Today was the day he would enter his body. He may later regret it, but he could no longer wait. His body was 14 at the moment, and from Gu Bao's observations, the space there, had gradually expanded. Though it had a high chance of working out, it still could end up as a failure. Well, why not try, eh?
So, Hua Shu tried. He put his right hand over his physical body's forehead, and started to transfer his life energy - his being - inside. The process was lengthy and tiring, as he needed to be careful. If he met any barrier or obstacle, he would withdraw. It could be dangerous and hurt the body. Gritting his teeth, and calming his mind, he managed to do it.
After four exasperating hours, he could finally breath! Truly breath, not only do it as an impulse (because, in his astral form he didn't need to breath). Hua Shu started spreading his energy throughout the body, so he could move. If he was normal, he wouldn't have to do it, but, as he was unable to 'feel' his limbs naturally, he needed to use his spiritual energy to help him. It took another two hours - good that he started at 4 a.m.
And at last, getting used to the body. When moving a finger becomes a job (without a pay), you get annoyed very quickly. But, giving up right now would be like giving up just before the finish line. Which would be pitiful. And he wasn't.
In an hour he got to move a toe, his right thumb and his lips. Not very much, but there's no rush.
...
While he was busy with moving his little toe, someone entered the room. At 9 a.m. a maid came here to feed him, but he was very distracted, so didn't bother to notice. At this moment, though he was concentrating, he could muster up a part of his mind to monitor his surroundings. Well, technically he didn't have to - he had Gu Bao 'spying' on the outside world 24/7 - but it was better to be prepared. In case the griffin wouldn't understand a situation, think everything was alright when in reality it wasn't - how he said: "Human nuances are weird and unreasonable, I could never understand them". Knowing the beast's nature, Hua Shu decided to sacrifice part of his consciousness, in order to know what's going on around him.
Even if he didn't hear anything, nor see anything, he could sense stuff. His spiritual perception was the greatest out there. He could even tell the whereabouts of inanimate objects, which he was surprised about, since in his past life he was unable to - that was his main problem there, as he was constantly bumping into walls, trees and furniture. Now, he didn't need to worry any more! What a wonderful world!
So, with his extra sensitive spiritual sense, he could tell that a person had entered his room. Not just anyone, but his brother! Startled, he took more interest in his guest. Hua Mifeng usually had training at this time, and would come only after his lessons ended. His schedule was quite tight, so Hua Shu wouldn't expect him here till 6 p.m.
'Gu Bao, could you tell me what he's saying? If he's saying anything.' requested Hua Shu. He was communicating with the griffin by a kind of telepathy that every spiritual beast and its master had. This speared him a lot of pain, as he didn't need to act on his mind force to talk.
Gu Bao, even if was residing in Hua Shu's body, wasn't deaf.
'Yes, master. Right now he's telling you about his day. He says:
'...but mother pressured him to let me come. She appreciates my initiative in coming here very much, I guess. Though, I don't think she realises that I like being here. She probably thinks I treat it as an obligation, or something, even if it was my idea to come here today! She's blind or she's ignorant; well, maybe just busy, since the clan depends on her heavily. Oy, by the way, you won't believe what happened last night! Sorry that I didn't came, but I was so pissed off! Ugh... That Hua Fei will kill me one day, seriously! She threw a plate at me! A freaking plate! Luckily, it wasn't one from father's collection - we would have much more trouble then. But, still! My back hurts now! You know, it's good you don't need to participate in those family dinners, they're terrible. They send chills down my spine every time I think about them!'
