Chapter 49 Chapter 49 There was fog all around, Li Yian looked...
There was fog all around, and Li Yian saw pairs of green eyes hidden in the fog.
No matter how fast she ran, she was still trapped in the fog.
She led Li Xia down to the ground, where she collapsed, her legs too weak to stand. The palace wasn't large, but Li Yian was lost. She ran for a long time in the fog, unable to find a familiar path. She seemed to be going in circles.
Li Yian held his sword in front of Li Xia and turned around to ask urgently, "Where is this place?"
Li Xia's face turned pale and he quickly shook his head, "I don't know."
Li Yian realized they were trapped in an illusion. She brought her finger to her lips and bit it hard. Feeling a stream of warm blood oozing from the wound, she quickly swiped the bloodstain from her middle finger forward. The thick fog was parted by her blood, creating a path.
Li Yian quickly grabbed Li Xia's arm, pulled her up, and ran towards the road. But Li Xia stumbled and fell as she ran, so Li Yian had no choice but to lift her onto his shoulders and carry her as he ran.
After running for an unknown amount of time, she finally escaped the foggy land and returned to the familiar palace. She placed Li Xia beneath a stone pillar and looked around warily. Seeing the lights ablaze and maids milling about, the place seemed bustling with life, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Xia, "It's all right."
When Li Xia heard Li Yian's words, her tense heartstrings suddenly collapsed. She huddled down under the stone pillar and sobbed. Her sobs started softly and then turned into full-throated tears.
Li Yian was at a loss as to what to do after her crying. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He whispered, "Don't cry."
But Li Xia's emotions burst out and she started crying as if no one was around.
Li Yian couldn't bear to see others cry, so he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Xia's hand. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he stood aside and waited for her to finish crying.
Until her crying subsided a little, two familiar-looking maids came over and looked down at Li Xia, "Little Princess?"
Li Xia wiped her tears hastily and said through gritted teeth, "What are you looking at?!" She stood up and saw Li Yian standing next to her, tears in her eyes, hesitant to speak.
Seeing that Li Yian still had a stern face, Li Xia thought that if she thanked her, she would lose face. In the end, she just snorted and said, "I won't thank you. It's your responsibility to protect me."
Li Yian turned his gaze away indifferently, pretending not to hear what Li Xia said.
Li Yian was very puzzled. Why were the girls from the Faculty of Arts so lively and cute, but Li Xia was so unattractive?
But if you think about it carefully, the original owner Li Yian's personality is similar to Li Xia's. No wonder the original owner has such bad popularity that he is jealous of Mu Yang's good popularity and jealous of Mu Yang being loved by everyone.
Li Yian was lost in thought when the two familiar-looking maids supported Li Xia and seemed to be going somewhere.
Li Yian ignored them and looked around, searching for Mu Yang and Li Xuan. The palace wasn't very large, stretching from west to east. As a martial artist, Li Yian had sharp ears and eyes, so she shouldn't have missed anything Mu Yang was saying.
At this time, the moon was still hanging high in the sky, and its position had not changed.
Li Yian looked around and suddenly found that Mu Yang was standing not far away, knocking on the door of a palace and shouting something with his mouth open.
And that palace happened to be Mu Yang's room, and it was also the place where Li Yian and Li Xia had just escaped.
Mu Yang opened his mouth to scream, but Li Yian couldn't hear him. It wasn't until Mu Yang pushed the door open that Li Yian saw two people lying in the palace. They were Li Yian and Li Xia. Candles were burning, and everything around them was neat and tidy.
When Li Yian saw this, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back and quickly turned around to look for Li Xia.
Li Xia was supported by two maids and had not gone far.
Li Yian suddenly remembered why these two maids looked familiar. It turned out that these two maids were the ones who were hiding in the corner of the corridor in the afternoon and staring at Mu Yang with a sinister smile.
Li Yian hurried forward, but found that her pace slowed down. The strength of her body seemed to be restrained by something and she could not use 100% of her strength.
But even with half her strength, she quickly caught up with the two maids, pushed them away, and protected Li Xia behind her.
Li Yian didn't understand what was happening now.
She and Li Xia seemed to have left their bodies, and were now in the second level of illusion.
Li Yian hurriedly bit her finger, but found that her finger was still bleeding. She shook the blood out, and the surrounding environment quickly changed into an abandoned inn.
Li Yian had never been to this inn.
The two maids behind them kept following them, first walking on their feet, then walking with a twisted posture and bent over, and finally crawling on their hands like lizards to chase them.
Li Yian picked up his sword and wanted to chop them down, but found that he had no strength to chop them at all.
The two maids laughed loudly, their mouths wide open and bloody mouths showing, and crawled towards them.
Li Xia screamed in fright and fell to the ground. Because Li Xia was holding Li Yian's hand tightly, she pulled Li Yian to the ground as she fell.
The two maids crawled to their side, put their faces in front of them, very close to their faces, and sniffed their scent madly.
When had Li Yian ever been so embarrassed? He gritted his teeth and swung the hand holding the hilt of the sword forward vigorously. The two maids hid not far away and laughed non-stop.
When Li Yian's mentality exploded, he suddenly heard a gentle yet anxious voice beside his ear, "Li Yian, don't breathe. Don't let them suck your energy."
Li Yian was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw Cheng Qiu standing next to her. He was in a soul state, emitting a faint white light, and his handsome face was full of worry.
"Don't breathe. Keep calm and don't get startled, or your energy will leak out."
"Cheng Qiu, what are you doing..."
Seeing the two maids quickly crawling over again, Li Yian hurriedly shouted to Li Xia, "Don't breathe, close your eyes."
Because Li Yian and Li Xia were in spirit form, they wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if they didn't breathe. After experiencing so many terrible things with Li Yian, Li Xia had developed a deep trust in Li Yian. When Li Yian asked her to hold her breath and close her eyes, she quickly obeyed.
Li Yian didn't want to see those two evil and weird faces either, so she closed her eyes as well. The moment she closed her eyes, the evil and weird laughter and the surrounding noise instantly disappeared.
In the darkness, she could hear and feel nothing.
She didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly she heard the school bell ringing. Her mind was suddenly shaken by something, and an idea flashed through her mind.
Everything she experienced in the novel was just a dream she had.
As long as she opens her eyes, she can return to the real world.
