"Oh, right, river lanterns."
Bai Chan quickly took the paper lantern and ran to a secluded place. Behind Su Chen and the other two's backs, she secretly used magic to carve two lines of words on the lotus heart of the lotus-shaped lantern.
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone's attention was drawn to Bai Chan.
Bai Chan's second uncle stood next to Jin Yu, covering his mouth with his fan and whispering, "Hehe, my niece has lofty ambitions."
Jin Yu raised an eyebrow but did not respond.
Su Chen guessed that Bai Chan's second uncle must have used some kind of spying magic to see Bai Chan's wishes.
As a seasoned gossip enthusiast (lol...), Su Chen naturally wanted to know as well, but since she knew too little about immortal arts, she could only quietly ask, "What did she write?"
Bai Chan's second uncle looked at her and asked, then burst into laughter, "Little beauty, do you want to know?"
Su Chen felt a chill run down her spine from his laughter, shivered, and patted the goosebumps that had risen on her arms.
"Do I... want to know?" He had a feeling that Bai Chan's second uncle was setting a trap for him.
"You want to?" Bai Chan's second uncle blinked his peach blossom eyes. "Come on, call me 'little brother' so I can hear it."
Su Chen: ...
Forget it, it's better if she doesn't know. Even if we're not gossipy, we shouldn't call her "little brother."
"Fine, if you don't want to know, then forget it," Bai Chan's second uncle said, pursing his lips.
Just as Su Chen was about to complain, she felt the ground beneath her feet shake, and everything in front of her seemed to blur into double images. It looked like she was about to be thrown to the ground.
"Bai Chan, come back!" Bai Chan's second uncle shouted to Bai Chan by the river.
Bai Chan clung to the riverbank, and as the world swayed, it seemed as if the river was pulling her in. She was about to give up and could only cry out to the shore for help: "Second Uncle!"
"Grab her!" Bai Chan's second uncle shouted, his figure flashing to Bai Chan's side. His legs instantly transformed into flowers and trees, taking root on the bank, while his hands stretched out vines to tightly wrap around Bai Chan and pull her, resisting the suction force of the river.
Seeing that his brother could not hold on any longer, Jin Yu quickly used his magic to fly up. A colorful feather flew in from nowhere and transformed into a ball, enveloping Bai Chan and her nephew.
The scene was indeed very beautiful.
But Su Chen had no time to appreciate the strange and beautiful scenery, because she was about to fly away too!
Su Chen had no choice but to follow suit and transform into his original form. The tree roots dug deeper and deeper into the mud, but Su Chen dared not transform into his original form entirely, because although his original form was tall, it was too fragile in this strong wind. It would be better to transform into a soft reed and perhaps escape this calamity.
However, even if her legs became roots stuck in the mud, they couldn't withstand the powerful suction of the river.
Su Chen resisted for only a short while before being uprooted by the powerful suction, her entire body swept away along with the tangled soil.
After flipping several times in the air, Su Chen closed her eyes, preparing for the ball to die.
Of course, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart that Jin Yu, who seemed to be the villainous big boss, would come to her rescue.
But she was wrong.
When the evil dragon suddenly leaped from the river and bit her flesh, Su Chen finally understood the difference between the protagonist and cannon fodder.
Looking at Bai Chan and her nephew still struggling on the shore, and at Jin Yu still setting up a barrier in the sky.
What Su Chen was thinking about was not how miserable she was, or how quickly she was going to die.
Instead...
"I was bitten, why doesn't it hurt?"
