The endless rolling yellow sand seemed to be emitting white smoke from the sun's baking heat. The wind was strong in the desert, and sand would often fly into people's eyes.
Feng Guang felt empty and confused. She was still puzzled as to why she had come to a barren desert after leaving the ghost town. She looked up at the man beside her, but she was stunned because the man who had just been standing next to her had disappeared.
She looked around blankly, seeing nothing but yellow sand. A sense of unease crept into her heart. "Sijia! Where are you!?"
She called out loudly, but her voice was quickly swallowed by the wind and sand; apart from the sound of the wind, no other sound answered her.
Fengguang circled around but still couldn't find the man. She was already dizzy from the sun, and her pampered body ached terribly from walking for so long in the harsh environment. But she kept calling Sijia's name until she was exhausted. She squatted down, feeling afraid in the empty environment.
Her small frame looked frighteningly fragile against the backdrop of yellow sand, but she didn't remain despondent for long. She wiped the dust off her face and stood up again.
Sijia couldn't have disappeared without a reason. She guessed that perhaps she hadn't left the ghost town yet, and what she was seeing now was just an illusion. Perhaps... perhaps they deliberately separated her from Sijia so that they could defeat them one by one. Maybe their goal was to wait until she was in despair so that they could possess her body and take over her physical form.
Feng Guang recalled all the patterns in the horror stories she had heard before, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the only answer. But those people... no, those ghosts were wrong. She was not someone who gave up easily, and at least she wouldn't abandon Si Jia so easily.
The flail...
She hasn't made him fall in love with her yet!
Suddenly, Feng Guang felt energized. She walked aimlessly through the yellow sand. Even though she could feel that her feet were definitely blistered, she still called out Si Jia's name every few steps. She seemed to have forgotten her fatigue, but her body always dragged down her strong will.
After her mouth became dry, she finally couldn't help but stop and rest for a while. A voice in her mind seemed to be reminding her that she had walked far enough and was tired enough, so she should close her eyes and rest for a while... She did close her eyes, but after only a second, she patted her face to keep herself from actually falling asleep.
"Sijia, I will find you..."
To encourage herself, she muttered to herself that in such a treacherous environment, she used to only fear that she wouldn't survive, but now she realized that when a person has a goal, the impossible can be turned into the possible.
Her exquisite and expensive dress had become quite dirty from the wind and sand, and even her usually delicate face was covered in dust and dirt from the sandstorm. She looked less like a high-ranking princess and more like an ordinary common girl.
Because she firmly believed that this was an illusion created by those ghosts to make her lose her will, she dared not have any negative thoughts even when she was extremely tired. At this moment, the thought of finding Sijia became her only motivation to walk in this desert.
