Wang Yin was confident that the Red room was the only solution to keep Gao Lan i alive. Especially if she has the protection of the Prince of the Underworld, so they just all patiently waited.
While they were all waiting, Gao Lan i was just there, inside the room, without showing any signs of movent.
Hours turn to days, then weeks, before months went by without her not showing any signs of waking up.
After months of silence inside the Red Room, Wang Yin and rest were all expecting that Gao Lan i would be coming out soon.
However, no one would expect that after the black smoke was removed entirely from her body, Gao Lan i's flesh slowly started to breakdown.
Her flesh slowly dissolved before evaporating in the air. Gao Lan i's body looks like it was deteriorating, before turning into dust.
While this was happening, Gao Lan i also had her own internal struggle
***
'Do you really want to live and be free? A female voice asked softly.
Gao Lan i was startled after hearing that voice. 'That sounds so familiar' She thought to herself. Who was it?
The voice was speaking through her consciousness, so Gao Lan i tried to open her mouth to respond but unable to.
She then tried to open her eyes next to see who was the one talking but could not. It was painful to do so. Gao Lan i had thought that she was already used to any severe pain. It was botherso and annoying to feel the pain, but it still proves that one was alive.
Aside from the pain, Gao Lan i felt like she was not lying on any surface as if she was floating. Because of this, she beca worried.
'Are you afraid? Why? Pain is necessary. Everyone wants to live and be free even if they only exist for a short ti. So short, it just looks like a dot compared to the thread of ti for eternity.' The female voice continued, asking curiously.
Gao Lan i wanted to frown, but still unable to do so. 'I am not afraid, but you are noisy.' For her, if the woman was not willing to help, the busybody might as well go away.
After chuckling, 'It was the first ti I was called busybody.' The woman noted amusedly. This also confird that the woman could hear Gao Lan i's thoughts.
'Go away! If you don't have anything better to do, just leave alone!' Gao Lan i scread inside her head. She was busy trying to figure out how to survive, and soone was using her as entertainnt. Unacceptable!
The woman humd, 'I do have better things to do. For example, I must help you. But'
'You can help ?' Gao Lan i asked suspiciously.
'Yes, I can. The problem is, I am not sure if it is a good idea. What do you think? Is it a good idea?'
'Of course!' Gao Lan i still felt skeptical talking to the woman. However, she did not ignore the part where she felt like that woman was soone very familiar. It was never a good idea to trust strangers with your life, but she does not have a choice.
The woman humd, before speaking slowly, 'But first, you have to promise one thing'
'What is it?'
'I will tell you once you recovered completely'
Gao Lan i felt like she was entering a trap. 'If you want to be your slave, then forget it.'
'No! No! I am not that type who likes won for slaves. I like handso, tall, and obedient guys!' The woman indignantly replied as if offended.
'Then what is it?' Gao Lan i demanded.
'I promise it is not sothing you cannot do! If it is against your principles, then you can refuse! I swear this in the Chaos Lake!' The woman declared.
Chaos Lake was located in the Underworld and was often used by spirits or ghosts for oaths since they do not have mortal life in the first place. Many states that at the bottom of the lake, a prison could be found for banished gods.
The surface of the lake looked ethereal, however, if any spirit stepped on the lake, one would relieve his or her worst nightmare. It was also almost impossible for anyone to survive it. Aside from that, the curse of the lake when oaths were broken would have the sa effect.
Knowing this, Gao Lan i was surprised to hear it from the woman. It was also able to confirm that the woman who was offering to help her was a spirit.
Nevertheless, with the oath uttered, there was no reason for Gao Lan i to refuse further. 'Very well. I will trust you. As long as you can help and the promise that you want is doable, then I will cooperate.'
'You will never regret it! The things that you have doing so far were mostly incorrect. We can't have you receive Heavenly punishnt. It is a good thing that those old gods can't step into any Domain personally. What if they can? What will you do with your unbalanced self?' As soon as Gao Lan i agreed, the female voice started ranting.
With disbelief, Gao Lan i could not help but exclaim, 'What I have been doing so far? You are watching all along?! Who are you?'
The woman snorted, 'Hmph! You will know soon! You said you would cooperate, right? If you can rember everything, you won't be like this in the first place! So you must rember!'
Bam!
As soon as the woman demanded Gao Lan i to rember, she felt like sothing hit the innermost part of her being. Suddenly, Gao Lan i felt her body, falling fast.
She could not use her hands to grab on anything. The fall eventually stopped, and the sa goes with all the pain as well.
Gao Lan i was delighted, so she tried to open her eyes. She initially wanted to celebrate when she was successful in doing so. However, Gao Lan i also realized that she was inside a cage
