Light And Illusion

The woman turned her back at the fireplace, sitting down on the armchair.

A warm light emitted from behind her back, casting a shadow of her figure while hiding her facial features at the same time, no longer showing her frightening appearance.

She gestured for Su Xue Er to sit down on the other chair.

Su Xue Er sat down and looked at the woman.

Not knowing why, Su Xue Er suddenly felt a bit relieved and warm inside herself.

"Do you want to see your future?" the woman asked.

"I don't" Su Xue Er shook her head.

"Why is that? To be able to take a peek into destiny, isn't that such a wonderful thing?"

"I came to break free from my fate, so I don't want to know what it originally looked like"

The woman stopped for a bit, then asked: "Then, are you unsatisfied with your current life?"

"What part of it do you mean?"
