Inside her room, Xing'er continued to ponder incoherently. He continued to curse and cursed Han Zhaoyang who told him to rain.
Sillier.
How could Xing'er rain down, her profession was just an ordinary office employee and not a rain handler then how could she let down the rain?.
"Han fucking Zhaoyang .. arggh!"
Xing'er shouted as she saw the white-haired man she had met the other day in the middle of the forest appear suddenly inside her room.
"W-you, why are you here?" Xing'er took a few steps back in fear.
The white-haired man approached Xing'er who continued to retreat with the look of his ice-cold face.
"B-stop if not I'll yell," threatened Xing'er who was now unable to move due to being restrained by the wall.
"Shout and I'll kill everyone" he whispered as he looked at Xing'er sharply at such a close distance.
"You—." Xing'er paused her sentence and bowed her head as she looked at the man's sharp razor-like eyes.
The man tilted his smile and moved away from Xing'er. "Pour tea for me."
"No way!" reject Xing'er who in the blink of an eye she was already in the grip of the man with her neck choked and her body raised upwards.
The girl's legs drifted upwards while struggling, while both her hands attempted to untie her neck from the white-haired man's magic noose.
"L-let go .. a-I, t-can't breathe" Xing'er said as her neck choked.
However, instead of letting go he gripped Xing'er even more strongly to the point of making her almost lose her breath.
"A-I beg you, let me go .. j-if I die how can you get that crystal ball."
Hearing about the crystal ball, the man instantly let Xing'er go and let her fall just like that.
Bugh.
Uhuck-uhuk.
The girl touched her neck which hurt.
The white-haired man crouched down and pulled Xing'er's chin while looking at her deeply. "Listen I can release you today, but if you dare to refuse my orders again I will exterminate your soul." The man let go of Xing'er's chin as he saw the girl nod her head quickly.
"God what kind of man he is, just reaching out until it makes me almost die," Xing'er's monologue inwardly.
"Pour me some tea" he ordered again, now sitting at the table.
Xing'er's head nodded quickly and trembled, she immediately poured a cup of tea and served it to the man.
"It's been weeks, but you haven't been able to find a single crystal ball yet" he said in a flat tone.
"I-it—,"
Brakes…
Xing'er was aghast as the man kicked down the table and looked at her with an oppressive look.
"Master, you know by yourself if the ball is spread across multiple kingdoms and to enter the palace is not easy," Xing'er's cerocos instantly clenched her lips as the man again stared at her intently.
"I heard you're the future wife of a crown prince, isn't it with that status that you can enter the palace easily."
"It should be so, but Wang Yue told me not to get close to the palace .. but you don't have to worry I already have a plan but—."
"Say."
"What do you need?"
The girl looked at the man and told him about her being considered a goddess capable of bringing down rain, he who was born as an ordinary man certainly does not have this ability until he does not know what he must do to make it rain.
"I'll help you."
"really?" Xing'er reflexively touched her hand and she instantly released it back as the man looked at her.
"Oh, by the way, what are you looking for that ball for? It's impossible if it's just to help me find a mate and why don't you take it for yourself" Xing'er asked curiously.
Xing'er's neck was pulled by the man right in front of her face. " Your job is just to find the ball and I've given you what you want, so don't ask too many questions you don't need to know."
He pushed back Xing'er then disappeared like dust blowing in the wind.
Xing'er's eyelids winked in disbelief at what she had just seen, the man appearing all of a sudden and disappearing all of a sudden making Xing'er a little dazed.
"Huh I must be dreaming," muttered Xing'er shaking her head and patting both of her cheeks.
All night he kept thinking what he should do, he played his phone and who would have thought for weeks lost the signal finally he could see the signal coming into his phone.
A series of messages from the people closest to her flocked into the chat room, they asked for her whereabouts and some poured their longing on Xing'er. They hoped that he would be able to go home soon in good condition.
While reading one by one the messages conveyed by her parents and close friends, without feeling any tears Xing'er dripped down feeling the same longing towards those in a different dimension with her.
He wanted to reply to those messages and tell her he was fine, but unfortunately the signal that was caught a while ago now disappeared again so Xing'er could not reply to their messages that worried him.

***
The world in 2022.
The Jade bamboo forest. Yan Xun was still faithfully searching for Xing'er's whereabouts, as if he was tirelessly and tired he kept searching and wished for Xing'er to be found.
It has been a month and the SAR team conducted a search, but the results still remain the same as those days ago. The head of the SAR team who had raised his hand also proposed to Yan Xun to end the search that never brought results, but Yan Xun insisted on continuing any way they should be able to find Xing'er.
"Sir, it's been a month we've been searching but we never found Xing'er .. Sir, we should just let her go" Ti Jun said, staring at her boss's pity.
"Uchlastic? You said I had to fling Xing'er." Yan Xun pulled Ti Jun's collar and looked at him full of anger.
How could he possibly let go of a woman who meant so much to him, Xing'er's departure was still full of question marks. She didn't know if Xing'er was alive or dead and whatever the circumstances Yan Xun had to find her and would never let Xing'er go before she saw Xing'er's body with her own eyes.
Seeing that his superior was furious, Ti Jun was stunned as well. He tidied up his clothes and looked back at Yan Xun who was now like a madman, every day continued to be in the forest while shouting until his voice ran out for calling Xing'er's name regardless of her declining health.
"I have to find a way to stop it," Ti Jun murmured inwardly.
