MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 19: Tian Liam and Tian Liang

PART 140 – THE DREAM VISION

The flowers were cut into thousands of pieces. A dark cloud of smoke came out from the bund and spread across the palace very fast.

-Be careful! – Miang Xiang yelled to others.

However, it was too late, the smoke was too fast, it covered all the sky of the palace. Everyone fell down on the ground and slept deeply. The next morning, Hou Lei got up and she saw no one beside her, including Tian Liam, Tian Liang, and Miang Xiang. She stood up and felt weak, like she used too much magic last night.

-Tian Liam, Miss Miang Xiang, Tian Liang??? – She called them, no answerback.

There was a strange sensation surrounding her. Hou Lei looked at the bund destroyed last night and saw a thing like a gem. It was shining with a purple light and flying above the flowers. She walked close to it and wonder, “Is it the Hou Ma gem?”. She had not seen the Hou Ma gem before, so she could not tell if this was the gem or not. She touched it and it stopped shining in her hands.

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, a similar voice came from nowhere talking to her, it seemed like her father’s voice.

-Father, where are you? How can you reach here? – She asked with the hope of getting a reply.

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, the voice came again, but not answering her question. She thought that the gem in her hand was really the Hou Ma gem, and her father knew that she had finished her mission and wanted her to come back and rescue the Hou Ma tribe. But, how about Tian Liam? Would he be okay without her?

“Hurry up, my daughter, we cannot wait for you more!”, the voice came once again and it led Hou Lei to her decision. She needed to revive her tribe first of all, after that, she would find Tian Liam and he would understand her choice.

On another place, through the night, Lei Hwa was trying to connect with Hou Lei and Miang Xiang but she could not. There was energy stopping her from doing that. She knew that magic was very strong and she needed to act before it did something harmful to her daughter and her friends. Lei Hwa went to the entrance of the palace and saw something like a shield covering the whole palace. She chanted a spell and scissors appeared above her head. She moved her hands to control the scissors to fly near the shield, she used magic to put into it and tried to cut the shield, but it was no use. The shield even fought back and pushed her to fall down on the ground. Suddenly, she saw Hou Lei flew out of the high wall of the palace.

-Hou Lei! Hou Lei! – She tried to call her daughter.

However, it seemed that Hou Lei did not hear her voice. She realized that there was dark magic surrounding her daughter’s body. Lei Hwa got a horse near there and followed Hou Lei, she did not think her daughter having this kind of flying magic, and she was so fast. Lei Hwa thought that Hou Lei was controlled by the dark magic of the shield, she used a spell to look clearer into Hou Lei and saw a thing like a drop connecting her and the palace.

She followed Hou Lei some more miles and realized she was on the way back to the Hou Ma tribe. “It was a dangerous thing to come back there without the Hou Ma gem, with this distance, I think the connection between her and the source of dark magic in the palace is weak. So now or never!”

Lei Hwa made her scissors appeared again and moved it slowly closer to Hou Lei. She clapped her hands and the scissors cut the rope connecting to Hou Lei. The rope was cut and Hou Lei fell down from the high level she was flying. Lei Hwa chanted a spell and a white cloud appeared below her daughter to catch her and slowly moved down to the ground.

-Hou Lei, are you okay? Hou Lei…

Lei Hwa ran to her daughter’s place, Hou Lei was still keeping tightly the gem in her hands.

Lei Hwa brought her daughter to a small motel near the place. She rented a room and asked the waiter to help her bring Hou Lei to the room and put her on the bed. She used some herbs and salt to spread around the bed and chanted a spell to protect Hou Lei from harmful things. She then walked out to find a medicine store to find some herbs to treat for Hou Lei.

After coming back, she asked the owner of the motel to borrow a pot and extracted the medicine for Hou Lei. She brought the bowl of medicine to the room. Hou Lei was saying something, she put the bowl on the table and walked close to the bed.

“No, I must bright the gem back to revive my tribe, you cannot stop me!”, she talked in the dream.

“This must be a dream vision, I cannot touch her now, it might lead her to danger.”, Lei Hwa talked to herself. She thought for a while and raised her hands up to chant a spell, the liquid in the bowl flew out in a flow and she used her finger to lead it to Hou Lei’s mouth. After the flow of medicine getting into Hou Lei’s body, her body shined brightly and the dark smoke around her body disappeared. Hou Lei opened her eyes and saw Lei Hwa.

-Mother, how can you get into the palace? – Hou Lei surprised.

-Look clearly, my sweet! We are not in the palace! – Lei Hwa answered.

-But how? Last night, I and Tian Liam still fought with Tian Liang and some kinds of dark magic.

-You do not remember what happened this morning?

-I… I… oh, I found the Hou Ma gem.

Hou Lei opened her hand to show Lei Hwa the gem, however, it was just a normal stone.

-This is not the Hou Ma gem, my sweet!

-But it shined a purple light this morning… so I think…

-You were in the dream vision and it let you think this stone was the gem, leading you to come back to the Hou Ma tribe to revive them.

-The dream vision?

-Yup, it made people think that they had reached their dreams, their purposes, or their deepest desires, and made them want to live in the dream forever. In that way, it would take the power and life from them for its master.

-Its master? Can he be the black assassin?

-I have no idea, however, that guy must have much magic to cover the dream for all people in the palace. I do not know anyone can do that, it is such a very strong source of magic.

-All people in the palace? Including Tian Liam, Miang Xiang, and Tian Liang?

-Maybe, or maybe not. With the one who has a strong mental ability, they can fight with the dream and come back to reality. Of those three persons, I think only Miang Xiang can.

-But Tian Liam and Tian Liang also have strong minds.

-On another hand, they have strong desires and ambitions of possession, too.

-Ambition of possession?

-You, both guys want to have you for their own, so this is an easy point that the dream vision can lead them to connect with it, like you have the desire to revive our tribe. When the desire is big enough, there is no way you can fight with the dream vision.

-How can we help them now? They are in danger!

-You should get back your magic first, the shield around the palace is very strong, it is not easy for us to get into the palace and help them.

In the meantime, Tian Liam and Tian Liang walked up and saw Hou Lei beside them.
