Memories

*"So, when are we going to meet with him?"

"Ah, let's see when I will have time, after all, we need to go on earth..."

"On earth?"

"Um, Prince Xian Chen is now on earth..."

"And when can we go there?"

"Xiang Li, let me make some preparations, and then I'll let you know and we'll go together."

"Ok, then, I will wait for you, just make it fast,"*

Even if Tianyu promised that it would make it faster, that he would make some preparation and then leave, it was looking like he was really taking his time because so many days passed and he was nowhere to be found. Every time she was looking for him he was busy or just not home.

Leaving the room, Xiang Li found herself face to face with Tianyu who was also leaving the room. It was not a coincidence that their rooms were opposite each other because Tianyu had ordered the room in front of him to be prepared for the young woman who was seriously injured at the time, thinking that this way he could supervise her in case of emergency. How could he know that this would cause him such a problem one day?

Seeing Xiang Li leave the room, Tianyu tried to quickly turn back but it was too late, Xiang Li had already seen him.

"Tianyu! Are you hiding from me? Did I do something wrong? Are you perhaps running from me?" Xiang Li shouted seeing that Tianyu was trying to get back into his room and somehow panicked.

"Ah, what are you saying? Why would I hide from you?" Tianyu said laughing but the smile did not touch his eyes.

Of course, he was hiding! He didn't want to face her. He was afraid that once he met her, she would again ask to go to earth to meet Xian Chen.

"Ah, that's good then, I thought you were hiding from me because you didn't want to go to earth."

*Ah, exactly what I was saying!*

"Ah, that..." he said laughing nervously, "wait for some time, now I am really busy, I have to meet someone."

"With who?"

"You don't know them anyway, they are business meetings"

"Where are you going now?"

"Ah, water realm..." Tianyu answered nervously, hoping that Xiang Li wouldn't ask him to go with him. It was enough that she was nagging him in the heavenly realm for him to go to earth, he wouldn't want her to nag him with the same thing in the Water realm

"Can I come too ?"

"Ah, I think it would be better to stay at home..."

"Please, I don't want to stay here alone anymore," Xiang Li said, pretending to be sad. In no case will he let him escape now that he has found him. It was clear to her that Tianyu was hiding from her.

"But..."

"Please, can you take me? please..."

"Ah, ok" Tianyu said, sighing hard, he was feeling that he will have a hard time soon. Don't misunderstand, Tianyu enjoyed Xiang Li's company, but since she found out about Xian Chen, she insisted on going to meet him and this thought did not give him peace.

Somehow, he had a feeling that once Xiang Li met Xian Chen, many things would change. That once Xiang Li and Xian Chen will meet, Xian Li will not return to the heaven realm.

Maybe it was selfish of him to keep Xiang Lin in the heaven realm, but living with her for so many years, he was not ready to let her go. He was somehow dependent on her, he waited for the morning to come just to see her smiling while she was watching the crystal river, he waited for the moment when the table was set just to see her eating. Truth to be told, before he brought Xiang Li to the castle, he rarely ate, he didn't take care of himself, and he was a cold person, but since Xiang Li came, he has changed a lot. He felt that once Xiang Li would leave he would return to the way he was before because he had no purpose in his life. Now he had a goal, he wanted to protect Xiang Li, but if she leaves, he will have nothing left. At least that's what he felt at that moment.

"Are you ok?" Xiang Li asked, seeing him sigh heavily. She didn't understand why Tianyu was hiding from her but she guessed what it was.

"I'm ok don't worry" Tianyu said and closed the door to the room, "Let's go!" he added and grabbing her hand he went outside and summoning his sword, he took her in his arms and flew towards the water realm.

Arriving above the water realm, Xiang Li saw an incredible field with many flowers, a crystal clear river, and the forest seemed magical.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Tianyu said smiling but Xiang Li looked lost.

*"Master ..."

"Hm?"

"It's so beautiful ..." Yu Bin said, looking down at everything.

"I can't stop looking at it, it's so beautiful and magical, isn't it master?"

"Yes, it is!" Master Bao Fang, looked tenderly behind her.

Yu Bin's long hair fluttered like magic and her smiling face captured Bao Fang's heart.

"I wish I could learn to fly. After I learn to fly, I will take you with me to show you the magic of our world."

"Um, one day."

" Why not now ?" Yu Bin said, leaning slightly on Bao Fang's chest.

"That's a secret." Bao Fang said, whispering in her ear.*

"What is this ?" Xiang Li said, shaking. Some images suddenly appeared in her head. It looked like she had been with someone here before, it was a woman, but who was this woman? She had called her master, she was beautiful, but what were them both doing in the land of water? Is it possible that she is from the land of water? But Tianyu found her on the ground.

Along with the memory that appeared, a lot of questions also appeared and Xiang Yu didn't know where to start.

"Are you ok ?"

"Ah, I'm ok. I was just surprised by this place. It is so beautiful." Xiang Li said smiling. She didn't want to Lie but it was looking like Tianyu would get sadder if she told him that she just remembered something. Just because she wanted to meet Xian Chen made him run from her and hide for so many days , telling him that she remembered something, can make him hide again.

"Do you want to go down for a while?"

"Can we?" Xiang Li said excited but then she froze.

*"What is this " Yu Bin shouted in surprise

"This is… reality..." Bao Fang said, smirking.

"Reality? Master, what's going on?"

" This place is known as the place where darkness shines.

"What ?"

" Here, my dear, you will have to fight for your life," Bao Fang said, smiling devilishly.

No flowers, no rivers, no bright fish. The heavenly place has now turned into hell.

Lots of living corpses were coming out of nowhere.*

"STOP STOP , WE CAN'T GO DOWN, WE CAN'T GO DOWN, WE WILL DIE, WE WILL DIE" Xiang Li screamed in terror , the last images in her head really had a toll on her. That place was nothing like magic , it was hell. That woman that was hugging her while flying, that woman that she was calling her master tried to kill her here.

Was that master of her trying to kill her? This thought made tears fall on her face uncontrollable , somehow it was hurting so much.

"We are not , we are not, Xiang Li relax, what happened, are you ok?

"This is hell"

"What?"

"This is not magical , it's hell, let's go"
