On the eve of the college entrance exams, Lin Siyun, who had been in the limelight for the past three years, suddenly died in a car accident. Not only did she die in a miserable manner, but she was not even allowed to be free after her death. She was influenced by mysterious forces and turned into a ghost to make random killings.

At first, Ji Mingxia thought that Lin Siyun’s abnormal changes were related to this blood-red ring but looking back, it must be that Lin Siyun could not resist the temptation of the ring and made perverse choices time and again in exchange for beauty and glory.  Eventually leading to the loss of her life to the ring.

Li Youzi’s life had also undergone considerable changes.

She went from being a video blogger with little fame to an internet sensation with a huge fan base that brings in countless amounts of money.

In contrast to Lin Siyun, Li Youzi was naturally beautiful and had good academic performance. It may be that she did not have so many wishes so the blood red ring did not reap her life in exchange.

Upon realising that there was something wrong with the ring, Li Youzi, with her intelligence, must have associated it with her six best friends whom she met online.

Since playing that game and giving two rings to Li Youzi and Lin Siyun, those six friends of hers had become more and more fortunate in their careers, and had amassed fortunes.

They didn’t have the rings, but they had such luck so it was obvious that everything was based on the sacrifice of two.

As soon as Lin Siyun died, Li Youzi planned this forest holiday, and a group of people with different agendas gathered together.

A death occurred in the space of one night.

The first to die was Lu Liang, followed by Shi Wei.

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning didn’t witness the two deaths and there was no way to judge the truth.

The third person to die was Zhou Li, who was killed by Song Yuelin.

Five days after Zhou Li’s death, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning entered the forest and met Song Yuelin by chance.

Song Yuelin introduced the rules of the hide-and-seek game to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning: the monster comes at dusk to play hide-and-seek with the humans, and the first one to be found will be slaughtered and taken away.

When dusk came, Song Yuelin, Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia hid together.

Song Yuelin seemed to have good intentions, but in reality he had a different ambition. After hiding, Song Yuelin deliberately exposed Ji Mingxia to the monster.

 However, the monster was not interested in Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning. In addition, Yu Ning had two mysterious items to protect them. In the end, Song Yuelin, who thought that he was very clever by leading the monster to kill Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, ended up as the monster’s target.

To save his life, Song Yuelin sacrificed Zhou Li’s corpse to the monster and escaped.

Up to this point, there was one loophole in Song Yuelin’s words.

There were seven people in the forest, and the monster appeared at dusk every day to kill at least one person.

But it was Song Yuelin’s fifth day in the forest, and even Zhou Li, whom he killed, and Li Youzi, who was mistakenly thought to be dead, were added, the monster had only killed four people in total.

The monster had killed four people in five days, so what was it doing on the unaccounted day?

Song Yuelin fled, and only Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were left at the scene so they had too little information to speculate on the truth.

What was certain at the time was that, apart from Song Yuelin and Li Youzi, there were two others alive; Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan. So, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning headed deeper into the forest with the hope that they’d meet up with those two.

They were lucky enough to meet Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi on the sixth day. That afternoon, as Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi were plotting to steal Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia’s supplies, the monster uncharacteristically appeared early.

The time pattern of the monster’s appearance was once again broken.

In other words, the theory that the monster kills one person every day, was not valid.

The point that the monster appeared only at dusk was also not valid.

The rules of the game, as Song Yuelin called them, were completely overturned, but they still couldn’t find the pattern of the monsters’ appearance.

Until when the monster reappeared today.

This time, not only did it not appear at dusk, it even reappeared with two more corpses.

But the strange thing was that instead of killing Bao Guangyuan, the monster simply bypassed him as if it didn’t see him.

Li Youzi, who was hiding in the monster, wanted to kill Bao Guangyuan, but she could not go against the rules of the game.

And it was at this moment that Yu Ning’s words awakened Ji Mingxia.

The real rules of the game were not killing at dusk.

The rules of the hide-and-seek game a few years ago, and the hide-and-seek game in the present, were the same; the choice is in the hands of the person concerned.

The evil thoughts in their hearts would attract the monster, and it would stimulate its bloodthirst and killing intent.

The first time Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning encountered the monster was when Song Yuelin tried to kill them.

The second time they met the monster was when Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi were plotting to take their supplies.

The monster wouldn’t show itself unless they did not have evil thoughts in their hearts.

Meng Xinyi stole Yu Ning’s backpack last night and went down the mountain. She must have encountered the monster as soon as she stepped off the mountain; or perhaps she met Song Yuelin at the bottom of the mountain.…

Whatever the outcome, these two people eventually perished at the hands of the monster.

Today was the seventh day since Li Youzi, Song Yuelin and the others had entered the forest.

Aside from Li Youzi, only Bao Guangyuan was left of the seven people.

In the absence of evil thoughts, Li Yuzu forcefully made the monster appear. Unfortunately, she had no way to activate the power of the mysterious item, so she was vulnerable and fell under Yu Ning’s hands in a few rounds.

With her defeat, the blood-red ring couldn’t wait to leave her and find a new owner.

At this moment, Li Youzi was not losing to them, she was just losing to the rules of the game.

“Why is that? What does Yu Ning mean?” Bao Guangyuan saw the look of complete understanding on Ji Mingxia’s face after Yu Ning spoke and he asked him anxiously.

Seeing that Li Youzi was not a threat for the time being, Ji Mingxia relaxed slightly and explained to Bao Guangyuan, “We all thought that Li Youzi was dead and was transformed into the monster ghost by the ring to take revenge and kill people. However, she is still alive and although we don’t know what method she used to activate the energy of the ring, the power she got is limited. This hide-and-seek game, including Li Youzi, had rules to be abided with.

“The more dark and negative thoughts you have in your hearts, the easier it is for the monster to appear and the more convenient it is to kill people. When you decide not to harm people, neither Li Youzi nor the monster can do anything to you.”

Ji Mingxia said to Bao Guangyuan, “In short, it means that you are completely safe.”

Bao Guangyuan was confused with the first part, but he immediately understood the last part of the sentence. He was stunned and his eyes went wide, “Really?”

Ji Mingxia looked at him, and then at Li Youzi’s pale face, and he sighed, “You were just a junior high school student when you played the game back then. You had no say and you lost your memory after the game so you were not among those who decided to give the rings to Li Youzi and Lin Siyun. Let alone the fact that you lost your memory for all those years, you didn’t actively harm anyone when you came to the forest.  You are quite innocent-“

Li Youzi interrupted Ji Mingxia before he could finish his words.

“What do you know? You are meddling in our affairs but what do you know?!” Li Youzi shouted.

Although she was still alive, she looked like she only had a few breaths left, and despite her fierce and angry expression, her voice was not loud, but rather very sharp: “The most innocent people were me and Siyun! We had agreed to go to high school together, to go to university together, and after that, to support each other and stay together forever! Because of your greed, you went to the countryside to play a game despite the dangers and lost. Then you had Siyun and I to take the blame for all this, why?

“We told all of you that the invitation was weird and came out of nowhere so it couldn’t have been arranged by the company, but you went anyway for the thrill of it.”

“Without the ring, Siyun wouldn’t have been tempted, she would not have used up her luck just to become beautiful and excellent.”

“She wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t have sacrificed my body and soul to the ring for revenge, becoming this monster that’s neither human nor ghost……”

Li Youzi spoke as she looked at her thin body that was about to run out of breath. The corners of her eyes turned red: “But even after becoming this monster, I failed to didn’t kill everyone …… No one helped us when they harmed us in the first place.”

“Li Siyun always had nightmares of dying as a sacrifice, she hid and struggled for so long, but that day still came and she died so tragically.”

“The car rammed into her body, she dragged herself with her intestines out, and crawled far and wide. Her blood was all over the ground, but who came to our aid, who came to our rescue?”

Li Youzi looked at Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia hatefully: “When innocent people were being victimised, you didn’t lend a helping hand, and now when innocent people want to use their power to fight back, you all jump out one by one, impatient to take the moral high ground. Who are you to stop me?”

As she finished speaking, she suddenly gasped and coughed violently a few times, and the next moment, Li Youzi vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood.

She spat out dark red blood interspersed with blood clots and pieces of flesh, shocking Ji Mingxia and Bao Guangyuan.

Unlike the crowd’s reaction, Li Youzi was not angry or frightened when she saw how much blood she had spat out. 

She laughed out loud, stuck out her tongue and licked the dark red blood from the corner of her mouth, smiling as she raised her head to look at Yu Ning, “So what if you take it away, the curse has already begun…”

Curse?!

It was not a good word to hear.

Even in the ordinary world where there were no supernatural events, everyone would feel fear when they heard of curses, let alone in this special world.

Ji Mingxia immediately thought of the blood-red ring Yu Ning had just taken and he suspected that Li Youzi had tampered with it.

He couldn’t care less about his fear of Li Youzi and he immediately rushed forward, “What curse, whom are you cursing?”

“I will curse whoever has caused me to become like this.” Li Youzi was content to see Ji Mingxia panic. She grinned with a blood-stained mouth, her eyes looking crazed as she said to Ji Mingxia, “Didn’t you give me the ring because you wanted to use me as a sacrifice and offer me to the ring? Siyun was too stupid, she felt she was paying for her greed and would rather die than harm people but I am different.”

Li Youzi said slowly, “I made a deal with the ring, and the ring gave me it’s energy in exchange. It wanted sacrifices so I killed and offered all the blood to it; it wanted souls so I offered mine. I cursed all those who harmed me ……”

 Li Youzi spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood before she finished her sentence.

The blood was getting darker and darker, and the flesh was mixed with internal organs.

But Li Youzi laughed, and as if reciting a spell, said: “The person who holds the ring before me will suffer the repercussions and curses of me and the ring. I curse his soul and his body to rot, and he will soon die.”

As she spoke, the triangular crest on her head grew fainter and fainter until it gradually disappeared.

Without the triangular crest to support her, Li Youzi seemed to have lost all her strength. Her body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

The ground was covered with the blood and pieces of flesh she had spat out, the dark red blood stained her clothes and skin, and as Li Youzi lay in a pool of her own blood, she said: “All those who harmed me will not be allowed to die well, I will finally sleep with the one I love. ……”

Her voice grew lower and lower, and she finally closed her eyes.

The moment she stopped breathing, the boundary around the forest broke with a crisp “bang” and it shattered like a broken glass.

The scene around them did not change much, but a breeze blew through the forest the moment the boundary broke open.

All the places that were hit by the wind swirled up with fine dust.

The limbs and flesh all over the ground seemed as if they had instantly passed their frozen freshness. In the blink of an eye, they turned into long-decayed bones, and when the wind blew, they directly turned into dust that dissipated without a trace.

Li Youzi who had the only intact body also underwent a great change in that instant.

Her body was drained of blood, and her body deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally pretty girl turned into a dry corpse instantaneously. 

The wind blew past and the dry body gradually turned to dust that rolled gently until it eventually came up to the water.

The water from the Love Mountain Spring flowed quietly, taking away the remains that had been reduced to dust, and with it went all the love and hate.

------

Li Youzi used her body and soul to place a curse on the ring’s previous owner, and from the moment of her death, the curse took effect.

 Li Youzi died in front of everyone, the forest boundary broke open, and a curse took effect.

The scene of her body shrinking into a dry corpse and then dissipating before their eyes was simply poignant and frightening, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Of the three, Ji Mingxia and Bao Guangyuan were the most terrified by Li Youzi’s death.

Even after having experienced so many things and so many ghosts, it was Ji Mingxia’s first time to see a person die right in front of his eyes.

Watching the other person turn from a living person to a dead body and dissipate was a shock that sent chills down his spine.

Yu Ning was the only one who looked calm and unaffected.

Seeing that Ji Mingxia’s face was a little pale, Yu Ning walked over to him and called out to him, “Mingxia.”

On hearing Yu Ning’s voice, Ji Mingxia’s heart warmed and he suddenly snapped back to his senses.

The next moment, he hurriedly grabbed Yu Ning’s hand and said, “Yu Ning, this ring is too evil, it actually functions as a curse, it’s simply unheard of …… Do you feel anything? "Ji Mingxia anxiously checked on Yu Ning’s condition.

Yu Ning quickly held Ji Mingxia’s hand down, “I’m fine, don’t be nervous, I’m fine and the rings are normal.”

He knew that Li Youzi’s death had scared Ji Mingxia, so he directly spread his palm and showed the two rings to Ji Mingxia.

As if they had sensed something, the two rings immediately floated out from Yu Ning’s palm and spinned several times in place.

Seeing no reaction from Ji Mingxia, one of the rings took the other ring with it and floated up like a lasso.

They circled around Yu Ning’s hand for awhile, then to Ji Mingxia’s, swaying back and forth as if they were living things. They’d also rubbing against Ji Mingxia’s and Yu Ning’s hands occasionally.

Perhaps it was his illusion, but Ji Mingxia actually saw some hints of ingratiation in the way the two rings were flying around.

Ji Mingxia looked at the two rings that were performing so hard, and then at Yu Ning, and he instantly came to his senses.

He almost forgot that Yu Ning was the main protagonist.

With the protagonist halo, it was absolutely impossible for Li Youzi, a supporting character whose name had never even appeared, to hurt him.

As for these two rings ……their fawning look made Ji Mingxia completely relieved!

Yu Ning let the rings perform and said to Ji Mingxia: “The man who sent out the invitations and organized the game was the cause of the matter, the promoter was Song Yuelin and the others, and the ultimate victims were Li Youzi and Lin Siyun.

“After Lin Siyun’s death, Li Youzi started killing people for revenge. The ones she wanted to kill were her companions back then, and the one she wanted to curse was the mysterious man who sent out the invitations.”

There were no evil thoughts in Bao Guangyuan’s heart so Li Youzi’s murderous plan was not perfectly executed so she was full of hostility before she died.

She was already delirious at that point and when she saw Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning standing with Bao Guangyuan, she regarded Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning as villains.

But in reality, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were not involved in this matter from the beginning to the end.

They did not deliberately obstruct Li Youzi, nor did they deliberately protect Bao Guangyuan and the others.

They came to the forest to get the other ring because Lin Siyun had tried killing people after transforming into a ghost, and they didn’t want to be affected by the other ring since they were a pair.

As outsiders in the whole affair, Li Youzi couldn’t kill Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning nor could they be hurt by her curse after her death.

In Ji Mingxia’s view, it was simply justifiable for Li Youzi to curse the mysterious man hosted the whole game and caused this series of tragedies.

He was even on her side and agreed with her.

Now, the seven people, Lin Siyun, Li Youzi, Lu Liang, Shi Wei, Zhou Li, Song Yuelin and Meng Xinyi, were all dead.

Li Youzi had cursed the mysterious man so he would definitely end up with a miserable future and a tragic death.

The only survivor of the whole incident was Bao Guangyuan. He was a minor back then and had no intention of harming anyone even now.

With Li Youzi’s death and the breaking of the forest’s boundary, the matter had finally come to a brief end.

It had only been a month from the time when Ji Mingxia crossed over to this world and saw Lin Siyun’s ghost, to the present.

Ji Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that the countless dangers he had experienced during this period had finally ended.

Although the process was arduous, it was fortunately not without its rewards.

He and his roommates had become good friends; he and Yu Ning had shared hardships and trusted each other.

Most importantly, Yu Ning had harvested several special mysterious items: a pair of rings, and a bronze mirror.

Zhao Zhouye and the others were still waiting for them at the Quanzhuang hoty, and Ji Mingxia said to Yu Ning, “So, can we get pack up and go back?”

“Mm.” Seeing that Ji Mingxia had no interest in the rings, Yu Ning put away the rings that were still *selling themselves.

*Trying to impress Ji Mingxia 

The rings reluctantly flashes red but they eventually laid down quietly as soon as Yu Ning put them into his pocket, and they stopped moving around.

Bao Guangyuan was standing in place, staring blankly at the ground.

The flesh and limbs that had littered the ground a moment ago had all disappeared. The ground was now empty, with no other debris than dust and weeds.

The monster, the pieces of flesh, the dried body, the curse…… the gruesome killings, the hideous truths, it was as if everything was his illusion, a grotesque dream.

For Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, everything that happened within the forest, although horrible, was ultimately the life and death of strangers. All they received was the shock of fellow humans killing each other, but there was no emotional entanglement with these people.

It was not the first time that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had seen a ghost, and with a little adjustment, their minds returned to normal.

But for Bao Guangyuan, those dead people were friends he had been with for many years.

In the blink of an eye, all those people were gone, leaving him alone and standing in place.

He stared blankly at the ground for a long time, and it was only when Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia started to pack up their things that Bao Guangyuan came back to his senses: “So am I …… free to go too?”

“Of course.” Ji Mingxia said.

Bao Guangyuan felt a little incredulous: “Then…I can leave now?”

“Yes, let’s go.” Ji Mingxia said.

“I’m really leaving?” Bao Guangyuan confirmed again.

“No one is keeping you.” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but look at his silly expression, “But you’ll sleep at the foot of the mountain if you go down now, ah.”

“Huh?” Bao Guangyuan was stunned, “I can’t go home yet?”

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning didn’t have a lot of stuff, and they weren’t going to leave now so they decided to rectify a little.

Ji Mingxia finished sorting his things, walked over to Bao Guangyuan and said, “It’s three o’clock in the afternoon, we’re halfway up the mountain at Love Mountain Spring.”

“Mm-hmm.” Bao Guangyuan nodded his head.

“It will be dark by the time we get down the mountain, and it will be a day’s walk from Love Mountain Spring to the edge of the forest. Even if you don’t sleep and walk through the night, you will still reach the edge of the forest tomorrow.” Ji Mingxia said, “Can you move in the dark all night?”

Bao Guangyuan shook his head.

Ji Mingxia said, “We can’t either, so we decided to set off tomorrow at dawn.”

Bao Guangyuan understood this time and quickly hugged Ji Mingxia’s thighs tightly, “I’ll join you guys-!!!”

Ji Mingxia was suddenly held by his thighs and he could hardly stand steady.

He swayed and his ear canal burst into pain. Ji Mingxia hurriedly covered his ears and said, “Don’t shake me, don’t shake me, it hurts ……”

Yu Ning immediately came over and pulled Bao Guangyuan, who became well behaved as soon as he saw him, away from Ji Mingxia. He shrank to the side and tried to reduce his presence, deeply afraid that Yu Ning would find fault with him. 

Yu Ning was completely focused on Ji Mingxia. Seeing the way he was covering his ears and frowning, he gently removed Ji Mingxia’s hand and then took a closer look at Ji Mingxia’s ears.

Ji Mingxia’s skin was a very healthy white. The skin on his ears and that part of his neck was relatively thin, and the light blue veins were clearly visible.

Ji Mingxia’s ears were slightly smaller than normal people, and the thin ear bones were as delicate as white jade.

Yu Ning touched his ear and Ji Mingxia felt as if an electric current had passed through Yu Ning’s hand, and his whole body tingled with a jolt.

This sudden shock made Ji Mingxia react half a beat slower.

Before he could jump away, Ji Mingxia heard Yu Ning say, “Let me take a look.”

“No, no way ……,” Ji Mingxia immediately refused.

He became numb from just Yu Ning’s touch. If he really helped him pull out his ears, then he ……he would definitely become embarrassed.

Yu Ning said, “I’ll just take a look, I won’t go in.”

Ji Mingxia: …… Why did this sound a little familiar?

Although he was too embarrassed to let Yu Ning look at his ears, the tingling in his ear canal was really uncomfortable.

The matter of the blood red ring had finally come to an end, they would be heading back down the mountain to the hotel tomorrow, so they would have to walk for at least a day.

His ears hurt just from shaking his head, so it was best to fix the problem as soon as possible so that it is convenient to move tomorrow.

He didn’t want to be the cause of everyone’s delay.

There was nothing on this mountain, and staying another day was out of the question. Everyone wanted to get out as soon as possible and get back to their normal lives.

So although he was extremely embarrassed, Ji Mingxia eventually nodded.

“I’ll go get the cotton swabs.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia lowered his head and watched as Yu Ning opened his backpack.

At this moment, Bao Guangyuan, who had been shrinking in the corner, suddenly came over and whispered, “Mingxia, is there someone there?”

“Huh?” Ji Mingxia froze.

Bao Guangyuan’s small eyes were staring at a short distance away intently, and Ji Mingxia hurriedly followed Bao Guangyuan’s line of sight.

They were halfway up the mountain and because of the high terrain, they could see farther away.

Bao Guangyuan was pointing at a dense part of the forest downstream of the Love Mountain Spring.

It was quiet there at the moment, and there was nothing else but mountains and water.

Bao Guangyuan whispered, “I think I saw a figure walking around there.”

“How is it possible ……Li Youzi brought you to this area and blocked it with a boundary, so ordinary people can’t get in at all. It’s been less than half an hour since Li Youzi died and this is the central area of the boundary. There’s no way anyone could have already reached here after entering the forest.” Ji Mingxia muttered, and after a few seconds, the words changed, “Unless ……”

“Unless what?” Bao Guangyuan hurriedly pursued the question.

Yu Ning’s voice came from behind him, “Unless, this person has been in the boundary all along.”

“What do you mean …… are you saying that there was someone else in this area all along?!” Bao Guangyuan was shocked, his whole body was not good, “Who is that person, is it another monster, a murderous ghost or something like that ……”

He had survived with great difficulty and wanted to return home as soon as possible. Was it that something dangerous had popped up to kill him at the critical moment?

Compared to the trembling Bao Guangyuan, both Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning’s expressions looked much more serious.

There was someone else in the forest and the signs had always been there.

First of all, the monster that Li Youzi had transformed into had a golden triangular crest on its head.

Ji Mingxia had previously thought that it was another mysterious item, but no extra mysterious items had dropped after her death, and the triangular crest had disappeared.

Even before dying, Li Youzi did not say anything about the origin of the triangular crest.

Secondly, Li Youzi kept blaming Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, treating them as the perpetrators.

Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia had never interfered in her affairs from the beginning to the end, so why would she be so hostile?

There was only one explanation; Li Youzi had met someone else before meeting Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia and upon seeing them, she instantly acquiesced that Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were in cahoots with that person.

As Li Youzi was already dying and their attention was all on the curse, neither Ji Mingxia nor Yu Ning had the time to ask her about it so those questions had become unsolved mysteries.

Afterwards, Ji Mingxia didn’t think about it because he wanted to quickly get out of there.

He never imagined that someone would come in their direction in just a few moments.

The terrain of the area was treacherous, and they were halfway up the mountain. It was absolutely impossible for a normal person to randomly climb up the mountain so the only possibility was that …… that person was looking for them.

Looking back at this whole matter, the only person whose identity was a mystery was the mysterious man who had sent out the invitations and given out the blood-red rings.

Thinking of that mysterious man sent a chill down Ji Mingxia’s spine.

A light-hearted game years ago had brought about the death of seven people.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the mysterious man was a vicious person.

So, was he about to appear?

Both Bao Guangyuan and Ji Mingxia tensed up.

Yu Ning unconsciously changed his stance and walked in front of Ji Mingxia, staring at the incoming man warily.

The rings and the bronze mirror were already in his hands, all standing at attention.

No one dared to take this mysterious man lightly, and all three were on the alert.

As the time passed on, the figure weaved its way through the dense forest, approaching them in large strides and appearing in their field of vision.

It was a tall, adult man.

He was dressed in black, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and he carried a black backpack. His figure seemed to be melting into darkness.

Under his short black hair were eyes as sharp as a knife.

As he approached Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, the bronze bell hanging on his waist suddenly moved and made a crisp ringing sound.

His eyes were dark and his gaze swept silently over the three people present, first landing on Bao Guangyuan, then slowly moving away and finally stopping on Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia’s entire body stiffened.

This man, this look, this body type …… and most importantly, the bronze bell-

The contents of the novel surged through Ji Mingxia’s mind, and they slowly corresponded with the man in front of him.

A name slowly emerged, and Ji Mingxia looked at the man with wide eyes. He was so astonished that he couldn’t help control his mouth.

“Pei, Pei Yuan ……?”
