"Are you...are you alright?" Jiang Yaojie's voice came from behind Jiang Ling.

"Ah!" The tranquil Lu Family Village was shattered by a sharp scream.

Jiang Ling trembled all over, sweating profusely. She breathed heavily, her eyes blankly staring at Jiang Yaojie in front of her.

Seeing Jiang Ling like this, Jiang Yaojie almost burst into tears. He stood there, biting his lip, completely at a loss. He even stretched out his arm several times. He wanted to shake Jiang Ling, but she looked too terrifying. He didn't dare to touch her, afraid that she would devour him.

"Yao... Yao Jie?" Jiang Ling, who was gradually regaining consciousness, asked tentatively in a hoarse voice.

"Mom... Waaah... Mom, you scared me to death!!" Jiang Yaojie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Ling call him, and his emotions collapsed instantly.

"Yaojie, you scared me to death!" Jiang Ling thought to herself, but she didn't say it aloud. Instead, she asked, "Yaojie, what are you doing out so late?"

“I…I…I was worried about you…I…I didn’t know I would scare you! I saw…I saw you go into the mountains. I heard from the village chief that there are wolves around here at night. I was worried about you, so…so…” Jiang Yaojie lowered his head and his voice became softer and softer.

Jiang Ling smiled bitterly, leaned on the stone next to her to stand up, and gently comforted her, "I was just too timid, don't feel guilty! I know you're a good child!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded after hearing this, and mustered up his courage to ask, "Mother, let's leave here quickly! This is the White-Haired Goddess's Cave, we can't go in! If we go in, the White-Haired Goddess will punish us!"

As Jiang Yaojie spoke, he reached out to take Jiang Ling's hand, preparing to leave.

"The White-Haired Goddess? The White-Haired Goddess again?" Hearing Jiang Yaojie and the village chief say the same thing, Jiang Ling turned to Jiang Yaojie with a suspicious look and asked, "Yaojie, what is the White-Haired Goddess?"
