In a large hallway where the walls were made out of green jade stood a young girl who was impatiently pacing back and forth in front of a door. The girl bit her fingernails as she paced back and forth in front of the door ever so often taking glances at the door. Finally, the door opened as an old man with a white beard came walking out.
"Father how is the Young Miss!?" Qing'er's face was filled with worry. Ever since the incident that day her young miss has been unconscious and has yet to wake up. It has been five days since that day. The Academies entrance test was put on hold for the day so that the elders could deal with the aftermath. Master Lin Fen had arrived right as Ah Chun had fainted. But ever since then Ah Chun had been in a deep slumber.
"I'm not sure… She seems to be in perfect health well her body anyways but her consciousness seems to be somewhere else. She also won't let go of that sword of hers but it seems to be part of her body. But the power she displayed that day was not something someone of her realm could produce. It seems this disciple of mine has many secrets." Master Lin Fen let out a long sigh. He barely knew anything about this new disciple of his and they had just recently met. Now she was stuck in a deep slumber. Master Lin Fen had no idea when she might wake up.
"Can I go in and see her?" Qing'er felt useless. At that time there was nothing she could do. As soon as her Young Miss's spirit power burst out of her body she was tossed far away. But after remembering the scenes of the other cultivators who got near her Young Miss and how they all turned into mist of blood, Qing'er's face would pale. Because that could have been her.
"Un… Come on in." Master Lin Fen opened the door to reveal a rather large room filled with green jaded furnishings.
On a bed in the center of the room was a young girl who was covered in black and gold lined dragon scales and two little horns poking out of her head along with a tail that poked out from under the covers. This girl was, of course, Ah Chun. Her eyes were closed as her breathing was shallow but steady. It seemed as if she was just in a deep slumber without a care in the world. Next to Ah Chun was another young girl who sat beside the bed staring at Ah Chun's sleeping face. This was Meimei. She had not left Ah Chun's side since the day she found out that something had happened to her Young Miss.
Three people now stood at Ah Chun's bedside Meimei, Qing'er and her master Lin Fen. As the three gazed at Ah Chun. They were all in for a shock as grey streams smoke radiated from her body as they saw Ah Chun's eyes flutter. But this was not the biggest surprise! The biggest surprise was that Ah Chun's body started to shrink in size!
"Father what is happening!?" Qing'er was scared at the sudden changes all she saw was her Young Miss shrinking! No not shrinking but becoming younger!
"Young Miss!" Meimei shouted out. Her whole body shaking as she watched the scene in front of her. She went forward to try to touch Ah Chun's face but a strong firm hand grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Don't go near her! I have no idea what that grey smoke is but it's best not to go near here right now." Master Lin Fen's firm tone shocked Meimei back to reality as she obediently nodded her head.
Ah Chun's body grew younger and younger as she shrunk in size as more grey smoke radiated out of her body. But this gray smoke did not disperse, no it coated Ah Chun's body as it started to gather around her head. This process continued for an hour before it started to finally slow down. Qing'er and Meimei gasped as the looked at the now small figure on the bed. Meimei recognized this shape as the images of when Ah Chun had first come to the palace with the Madam. It was what she looked like before the medical baths! Except now she was still covered in dragon scales with two little horns on her head and a tail to boot. But there was now a new addition to all of this which was the grey looking smoky crown on her head and the grey film-like barrier covering every inch of her body.
Ah Chun's eyes fluttered as they slowly opened up, ever so slowly as she got used to the bright light of the room. What she saw was a room full of green jade around her. "Where is this?" Ah Chun said softly. But was quickly started as she heard a shout.
"She's too cute!" Following the shout, she felt a heavy weight on her body as she was tackled by someone.
Qing'er saw the current Ah Chun and couldn't hold herself back as she immediately shouted out and jumped on to Ah Chun hugging her tightly. The young version of Ah Chun was just too cute! Big bright dark eyes with squishy cheeks added on with the horns and tail, it was just too much for Qing'er to handle and she couldn't hold herself back.
"Qi-QIng'er?" Ah Chun was confused as she looked at QIng'er who was rubbing her cheek up against hers. ' When did Qing'er get so big!? ' A bad premonition befell Ah Chun. She looked at her hands and saw that they were tiny again just like in her dream. Well, she thought it was a dream! "Quick bring me a mirror!"
Miemie quickly handed Ah Chun a mirror. Seeing her reflection Ah Chun's face sank. ' None of it was a dream. That means she was not who she thought she was and that meant Zi Fen... ' Tears once again rolled down Ah Chun's cheeks. Everything was just too much for her as she burst out crying startling everyone.
