Chapter 2: Pocket Dimension

Holding the box with a rose, vines and leaves carved on it in front of her eyes, Cheng Feng Yi found that it didn't had a lock. She didn't see where the lock is even when she turn the box upside down.

"Argh! What is this? Is it fun to give me hope, ah?" Annoyed by how fast the turn of events are, Cheng Feng Yi put her annoyance in the box.

A pity. Let's be quiet and give the box a moment.

Okay where back!

Turning the box for how many times, Cheng Feng Yi tossed it aside in annoyance. Making it her hope up then slapping her face that she can't open it, she's having mercy by only tossing it aside.

"Why can't I have a normal jewelry box instead? Why giving me this trash of a box?" Cheng Feng Yi didn't know what to do.

Glancing at the useless box again, Cheng Feng Yi can only do but to sigh. 'How hateful!'

Returning back to what she's supposed to do, Cheng Feng Yi start to rummage the closet box again. The box that was full of trash that she herself even question her past self where the heck did she get it.

After digging out and tossing all the trash put of the box, Cheng Feng Yi didn't have luck this time as she didn't even found at least one hairpin worth selling.

"Argh! This I really absurd. I'm really stupid in my past life. I don't even have a decent hairpin when my step sisters have as many as they want. Really. This debt must be paid." Even now, Cheng Feng Yi still lamenting by how naive she was back then. Believing all their lies when she can discover their fake mask just by comparing their life.

Why would a pampered and spoiled young miss talk to a beggar her? The naive Cheng Feng Yi didn't realized it because she only cared was her step sisters 'willingly' talked to her even though she's a beggar.

'Ah! So stupid!'

Plopping herself again at her hard bed, Cheng Feng Yi glance once again at the useless box again and sigh. 'Why did my luck leave when I needed it the most? And by the way, who give me this useless box again? Why must give a useless box if you can give me a normal one instead?'

Picking it again and staring at it for a full minutes, Cheng Feng Yi sigh again. How many sigh did she released just now? How can she survive outside of she didn't have even a copper coin in her pocket?

While imagining her blank and bleak future outside, Cheng Feng Yi felt something poked her finger and it bleed. When she turn her eyes on her hand that was holding the useless box, she see how her blood seep through the box. She thought it's only her imagination but soon it was shattered because of the light glow coming from the box. The look of the box change. The once dull looking box turn into a beautiful box where only priceless things are deserved to be stored inside. Also, the carvings turned to look alive. It's shocking transformation shock her as it was just because of her blood. 'What's happening?'

The box didn't give Cheng Feng Yi a time to think what the heck was happening when she found herself sitting in the middle of a forest.

"F*¢k! Where I am? Is it really funny to toss me every where? Just what is happening here?" Cheng Feng Yi talked to herself again because obviously she didn't have a person to talk to and worse she was tossed to this no-one-knows-place.

Since she has no choice, she didn't even know where she is, Cheng Feng Yi decided to explore this place and find a cave maybe to shelter. This place is unknown to her so of course the beasts here are also unknown to her. What if a cute beast turn out to be a savage? Using its cute and harmful looks to deceive its prey to fall in its trap? It is more safe to find a cave for a shelter.

Walking cautiously all the way down to the forest, Cheng Feng Yi found a lake instead of a cave. The lake had a crystal clear water with a few fishes jumping out creating a lively scenery.

Finding herself alone and looks like no other beast was near, Cheng Feng Yi decided to take a bath. She's sweating now and it was irritating. Her dress is sticking to her body plus she stink. She badly want to bath right now. Besides, she's the only one here that even the beasts she expected to see are no where to find.

Decided, Cheng Feng Yi strip all her clothes and carefully immersed herself into the lake.

"Hmm... It's so good."

A moan escape her lips by the time she soak her whole body into the lake like she's having a relaxing hot bath in a bath tub. She feels like her pores are opening and it makes her feel good. All the fatigue in her body was gone, replaced by the relaxing and soothing feeling.

Cheng Feng Yi didn't know how long she soak herself because by the time she wake up, the moon was high up in the sky.

"What? That long I'm bathing? Then why I'm not cold?"

Cheng Feng Yi was confused by the fact that she didn't notice the time she stayed in the lake. The moon was high up in the sky, meaning the water should be cold long ago. But it didn't resulting in her forgetting the time. But how was that to happen?

While dressing herself in her dress she wore before, Cheng Feng Yi notice a change in her skin. A large change happened.

The once yellowish skin become white as a milk and supple like a freshly peeled egg. The traces of her hard work finding ways to feed herself and working like a cow are all gone. Instead, what she was seeing now was a skin of a pampered and sheltered young miss had. How did it happen?

"What happened to me? Why did I suddenly become like a new person?" Cheng Feng Yi question herself like someone would give her an answer.

Even though she didn't know how she looks right now, just by feeling her face, Cheng Feng Yi knows how big her change was. Confused as she was, Cheng Feng Yi feel happy nevertheless. Why wouldn't she?

This also means when she come out of the manor, no one will mistake her as the left prime minister's good for nothing miss even though she really is.

Planning how she go back to her courtyard, a sudden voice sounded in the air.

"It's because of the lake. It purified you so now your true self was shown."

Mocking herself by getting scared of the voice, Cheng Feng Yi still replied even though her legs are shaking.

"Wh-who ar-are you?" It's evident in her shaking voice how scared Cheng Feng Yi is at the moment.

Who wouldn't if a place where you thought you're alone turn up to be housing a ghost?

"You don't need to be afraid as I'm not a ghost. I'm a guardian of this pocket dimension. I will be gone after I finish my task given to me by my last master." After the voice died down, a mist appeared beside her and turn into a human.

A human male to be exact. A god made human.
