599 Leaving Their Home

Days passed before Ming Yue received another letter from the Four Claws, learning of the mission and the plan. But reading it, the young woman wasn't sure how to feel about this. 

"That's right, what if we lost the war? What then?" she wondered to herself, "If I was on my own with the beasts I wouldn't mind but with Hongyu... Would returning be the right choice?"

Looking up, Ming Yue glanced at her home which had lost the vibrance of life from before.

Nearly everything was gone. 

From the orchard and the garden to the furniture and decor of the house, everything was stored within her ring. 

"It's too late now. If it does end up being a battlefield over there, At the very least, I have to keep her out of harm's way."

The young woman then looked back at the letter, even revealing an amused smile.
