Saving Her Again

Inside the prison was a little girl no older than five or six. 

She was dressed in a set of elegant robes that were pure white with golden embroidery that created images of little sparrows flying across her skirt. But her feet were bare, and covered in dirt.

Her skin was clear and without blemishes, soft and smooth. Her childish face was composed of large eyes and a button nose. 

And her hair, something Ming Yue could not mistake. 

It was long, reaching down to her ankles and they were of a shade of black. Unlike ordinary black hair, the girl's hair was darker than the night and even sparkled as if there were stars in her hair. 

It was Hongyu as she was found back in the Beast Continent. 

She was sure of it and yet, Ming Yue didn't understand it. Just seeing her there was enough to fill Ming Yue's mind with all sorts of questions.
