Scattered on the bed were the girl's clothes: a white shirt, black stockings, and black stiletto heels.

A slip dress hung on the bedpost, along with lacy black underwear.

There were even various necklaces and rings, lying quietly in open boxes, flashing with silver light.

On her phone, an old series played, where the male and female leads kissed under a cherry blossom tree.

Initially, when Xia Yu was chosen to serve this young lady, she was not convinced.

Because she was born into the Xia Family, and part of the direct line at that, growing up in London, attending only elite schools, receiving the best education, and in the world of Ascenders within the Dark World, she was outstanding, always surrounded by elite bodyguards and personal servants, it could truly be said she was born to be cherished.

But then one day, the family told her she would become the servant of a great person.

She originally thought she would become a family marriage pawn and intended to fight no matter the cost.

But her parents told her the person she was to serve was a woman.

Curious, Xia Yu inquired around, only to hear that the woman's status was unimaginably exalted.

Moreover, she was a peerless beauty.

This made her even more unsatisfied, as she herself was a top beauty, having seen countless beauties growing up.

No one in this world could move her.

Yet, her parents mysteriously told her that she'd understand once she met the young lady.

When Xia Yu actually met the young lady, she fell for her at first sight.

Her sexual orientation was forcibly bent, wishing only to kneel and kiss her skirt hem.

Miss Skylark was such an extraordinary person, her power godlike in its unfathomability, possessing rare beauty unseen in the world, whether it was the fleeting aurora over Iceland, the howling snow on Mount Everest, or the cherry breeze over Mount Fuji, none compared to her fleeting charm.

This was beauty not meant for the mortal world.

Yet when she stepped into the mortal world, she was touched by a breath of vivid vitality.

She became one with this world, naturally seamless.

"It seems this trip entailed no small crisis for you."

The girl in the bathtub murmured softly.

Even through the red veil, her enchanting silhouette as she stretched, that blood-provoking tempting curve, no artist, no matter how skilled, could capture such a captivating outline.

The floor-to-ceiling window was open, and with low-altitude, slow flight, cold wind poured in.

Her ink-dyed long hair rose and fell in the wind, majestic and complete.

Xia Yu couldn't help but think of the first time she saw her, back when she was bathing at a hot spring inn in Ying Province's Hokkaido, where the snow fell like cherry petals on her delicate skin, a sight mesmerizing to behold.

She hurriedly gathered her thoughts, softly saying, "On Penglai Fairy Island, there's an unexpected person, whose power to me seems extraordinarily strong, especially his Destiny's Reflection, astonishingly powerful."

"Gu Jianlin?"

Miss Skylark chuckled softly, her laughter like a strummed harp string, carrying a hint of ridicule.

"Yes."

Xia Yu explained, "This is the third student of the King of Qing, also..."

"Stop, I know all about it."

Miss Skylark said casually, "An interesting little fellow, did he stab you?"

Xia Yu recalled the young man's unrivaled Sword Force, her pretty face pale, and said, "Yes."

"If someone else had stabbed you, I'd probably have had him killed. But if it's him, you're lucky to be alive; he doesn't see you as worthy of being his enemy."

Miss Skylark leaned against the bathtub, lazily playing with the rose petal-covered water, "Next time you see him, just run. You serve me, I would hate to see you die for nothing."

Xia Yu bowed her head and said, "Understood, Miss."

Miss Skylark no longer stirred the pool water, yet the rose petal-covered surface rippled chaotically, the snow reflection shattered, and even occasionally bright firelight emerged, the open window trembling violently in the wind.

Water splashed in the bathtub, hailstones fell one by one.

In the distance, a huge volcano erupted with a roar, thick smoke veiling the Sky Dome, countless ashes falling like a gray tsunami, interspersed with the fiery blaze of Molten Lava.

A magnificent golden beam pierced the volcano like a sword.

A dragon roar resounded through the Ice Sea.

"Now you know pain."

Miss Skylark laughed softly, "Kui, you did this to yourself."

Xia Yu pondered her mood, vaguely understanding something, turned to take a freshly squeezed orange juice from the fridge, added two ice cubes, inserted a plastic straw, then handed it to her.

Miss Skylark took the orange juice-filled cup, biting the straw, gazing towards the distant volcano.

She was watching the show.

Yet just then, a huge rumbling sounded, golden light rushing forth.

Xia Yu felt the power from the Heavenly Person, her pretty face pale as paper, soul trembling.

"Rhein."

She muttered in terror, her lips trembling.

Within the red veil, Miss Skylark seemed to snort unhappily, the brilliant golden light pierced the snowstorm, reflecting on the bathtub water, shimmering in waves, rose petals seeming to burn.

The blizzard was blown apart, like dandelion fluff, scattered everywhere.

"Is this the Order World's successor?"

Miss Skylark said softly, "Not bad, but lacking something, why did it scare you so?"
