The reason why the mermaid couldn't enter the dream before was because of that barrier. Now that the barrier has disappeared, entering the dream is easy.
"Thump..."
The moment the candied lotus seed in the girl's hand fell into the pond was the moment the barrier was broken.
Seeing the candied lotus seeds disappear from her hand, the girl felt a sudden emptiness in her heart for some reason, and stared blankly at the water where the candied lotus seeds had disappeared.
"Fat monk, I..."
After a while, the girl raised her head and looked ahead apologetically. Just as she was about to say something, she was shocked to find that the fat monk who had been sitting opposite her was gone.
"Fat monk!"
Upon seeing this, the girl paused for a moment, then stood up to call for help.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
But just as she stood up, the pavilion in the middle of the lake disappeared from her sight.
And standing on her feet was a huge lotus leaf.
In that instant, the girl felt as if all beauty had vanished, the world was eerily quiet, and she couldn't even feel a wisp of wind.
"Splash..."
Just as the girl was feeling somewhat lost, a crisp splashing sound rang out behind her.
She looked down and saw a woman with gray skin lying on the edge of a lotus leaf, looking up at her with a row of sharp teeth showing through her parted lips.
Upon seeing it, the girl subconsciously frowned, because she felt that the woman in front of her was completely out of place in the current environment.
"Miss."
At this moment, the woman in the water spoke and extended her hand to her, "The Tenth Elder sent me to take you back."
"Tenth Elder."
Upon hearing this, the girl, who had been wary, now understood. However, she was puzzled, as she had never seen the woman in the water before. So she asked, "Why did he want me to go back? Is the time up?"
The girl sounded somewhat impatient, because it had been agreed that she could stay in the human world for three years, and now she had only eaten something in this pond for a while, so why was she being asked to go back?
And there are also those candied lotus seeds.
Thinking of that bowl of candied lotus seeds that she had never even tasted, the girl couldn't help but feel a little angry. The reason why the fat monk disappeared earlier must have been because of the sudden appearance of this woman in the water.
Thinking back to the candied lotus seeds I ate in China, they tasted really good. I'm sure they'll taste even better in this magical place.
Now, because of these people's sabotage, she has lost the chance to taste it, which is truly despicable.
"Miss has been here for over a year."
However, when the woman in the water spoke, she completely stunned the girl: "Subtracting the time to return to the Demon Realm, there are hardly any three days left."
"What? More than a year?"
The girl's mouth gaped slightly in disbelief. "But...but I clearly..."
She only just arrived here and ate something a little while ago!
Could it be that she ate that plate of lotus root cakes for over a year before finishing them?
Although the girl didn't quite believe it, she didn't think the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket would dare to lie to her. She thought that if she continued to eat that bowl of candied lotus seeds, wouldn't she miss the time to go back?
This realization sent a chill down the girl's spine, as if she had just woken from a dream.
"Let's go."
After a moment of silence, the girl asked the woman in the water who was reading fortunes, "Then how do I leave this place?"
Although I had a nagging feeling that I didn't want to leave, time was running out.
