turned blue and her appearance changed quickly, with water circling around her right. She had unsealed her powers. Something didn't feel right. The way he sent Huo away asking for Aiden and shifu's tone, his eyes, nothing felt right and it worried Aqua more. She tried to threaten her master with her kill weapon.

"Aqua," Shifu gasped. Even though she has the mediocre cultivation it is more than enough to kill a state, with her crystals,"

"Ohoo, are you suspecting me now?" Shifu raised his voice, hiding his fear. 

"What is going on?" She asked again.

"You will regret this, listen to me Aqua, listen to me very carefully, " he said using his power to control hers. But it got harder and harder for shifu to tame her. 

"You will tell me now," Aqua said and gave an evil smile. "Oh yes you will,"
