Wang enters to Xin's room, he was resting on the couch. Opposite to him, the superior physician is standing, he is making some medicines for Xin. The physician confers his respect for Wang when he entered the room. Wang sits on the couch, touch Xin's hands.
"Wang, Is that you?" Xin guesses by the familiar touch.
"Yaa, It's me." Wang feels sorry for Xin. "It's all my fault. If I listen to you there, these things will never happen." He blamed himself.
"It's not your fault, I'm the one who carelessly acted there. What happened, it can't be changed. Within a few days, I will regain my sight and strength. So don't blame yourself anymore." Wang tightly holds his hands. "Wang, how you feeling now? I heard from others, you also in the unconscious state."
"I'm alright, that's just happened because of dehydration. You need to take a good rest, I will see you later." Wang slowly takes his hand back and show expression to the physician to meet him outside.
The physician meets Wang outside the room. They just keep a distance from the room, so their talk shouldn't hear by Xin.
"Uncle Lu, What his condition? If his eyesight problem can be treated?" Wang eagerly asks his doubts about Xin's condition.
"Xin will be alright in a few days, but his eyesight--" Uncle Lu paused.
"What is it? Just speak."
"There are medicines for it, but without figure out what kind of poison they used to make him blind, I can't give it to him. If I take a risk and maybe it fails then his eyesight will go forever, simply says he become blind."
"That means you can't do anything to save his sight. He is the future king of Xiong, without his eyesight how will he fight with the enemies. Uncle Lu, do something---"
"Wang, I'm trying my best. Within 10 days if I couldn't figure out what kind of poison is that then--" Uncle Lu stops the conversation and went back to Xin.
---At the forest---
Xin and Hua reach the lake. The lake was covered with the pink petal of the nearby tree. On the night with shinny moon, the lake seems to be a romantic spot.
"Wow, wonderful. I never saw such a thing in my whole life." Xia has seen as excited.
"Me too." Hua's mouth was half-opened.
"All these years, lived near the lake you never saw it," Xia questioned her expression after seeing the lake.
"No one had the guts to come here in the night. Then how should I saw the night view of here." Hua felt a disappointment.
Suddenly something moved from their backside. The leaves were shows the presence of something near them. Xia and Hua slowly turn their heads to the direction. Hua's face expression changed to fear, she tights the grip on the stick.
"It's the wind. Nothing there." After looking towards the direction, Hua said with relief.
'Why I feel strange? The feeling is like something worse going to happen.'
"You need to hurry, go and take a bath" Hua advised Xia.
"Eeeerrrggg---" A sound appeared from the forest.
Sparkling red eyes have seen in the darkness. Within seconds the beast appeared in front of Xia. He looks different when compared to Wang. His upper part is like a human but the rest is like a snake. He also had some signs in his face.
"Beast---" Xia stood there with an extreme shock. Immediately, Hua strikes him with the stick she holds. On one hit the stick broke into two pieces. He angrily looks towards Hua, without waiting a second she screamed and run towards the opposite direction leaving Xia there.
"Run Xia, run---" On the run, Hua's spoke.
Xia slowly steps backward, he comes close to her. The beast takes a deep breath, senses her smell. After that, he showed some weird expressions. His red eyes were slowly turned to black, the wildness shown in his face was removed. He looked at the surroundings like he isn't aware of where he is.
"Dragon---" a voice appeared from the beast.
Xia was observing his changes and she understood that something was wrong with the beast. He takes his step forward to Xia.
"Don't go back, you will fall." Xia slowly looked to the backside, She is near to the lake.
Suddenly a sword comes out from the beast's body and his blood were spout on the ground. He fell to the ground, Xia saw a man standing behind him.
Xia felt an aura emerging from his body(imagination). She rubbed her eyes and look towards the man. The man's charming face seems quite familiar to Xia.
"Zheng---"Xia spoke.
A friendly smile appeared on Zheng's lips and come towards Xia.
"Are you ok, laa--" abruptly his legs slip and he falls to Xia. Xia's body can't manage his weight, so she also fell backward. Both of them fell to the lake.
A few seconds later, both of them sitting on the ground. Zheng gently looks towards Xia, at the same time Xia slightly looked at him. Not knowing how to start a conversation both stuck in the situation.
"You should change your clothes unless you get cold." Zheng takes her dress from the ground, carried earlier and he held it out to her.
Xia just confusingly looked at him and takes the clothes.
'After pushing me to the water, at least he should ask, am I ok or not.'
"Ok," she said. Zheng still standing next to her, so Xia stares at him and gestured him to move from there.
"Oh--" he just moved to a distance, so she gets privacy.
After changing to a white long gown, Xia looks more pretty. She comes towards Zheng, but suddenly her leg angle twists.
"Aaa" she falls to the ground, instantly Zheng holds her and slowly sits her to a rock. Examine what happens to her leg.
"It's just a sprained ankle, I can fix it." Xia tightly closed her eyes, while he twists her legs. Zheng smile at her innocent expression.
Zheng takes out the petals from her hair. Xia eyes were looking at him, slowly her white cheeks turned to red.
"Now try to walk," Zheng told her. Still, a little pain is occurring, but she says ok.
"You can't go alone this night, I will come with you." Xia tried to say no but he insists, so she said yes, and they walk towards Hua's house. From Xia's walking, he understood that she had pain in her legs, so he lifts her in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Xia shockingly asked.
"If you walk with this pain on legs, then it makes worse than you think. So be a good girl. Now tell me, how to reach your house."
