4 I will Lie For Your Life

In the heart of the structure lies a waterfall, where flowers glitter like stars grow. A group of five suddenly comes out of the water. "Xia Ni! Ah He!". Zhen Mei runs and hugs her friends.

"We have heard of the situation Mei! Did you wait long? Tell us what to do", said by a girl with blonde hair. "A two-way ticket teleportation", Zhen Mei answered.

"You're not planning to teleport the whole area, right?"Xia Ni questioned her friend's plan. " If I was trying to do that then your hair would be brighter than my plan. It's an on-point teleportation. We will just be teleporting specified targets and not the whole area. To be able to achieve that we will be using summoned wisps". " Wisps? They will only last for an hour. From here, they will disappear before they reach their targets", Ah He questioned. "That is true, Ah He, which is why I said two-way ticket". Zhen Mei said with a bittersweet smile. "To send them back, I need you to help me compress the wisps into my body and after teleporting myself to their area, I will release it".

A dark expression suddenly emerged from the faces of her friends and suddenly the three of them were surrounded by pitch-black walls. "Don't tell me! As your friends, do you think we want to send you to your possible doom?". Xia Ni angrily asked. "I know you don't! but as my friend I hope you'll hear out my earnest request", Zhen Mei said as she softly smiles.

"We won't pray for your soul if you turn us into murderers. Worst! we are going to curse you so you won't be able to go to heaven", Ah He sarcastically said. "We are coming with you!". Xia Ni bit her lip in anger and releases the illusion. "Ah He, you are a royal from the country of Lan and you Xia Ni are the crown princess of the Underwater Kingdom. Helping me would jeopardize your relationship with Shi Country or it could kill you". "I don't care! Not a lot of people know my real face anyway, Xia Ni breezily replied. "and I am just one of those royals who will be used for political reasons, hell can get loose", Ah He carelessly said.

Tears suddenly dripped from Zhen Mei's eyes and she began to cry loudly. "I do not deserve you guys! I'm so scared to go alone! I'd like to have you guys go with me", she lauded. "Awwe you're such a cutie. If I was a man I would really marry you", Xia Ni said while hugging her friend tightly. "Eww, quit it out lesbos!". Ah He cringed at her friends' display of affection. "Ahh.. don't be so jealous Ah He. Come and join us!". Xia Ni extends her arms to Ah He and the three girls hugged each other tightly while Ai Bao softly smiled and relieved seeing her little sister in law is surrounded by good friends.

"Owkie dokie! All set!", Xia Ni said happily. Xia Ni, Ah He and the three mages stood at each point of the pentagram while Zhen Mei stood at the center. A mysterious blue light started to emanate from the seal. "Feed the scroll of names to the pentagram!", Zhen Mei instructed. One of the mages threw the scroll into the air and the blue light emanating from the seal turned into wisps and started to encircle the scroll. One by one, the names written on the scroll started to vanish. "Bind". Zhen Mei invoked and the wisps flew directly into her body causing some seal marks to appear on her skin.

Suddenly, bright powdery light appeared inside the room. "What the.. are we under attack!?", Ah He panicky said. Xia Ni looked at Zhen Mei who smiles softly and screamed "Zhen Mei! You!... are you searching for death?! Stop this you crazy ..". Before she could finish her sentence, her vision started to fade and saw her friend crying and saying "I'm sorry and thank you".

Zhen Mei couldn't let her friends get involved with the dispute so beforehand she readied an activated spell that will make all the people in the room lose their consciousness for a day. Zhen Mei who already felt truly loved chose to lie than bringing her friends with her to die.
