After knowing that Xiangjiang was suspicious of me and probing me, I became even more wary of him. If I could avoid him, I would avoid him.
When I thought that he was injured and that there was no class today, I made an excuse to avoid Su Ye and the rest and went to Bai Jing's little villa. My goal was obviously not to be here, but I was worried that there would be people watching me from the shadows that I did not know about, and that if I disappeared from the outside, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Moreover, Bai Jing's house had restrictions that could stop all the people and ghosts, so I did not need to worry about being discovered.
After I entered the house, I immediately activated the array formation and went to the Underworld. Every time there was a random exit, so I could be teleported to any place in the Underworld. This time, I came to a completely unfamiliar place I had never been before.
I guessed that I was in a corner of the eight hundred miles of the Yellow Springs, because it was surrounded by sand and there was not a shred of livelihood. But the underworld is so big, how am I supposed to find the Underworld King's Mansion? I'm in a difficult situation. As an idiot on the road, I couldn't tell the difference between north, south and east at the crossroads, let alone in this yellow sand without any reference.
I thought for a bit and shook the bell in my hand. Originally, I wanted to give Bai Jing a surprise, but it was quite unlucky for me to have him save me now. I dejectedly sat down on the yellow sand.
This one isn't good. I felt my body slowly sink in. Could this be quicksand? I thought to myself, but that shouldn't be the case. I just walked over. Nothing happened and in the blink of an eye, my lower body was already sinking in. My heart was filled with anxiety. My mind was filled with white scenes. Why hadn't they appeared yet? If they didn't appear now, I would end up here. I was in despair.
The more I struggled, the faster I fell. I could only remain motionless as I felt the sand slowly cover my entire body. The sand slowly extended to my neck and then my mouth and nose.
When the fear of death arrived, the Hundred Spirit Beast came out of the Psychic Jade and circled around me anxiously. It tried to use its spirit energy to pull me out, but nothing worked.
"Ugly woman, I told you to eat less than usual, but you wouldn't listen. Look, you're so heavy right now, you can't even pull it out."
It complained.
"Don't blame me if you don't have the ability. Aren't you a Taotie? Let me have a look at your might." I goaded it, retorted.
"It's your fault anyway. Who told you to be sent to such a damned place? Can't you just choose a good place and come out? Look, there aren't even any ants here. I can't even find people to save you." The Hundred Spirit Beast was angry.
Hundred Spirit Beast, are you not willing to part with me? Although you keep scolding me, you still can't leave me. If I really die here, remember that after I become a ghost, you have to bring me to the Underworld. I don't want to be a ghost. I began to tell the rest of the story, word for word.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The Hundred Spirit Beast was slightly angry.
"Don't worry, I'm just teasing you. Bai Jing will come back to save me. I won't die." I was sure that Bai Jing wouldn't let me down. Even though the sand had already covered my mouth, there was no fear in my heart, no fear of death.
Gradually I began to have difficulty breathing, the sand drowned my nose, I held my breath in order not to inhale the sand, then I began to feel my consciousness blur and lose consciousness, the Hundred Spirit Beast's cry of surprise was the last sound I heard, at the last moment I lost consciousness, I was thinking how Bai Jing had not come.
I treated Bai Jing as my life saver. I always felt that no matter where or when, whenever I was in danger, he would come and save me. Even now, when the Death God was walking step by step towards me, I didn't have any doubts.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough." As soon as I woke up, I felt an unbearable pain in my throat. I started coughing so hard that my tears started to flow.
My eyes also felt sore and uncomfortable, and I couldn't open them for a while. Then, I felt a pair of hands enclosing my eyes, my fingers felt cold and familiar to the touch.
"Your eyes are in the sand. You are infected. You just applied the medicine, so don't open your eyes for now." A voice as warm as jade sounded out.
I excitedly turned around and hugged Bai Jing, tears flowing uncontrollably. "I knew that you would definitely come to save me. Just in time, the yellow sand had already engulfed me. I wasn't afraid because I believed that you would definitely not let me die." I said it off and on.
Bai Jing's hand gently wiped away my tears. "Alright, it's alright. I'm late. If you continue crying, the medicine will go to waste." His voice was gentle and comforting.
I stopped crying. Bai Jing pulled me into his arms and leaned against his chest. I felt a strong sense of security, whether it was his breath or mine.
I slowly calmed down. Only then did I notice Bai Jing's abnormality. I couldn't feel Bai Jing's Spiritual Energy fluctuations. I pretended to play with Bai Jing's palm and accidentally took his pulse.
The finger on his wrist trembled slightly and his heart shuddered as well. Then, he withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, my eyes remained closed, and I couldn't tell what was wrong with me. I couldn't even get a pulse for Bai Jing.
Although Bai Jing was a King of Hell and a god of ghosts, he had the same pulse and internal organs as an ordinary person.
Bai Jing's pulse was like a stream of ancient water, without the slightest fluctuation, as if he was already dead. On top of that, I couldn't feel his spiritual energy fluctuations at all. I was extremely shocked in my heart.
"How have you been these past few days? I haven't been able to see you, so I'm a bit worried, so I came to see you." I pretended not to know anything and asked Bai Jing.
"I've been in closed door cultivation for the past few days." Bai Jing's voice came from above me. I didn't feel anything just now. Bai Jing's voice was also weak, and his breathing was extremely unstable.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked.
I could feel Bai Jing's body freeze for a moment, "It's fine, I'm old and sick, I'm fine."
I leaned against Bai Jing's chest and listened to his heartbeat. His heart was beating very fast, and I remembered that the first time I heard it, his heart was beating very slowly, and I was also shocked. His normal heartbeat now made me even more flustered, and I firmly believed that something had definitely happened to Bai Jing, and it was very serious.
