Gao Lan Mei woke up in the morning feeling so tired. She can still feel a slight headache, which made her remember what happened earlier. Recalling the strange sudden image of Wei Jiayi, Gao Lan Mei is confused.
Is what she saw a vision? Or perhaps a dream? However, the more she thinks about it and tries to force herself to think more about it, the more her head hurts.
While thinking deeply, Gao Lan Mei heard scratching somewhere. The sounds seem to be coming from outside the door.
Gao Lan Mei stood up and lazily went to the door to check what is causing the noise, and she found out that it is from Kai Kai. The hound that is always missing especially when she is in the kitchen.
The pup is currently wagging its tail, tongue lolling at the side of its mouth before it barks to Gao Lan Mei playfully.
"Good morning," Gao Lan Mei cannot resist the adorable pup. Even she is not feeling well, she still crouches down to pick up the hound that immediately purred after comfortably settling to her arms.
Gao Lan Mei smiled, "Did Jiayi left you to protect me?" she asked Kai Kai, "But you won"t even eat the food that I cooked." she added teasingly after flickering the nose of the hound.
Kai Kai just whimpered slightly, after covering its eyes with its front paws. "Mistress, it was dangerous." the hound though.
Since it is unable to voice out any explanation, the coward beast can only look at Gao Lan Mei with a puppy dog eyes, trying to act more adorable hopping it is enough to be forgiven.
With a smirk, Gao Lan Mei glanced at Kai Kai before speaking, "Be a brave beast and I will give you a reward."
Gao Lan Mei walks out of the room as she wants to visit her mother and talk further regarding the Keeper"s ancestral valley. She wants to know more about it so she can prepare.
There are some guards and servants on her way out, unlike yesterday when she took a bath.
Gao Lan Mei thought that it is best to get a bath first before eating, however, she is really feeling hungry so she decided to visit the dining room first and get something to eat.
Kai Kai just stayed on its mistress" arms comfortably when its ears perked up suddenly, furs raise up in alertness, before it growled threateningly, "Grrr…" the hounds red eyes brightened.
It swiftly got off from its comfortable position on Gao Lan Mei arms to land on the ground then transformed to its original large body, trying to protect its mistress.
Kai Kai remembered Wei Jiayi, its master making sure to remind it to always keep its mistress safe.
Gao Lan Mei frowned, as confused to what Kai Kai is doing. It did not take long though when the female shadow guards surrounded her as well.
The way towards the kitchen is already too narrow for a large hound and the female shadow guards so Gao Lan Mei is more uncomfortable than curious to the reason why they are crowding around her.
"What are yo-" Gao Lan Mei tried to ask but stopped when another group of beings arrived. She really wants to be somewhere else, probably a large area good enough to fit everyone.
With the color of the armor and the s.h.i.+zi Empire emblem, that they wear it seems the new arrivals are part of the royal soldiers.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Li Mao exclaimed. Behind her is Lou Ren and Li Shao who is completely free but his hair is still blue. The annoyance on Li Shao face is clearly seen because of his scowl.
