"Hua." Yi Hua raises her head, looking around, "Down." Lu Yang Yang mutters, Yi Hua looks down and gasps out loud, "Yang Yang is that you?" She asks, gulping.
"Yeah." Lu Yang Yang replies softly.
"Why this long? And what's with the body?" Yi Hua asks, blinking her eyes in surprise, "Couldn't find any so I came in this body. I hardly found this body."
Lu Yang Yang says, Yi Hua gasps, laughing out loud as she leans her head down watching him, "Oh my god! Hahaha! A lizard?!" Yi Hua shouts, laughing harder, the sight of Lu Yang Yang talking to her as a lizard was amusing and funny.
"Don't laugh!" Lu Yang Yang shouts, growing embarrassed, "Maybe I should just roam around without a body. That would be better." He says, producing a croaking voice at the end that makes Yi Hua burst into fits of laughter.
Some people find her laughing to herself on their way which weirded them out, sharing weird glances and judging looks the people disperse away, "There is a crazy man laughing all by himself. Don't go there." One man says to the woman who was approaching the way towards Yi Hua.
Yi Hua was on the ground, where she was waiting for Lu Yang Yang to arrive, the woman widened her eyes, gasping as she looked at the man, "You are right." The woman says, shaking her head with a disgusted look before she chooses another way.
"People are thinking you are crazy. Stop laughing." Lu Yang Yang says, crawling towards her leg, Yi Hua still laughs, slowing down, she wipes her tears away that were collected at the edge of her eyes.
"Oh god. Imagine a lizard talking and you will find it funny." Yi Hua adds, giggling in between as she leans against the stone wall behind her, Lu Yang Yang rolls his eyes and crawls on her feet, she yelps pushing Lu Yang Yang away from her.
"Now what?! You always throw me away!" Lu Yang Yang grumbles, curling against himself, Yi Hua bites her lip awkwardly, "It's just I never fancied a lizard crawling on me. Sorry." Yi Hua says, extending her hand and trying to touch the lizard's body.
Lu Yang Yang heaves out a sigh watching her hesitantly roaming her finger above him, "Don't touch if you don't want to. I will just come out and find something reliable later on." Lu Yang Yang says, escaping out of the body.
Yi Hua awkwardly grins, Lu Yang Yang looks ahead, "Let's go." Yi Hua presses her lips in a thin line, "I am sorry, Yang Yang." Yi Hua apologizes, she looks at the lizard's dead body before watching Lu Yang Yang floating ahead.
"Wait for me!" She shouts, running and catching up to Lu Yang Yang.

"Zhou Yu, here take this letter to the human land and announce my arrival." Luo Yan says, handing the sealed letter to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu grabs the letter and bows his head down, greeting, before he makes his way out of the room.
Luo Yan takes a deep breath and leans against his throne, he smirks, closes his eyes, and chuckles, "I will make sure to find you." He mumbles, recalling the moments of him watching her.

"How much longer Yang Yang? I am so tired…I have nothing to eat despite the starvation." Yi Hua complains, caressing her stomach which has been growling for a while, Yang Yang turns towards her and heaves out a sigh.
"You are such a pain. I wonder how your mom raised you up." Lu Yang Yang says, slamming his cute palms over his forehead, Yi Hua pouts, offended, she stays silent knowing she has been troubling him a lot.
"Don't worry, we are not that far. Maybe about fifteen minutes." Lu Yang Yang says smiling and giving her thumbs up, "God." She mutters under her breath, just when she takes a few more steps she sees a number of light flames moving around with the rest invisible because of the darkness.
"What are they?" She asks, looking ahead, squinting her eyes for proper sight.
Lu Yang Yang floats ahead and returns back, "They are soldiers." Lu Yang Yang replies back, watching the flames move around beside Yi Hua.
"Did something happen?" Yi Hua questions, scanning the area as she nonchalantly walks ahead, Lu Yang Yang shrugs off, "We will know that once we get back to the palace." He replies back.
"Yang Yang, do you think I am dead back there? Or not? Is it okay to go?" Yi Hua asks, bringing her gaze away from her surroundings and towards Lu Yang Yang.
"I hope not. It wouldn't justify the appearance of you back after death, right?" Lu Yang Yang mutters, exhaling a deep sigh while Yi Hua plays with her finger.
"Your Highness!!"
Yi Hua flinches, gasping as she looks around and finds one of the soldiers pointing his hands towards her and looking at the others, and just in a minute, she finds herself surrounded by the soldiers.
"Your Highness! Why are you out of the palace? The King and the Queen are worried sick." One of the men who seemed to be the head of the soldier spoke, "Eh?" She mutters, surprised.
"You all were looking for me?" She asks, pointing her finger at herself, in surprise, "Your Highness, you should let us take you back." The man speaks, bowing his head while the rest of the soldiers follow while Yi Hua widens her eyes at the scene.
'Woah, this feels so good. Everyone is bowing their heads before me.' Yi Hua thinks to herself and chuckles, "You all can raise your head. Take me back but before we reach the palace take me to a cloth shop and to eat." Yi Hua orders, the head soldier raises his head and nods in agreement.
"Sure, Your Highness. We should get going, it's already dark." The soldier says, "Hurry up and ready the carriage! Also, send a notice to the palace that we found the Second Princess!" The head soldier shouts, and the men disperse around looking for the carriage.
"Finally, I can get back home." She mutters, smiling but frowns when she remembers it is not somewhere she used to be, 'I am ready for the new life!' She says to herself, determined.
