C4 Yi City

Lying on the ground, a girl wearing a simple white flower embroidered robe and blueskirt, with hair tied in a ponytail, with blue ribbon, and see-through bangs on her forehead...



People passing-by her, but didn't stop by to even look or care who she is, but there's a man in white robe, with his eyes was blindfolded with white cloth, a short grey-eyed girl with bamboo stick and a man in black robe stopped by...

The white man bend down as he uses his sense scanned of who and what was blocking his way, A Qing helping him, "someone passed out on the street~...it's a girl??~...her face~...seems familliar~...hmph!...her face structure, it's like I'm feeling that bad guy face!~...and Daozhang??~..." she tilted her head, Xueyang spat, "little blind~, you're talking nonsense again??~how does this ugly bitch resembles me??~..."

A Qing snapped, "shut up, bad guy!..."

"you two~, stop fighting~..." Xiao Xingchen told the two gently, a qing pouted, Xueyang stuck her tongue out to A Qing, Xiao XIngchen focused back on that unconscious girl, he sighs, "who could be this cruel letting a girl sleeping on the road like this??...she must be injured~..."

A Qing, "I don't feel any wounds on her skins, though~...her skins seem smooth~..."

Xiao Xingchen feeling her pulse, "she's alive~..."

Xueyang, "what a stupid girl sleeping on the road like this~...if it were me I would just stepped her into a paper~..."

A Qing spotted at Xueyang's nonchalant words and ignored him...

"gu niang~, please wake up~..." A Qing wakes the girl, she shook the girl slightly, as the girl giving responds, as if she was just sleeping earlier, "ngh~..." the squirmed, as she placed her palm on her eyes at the bright sunlight, "where am I~..." didn't realised the people she wanted to see were there...

Seated up, rubbing her face as she put down her hand, she looked around her, "Yi City town??~..."

"You're awake, Gu Niang??~..." A voice rank her instinct, that voice is so familiar to her, that she monologued, 'father??~...' then a high-pitched girl's voice heard from behind, "you're in Yi City, Gu' nIang~...why are you lying on the road??~...did anyone do bad things to you??~..."

'sister qing??~..."

"she's stupid of course~..." voice that sounds mocking her, she can't recognised him, but from what she knew, her mother would talk like that...

"hey, are you deaf?~...you're not going to answer aren't you??~..."

"shut up, bad guy!..."

"my friend, please, be nice~..." Xiao Xingchen speaks gently...

'it's worked?!...I was really sent back into time to spend time with mother and father!~...I could see mother face to face!...but..I can't tell them my identity~...'

The voice of the lady suddenly heard came from nowhere, as if she's the only one could hear her...

'DO NOT USE YOUR POWERS, THAT COULD SHORTEN YOUR LIFE EVEN BEFORE THE ROSE PETALS FALLEN COMPLETELY...NO ONE SHOULD KNOW, YOU'RE A CULTIVATOR~...'

'I can't use my powers??~...they can't know I'm a cultivator too~...'

'then, I should forget that I'm a cultivator~, and become a new identity~...'

XingXue sighs as she's plastering her bright and cheerful personality, from now on she will become the new bright girl...

She turned around with beam on her face, waving and muttering "hye" to the three people, controlling her emotions when seeing the one who give up his life to bring her out to the world...

XingXue walked closer to the men in white, she reached for his hand and placed it on her face, "hye, da ge~...my name is Ran, you could call me, Ah Ran~..."

Xiao Xingchen letting the girl took his hand and placed it on her face, he knew what she's going to do, he smiled, "hm~...Ah Ran~...a beautiful name~..."

Ah Ran let down Xiao XIngchen's hand as she smiled, and take a step back as she bowed, "thank you, da ge!~..." she grinned, Xiao Xingchen smiled and patted her head...

"by the way~, where you're going??~..." she asked with her huge innocent eyes...

A Qing, "we're going home~..."

Xueyang felt left out, "no need to know, stupid girl~..."

A Qing uses her bamboo stick to hit Xueyang's head, "hey, little blind!why are you hitting me?!"

"You're a jerk~..."

Ah Ran chuckled, "aww, you two makes the best lovers!~..." She fangirl, clapping her hands...

"Wh-what do you mean lovers?!...this ugly girl here?!..."

"Who wants to be a lover with an ugly jerk like him??~..."

Her pointy finger on her chin, "hmm~...believe it or not, Xiao Gu niang will cry the most if Xiao gege die one day~..."

Xueyang glares at her and plastering expression of disgust on his face at A Qing, A Qing hit him with her elbow...

Xiao Xingchen hold Xueyang's hand gently, "enough~..."

Xueyang, "yeah, sure, sure~..."

A qing stopped fighting with Xueyang...

Xiao Xingchen turned to Ah Ran...

"Ah Ran, me and my friends are going to eat at a restaurant, do you like to join us??~..." Ask Xiao Xingchen gently..

Ah Ran nodded with a grin, "hmm!~ I want to!~...i ve been wanting to eat yesterday, but i cant find any foods...sleeping on the road help me ease a bit~..."

Xueyang, "you dressed like you're from the noble home??~...why dont you just go home and eat foods there?~...",

"Im a maid~... I fought with my mistress and she fired me~...so i was cast out~..." Making up stories about herself...

Xueyang feel an instinct in him, emotions appears in him at this girl's misery, but he shrugged it off...

Xiao Xingchen feel pity for this girl, she looks so young...

He smiled, "its okay, sweetheart, come with us~..."

"Hmm, da ge~..."

At the restaurant, Ah Ran, Xiao Xingchen, Xueyang and A Qing were eating their foods...

Ah Ran was eating ravenously, not caring about everyone's staring, she was so hungry, she do not know why she believes she did eat before taking her life at the lotus pier earlier...

Xiao Xingchen smile as he patted Ah Ran's shoulder gently, "eat slowly~..."

With a mouth full of food, she speaks, "it's okay, da ge~...eat!~ eat!~ eat!~..." ushering everyone to continue eating...

After done eating, the bowls were taken away by waiter, now they are conversing...

Xiao Xingchen, "gu niang~...why don't you stay with us??~..."

Xueyang sighed and speaks nonchalantly, "daozhang~, are we going to feed her too??~...don't you see how she ate??~..."

Xiao Xingchen chuckled, "it's okay, my friend~...this world is dangerous for an innocent and fragile girl like her~...nasty male alphas could take advantage on her, I don't want her to experience an ugly history and have her future turned twisted~...."

Xueyang silenced at Xiao Xingchen's words, he looked at this girl, her face resembles him a lot in some ways, at the same time there's slight resemblance of Xiao Xingchen, looking at her she seems like 10 or 13? If they didn't find her earlier, she would become like him...

Empathy appeared in him, his eyes showing a bit of emotions but he controlled it, unrealising an unknown instinct appeared in him....he never felt this before, but as he set his eyes properly at this girl, there's pure feeling appeared within him...however, realising what he was thinking, he immediately shrug it off...

He sighs as he looked at the girl, "hey, dumbalina~..."

Ah Ran looked at him with her round innocent eyes, "hm?~..."

"do you want some candy??~..."

Ah Ran beamed with her eyes sparkling at the words 'candy', "canDY?!~... I love candies!!~..."

Xueyang smirks as he dropped one candy from his sleeve as he feed Ah Ran the candy-like he fed A Qing...

A Qing smiled as she sees Ah Ran's happily chewing it, "it's tasty, isn't it?!~..."

"hm!~...it eased all troubles!!~...I used to eat candy whenever I have trouble with that bitch mistress!~...it helps me to cope with my depressions~...I guess it reminds me of my mother, who eat candies while he was pregnant with me??~..."

Xueyang lifted an eyebrow, "he??, your mother..." Ah Ran cutted, "I was born of a man~...mother died giving birth to me~..."

Xueyang, "your mother is a male alpha??~..."

Ah Ran shook her head, "nope~...he's an omega~..."

Xueyang, "ah~..." 'this girl looks so much like me~...even the way she coped up with troubles~...candies makes me happy~...'

Xiao Xingchen smiled, "sure, kids!~...let's go home now, it's getting dark~...Ah Ran, let's go~..."

"hm, dage!~..."

Xiao Xingchen and the others went home at the coffin city...

Having her whole days spends with her mother and father, she misses them alone, now she get to act like a child around them, makes her happy, that she forget she was the crystal phoenix Lan TianXing...
