Feng Xiaosi would soon be going down the mountain to practice talisman-making. She nestled against Granny and haggled with her. Granny gently stroked her head. "There are plenty of blood vessels in the world whose blood can be used to make talismans. Why worry about materials? What if we let Rong Yu go?"
"That's a terrible deal." Feng Xiaosi rolled her eyes.
Rong Yu's blood was the best, and had always been reserved for her alone. How could she just give it away?
"Tell me, what else do you want?" Granny asked fondly.
Little Si made a bold demand, pestering Granny into promising her a whole list of benefits, then waved her hand and tossed her own blood vessel to someone else.
On the day she left the mountain, Rong Yu stood far away and refused to see her off.
One stood high above, the other below. The wind swept past, and the scent of blood between the young man's lips mingled with the powdery fragrance of the lovely girl beside him, then slowly dispersed.
At the time, Feng Xiaosi was only curious about how blood used in talismans could be drawn out that way. She thought she'd find a blood vessel to try it on once she got down the mountain, and left without looking back.
A thousand years flashed by. With her brush soaked in golden and silvery blood, she drew countless talismans and became the famous Feng Gui, the Talisman Immortal. After breaking her oath, she returned to Talisman Mountain.
"Granny, I want to draw one more talisman, the kind I learned to make as a beginner." Feng Gui's gaze darkened. "Rong Yu's blood is what I need."
"Oh? Your childhood blood vessel? It changed hands several times, the blood ran dry, and it died long ago."
"Died?"
Feng Gui was at a loss.
No mountain of treasures in the mortal or immortal realms could fill the emptiness in her heart. After wandering in circles, she thought of a beloved childhood possession and remembered she had come back to retrieve it.
It was gone?
When her life came to an end, she closed her eyes, still remembering that childhood blood vessel.
If only she could go back.
