When Ye Qiu opened his eyes, only darkness filled his sight.
"Where is this place?"
He could see nothing. He did not know the reason he landed in such a strange place either. It was only after perceived a small light shining on his left side, did he walked towards it, assuming it was guiding him to them.
"What are these things?"
Three light spheres, balloon-sized with each different colors, one red, one blue, and one purple, the three of them were floating in the air.
While staring at one of these three light spheres, he noticed that the longer he stared at it, the more hypnotized his mind was as if it was urging him to touch it, but when he was almost in contact with one, he felt a tremendous and terrifying power from it. He then tried to touch the two others. And as he had expected, the atmosphere was slightly inferior, but he still felt the same effect.
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't think that's a good idea…..." as he voiced his thought.
The moment Ye Qiu ended his sentence, a voice resounded in his mind, "You must choose one of the three light spheres to leave this place. I recommend you to touch the blue one." the voice was familiar yet unfamiliar to him. He tried to explore his memories to figure out if he had met the owner of the voice during his life, but he could not find it.
"You had fallen from the top of the hill and had died. Only after choosing one of these light spheres will allow you to return to your dead body, restoring it into a normal state, granting you a second chance with a new power."
Ye Qiu was still doubtful, but he did not have the choice. He had been half convinced by the voice since he indeed was going to die. Having finally made up his mind, he decided to touch the blue-colored light sphere.
However, the moment he touched the sphere, multiples scenes appeared in his mind and because of the multitude of data entering his mind in less than a second, it caused Ye Qiu to collapse on-the-spot.
"——Hm..."
A woman's face entered Ye Qiu's eyes the moment he opened his eyes. Long black hair, dazzling emerald eyes, her thin delicate red lips, and smooth-looking white skin, she was, without a doubt, a top-notch beauty.
Lifting his head which was resting on the young girl's legs, Ye Qiu said, "Thank you for saving me, miss Ying Jingyi." the girl who had saved him was none other than Ying Jingyi, the seventh princess of the Leaf Kingdom.
"..."
The young girl remained silent as she watched Ye Qiu standing up.
"I'm sorry miss Ying Jingyi, but I have an important business to achieve before the end of the day. I'll definitely return the favor I own you."
Ying Jingyi's eyes did not leave Ye Qiu until his sight disappeared from her field of vision and only after he was no longer there did she finally opened her delicate lips, frowning as she whispered, "The look on his eyes…...had changed. He seemed more confident. ——Favor." a faint smile appeared on her face as she thought about his last word.
Ying Jingyi, known for her indifferent and expressionless face, had smiled for the first time since years.
Only, none could see the pleasant smile from the young lady.
