The weather was unbearably cold . The children were only wearing thin clothes . Before they could get out of the wind, one of the children fell . Another child tried to pull him up but failed, so they both fell to the ground and could not stand up anymore .

Gu Xijiu was moved . She raised her hand, and two coats could be seen drifting through the air . The coats then wrapped around the children to keep them warm .

The children became warm very quickly as they m.u.f.fled up in the coats . Immediately, they kneeled and bowed towards the sky as a token of grat.i.tude to The Lord .

Gu Xijiu never appeared, nor had the children ever seen her . They only knew they had to bow and offer their hearty thanks to their only guardian, The Lord .

The children then proceeded to grill the rabbit .

The Firmament Stone sighed . "Master, under the miserable circ.u.mstance, out of so many lives, how many people can you possibly help?"

Gu Xijiu did not respond . She seldom talked or even thought about worldly matters, so the Firmament Stone could not understand what she was thinking .

After a long, quiet pause, she finally answered, "What do you want me to do?"

"Cheer up! You have to be happy! You need to feel alive . Master, the land requires a Lord who is lively . You can cry or even be angry; at least some emotions are better than deathly stillness . "

Gu Xijiu hesitated . "I cannot do it . "

She had tried, but she really could not do it .

The Firmament Stone did not know what to do . It was really worried .

She could not go on being so miserable, but it did not know what it could do to cheer her up .

Honestly, it started to reminisce the days when Di Fuyi was still The Lord . The world was blossoming in colors . Although there would be wars now and then, the land was always bustling with life .

Now, the world was merely a land of ice .

…

Gu Xijiu returned to the Crystal Palace in the sea . She saw the poems that were engraved all over the floor .

She sat on the rocking chair and stared blankly at Fuyi's name in the poem . Her heart started to ache .

For the past year, she hardly had any feelings for anything . Everything flowed away in haste like floating clouds . Nothing could really make her feel anything, but the name of 'Fuyi' could easily sweep her away in a wave of emotions .

The name seemed to mean something profound to her .

However, she could not recall the reason .

She fell asleep on the rocking chair, and the Firmament Stone on her wrist started to glimmer with a faint light to cover her body within its halo .

The place was too cold . She would freeze if she fell asleep without any covers . Hence, the Firmament Stone shone with a glimmer of light to keep her warm .

Even in her dreams, Gu Xijiu could not help but frown; it was like she was trapped within the depths of her nightmare .

The Firmament Stone was curious . It would like to find out what had been haunting her in her dreams .

…

It was a hill of ice, followed by a vast sea of ice .

The snowstorm was wild and raging, as though carrying knives that could easily penetrate anything .

There was no one and no sign of life . There was absolutely nothing .

To its surprise, it did not expect to find the vast fields of emptiness even in her dreams .

It finally found its master, sitting alone in the snow . She was dressed entirely in black . Her dark hair and black robes fluttered in the wind, like a lost b.u.t.terfly twisting and twirling as if struggling against the cold breeze .

It made the Firmament Stone's heart ache to see her like that . It flew over and comforted her . "Master, please do not sit here for too long . You will get sick in the cold . "

Gu Xijiu looked up . Her eyes were dark and emotionless . "No matter where I go, it is still cold . "
