Chapter 458: A Dream

Five minutes later, Yagon and Phoe opened their eyes.
“Mr. Soan, what happened?” Phoe was alarmed. She let down her guard when she recognized Himmel Soan.
“Mr. Soan, where’s Ciger?” Yagon remembered what had happened before he passed out.
Since Mr. Soan was treating them now, it probably meant Ciger was dead. They didn’t need his reply because they both saw Ciger’s glassy eyes.
“He’s useless now. I’ll leave him to you. I need to take some rest. Don’t disturb me if I don’t ask for you,” Himmel Soan said in a weak voice before returning to his room.
When he got back, the battle between Firey and the cat had ended.
“Did you win?”
“Yes. I was curious because the cat suddenly stopped moving. She’s already in my stomach. Aren’t I amazing?” Firey was excited.
Usually, it would be very difficult for Firey to defeat the cat.
However, when Himmel Soan froze the time, he did it in the entire house. Firey should also have stopped moving, but she wasn’t affected.
He didn’t understand why, but there was no time to figure that out.
“Let me take a break…” He then fell onto the bed nearby while Firey was still talking about her battle with the cat.
“Master?
“Master, what’s wrong with you?” Firey rushed over to his side.
She was relieved when she saw he was just resting. Her master was weakened, but there was nothing seriously wrong.
After Himmel Soan fell asleep, Firey set up a barrier around the room.
Although she liked solving problems with her fists, she was very talented in other things, too, such as refinement and setting up barriers.
This task was nothing.
After setting up the barrier, she stayed by Himmel Soan’s side. She didn’t even try to digest the cat’s energy.
Three months passed.
Himmel Soan had a dream.
He dreamed about long ago, when it was the Song Dynasty.
Himmel Soan and Gina were putting lantern boats into a river.
“What will you do if I suddenly disappear?” Gina asked.
“Why would you disappear?” Himmel Soan only thought she was joking.
Did she mean she would somehow leave Earth? How was that possible?
“I said ‘if.’ Tell me what you’ll do if I disappear one day?” Gina asked mischievously.
Himmel Soan didn’t think much of it back then. He only said that if she disappeared, she must be playing hide-and-seek with him.
“I’ll look for you. No matter where you’re hiding, I’ll find you!”
Gina nodded in satisfaction and threw herself into his arms.
Only now did Himmel Soan understand what Gina meant. He finally knew why she was crying back then. As early as hundreds of years ago, she already knew she would be gone one day.
“Why wouldn’t she tell me? She could have discussed it with me. Why did she have to leave?”
Himmel Soan’s breath quickened as he recalled the years when Gina was still around. The memories rushed back to him.
“I’m leaving. Please come to find me.”
The last thing he remembered was when Gina said those words by his bed before she disappeared.
“Gina, I’m here for you!” Himmel Soan slowly opened his eyes.
“Master, you’re finally awake!” Firey had waited for three months.
“How long did I sleep for?”
“Three months!”
“That long?” Himmel Soan was surprised. He thought he was only unconscious for a week. He never thought he could sleep for three months in a row.
It wasn’t a waste of time though. At least he remembered some things from before.
Gina’s disappearance wasn’t out of the blue. She had anticipated it a long time ago. Therefore, Himmel Soan had to fulfill his promise and find her.
“Did anything happen in these three months?” Himmel Soan asked.
“I don’t know. I was here the whole time.
“Yagon came here, saying he and Phoe have recovered and wanted to see you. They didn’t come in when I told them you were resting.
“There’s nothing else.
“Also, you were crying in your sleep,” said Firey.
The next second, she was clunked on the forehead.
“You can forget about the last part,” said Himmel Soan.
“The last part? Do you mean where you were crying?
“Ouch!” Firey covered her head in pain.
Seeing Himmel Soan raise his hand again, she said, “I’ve already forgotten about it!
“I didn’t see anything!”
Himmel Soan chuckled. He knew it didn’t hurt. Firey only reacted in that way because she wanted to cheer him up.
He indeed felt much happier. However, he needed to take care of something else.
His strength.
He didn’t know too much about the power of time.
He had pushed his limits when fighting Ciger three months ago, which was why he was in a coma.
He hardly had any energy left and was almost as weak as an ordinary man. To go to other continents, he needed to become stronger first.
