[Yao doesn't answer that question right away. Instead, he turns to face the smoldering remnants of the stall, looking at Lu Meng from over his shoulder.]

Before I answer that question, allow me to show you something first.

[Turning his gaze back to the pile, he kneels down, and places one hand on the remains. He grits his teeth and hisses in pain as he feels the heat burn his palm. After a few seconds, he withdraws his hand and shows it to Lu Meng. It's only a first degree burn, but the skin is looks red and angry. But then the redness begins to shrink away as Yao's self-healing powers come into play. Soon his hand is back to normal with the exception of a tiny burn below his thumb, on his palm. The skin that was healed looks as though it was never marred at all.]

No, I am not a god. [Yao shakes his head.] I am more like a "guardian" or a "land spirit," as some have called me and my kind, except I am not a ghost. I am quite real.

[He rises to his feet. There's a nice, soothing warmth coming from Yao, because although he may be nervous, it also feels kind of relieving to lighten the burden of his secret, especially if it was his own citizen.]

The reason people would call me a land spirit is because I am China. I am the personification of our land.

[He then takes the time to examine is hand, but is surprised to see the tiny burn left behind.]

How strange... My powers must have been weakened when I arrived here, because back home something like this would heal completely.

[Oh well, at least it wasn't a serious injury. He'll just apply some aloe to it for the next couple of days and it will heal in time. And now he knows he should exercise even more caution if faced with danger.]
