She looked around, she really didn't know where she was. Was it Xuan Yuan's doing, sending her here? But where is this. this place feels foreign and at first glance feels comfortable and she feels like this place. even though she had only been here for a few minutes.
The silence, serenity and peace that enveloped this room, made her feel calm and safe. But still she was worried. Who knows she has accidentally entered without being invited to someone else's house. How will the owner of this house react if they see her in this room?
At first glance the room she was in was now like a bedroom. Everything is neatly in place. And that made her even more anxious, because she had so bravely gone into other people's houses and was now in one of the bedrooms.
She tried to hear the sound from outside the room. But this place seemed to be in a very remote place. Not a sound was heard, not even a small sound. Where exactly is she? Her heart was beating fast, her body was shaking.
In the midst of her panic, she heard a female voice from outside the room. Softly humming in the distance. But the hum was slowly getting closer and closer. It wasn't long before she heard footsteps outside the room. Her heart, which was already beating fast, was now beating faster, as if it wanted to jump out of her rib cage and be freed. She broke out in a cold sweat, her panic taking over her until she could no longer feel her fingers gripping the hem of her shirt, numb.
The footsteps and humming stopped right in front of the door of the room where she was. She sat there, like a prisoner waiting for an execution session. Her body shook violently. And the thing she didn't want to happen. The bedroom door creaked open. Her gaze seemed to be seeing at a slow motion, she saw in a panic the door slowly opened, the outside light coming in from between the slits of the open door. Inviting goosebumps down her spine.
Eyes wide open, anticipation. When the door is wide open. There she saw a woman standing there, with piercing eyes looking at her. The spotlight seemed to want to bite her and then plunge her into a pool full of water until she felt suffocated and couldn't breathe, then died. Perhaps it was the execution sentence that crossed her mind at this moment. it felt terrible but at least she didn't die mercilessly at the swords of the vicious man near her house earlier.
"Who are you?" The woman's booming voice filled the once calm and peaceful room.
Nhamso trembled at the voice of the woman standing in front of the door room. She is confused, should she answer it, if so, what should she say. In terms of the clothes, she was wearing were completely different from the clothes she was wearing. Made her even more sure that she was in another place, not in the Tham country, nor in the Banquan country. The extreme panic that ran through her body sent tremors down her spine.
On the other hand, as soon as Ru Qing opened the door to Phoenix's room, she saw a female figure she didn't recognize, and her brow furrowed. Staring intently at the woman sitting in the middle of the room with a face full of fear. How did she get into Phoenix's room without her knowing. How dare she enter to Phoenix residence.
Having not heard her answer, without waiting, Ru Qing enter to the room and approach the woman. when she was near and was about to violently pull her out of the Phoenix residence. Another figure appeared before her, this time a man. Yet another intruder who boldly trespassed without permission. Her brow furrowed deeper. But before she can scream, chase the two away. The man said.
"Easy there, Ru Qing! before you regret what you are about to do" Xuan Yuan immediately let out a voice. the second he saw Ru Qing wanted to tug on Nhamso's collar. And he was relieved too, because he showed up at the right time, before it was too late.
Ru Qing shocked, her face tight, looked daggers at the unknown man in front of her. How could he know her name. As far as she could remember, they had never met. But she saw this man being friendly toward her.
"And who the hell are you?" her shrill voice echoed in Phoenix's quiet bedroom. She stood up straight, ready to attack.
"Xuan Ti" Xuan Yuan replied curtly.
Ru Qing's face immediately lit up at the answer from the man in front of her. She examined him from the tip of his head to the soles of his feet. From appearances he didn't look like Xuan Ti. But why did he claim to be himself.
This was Ru Qing's recklessness when she was already out of focus, she didn't use her common sense to use her skills in recognizing people. Though she is very skilled at this. it was because she was overcome with anger that an intruder had dared to enter the Phoenix residence which she guarded with all her heart, in her absence. She made sure her house was well maintained. And will not allow anyone to damage or steal Phoenix's belongings. even though she knew Phoenix was not attached to material things. But still she took care of her with all her heart content.
Xuan Yuan, not waiting for a response from Ru Qing, he approached Phoenix. holding both her arms. Help her stand. From her face he could tell that Nhamso was filled with fear.
Ru Qing squinted her eyes, digesting what was going on. And there she just used her power. A moment later her eyes were wide open, unable to believe what was in front of her. Tears streamed down her cheeks, feelings of emotion, joy, sadness filled her mind. She couldn't express how happy she was right now.
Unknowingly she walked closer to Phoenix, and immediately hugged her tightly. Very tightly, making Nhamso dumbfounded, confused.
Just a moment ago, she had shouted at her very rudely. but the next second she was crying and now hugging her. On the other hand, he was also confused as to why Xuan Yuan introduced himself by someone else's name. What really happened.
"Qing Yang!" called Ru Qing amidst her sobs, her rushing tear soaking Nhamso's shoulder clothes. "Where have you been?" she asked, still in disbelief.
Nhamso looked confusedly at Xuan Yuan. To which he only responded with a calm, reassuring smile. She stood still, didn't utter any words, and let the woman in her arms let out all his sorrows.
After her happy tears subsides, Ru Qing leaned back herself, looked on her with a face full of joy. She raised her right hand, gently caressing Nhamso's left cheek with a broad smile, although tears still rolled down her crimson cheeks.
"You know how sad I was when I heard you were gone. but I have faith you will come back again. and I was right" Unable to contain her joy, Ru Qing hugged Phoenix tightly again. A hug full of joy without crying.
