Chapter 10

I slammed myself into my bed. With a horror in my face after suffering from suffocation. This day is the worst. That feeling of being caught unguarded and wasn't able to retract back, it really made me a fool. Thinking back, I thought I won't be able to conceal my secret.

I look at the egg. It sure is living comfortably while me, I'm almost a dead meat. Sure enough, keeping a secret from others when you aren't used to it really becomes heavy the more you hide it. I cannot bear parting my treasure. I struggle carrying it. I just hope the Head won't try to search in my dorm or else, it'll leave me no choice but to... cook it. That's right, it's better to have a taste of this troublesome egg that giving it up. Maybe it contains unmeasurable power that will make me stronger or undefeatable. That also works.

I close my eyes, ready to fall asleep. My exhausted mind really pushed me to limit.

When I open my eyes, I was in a different place. From bed, mat, furnitures, and even the design around and the atmosphere is different. The inside looks like a small cabin. I move out of the bed. Roaming the room. Everything is too clean and air is so refreshing. There's even a cup of tea in the table. It looks like it is still hot along with some snacks. I went near it. It is an osmanthus cake. I stared at it. It looks familiar but not. I do not know what kind of feeling I have looking at the cake but I subconsciously picked one and ate it. It taste different from what I tasted before. It somehow more sweet with a strawberry filling. It's soft and easily melt in my mouth. I picked one again a shove it in. It makes me happy.

When I finished eating the whole pallet, I decided to walk outside. When I open the door, I saw a very huge blossom tree in the middle of the yard. It blooms so magnificently that it looks like it showering it's flowers. I rise my hand to catch one.

There's about one to land when I suddenly heard a voice.

"You're awake, young lord"

The man standing about 5 meters from me smiles gently. He is about 60 years old based on the wrinkles in his face. His dress is like an ancient times.

As I realized, I looked on myself. Even I was wearing an ancient outfit. And the fact that he called me 'young lord's earlier confused me.

"Excuse me but who are you?"

The man titled his head while he still keep his smile.

"Young Lord, have you forgotten? I am your servant. I am the one incharge of your daily necessities"

I was clueless of what he is saying. A servant? When did I have a servant? Is it because I sold the egg that I become suddenly rich without realizing? But I remember that still didn't sell the egg as I didn't find any suitable buyer. And if so, why would I choose this old living style instead of a mansion and a luxury car. Who's in their right mind to do that? Are you?

The man spokes again but this time, he handed me a colorful clothes and a jade pendant.

"Young Lord, the master have arrived and is now waiting to join you for breakfast. He is in the LiLy Hall as this moment"

After done saying his message, he bowed down to me and left while I was stuck in my place. Who is this master he's talking about? Waiting for me to join breakfast? Is it still breakfast considering the time that the sun is now flaring hot.

I signed. I went back to the room and change. When I'm done, I went outside again, ready to march to wherever it is. Wait--- where is it again? Did the man said Li or something? Ah! I remember now, Lily Hall.

I proudly walk in my left with a heads up. My path is smooth. I saw different kinds of stuff around. Different kinds of flowers, trees and even grasses in different shapes. It mesmerized me how they be able to maintain such big garden. Still, even for a bit distraction, it never leave me my ultimate destination. But the fuck is this.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS LILY HALL"

I couldn't help but to shout. I've been walking for ages yet I cannot find a single human form to asked for direction. What kind of place is this? Limited servant? What? Too poor to pay more people? And where's this old man from earlier. Why didn't he showed up when I needed him.

I continue my pace. Kicking rocks everywhere. Until it occurred to me the jade pendant in my neck. It's slightly shining. When I pressed the light a ray of golden light formed. It leads to the unknown.

I frowned. Should I follow it or just ignore it? But my senses is telling me that I should but I am a bit hesitate. What if the end of it reach to the cliff and someone is waiting for me there thin push me? I'll die, okay? I still haven't confess my feelings to Rix. I cannot die a virgin. It will destroy my reputation.

I was about to ignore the light when something pulled me. Though it doesn't hurt, I wasn't dragged okay? It's not gonna happen or the writer will be hunted.

I was rather floating. It feels so good. I can feel the air against my face. And I can see everything below me. The spectacular view that I'm sure will never be forgotten.

The ray of light slowly shorten. Not long I saw a small but elegant house. And there, the man I've been looking for was standing outside firmly.

I slowly landed on my feet and the ray of light instantly vanished. I can still feel the sensation of being in the middle of the air. I brush off my clothes before walking near the door.

The man from earlier greeted me politely and open the..... WOOOW..

The moment he open the door, I could feel my stomach crumbling. A feast. A huge table full of delicious food. The smell of delicacies that you will never regret dying just to have a taste.

The moment I step inside, u rushed to the table, sit in the chair as I fill my plate with everything my eyes could see. I won't hold back. Even if it's a dream I won't hold back when it comes to food. This feast can only come once. I need to grab this opportunity to try everything. And I even hope I could bring them back.

I was busy consuming whatever that can fit my mouth when a gentle laugh interrupted. I didn't see anyone. I look around but no other presence is present. I ignore the laugh. Maybe it is just my imagination. I continue devouring the roasted pig leg when I hear the gentle laugh again. This time it even spoke.

"Slow down my wife or you will choke. Worry not. It is all yours. No one will take it away"

I froze and drop the roasted pig leg-- no. Why the heck did I drop it--.

And there, the familiar voice again. The one who keep calling me Zhing. The voice I didn't hear for sometime is here.

I swallowed my food and stand up. I will different find who is it. Will different know who you are.

I walk at the edge of the table. It's quite long the fuck. Slowly, I gradually saw a figure sitting at the end. His hand is long and white. Delicate like a flower. His suit is a mixed of black, gold and red. But I still cannot see his face.

I keep on walking until finally, I was able to meet him. The owner of the voice. The one that I was eager to know unreasonably.

He raised his head. Our eyes meet. He smiled at me sadly as a tears fall from his eyes. He said "I miss you, my wife. My Zhing"
