“Goddess, Goddess, something's wrong!” a young boy rushed into the courtyard in a panic.
“What happened? Don’t be alarmed.”
“The villagers, all the villagers have disappeared!”
“What’s going on?” Zhen'er shouted anxiously.
“I don’t know, I don’t know. Quickly, let’s go to the front hall, Miss. The Master is not doing well!”
“Father, Father!” Zhen'er was the first to rush out, and we quickly followed behind.
The White Clan Leader was weakly half-reclining on a chair, with the butler beside him trying to dissuade him as he struggled to stand up.
“Butler, how is the White Clan Leader?” I asked.
“Goddess, please persuade our Master; he wants to go to the ancestral hall!”
“No, Father. How can you fight that monster in your current state?”
“As long as I am the leader of Holy Spirit Village, I will never abandon my people.”
“Sigh, Leader, you should stay here. We will go to the ancestral hall; leave the rescue to us.” Looking at this old man who seemed like he would collapse at any moment, I couldn’t bear it. As long as one recognizes the problem, the bad elements will eventually be eliminated.
“Yes, Father, I will definitely bring everyone back. I beg you; I don’t want to lose Mother and then lose you too!”
Zhen'er buried her head in Silver Moon's embrace and sobbed, while Silver Moon gently patted Zhen'er with a pained expression. Such tenderness was no longer directed at me.
“We need to allocate tasks first,” said Ni Tian.
"How do you think?" I asked.
"Let's split into two groups. Silver Moon, Zhen'er, and you will work together to help Silver Moon regain her memory. I'll take the Wild Ghost, White Soul, and Flower Tears to find those villagers."
"That's fine, but be very careful. The ancestral hall is completely controlled by the Three-Headed Serpent, and we are at a significant disadvantage."
"We have no other choice. Let's move," said Niti.
The Wild Ghost, Niti, White Soul, Flower Tears, Silver Moon, and Zhen'er—our group of seven headed toward the ancestral hall. Silver Moon remained silent, only following Zhen'er closely.
"The barrier is too strong; this Three-Headed Serpent is indeed extraordinary," Niti said, stroking his chin with a furrowed brow.
"We can get in; I know a place that won't alert them."
It's the same place Bai Li took me to last time—very secluded. Inside the secret chamber, there were two paths, but the routes inside were chaotic with many small branches. We split into two groups, one going left and the other right; here, we could only rely on luck.
The three of us left behind felt quite awkward as I walked briskly ahead while they followed behind.
"You’re back?"
Suddenly startled, a familiar voice echoed, filled with sorrow.
It was Bai Li!
"Bai Li, how did you end up here?"
"How could I not be here? Did you think that when you entered, I and the Mossan Serpent Sovereign wouldn't notice?"
"Oh no, this is bad!"
"What did you promise me?"
Faced with Bai Li's relentless voice, I suddenly felt a bit flustered.
"I'm sorry."
"Is that useful? You betrayed me!"
"I, I—"
"Hmph, such a minor character, what are you afraid of? Step aside," Yin Yue said.
Suddenly, before I could react, he struck at Bai Li.
"Moon Demon Arrow, Inferno of the Blazing Abyss!"
"No!" I shouted as I pushed Yin Yue away.
It was too late!
Bai Li couldn't dodge in time!
"Bai Li!" I rushed forward, wanting to check his injuries.
But I couldn't touch him. The Bai Li in front of me turned into an illusion, my hand passing right through his body.
How could this be? Is it also an illusion?
"Oh no, we might be lost."
It’s so vast here; I must have taken a wrong turn. Damn it, everywhere is an illusion.
“Sister Xi Meng, what’s wrong with you?” Zhen'er supported me.
“It’s nothing; I might have fallen into an illusion just now.”
As I spoke, I inadvertently glanced at Silver Moon and found him looking at me thoughtfully. Could it be that he was also trapped in an illusion just now?
“Everyone be careful; let’s keep moving.”
The further we walked, the stranger it felt. It was as if we could never reach the end. Everything looked the same, yet it felt like I had never been here before.
“Moon, what’s wrong?!” Zhen'er shouted from behind.
I turned around abruptly to see Silver Moon in pain, seemingly unable to hold himself up, completely leaning against the stone wall.
“Silver Moon, what’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?!” I unintentionally pushed Zhen'er aside and supported Silver Moon, not caring about anything else at the moment.
Silver Moon was pounding on the wall in agony, letting out faint sounds.
“What are you saying?”
“Dream… dream…” Silver Moon kept repeating this word for a long time. What does it mean? Is he calling for me?!
“Moon, I’m here; it’s okay.” Zhen'er frantically pushed me away and grabbed Silver Moon's hand, exuding a sense of fear. I didn’t know if I was being overly sensitive or if something was off, but I felt a surge of hostility—was it directed at me?
“Zhen'er, what’s wrong with you?”
“Get away! You stay away! No one can take Moon away; he is mine, and will always be mine!”
Zhen'er's state was like a state of panic, resembling a wild dog guarding its food, baring its fierce fangs. I was sure that her feelings were not only hostile but perhaps even meant to put me to death.
“Zhen'er, wake up! You must be under an illusion! I won't hurt you!”
“You're lying. You want to take away my beloved. You're deceiving me.”
“Wake up! Can you hear me?”
“Fine, then promise me you will never be with Silver Moon. He will always be mine!”
“Zhen'er, listen to me. You are not in your right mind right now, but you must believe me!”
“Then tell me! Just promise me, as long as you promise, I will believe you!”
I didn't know why, but I clearly understood that Zhen'er needed to hear my answer for things to improve slightly. However, the words stuck in my throat, and for a moment, I chose silence.
“See? You really are lying to me! You want to take away Moon, right?”
“No, I don't!”
“I... I want to kill you! Ah!”
Zhen'er lunged at me crazily.
