The flames instantly filled half the sky, obscuring the moonlight. The bridge burned section by section, falling into the water with a “sizzling” sound.
“No… Liu Yu, please don’t…” I struggled, surrounded by water mist, unable to cry. Liu Yu slowly stood up, the raging flames in the pond clearly reflected in his pure eyes, a corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile.
The entire bridge submerged in the lake, the tall figure in the pavilion slowly falling within the crazy flames…
“Hehe, this is how I call Liu Yu!” I chuckled, finding this “subordinate” quite interesting. I was about to get out of bed when I suddenly noticed my hand… it was so big!
Although it could be considered a delicate hand, I had only been alive for six years after crossing over, so I shouldn’t have such a hand. I carefully looked down at myself – not only my hand, but my entire body had grown larger, and my clothes were no longer prison garments… Could it be? Have I crossed over again?
“Young mistress, please spare this subordinate! When we meet the Chen King later, I dare not speak like this, or this subordinate would not have enough heads even if I had ten!” The “subordinate” knelt on the ground trembling.
“Names are meant to be called by people! Where’s Liu Yu, I’ll go see him.” I couldn’t help but laugh.
“The Chen King is in the rear garden.” The “subordinate” finally got up from the ground, wiping sweat and leading me out of the room. It was early autumn, with a refreshing air.
rancid smell of alcohol.
“Blue Miss, I’ll leave you here.” The “subordinate” wiped sweat from his forehead and waddled away.
Warm sunlight spread across the garden. I followed the smell of alcohol, walking into the garden. By a round stone table sat a figure in plain clothes, pouring wine from a jug.
A familiar plain long robe subtly revealing a faint proud bone of snow plum. A tall figure, a face as pure as white jade, beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, sharp eyes no longer showing any childhood innocence, but with an inexplicable sense of misery. I stared, stunned. What a graceful young gentleman, no longer the little brat who I once fed water.
