C206 (2/2)

Facing his praise, even I didn't know what to say. I said that he was mocking me, but his expression was extremely serious. He could only turn around and leave in disappointment.

”Be careful, don't be like Ah Zi, I still have to send you back.”

As I walked, I wondered if it was my imagination that made the mist around me start to dissipate.

The further I walked, the more I felt no pain at all.

It made me bend down to touch my ankle, which was not damaged at all.

This meant that there were still no problems. The only answer left was that the river god had already left.

The surrounding environment slowly changed, and the white mist gradually dispersed. The scenery in front of them also gradually revealed their original appearances.

It was a large pond, surrounded by tall aquatic plants, and the more we looked outside, the more we could see the tall trees, and what we were treading on became dry, withered aquatic plants, and what lay before us was a road.

The barrier seemed to have been opened.

The egret and I looked at each other and quickly headed for the end of the road. At the end of the road, there was a single smooth step, a place for washing things.

There was a man lying on the steps, his upper body in the water and his lower body on the shore.

My heart thumped. Even though we were quite a distance away, I was certain that it was Xiao Hong. She just laid there motionlessly, causing me to recall some bad scenes.

The egret was obviously not as sick as I thought. He only paused for a moment, then hurried over and lifted the man onto the dry ground.

I immediately went over and saw Xiao Hong's pale face. Her eyes were tightly shut and her hands were trembling.

”Is the human dead?”

The egret looked confused as it reached out and placed its hand on Xiao Hong's heart.

I swallowed and tried to breathe behind me, but before I could react, my hand was knocked away and a pair of large hands took my place under my nose.

His hand was stinging from the hit, but he didn't have the chance to blame it.

With a serious expression, Xu Zizai held Xiao Hong in his arms and said, ”Take out your Yang Fire Talisman. Otherwise, she will really die.”

Although I was surprised that Xu Zizai suddenly appeared, the most important thing right now was to save Xiao Hong. She didn't even know how long she had stayed in the water for.

After finding the Yang Fire Talisman, I carefully took it away from the egret. I also kept it away from the egret in case I hurt it.

Xu Zizai grabbed the talisman paper with one hand and took a deep breath, he was obviously not as calm as he looked on the surface. He turned his head to look at me seriously and said, ”Wait a moment, I will force her Yin Qi. When she has any reaction, immediately place the talisman paper on her chest, do you understand?”

”What reaction?”

I asked nervously.

Xu Zizai replied in a low voice, ”Any reaction.”
