"And you are...?"

The question ranged out through the deafening silence of the area as both the groups completed assessing each other.

Li Ming gave a last assessing look to the Prince before along with the other two girls she clasped her hands in front as the three of them slightly bowed to greet the Crown Prince.

It was not a greeting from a citizen to their Crown Prince, but a normal greeting from one person to another.

"We are here in search of a kid who stole our Master's money back in the market street." Zi Yan answered the Prince's question.

"Oh! May I know the identity of this lady?" The Crown Prince asked as he looked at Li Ming with curious eyes.

A slight twitch appeared on her lips which was covered with the veil.

"I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not a big fan of talking with strangers. Just let us talk with that kid. We need to be somewhere within the next half an hour."

Her tone was completely straightforward. Not only the guards were shocked by her reply but so was the Crown Prince.

It took them a few minutes to realize that the three girls were probably not aware of the identity of the crown prince.

The air turned awkward as the guards contemplated whether to confront the three girls for being rude with their Crown Prince or whether they should stay silent and let their Prince handle the situation on his own.

When she didñt get any answer for a few silent moments, Li Ming passed the group of guards and their Prince a questioning look with her perfectly shaped eyebrows.

The Crown Prince coughed lightly to disperse the awkward situation.

"Looks like both of us have become the target of the same thief. Here is that boy." He said while signaling towards two of his guards who were standing behind him holding the little boy.

The boy was unexpectedly silent rather than squirming or trying to run away. He was just silently kneeling there with his head lowered down as he stared at the ground.

Li Ming walked closer to the boy and crouched down in front of him.

"Hey! Lookup. I'm not going to hurt you."

Her tone was low and carried softness in it as she let out soothing energy. Trying to make the kid lower his guard so that he could be comfortable in opening-up with her.

The kid stayed unmoved for the next few minutes. The silence in the air was thick enough to suffocate someone.

Li Ming slowly raised her right hand towards the little kid. After she was sure that he was not going to flinch away from her touch, she finally rested her hand on his shoulder, giving his shoulder a little massage in the process.

Everyone was staring at the bizarre scene in front of them as the Young Miss crouched down in front of the kid and was giving him a shoulder massage, the same kid who had stolen her money.

Even the Crown Prince wasn't sure what the girl was planning to do with the little kid, but he stayed silent along with everyone else as they waited for the scene to unfold.

It took a few more minutes before Li Ming finally felt the stiffness disappearing from the shoulders of the little kid and the next moment he was slowly raising his head to look at her.

Li Ming wasn't sure how to react after seeing the most beautiful pair of eyes that ever existed.

She didn't have proper words to describe those eyes which held all the colors of the universe inside them.

Before she could divulge deeper into the shock of seeing such kind of eyes in her real life, everything changed.

She realized that they were no longer in the real world, the world of Immortals, or to be precise, the Capital City of the Wang Empire.

She was now crouching on a glass-like surface. What she saw beneath that surface was an endless sea of a sky filled with stars and around a dozen moons.

Her eyes directly looked around her and found that she was currently in such a place where she was completely surrounded by the sea of stars.

It was like she was standing in the very middle of a universe, surrounded by millions of stars, moons, milky ways, and cosmos.

She was abruptly pulled out of her shock when the little kid who was still kneeling in front of her, suddenly fell on the glass-like floor.

She and the little kid were the only two-person present in this weird but beautiful place.

Li Ming had no idea what she was supposed to do or what she was going to do. This situation was so similar to how she ended up in that dark world just a night ago, but at the same time, it was far too different.

Rather than the dark black world, this one was filled with color and brightness. Unlike the ire silence of that dark world which could give anyone goosebumps, this one was not nerve-shattering with its silence.

In short, where the previous dark world gave her bad and negative vibes, this new one was filled with comfortable and positive vibes.

Li Ming was crouching down beside the unconscious kid, whose beautiful and breathtaking eyes were currently hidden behind his closed eyelids.

As she was checking his pulse, the most irritating voice disturbed her making her cringe inwardly at the timing of that person and her bad luck for coming across that person so many times within less than a month.

"You can't help that kid, Win."

The sweet honeyed voice came out of the dark red painted lips of that person.

Rather than her usual cloak and dark color dress theme, that person was unexpectedly wearing a pretty yellow colored summer dress which ended just an inch above her knee.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail and her eyes were decorated with a light touch of makeup.

Li Ming raised her eyebrows after looking at the attire of the half seer, half-ghost, and half banshee, that had been stuck with her for the past ten years.

Yep, that person was a huge package that got delivered to her address by fault but Li Ming didn't find any way to deliver her back and ended up sticking with her, probably for the rest of her life.

"What are you trying to say?" Li Ming asked as she continued to check the pulse of the kid. Her healing powers coming forward to find if the little kid was suffering through any injury.

The mysterious...!

[A/N: She can't be considered mysterious since you all now know about her identity, right??]

The woman didn't reply as she watched Li Ming with a little smirk playing on her red painted lips.

Li Ming suddenly let out a sharp gasp as her healing powers registered the differences in the body of the little kid.

Her eyes which had closed on their own at some point suddenly opened and landed on the Banshee.

"What...?"

She was so shocked that her mind was unable to form words and she just stayed crouching on the floor, staring at the woman who looked too calm for the situation.

"Just like I told you, Win, you can not help this kid because you are not meant to. This kid will come out of his pain but not now, not today. The person who is destined to heal him still has to make their appearance in the world of this little kid."

The woman told Li Ming, her eyes roaming over the unconscious boy with no pity in her eyes.

"But..."

"Don't get too deep into his matter, Win. It won't be a good thing for this kid if anything went against his destiny. He doesn't belong to this world, nor he will find his happiness here."

The woman cut off Li Ming's protest as she tried to explain the situation.

"He's not from this world?" Li Ming repeated the words of the woman but they came out as a question due to the surprise in her tone.

"No. He is not. He belongs to a different world but that also is similar to this one. You have an important part to play in this kid's life but he doesn't belong to this world." The woman replied to Li Ming's question.

"What kind of role will I have to play? And how is he going to return to his world?" Li Ming asked hurriedly.

She didn't like it a single bit whenever that woman came in front of her eyes to remind her that their lives were preplanned by the so-called destiny.

Though it could be true to some point but that didn't mean she loved to hear it again and again.

Her eyes landed on the unconscious kid and her dislike for the word destiny increased a few points.

The woman smiled warmly at Li Ming, which was anything but warm, as she said, "Remember that special egg with the purple light from the Enchanted Magik Forest, which is currently under your guardianship...?"
