Lady Li heard a voice calling her name, and her curled-up body trembled slightly.
She clamped her small hands tightly over her ears, muttering, "I won't wake up, I won't wake up. Lady Li isn't here... SOB... Please, let me go. Lady Li isn't here..."
The little girl was somewhere between dream and wakefulness, yet in her dazed stupor, her fear was transmitted with stark clarity.
Song Ciwan stood by the rockery, looking at the Heaven and Earth Scale that had appeared beside her: [Human desires: shock, fear, worry. Three jin and five taels. Available for trade.]
'Such a small child, to erupt with such intense emotions even in a stupor. It's clear how lost and frightened she must be right now.'
Song Ciwan sighed softly. It was actually very difficult for her to make direct contact with Lady Li. To call out to her just now using the Dream-Entering Technique, she had to borrow Divine Power.
