"Rong'er?" He rubbed her face gently as she slowly opened her eyes revealing their reddish color.

Her soft voice traveled through his ears causing his heart to stir and beat violently. "Ling….."

He stared the girl in the eyes as he smiled brightly. "Rong'er." He kissed her sweetly and passionately as she hooked her arms around his neck in a loving embrace.

"Ling….I can't return yet." She spoke weakly and softly as if her connection was breaking.

Ling Yiyao knitted his brows in frustration as he stared at her. "Rong'er what do you mean you're here now."

She stroked his cheeks as her eyes slowly started to turn black. "Ling my soul has split into two parts of myself, this body is not yet strong enough for me to rejoin myself therefore I have aged it to an appropriate age of cultivation...please help." Her voice trailed off as her hand slipped from his cheek falling to the bed. Her once red eyes now black as she slowly closed her eyes falling into a deep sleep from overworking her body.

Ling Yiyao displayed a deep sense of sadness as he stared longing at the girl on the bed. His purple eyes turned moist but he quickly whipped them before any tears could fall.

He kissed the girls face lightly as the jewel flashed bright then diminished. "Rong'er." He whispered quietly before sitting on the edge of the bed to sleep.

The Heavenly Pavilion stirred causing Quijie to quickly stand up from the edge of a pond. He dropped the white flower he was holding as he smiled brightly. "So that's what needs to be done master, considerate it accomplished I shall bring you back together." He quickly ran towards the nearest door and pulled it open. "Starting with rejoining you with the cultivation master of Heavenly Divine Beasts!" He laughed as the door closed behind him. As it sealed the beasts eyes glowed green as it flashed across the small pond.

Xia Lingxiao walked through the bustling city towards the Imperial palace where the 4th prince Lin Shaoze was said to be visiting. He walked towards the gates were he was stopped by the palace guards.

"Halt!"

"What is your business here?"

Xia Lingxiao looked up towards the palace and spoke sternly. "I am a close friend of the 4th prince from the Xiao Dragon Country and would wish to see him immediately."

The guards looked towards each other and snorted in disdain.

"LEAVE IMMEDIATELY YOU COMMON RAT THE PRINCE HAS NO SUCH FRIENDS!"
