The dense forest lood. An Suzhu trudged, one deep step followed by a shallow one, trailing behind Bai Zhi’er.
At first, they walked side by side.
Eventually, An Suzhu inexplicably felt afraid.
This deep mountain wilderness, so desolate and uninhabited.
Why did brother choose this place of all places!
She cursed inwardly.
An Suzhu truly felt a bit terrified.
She glanced at the unfamiliar scenery around her.
At that mont, Bai Zhi’er, walking in front, suddenly spoke in a soft, sticky tone, "Have you ever heard a legend?"
An Suzhu hastily asked, "What legend?"
Bai Zhi’er stopped, her voice ghostly, "The wandering spirits in the deep mountains find a scapegoat to take their place before they can reincarnate."
"They drift aimlessly, just to find soone suitable. Do you know what kind of person is suitable?"
As she spoke, she turned her head, looking at An Suzhu emotionlessly.
An Suzhu was shocked by Bai Zhi’er’s expression.
She stamred, "Wha-what kind of person?"
Bai Zhi’er’s voice was stiff and cold, "Soone who’s done sothing utterly despicable."
An Suzhu was startled.
She couldn’t even muster a laugh.
"Princess, this servant is timid, please stop."
Bai Zhi’er chuckled coldly, "With such a small courage, you and your brother still dare to venture this deep into the woods, huh?"
She pranced joyfully through the forest.
An Suzhu closely followed her, fearing Bai Zhi’er would leave her behind.
They’d been walking for so long, why hadn’t they t her brother yet.
Is An Shiyu even reliable!
An Suzhu anxiously cursed in her heart.
At that mont, Bai Zhi’er picked up a stone and handed it to An Suzhu.
"Hold on to it, just in case."
An Suzhu was surprised, "Princess, what is this for?"
Bai Zhi’er looked up at her, asking in a surprised tone, "You really have no clue about the mountain’s taboos, huh?"
An Suzhu’s lips trembled, "I-I don’t know..."
What other taboos are there?!
Bai Zhi’er’s small face was rosy, with her nose reddened adorably by the wind.
Yet her tone was as haunting and chilling as the wind.
"As we walk, we might encounter the illusion spell, wandering in circles without even realizing it. Many people get trapped for a lifeti, never finding their way out."
"What?!" An Suzhu was nearly terrified to tears.
Bai Zhi’er nodded, "So that stone of yours, it’s ant to hit your own head at a crucial mont."
"Blood and pain will break the illusion spell, so no matter what, hold on to the stone!"
An Suzhu was unwilling.
She was utterly terrified!
"Princess, let’s head back the way we ca now."
"You’re not going to find your brother?"
"No! Brother might have already gone down the mountain, I want to go ho first."
She was genuinely scared.
However, Bai Zhi’er shook her head, "It’s too late."
She pointed with her small hand at their surroundings, "Look, doesn’t this scenery look just like where we just walked? Even the position of the big trees is identical."
An Suzhu was shocked, her face drained of color.
"Princess... do you an we’ve hit the spell?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded her little head heavily.
"I’m afraid so!"
An Suzhu collapsed onto the ground, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I’m scared, sob, father, concubine, save !" she whimpered.
Bai Zhi’er, standing before her, couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.
This foolish and wicked person, trying to scare her?
Let’s see how you deal with my tricks!
Just then, Bai Zhi’er heard a "hiss hiss hiss" sound behind her.
