When Li Meirong reached the entrance to what seemed to be a shrine, she was pleasantly surprised to find it appeared to have been tidied up.
Gone were the tangled vines, shrubs and weeds. Instead, there were flower bouquets of pale Peonies and Magenta Camellias placed inside tall decorative vases shaped like butterfly wings.
She sauntered into the building and headed towards the luxurious lounge. It looked the same as before, magnificently structured with brightly painted walls and decorated with ornaments painted royal red and gold. Several lotus-shaped lanterns cast a soft light, giving the dwelling a warm and hospitable feel.
Li Meirong was slightly disappointed to find that upon her arrival, the area remained silent and empty. Chou and Feng Huang were nowhere to be found. She also wondered where Snowball had run off to.
'I thought they would be eager to see me...' Li Meirong thought, sullen.
