Zaiken takes Serenya in his lap and, looking towards Xiao Yi, asks,
"So now what should we do, Master?"
Xiao Yi looks at him in a very confused way, unsure of what he means.
Just then, Vexa taps her on the head and says,
"You've made new slaves, haven't you? So you'll be the one to arrange their place to live and everything else, right?"
Xiao Yi replies,
"Yaar... I didn't even think about that."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly goes quiet.
Then Xiao Yi says,
"So now I'll have to do all this too. If you all don't have a problem, I know a place — but it's a little far. So everyone, hold my hand."
All the children step forward and hold Xiao Yi's hands.
Suddenly, a giant black circle appears all around them.
From that circle, many hands emerge, grabbing Xiao Yi and the children.
In the next moment, a flash of black light surrounds them — and Xiao Yi along with the five children begin traveling rapidly.
Xiao Yi's eyes widen and she says,
"The dawn is about to break."
Zaiken steps closer to her and asks,
"Does this technique only work at night?"
Xiao Yi replies,
"No... it doesn't matter. But now we have to move quickly."
They rush ahead, swiftly crossing mountains and rivers, and finally reach the edge of a cliff.
Xiao Yi turns and tells them to follow her.
She walks directly under that cliff, and seeing her, Zaiken and all the children follow.
Then Xiao Yi moves behind a stone hidden underwater and enters a tunnel beneath it.
Crossing through, they emerge into a hidden place surrounded by darkness on all sides.
Inside, Xiao Yi raises her hand and summons a white flame.
She brings it near the lamps and begins lighting them, spreading light across the space.
Soon, the rest of the children arrive and, seeing the flame in Xiao Yi's hand, look on in confusion.
Breaking the silence, Azenor asks,
"What kind of spell is this?"
Xiao Yi smiles softly and replies,
"It's not a spell."
Azenor asks again,
"Then how did you do it?"
Xiao Yi gives a faint, mysterious smile and says,
"If I told you something exists after life — would you believe me?"
Tharion answers bluntly,
"What are you saying? There's no such thing."
Xiao Yi responds only with a silent smile.
Seeing her, Serenya softly asks,
"Wait... could something like that really be true?"
A heavy silence fills the entire space.
One unspoken question lingers in the air:
Is reincarnation really possible?
And if it is...
Is Xiao Yi a reincarnated legend — or someone even more mysterious?
