Heavenly Venerable of the Imperial Rank

On a street lashed by torrential rain, an oil-paper umbrella rolled along the ground.

A woman in green lay prostrate, holding a boy covered in blood who wore a smile on his face.

But no matter how hard the rain poured, it couldn't wash away the blood streaming from his body.

She bowed her head, her tears swallowed by the rain.

The men in black attacked again, their icy dagger only a foot away from her.

Yet she didn't even raise her head. Her downcast eyes, hidden from view, were beginning to turn red.

Blood splattered across the Reincarnation Pearl.
