3 XM

A smile blooming on her face, Xuanmei shrugged and stood up. Grabbing onto the male's hands, she lifted herself up as she brushed the imaginary dust off her, saying, "You should probably go now. They'll come through and break the door any minute now... Poor door, what a waste of money..."

Fengxuan laughed, flicked his sleeves then stepped through the door while sighing.

"Who knew my sister became smarter in only a day... And also became very stingy with her money, too."

The garden was beautiful. A stream of turquoise emerged from between large trees, bushes and the like, the leaves from the trees shiny, and like green arrowheads emerging from a wooden bow, the archers shot in unison and green spread throughout and painted the secluded world of greenery, and as leaves fell, they sailed on the river, raindrops sat on them as if they were passengers. As the leaves swam by, they suddenly lifted off, took flight, and was blown gently in the wind.

The 'passengers' then departed, dripping down from the emerald green leaf drop by drop. Amid each green leaf and soft, delicate petal, butterflies danced around in the sun, as the light coming from it reflected and enhanced the colour of everything beneath it like a magnificent king shining light and bestowing upon only the best for his subjects. The squirrels darted around, hiding from the sunlight and running up trees as they settled in for the day, returning only at night to steal some acorns.

Strawberry grew on the luscious green locks of mother Earth, like a blooming red flower crown. Near the patch of strawberries, a table with two chairs each on the other side of the table facing each other. The two chairs were definitely lucky to have such a good view, as, beside it, a wooden bridge sat on the ground beside the stream where the tables were placed, specifically, a bridge made of sandalwood.

The smell of dew as it dripped from the grass was overwhelming, and when mixed with the scent of faint lavender washing through the air, seemed heavenly. A moon gate was placed outside the garden, intricate and ancient, never looking out of place with it's silver coloured shine. A blinding sight to see, it is. Translucent as the finest paper, the quill- like leaves that waved in the warm summer air rested on an ivory mini Pagoda. 

(A: After writing this, my brain was the emptiest thing on planet Earth. not like it wasn't in the first place, but like...)

Inside, a raven haired man in white silk robes that faded to blue, golden lining and buttons with a simple incision embroidery at the bottom that spelled out two letters; 'XM', was sitting, holding a cup of tea.

Sipping the tea lightly, he glanced up, his onyx black eyes locking onto something that was slowly descending.

Smiling faintly, his eyes shone with curiosity as he sat up.

"Movement of the girl's soul? A new host has taken Xuanmei's place, I see. As expected. It happened last time too. Well, mayhaps it's time to reveal myself,"
