Nangong Ziyan quickly stopped and looked around, but there wasn't a soul in sight, only her and the lush trees.
She suddenly disappeared; Haotian must be frantically searching for her now! No, she had to get out of there quickly. The thought of Haotian's fearful eyes pained her heart.
Nangong Ziyan ran and flew, but a long time passed and she still didn't see a trace of the magical beast.
"That's strange. Could it be that we've encountered the soul of a magical beast? We can hear it, but we can't see it."
Nangong Ziyan couldn't help but mutter to herself again.
"Hey! Who brought me here? I'm here now, so you should have said something! Don't make me run around like an idiot!"
Nangong Ziyan shouted into the air. She knew she wouldn't have fallen for no reason; there must have been a cause.
There was no response; the surroundings were deathly silent.
This frightened Nangong Ziyan. She thought of the bone flute her father had given her. At this moment, Nangong Ziyan wanted someone to be by her side, even if it was just a soul!
With a gentle whistle, the bone flute produced a melodious sound, but contrary to her expectations, Ling Yunxuan did not appear.
Nangong Ziyan glanced at the bone flute.
"Has it malfunctioned?"
Nangong Ziyan reluctantly put it back in her mouth and blew on it a few more times, but it still didn't appear.
Fine! Nangong Ziyan resigned herself to her fate; she refused to believe she couldn't find a way out.
Just as she was about to leave, a white figure flashed past her eyes at lightning speed, so fast that Nangong Ziyan thought she was hallucinating.
Nangong Ziyan trembled slightly, her eyes moving but her body remaining still.
"Who is it! Is this kind of ghostly act fun? Come out now, or I'll tear you to pieces."
Nangong Ziyan spoke boldly, but she shrank back without any backbone. She was like a tortoise looking at the sky, cowering and timid.
"Do I need to ask you who you are? How did you end up in my territory?"
A woman's voice, soft and lingering, seemed to have been mellowed over thousands of years. The voice was like an echo in an empty room, and Nangong Ziyan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. It was like the scene in a 21st-century ghost movie where a female ghost was about to appear.
Are you alive or dead?
Nangong Ziyan asked with her eyes closed. She didn't want to see a bloody female ghost, but she was so scared that she lost her composure. What she had just seen seemed to be a white figure, not a bloody scene.
Do you consider me alive or dead?
The woman in white landed lightly in front of Nangong Ziyan. What was most striking was that her hair was snow-white and had no decorations on it, just floating around casually.
Hearing the voice so close yet so far, Nangong Ziyan suddenly opened her eyes and was instantly shocked. Had she seen the White-Haired Witch? The woman was dressed in a flawless white dress that reached the ground, with her white hair casually tied behind her head. Her elegant face was sculpted with exquisite features, a pair of clear white eyes, a small and delicate nose, and lips as thin as cherries with a glossy sheen.
Nangong Ziyan was certain she wasn't mistaken. She saw that her eyes were white, but very bright, and even her eyelashes were white. The only thing that stood out from the rest of her was her cherry-red lips.
"You, you, who are you?"
Nangong Ziyan said "you" three times in a row, trying to run away, but her body was so weak that she could hardly stand. At the same time, she was also certain of one thing: she couldn't outrun this light and airy person who was neither human nor ghost.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you don't seem to be from the Spirit Realm?"
The woman scrutinized Nangong Ziyan closely; she seemed to emanate a powerful aura that made the woman hesitant to approach.
"The Spirit Realm... I'm so ignorant, I've never heard of such a realm before. Could you please explain it to me?"
Nangong Ziyan was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped; the world was far more outrageous than she had ever imagined.
"The Spirit Realm is naturally a place where only souls can come. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be human. Humans cannot come to the Spirit Realm."
The woman looked at Nangong Ziyan strangely, trying to guess Nangong Ziyan's identity.
"Then, then you really are a ghost?" Nangong Ziyan asked in fear, trying to run away, but her feet felt like they were being held down and she couldn't lift them.
"I don't even look human! Didn't you see that my eyes are white?"
The woman sniffed at Nangong Ziyan, and the faint, pleasant fragrance emanating from her instantly calmed her agitated mood, making her even more curious about Nangong Ziyan.
Are all creatures with white eyeballs ghosts?
Nangong Ziyan looked puzzled, but why was her father acting like a normal person?
“The souls in the spirit world all have white eyes. Someone like you is very likely to encounter danger. They will drain your yang energy to increase their own cultivation. However, your cultivation is not high, but you have very pure spiritual energy.”
With each word the woman spoke, she smiled faintly, her expression exaggerated to the extreme.
Hmph! Her cultivation level isn't high, but does everyone and every ghost have to remind her? After the woman said that, Nangong Ziyan was no longer afraid. She walked a few steps towards the woman with her head held high and her chest out, while the woman actually took a few steps back in fright.
"Look, I possess the power to suppress any evil. They dare not approach me, and even you are afraid of me, aren't you?"
Thinking of this, Nangong Ziyan instantly became smug.
Whenever she encounters strange people or events, she forgets all the benefits she has brought.
"Indeed, I seem to sense a beam of light emanating from you that I dare not approach, yet the faint fragrance emanating from you brings me peace of mind. You are truly an extraordinary woman. Judging from this, the fact that you have fallen into my territory for no reason means you must be the person I have been waiting for."
