Life Drain System

    Walking into the imprisoning technique, he says. "I should have done this long ago. Your crimes are more than I can count, but in hopes that you would become better your fellow disciples and I have put up with much your mistakes. Now without embarrassing yourself any further accept your punishment."

    Seeing him walking in, she thinks to herself. \'Now is my chance! I can escape.\' Having such thoughts she gets up, and runs toward the other end of the wall, causing Shin to shake his head in disappointment while still walking.

    Running away from the patriarch, the lady runs directly at the wall. Thinking to herself. \'I am almost there.\' Then, hitting the wall, she is launched back, and her body slides back until she is laying before his feet.

    Without further delay, Shin squats down thinking. \'*sigh, I never wanted to do this to you. You have brought this upon yourself.\' Feeling that he should do this by hand rather than using his chi from a distance is why Shin has gotten so close rather than staying outside of the cage. Thus he extends his hand and guiding his chi to the tips of his first two fingers, he jabs at her dan tian, causing it to shatter, and her chi blowing like a breeze outwards from her body in every direction.

    Meiren and Rei watching this unfold before them try to absorb the whole experience. Meiren even says to Rei with her chi. "Rei, I hope you memorized this, as it is a rare thing. Normally one would be killed in her situation, but this is a worse punishment for cultivators. Although this punishment causes the punisher to get killed through some scheme by the punished sometimes, hence why it is rare."

    Rei quickly comments. "It certainly is interesting, and it does seem like it would cause trouble for people in the future. Plus if they have sensitive information, I can see why they would be killed instead as dead men tell no tales."

    For Meiren, she saw this as ignorance, thus to fix this she says. "You are right and wrong. It is safer that way, but memories can be sealed if one is worried about that. Of course they could be unsealed, and resurrection is also possible, both are troublesome so sealing and killing are both useful techniques for cultivators if they want to avoid such problems."

    Meanwhile, Shin walks back to them after taking the bag off the mortal lady laying on the ground. Upon getting back to the two, asks. "Would you mind teleporting her to the planet beside us? I do not care where."

    Quickly answering his question Rei answers. "Not a problem. System teleport her to the nearby habitable planet." 

    The mortal body instantly disappears from the vessel, and the system says. "It is complete, she is in a forested mountain range resting."

    Hearing this, Shin sighs in relief, and Rei asks the question on his mind, while Meiren has a guess as to why. "Just curious why did you go so easy on her if she caused you and your people so much strife?"

    Answering his question, Shin says with tears rushing down his face. "I already sealed her mind, so she will not remember anything except what basic knowledge mortals have. You see, she is my daughter, and looks just like her mother. Long ago when I was a mortal, I fell in love with a mortal woman. She was an outcast because she was very unattractive even among mortals but to me she was a treasure. Her love and kindness were worth more to me than anything else in the world. She had a heart of gold, and I will never forget my love who is dead now, but I have no idea and wonder how my daughter became this way."

    Meiren quickly tries to comfort him saying. "You are a great man, and I am sure your love would be proud of your efforts. However you cannot blame yourself for your daughter, you tried your best, but she has made her own choices. Just think of it this way, maybe this is the life your daughter desires. To be a mortal that is, as one is less restricted in their choices."

    "Thank you." Shin says, while kneeling down to hug the female snow leopard. Then a few seconds later separates from the hug saying. "Sorry for that blunder. I should not have done that."

    Feeling a little weird, Meiren says. "While males are not supposed to touch in such ways females, I forgive you, as I kind of understand your grief. Mine is a bit different, but painful not the less. I was stolen from my parents a week after birth, and as far as I know they were killed."

    "I am sorry to hear that, it is a painful experience to go through." Shin says before continuing. "My parents where killed by bandits when I was eight, they hid me under the floor boards. Later I joined a sect, and started my journey in life."

    Having both been through such experiences the two feel as though they are bonding just talking about their past. However Rei intercedes, as he has something to say before Shin leaves. "I just wanted to say thank you. You have really helped us out here, also I am truly sorry about what I did before."

    "I have forgiven you before, however you must forgive yourself Rei. You are a good man, but you made mistakes, just be sure not to make them again. Grow from this experience and that would be good enough for me." Shin says, hoping that even if he could not help his daughter, maybe he could help someone else better themselves and grow.

    Feeling much better, Rei answers. "I will better myself, and become the best I can. Now, I will let you two get back to your conversation. I must get working on a few things in the mean time."

    As Rei is walking away moments later, Shin says to him. "Before you go, let me say this. I will send you an alchemist, you are on the right path after all. Have a nice day." 

---- Meanwhile Elsewhere ----

    Shen hu says to Huoli. "Honey, you are looking tired. Get some rest, and I will join you soon. You have already awoken 20 of these mortals. If you push yourself too much it might harm you and the children."

    Agreeing to what he had to say, Huoli says. "You are right, I will rest over there by the wall. Do not push yourself too much."

    Nodding, Shen Hu, says. "I will be over soon, just get your sleep. Once a few more wake up, I will send them over with the others to get working on repairs. Now sleep well my love."

---- Elsewhere A Few Hours Later ----

    *Crick *Crick *Crack!

    "*Yawn, what is going on now?" Yin mumbles as he breaks from his deep thought process. Looking around the room, he sees nothing, and so he gets up to stretch his body a little. Moving closer to Yue, he sees a large crack across the ice, not deep enough to affect Yue, but any more and it will. Thus Yin immediately exclaims as he starts the freezing spell he used before. "Oh no, what happened?! If this is not found out it may happen again!"

    Meanwhile, hearing Yins\' worried loud voice from the hallway Rei rushes in, as he just happened to be passing by. Once in, he immediately asks. "What is going on? What happened?"

    Yin quickly says with clear worry in his voice. "For some reason a crack appeared in the ice on Yueliang, and I do not know why. I am trying to fix it now, but we need to find out why!" After saying this, and casting the spell, Yin takes deep breaths calming both himself and his breathing.

    Hearing this, Rei trying to remain calm says. "I will go look for Blake, and see if she can help make the room colder or something, or at least see if she can figure out why this is happening."

    Regardless, Yin asks. "Are you not able to figure anything out, I thought you all were genius level people? Or is there something that I am missing?" 

    Rei answers on his way out of the room. "We are each different, while I am good with tech and machinery, Blake is good with the science of the more mystical side of things. She works on making the impossible possible, while I just advance existing machinery, and programs. Each of us are geniuses in our own respective fields. It is a gift that our race is born with, but that does not mean we can use that in other fields, now please watch of Yue, and make sure nothing else goes wrong. Thank you for your hard work, and see you soon."
