36 The Legend Part 18 (1/2)

Inside the inn, Chue Yi used his last energy to get up, untied the ropes that were tightly wrapped around Hli Ja and Pao Hua. Once he untied them, he led them down the stairs to the back door, but the fire was getting more intense. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. Hli Ja and Pao Hua coughed from inhaling fumes.

As they reached the end of the hallway to the back door, the pillar collapsed. Chue Yi used all his might to hold onto the burning pillars as he shielded Hli Ja and Pao Hua. He shouted, ”Go, just go!”

The fire started to spread and burn Chue Yi as he was holding onto the inn's pillars. He screamed for Pao Hua to take Hli Ja away. ”Aren't you, her brother? A brother must protect his sister. Take your sister away!”

Hli Ja did not want to leave the guards and maids behind as they had always helped her along the way.

Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head in refusal. The flames grew larger, larger, and inched closer. It was only a matter of time before they all would get burnt.

The steamers on the stage shot out the airs on the floor of the stage and followed by the flames.

Swoosh! Swoosh! The sound effects pulled the audiences into the scene of a house burning in the flames while the stage turned 180 degrees back and forth a couple of times giving the audience different angle views.

Everyone was tensed, focusing on the scene of the inn burning down to the ground.

As the inn tumbled down, a glass fell and rolled on the ground and the sound pulled the group's attention away from the play. They turned to look at Prince Hue Chi and saw the glass cup on the floor that had just rolled to a complete stop.

There was a thump on the floor followed by Su Na's scream, ”Yu Sha! Yu Sha!”

Everyone's attention shifted to the other end of the room and they saw Yu Sha on the floor, curled up grasping her chest wheezing for some air.

Everyone stood up and ran over to Yu Sha in panic at the sight of the lady lying on the ground, struggling to breathe. Yu Sha had not had any episodes for almost two decades.
