"Besides itching, does it also hurt?"
Ma Linghua's voice was filled with anxiety as her gaze repeatedly swept over the strange black lump on Ma Hehua's back, trying to discern more clues about the illness from Hehua's subtle reactions.
"It doesn't hurt, but I feel very, very hungry, and I keep thinking about eating something."
Ma Hehua pouted, and her stomach rumbled at just the right moment, which was especially clear in the quiet night in the desolate wilderness.
"It seems we can ask that Gu Daoist later."
Ma Linghua bit her lower lip, her brows furrowed with worry. Now, to understand the strange state of the lotus, it seemed that only this perilous path remained to explore.
Before the words had even faded, a sudden bang! Bang! Bang! rang out, like a heavy hammer striking a taut heartstring.
Ma Linghua's eyes narrowed sharply, flashing with a cold light, and she shouted sternly, "Someone is breaking my barrier! Lotus, put your clothes on properly. I want to see who it is!"

His footsteps were silent, yet they sent shivers down Ma Linghua's spine. She could sense that this person's spiritual power was as deep and boundless as the ocean, making him no ordinary opponent.
The newcomer stopped, his eyes, like deep pools beneath his hood, flashed with a cold light, and he spoke calmly: "Unauthorized trespassing and setting up a barrier, how dare you."
Her voice was like polished cold iron, exuding a chilling aura and arrogance. Ma Linghua swallowed her nervousness and unleashed her full power: "You broke my barrier without cause, and now you're the one making the accusation?"
Secretly, he gripped the magic seal tightly, pondering a plan to escape and counterattack. Ma Hehua secretly watched from behind, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
