First off: I apologize for the long hiatus, but I've been rather busy lately and inspiration has been rather sporadic. Then I had a few issues with my laptop deleting my works and I had to rewrite several chapters and updates. So now my mood to write is basically Meeeeh. I am hoping this will tide you over until I can finish the updates for HSL and a couple of my HP stories. Again sorry for the delay!
Jiang Yanli's name: 蜜 Mì means Honey, Sweet
I am focusing on the Honey meaning for Jiang Yanli since in ancient times honey is considered a luxury for Royalty. Since the Jins liken themselves to Royalty, at least Jin Guangshan and his like minded idiots, Jiang Yanli would be someone 'of value' in their eyes due to how rare she is as a person and for her beauty. Honey was was also said to have healing properties and thus was selfishly safe guarded. I have a small image in mind of Zixuan, after he gets off his high horse, realizes how precious and rare Yanli is and almost jealously protects her from those who would seek to take her for themselves. And Yanli is often portrayed as helping to heal those with her limited medical skills, but also through her cooking. I mean she kept the Feared Yiling Patriarch in check with her soft, sweet nature and her famous soup. Honey is also considered the "Sweetest Kiss of Death" and considering the domino affect of Yanli's death, is it much of a stretch? Tell me what you think!Nie Huaisang's name: 雀 Què means Sparrow, Bird, Lentigo
For Huaisang's name, I'm focusing on the Sparrow meaning, which has another word for it, but anyway! I am using the Sparrow meaning because of his love for birds and art, but also because he's mostly seen with a Sparrow for a companion in most of the art I've seen of him. And I kinda like the idea of Mingjue having picked the name for him when he was born because Huaisang was so small and as delicate as a Sparrow when he was born. I have this little image of Mingjue, who is much older than his brother, being nervous holding a tiny newborn Huaisang, looking panicked because he doesn't want to accidentally hurt his little brother, his little Sparrow. What do you think?Wei Ying slowly woke up to the smell of delicious smelling soup and sat up. He was confused for a moment seeing he was now laying on a bed, dressed in simple white robes, his hair left loose and his things have been neatly folded and left on a small chest of draws against the wall. Beside his bed resting on a pillow big enough for the two of them, was Yin Lianhua and Jingyu, both curled up alertly watching the others in the room. Wei Ying sniffles slightly, the sound alerting the others to his awake state and the woman in light purple hurries over, carefully kneeling down beside him to check his forehead.
"How are you feeling? No more pain?" She asks softly.
"I'm okay... where?" He wonders, still a bit dazed.
"We're at Gusu Lan, Sect Leader Lan sent an escort when he received my letter that we had found an injured Omega and that there were potential Rogue Alphas still roaming around." the Omega in black and green says, fiddling with his fan in a seemingly nervous gesture. But Wei Ying, who's spent his whole life carefully reading others around him to avoid being found out and to avoid being tricked, saw that while he was a bit nervous, he clearly knew what he had been doing.
"Grandmaster Lan requested to speak with you when you had awoken and felt ready for company. We've been sitting with you since you admitted to not being comfortable around Alphas." the Omega in purple says while the one in white and red carefully brings over a bowl of the delicious smelling soup.
"Here, Gongzi." he says softly, clearly shy and nervous. "Jiejie wants to re-examine you as well, she was able to heal your injuries, but she wants to be sure that they are all set properly. She also wants to apologize for giving you a sleep tonic without your permission..."
"Thank you... Um, who are all of you?" He wonders.
"Oh, how rude of us! I'm Jiang Mi, Jiang Yanli. I am the Eldest child of the Yunmeng Jiang Kingdom and affianced to Lanling Jin's Jin Zixuan." the Omega in purple introduces herself. "As you can see, I am an Omega."
"Greetings, this one is Wen Ning, Wen Qionglin of Qishan Wen, but I'm from the Dafan Branch Family...." the shy young man in red and white says, stuttering a bit as he spoke. Wei Ying cannot help cooing at how adorable the younger boy was, and he's certain he is younger by at least a year or two. Wei Ying wants to just mother the boy, maybe bully him just a little bit.
"I am Nie Que, Nie Huaisang of Qinghe Nie, the Heir to my brother, the current Blood King." The Omega smiles sweetly.
Wei Ying blinks, huh.
"Who are you, Gongzi?" Yanli asks, as she comes back from sending off a servant to get the Grandmaster and Healer Wen.
"Oh, sorry, my name is Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian--" the sound of glass shattering startled them all and they turned to the door where a wide eyed older man stood frozen.
"Di- Did you say Wei?" The man, a Beta with a neatly groomed beard stood, the tray of tea he had been carrying left forgotten and shattered at his feet.
"Ye-yes..." If Alphas made him uncomfortable due to his last moments in his last life, Betas really made him uncomfortable because his gender had all but been eradicated due to a jealous Beta who could have what he so greatly desired, and thus had to destroy it. "That's what my Mama said was my name..."
".... I see..." The man looked like he had seen a ghost, but at the same time like someone had just shot his prized pet dead. Wei Ying's not sure how to feel about this, but then the man shakes himself and kneels down to clean up the mess, handing the tray to a servant as two more come to properly sweep the spot, making sure no shards remain and a new tea service is brought in.
"Grandmaster." the Three Omegas bow to him, the stark differences in their birthrights quite clear, but nevertheless they execute them with practiced perfection. Wei Ying manages his own clumsy bow while still seated on his bed.
"Rise," he intones as he bows and together they all rise as one. "I am Lan Zhe, Lan Qiren, Grandmaster of the Gusu Lan Sect and acting Sect Leader." he says as he comes to sit by the bed. Wen Qing, who had been walking with him quickly gets beside the bed, waiting for Wei Ying's initial flinch and for him to slowly offer his wrist to her. "We've scoured the area, whoever attacked you, Wei-Gongzi, they've long since fled. Do you recall anything about them? Scars, tattoos, perhaps a symbol of some kind on their clothes?"
"It was dark, they acted like a pack of wild dogs...." Wei Ying pales, recalling how the Alphas had all looked at him in the cafe, wide wild eyes as if they could not believe what was in front of them and then how they charged him, especially the police officers who chased him in front of the Sonic Bus that killed him. Wei Ying quickly shakes his head, closing his eyes as he tries to shake off those memories. He's alive, he's fine, Granny promised him. He can trust Granny. "They kept calling me unflattering things, chasing me, but then I fell and barely took the time to use the last Moon Tear I had and just as quickly got up and ran again when I meat with the others..."
"I see." the Beta sighs, looking very upset and at the same time so very tired. "We will continue to look... I will need to send out a notice and have the boarders patrolled more regularly. Healer Wen, how are his injuries?"
Wei Ying blinks, having forgotten the female Alpha was there.
"The Moon Dew I gave him healed him almost perfectly, there are only a few lingering bruises and a sprained ankle, but nothing a bit of rest, some bruise cream and some pain killers will not fix." She assures him. "His core is also perfectly fine, no damage to his daitian or meridians, which is a miracle, considering his fall, but it might be due to how strong his core is that he even survived the fall in the first place."
"Good. Do you have a party with you? Anyone whom we can contact?"
"No... I need to get to a Temple so I can at least leave an offering for Granny..." Wei Ying says and everyone looks stricken, taking it that his grandmother had just passed and thus he was alone in the world.
"We will arrange it, but for now rest and stay as long as you desire. We are hosting all the Young Masters and their top 10 disciples this year for the Lectures, you are more than welcomed to join us." Qiren offers because he's not about to kick out a lone Omega to face the dangers of the world, especially if he is in fact a Wei, perhaps the very last Wei. This year was going to to be chaotic, he just knew it...
