"If you're hungry dear just come with me to the garden and eat, since you need plenty of energy as the path is very treacherous indeed", the old lady say gleefully as she kissed the boy on the forehead then left.

When the elderly couple left the room, Xiao Yusheng slump on the floor as he trying to contemplate this encounter.

Between the person that he just conversing and the clothes and room itself is very familiar to him.

Something that very important to his Identity.

"There's no way that this is real",Yusheng questions everything that happen to him despite witnessing with his two eyes especially the old man's punch just recently were very real to be just a dream.

Looking at his body, it seems many injuries were graved and who true owner of this body is very unfortunate.

But that is another matter as Yusheng's priority of importance as to confirm it.
