Ch.12 Xiao Tian's Dream

Xiao Tian jolted up in his sleep.

The image of the woman in his dreams appeared to be a bit clearer now. The woman in grey smiled upon him in sheer brilliance as her hair hung loosely, billowing in the wind. Her eyes were downcast, and though she was smiling, she appeared remorseful, like she was guilty of a sin she had committed. In other words, she was smiling but crying inside.

He felt it as if he was wide awake. It had been so real.

His surroundings didn’t appear to be either Yilong or Muxue. They seemed to be from another area he had not seen before. Above the woman’s head was a cherry blossom tree, where birds were chirping melodiously and flying about the air. He sensed all his concerns and burdens being lifted and carried into the air.

“Son… I’m sorry.” The woman’s voice resounded in his mind. He wondered why he had never heard her so clearly in the past.
