Jiang Ying Yue's eyes flew open and she found herself back in the forest sitting around the stone table.
The empty flask of red liquid was still sitting on the table in front of her while she was clutching the blue one in her palm. It was a wonder that she hadn't already crushed it considering how tight her fingers were wrapped around it.

Her heart was filled with heaviness and a flood of emotions shook her from the very core. She could feel her body trembling as she tried to keep her emotions in check.
Taking in a deep breath, she uncorked the blue liquid flask and drank the content in one go. It was time for her to find out the answer to her second question.
