23 Shocked and Gone

The necklace was identical to his wife's! The pennant was a half moon just like his wife's. However, with a closer look, from what he remembered how his wife's pennant was like, it looked slightly different.

It seemed both pennants were meant to be connected to one another. Mi Rong's half-moon had details of the moon from the right side, as for his wife's half moon was from the left side.

This was too shocking.

Earlier, when he was near Mi Rong, he had a glimpse of the necklace on her neck. He didn't think much about it at the time, but after giving some thoughts, he had some doubts whether or not he had mistaken the necklace. Thus, he decided to check it out personally.

Looking at the necklace, it made Jun Kai think back to when he asked his wife about her necklace.

"Ling Ling, where did you get this necklace from?" It was Jun Kai who had Fei Ling(his wife) lying in his arms as they were in bed.

Fei Ling, who was about to fall asleep tried to make herself awake to answer to her lover's question, "Ah, this necklace?" She took out her necklace that she had kept with her all the time.

"Hm." Jun Kai answered softly.

"It was my father who gave this to me. This was my present when I was 7. He said to keep it on me at all times, but the next day my parents both past away in that car accident." She paused. "Since then, I've always kept it on me."

Jun Kai was slightly taken aback, "Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean to bring back old memories." He gave his wife a soft peck in the forehead.

"It's fine. It's been years since that accident happened. After that, Grandpa and Grandma have been really good to me. It is not much of a big deal to me anymore."

"Alright then, let's get some sleep."

"Yeah." The couple both dozed off.

Back to the present

A tear dropped from Jun Kai's eyes.

Sigh. He'll need quite some time to get used to being alone from now on. Every time, he thought of his wife, he would somehow always tear up.

Jun Kai's eyes were still fixed on Mi Rong's necklace which was still in his hand. He gave some thought to it and decided to take out his phone from his shirt pocket.

With a slightly shaky voice, Jun Kai said, "Lin Cheng."

Lin Cheng, who was on the other side of the phone didn't notice anything and wanted to make up for his mistake by enthusiastically replied, "Yes, boss?"

"While checking for Mi Rong's background again, also get some men to check on the Shen family(Fei Ling's family) for me. Start by investigating Fei Ling's father and also take a look at the accident of Mr. and Mrs. Shen."

"Uh, yes sir." Although he was puzzled why his boss wanted to check on the madam's background out of the blue, but he still respectively replied.

Jun Kai closed his eyes and said, "That's it for now," and hung up.

He took another glance at Mi Rong's face and the more he looked at her, the more knitted his brows became. Just like her name 'Mi', it seems tons of secrets are held within her whole existence and it was really making him have a headache.

He couldn't help but blurt out, "Mi Rong, whoever you are, I hope you'll not cause any troubles for me and Qing Qing."

After he said all his thoughts and composed himself, he put the necklace back to where it belonged. Silently, Jun Kai left the room.

...

A few hours later

It was dawn and the sun had yet to wake from its slumber. However, Mi Rong was already up. She wasn't so refreshed like she thought she would be and was slightly tired as she didn't have much sleep. However, she was quite excited to leave this place; going out to explore this modern world. She had mixed feelings with all the things that had happened these past few days.

She was now dressed up in proper clothes which were all white, from head to toe; ready to venture out. The clothes were tight and were ready for any physical movements. It was very much different from the hospital's clothes that she had worn. Mi Rong was now like a graceful princess like back in her ancient time.

After dressing up, Mi Rong turned to look at the adorable Qing Qing who was still sleeping. She grew very fond of this little girl. Her most favorite moments would be the leisure time she had with Xiao Qing. She would cherish these moments with Xiao Qing and will await to see if they would ever cross paths again.

Mi Rong had written a card to Qing Qing and left it beside Xiao Qing's bed. Seeing Qing Qing's cute little face, she gave a peck on Qing Qing's forehead and patted her small head. Then, it was finally time to leave. This time not only would she be leaving Qing Qing, but this hospital and Korea.

During her years in modern day, she had been recruiting people and began her own company. Finally, it was time for her to personally go out searching. She would then use this company to rightfully search far and wide for the spell book without causing any suspicious from others. Her next destination to hunt for the book is China.

However, it seemed someone had been trying to stopped her behind the scenes. He or she was in the dark while Mi Rong had been in the light, so she must take precautions and spent time recruiting more people. Recently that person has begun striking more frequently, so it's now her time to go in the dark.

We shall see who's tolerance in hiding is higher than the other.

Once Mi Rong had finished packing up, she looked outside the window to the new arrival. She smiled brilliantly.

"Just in time."

"Hm."

"Well? What are you waiting for?"

"But first things first, Mi Rong, you must cook me food once we arrive at the camp. I'm terribly hungry. I've gotten sick of the convenient stores."

Mi Rong chuckled, "Xiao Bai, the first thing to come out of your mouth is all about food. Does your brain only think about eating? Hm?"

"Whatever, but you must promise me to cook."

"Ke ke, fine." He must have missed her food hehe.

After hearing what he wanted, Xiao Bai started growing twice its size. He was now nearly as big as a full grown horse. However, in fact, this was his actual size. If it weren't for dogs these days were small(In Xiao Bai's own opinion), he wouldn't have to shrink to the regular size. It was all due to his majestic blood.

From growing to his full size, Xiao Bai felt he could breathe much better and he could now feel all of his muscles moving freely. "Well then, Mi Rong hop on."

"My pleasure!" Mi Rong happily got onto Xiao Bai's back and could feel his soft white fur. If she didn't have to travel across the country, she would've chosen to just sleep on it. This time they must be careful of other watchful eyes.

"Xiao Bai, eat this." Mi Rong took out the invisible pill which she on her hands from the other day Xiao Bai gave to her. She hadn't been using it for a long time and almost forgot about. Now, it was time for her to really use it.

In her possession, she had only 50 or something pills as the plant was very rare and Xiao Bai only had one. The pill would stay for as long as you want and if your mind commands it to stop then it would fade away. However, it was good to go and would make things much easier being unnoticed.

When both of them had eaten and was now invisible, "Mi Rong, are ready?"

"Ready like always."

"Then, let's go!" Xiao Bai leapt out of the window, luckily the hospital's window was large enough for both of them.

However, on the rooftop, there was a dark figure standing tall and aloof. His eyes were fixed to something that came out of the window and on their move.

"Tut tut, Mi Rong, you've run away once again!"
