Chapter 51: Luan, How Can You Walk on Water?

After checking that Luan and Ingrid weren’t injured, Maira patted her chest and sighed with relief, “I’m glad you two are well; I thought you were hurt. Okay, go take a shower and then you two will tell me what happened.”

“Yes, mom. I’ll tell you everything as soon as I take a shower and change clothes,” Luan said frankly.

Luan went up the stairs with Ingrid. His room had a bathroom, so he used that one. Ingrid, on the other hand, went to the bathroom on the second floor, which was bigger.

Arriving in his bathroom, Luan took off all his clothes and turned on the shower. At first, he removed the seawater with hot water, then, he took the liquid soap and started rubbing his body, washing off the dried blood. To make it easier, he used his Qi together with the water to help detach the dried blood from his skin.

Ingrid, on the other hand, had an easier time of things, since she managed to concentrate while being alone in the bath and made the blood come out under her control.

Ingrid was feeling an indescribable sensation when she returned. She felt very powerful and the blood that circulated in her veins seemed more potent and gave her a good feeling. From examining her body, Ingrid noticed when she took a shower and cleaned her skin, that she made herself more beautiful again. It was as if her skin had become more nourished, giving it an air of youth and beauty.

Ingrid, in front of the mirror, bit the thumb on her left hand and blood threatened to come out, but she controlled it and made it take the shape of a little ballerina who started dancing. She then made the blood return to her finger and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the wound had already closed.

‘This is very magical!’ Ingrid smiled with satisfaction, then she put on a firm expression, encouraging herself to train and stay strong.

Still naked, she started dressing in the bathroom with sexy red lingerie, then wore gym pants and a navy blue T-shirt and tied her hair in a high ponytail. After leaving, she came across Luan.

Luan wore black sweatpants, gray sports shoes, and a gray tank regatta. His hair was a little messy to the right, which gave him a relaxed look.

Luan looked at her, dumbfounded for a few seconds without saying anything. This made Ingrid uneasy.

“What is it?” Ingrid snorted out of shyness.

“Nothing, let’s go down.” Luan turned and left.

“…”

Ingrid stamped her foot in protest, not understanding anything, and went down the stairs right behind Luan.

Downstairs in the dining room Catharina, Cristina, and Maira were eating breakfast. When Luan and Ingrid arrived, they all looked at the two briefly but continued to eat.

“Sit down and eat first. We can talk later,” Maira said as she looked at the two.

Luan just nodded and sat down next to Cristina and started eating bread with ham and cheese.

“Thanks.” Ingrid thanked him, sitting next to Luan and Catharina.

Maira said suddenly, “Luan, after we’ve talked about what happened to you and Ingrid, let’s go to the study room. I want to show you the projects and the proposal made by the company. I’ll try to help you as much as possible until you get used to it.”

“Thank you, mom. I already intended to ask for your help and study the projects and proposals,” Luan said with a slight smile. Although he hadn’t slept since yesterday, he didn’t feel tired or sleepy. This was one of the many advantages of being a cultivator.

“Something happened? What happened?” Catharina did not fail to notice that something had happened to Luan and Ingrid. It made her curious, and she couldn’t help asking.

Luan finished filling a glass with tea and took a sip. He did not answer Catharina’s question. Instead, he ate a piece of bread, leaving Catharina looking at him impatiently. He laughed and said, “Why are you so anxious? Didn’t our mother say we would talk about this later?”

Catharina gave up on getting any answers out of Luan and looked at Ingrid.

Sensing Catharina’s gaze on her, Ingrid sighed and said, “It’s a long conversation. There’s no way to sum it up in such a short time.”

Catharina was a little disappointed, but she swallowed her curiosity and ate her breakfast very fast. After washing the dishes she had used, she waited for the rest to finish.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Maira, Catharina, and Cristina were looking at Luan and Ingrid, waiting for them to tell them what had happened to them yesterday.

“Mom, remember I said that something very big was going to happen in less than 4 months, right?” Seeing her nod, Luan continued, “Yesterday after having dinner at a restaurant with Ingrid, we went to the beach for a walk, and that’s when it all happened.”

Luan paused deliberately and continued: “A gap in space a few meters from the shore of the sea down by our property has opened up. I wanted to investigate, and Ingrid went with me, walking on top of the water until we got close, but how would I imagine that the moment the two of us approached the crack, it would start pulling Ingrid in? I pulled Ingrid with the intention of taking her away from there, but the gap expanded and came towards us, and we were pulled into the gap, appearing elsewhere… in a forest full of blood.”

“Wow!” Maira, Catharina, and Cristina blew out a surprised breath. It was hard to imagine that this had happened.

“This is true?” Catharina looked at Ingrid when asking. This all seemed too fanciful to be real.

“Yes, that’s exactly how it happened.” Ingrid nodded and added, “When we arrived in this strange forest, everything seemed to be made of blood, even the trees were made of leaves of blood, and thanks to Luan, we were not submissive in a lake of blood and walked on top of the blood until we reached the dirt floor.”

“Ah yes, how did you walk on the sea and on the blood, Luan?” Maira almost forgot about it; she didn’t know how her son could do something like that.

“Remember when I talked about Qi? So, I use Qi on my feet to let me step into the sea without sinking. It is something like a buoy, not unlike that.” Luan explained himself briefly. He would not explain the whole process, as it would take time, and they still couldn’t use Qi to do something like that. Only Ingrid right now had a chance to learn how to do it.

“So, what else happened, Luan?” Catharina loved adventure stories, and hearing that her brother and sister-in-law had an adventure in a strange, alien place, she was very excited.

“Wait a minute. I’ll get something from the car so it will be easier to explain,” Luan said and left without waiting for them to speak.

After leaving the hall and going to the garage, seconds later Luan returned with a very large backpack that he had made with the skin of the bloodthirsty lion.

There was dried blood all over the bag, and when he put it on the rug, his mother was about to scold him, but the words got stuck in her throat the moment Luan opened the bag and showed what was inside.

“My God! Is that monster bones and teeth?” Cristina was the first to show a reaction. She was a little startled to see those huge, sharp teeth.

“Not exactly a monster, just some mutated animals,” Luan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Catharina stared at Luan. This guy gave her one surprise after another, and she honestly was very surprised. Now, apart from his gaze and that inherent noble aura, she could no longer find even a small trace of resemblance to her memories of that ignorant and incompetent spendthrift son of a wealthy mother. Now, not only was his strength unfathomable, even his manner of speaking and expression were different. Did he change so much when he remembered his past life?

Although she thought so, Catharina still felt her brother’s traces, mainly the way he spoke to provoke her.

“What, have you never seen a man so elegant, that you became mesmerized?” Luan looked at Catharina and provoked her.

“Humph!” Catharina snorted and said in her mind, ‘No, he hasn’t changed one bit!’

“Keep talking. What else happened?” Maira asked when she saw her son standing there in silence.

“Then, as you saw, we found some mutated animals. Ingrid and I killed some while trying to find our way out.” Luan summed up a little of the fight against the mutated animals and continued, “However, on the way we saw many birds, and knowing that up ahead there could be a powerful beast, Ingrid and I fled to a cave. In the cave…”

Luan continued to tell everything that happened in the cave for the next two hours.

Maira looked at Ingrid, that brave girl, who faced great difficulties in order to be strong and receive an inheritance from a powerful being. As a woman, she could understand why Ingrid did this; she didn’t want to be a deadweight, since Luan had described that he fought alone against the bloodthirsty lion. It also made Maira like this young girl even more.

Catharina and Cristina looked at Ingrid with admiration. They didn’t dare say that either one of them could do the same.

“Mm, Ingrid. Can you show some of your new power?” Cristina was curious about this.

Ingrid thought about it and said, “Sure, no problem.”

In the next moment, she did the same thing she had done before in the bathroom. She bit her left thumb, and the moment the blood started to flow, she controlled the blood and made it take the shape of a ballerina and started making it dance, turn, and even stand on the tips of its toes. It was a spectacular sight and quite magical.

Cristina and Catharina were delighted to see this. It was just too cool.

And when Ingrid brought the blood back and the wound healed, they were surprised once again.

“Whenever you want to use your powers, are you going to have to make yourself bleed?” Maira was concerned about this. A small cut was no big deal, but what if she wanted to use more blood?

“No, I can also do other things as well as control some of the blood of a person I touch,” Ingrid said. She still wasn’t sure how many things she could do, but she knew it wasn’t simple.

Before Maira said anything in return, Catharina exclaimed exaggeratedly, “So my sister-in-law during ‘those days’ will be the most powerful?!”

Ingrid blushed when she heard that, especially the part where she called her “sister-in-law”.

“Foolish girl, do I see what you’re talking about?!” Maira pretended to be angry and hit her daughter on the head lightly and laughed quietly.

Luan also laughed a little, as he thought it was funny. Cristina, on the other hand, was more discreet, she kept her laughter hidden, turning her face.
