The moment Shen Qiqi saw that face, her body shook instinctively, and the Qisifeng Lantern in her hand was shaken out, and then fell into the water with a plop.
And the spiritual fire she had just released also burned out.
The vision suddenly became pitch black!
Shen Qiqi... Shen Qiqi's little face instantly turned three points paler than a ghost face!
She was extremely afraid of the dark, and the water dungeon was at the bottom of the valley a hundred feet below the ground. Now that all the light sources were out, the area around her suddenly became so dark that it didn't seem like the human world. There was no need to deliberately exaggerate the darkness, as it already had a gloomy atmosphere.
Besides, there was a female ghost in red standing in the darkness, so it was impossible for her to say that she was not afraid at all.
Although women are weak when they are alive, they are often several times more vicious than male ghosts after they die and become ghosts.
Especially these female ghosts wearing red clothes, most of them suffered great torture and injustice in their lifetime.
How weak they were in life, how fierce they were after death.
But there are barriers all around the water prison, including above the head. How did this female ghost avoid the barrier and break in?
Shen Qiqi's mind was full of random thoughts, and she refused to rest for a moment, trying her best not to let the darkness affect her. At the same time, her hands kept moving, and she gathered a ball of spiritual fire again, and hit the female ghost without hesitation.
She has now reached the level of a spiritual master, although she is only a first-level spiritual master. This is nothing compared to the Wuji Sect where high-level cultivators are everywhere, but she should have no problem dealing with a female ghost.
Sure enough, as soon as she swung the ball of fire in her hand, the female ghost in red was frightened and screamed, turned around and ran away, and then dived back into the water with a splash.
Shen Qiqi: ...are you so cowardly?
Previously, she was worried about the strength of the female ghost, so no matter how afraid she was of the dark, she did not dare to waste too much spiritual power on lighting.
Now seeing that the female ghost was so weak that she could be scared to death by a ball of spiritual fire, Shen Qiqi had an idea in her mind, and immediately used the spiritual fire to draw a big circle.
The flames flickered, and the surroundings instantly became as bright as day.
Shen Qiqi's figure flashed, she jumped over the circle of fire and chased to the water's edge. She saw a ball of black hair floating on the water, grabbed it and pulled it up.
She pulled the female ghost out of the water by her hair.
He was thrown heavily to the ground again.
Her red dress was dripping with water, her black weed-like hair not only covered her face, but she also covered her face tightly with her two hands. She didn't even dare to look at Shen Qiqi, and just kept sobbing.
His body was shaking like a sieve.
Shen Qiqi: ...Are you being too cowardly?
Although she beat a group of big and small ghosts and made them cry for their parents in her previous life, she is a serious cultivator in this life and there is no evil aura on her body. Why is this female ghost so afraid of her?
Shen Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
But this suspicion only floated in her heart for a few seconds before it subsided, replaced by anger.
If it weren't for this coward, her angry lantern wouldn't have fallen into the water...it was the only lantern on the entire island!
Once destroyed, it’s gone!
This means that for the next two months, as soon as the sun sets, she will have to stare at the darkness with her eyes open, unless she uses spiritual fire to illuminate herself.
This was a disaster like the end of the world for her who was afraid of the dark!
The more Shen Qiqi thought about it, the more she hated it. She glanced at the pitiful female ghost crying on the ground and said angrily, "Why are you crying? I didn't hit you!"
The female ghost shuddered and whispered, "Miss, I'm afraid of fire..."
"What's there to be afraid of about fire? Isn't the thing you ghosts fear most... uh!" Shen Qiqi paused, and suddenly felt that the voice seemed a little familiar.
She squatted down and looked at the female ghost curled up on the ground with scrutiny. After thinking for a while, she reached out and grabbed the ghost's collar and lifted her up.
It didn't take much effort and I lifted it up easily.
It was as if what she was holding in her hand was not a heavy body, but a light and weightless piece of paper.
She blew on the ghost girl's body again.
The trembling ghost girl was suddenly blown away like a paper figure, screaming in fear, her hands flailing in the air. Her face emerged from the black hair, staring at her with a pair of white pupils without eyeballs, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Girl! Girl——"
Shen Qiqi: "...Yinqiao? Why is it you?"
After making a fuss for a long time, the female ghost who was almost burned by her turned out not to be a ghost, but Yinqiao, the paper maid given to her by her master.
Shen Qiqi simply didn't know what to say. She put Yin Qiao down and said speechlessly, "Who did you learn this bad habit from? You're just fine, but you're trying to scare people... You know that scaring people can kill them, don't you? "
Although Yinqiao had been recognized, she still shrank like a quail. Her white, eyeless pupils stared fearfully at the blazing flames around her. She trembled and said, "Miss, I didn't mean to scare you. I was swimming in the water when something suddenly hit me on the head. If you don't believe me, just look."
As she spoke, she stretched her head over for Shen Qiqi to see.
Afraid that Shen Qiqi couldn't see clearly, she carefully parted her hair.
Shen Qiqi lowered her eyes and saw that there was indeed a small stone stuck in the center of Yinqiao's scalp.
Although her name, Shen Qiqi, was not engraved on the stone, she was the only living person on the entire island, and she had indeed thrown a stone into the water just now.
So the stone stuck in Yinqiao's head was obviously the stone she had thrown out before.
Shen Qiqi felt a little guilty, and reached out to help Yin Qiao pull out the stone and throw it away. Looking at the fist-sized hole, she felt even more guilty, thinking that it was fortunate that Yin Qiao was a paper figure, otherwise, with such a big hole in her head, her brain would probably flow out.
She found a piece of paper from her storage bag and patched up the hole in Yinqiao's head while saying awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. I didn't know you were in the water... Wait!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes, looked at Yin Qiao, and asked suspiciously: "Yin Qiao, aren't you made of paper?"
Paper people are not only afraid of fire, but also afraid of water!
A paper figure that dissolves when it comes into contact with water actually dares to go into the water... Could this Yinqiao be the incarnation of a mountain spirit or monster?
Yinqiao had no idea she was being suspected. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "Yes, young lady, I am made of paper."
Shen Qiqi: "Paper figurines are afraid of water."
"Yes, young lady, I am afraid of water. I am also afraid of fire. Water and fire are my natural enemies." Yin Qiao said as she trembled and looked at the flames burning around her. She pleaded pitifully with Shen Qiqi, "So, young lady, can you put out this fire? I am scared."
“…” Shen Qiqi thought to herself, you dare to say that.
She narrowed her eyes, her gaze instantly becoming stern. She stared at Yin Qiao coldly and asked, "Since you said water and fire are your natural enemies, then why were you able to climb out of the water so easily?"
Yinqiao was trembling with her shoulders in her arms. Upon hearing this, she grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Because I'm not Yinqiao."
