"No, I must find that cave!"

I told her what had happened in the past few days, hoping the little girl would know something I didn't.

She stared at me as if she'd seen a ghost. "Are you telling the truth, sister?"

"Absolutely."

Bai Xueying's face paled as she muttered to herself, "It's him, it's him …"

I was about to ask her who she was talking about when a sudden gust of wind blew my eyes shut. The little girl screamed and turned into a pool of blood.

I screamed and opened my eyes and found myself in a dream. I was lying on the rock where I had been resting, asleep.

This rock looked like a tombstone from the Republic of China era!

It was getting dark and I was walking down the hill, exhausted. The dream had been so real that I could almost feel the little girl's blood on my face.

The barren hills at night were especially quiet, and from time to time, the cries of crows could be heard.

I took out my cell phone to check the time. The bell suddenly rang, and I almost threw the phone out of the window. I looked at the name on the screen and picked up the call.

"Hey, Lin Jia?"

Before I could say anything, a beep beeped through the phone. I quickly returned the call and found that there was no signal at all.

What was going on?

When I heard a sound behind me, I turned around and nearly fell to the ground in fright.

The cave was right behind me, like a big bloody mouth trying to swallow me up.

I was scared, but I couldn't back down. If I wanted to find the answer, I had to go in, or all of us would die.

I tightly hugged my arms and walked forward step by step. A dense and cold aura gushed out from me, as though I had entered a cellar. In an instant, my breath turned into ice!

A chill ran down my spine, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just as one foot entered the cave, the sky and earth suddenly darkened before my eyes, a strong force tore at me, wanting to suck me into the depths of the cave.

I was scared and turned to run, but suddenly there was no path behind me, only a cold stone wall.

I'm finished, I'm going to die here today! I regret coming up the mountain alone.

It was at this moment that I suddenly fell into a wide chest.

With a gloomy face, he didn't say a word. He grabbed my sleeve and waved it, and a passageway appeared in front of my eyes. The next moment, we had already left the cave and appeared at the foot of the mountain.

I still have lingering fear in my heart, but I know that Murong Yifeng was saving me just now.

"Woman, what are you doing here? Are you courting death?" He glared at me, and his eyes wanted to tear me apart.

"I'll go wherever I want to go, who cares!" I didn't understand why he was gnashing his teeth and talking to me like this, as if I had committed a grave mistake.

Besides, even if I made a mistake, it wouldn't be his turn to discipline, right? Do you really think I'll be afraid of you just because you're a ghost?

"Do you know how dangerous it is?" His beastly eyes stared at me, and I took two steps back, afraid that he would strangle me on the spot.

I thought he was going to do something scary to me, but he just stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly picked me up and flashed into a large house.

He threw me on the bed and turned to leave. "If you dare to run around again, see how I'll deal with you!"

I slept for a day and a night, and when I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day. Murong Yifeng was not in his room.

I folded my blanket, opened the door, and walked to the door, ready to take a taxi back to school.

When I turned around, the house behind me had disappeared. I was standing alone at the foot of the mountain with a gust of cold wind blowing in my face, bringing with it the smell of dirt.
