"Wow!" Little Dragon watched sadly as his new toy nearly disappeared in the air. He patted his little chubby hands and put them around its mother's neck. It leaned its small head on her shoulder, feeling tired.
Yun Jiuge held Little Dragon tight. In a daze, she came to the crater where Zi Shang fell from the air.
She smelled the remnants of Zi Shang's scent in the air. She went soft in her knees and slumped to the ground. Her mind was a complete blank.
"Um ma!" Little Dragon babbled, and then tugged a handful of Yun Jiuge's hair hard.
Next, the blackened Magic Cauldron dropped and almost smashed Yun Jiuge's toes.
"Master, don't be sad. I've used the Soul Retrieval Wood to gather Lord Zi Shang's soul for safekeeping," Cute Little Baby's urgent voice rang out in Yun Jiuge's Subconscious mind, instantly pulling her back from the brink.
"Where is it?" Yun Jiuge's voice could not help shaking.
