Murim Recurve

"What happened, grandma?" Re'Kha looked around, failing to notice anyone else as she addressed the anxious individual waiting at the entrance of her house.

Upon seeing that she was fine, Mu'Tua sighed, "That time has come in the end. Your mother visited me in the morning."

"…What did she say?" All her emotions burst as for a moment; her voice turned emotionless.

"She'll arrive to talk in the evening. She didn't say anything other than to remind you to be here by then." Mu'Tua sighed, motioning for Re'Kha to enter the house.

Activating her Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha observed her surroundings, noticing the two servants, Suu and Sii work at the back of the house, drying the clothes. There wasn't anyone else in the vicinity as Re'Kha heaved a sigh in relief, finally speaking once they sat in the living room, "Grandma, I succeeded in regaining my sight."

The moment she said that, Mu'Tua grabbed her shoulder in reflex and pulled out the ribbon covering her eyes, noticing the closed eyelids were round, tearing up immediately, "Thank god…"

Feeling her wrinkled hands tremble as she held her shoulder, Re'Kha realised just how worried she had been. Upon seeing Mu'Tua shed tears, Re'Kha too teared up.

After some time passed, she wiped her tears, opening her eyes, watching the expression on Mu'Tua freeze up immediately.

"Your…eyes…" She muttered in shock, feeling pained at the change.

"The Elders from the Ki Clan already checked it. They said there's no problem with me, grandma. It seems to be a side effect because the Blinded Ghost had been using it for so long. So, you don't need to be worried. It's just a colour change." Re'Kha said, motioning for Mu'Tua to not worry too much.

"If only it were that simple," Mu'Tua grunted, "Colour means everything. Anything other than our four colours means trouble for you. There is a good chance you might be mistaken for someone not from our race."

"I can still hide it…" Re'Kha was just about to explain when Mu'Tua glared at her.

Mu'Tua spoke with a stern voice, using her hands to remove the hood on Re'Kha, looking at her bald self, "Are there any other side effects?"

"Yes," Re'Kha nodded, "My hair would probably turn emerald too. But it's okay, since…"

"This won't do," Mu'Tua shook her head, "I never asked the reason you have been removing the hair on your body for the past few months. But now, you have no other option but to do it every single day."

She glared at Re'Kha, "And, that's bound to damage your body sooner or later. Part of our lifeforce resides in our hair, so removing it like that will only shave your life away. Only when it falls off naturally would you remain unaffected."

'Is that why I felt uncomfortable removing it every couple of days by transforming into a Bisheen?' Re'Kha thought, wondering if that had been the case. She wasn't sure, but since Mu'Tua, a doctor said it, then there must be truth in it.

"There's just one way then," Mu'Tua said, dragging Re'Kha with her towards one of the rooms on the ground floor, locking the door behind her. She forced Re'Kha to sit on the bed as she opened the cupboard nearby, pushing all the clothes away before pressing on the shelf.

Soon, she pulled out the shelf, watching a faint wind be stirred up in the process, revealing a safe. And, placed within it was a box, looking inconspicuous, made from wood. Mu'Tua took it out with care, brushed its surface longingly once as she spoke, "I had used this when I was younger."

Seeing Re'Kha, she spoke, "Under orders, I had to infiltrate the land of the Treka. So, to do my mission, I was gifted some necessary tools."

The box seemed to contain quite a few materials, out of which, Mu'Tua picked up two. She gave them to Re'Kha, "I had to use these to remove my disguise the moment I returned home. I no longer have any use for it, but they would come in handy for you now."

The first one was a tiny box, spanning the length of her thumb. Upon opening it, Mu'Tua revealed a convex surface, shaped like a disk, the size of her eye, "This is a Magic Artifact made using Water Qi Essence and the eyes of a special beast that's grown in the capital."

"I don't know the name of the beast, but its effect is great," She touched the convex surface with her index finger, gently picking it up before motioning for Re'Kha to keep her left eye wide open.

When Re'Kha did so, she had to endure a lot to keep it open, fighting against her impulse to close it as Mu'Tua placed the item on her eye.

"I can't see from my left eye now," Re'Kha said as she blinked, feeling weird as the object was somewhat thick, preventing her left eyelid from closing completely. The sense of discrepancy unnerved her, for her right eyelid opened and closed the same as usual.

"Now, will it to activate, just like controlling a Magic Artifact. Don't open your left eye." Mu'Tua said, watching Re'Kha do the same as her left eye shone with a gentle blue radiance. Mu'Tua observed it, waiting for ten breaths before the radiance deactivated automatically.

"Open your eyes now." Seeing Re'Kha follow it obediently, Mu'Tua gently removed the object from her eye, watching Re'Kha open and close her eyes continuously to rid the unnerving feeling from before.

Mu'Tua looked at her left eye once, smiling as she brought a mirror, motioning for Re'Kha to take a look at herself, "What do you see now?"

Re'Kha looked into the mirror, shocked when she noticed her left eye was now blue in colour, just like what she had before losing her eyes to the Blinded Ghost, "H-How?"

"This is one of the items we use for our disguises. We have one for all eye colours." Mu'Tua said, "Though, it's only temporary. It only lasts for a day. After that, your eye colour would return to normal. You'll have to use it again after that."

Saying so, she placed the item on her right eye, making Re'Kha activate it, waiting for ten breaths before it deactivated on its own. After removing it, she smiled, noticing that the eye colour of Re'Kha had returned to normal, looking no different from other water-based Harmonisers.

From the 18th of August, the voting system will change. Power Stones would be replaced by Golden Tickets. And, every GT has an immense value that would directly support the novel's serialisation.

You can obtain it in the following way: 1 GT for spending 300 coins (Stacks up for every 300 coins)

1 GT by gifting worth 300 coins

1 GT for buying a membership

It expires every month, so cast it on Murim Recurve (You'll get a GT even if you spend on other novels, but you must put it here.)

If you have spent more than 300 coins last month, you'll be awarded one GT this month on the 18th. Don't forget to vote for Murim Recurve with that. I promise to release an extra chapter for every 20 GT. (PS. I have a 20 chapter stockpile~)
