When she went back to her room, the little black cat immediately appeared and jumped onto her shoulder and rubbed against her cheek affectionately.
âAre all grandfathers supposed to be like this?â She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the strange yet familiar reflection.
âAccording to normal relations.h.i.+ps, thatâs the way should be.â The black cat was swinging itâs bushy tail. It was the only one who knew what the word âgrandfatherâ meant for her.
âIs that so?â Her eyes lowered as she gently clutched her chest. Within it, she felt a warm feeling radiateâŚsomething sheâs never felt before.
A little sour, a little warm. She loved it.
Jun Wu Yao once asked her whether she was angry when Mo Xuan Fei and  Bai Yun Xian came over to break the marriage arrangement.
The answer in her heart was âwhy should she be?â
For her, the past of this body had nothing to do with her, even the Lin Palace did not have much relations.h.i.+p to her so she did not feel the need to be angry, but now things are different.
Jun Xianâs voice echoed in her head. The constant nagging to eat her medicine, the little attempts at jokes when he was trying to get her to smile, these were all foreign to her.
âHe is my Grandfather.â The reflection in the bronze mirror revealed a small smile, one that was enough to melt snow and ice.
G.o.d had given her compensation for her past experience â giving her a chance to feel what itâs like to have someone to care for her  and to protect her. She will certainly not let anyone destroy this new found happiness.
âI will not let anything happen to Lin Palace,myself or my Grandfather.â she said with conviction as she narrowed her eyes.
In the past, nothing was worthy of her concern but now, things have changed.
Lin palace is now in muddy waters and to protect it, she must take some decisive actions. Things were not so simple.
âMy white lotusâŚin the end.. what are you?â She whispered under her breath as she traced her slender finger over the empty ring spot. Faint light diffused from her fingers and the white lotus appeared once again.
âMeow⌠Do you want to try and see what can it do?â The black cat was swis.h.i.+ng its tail in excitement as it c.o.c.ked its head and stared intently on the white lotus.
She placed the white lotus on her palm and gently brushed its petals. A sweet fragrance permeated the entire room.
âItâs scent is lovely,â as she took in a deep whiff. Somehow she had always felt that whenever she smelled this scent, her blood flow deemed smoother, as though this scent had a relation to this feeling.
This lotus fragrance is very strange, it has a very enticing smell and an even conditions the human blood, perhaps this lotus might have other uses as well.
As she reached out to pull off a petal⌠at that momentâŚbefore the petal was pulled offâŚ
âOuch! PainâŚPainâŚPainâŚâ A gentle child like voice sounded out as her surroundings turned misty.
When the mist gradually dispersed, a small little boy was sitting on the floor tearfully holding his arm, looking dejectedly at Jun Wu Xie.
âMeow!â The sudden appearance of this little kid scared the black cat out of its wits and it almost fell off as it scrambled to sit back on Jun Wu Xieâs shoulders.
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ..â Jun Wu Xie looked on speechlessly at the small milky white doll-like boy seated on the floor. He was wearing a small bib with a vivid white lotus design which looks exactly like her white lotus contractual spirit.
