There was a little building in the middle of the lotus lake,surrounded by countless beautiful lotus flowers...

A little girl in a light- blue dress was staring at the flowers but her mind was somewhere else....

"Our young miss is not doing anything rash ,is she?"Mi Zin whispered to her friend...,looking at the small figure in the middle of Lotus flowers... She seemed to be in a daze....

Oh Buddha! Please don't let strange ideas into my Miss' head...

"Our miss is not that kind of person!" Mi Yin told her that. But she seemed to be worried as well.

" Why would Miss mention about her engagement to the ninth prince? She was not interested in this before... "

That is exactly what Pa Pa Sen was thinking right now...

He still remember the expression on his daughter face when she asked him about the ninth prince...

It was quite cold....

Well,it's not like this daughter of his is always smiling .. but...

....

Three days ago, in Pa Pa Sen's study....

"So,What was his name again?"

Girl,you even forgot his name?!

"Ninth prince,Feng Jiu"

And he heard her click her tongue.

What!

"How old is he this year..?"

"twelve,I suppose "

"His health?"

"He is sick most of the time"

"Not the rumor,father. Is he really sick?"

"Since ,three years ago.... when the late emperess died in the fire,his cultivation was desteoyed too... "

#Sigh#

"His appearance? "

"Disfigured"

"Dis- disfigured? "

That time,the whole study room's temperature reached freezing point.

That Girl's face was as cold as the snow lake during winter ...

But,not for long...

"Father,who will you support in the

battle for the crown?"

Girl,don't ask such taboo questions all of a sudden!

"This is not a question that should be asked!" What if this reached the emperor's ears!?

"Don't support anyone if you can,Father."

Oh,what a sensible child...

"And don't do anything that would provoke the ninth prince..."

"Did you do anything to harm him in the past?Even if you involved indirectly,tell me about it"

What!? "No,I haven't ..."

"Phew,That's good then. Goodbye, Father,Don't overwork yourself"

.....

That was the longest time they talked ... but the topic was quite ....

"Ay,do you like him or do you not like him?"

Pa Pa Sen scratched his head...

"Master?"

"Nothing,...Ah,What was your third miss doing three days ago?"

"Three days ago,?" The man thought hard",Young miss went to the Heavenly pavilion to buy some herbs.She rest for some times and did exercises.She went to the library. And talked with the eldest miss and the second mistress."

"Oh? No wander she asked about this then..."

Those women must have told her something disturbing...

...

Indeed,that was quite disturbing... to her memories for one thing...to her heart for another....

...

#Rumble#

The sky grew dark and lightings stroke down in the distance as the rain begun to pour....

Sen Thider was still gazing at the lotus flowers ...

"Feng Jiu..."She muttered the name as she thought about it...

...

Sen Thider was quite sure that something about her was different from other children around her age .

She always had a feeling that she knew more than this whenever she study or practice martial arts..

And so,she threw herself into studying and cultivation...

After she turned eight,she started to have strange dreams...

Things that bright when you switch a button,a place where strange weapons were kept,advance medical skills,Strange clothings,different languages and strange tools ....

She didn't mind these dreams as they were quite benefit for her...

But now....

In one of her dreams ,Sen Thider read about a novel whose antagonist has the same name as herself... well,it's not just the name,her birthday ,looks,her birthmark,her family,her closes maids and her fiance ,and are all the same.. But,something was different...some minor things are not the same with the plot.

Like how the third miss is the follower of the eldest miss.. or that she liked the crown prince or how she made the life of her second sister miserable....

About this Feng Jiu guy....

"Tch"

Thider smiled coldly...

If he dare harm my family for

something,.... He'll know what it means by the word "living hell"

...

"Miss?"

Mi Zin looked at her young miss and sighed .

"Miss, It's cold out here,Why don't we go back?"

#Rumble#

One of the lightings suddenly stroke down into the lotus lake .

"Ahhh"

Mi Zin and Mi Yin both hugged Thider and covered her ears...and eyes, catching her off-guard.

Thider was quite speechless.

"If you are afraid of thunder, cover your own ears..."

But her heart felt warmth for some reason despite the cold outside...

"Miss used to be afraid of thunder before..." Mi Zin said

after Thider moved away from them....

"I have grown up..."Thider said cooly while stretching out for a bit.

"....." Zin and Yin stared at the serious nine year old in front of them . She was looking out to the place where the lighting stroke .

Half of her body was already out in the lighten rain....

Yep,our miss has grown up!

They both thought.

"What's that?"Thider said as she reached out to touch the glowing light upon the lotus near the building. But the distance was a little too far for her to reach and...

#Splash#

"Young miss!"

"Crap!"Thider said as she was enveloped in the light before everything went dark....

....

"Ay,What did you train for? Slipping like a one year old while reaching out to get something that is far from you in the middle of a lake!? What were you doing? Are you mad?"An old voice muttered, annoyed at her carelessness.

And she heard sounds of bells and rustling leaves. A cool breeze swift passed her.

"What genius,this is a crazy brat with a great foundation wasted on her!"The old voice angrily scolded her again...

"Don't scold people when they are in trouble..."

Thider muttered before her head started to ache.

At first it was as if something was trying to get into her head from her right temple . It was like her head was drilled.Then ,Someone nailed into her head or so it seemed.

Then,countless familier scenes and words swirled inside her head ....

It took about half a day before the pain was gone...

Thider slowly opened her eyes.

It was dark.

She flinched before blinking for a bit and opened her eyes again.

Still very dark...

There was nothing to see nor hear..

Thider felt her heart clenched.. .

#Cough#

She closed her eyes tightly and coughed a few times...hopping that no one would answer and that this was all a dream.

"Miss? Miss woke up!"

That was Mi Zin's voice.

Thider's heart fell.

Thider used her spiritual sense to examine the surrounding...

Great ,Only Zin and Yin...

"Water..."

"Yes ,Miss" Zin said and Thider,with all her might,listened Zin's footsteps ,the kettle's lid and the the flow of water into the jade cup...and the breathe of four people in the room.

Wait,four people?

Apart from herself,there is Zin and Yin.The outsider must be from father.... or else...

Thider examined the fourth party and got a familier present.

Right,this is Uncle Gin,Father's

aid.No problem...

She was 'weakly ' sitting up on her bed while leaning against the pillow with her eyes lowered.

"How long was I asleep?"

Yin answered her"Miss,It's been three days..."

No wander I feel stiff. Thider lamented. Not gonna lose control like this again....

She drank the whole cup and said

" I'm a bit tired,you guys can go rest too. "

Then,she dropped another bomb onto the frozed duo er..trio

" Don't tell others that I woke up.

If someone knows about this,I'm gonna spank her.. or him " She looked up at the ceiling and smiled..

"Got that?"

Gin gluped and patted his chest .

That kid is abnormal.

"Also,no guests around these days."

And she slept like a log for the next three days.

...

Silver Fox made for a run.

She was being hunted by some mercenaries for these past few weeks.

There was someone who wanted her head and made a generous sum as a deposit.,note that it was still a deposit!The price after the deed is unimaginable.. .

And that person must be a psyco...

He wanted her to suffer before she die... the more, the better.

So,she fight,she hide ,she run...

But they are constantly around to catch her!

Then,one day,she was caught.

.....

Inside the dimmly lit room,

Silver fox woke up to a smell of rot and blood.

She felt weak.She wanted to lie down but the chains around her limbs wouldn't allow her to do so.

Her blood was slipping away from the lashes and the burnt of her flesh made her sick...

There was a knife in her stomach and her feet were nailed.

There were ants and maggots crawling over her body.

Silver fox had wanted to die but that person made sure that she would not die no matter the circumstance.

Her heart felt cold and despair came to knock on her door...

She thought back to all of her missions,but still cannot think about the reason for this treatment.

"Do you regret doing that job?"

The voice that haunted her for so many days appeared before her.

Silver fox begun to shake uncontrollably.

Fear struck her heart countless times whenever she heard this voice.

She regreted leaving her base the most right now....

"You made my sister to experience much more pain then this!"

Then,a photo appeared before her.

" Do you remember now! That child you snatched from our family...

Do yoy remember now?"

Silver fox stared at the girl in the picture.

"I...I remember now.. but that was not me...."

That was the girl she brought to the organization last year .... It was not even a mission but a request from her friend...

She was a poison master....

She didn't even thought about it much....

#Boom#

Then everything exploded..

....

"Miss,Second miss.... Sob.. Sob"

who's crying...

Silver fox opened her eyes....

Eh?

"Miss,you woke up!"

Silver fox stared at the girl in shabby dress before calling out to her....

"Xu Xu,"She looked at her own small hands....

"Fetch some water for me,"

...

Sen Thider was in a sort of a hall room... it's called a hall room ,isn't it?.. ,looking at the paintings of a person and her surrounding... how she grew up ,how she learned things ,how good is her family to her and so on... it was quite interesting as the person in the picture looked like her ,yet ,the clothes and things she saw were not in her place... her world ,perhaps...?

"Idiot,that is you...why are you not accepting your past self?,weirdo..."

The old voice came from behind her.

Thider turned to stare at the .... kitten before her .

Yes,it was a kitten...not an adult cat...

Now,there is one thing about the little aloof Thider that only her closest maids knew about....

"Ohhh,a black furball!"

Thider scooped the little furball up and caressed it with her cheek.

"Dumb human girl,let go of me!

No ,no,no!I am a dignified supreme soul cultivater! Don't you dare! "

"Nooooooooooo"

....

Thider looked up at the angry little kitten on the top of the top of a statue of a woman with a face like her.

"Do you really think you can stay there forever? "

" Ahem,that's not the point here!"The kitten coughed a few times.

"Let me introduce myself,"

The kitten declared while looking into Thider's eyes.

"I am the guardian spirit of the Life bracelet . From now on,I will be your guardian spirit as you managed to possess it.."

Wut?
