How could this be?

He could not believe his eyes. Hesitantly, he stepped forward, bowed, and scooped up a handful of water. Feeling the bone-chilling cold, he watched the water fall through his fingers.

A huge wave suddenly crashed onto his body. It was cold and wet, causing Lu Zhinan to shudder, instinctively stopping in his tracks.

The water ran down his knees, up his waist, and over his chest.

Lu Zhinan only felt a strong pressure on his body, making it hard for him to breathe.

Hu Mei floated in the water, the distortion of the water ripples made her smile even more sinister. She reached out her hands, quickly grabbed Lu Zhinan's neck.

Lu Zhinan was unable to move. He held his breath, and his chest was so hot that it felt like suffocating.

”Bleeding from the tip of her tongue, spraying on her.”

Lu Zhinan unconsciously did as he was told. He clenched his teeth tightly on the tip of his tongue and felt a sharp pain that immediately woke him up as he spat out a mouthful of blood towards Hu Mei's face.

Hu Mei loosened her grip on Lu Zhinan's neck, her figure quickly sliding backwards.

Lu Zhinan bent his body, and panted heavily.

Fang Miaomiao ran over quickly and asked with concern: ”Young Master Lu, are you alright?”

Lu Zhinan straightened his back, and realized that he was actually standing in front of a wall with mountains and flowing water carved on it. That monstrous wave of water, that extremely realistic feeling of suffocation, could it be that it was just an illusion?

”I'm fine. Hu Mei fled … ”

”It was her illusion just now, not her real body.”

Fang Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief, but when she saw the five eye-catching purple-green finger prints on Lu Zhinan's neck, she said with a cold expression: ”Why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to wait outside? ”

Lu Zhinan looked at Fang Miaomiao, and said in a low voice: ”Heavenly Master Fang, I'm worried, I want to help you.”

Fang Miaomiao felt that it was both good and funny, ”Catching ghosts and demons, I'm an expert. Take good care of yourself, that's why you're helping me.”

At this moment, Lu Zhinan also realized that he seemed to be a burden to Fang Miaomiao. His ears turned red, and with a bit of shame on his face, he drooped his head.

”Now that everyone has entered, it won't be that easy to get out.”

As Fang Miaomiao spoke, she passed the Evil Repellent and Safe Talisman over to Lu Zhinan and took out a small piece of red rope to tie onto the root of his middle finger.
