The Palace in the Cloud Realm

Jiang Ying Yue sat under the same tree that stood near the shore of the river where she had been practicing to call out the spiritual essence of the water.

No matter how hard she tried, she was failing miserably in concentrating on her practice. Time and time again, her mind kept returning to all that happened the previous night between her and the Third Prince.

When she woke up this morning, her entire body was burning up and she was covered in sweat, all thanks to the Third Prince who refused to leave her dreams.

Just thinking about the dream that she had the previous night made her cheeks flame in embarrassment. She never knew that just a few words from Wu Xie would cause so much disturbance in her life.

"Why are you not practicing?" 

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice of Qing Shan as he appeared in front of her in thin air. He loved to do that, appearing and disappearing whenever he wanted.
