Her pink eyes slowly opened as she abruptly got up from the bed. Imidiatly glancing around, seeing the room's interior design that was not similar to her's.
No cute stuffed animals and anime boy posters stuck onto the wall, her gadgets weren't there either. She also didn't saw any balcony door present.
A frown made it's way to her soft and pale face. Her hopes of waking up from this strange 'dream' shattered to pieces.
"It's not a dream..." She sighed in frustration while aggressively scratching the back of her long blueberry hair.
A few moments later she heared a faint knock on the door. Letting the person come in by replying a simple 'come in'.
The door opens and in goes a petit looking girl wearing servants' uniform she often saw in chinese dramas.
"Greetings my lady, Master Ling wished if you would like to join him for breakfast."
She couldn't say no to food, plus she was also a bit hungry so it's like killing two birds with one single stone.
Like you are, single.

The dining room looked fancy, although the design is still traditional styled. A large square table at the centre, small cushions in place of chairs.
Varying delicacies such as; deserts, main course, ect. All of which looked delicious.
At the very edge and on the other of the table was none other than Tian Ling himself, wearing a different clothing this time.
Ofcourse, she was too busy mouth watering while looking at the food to even bother giving him a glance.
Trying to get her attention as he finally commented. "It's nice to see that you're doing well, I hope." Tian Ling chuckled when he saw the said girl who imidiatly took a seat to chow down the food as if she hadn't eaten for days.
Tao Baihe replied a little later. "Yeah sure I guess." Her mouth was still full yet she still continued the short conversation.
When they were done eating, Tao Baihe decided to go outside for a bit. But not without Tian Ling reminding her to never step out too far.
She agreed, only wanting to go to the lotus lake she saw earlier. The girl really is fond of those flowers along with water lilies and roses.
The scenery looked breathtaking to look at, calming even. Peaceful as you can only hear the nature and some birds singing their beautiful melody.
The sound of the waters flowing down the majestic waterfall. Faint blowing of the wind, after looking around she finally found the perfect spot to relax.
Sitting near the edge of the lake, she unquestionably tried out if the game's system still worked here. Why didn't she thought of that sooner?
She tapped her hand everywhere in the air as if it was a gadget. Afterwards, the all known notification sound rang throughout the surrounding.
*Ding!*
The system's blue translucent screen appeared out of who knows where. She almost cried after seeing her stats.

Tao Baihe wailed to the top of her lungs. "I'm back to zero!!!" Making the poor animals that are hiding around scared and run away, including many birds who flew in different directions.
Regaining back her composure, she tried to calm herself in the best way possible...dunking her head in the lotus lake's water.
Water splashed all over when she returned her head back from the surface. 'It feels good' she taught; referring to the cold water.
Tao Baihe yelled with optimism. "Enough having fun, I need to level up quickly!" Using both hands, she slapped her cheeks intentionally.
'It hurts...' imidiatly regretting it after.
Tao Baihe felt a strong, ominous presence coming near her way. The harsh gushes of wind didn't help calm her.
The bush behind the petit girl suddenly started shuffling repeatedly, it indicated that there was something or someone hiding in the bush.
But what or who?
She could feel her heart beating faster than a speeding race car. Gaining all the courage to come closer and look.
There it revealed to be...."A pig?" She questiones herself, bewildered before it replaced to relief. Letting out a sigh, she was relived for a second there but to no delay she looked back at the creature.
"This pig...I know you! You're that worst rip off ever in the history of pigs." Tao Baihe dramatically gasped, the said creature sweatdrops as it floated out of hiding.
It came closer to her, floating in front of her as it spoke out. "Yeah, sure whatever floats your boat or sinks your ship." Not really insulted at the girl's comments.
Tao Baihe finally realised it as she asks the animal. "Wait a minute, what are you doing here anyway?" A question mark appeared above the girl's head to indicate her confusion, slightly tilting her head to the side.
