Sima You Yue did not know how long she slept for. All she felt was as if she had fallen into a deep, long slumber and she was in a dream realm. In that dream, there was a mirror which reflected her past life as she stood in the abyss of darkness. Scenes flashed before her, one after another and she stood there calmly, watching each fragmented scene, as if watching a movie. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream.

“You Yue, today is the day of the downfall of our Ximen Family. They have been plotting against us for a long time, so you are not responsible for this matter. No one will blame you for this.”

“Ximen You Yue, seeing your loved ones dying before you, how does that feel? Ha ha ha ha … …”

“You Yue, you have to live well … …”

“Yue Yue, no matter where you go, Little Roar will follow you.”

“Ximen You Yue, Die!”

Sima You Yue stood in the abyss of darkness as she struggled to listen to the exchange between the gentle voice and the voice laced with hatred as she gritted her teeth and bore through the pain. She felt as if her heart was slowly being torn apart. However, she tried her best to concentrate on the voices, she wanted to know who the voices belonged to, but in the end, no matter how hard she tried, she could not pry her eyes open, it was as though something was restricting her vision.

“Ahhh—!”

Sima You Yue forcibly flung her eyes open, and the restriction that binded her eyes dispersed along with the dream. She was panting heavily, gasping for breath, her whole body was drenched, as if she had just doused with water.

“Yue Yue, you’ve finally woke up! Wuu Wuu… You’ve scared Little Roar to death!!!” Sima You Yue was still groggy when Little Roar who was floating by her side suddenly dashed and nuzzled his way into her arms, crying and wailing loudly.

Sima You Yue’s thought snapped back to reality when she heard Little Roar’s cries as she held him gently in an embrace as she touched his fur and coaxed, “Do not cry, am I not fine already?”

“Wuu wuu, it’s all Little Roar’s fault! If I had not made you try to bind the Spirit Pearl, this would not have happened at all.” Little Roar sniffled and said in a self-deprecating tone.

Sima You Yue hugged him tightly and planted a kiss on his forehead, as she soothed him in a gentle voice: “Didn’t you do it all for my sake? It was for my own good, wasn’t it?”

Although the dream was very fragmented, however, the feelings she had for Little Roar seemed to have been cleared by a fog and she felt a whole lot closer to him. That feeling wasn’t just a mere link based on a contract, it had a depth that was as if they had been together for a long, long time, a special kind of bond had formed between them.

She stood up with Little Roar in her arms as she looked around, trying to figure out her where she was. She found herself standing in the midst of a strange new world – surrounding her were mountains, lakes, fields and a house. However, there were no signs of anyone else.

“Where is this?” Sima You Yue couldn’t help but ask in surprise as she observed her surroundings, realizing that they were nowhere near the Capital City that she had some knowledge of.

“Yue Yue, just now when you fainted, there was a bright light and it brought us here. I do not know where this is as well.” Little Roar replied honestly.

“You are inside the Spirit Pearl.” A childlike voice sounded out.

“Inside the Spirit Pearl? Who are you?” Sima You Yue turned around and did not find a trace of anyone or any animals nearby.
