Gu Bailu was a woman of her word. She said she would bring Qian'er back, and she did.
Now that Lu Fenying knew that she was dead, she didn't have to worry about him being her nightmare anymore; she had broken away completely.
To Qian'er, the air smelled of freedom.
Seeing Gu Bailu come in, she smiled brilliantly. "Master, am I dreaming? I'm really back in Prince Zi's house!"
Gu Bailu took her hand and sat down. "You're not dreaming. We're all back, but I have to tell you something."
Qian'er's face tensed up. "What… what is it?"
"Don't be scared. Lu Fenying is coming to Southern Glory Empire." Gu Bailu had to make sure that Qian'er was prepared, in case they gave the game away when Lu Fenying arrived.
Qian'er's face changed drastically. She had thought that everything was a beautiful dream just now, but a sudden bolt from the blue woke her up.
So, it really was a dream?
And she had now woken up from it.
