âSighââ Zhou Yuyan was puzzled. What was wrong with the people here? Were they all so indifferent? She was not ugly or shabby. She did not look like a little beggar who did not need to be ignored.
Zhou Yuyan walked towards the last auntie who was eating dumplings. âAuntâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Wan walked over unhurriedly and said to her lightly, âThereâs no need to ask. Itâs useless.â
âWhat do you mean?â Zhou Yuyan asked.
Yu Wanâs gaze swept across everyone. âDidnât you notice that theyâre abnormal?â
Zhou Yuyan really sensed that something was wrong after Yu Wan said that. These people were either working with their heads lowered or eating and drinking without any movement. It was indeed too strange.
Zhou Yuyan walked back to Yu Wanâs side in fear and grabbed her sleeve weakly. âAre they evil people? Will they kill us?â
Yu Wan stroked the Saintess Stone in her hand. âI donât know if theyâre evil people. I only know that none of them are alive!â
âAhââ Zhou Yuyan covered her mouth to stop herself from shouting.
Yu Wan found a stool to sit down on. The auntie brought over a plate of dumplings and two bowls of steaming tea. Zhou Yuyanâs face turned pale and she broke out in cold sweat. She sat down opposite Yu Wan fearfully.
Yu Wan was not in a hurry to touch the plate of dumplings. Instead, she picked up the tea bowl. Zhou Yuyan was so frightened that her hands and feet turned cold. She picked up the tea bowl with trembling hands. âHow, how did this happen?â She brought the tea bowl to her mouth in a daze and took a sip with chattering teeth.
Yu Wan said indifferently, âYou dare to drink dead peopleâs tea?â
Didnât you pick it up first?!
Before Zhou Yuyan could swallow it, she hurriedly bent down and spat out the tea when she heard her words. In the end, she saw that the originally clear tea turned into a pool of blood after being spat out onto the ground. There were also a few struggling Gu worms in the blood. All the hair on her body stood on end!!!
Yu Wan slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Zhou Yuyan was dumbfounded. âHow⦠how dare you drink it?â
âI drank the water I brought myself,â Yu Wan said as she shook the water bag in her hand.
The corners of Zhou Yuyanâs mouth twitched. When did this woman⦠change the water in the bowl?
Yu Wan took her chopsticks and picked up a dumpling. Zhou Yuyan grabbed her wrist. âYou canât eat it!â
Yu Wan smiled faintly, removed her hand, and gently took a bite of the steaming dumpling. âOh, not bad, itâs actually mutton filling.â
Zhou Yuyan: âArenât⦠arenât you afraid that someone inside will poison it?â Yu Wan glanced at the blood on the ground and said, âThatâs not poison.â
âWhat is it?â Zhou Yuyan asked.
âIllusion,â Yu Wan said.
âHuh?â Zhou Yuyan looked confused.
Yu Wan looked around. âTo be able to create such a powerful illusion, its sorcery power is no small matter. Now, I finally believe that your senior brother is right. Thereâs indeed a great sorcerer living on the island.â
Zhou Yuyan said, âAre you saying that theyâre all illusions? How is that possible? Even a great sorcerer at my fatherâs level canât create such a powerful⦠â
Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Wan stood up and left indifferently. She left a Saintess Stone on the table.
The Saintess Stone flashed with golden light.
Zhou Yuyan covered her eyes with her hand. When the golden light dissipated and she opened her eyes again, there was no one or the shed. She was sitting on a bare stone.
She was stunned. It was unknown if she was surprised that the other party had created such a powerful illusion or if Yu Wan had actually easily broken through the other partyâs illusion.
âHey! Wait for me!â Zhou Yuyan only knew that her life was tied to this woman!
