Jin Yinqian looked at Xie Ming in front of her, but couldn't remember how she got in.

Is he dead?

"Yinqian, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Tingyu moved closer to him and took his hand.

Feeling the warmth of his hands, he felt a little more at ease.

If it's not cold, then it's not what he thought; he might have just encountered something unusual.

Looking at Xie Ming again, Jin Yinqian guessed that it was because he came that he became a vegetable and couldn't wake up.

And what about yourself?

No, he absolutely has to go back!

Thinking of this, he mustered his courage, smiled, and walked over to ask, "How did you get in? Where's your sister?"

Xie Ming rolled his eyes and suddenly punched Jin Yinqian, saying, "Dare to betray my sister?"

Rong Tingyu was displeased when she saw Xie Ming start hitting someone right away. "Why are you hitting people? Don't you understand free love? The country doesn't care, yet you want to control everything?"

Jin Yinqian, unaware of the current situation, quickly pulled Rong Tingyu back.

Rong Tingyu realized what was happening and immediately stopped, looking at the person holding her hand in horror.

When she looked over, she noticed that Jin Yinqian looked strange and had a light sheen of sweat on her forehead, and she immediately panicked.

What exactly happened? Or is this place...? Why can't she remember anything from before?

In her panic, she unconsciously grabbed Jin Yinqian's arm and pressed herself against him.

Just as the two were slowly moving away from Xie Ming, a noisy commotion arose from around some corner.

The two turned around and saw five men, covered in blood, coming in from the other side.

"Ah—a ghost! This really is the underworld! Help! I don't want to die! Waaah—"

When Rong Tingyu saw what those people looked like, she was so frightened that she screamed and cried, almost lifting the roof off.

The group was startled by the sudden sound, and when they saw that the person opposite them was shouting "There's a ghost!", they were immediately displeased. What kind of nonsense was she spouting? It was bad luck.

"What are you yelling about! You idiot! Have you ever seen a hell that looks like a supermarket?"

"You wretched woman, your crying is awful!"

"Damn it! I want to beat up women who cry so ugly all the time!"

Rong Tingyu couldn't hear the way others disliked her, just as they had disliked women in the past. She threw herself into Jin Yinqian's arms and cried loudly.

Sensing the five people's rising anger, Jin Yinqian suppressed her fear, pushed her away, and gently comforted her, "Tingyu, look, they have shadows, and our hands are warm too!"

At this moment, Rong Tingyu calmed down and pitifully hugged Jin Yinqian. Her demeanor was completely different from her "generous" appearance in the stir-fry restaurant.

"Jin Yinqian, you used my sister and then moved on to someone better? But you have some strange tastes, you can actually stomach this kind of stuff."

Xie Ming glanced at Rong Tingyu, whose makeup was severely smudged, his disdain impossible to hide.

Thinking of his new girlfriend's family background, Jin Yinqian said confidently, "Marriage is about choosing a partner for the rest of your life. If you're not compatible with your sister, you'll have to break up eventually."

Xie Ming immediately retorted, "You didn't say it was inappropriate when I was spending my sister's money before, but now that you've got a stronger stance, it's inappropriate!"

Jin Yinqian felt insulted by Xie Ming's words and glared at him angrily. Xie Ming was not going to tolerate his provocation. He strode over and kicked him in the lower abdomen, sending him flying four or five meters away.

Everyone present fell silent immediately; this was clearly not a superhuman force.

Jin Yinqian clutched his penis, his face flushed red. The pain gave him a sudden realization: perhaps Xie Ming had become well-connected here, or maybe he was the mastermind behind it all.

Immediately, a look of regret appeared on his face. He might still need Xie Ming, an insider, to help him leave, but now that things had turned out this way, would Xie Ming still help him leave?

Thinking that he might need to use his "former brother-in-law" later, Jin Yinqian gritted his teeth, stood up, bowed to Xie Ming, and said, "I'm sorry! I'm the one who wronged your sister. Now that we're stuck in this strange place, let's not dwell on what happened before and focus on getting out of here first. We can talk about other things after we get out, okay?"

Xie Ming thought this was a capable person. Knowing how patient he was, he should have kicked him harder just now.

The five thugs knew Xie Ming was not someone to be trifled with, so they didn't dare to step forward and stood there silently.

At that moment, another person entered from outside.

The man was dressed in mountaineering attire, clearly indicating that he had been brought here from the wilderness.

Seeing so many people gathered here, he paused for a moment before coming over and saying, "Hello! Do you know where this is?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The man concealed his confusion but quickly smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Zheng Donghai."

"Xie Ming!"

Ignoring everyone else, Xie Ming reached out and shook hands with Zheng Donghai. When their hands separated, they both grinned, revealing smiles that said "we hit it off immediately."

Then the others also greeted each other.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Xie Ming subtly "digested" the mark Zheng Donghai had left on his hand.

Surrounded by people, Jung Donghae breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that his "mark" was finally gone.

He grew up in a well-off family, but he was sickly from birth, and his family had no choice but to send him to his great-uncle, who knew qigong, to raise. The great-uncle took one look and sighed, saying there was no hope for him.

His parents refused to give up and resorted to their ancestral protective charms.

That thing looked like a feather but was as hard as iron. When it was passed down from my ancestors, they instructed that it should not be used unless there was a major disaster.

Since he started wearing that protective magic item, his health has gradually improved.

The magic weapon was supposed to be used to win him over after his 20th birthday, but he forgot about it on his 20th birthday because he went to a hotel with someone.

He had never paid much attention to the things he had worn since childhood, but little did he expect that the feathers would gradually seep into his bones and blood, slowly transforming into strange totems.

He was terrified because the steel feather seemed to gradually gain consciousness after entering his body, and he felt that he would be replaced by it sooner or later.

The treasure that once saved his life suddenly became a sword hanging over his head.

He didn't want to die, so he began searching for the origin of this magical artifact and a way to get rid of it.

As the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. The Zheng family finally found the source of this thing in an ancient book abroad, and also found a way to remove it.

He then followed the steps in the ancient book, and just when he thought he was about to succeed, he was unexpectedly brought to this place by the steel feather.

He knew this was the place where he could get rid of that thing. Thinking of what Xie Ming had absorbed, he gave Xie Ming a sincere smile.

Xie Ming watched the man next to him chatting and laughing and also laughed heartily.

In his past life, he inexplicably ended up here. After meeting Zheng Donghai, Zheng Donghai repeatedly showed him goodwill, and the two soon became close friends.

Xie Ming already possessed some martial arts skills, and naturally, he always stepped forward when trouble arose, even sustaining injuries multiple times in order to save Zheng Donghai.

But in the end, this person, in order to save his own life, pulled him into the water, causing him to lose his life.

Having returned, he naturally knew the cause and effect.
