Suddenly, I felt goosebumps all over my body. I was the only one here, there was nothing by my side, and there were no branches either. Why would something pull on me?

Bold, I looked around the tomb chamber, and by the light of the lamp, I found that the tomb chamber walls were actually a lot of murals.

It seemed like a long time ago, but it didn't affect me as I looked at the contents on it. After looking at it once, I could roughly understand the contents of the murals.

It was a beautiful love story to tell, and the characters in the mural were simple. There was always a man and a woman, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as a man and a woman.

The two of them loved each other very much, as well as many beautiful memories. But afterwards, the woman in the mural seemed to be injured, or perhaps she was sick. In any case, she was dead.

The rest of the story was about the man bitterly guarding the woman's corpse, then it disappeared.

I sighed softly. In the end, there was no way for a man and a woman to escape from love. Even though the ending of such beautiful love is a bit worse, it can still be considered blissful.

"Little girl, you're finally here!" A clear and melodious voice rang out in his mind from behind him. It was supposed to be a pleasant voice, but now it was actually a little disconcerting.

"Who are you?" I was so scared that I started trembling. I looked around and realized that there was no one in the tomb.

"You naughty girl, you made me wait so hard!"

Eh, this voice is actually behind me. I forcefully endured it and used my courage to turn around to look.

In the end, he saw a man dressed in gorgeous red clothes standing not far away from me.

Unconsciously, he started to feel strange. As he looked at the peerlessly beautiful face, he felt a bit lost.

It wasn't as if he had never seen beautiful people before. However, he was a man that was neither male nor female. He was truly too alluring.

It was unknown if it was fortunate or unfortunate for a man to look like this.

He looked about the same as the man I had seen in my dream, except that he looked a little more manly than this one.

But why did he call me lass?

This sort of address had always been used by the elders as they addressed the younger generation, or perhaps it was only used between intimate male and female friends.

And was he a human or a ghost?

Why did it appear here?

"Who are you?" I asked him abruptly. At this moment, I even forgot to be afraid.

Listening to me, his eyes beamed with a devilish smile, and he strode towards me, carrying a shelf, one hand on his chest, the other hanging at his side, swaying as he walked.

He didn't look like an ordinary person, but how could I be offended by such an unclean thing?

"We've been separated for so long. Does the girl miss me?" As he walked, he spoke in a language I didn't understand. I didn't know him, so why would I miss him?

I don't answer, just look at him and think about how to get out of here.

As he continued to approach me, the temperature of the surroundings gradually dropped. I couldn't help but feel a little bitter in my heart. How did I end up encountering such a thing in the past two days?

I backed away step by step as he approached, and in the next second I was pulled into his arms without even being able to see what was happening.

The cold air made my bones go soft. He was very tall, around 1.9 meters, and I was 1.65 meters. Obviously, I didn't have any advantage over him.

As I approached him, I realized that he looked exactly like the man in the mural. Could it be a wall painting?

Thinking about the movies I've seen before, I had a few wild guesses, but it only took me a second to recover.

Because my fingers were already reaching towards my neck, my entire body shuddered and I subconsciously wanted to resist.

Just as I was about to push him away, the White Dragon Jade Bracelet that was hanging around my neck suddenly lit up and emitted a burst of white light, instantly knocking away the man who was hugging me.

With my body free, I tried to lean against the wall behind me to calm myself down.

He looked at the man in red. After being bounced off, he crashed into the wall of the tomb. Then, he fell to the ground. His entire body began to emit thick smoke, making a piercing sound.

There was also a large hole in his chest, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of rotting flesh.

"Ugh …" I let out an uncontrollable vomit.

When he looked at the man again, he had already stood up. He was no longer as handsome as he was before. His entire body was like a dried corpse, looking extremely creepy.

I subconsciously wanted to escape, so I did it as well. My feet felt as though they were being blown by the wind as I ran for my life towards the entrance of the cave.

"Little girl, you've already …" Before I could finish my sentence, I heard a thud from behind me.

It must be because he was so heavily injured. Not long later, I rushed out of the cave. Thinking back to the scene just now, I didn't expect Bai Yu to save me.

"I grabbed the white jade in front of my chest and kissed it." "My darling, you've helped me a lot today."

"Lingyue! Lingyue, where are you? " Lin Dan's voice entered my ears, so I immediately ran over.

"Danshen, I'm here..." I waved at her, and when I came out of the cave, it wasn't as dark as it had been before. At least I could see her clearly.

I quickly walked to Lin Dan, held her hand, and ran down the mountain.

"Lingyue, where did you just go? You scared me to death! Are you alright?" Lin Dan, who was beside me, sounded a little worried, and even a little tearful.

"I'm fine. Let's hurry up and go. It's getting dark, otherwise it'll be hard to go down the mountain later." Subconsciously, I didn't want to tell Lin Dan what had just happened.

On one hand, I was worried that she would be scared after hearing it. On the other hand, I was worried that she might have thought to capture the white jade on me. After all, in this era, it was good to be a little wary of others.

When we returned to the dorm, Ai Mengmeng and Fang Yunxi wasn't there. Lin Dan and I washed up briefly before going to bed respectively.

I lay in bed, tossing and turning until I couldn't fall asleep. The events of the past two days were really too bizarre. From the night of my birthday onwards until now, there was no way to explain anything.

And was what happened that night really just a dream? What about last night? And what I saw today, was it all fake?

I thought I was going to sleep late, but in less than fifteen minutes my eyelids had begun to grow heavy.

In a daze, I felt someone pull back my quilt, and then I was in a cold embrace.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a smile on Qin Yize's face. He was looking at me and seeing that I had woken up, his hands didn't stop moving either.

"Qing Qing didn't behave well today, don't go to that place in the back mountain anymore, remember your husband's words?" Qin Yize said as he gently bit on my earlobe.

My entire body trembled, and my mouth unconsciously let out a groan, as I was somewhat mesmerized.

"Why do you want to pester... "I …" I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time. I'm not unparalleled in looks, and I don't have any superpowers. I really don't understand it.

"Be good, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, your husband is asking for your own good." Qin Yize didn't answer my question. Instead, he lightly kissed my forehead.

My eyelids became heavier and my entire body felt weak.
