Once again, Lu Li came to the valley in the Prison of Wind. This was where he got inspired last time around.
He closed his eyes and let the wind take his body around in the sky, tumbling over and over.
The wind was so fierce that Lu Li was swept into the air together with the sand. Gradually, he and the sand became one; they became one big grain of sand.
"Bang!"
Lu Li was blown out of the valley and was smashed into the deserted land. He was covered entirely with sand and dust, including his robe and hair, making him a man made of sand.
"Whoosh!"
He flew up and went to the other end of the valley. Then, he was carried from this end to the other end of the valley by the wind after he became a big grain of sand again until he fell to the ground, eventually.
Once, twice, 10 times, fifty times!
At the 67th time, Lu Li did not fly back after he landed on the ground. Instead, he sat on the ground with his legs crossed. That misty and faint root of inspiration in his heart was growing clearer. He felt he was reaching the turning point of breakthrough.
"The sand can be an organic whole because of the wind. Driven by the fast travelling wind, sand grains are minced before they are fused together. This is just like the situation in the Earth Imperial Universe. There's no making without breaking. Only by destroying the old can the new come together!"
Lu Li had a ball of sand in his hand. He squeezed it and the ball of sand fell apart, turning into dust. This ball was made up of countless grains of sand. The strong wind rippled the sand grains into dust at a fast pace, and that dust formed into huge balls of sand.
Lu Li now had a clear understanding of the direction he should be going. The fact that he could not integrate the 12 Profound Meanings was because he had studied them all, and that was already a fact.
The 12 Profound Meanings were like the many families in the Earth Imperial Universe. To take complete control of the Earth Imperial Universe, those families should be disrupted. Regrouping was the best way to go.
The 12 Profound Meanings were just like 12 ropes with varied sizes. To make them one, they must be separated first, dividing them into a fine thread. That was the way to regroup the thread into one huge rope.
"Wind is the origin, the essence of wind-related Profound Meanings. Emperor of Heaven Reverse said that to learn about the Fundamental Principle, the keywords are origin and truth. Now I have found the origin. What does he mean by truth?"
Lu Li could not find the answer to this question. He decided not to mind this baffling matter. First, he should break up the 12 Profound Meanings and put them together.
"Phew, phew~"
The storm went on. Sand was drifting everywhere. Countless grains of sand fell on Lu Li's body, covering him up gradually until he turned into a sandman.
Time flew by rapidly especially when one was cultivating.
A month later, the 12 Profound Meanings began to show initial signs of integration. All things were difficult before they were easy. Once the right path was found, what came next was easy, and Lu Li could continue to integrate the Profound Meaning.
Three months later, the 12 Profound Meanings were basically integrated. He believed that in one to two months, the 12 Profound Meanings would be put together completely. He would master the Fundamental Principle, and he could become an immortal.
However…
Two months later, Lu Li opened his eyes in surprise and complete disbelief!
Just now, he had completely integrated 12 Profound Meanings together. He had mastered a wind-related Fundamental Principle. That being said… he did not have a sense of breakthrough. There was no sign that he was becoming an immortal.
He mastered the Fundamental Principle, but why could he not become an immortal? What had gone wrong?
A glint of confusion and fear rose in Lu Li's eyes. He had learned something about achieving the breakthrough of becoming an immortal from the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo. That was why Lu Li was in a panic.
Over the history of the nine universes, whenever a mortal became an immortal, anomalies would happen in heaven and earth nearby that universe. Xuan Qi would have unusual fluctuations.
The reason was that once one became an immortal, that warrior would have proven to have the ability to defy the laws of nature. That would stir up a reaction in heaven and earth, and by the same logic, the laws in nature would react accordingly. What was more, when a warrior became an immortal, heaven and earth would grant the warrior some special energy to help that warrior turn his or her physical body and soul into that of an immortal!
But… while Lu Li had mastered the Fundamental Principle, there was no reaction in nature, and he did not receive any special energy that could help him refine his body and build his soul.
Lu Li believed that with the legacy from Emperor Heng, it was a sure thing that he could become an immortal.
Besides him, the majority from the nine universes believed that it would be easy for Lu Li to become an immortal. After all, he had gained such stunning abilities in his thirties and Emperor Heng's legacy. Wouldn't it be simple?
At the moment, Lu Li felt this was a huge joke. Mastering the Fundamental Principle should mean that he would become an immortal. But there was no anomaly in heaven and earth. Was he… never going to achieve this breakthrough?
"No. There must be something I'm doing wrong!"
Lu Li stood up all of a sudden. He used Xuan Energy to shake the sand off. Glaring at the sky, he sunk into deep thought. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he felt something.
"Origin Fundamental Principle, everything with an origin. Truth, vanity, void and illusionary perceptions are intertwined together. The focus is on the origin and truth!"
Lu Li remembered the words said by Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Lu Li suddenly had an epiphany—at the moment, he only understood "origin" but not "truth". This might be the problem.
"Truth, vanity, void, and illusionary perceptions are intertwined together. It is difficult to distinguish the real and fake. The void is boundless…"
Lu Li murmured. Could it be that the Fundamental Principle he mastered was fake? Had he, as a matter of fact, not mastered the Fundamental Principle? Now, everything was just an illusion? All he had learned were fake, and he had not reached the core of the Fundamental Principle?
"What is the truth? What is fake? If the Profound Meanings I have studied are not real, then what is real in this world?"
Lu Li was perplexed. He began to wander around nearby slowly. Though he had shaken off the sand, his hair and robe were still messy and dirty. He had not shaved in months. At the moment, he was more like a homeless man with an unsound mind.
Lu Li would walk around, and every now and then, he would mumble something nonstop. Sometimes, he would find a place and sit down. Jiang Qiling or the others would not have recognized this person as Lu Li…
Five days, 10 days!
Lu Li felt he was becoming insane. He could not tell what was real or fake in this world anymore, nor distinguish a dream from reality.
He devoted such a great effort in learning these Profound Meanings. He was sure that he had mastered the Fundamental Meaning, and it turned out to be a fake? Right now, he felt everything was fake in this world.
Half a month later, Lu Li came to a small mountain. He had no idea where he was at since he had been in a confused state.
At the foot of this mountain, he suddenly stopped. He spotted a grass growing out from under a stone!
The Prison of Wind was covered with desert. There was hardly any plant. Surprisingly, there was this grass! This grass was growing bit by bit even though it was being pressed down by the stone.
Lu Li looked at the grass for a moment and then gazed at the desert. In a world of desolation, the little piece of green stood out, lighting up and clearing out the world for him.
"A mixture of truth and falsehood, the truth mingled with the fake?"
Instantly, confusion left Lu Li's eyes, which were emitting clarity and firm conviction.
A moment of astonishment later, Lu Li became high spirited. He laughed out loud. "Ha, ha, ha… God, you are doing this on purpose. You stop people at the last step. You confuse them with truth and falsehood, so they will lose themselves. They are stuck in self-doubt and therefore cannot achieve the final breakthrough. Now, I have mastered the Fundamental Principle. Why don't you bestow me with divine energy to reform my body and soul?"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom~"
Lu Li had just finished his words when anomalies rose in heaven and earth. Clouds were changing. The nine universes were shaking!


On the Great Land of China, forces clashed for the sake of supremacy and Bloodline Warriors ran amok; the conflict of the strong threatened to shatter heaven and earth. A young man named Lu Li—nothing more than a humble Coffin Carrier from the Northern Desert—came along with Lu Ling, his sister. The two were regarded as puny insects and bullied, but little did people know that Lu Li had the strongest Bloodline in him of them all.

He mounted the most handsome of horses and drank the strongest of wines;
He bedded the most beautiful of ladies and murdered the most hated of people;
He told a huge lie and carried with him an ill-reputation undeserved;
He traveled all by his lonesome and danced with devils;

He had given his word that he would come back, that he would be strong.
And it was because of this that she was still waiting in the city—alone.


Just as Jade's interest in the segment was waning, the host said something that renewed her attention. When Jade heard the female host mention that dreams about teeth were common, she suddenly shook as she remembered her dreams from the night before.
'That's weird. I just had a dream about that last night!' As she thought back on the dream, trying to remember the full series of events, the hosts continued their discussion.
On the TV, Desmond did not seem to believe Holly. "Teeth dreams are common? Personally, I don't remember my dreams, but teeth dreams seems a very niche category."
"No, you'd be surprised," Holly countered, "most people have had teeth dreams before. They're a part of the body that people are most self-conscious about. If you have an issue with skin, hair, or fat, it can repair itself naturally, but teeth are different; once you lose all your baby teeth, that's all you get."
"Hmm… I suppose so." Desmond seemed to have been slightly convinced by Holly. "My incredulity aside, what do teeth dreams mean?"
"Teeth dreams are one of the most direct ways for our subconscious to communicate with us. There aren't as many variations as with water or flying dreams, but I'll give you a few examples.
"If someone chips a tooth, they likely have repressed insecurities, or perhaps they feel stressed by something. Rotting teeth are similar to chipped teeth, but the emotions are much stronger, typically extreme anxiety or fear.
"A weird one that I'm fond of is someone pulling out your teeth. That's your subconscious trying to warn you that the person taking your tooth wants something precious to you…"
Jade thought back to the dream and remembered that Frank had yanked out her tooth. 'Ha! So, Frank wants something precious from me? I live in a rundown apartment building; the only thing of value I own, partly, is the cafe, and it's not like he can just walk away with that!'
Quickly dismissing the host's interpretation of her dream, Jade returned her attention to the TV, looking to see what other bizarre nonsense Holly would come out with.
On the breakfast show, Holly had finished talk about teeth dreams and was looking to Desmond. It seemed they had time for a little more, because Desmond said, "Holly, you mentioned flying dreams earlier. I'm sure I've probably dreamt about that before, so what are the meanings behind those?" 
"Well, Desmond, flying dreams are a lot of fun. For the most part, they mean good things: upcoming success, freedom, joy. However, they can also mean bad things. If you learn to fly in your dream, it means that you are ambitious. A successful takeoff means that your ambitions will come true, but if you struggle to take off, you will meet much adversity.
"Similarly, if you fly freely, it means that you will experience the freedom and joy that you've always desired. However, if an accident befalls you mid-flight, it means something will prevent that freedom or joy. You should be particularly cautious if it's a person who stops your flight…'
With a disinterested look on her face, Jade looked down at the crumbs on her plate and then back up at the TV. 'Mr Frisch is going to prevent my freedom and joy? Hehe… I'd like to see him try.'
With a sigh, Jade realized that she had been watching TV for almost twenty minutes. 'What a waste of time… There's no way I'd believe in a load of baloney like that.'

After struggling through her early years, lacking the support of her family and those she once called friends, Jade is finally back on her feet. Not just on her feet. She's a successful, young woman running her own business, a cute cafe just outside the central business district.
But despite handsome, successful businessmen running in and out of her store every day, she still hasn't found the right man.

"No, thank you, I enjoy my work."
"Come with me. I'll buy you an island. You'll have a Michelin star chef cook your every meal."
"No, thank you, my own cooking is sufficient."
"Humph! Seeing as you won't come with me, I'll just move in here."
"Eh? What?"
"I bought the land your cafe is built on. I think you'll find that you no longer have a say."

"Aranea, Elenea, time to wake up,"
the old woman shouted as she put the plates down on the dining table. She was setting up the table for breakfast time. The two girls walked down the stairs after the old woman called out to them and they sat down in their respective seats. 

"My, my, my..." The old woman looked worried as she saw dark circles under Aranea's eyes. "Did you have that dream again?"

"Yes, mom," Aranea answered and it made Aurelia, their mother, sigh. 

"I think it's not normal anymore... to be having the same dream for the longest time," Elenea said and Aurelia nodded. 

"I agree. Maybe we should talk to our neighbor? He is indeed a psychiatrist," their mother suggested and Aranea just shook her head, disagreeing. 

"I don't want to tell him, though," she said and the two got surprised.

"Why? This is a bit serious!" Elenea puffed her cheeks, not understanding why her twin sister wanted to keep quiet about her dream.

"It's kind of a personal dream to me... it's as if... it is meant for us?" Aurelia wondered as to what she meant. 

"What do you mean, dear? Like a dream having meanings," she asked and Aranea nodded. 

"I keep having this dream... but it doesn't bother me much. I mean, it does... but not to the extent of me wanting to talk with a professional about this, you know? I just want this dream to be a secret in our family," Aranea explained and Elenea sighed, then gave her twin sister a smile. 

"If you say so. But if this makes you insane, don't blame me for telling our neighbor," Elenea said and Aranea smiled, feeling thankful to have such a loving sister. 

"If that's what my Aranea thinks, then it is okay for me. Just... don't make me worry too much, okay? You two may be my adopted children, but I think of you two as my own," Aurelia said and the two girls smiled at their loving mother. "Now, let's eat! We have a long day ahead of us," she added and the three started eating their breakfast. 

Aurelia Nestmile adopted Aranea and Elenea. They were left in front of Aurelia's house without a single clue as to where they came from. Because of this, it gave Aurelia the determination to build an orphanage for unfortunate children everywhere. With Aranea and Elenea, they also grew to love children and also cared for them. Since then, the three of them had been running this orphanage for a very long time and had no thoughts of stopping. 

The three already finished eating breakfast and had cleared up the table. Suddenly, the main door of the house banged open and children came inside, rushing to Aranea and Elenea's side. 

"Aranea, Elenea! Time to plaaaaaaay!" The children started hugging them as they jumped excitedly for their attention. 

"Hey!" Aranea called for their attention, making the children quiet down for a while. "Now, what did I say when it comes to entering the house?"

The children pouted and answered in unison. "To knock first and wait..."

Elenea giggled as she carried the youngest of the children. "Come on, sis... they're excited. You can't blame them!" When Elenea spoke in their defense, the children giggled once more and they hugged Aranea as an apology. 

"We're sorry, Aranea! We promise to be good next time," the eldest of the children said and Aranea rolled her eyes as she giggled, giving in to the children's laughter. 

"You two go on and look after them. I'll be washing the dishes. Go on," Aurelia said and the two led the children outside of the house, then into the open field of the orphanage for them to play. 

The moment they were outside, the teenagers, Jack and Ralph, approached the twins and smiled at them. 

"Good morning, Jack, Ralph," Aranea greeted and the two boys nodded in acknowledgement. "You're turning 15 soon, Jack! Aren't you excited," she added and Jack showed an embarrassed smile, remembering that he is going to have his birthday soon. 

"Yeah, but... I'm quite nervous. No one has ever adopted me and that's okay, but... I'd be going to school soon and I'm embarrassed, knowing that I am the eldest of my classmates," he said and Elenea showed him a sweet smile. 

"Think positive, Jack. Don't let this thought hinder you. Besides... the important thing is learning, right," Elenea said and this comforted the teenager. 

"Thanks. Ralph will be with me, anyway. We'll figure this out," Jack added and Ralph nodded. 

"Thank you for helping us during home study." Ralph thanked the twins and the twins smiled at them, feeling happy.

Aranea Nestmile, together with her twin sister, Elenea Nestmile, received an invitation to enroll in a magic school. 

Their foster mother was ecstatic to receive such news, however, she felt doubt on how Aranea had received such invitation, when in fact, she did not possess any magical powers, compared to her twin sister having musical healing powers! 

That was what most people thought... until Aranea kissed her phone, transforming it into a man who claimed to be her loyal familiar! 

Maybe Aranea may not be as powerless as they think she is...

"Please enjoy the party because I have prepared this party's food and drinks for a long time. I'll let him know your table when Oscar comes."

"Yes, princess..."

Mielle covered half of her face with a fan since she felt a sudden heat and settled at an empty table nearby. Some of the young ladies who recognized her hurried to fill the vacancy, and her surroundings were filled with people without a moment to feel empty.

"How can you be so beautiful today?!"

"I think you're getting more spotlight today."

"On her birthday, Lady Isis is very beautiful, and it's not long before the two of you, even the best in the Empire, have the same surname."

"Oh, what are you saying? Before that, Princess Isis will have the noblest surname in the Empire, Franz."

"I made a mistake. I'm so sorry!"

There was one reason that she was the future hostess of the Duke of Frederick. It was more like a fait accompli when they saw that the princess was taking care of her.

As Isis had sent letters to all the nobles above a certain level, they were invited to attend her birthday, but having difficulty in getting acquainted with the princess, they targeted Mielle, who was still young and seemingly easy to handle.

"I can't wait for that day to come."

As always, Mielle answered with a sweet smile. In fact, she didn't even know the names of those who surrounded her. For those who were of no value, she could have a consistent smile. She listened only to what she wanted to hear and answered only to it. That was the social world that Mielle had learned.

"Uh? Isn't that Oscar over there?"

"That's true!"

Turning to a spot where a young lady was pointing at someone, she found Oscar dressed up in a suit that had his family's emblem embroidered on his chest. He turned over all his hair back, and his matureness was outstanding.

'How cool is he?' Mielle admired him purely. He went straight up to Isis. He exchanged words of silence and soon turned to the table where Mielle was.

"Oh, it looks like he's coming this way!"

A garrulous lady predicted Oscar's behavior. As she said that, Oscar's footsteps headed for the table with Mielle. She got up from her seat, unable to bear to wait for him approaching. With his strolling gait, Oscar came just around her.

"How have you been?"

"... I've been good! What about you Oscar?"

"Me too."

Oscar's manner was very friendly. The stiffness of his speech was a little subdued and so was his expression. He asked an excuse for a lady who was taking the seat next to Mielle and sat next to her.

'Don't tell me this isn't a dream...?'

If it was a dream, she hoped she would not wake up. She couldn't even blink. She just stared at the friendly Oscar.

Whether he was really determined to love Mielle, he sought her convenience all the time and spoke to her. Mielle was half unconscious. She received his efforts, and around her, they said that the two were very well matched.

"They're a nice couple, isn't it?"

"Dear princess…!".

In response, Isis, the person who sought a close relationship between the two, fanned out. Whether she had finished her greetings to major guests or not, she also sat next to Oscar.

Real connections didn't show off friendship at these trivial parties anyway. Her real connections were the ones she met and chatted in secret places, which were very few people. 

The birthday party was just a place of wealth, power, and bravado, so there was no need to spend a long time talking to useless people.

"I guess Oscar was quite lonely while he was away from Lady Mielle. How sweet of him. I wish he could do that to his sister."

"…"

Isis narrowed her eyes as if to observe how he would behave. Oscar only had a quiet cup of tea without any particular answer.

"So did I. I'd like him to graduate from the academy… I'll see him every day then."

'Is there a girl whose red cheeks match so well?' Mielle smiled as if she had the whole world.

"The good news is that Oscar will graduate this time. He won't make Lady Mielle sad anymore."

The word "not sad" contained two meanings. It meant that he wouldn't make her lonely and that he would give his heart.

Mielle figured out both of those meanings. Maybe that was why it felt like her own birthday, not Isis's. The two enjoyed a leisurely conversation with Oscar in between, talking about the events in the past, the present, and the future.

Most of their stories were about engagement and marriage, starting with the dress to wear at the ceremony and the room they would use in the mansion. It was not long after that that someone who interfered with them appeared.

"Miss Isis...!"

The butler of the mansion ran to Isis, forgetting his dignity. She didn't know what was so urgent, and she clicked her tongue. The butler, who came to her, did not hesitate to tell her why.

"The, the Crown Prince is here!"

"... what?"

Perhaps he was quite surprised by the Crown Prince's visit, and the butler shouted in a loud voice that everyone could hear. Surprised, Isis was frozen that she could not respond at all. And so was Oscar. The Crown Prince and the princess talked about their engagement on the surface, but they didn't really get along very well. 'Why would the Crown Prince be at Isis's birthday party?'

"The Crown Prince must have come to celebrate the princess's birthday!"

Mielle, unaware of the fact, raised her voice, and only then, Isis, who came to her senses, ordered him to guide the Crown Prince inside. However, the butler, who was instructed, did not have to carry out the task. The Crown Prince, who already knew where she was, did not wait but went to where they were by himself instead.

No matter how dominant the Aristocratic Party was, the royal family was the royal family. In the appearance of the Crown Prince who would be the next Emperor, beginning with Isis, the guests greeted him politely with their backs and heads down.

"I, I see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's been a long time, Princess Isis. Happy birthday."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince looked away, leaving only a very simple greeting to the princess. The place where his gaze was directed was toward Mielle, whose face couldn't be seen, with a deep bow. She was shivering faintly at the very existence of the Crown Prince that she met for the first time. 

The Crown Prince smiled to see if she looked very pitiful. "Are you Lady Roscent Mielle? ...it's weird. I think you became a little smaller."

They didn't know why he was interested in Mielle and not Oscar. Her family had great wealth, but she was still only a lady of the family of the count. 'Is it because the rumors say that she's beautiful? Or because she is good at grace even at a young age? Or does he have the intention of upsetting the princess? Has he met her before?'

People in the garden spread all kinds of speculation. Isis was the same. She bit her lip and guessed what had happened between the two.

"I've heard a lot of your stories. I think you must have wondered about me."

Mielle could not understand what the Crown Prince was trying to say. It was partly because her body and heart were hardened since she was the one who met the Crown Prince first, and also because he kept talking to her and not the princess.

"So now… I think it's time for a face-to-face conversation, what do you think, Lady Mielle?"

Mielle shook her head reflexively. She didn't want to get entangled with the Crown Prince. Oscar alone was enough for her. If she got mixed up with him, the princess's mate... she was sure she would lose Oscar.

Ignoring this, however, the Crown Prince ordered her to raise her head again. It was an imperial order. She couldn't refuse. She couldn't help but lift her head, as not only her, but everyone was forced to raise their heads.

'What the hell is this…?' 

As she raised her head, she could see the face of the Crown Prince who was gradually hardening his expression. Something was going wrong.

* * *

Lane, who left the mansion, went straight back to the Imperial Palace. Today, his steps to the Crown Prince's room were heavy. He had always thought that Mielle was weird, but she was definitely weird today. 'Is Lady Roscent really clever?'

It was just over half an hour before the plane landed. 
The stylish lady with blonde hair and green eyes put out a small comb for her smooth blonde hair and the creaking static noises were heard. After putting her comb into her handbag, she fumbled out a bunch of jars and bottles filled with cosmetic products and started to refine her makeup elaborately in front of her small mirror. Richard couldn't help but think that maybe her boyfriend— or girlfriend! — was waiting for her at the Los Angeles International Airport? 
Not only her, but other passengers were preparing to get off the plane. Walking back and forth down the aisles, they were waiting in queue for the bathrooms. Sometimes, one or two brats wanted to pull at Richard's tail, but it dodged their grabbing hands flexibly. 
Not a fan of the scents of cosmetics or brats like Yi Le, Richard wanted to go to a quiet place close to the porthole. 
Fina was taking a nap on her seat closest to the porthole, while Zhang Zian was sleeping with his mouth open in the middle seat. Richard decided to bully the weak one. It fluttered its wings and landed on Zhang Zian's shoulder, looking at the brown coastline beneath the skyline afar through the porthole. 
Suddenly, it noticed its own figure in the reflection of the porthole—its whole body was covered with light grey feathers, and its dark red tail feathers appeared very perky. 
It looked at its body carefully, lowered its head, and used its beak to comb through the disheveled feathers on its chest. 
"Stop it." Zhang Zian sensed its movement. Half asleep, he opened his eyes, wiped off his saliva, and muttered. 
Richard didn't bother to care about this man, who was always at the bottom of the food chain of the pet shop. 
It remembered the day when it looked in the mirror for the first time in its life. 
At that time, it hadn't acquired the intelligence to know that it was a 'parrot', nor did it have the concept of how a parrot looked like in its head. When it saw its figure in the mirror for the first time, it thought another creature had intruded its body. It was so scared that it shivered in the corner. 
"Oh, darling, don't be afraid, it is you." Wearing her white coat, she was amused by its response and held it tightly in her arms, whispering to it softly. 
"Alex, look, this is you, you are a parrot." 
With her tender words, it felt like it was not as frightened as before. It was being trained to identify colors, so it asked, "What... color?" 
"Oh! Alex, you always surprise me! This is grey, look, your feathers are grey." 
"Come on, cutie pie, you've got another name—'Grey'!" 
That day was the first time it had looked in the mirror and it had remembered the color grey ever since. This gave it another nickname, "Grey", that she only addressed it with this when she was about to get angry. 
For example, when it sat on the plane with humans for the first time, it took away her shrimp salad, for it detested the stale fruit salad provided by the flight and declined to eat it. After several attempts at patient yet futile persuasion, she snapped, "Damn it! Grey! You must eat that fruit!" 
It surrendered and finished the fruit salad sheepishly, not because of her angry tone, but because it noticed the worried and anxious looks that she cast on it. 
Although overripe apples give off very disgusting smells, they could supplement the vitamins necessary for its body. After its infection to aspergillus, she was increasingly concerned for its health. 
And Richard was not willing to see her eyes filled with any concern.
...
"Liǎng gè huánglí míng cuìliǔ, yì háng báilù shàng qíngtiān—" 
"Two golden orioles sing amid the willows green; A flock of white egrets fly toward the blue sky—"
"No, no, baby, not qíngtiān, it’s qīngtiān. It’s pronounced in the first tone, not the second tone!"
In front of Richard’s left side was a family of four. The Chinese mother had been correcting her mixed-race son’s pronunciation numerous times.
"Mommy, I can recite too." Her little daughter, who also had the facial features of a mixed-race was very active, "Chūn mián bù jué xiǎo, chùchù wén zí yǎo…?" 
"My God!" the mother, who was the only person with the facial features of a Chinese person, rested her fingers on her forehead, "It’s ‘chùchù wén tí niǎo’ . You are even more impressive than your brother!"
The Chinese passengers around them burst into kind laughter. Though some foreign passengers didn’t understand what was going on, as joyfulness was contagious, they began to smile too. 
Richard also smiled ear to ear. 
As an Apprehensive Bird, it was familiar with classic Chinese cultures and could recite any popular poem in ancient China. But speaking of how it began to be exposed to the cultured in the first place, it was long time ago…
That year, she brought it to Tucson, Arizona, a southern city in the United States, and they lived on a farm eight miles from downtown. On many mornings, they would drink coffee and wait for the sunrise on the balcony together… 
When the sun rose above the Lincoln Mountains, she and it would look at the peak of Saint Catalina Mountain basked in the sunshine. Marvelous by the beautiful sunglows in lavender and pink, she would gasp in admiration frequently, "Dear Alex, look, how amazing nature is! You are all blessed by the creator!"
The insightful Old Time Tea praised the young doctor in the pet clinic for her knowledge of both Chinese and Western cultures. In fact, she was resourceful too. After living on the farm for a while, her native language probably didn’t have enough expressions to let her display her affections to the nature, she began to teach it Chinese idioms and poems such as "yún zhēng xiá wèi" —The rosy clouds are slowly rising— and "qì zhēng yún mèng zé" –Cloud and dream fall into the river. 
At that time, it was not able to comprehend such complicated expressions. What it did was just role imitation. Yet deep inside its heart, it still remembered the two poems that she recited the most— "shān guāng yuè niǎo xìng" –Mountain scene pleases the birds– and "yè dǐ huáng lí yī liǎng shēng" –Orioles are chirping around the leaves and branches.
It didn’t understand the meanings of these poems until it had become an elfin. And it was aware that how difficult it was for a foreigner like her to comprehend the classic literature of China. She often said that it was the pride of her life, and in fact, Richard was very proud of her. 
She meant the whole world to it. 
"X-art…brazzers…kink…digital sin… private…wicked…hey hey, foreign girls…I came, I saw, I conquered…" muttered Zhang Zian with a weird and disgusting smile on his face, it seemed like he was having some kind of happy dream.
Richard came to itself from its reminiscencing and shuddered! 
Why was this idiot speaking English so fluently right now?!
Luckily, he wasn’t talking loudly. If other passengers had heard him, they would probably call the police right away!
It disdainfully stared at Zhang Zian, whose saliva was drooping beside his mouth, and tried very hard with its wings to pull up the blanket that was slipping down his body. 
This idiot thought that he was lucky to run into it at the class of a Chinese professor randomly. 
Actually, it was attracted by the lecture. 
Though the old Professor Chen made students want to sleep when teaching modern Chinese, he had lectured the Ancient Chinese Literature vividly. In the previous session before Zhang Zian went in, he was introducing the poem collections of Nalan Rongruo, a famous Ci poet in Qing Dynasty. 
"We played riddles and enjoyed the aroma of spilled tea; At the time I thought such happiness came so naturally…yet those happinesses cannot be repeated anymore…"
It was stunned hearing the poem. 
"Love" was a complicated word for it in its previous life. But on the night before it died, it somehow had grasped the meaning of it, and when saying goodbye to her, it said, "I love you."
Even when turning into an elfin, "love" was still an unfathomable feeling for it. What puzzled it was that, although the sky’s the limit for an elfin, it still felt empty in a part deep inside its heart. Whenever it thought of her, it would be immersed in pain. They spent thirty years together. She taught it lessons, it accompanied her, and she would lose her temper at it if she was angry…a sharp-eyed journalist from The Times once reported that Doctor and it were living together just like a couple. 
Although it could understand the poetry meanings of the expressions praising the harmonious and happy married life now, that life was buried in the past and could never be repeated again. 
"If you love her, you should keep her company, but you should also let her go." It was aware what it should do, but couldn’t figure out the reason of its painful feeling…the poems in the class enlightened it. Because it could never stay by her again, it blamed itself for not being able to remember every detail in the thirty years they were together, and for not treasuring the happiness better. 
"We played riddles and enjoyed the aroma of spilled tea; At the time I thought such happiness came so naturally…"
Gazing at the coast in the far distance, its eyes became blurred gradually. Among the clouds, it seemed that her tender face had appeared. Although her face was full of wrinkles, in its eyes, she was still the young lady with charming smile thirty years ago. 
The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death. It’s that when I stand in front of you, you don’t know that I love you.
The furthest distance in the world is not that you don’t know that I love you, but when I am missing you so much, I can only conceal my feelings inside my heart. 
...
"Attention, passengers. This is your captain speaking. We will be arriving at our destination, Los Angeles International Airport, in approximately 20 minutes. The local time is 11:00 a.m., the temperature is 9 degrees Celsius and it’s breezy and raining lightly outside. For those passengers looking forward to the sunshine in California, you might be disappointed. The runway is slippery, please fasten your seatbelts for the landing. Thank you for choosing us for your flight, we hope your mood. won’t be influenced by the bad weather. Thank you!"
The English announcement woke Zhang Zian from his dream. Noticing that Richard seemed to be absent-minded, he decided to make fun of it. 
"Richard, what are you looking at? What’s up there? Are you looking for a bird, like this one we are flying in?" he curled up his fingers, trying to flick it. 
"You moron, it’s just that some sand grains fell into my eyes." It avoided his attack flexibly, rolled its eyes towards him, and jumped back into its own seat like a gentleman, "Time for landing, fasten your seatbelt. Oh, good news, Los Angeles is raining."
Zhang Zian felt that a murderous stare was being cast on him from his left side.

After a day of fun, they were all lethargic. Rui Xing and Wen Xi were so tired that they slept in the train on their way back to the hotel. They were being carried back to the hotel by Li Nang and Shang Ying. 

The next morning, Rui Xing was shocked to find herself in her hotel bed. Was all that happened at Disney Sea just a magical dream? Did it not happen in real life? Rui Xing thought to herself. 

"Morning," Shang Ying said. 

"Morning, what happened last night? Did we go to Disney Sea yesterday? How did I get back here, I don't remember me walking back to the room," Rui Xing babbled curiously to Shang Ying. 

"Yes, we did go to Disney Sea. And, as to how you got back here, I carried you back. You and Wen Xi fell asleep in the train so Li Nang carried her back, I carried you back," he explained to her.

"Oh, sorry for the trouble. You could've woken me up..."

"However, you looked really tired last night so I didn't want to wake you up..."

"But I'm pretty sure you were tired too!" 

"It's fine," he said nonchalantly.

"Okay then... What's happened happened. So what are we doing today?," Rui Xing asked him another question.

"We're going Harajuku Street if I'm not wrong!" 

"Oh my! I've been waiting for this!! I really want to go to this hedgehog café in Harajuku! Could we go there for tea or lunch??" Rui Xing was so enthusiastic about going to Harajuku Street.

They again, met Li Nang and Wen Xi downstairs. But today, they didn't eat breakfast at the hotel. 

As Shang Ying and Rui Xing got out of the lift, they saw Li Nang and Wen Xi chatting about something on the phone.

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Shang Ying asked curiously. 

"Oh that, it's nothing," Wen Xi said while keeping her phone in her pocket. 

"Show us!" Rui Xing said.

"Don't get angry ok? I just don't want this to affect the rest of our holiday," she said showing them an article on her phone. 

The article was about a picture of Shang Ying and a girl which was obviously Rui Xing. It was of him carrying Rui Xing, alighting the train the night before. And along with the photo, it says, Isn't this Shang Ying? The son of one of the biggest companies in Singapore, Hana Entertainment, is seen being with a woman in Japan. Is he on a holiday with this woman? Who is she? What happened to Shang Ying's relationship with Ning Ning? How would Ning Ning feel about this? Does Ning Ning know? 

Shang Ying and Rui Xing's facial expressions changed after seeing the article. Rui Xing tried to stay positive and said, "Let's not let the media affect us." They nodded and Wen Xi as usual led the way to the train station to go to Harajuku. Although they agreed not to let the news affect them, Shang Ying still felt a little furious as to why the person who he or she is, had to post an article about this situation. He felt like it wasn't any of their businesses so why must they make a big deal about it and tell the whole world that he is on a holiday with his what the world views as his girlfriend. Shang Ying thought to himself while waiting for the train to arrive. Why must people always make assumptions? Don't people know what privacy is? Can't people respect people's lives? Is this what popular people have to deal with? With paparazzi following them? They must have done something outstanding that cause paparazzi to follow them but I didn't, so why must they invade in my privacy? After thinking about all these thoughts, he came back to reality. 

Rui Xing noticed that Shang Ying didn't deal with the article situation very well, that he was a bit furious and angry about it. She tried to calm him down by saying positive stuff to him She wanted to pat him on his back but then realized that it might cause much of a controversy. 

"Don't worry, we'll deal with this together after this holiday ends in 3 days time. Don't let this affect you, it's not worth your time. Where's the cheerful and happy Shang Ying I saw at the start of this holiday?" 

Shang Ying was listening to Rui Xing's words but didn't give her a response back. His facial expression turned blank. Was that a good thing? Rui Xing didn't know so she started telling him puns [1]. By the time Rui Xing was about to tell him the first pun, the train arrived so the 4 of them walked into the train. Li Nang saw that Rui Xing was trying to comfort him but had no form of physical contact so he felt good. His eyes were glued to Rui Xing the entire time in the train but Rui Xing didn't know. 

"Ok, first one, what kind of cheese is not yours?" She paused for second to wait for his response but he didn't answer her because he doesn't know the answer. 

"Nacho (not-your) cheese!" Seeing Rui Xing trying her best to make him cheer up led a smile on his face. She was trying to hard which was funny. It wasn't the pun that made Shang Ying grin, but Rui Xing herself.

"Oh yes success! You smiled! Finally," Rui Xing exclaimed. There was a brightly lit smile on Rui Xing's face.

Looking at Rui Xing's smile, Li Nang, also smiled to himself. Wen Xi looked at Li Nang and she, too smiled. 

Wen Xi still likes Li Nang. Li Nang and Shang Ying likes Rui Xing. Who does Rui Xing like? Or does she even like anyone of them? What will happen?

"That's a wild idea," Mr. Lucero said. "Theoretically, it may not be possible since a meteor can be so hot that it burns anything on its path, including its own content."

"An Earth life will be burned for sure," Jamie offered his opinion. "But we do not know for an alien life. It might survive the heat."

"Or might not as well," Mr. Lucero objected. "Besides, we do not if there are really aliens or some life outside our world."

"Some superheroes are not from Earth!" somebody shouted.

Immediately, the class laughed at the idea. Mr. Lucero was amused that these kids would be so interested with meteors and aliens. At the same time, he could not really fuel their curiosity. He did not want them to be bothered by the recent event in Subangdaku.

"Are there anymore questions?" he asked.

Just then, the school bell rang. It was time for the next class. Mr. Lucero packed up his things and the next teacher occupied his seat. The rest of the day was both fun and exciting for the students. Despite being too crowded in the room, they enjoyed being sitted together with new faces or ex-classmates. Almost everyone participated in the class discussions.

"Today was really cool," Kiko concluded. It was already five in the afternoon and they were about to go home.

"I could not agree more," Bogart concurred. "Will we still be classmates tomorrow?"

"I don't think so," Jamie answered. "All classrooms had been checked already and the scientists had found nothing."

"So we will be back to our old schedules."

The boys sighed. Slowly, they boarded their bikes and began their ride home.

"You are still quiet, Tonton," Kiko observed. "I don't think you are okay."

"You were about to say something earlier today when Mr. Lucero suddenly showed up and started class," Bogart said.

"And we forgot about it later," Jamie added. "What was it about?"

Tonton stopped pedalling his bike, and so did the other boys. They were already a good distance from the school, and just almost nearing the haunted house. It was another cold afternoon but their sweats were evident. They looked at Tonton and waited for him to say something.

"I am not actually feeling alright since the explosion two nights ago," Tonton began. "I am not sick but something really awful is bothering me."

Tonton momentarily fell quiet. The silence was broken by the flapping of wings by a passing flock of sparrows. The silhouette of the dark brown birds against the dusky sky was like a classical canvass painting. The three boys looked up and their gaze followed the direction where the birds were heading, leaving Tonton with his contemplation, head bowed and hands shaking.

"Can you still remember what happened to each one of us right after the supposed collision?" he finally continued.

His friends nodded their head. Bogart elaborated, "We lost consciousness. It felt like we were sleeping."

"And then we dreamt," Jamie continued. "They were not really dreams, but more of memories."

"Yes, ours were like memories," Kiko said. "But you said yours was about the future."

"Did Tonton really said that?" Bogart asked.

"Not really like that, but it was something like the future. I heard him say future."

"Yes, I remembered as well," Jamie supported Kiko, then turned to Tonton. "I heard you but we were really scared that time that we lost track of everything."

"Yes, you are all right," Tonton answered. "I also had memories in my dream but something else appears. It was like somebody else's memories came into my dream."

"That's unbelievable!" Bogart exclaimed. "How can you have someone's memories?"

"I don't know. I kept seeing the same people unfamiliar to me so I think those memories were owned by another person."

"So where is the future?" Kiko interrupted. "They were still memories, although those were not yours."

"That's the puzzling part," Tonton said. "Apart from those memories, I saw something that may happen in the future. I saw a war but people were blasting lasers that can cut down trees." 

"I also dream of laser beams sometimes," Bogart chuckled. "It's just normal for kids like us to have that kind of dream. We like fighting games." 

"But Bogart, this is different. It felt so real, it was like some kind of warning. I can sense they must have meanings. They were not just some random memories or dreams. And they keep coming back. Last night -"

"What?" Jamie cut him. "You dreamt about those things again?"

"Yes."

"I haven't. I only had my dreams two nights ago. And they did not come back."

The other two boys also consented with Jamie.

"But mine has come back. It came to torment me again last night."

Tonton began to sobbed. Immediately, his friends walked towards him and encircled him with an embrace.

"Tell us about your dreams," Jamie said.

Slowly, Tonton described to them everything he had dreamt for the last two nights. He did not leave out anything; instead, he provided as much details as he could remember. He narrated the events and conversations of the couple who kept appearing in the dreams, as well as the laser wars, the falling star, and the gigantic jellyfish-like monster. 

They must have talked for a long time because when they had finished, it was already dark. The sky was now enveloped with darkness. Only the faint glow of few cute stars illuminated it. Random sounds from crickets and crawlies were heard everywhere.

The boys thought about the dreams Tonton shared to them. The significance of some events were too vague and difficult to understand, while others were scary, just like the meteor and the monster.

Once again, the sparrows sprang into the night air, filling it with echoes and sounds of their restless wings. The boys could not entirely see them in the darkness but they knew they were just near them.

"These birds are acting weird," Kiko commented.

When the birds were gone, they looked at Tonton. They could sense their friend's uneasiness and so they tried to comfort him.

While they were in a gloomy mood, a small bright light was seen steadily moving from the top corner of the sky. It was moving towards Subangdaku....

Situated between a large river and verdant mountains, Subangdaku is a peaceful and laid-back community. For the Biker Brothers - Jamie, Tonton, Bogart and Kiko, life in the district was all fun and easy. Until something happens.....

Two "meteors" hit the once quiet district. In the succeeding days, scientists and media flocked in Subangdaku, disturbing its serenity and bringing changes to the community. How far can the people face the challenges?

Meanwhile, a girl with golden locks arrives in the primary school. She swept the hearts and eyes of everyone, including the Biker Brothers. Yet, the four friends felt something is really off about her. Who is she? What are her secrets?

As Subangdaku embraces the consequences of the "meteor" impact, the Biker Brothers must race to confront the changes within them. As evil lurks and intends to destroy the townspeople, the boys must speed to stop it with the help of their friends and loved ones. Will they triumph? Or will the evil simply destroy them?

New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday/Sunday.

Prince Hue Chi meandered his way up the stairs to the second level of the deck and then up to the third floor.
There were a few tables closer to the center and a few tables alongside the edges by the rails. The tables would get moved around for decoration purposes but when the deck was not being used, the tables were moved back and spread evenly on the floor.
Prince Hue Chi eyed one table closer to the center of the deck and sat on a chair. Not far from the center table, there was the elevator that was centered closer to the back of the deck. Behind the elevator was the back with the walkway behind the elevator.
Prince Hue Chi sat leaning back on the chair with one of his legs crossed over the other. He thought of his routine dreams and the dream that he had gotten earlier. He could tell from the emotional connect in his dreams that the woman was someone he had dearly loved. Someone he had loved more than anything else.
None of the women he had met in this life had ever made him feel the way he felt in his dreams. If she was someone, he had loved more than his own life, how was he supposed to find her in the vast wide world? Was she even in the life where he was?
Hue Chi thought of all the possibilities of his dreams and their meanings.
Just then, Yu Sha walked from the back of the deck and saw Hue Chi's side profile. He sat still gazing into the distance. His muscular figure and handsome canvas made him look like a statue on which god had spent several hundreds of hours molding carefully.
Hue Chi sensed movement on his side and turned around to look at the same time Yu Sha spotted him. It alarmed her to see someone past midnight, wandering around since she had always been the only one who wandered in the night.
When she had a good look, she realized that the man was none other than the stuck-up man she saw the last time with his girlfriend.
Yu Sha wasn't sure whether to turn around and go back or go forward past Hue Chi. 'Wha... what is he doing here at this time of the night? Why is he, occupying my space?' Yu Sha felt flustered that in her mind, she claimed territory.
Prince Hue Chi was equally surprised to see Yu Sha up loitering around that time of night. He realized that she was in a deep dilemma just from her body gesture and facial expression.
Hue Chi knew that she was probably as shocked as he was. As he thought for a while, he could see it as a good opportunity to probe for some information from her. "Sit here." He initiated the conversation.
Hue Chi repositioned himself on the chair to sit more upright.
'What the hell? Shouldn't he ask me if I want to go sit? Why is his way of speaking so demanding?' Yu Sha thought, but since she did not want to stand there like a lost and confused kid, she decided to accept his invitation.
She walked slowly over to the table and sat across from Hue Chi. Under the big night skies full of shining stars, there was not a single soul awake but two people sat there, about four feet apart from each other.
"Um... What are you doing here?" she asked softly.
"Probably the same as you are?" Hue Chi replied.
'Tsch... What a pain! He asks me to sit but refuses to give me a proper answer when I ask him a question. Great.'
"I'm here because I can't sleep and need to walk off my wakefulness."
In a low manly tone, Hue Chi replied, "Same here." It was true. He couldn't sleep after the dream so he decided to change the environment by walking around.
Yu Sha hated his way of talking. She found him hard to believe. What happened to that girlfriend of his? She thought, and her thought manifested. "By yourself?"
"Should I be with someone else?"
"Um... well, why didn't you ask your girlfriend to walk with you?"
Somehow Hue Chi couldn't help but love seeing every part of her reaction. "Which one?"
Yu Sha slammed her hand on the table. 'Bastard!' So, he had more than one girl? What did girlfriend mean to him anyway? She already did not like his attitude the last time, but she didn't think he could be an enemy of womankind.

Yu Sha was born prematurely and her heart wasn’t fully closed. The first several years of her life, were often spent in the hospital undergoing procedures. But she did not let her condition defined who she is. She worked hard and excelled in sports and PE class. 

Su Na’s mother had gone through a traumatic experience which caused her to be frequently hospitalized. As long as she could remember, she never had a father. It wasn’t until later she learned the ugly truth and make it her life long mission to build her own empire in order to crush the person who made her mother suffered. 

The hospital was where they met and became good friends. They attended the same classes and schools. Upon graduating early, they embarked on a journey to stardom to build Su Na’s empire. 


Hue Chi, Prince of Aires, had everything anyone could dream of but carried an illness to himself. The woman that haunted him in his sleep, who was she? How was she able to control his emotions, waking him up in the middle of the night, sometimes, in terror, in pain, and sometimes in happiness? The emotions she elicits locked his heart cold, unable to like any other woman, thus distancing himself from others. People are scared to approach him due to the distant and icy auras around him. 

Just as the universe planned it, Yu Sha and Su Na won their bid on a project in Aires, which will require them to live in Aires for at least half a year. As Prince of an entire continent, he felt unsettled of two young female prodigies. Do they come with hidden motives? Not sure if they have anything to do with the secret organization he has been after, he ordered them to fly into Aires for a meet and greet with the investors and other companies involved in the project. 

Unforeseen in his calculation, his eyes drifted towards her anytime she was nearby. He reasoned with himself that he just wanted to make sure of her status and purpose, but somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t gravitate away. The way she talked, her behaviors, her voice, and demeanor elicited the same emotions of the woman that haunted him in his dreams. 

Some may think destiny is cruel and some may think that destiny is kind for playing with people’s heart, as it seemed the world was not small enough to allow them to be lovers, but not wide enough so their path will never cross.
