Waking from a Dream

This dream was going on for far too long. When she was half-awake, reality and illusion were perfectly combined. The dividing line between them was completely blurred. Shangguan Ru gradually lost her ability to distinguish them. Everything in her mind seemed to be real and credible.

Even when the sense of heaviness subsided and the light became glaring, she did not regain consciousness immediately. She looked at the unfamiliar maid, "Go on then."

"Yes, master..." The maid was a slave of the Land of Fragrance. She had never dared to say "no" to her master, but she was frightened by the expression of her new master and rushed out for help.

Maid Lotus' reaction was better. She had remained silent in her semi-comatose state. After she regaining consciousness, she still did not speak. For a long time, the maid beside her was not aware that her master was gathering herself. She also never realized that she was in danger.
