Shackles In The Dream

Min Yue couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned several times on the bed, but she couldn't get herself to sleep, the mattress was soft, but then she wasn't settled, so she decided to meditate on the bed, she sat up and began meditating, she was all alone in the room, Bai Lu had gone to bed and Huo Yan was either sleeping on the trees or keeping watch, Tuo Bao was back in her space resting, he had not reached the level where he could stay outside for long hours.

she sat there and centered all her attention on cultivating, the small wind caressed her face making her furrow her brows but dared not divert her attention to the soft wind, all of a sudden she felt like she was been watched, a very powerful presence appeared in her room, she would not be able to fight this person if the person decided to attack from far since right now she could only defend herself in close combat.

she decided to observe her surroundings and wait for the presence to show itself and do whatever it wanted to do, she can't determine what might happen next, but the worst thing that may happen is that she would have some minor injuries and no major injuries, so she continued meditating.

Yu Qing An hid in the corner of her room, staring at Min Yue as she furrowed her eyebrows, he felt the change in her, he was stunned, he remembered that when she was born, she had no spiritual root, and her dantian was broken but right now she had a very wonderful spiritual root, very rare, and even her dantian was restored, she was now a talent in the household and not his useless daughter of before.

Yu Min Yue was now a talented child, even more, talented than Si Xue, Yu Qing An felt pain in his heart, and his watery eyes were visible thanks to the moon, he felt sorrowful, he wasn't there for his blessed child and even allowed her to be bullied to such extent, now she is seated here like an untamed phoenix about to spread her wings, she would be the enemy of many and the horror of many, but she will also be the greatest star in the continent.

It was then Yu Qing An decided to support his child, but he didn't know that the current Min Yue never expected any support from him and would never ask for his support, but in his heart, he had sworn to always stand by his daughter and no one else.

Yu Qing An didn't stay long, as he was gone with the wind, Min Yue opened her eyes, and she was finally able to discern who came into her room, it was Yu Qing An, but she wondered what he was doing here, did he finally see the worth of his precious child? does he feel guilty? that didn't matter, his daughter is dead now and she can never be revived in this life.

Yu Min Yue yawned and finally, sleep took over her and she drifted off to a very deep sleep.

Yu Min Yue was standing in a very vast space, with blackness covering her sight, she was standing on something but it felt like she was standing on nothing, she could not see anything, then all of a sudden someone held her waist, she tried to defend herself from that person but she felt like she couldn't move, she looked down but it was only chains, and then another chain appeared on both of her hands, fear gripped her, she wasn't able to do anything at all, and then a tape appeared on her lips and it felt like a hand was caressing her.

All of a sudden she didn't know how she did it but then she screamed breaking the chains on her body, when she thought she was free she was sucked into the endless darkness. Min Yue rose up from the bed beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, she was still having those dreams despite her change of space and era, she was confused yet scared.

She was panting as her body turned cold, she hoped her enemies didn't follow her to this world, she was not ready, as if she suddenly remembered something she shut her eyes and shuddered.

'NO, I won't let the same thing happen in this life, NEVER'

she tightened her knuckles on the blanket covering her, she was still trying to get adjusted to everything as she sighed, a knock was heard and soon after that, a small voice was heard by Min Yue.

"Master are you okay? I heard you scream!" Bai Lu had this hint of anxiousness lying in her voice, Min Yue cleared her throat and just responded with a fine back, and that she could come in, she felt weak and she didn't feel like doing anything, she was like someone who was crushed and was yet to rise up, was it because of the dream, on her ankles and skin she felt this stinging pain and she checked there but she couldn't find any bruise, she felt like she was overthinking things and decided to push everything to the back of her mind.

"it was nothing, it was only just a dream and nothing else" she claimed, but Bai Lu frowned because she knew her master was just covering up her pain and trying to be strong, and it seemed the bullying from her past was still bothering, off course this was what Bai Lu thought, and didn't know that her master didn't care less of her previous life.

"Master, remember you don't have to hide the wound, but treat it, it would help you" Bai Lu softly spoke to her master, wanting to console her, but then Min Yue just stared blankly at her, with her big eyes, those phoenix black eyes made Bai Lu heart skip a beat, and she coughed awkwardly.

"I need a shower, prepare the bath for me, and remember where I sent you to go" she lazily climbed out of bed before stretching and yawning, this life was stressful, so she thought, but somehow she also felt like everything was exciting.

"where is that scheming bitch, how dare she!"

*why does it seem like everything is just going smoothly and there is no excitement?
