Xiu Li was in utter shock, she didn't know what was real and what was fake anymore. She fell to her knees and started crying.
" Oh God, why are you doing this to me! " she screamed. Suddenly she heard some disturbance in the bushes.
" Please, " She pleaded.
" Please leave me alone, I beg of you, " She fainted due to fatigue for she had been traveling through different dimensions.
A few hours later Xiu Li slowly opened her eyes as she felt something warm and fuzzy hugging her.
As she opened her eyes she found a huge lion lying beside her clinging to her.
" Ahhh! " She screamed. She was terrified of seeing a huge lion beside her. The lion opened its eyes due to the disturbance of her scream.
He morphed into Lio the Lion prince when he woke.
" What's wrong? Why are you screaming? " He asked her.
Xiu Li was even more shocked now. When she was in the real world she thought that she could finally live a peaceful life after getting herself a job but then she was taken advantage of by her boss and killed by her boss's wife. Now she found herself lying next to a lion whom she and her other two spouses had saved when he fell from a hill.
" Lio is that you, " She asked in a low tone.
" Of course, it's me who else do you think it would be, " He replied in a joking tone.
Suddenly Xiu Li realized that Lio was naked as he had just morphed into his human form.
She quickly turned back and said, " Um, could you please wear something. "
Lio stared at her for a while. He then nodded his head and put on the leather skirt lying beside the cotton cloth they were sleeping on.
Xiu Li was about to ask Lio something when suddenly Lucas and Venom barged in.
" Is Xiu Li alright? " Lucas asked angrily.
" She's not hurt, is she? " Venom asked.
Xiu Li was surprised to see all three of them in front of her eyes. They all looked so real that it was hard for her to think it was a dream.
At that moment she remembered that there was a landslide on the last day of her stay in the beast world and that a rock had fallen on top of her and her newborn son.
" Where's Victor! " She asked worriedly.
The three of them stared at her with astonishment. Their faces became blue as she asked this.
Venom slowly headed near Xiu Li and said, " Xiu Li do you remember? "
Lucas quickly closed the door of the house they were in. Lio stepped back leaving Xiu Li confused.
" Guys, what's happening? why are you all suddenly so silent? " She asked.
" Xiu Li there's something we need to tell you. " Venom said.
Xiu Li was not understanding what was going on.
Lucas then suddenly came near and grabbed her neck choking her. " Tell me how did you do this! " He asked in anger.
" Please, let me go, " She pleaded not being able to breathe.
" Lucas let her go, we'll get nothing out of her if we use force. " Lio said with an evil grin on his face.
Lucas let go of her as Lio said this. Xiu Li was breathing heavily. Tears started running out of her eyes. She was truly terrified by this sight.
Suddenly an eight-year-old child named Laura opened her eyes crying.
" What did I just see? " She asked herself.
She quickly opened her drawer and took the picture of her mother and hugged it.
The picture she hugged was of Xiu Li.
Xiu Li was the child's mother. She had three kids and Laura was the youngest. Xiu Li was a single mother but had unfortunately passed away a few months ago due to a car crash.
Laura had been seeing the same dream of her mother and three unknown men from the day of her mother's death.
Suddenly a fat and ugly woman barged into her room screaming at the poor child.
" You little brat are you up yet? " She yelled.
Laura quickly got out of her bed in fear. After her mother's death, Laura and her two older brothers were taken in by their evil uncle.
Her uncle and aunt always used to abuse the poor kids. Even their daughter who was two years older than her used to bully her. Life was hard for her and her brothers after their mother's death.
The evil woman stormed toward her and snatched the picture of her mother.
" Please Auntie May, that's the only picture I have of my mother, " She pleaded.
" Well, you should have thought that before you woke up late! " She yelled.
She opened the window of Laura's room and threw the picture out.
Laura was broken. She only had one picture of her mother. She quickly ran outside in tears to pick up the photo back.
She took her mother's photo in her hands and said, " Mom I wish you were alive, life is hard for me and my big brothers here. " She said.
" Laura, what are you doing here outside? " suddenly A handsome boy about 14-15yrs headed toward Laura. It was her 2nd older brother Leon.
" Big Brother, " She said sobbing.
" Auntie is really bad, she threw mom's photo out. " She said.
Leon hugged his little sister and said, " Don't worry you don't have to suffer this anymore, " He said.
Laura's eldest brother Venom stormed outside after arguing with his uncle.
" Laura pack your bags we are leaving this horrible place! " He said.
" Don't worry bro I've already packed her stuff and put it in the car.
Venom carried Laura and put her in a car that was parked near their uncle's house.
Both the brothers climbed inside the car.
" Laura, we are going to drop you at your father's house, " said Venom.
" Father? " Laura asked in awe.
" Yes, sweetheart your father, " Leon said with an upset face.
" Daddy's alive?! " Laura asked in excitement.
" Yes, " He replied. Leon tried very hard to not show his upset face to his little sister.
All three of them were half-siblings since they had different fathers. They all had left Xiu Li alone to raise the three kids.
Leon and Venom were sending their little sister back to her father for her to live a peaceful and rich life.
A few hours later they reached the entrance of a huge and marvelous-looking mansion where a 36-year-old Lucas was waiting for them.
Laura got down the car and recognized the man as soon as she saw him. He looked exactly like the tiger man in her dream. She was terrified.
" Welcome home Laura I'm your father, " Lucas said with a pleasant and smiling face.
