Xiao Ling, who doesn't know that she will have a nice visit, is lying in bed with her mother, thinking about where she has heard the names of her older siblings, but there came a point where her eyelids felt heavy and began to close.
'Ah, what will be, will be, I'll remember it later, first I need a nap...' and with that, Xiao Ling immersed into the world of dreams.
Madam Long who is patting Xiao Ling's little body, can't help but remember every kind of expression the little girl has since she was born. Everything that has happened, that's something she doesn't understand.
Seeing her husband next to her sitting on the bed watching her little daughter with her eyes closed and her breathing even.
She doesn't know whether to ask or not, but as several hours have passed since she went into labor, the energy in her body drained, all she wants to do is lie down on the bed and close her eyes, even if she can't sleep, resting her body and mind is a good option.
But before doing so, she must ask a question that has been bothering her for a while now.
"My Lord..." calling her husband, Madam Long with her exhaustive expression looks straight at him.
"Tell me," Lord Long saw that his wife's tired and worried at the same time, about the fate of their daughter.
"Xiao Ling... And the light... What relationship do they have?" Uneasy was what's written all over her face.
Sighing deeply, he answers her. "If I am not mistaken, Xiao Ling's destiny is too arduous, my grandfather had a dream of a prophecy, but he never told us what exactly it was, only that someone would be born with the same problem as his eyes, green and gold, and that she must undertake a journey, and search for something or someone... That's all I know..."
After a pause, he continued, "It's said that the person who can make such a phenomenon appear in the world must not only receive the blessing of someone or something, but a special phenomenon must manifest in the sky, implying that it is of the utmost importance that both events happen..."
"If what the servants and all the people outside say about the phenomenon that happened in the sky before is true, plus the golden light that entered her body willingly... I'm afraid that she is the one..."
Madam Long looks at her daughter, then closing her eyes for a few seconds, opened them, and an unwavering determination reflecting in her eyes.
"My Lord, we will have to train her, whatever it takes, if her destiny is for a long and arduous journey, she must have the minimum requirement of self-protection."
Lord Long had a conflicting moment. She is the little daughter, he has longed for since he assumed the position he is in, more so because no girl has been born in his family for several generations. She will be the spoiled child of the Long Clan. Besides that, she will get more privileges when they discover she has something to do with her grandfather's prophecy.
Not wanting to put his lovely daughter to such a task, he drew up a plan for her so that she would not have to work too hard and would always be under his protection.
When he came up with the perfect plan his eyes lit up with excitement and fervor, "I know what to do, don't worry my beloved wife, I will make our daughter powerful, but at the same time sweet, sensitive, and we can spoil her to the bones..."
Madam Long did not know whether to laugh or cry because at that moment she realized that her husband's mind and hers were not in sync. And she knew that this plan, he was hatching in his mind, would be what would lead to a perverse lazy lady.

In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, Xiao Ling lay in her new crib, her vibrant eyes looking around curiously.
'Since I fell asleep until I woke up, I don't know how much time has passed, but... What are those little colored lights around? I hadn't seen them before I fell asleep... I'm dreaming? Because they look like cotton candy, like the one from my previous life...'.
While thinking that, she started to play with the little lights, which are bigger than her little hand, following them, trying to catch them. She succeeds with some of them, but then realized something important.
'My body can move very well... It's as if my limbs and my motor skills don't prevent me from moving despite my baby body...'
Xiao Ling's body and mind cannot match the age of her soul, but apparently, the light that entered her small body helped her adapt to the environment. Not only that, her body seems to have a layer of gold around it.
While she was playing and analyzing the situation of her body, a white light appeared above her crib.
Xiao Ling thought it was someone who turned on the light, but remembered that she was in an unfamiliar place that had not seen electric power.
Another thing she realized is that she doesn't know where she is. In her excitement at seeing that she has parents and older siblings who expressed their adoration for her, she forgot to analyze her current situation. But she will have to leave that for another time, for the moment she has to deal with the white light.
The white light disappeared when she started to focus her attention on it.
Disappointed by such an event, she did not realize that when the white light disappeared, a golden ball appeared.
The golden ball fell into Xiao Ling's arms, which left her in shock. And it frightened her.
Xiao Ling is a baby who was just born a few hours ago, and while it is true, she can control her motor skills, that does not mean she can defend herself from any threat.
But it startled her when the golden ball moved... And what greeted her was... A guinea pig with golden fur and a white spotted head, as well as huge black eyes that stared steadily at Xiao Ling in awe.
The robust body with short limbs, a large head, and eyes, and short ears. The feet have hairless soles and short, sharp claws. There are four toes on the forefeet and three on the hind feet.
It can say that the little thing is just a little smaller than her.
Not knowing what to do, all they did was exchange glances.
Xiao Ling moved her hand over and caressed him. In return, she gives it a toothless smile, and the excitement couldn't conceal in her eyes.
'In my past life, I always wanted a pet!!!! And the first thing that falls from the sky for me is a guinea pig? YAY!!!'
Xiao Ling's excitement, leave astonish at the rodent. Having human intelligence, the little animal asked her.
"How excited are you to see me?" The voice that came out of the guinea pig was childish and funny.
The question made Xiao Ling stare at it with her enormous eyes, her mouth open, and her hands on her meek cheeks.
The rodent watched as it dumbfounded the baby at its question and remembered what its father told him.
<<<<<<<<
A small rodent stands in front of a man in his twenties, Tao.
"No matter what happens, try to act cute in front of her, but don't talk for a while, until she can understand you..."
"Son, remember... Just talk to her until she can understand you..."
The little rodent didn't know whether to laugh or cry... "Father, what is that supposed to mean? When will I know she can understand me?"
Tao replied, "When she can talk!"
<<<<<<<<
"Oh, no!" the little guinea pig got frustrated.
