[The Aura of Our Lady – As a Virgin Mary, your vitality is tenacious; as long as you have a breath left, you will slowly recover.]
"Hmm? That's amazing?" Qi Yu's eyes lit up.
A holy light surrounded her, and its healing effect made the pain from her wounds less intense.
The original owner was fifteen years old this year, but his aptitude for cultivation was extremely poor. He couldn't draw qi into his body no matter what he did. As for ascending to immortality, who knows when that would be?
Just as she was thinking about how to complete the task, Qi Yu suddenly felt something touch her ankle, causing a strange itching sensation.
She looked down and, through the murky water, met several pairs of small, dark eyes.
Holy crap!
Qi Yu was startled, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
"Heh...heh..."
The thing looked like a fish, but it had four deformed hairy legs. Its dead fish eyes stared at her, and it spat out a few bubbles from its mouth while gently touching her ankle, making a hoarse sound from some unknown organ.
Qi Yu's vision went black, and she trembled as she bent her knees and slowly moved to the side, causing the strange fish to follow her.
"System, what is this thing?!" She gritted her teeth, looked around, and found herself surrounded by an endless thick fog, unable to find its source.
[During the investigation, this place is called the Netherworld Cold Pool. The water contains the vengeful spirits who have fallen into the pool over millions of years, forming a barrier with no exit.]
[This strange fish is influenced by vengeful spirits and will drain a person's life force. Don't be afraid, host; with the Holy Mother's aura around you, you won't die!]
Qi Yu really wanted to drag this unreliable system out and beat it up; it's easy for someone standing there talking without understanding the situation.
Relying solely on the halo of sainthood to keep her alive wasn't a solution. She put the water-repelling pill given to her by the system in her mouth and took the "Sword of Compassion" out of her system inventory.
A sword shimmering with holy light appeared in Qi Yu's hand. The blade was slender, and the hilt was carved with an image of the Virgin Mary weeping. A pearl was inlaid at the teardrop, emitting a shimmering light, both majestic and compassionate.
Upon seeing the sword, the strange fish seemed to be frightened and retreated a distance, but they still relentlessly followed Qi Yu.
Although the system said that there was no exit from this barrier, based on her many years of experience reading novels, there must be a key here, and finding it would break the deadlock.
Qi Yu took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
At the bottom of the pool, a naked man, bound by chains, opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils fixed on the light.
