{A suffocating darkness descends upon the world, accompanied by sinister murmurs that echo through the air. In the midst of the darkness, a figure Stumbles and falters, overwhelmed by fear, desperately attempting to escape. }
{After an exhausting and seemingly endless run, the figure, now close to utter exhaustion, catches sight of a glimmer ahead. With unsteady movements and a last surge of strength, the figure races towards the perceived hope}
{The beckoning light that leads her onward seems within reach, yet so far, gradually dimming before her eyes}
Yue Jian
Princess, wake up, it's almost time, it's time for your departure.
startled awake, she opens her eyes and fixates on the sheer white canopy above. Her icy blue eyes, like precious gems, are filled with fear. After a while, she blinks, shedding the fear in her eyes, but a sense of bewilderment linger in her gaze.
Rising slowly from the bed, she sluggishly scans her surroundings, a blend of recognition and unfamiliarity in her eyes. The maid has never seen her like this before, and a hint of concern appears in her eyes.
Yue Jian
Princess, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, why not reschedule your visit to the mortal realm for another day?
The young lady, addressed as a prince, finally realizes someone is standing beside her. She walks over and sits down, raising her hand to massage her still somewhat disoriented head.
Ao Bingxin
What mortal realm?
Yue Jian
It's about your journey to the mortal realm to accumulate merits. His Majesty, the Dragon King, advised and instructed you thoroughly before attending the banquet at Yaochi yesterday. Do you remember it, princess.
Yue Jian
oh no, I told you not to drink that "worry-free wine" brought by the old turtle yesterday. Who knows what he used to brew it. Last time, the Red Carp drank his wine , and it took a whole five hundred years to regain his memory! I... I'm going to find him and demand an explanation!
The anxious maid continues to ramble, recounting the whole story, while the Dragon Princess sitting beside her finaly clears her cluttered mind and remember everything.
Ao Bingxin
Hold on, Yue Jian, I remember now. What time is it now.
Yue Jian
You only have fifteen minutes left before your departure at noon.
Yue Jian
Princess, why don't we abandon the plan? I think it's wiser for you to stay and cultivate here in the Dragon Palace. You are beloved and cherished, and it would be too arduous for you to endure the challenges of the mortal realm.
