Chapter 2: The Prophecy

" Miss, Young Miss Yan, are you alright?"

Yu Yan suddenly opened her eyes. She saw a fifteen years old girl with a clear big eyes looking at her. The girl put her hands on Yu Yan forehead and frowned.

" Young Miss, you are having a fever, you are burning".

Yu Yan chuckled listening to Li hua. If only Li Hua knows about her dream. Li Hua was a loyal servant of Yu Yan. She had saved her life when she bought Li hua from a slave market. Li Hua was sick and abandoned. Yu Yan saw her pitiful state and save her life. Now, five years had past since the first time they had met.

Li Hua walked out of Yu Yan's bedroom and quickly brought another maidservant, Han Chu.

"Han Chu, you stay with Young Miss. I will inform her condition to Master Yu.".

Li Hua again walked out the room with worried expression. Yu Yan could only saw her back quickly disappeared.

Yu Yan started to wonder about her dream. It was correct. It was a dream, a bad dream. She had never dream such realistic dream before. The dream was giving her a bad feeling. It felt more like a prophecy.

Only a few minutes past before she heard her mother's worried voice.

" Yan'er my baby, Li Hua told me about your fever. I told you should not play in the rain yesterday. Look what had happened to you now.".

Yu Yan can only bare with her mother's nagging. Her father on the other hands, just silently move towards her and put a small jade container containing a bright yellow pill on the small table beside her bed and ask Li Hua to served it to Yu Yan.

Ning Yin, Yu Yan's mother was a beautiful woman. She had a perfect heart-shaped face with a bright big eyes. She was wearing a cyan-coloured clothes with a beautiful swan-shaped jade hair ornament. Her mother looks like she was in her early twenties although her true age was almost 40 years old. It was because of her high level Martial Soul. Her Martial Soul was a level-8 Spirited White Swan.

In this world, all people that able to cultivate were able to slow down their aging process. They would eventually grow old and perish of old age unless they were able to increase their cultivation and become an immortal. To become an immortal, they would have to evolve their Martial Soul.

Her father's Martial Soul was a level-9 Spirited Golden Carp. Yu Bai, Yu Yan father would have to evolve it to become a Spirited Dragon to become an immortal.

Her father was looking like he was in his late twenties. Yu Yan knows he wanted to evolve his Martial Soul as soon as possible to match her mother's appearance.

Yu Yan loved her parents so much. They were the best parents she could hope for. The thought of their death scared her. She wanted to protect them.

"Mother, Father, I am alright. I just have a slight fever. The pill you gave me was a high-grade level-3 Recovery Pill right? It must had cost you a lot?".

Yu Yan felt bad that her father have to give her such precious pill just to treat her fever.

"Yan'er, you are my precious daughter. There are no pills, medicine or even treasure are more precious than you."

Yu Bai just gently patted Yu Yan hair and smile at her. Her mother also holding her hands and give her a assurance smile that her father was right.

After the heartwarming scene between the family, Yu Bai and Ning Yin return to their courtyard to let Yu Yan to have a rest.

Meanwhile on her bed, YuYan was alone when she suddenly saw her bracelet was glowing. It was a gift from her father for her 10th birthday. Yu Bai had saw the bracelet at a store and thought it suited her. The bracelet continues to glow and an image suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
