The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

Training areas were also erected, where everyone from the Dara's age and above were made to learn combat skills which would help them survive…

Though most of them hadn't unlocked their meridians, but they were still given many physical exercises;

Like lifting, sprinting, and falling from heights, which would serve to increase their physical durability and mental fortitude, and all of this took about another month before it was all completed…

What came next was the farming which was an essential part that would determine how long this new settlement would last…

Edible spices and herbs were planted, as well as those needed for healing and also poisonous ones which were handled by selected few of the children who were handpicked by Aunt Lin herself…

All the children made vines into ropes which would enable them pass time…

They also made bows, arrows, spears, and even wooden staffs, this was basically every weapon that could be possibly made out of wood and vines…

They even managed to make whips, which was just thick, flexible vines fastened into a hole bored into a light weight wood, and this whip could actually do some real damage;

Aunt Lin was able to put five, six inch long gashes into the ground when she tested it out, and everyone within the settlement were perfectly pleased with her innovations…

The two beasts that came with them were also made to work and everything was going smoothly and fine which was pleasing to everyone within the settlement, after all, this was the result of their relentless hard-work, and it was a pleasant sight…

Every night, they would set fire into the ring on the outside which not only provided a little ambience for the sentinels to see incoming enemies, but also warmth for the entire settlement, and served to ward away the Dark Qi that usually permeate out of the ground at night…

Dawn the next day…

It's been more than two months that the settlement had been completed, and the Obuns and Humans have been coexisting…

But this morning was going to be different as Dara was quickly woken by Aunt Lin who brought a little kid over to him…

They have tried all they could but were unable to diagnose what exactly was wrong with the little girl;

She was seven, and fair skinned [-thanks to the environment and the kind of food she's been eating] but now, she was burning up, and her skin seemed to be rosy red, whilst she had also been said to be writhing in pain…

Thus, after being unable to identify what was wrong, not to even talk about curing it, they instinctively turned to Dara who had been given little sleep throughout the last two month, despite all their promises to let him rest;

"What is it again?"

Dara frowned slightly when he heard footsteps and an anxious knock on his door; 'This better be good news' He thought to himself;

'Who am I kidding, they have never woken me with good news since '

Dara sighed in frustration as he finally opened the door only to see Aunt Lin carrying a little girl in her embrace;

"We don't know…"

"We were simply out picking herbs to grow on our farm when she found a new kind of herb and plucked it…"

"But the moment she did, a little fume was ejected from the flower and got into her lung, and that was when it all started…" Aunt Lin explained;

"That means it is poisonous… But why is she unconscious?" Dara asked;

"She was in so much pain, so we decided to knock her out to ease the pain…" Uncle Min answered;

"What about the healing herbs you have found?"

"I tried that already but it only seemed to heighten the effects of the poison…" Aunt Lin added;

"I would have told you to try the method of curing poison with poison, but there are two major drawbacks to such methods…"

Everyone traced the origin of the voice and realized that it was the First Elder who suggested it, and whilst they were very disgusted by using such a technique on a little girl, Dara was instead very interested;

"What are the drawbacks you just mentioned?"

"Firstly, the only type of poison that can be effective is any one that is stronger than the one afflicting her…"

"And then secondly?"

"Secondly, we have to be able to cure this stronger poison…"

"But judging from the way she had responded to those antidotes, I don't think there is a poison strong enough in here, and I don't think there is an antidote of that level either…"

Everyone brooded over it but after a long while of coming to no plausible solution, Dara suddenly suggested;

"What about the Dark Qi, can it work?" He asked;

"Well, it should be able to, but it has to be very potent, and you should know also know that if you plan on dispelling it the way you dispelled mine earlier, then you must understand that you would be absorbing not only every shred of the Dark Qi you put in her, but also all the poison that is currently afflicting her…"

Dara heard the First Elder's warning, but as he looked to the innocent girl who still had a frown of agony on her face despite sleeping, he decided to give ti a shot…

"Alright, I would give it a try, but I only need one person here with me should in case I need anything, everyone else can go back to work…"

"Well, we are all busy, and the only free person at the moment is Aunt Lin, so I suggest she stay behind…"

Ji Wang spoke and everyone agreed and thus, the trio were left alone as Dara finally looked to the girl and wondered how he was supposed to begin the procedure; though, the Dark Qi he was planning to use was the one in his hand, but he wasn't sure how he should administer it…

He couldn't dip his finger into the girl's nose, and neither could he dip it into her mouth, also, he didn't want to touch any of her body part, and thus, a new dilemma began…

Aunt Lin also watched along quietly trying to see how Dara planned on administering the Dark Qi into the girl;

But after thinking about it for a while and the girl started twitching once again and sweating, Dara simply pushed the Dark Qi towards his head as the veins in his neck became black whilst he was also frowning in pure agony;

Then the moment the Dark Qi reached his face, he drew it into his lips and planted it on the little girl's lips…

The Dark Qi surged into the girl through her throat and straight into her lungs and that was when she began to twitch intensely like someone who was having seizures; Her face went pale white and so did the rest of her body that wasn't covered in clothes…

Dara and Aunt Lin could barely watch on, but they knew it was the Dark Qi going to work within the little girl, whilst Aunt Lin was wondering how Dara could have such a poisonous substance within him and still act like it was nothing serious...

Dara was instead wondering how long he had to wait till the Dark Qi had finished its process of eroding whatever poison it was that was ailing the little girl…

After half an hour, Dara decided it was time and simply kissed the girl to suck away all Dark QI within her as rosiness returned to the little girl's complexion whilst Dara on the other hand began to burn up and sweat... 

After he was done, and whilst the girl was sleeping perfectly fine, Dara wanted to step outside to get some fresh air and stop sweating when he felt a sudden jolt within himself, and instantly, Dara knew what kind of poison he had just sucked out of the little girl;

"Eh?"

"What's going on?"

Aunt Lin asked when she saw Dara looking at her with true, unrestrained lecherous intent, as a matter of fact he was visibly ogling every inch of her body without trying to subtle about it in any way;

But rather than answering her directly, Dara simply stood up and what Aunt Lin saw, not only made her jaws slack open, but she also blushed so furiously that her whole body felt like it was on fire;

"Aphrodisiac!?"

Aunt Lin couldn't believe what the little girl had found was an aphrodisiac…

"Take her away!"

Dara almost growled as every single fiber of his being felt like letting loose on anything female around him, and Aunt Lin didn't need him to say any more before quickly grabbing the little girl from his bed and bolting out of the area…

She got to the human residential area and dropped the girl with Ji Wang before heading back to the plateau where she met Uncle Min…

They could both hear Dara's growling as he was almost going insane;

"What's happening in there?"

Uncle Min met Aunt Lin on his way to checking up on him, and she explained everything to him, something that caused Uncle Min to blanche in terror…

If the girl had inhaled aphrodisiac directly from its source, she would still be able to handle such a potent stimulation because she had yet to fully develop her sexual urges, but for someone like Dara, it was going to be a total nightmare;

"What should we do?"

Aunt Lin asked her husband, but he only had one solution in his mind and Aunt Lin knew what it was;

"No way!" She protested;

"But this wasn't his own doing…"

Uncle Min retorted, and to some certain extent was speaking the truth, because they had not only deprived Dara of a good sleep with their ineptitude in many occasion, but today when he was finally going to get a good sleep, they brought him another problem, and one he was unjustly suffering for at the moment…

So, both of them felt guilty to a certain extent, and since everything happened during Aunt Lin's watch, it was attributed to her carelessness and thus her fault…

"Is there really no other way?"

Aunt Lin asked trying to avoid the problems she was about to cause Dara;

"Argh!"

Dara's groans once again echoed throughout the living area from his room;

"You have to do it, or he might hold this against us!"

Uncle Min blurted and left the plateau, leaving Aunt Lin behind to solve the problem…
